The Mississippi Levees.


The serious danger Of overflow by

been unanticipated. From time to time
the detective condition Of the levees has
been 0dverted to in the journals Of that

enumerated five great CrevaSSeS from
which immediate danger was TO be appre-

then the smallest and most distant. The

Consumption of Smoke.
From the Pittsburgh Gazette.

The appellation most universally APP
piled to designate our great industrial
mart-"the Smoky City," is u very apprO-
pirate and truthful one, for hardly any
other town in the world is more thor
oughly fumigated from extensive use OF
the exceedingly fumiferous bituminous

thick, heavy, impenetrable smoke, that

are TO exaggeIate tOstrangers its good and
healthy qualities, or how well pleased we
are to be distinguished and known abroad
as the "SmOky City," still We fully appre-
Ciate the fact, It we do not always confess
il, that it is u positive and damaging nuis-

to get rid Of If VIC only knew how to do
It successfully. Plans have been in oper-

smoke is consumed, and many inventions
having the same object in view have been
patented in this country, but up till the
present time none have been practically
operated in this locality. However, we

In 1900 the assessed valuation Of real
and personal property in Virginia was
$G57,O2l 1886, of which $417,O52,22S was
real, and $23O,OG0, 1903 personal property.
In 1870 the valuation Ofreal and personal
property in Virginia and West Virginia
embracing same territory was $3.50, $780,
aG7-a falling Off of $17G,291,O 900, 1t will
be seen that $2S, 23S,09S of this loss Is on
real estate and $l41002,O7l in personal
property. A large proportion of this latter
SUN, no doubt, represents the result of
emancipation.
Judged by thesei figures, 10 speak Of
nothing else, VirginiN's experiment Of
raising rebellion to maintain aud pro-
pagatC slavery did not pay. Ten years Of
time and many thousands Of lives lost,
and hundred and seventy.six millions
loss of property, with the complete ex'
tinction OF slavery, arc the net results.
Yet il her people arc wise they are much

is worth its cost II along with the cost we
