THE CALAMITY UDERESTIMATED.

We have been permitted to use the fol
lowing letter:
PoINTE COUPEE, April 26, 1874.
Capt. T. P, feathers:
Dear Sir-The engineers who have visited
the Morgan crevasse have egregiOusly de-
ceived themselves, and may be the means
of deceiving many people by iulling them
into security. They say "not one tenth of
the water passes through the Morgan Gre
vase that did through Grand Levee when
it last broke"
This is fatal mistake. Morgan's levee
is connecting link between Grand and
Morganza levees, and it is, in fact, a part
of Grand levee 1t averages from IA to Is
feet high, and the crevasse is one mile wide.
Just imaS inc stream of water one mile
wide and fourteen feet in depth constantly
flowing into this and the parishes in the in
terror, and you can estimate the damage.
Besides this, tho Morrison, Robinson, Here
ford and Hickey crevasses of themselves
would be sufficient to drown out half the
country.
Tell the people in the interior to prepare
themselves for the worst, and not to be de-
In led by false hope.
Their only solution is in the speedy fall of
the river. The break III Morgan's levee oc-
cured three-quarters of q mile from Grand
Levee. 1t is now only four arpents of, and
crumbling daily. write this for the benc-
fit of my friends in the interior and the
people generally.
Yours truly, +. l.. CLAIBORNE.

PRICE-FIVE CENTS
Disinfectants.

Col. J. NJ. Sandidge, Henry Seixas and El
A. Burke, committee from the Chamber of
Commerce, waited upon the Mayor and AIDE
ministrators at II o'clock on Monday, pur-
suant to resolutions of the Chamber, urging
payments by the city for disintectants pur-
chased by the Board Of Health last season,
and earnestly recommending the liberal
adoption of disnfectants as a preventive of
yellow fever epidemic. Col. Sandidge
presented the views of the Chamber, calling
attention to the vast injury sustained by
our commerce, resulting from the general
apprehension caused by fear of yellow fever,
and claimed that the efforts Of the Admins
traitors to allay these fears by the practical
application Of policy which had accom-
plished so much good here and in other
cities, would win the grateful acknowledge
ments of the whole people.
The Colonel also alluded to the financial
embarrassments of the city government, but
hoped that in matter of such vital mo-
ment they would not hesitate to act but
would, if possible, still further, advance
the sanitary condition OF the city, by ar
ranging for the flow of fresh water through
the streets.
Mayor Wilt, Oh behalf of the Admins
traitors, assured the committee that this
subject already had the attention of the
Administrators. Proposals were being in
vite1 for disinfectants and all of the men,
bers were in favor of supplying such guam
tity and quality as the Board of Health should
recommend, they merely insisted that they
should have check upon the purchases,
and be consulted as to expenditures, which
was not the case with the purchases by the
Board of Health last season. Bills for
SIG 600 were sent in for payment which
were not ordered by the city. The amount
was considered exorbitant, hence objection
to payment, but the claim was now in pro-
cess of adjustment.
The committee explained that the Cham
Der did not desire to be understood as inter
fering in the settlement of past bills, but
supposed the objection to payment was on
account of the dsapproval of the Admins
traitors of the policy of disinfecting.

an error, attributable to one of your con

Odd Fellows Hall was well filed last
bled to witness the ceremonies of the Odd
Fellows celebration, which were most. i'm
pressive and interesting.
The eminent success of this Order in the
United States has been very great. Since
1919, when the first Lodge was established,
the increase has been surprising.
The benevolent purpose for which this
order was formed commend it to the char
table; and the social principle of the
brotherhood carried ont in their intercourse
between one another makes it attractive to
all those who appreciate the advantages of
true friendship.
The celebration of the fifty-ffth anniver-
sary last evening was characteristic for its
judciOus and happy management.
The entertainment began with a series of
literary exercises, in which much elOquence
and erudition was displayed by the gentle
men to whom was entrusted the care of do
ing the honors of the evening.
The programme was as follows:
First, music Then came the introduce
tory Grafton by the Most Worthy Grand
Master, Silas L. Grisamore. Next came
the following ode, in the singing of
WHICH the audience, composed OF some 2UVu
people, heartily joined.

Living still beyond the tomb.
In the above lines are found an express
sion of the true and beautiful principles of
Odd Fellowship.
With music during the intervals, the
Past Grand Master, J. E. Rengstortf, delv-
cred an address in German, and the Right
Worthy Grand Representative to the Grand
Lodge of the United States from the State
of louisiana Mr.. John r. rompkins, spoke
an Grafton. Both of these performances
were chefs deurres of erudition and learn
ing
The literary prelude closed with the sing
ing of an ode, and then the chairs were re-
moved and room Yves made for the dancing.
4 large supply Of choice refreshments was
provided tor all, and the various lodges
were thrown open for the inspection of
those interested.
