The WelZel Dam and Its Results.

The Louisville Commercial, Of Tuesday
says:
General Weitzels dam has stood the
severe test of the running ice. and remains
as solid as the river bed itself. The work
will be actively prosecuted during the COM
ing summer. and. when finished. there will
exist a water power greater than the whole
of the Massachusetts water powers COM
bined.. The sluce in the dam will be about
..00 feet wide-the width of the Indian
chute. The whole force and depth of the
river will be concentrated here. and the
grandest water power to be found in the
country will be found right in our doors.
Far down the river, as far as the eye can
reach. ia solid rock foundation for 1ac
tories. They can be built side by side, and
all receive the same tremendous motive
power. Some day we will see the utiliza
ton of this power, which the general gov
ernment has perfected for us. When men
cease to banker after the eighteen per cent
of street paper, and invest their funds Judi
ciousiy i'll industrial agents, realizing that
practical and persistent lndustry will make
them public bcneiactOrs as well as secure
large returns, then the now magnificent
waste of power will be carefully garnered
ard caused to give forth its pregnant wealth

Payment of the Public Debt.

A Washington special, of Monday, to the
St. Louis Republican, says:
Mr. Voorhees,. of Indiana to day intro
duced bill to enforce the payment of the
public debt in legal tender currency, accord
ing to the law of the contract, as deter
mined and pronounced 10y the Supreme
Court of the United States. The bill pro-
vides that the Secretary of the Treasury
shall pay the debts Of the United States as
they fall due in the national legal tender
currency, excepting only in those instances
where the evidence OF the Indebtedness
specifies that the payment is to be made in
gold or silver coin. The bill was referred
to the Committee Of Ways and Means.

"Girls,n and 'sNice Young Men,,
Miss Olive Logan will lecture in this c

Miss Olive Logan will lecture in this city
next week on these subjects. The Louis
vile Commercial says Of one of her lectures:
Sparkling and bright were the gems she
wore," but still more sparkling and still
more bright were the gems which fell in the
words she uttered. Sparkling" is the word
that expresses the character of the Logan
lecture. Its wit sparkled like precious
stones, its pathos like dew-drops in the early
sun.
The st. Louis Republican, whose criticism
is sometimes mereiless. says:
The lecture is full of telling points, which
apparently come to the surface without et-
fort. There is just enough satire to give it
flavor, and not enough to be reckoned as one
of the features. There are thrusts of wit
which flash like keen steel, but do not
wound. There is plenty of drollery. Miss
Logan speaks fiuently, without the aid of
manuscript and talks all over. She APP
pears TO enjoy herself amazingly, and has "a
happy faculty Of communicating her enjoy
ment to others. Her voice is clear, ringing,
and peculiarly sympathetic. and her man
ner is altogether charming. There was not
one of the audience that was not delighted
with the novel entertainment.

MORE TROUBLES. The redoubtable Mat
Hogan seems 10 have peculiar facility fer
getting into trouble, a misfortune which is,
however: somewhat counteracted by the
ease with which he gets out again. He was
gobbled on Wednesday night in the third

chief and stealing a few groceries. George
Wallace was with him, and in addition to
the above two charges, has that of carrying
concealed weapons tackled on to him.
