NEW ORLEANS A. A SAFE MARBOR

The New Orleans Times claims that
New Orleans is the only safe harbor for
vessels having business IN the Gulf. 1t
says that, because of the low surface Of
the Texas coast dreadful storms are liza
bic to come upon towns and shipping
almost every year with the same disas-
trous results, and says that nothing short
Of dyking will save the cities and
towns, but that the shipping will
always remain exposed to The influences
Of the fierce cyclones. This being the
ease, 1t argues that New Orleans will, by
reason OF It's natural harbor advantages,
become the port OF the Gulf, where ships
will hunt for shelter ami protection while
on our coast. The argument is good
one, and when Eads succeeds
land Cowden says he never
willy, we may expect to see the vanished
prosperity and splcndors OF the Crescent
City return to her tcn-fold. She has
nothing to fear FROM Mobile, and ono
more storm like the last will forever dc.
stroy the prospects Of the Island City.

BURG.

The Mississippi river at Vicksburg
makes great turn, forming q long loop.
Travelling up the river In boat you pass
Vicksburg and steam for miles around an
abrupt point, and arc soon again directly
opposite the city. The nearest route
across the neck Of land separating the
waters Of the river has been reduced to
about $50 feet, and 1t Is slowly, but sure
ly. narrowing, and unless checked, cut
of will be formed which will leave Vicks-
burg on lake two miles from the river.
In view Of this the Vicksburg Herald,
with commendablc enterprise, has pub
lished map showing the river In It's
actual condition and the danger that
threatens the city. The menaced portion
Of the peninsula Is where General Grant
commenced the excavation Of canal
through the narrow slip.
