THE MISSISSIPPI.
No High Wafer This Time.

4 consultation with the the maps con-
structed under the supervision Of the board
OF engineers, by Mr.. Wrotno>ki. and facts
elected by conversation with II. JEFF Thomp-
son. who carries the Louisiana leyees in his
breeches pocket, simply shows that there
will not be high water this year, as a great
many people have been led to suppose.
Maps showing the tide of the Mississippi
for the past ten years are visible at the
Office OF the engineers, opposite tie Me
chanics Institute. From these the reporter
CLEANS that the river year lasts from Octo-
Der to November. A food tide is never
sudden, but always comes by degrees, and
Old Proba bilities himself will soon set to
work and announce days ahead the exact
height OF the river at a given point in time
to set ones house in order ana to take q
tlatboat.
At Memphis the water is now about
tlirty-one feet below the highest point OF
last year at this time. Last year the waters
began to rush through Bonnet Care on the
nineteenth of this month. From the stage
OF the water at present, compared with the
height at every period of extraordinary
floods, the conclusion comes to those inter
ested that the river OF 1879 will be low,
taking into account the expected melting of
hyper borean SHOWS, future thaws, April
rains Or any other source Of river water.
The levees are sound. Tie work of repair
ing still goes on. 1t is certainly a source of
congratulation that food will not be
among the misfortunes of the people.

Local Intelligence.

The EERDlCT-Coroner Creagh yester'
day closed his inquest on the body Of James
+Storey. whom the police took from the yard
No. III Tchoupitoulas street, and sent to
sthe Charity Hospital, where he died in four
hours atterward. Captain Mccain was
-authorlzed, by circumstances, to arrest one
PettinS;I on suspicion that he was impli-
fcated in the affair. The jury yesterday re-
turned verdict that death was caused by
some person unknown. Pettingill was re-
.Sleased last evening. 1t is evident taking
the wavering testimony given before the
-coroner. that the man was murdered, but it
rs not positively know that deceased name
was Storey, though paper on his person in
dictated that it was. He seems to have had
no intimate friends

The Black Crook.

The BLACK Crook " was produced al the
Academy last evening, in all its dazzling
ma gnifcence to one of the largest audiences
that has ever graced the Academy for years.
Long before midday all the seats were Sc
cured. and at six o'clock standing room was
only available.
To give description Of this wonderful
play would be out of place, and it Is only
just and due to the management to say that
the Black Crook" as produced at the
Academy last evening, was simply a
triumph in the history OF the stage.
The cast WIS SCI Gted with great care
heT-og, surnamed the Black Crook. was
delneated with all the force imaginable
though Mr.. Hill lacked the voice requisite
to make the part complete, but, under the
circumstances, he deserves considerable
praise. Rnd5oph, as played by Mr.. Ellis,
was given ii his characteristic manner. Civ
ing force and expression to all his words: he
delighted the audience by his manly and
courtiy bearing. Mr. James Collins, as
GrePpa. the Black Crook drudge. was one
of the most comic PORTE ais that has ever
been performed in this city. The talent dis
played by this artist gives token of success.
He has all original style which can not fail
to elicit applause from all who witness the
display CT his merits.
There are not enough words in the Eng
lish vocabulary to express or to give an idea
Of the effect of grandeur produced by the
gorgeous scenery last evening. Never have
eyes witnessed such a spectacle as Straus'
transformation scene. 1t was beautiful and
eloquent in the highest sense OF the term.
The coryphees did their best. Miss Ida
DeNere plainly showed that So coun,e-
Danced 10 rival. The rest did their parts in
the usual manner Mile R"nfanti needs
no praise. She has accomplished the
most difficult feats known to the profession
Professor Davis and his dogs elected the
Just amount OF applause due them.
The piece will lee repeated this evening,
with a change OF programme. The bitches
and delays. which usually accompany the
first production Of q spectacular play, will
be removed, and the audience will, without
doubt, pass one Of the most pleasant eve
nings possible.
