The River and the Levees.

| The river has not fallen-quite the con
trary, it is now six inches above high water
mark, and evidently not inclined to fall i'm
| mediately.
The levee along our city front still sus
| tains the pressure as for several days past
| but it is natural to suppose that the banks
can not resist much more weight. Or keep a
further rise from flowing over.
AT the head of Canal street the aspect is
not encouraging, for water is over the
wood wharf.
There is an improvement opposite Jack
son square, and all leaks in that neighbor-
hood have been stopped.
Administrator Lewis yesterday requested
Surveyor Bell to furnish him report con-
corning the levee in this vicinity, which
brought the following:
Hon. James Lewis, Administrator of Improve
DEAR SIR-In answer to your communica-
ton of this date, requesting report of the
condition of the levees front and rear of
the city, have to inform you that the river
levees from the Slaughterhouse to Camp
Parapet are being constantly guarded, and
have been strengthened at many points;
they will carry an additional rise of one
foot
The rear protection levees, nineteen miles
in length, are in good condition, and are
eighteen inches above the high water mark
of 1871, caused by the Bonnet Care ere
vase, and which exceeded the hurricane
mark of 1881 by five and a half inches.
Upon hearing OF the break in the levee at
Bonnet Care, several days since, detailed
an additional force to guard night and day
the rear levees.
At Verret street, Algers, water flowed
over in uncomfortable quantities, but at
noon, yesterday, the superln tendent had
succeeded in raising the bank sufficient to
remedy the evil.
The Bonnet Care crevasse has grown
into such dimensions as 20 be beyond con-
wide
Water from this break is now over the
jackson railroad track and ia running into
Lake Pontchartrain. The volume is so
great and increasing that it is dangerous for
trains to pass there any more, and to-day it
is likely that the company will be compelled
to make connections by boat on the lake,
by way of Pass Manchac. Yesterdays
trains made trips without accident. The
connection by the lake route will be the
same as in the year 1871.
At Carrollton and kenner the situation is
from that already reported. |
Still the danger is great and the people ex- |
press themselves as greatly alarmed at the |
,roSnect.

Mime. ParQue.

Nine. E. C. L. Parque, Of Gonaives, Hayti
the negro woman eloquent. delivered an
address Saturday night at St. James Chapel
on Roman street, on a subject entitled s.The
Negro Past, Present and Future" 1t was
an able discourse, delivered in style that
would do honor to the ablest of female
speakers. She has been for some years in
this country, working for the elevation and
| good of her race. She claimed for the
negro an honorable position among the
races of men, and an origin dating back
many years before Christ, when Ethiopia,
! peopled by the African race, descending
| from the country of the Nile, was found by
| the Egyptians, with large and civilized
| classes, with houses and cities built, with
established governments and laws and with
knowledge of arts and sciences. as proved
by monuments and hieroglyphics existing
She believed the Ethiopian to have de-
scended from Cush, son Of Ham. and cited
many illustrious men of her race. among
them Hannibal, who stood before the gates
of Rome victorious general 200 years be-
fore the Christian era. This for the past.
She believed the negro worthy Of mention
side by side with the Anglo-Saxon race, in
point of courage, and spoke eloquently of
Touissant L'Ouverture: of his heroism in
the bloody days of San Domingo, in 1871: of
his capture by Rochambeau; his long i'm
prisonment in France, and death in the
dungeon of Joux, on the river Daubs.
In the American revolution she claimed
for Crispus Attacks, black man, who was
killed in the streets of Boston, in l77O, that
he was the first martyr to fall in the cause
of American liberty.
The negroes of the present. she said, were
better known. They had seltmade men
among them; learned men and eloquent,
like Frederick Douglass.
Her remarks were not in boastful vein.
nor calculated to place the negro above mis-
merits; but were for the encouragement
and enlightenment of her people. Much had
been done for them. They were free men
and women. Much more remained for them
to do tor themselves. They needed educa-
ton; they needed unity OF thought and pur.
pose looking to their own intellectual adj
FduceiuSut.
For herself. she saw glorious work to do
in Africa. What the white missionaries
have failed to accomplish it was left for her
people to do-to Christianize the wonderful
land of central Africa. and reap the benefits
Of its new development.
Madame Parque is most remarkable
natural orator, and expresses herself in ex-
cellent language. She has been called the
rival Of Anna Dickinson, and when thor.
