A PROPENSITY FOR THEFT.
(ET. Mail)

The military degradation Of LieutenAnt
Maurin, who has been sentenced to ten
years penal servitude for nine robberies,
one of which was aggravated by house,
breaking, took place on November 90 at
Toulon. The convict is described as q tall,
finely built, handsome man of GO. His
military antecedents are highly honorable.
He was promoted from the ranks for bis
heroic conduct at Woerth and Wissem-
bourg. but he seems to have been, as
thievish as a magpie, stealing money,
trinkets, spoons, forks, pipes, s~nuff-boxes.
and cigars, whenever he had an opportu-
nifty, and boarding them in his quarters.
Before the trial he twice attempted to-
escape from Forts Care and Lamarque,
and dislocated his ankle in jumping from
a wall. Being unable to walk, he was
carried into the barrack yard for degrade
ton. A sergeant tore off his epaulettes.
Being popular in the regiment, his com.
rades were most painfully affected = his
sword was broken. No private o~ffereotv
kick him, but when handed over 70 the
civil authorities, the gendarmes, after
slipping on the haudcuffs, dragged him
along to prison.

ing to create an anti-English excitement
in Paris, which may easily be carried to
lnjndicious lengths. Nothing could be
more ill,judged, or wasteful in the inter-
estS of France herself. NJ. Lemoinne NAV
rely upon 1t, that while this country upon
all Aslatic questions must and will take. q
course of her Own, guided only by her con-
science and her interests, ms Indifferent to
friendships as to menaces, she is neverthee
less the firm friend of the French people,
r%eioices in the immense prosperity of
France, and if it were conceivably possible
that diplomacy could restore Lorraine to
France, would be enthusiastic for the pro-
Jest. That she failed France in her hour
OF need may be true, as it may also be true
that the failure was unavoidable, but the
way to make her repent is not to Aaunt
her with " cynicism " for a change of poll
cy forced on her by the hopeless folly Of
her former ally and the disruption of all
European alliances. Would France help
us to defend the Turkish Empire ? Not q
bit oft. NJ. Lemoinne says he never be-
lieved in Turkey. Well, England has come
round to his opinion, and is shaping her
policy at last on the basis of his Thoughts
Is it for that reason that M. Lemoinne, the
spokesman of the Moderate politicians Of
France, d~enounces her policy as cynical,
selfish, and unprincipled In deciding
that Egypt must remain as Egypt now is,
Independent ofany European Power, whom
is England betraying2
We do not know that the sentence is
worth adding, but we may add that there
is no reason to believe that Mr.. DisraeIi's
action will offend any Power, except per-
haps France and Turkey. The "Imperial
Powers" whatever their designs or what
ever their innocence, must long nave known.
that whenever Turkey was shaking, Eng.
gland, whether she protected Turkey or not
would protect the Suez Canal, and beyond
the natural commotion which follows any
serious and dramatic coup, we expect no
consequences from an act which merely
announces that England takes the course
which every man of foresight in Europe
knew that sooner or later she would. be-
compelled to take. We expect the most
serious protest to come from M. de Lesseps,
who, always disinterested and always
patriotic, may not find in the now assured
solvency ofhis great enterprise sufficient
compensation for the extinction of his
dreams.

The RAILROAD.

The formal transfer of the Vicksburg and
Shreveport railroad to Maj. Green, Re-
ceiver. took place last week, thus terminal
ing, after several years of litigation, the
control of Ludeling Il Associates over this
important thorouehfare. The road will be
operated hereafter, until Il sale is effected,
by the Receiver. Nothing has TRANSFERRED
to enable us to form oven a conjecture when
this sale will DO effected. The legal delays
witch Ludeting & Associates may place in
tho way of II sale may postpone it indeti-
nitefy.
e. Tho receipts of the road at present are
merely nominal, owing to the fact that sew
eral miles of the road east OF Delhi arc IN =
der water, in some places waist-dcep. Tho
mails, however, and passengers are trans
ported daily over the road by means OF
skif1s and pusl-c:rs in the overlooked Sec
ton.
AS Il measure of economy, Maj. Green has
dispensed with tho services of several OF the
employees of the road, among them Mr.. j.
II. McGuirc, who is engaged in arranging
4 the affairs of tho company lately in possess
sion. His place is taken by Mr.. j. Fl. Mil
ling Mr.. Reinbo1d has charge of the road
during the temporary absence of Maj. Green
who has returned to Georgia to settle up his
business with the road there of which he
recently Superintendent. He will be
back, we learn IL about ton days.

The Mississip11I Je11;e,-

The plan Of Capt. Eatls for increasing the
depth of the Mississippi by means of a jetty
which is simply 81 long mil, trace-is thus
described by the st. Louis Republican:
The jetties are made Of willow twigs. 1t
may seem anod proposition at first thought
that the untold hydraulic forces OF the
mightiest river in the world are to be
But why not i? Many "a human viii which
i'll n,ature life has perceptibIy influenced
the current of events has, in earlier years,
been subj ected by willow twigs, and cor
tainly ii these agencies are potent enough
to control the human will, they ought to
be powerful enough to control other things
when they have II mind and will to assist
them. The first thing is to cut the twigs.
They are then bound into bundles, called
in engineering parlanre ''fhscines:" These
faciness are say eight ten feet i'll length
and as many inches in diameter, though, of
course, their size is varied at the couven-
fence of the workmen and according to the
requirements of the work. Having been
cut and properly secured, the ftsciness
put together in the form of It raft. like TIM
Der logs, towed to the required spot, and
then loaded with stones until they sink to
the bottom. This process is repeated with
| successive rats until Il continuous founda-
ton is laid the entire length OF the proposed
line OF jettics. The first foundation RATS
Will be from seVcnty-five to two hundred
feet in width. according to the depth OF
the water where they arc sunk, tho deepest
water requiring the widest RATS. AS soon
ats the foundation is completed in this
manner another line of willow RATS, IS sunk
| on top of those already down, and so on
until the surface of the water is reached
| each line of RATS being narrower than the
one below it until the topmost line will not
| be more than ten feet ACROSS.
| BY this means Il channel is created Will,

] up tho interSticcs between the tWi"S with
sand and sediment, and in the course of a
few Years the structure becomes as solid as
wall. being i'll fiict.si submarine levec. 1t
will readily be seen that an almost incalcu-
| liable quantity OF willow twi;ss will b,
