THE MESSAGE
A BeaatifuI Answer.

When the Emperor of Germany was
lately on visit in a distant portion o
his dominions, he was welcomed by the
school children of the village. After
their speaker had made a speech fol
him he thanked them. Then taking an
orange from plate, he asked:.
ITO what Kingdom does this belong"
"ro the vegetable Kingdom, sir" re-
piled the little girl.
The Emperor took gold coin from Mi
pocket, and holding it up, asked:
Sand to what kingdom does this be
longw
40 the mineral kingdom, sir" lepllet
the little girl.
"And to what kingdom do belong
thenT asked the emperor.
The little girl colored deeply, for sh'
did not like to say "the animal king
DOM" as he thought she would, lest hi
majesty should be offended; when :
bright thought came, and she said, witt
radiant eyes:
"To Gods kingdom, sir"
The emperor was deeply moved. 4
tear stood in his eye. He placed hi
hand on the child'e head, and said mos
devoutly:
"Grant that may be accounted wol
thy OF that kingdom"

1t is not everybody who knows where
to joke, or when, or how; and whoever
is ignorant of these condition had better
not joke at all. A gentleman never at
tempts to be humorous at the expense OF
people with whom he is but slightly ac-
quainted. In fact, it is neither good
manners nor wise policy to joke at any
body's expense; that is to say, to make
anybody uncomfortable merely to raise
a laugh. Old Esop, who was doubtless
the subject of many jibe on account OF
his bumped back, tells the whole story
in his fable of "The Boys and the Frogs"
What was fun to the youngsters was
death to the croakers.
A jest may cut deeper than a curse.
Some men are SO constituted that they
can not take friendly joke In the same
light coin, and will requite it with con-
tumely and insult. Never banter one of
this class, or he will brood over your
badinage long after you have forgotten
it, and it is not prudent to incur any
ones enmity for the sake OF uttering a
smart double entendre or smart repair
tee. Ridicule, at best, Is a perilous
weapon. Satire, however, when leveled
at social foibles and political evils, il
not only legitimate, but commendable
1t has shamed down more abuses than
were ever abolished by force of logic.

A story is told that very small boy,
not more than four years of age, was
once sent up a chimney In country
house AZ Bridlington, York shire, and that
he tumbled down and urt himself 80
severely that the young ladies of the
house took HIM from his master and
nursed him themselves. Some food was
brought to him, and seeing a silver fork,
he was quite delighted, eXclaiming,
s'Papa had such forks as those" He
also said that the carpet in the drawing
room was like "papa's," and, when a
silver watch was shown to him, he de-
clared that ''papa's" was gold one.. At
night he would not 60 to bed until he had
said the LORDS prayer, which he knew
perfectly, and he lay awake for some
hours comparing the furniture in the
room to that in his own home. When he
was asked how he came to leave his
papa, he said that he was gathering
flowers in his mothers garden, and that
a woman came in and asked him II he
liked riding. He said "yes," and she
told him that he should ride with her.
She put him on horse in lane near by,
drove with him to the seaside, and car
ried him on board vessel.
The story does not tell what became of
the little fellow afterward, and we can
only hope that he was restored to his
parents, or that the young ladies at the
country house adopted him.

DEPTH OF WATER AT SOUTH PASS,

In the New York Times of the Cd inst. W,
find quite lengthy account Of the consulta
ton of engineers at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
called to consider Capt. Eads's plans for i'm
proving the mouths of the Mississippi. Mos
of what occurred has already been published
and the public is familiar with all the details
! of the plans, bat the following remarks of the
Times we reproduce, in order to correct a
misapprehension out of which has grown con-
siderable discussion, and the publication of a
wager concerning the depth of water at South
Pass. The Tines says
Maps and plans were submitted by Capt
Eads showing the soundings at various points
along the river and in the harbor. The atten-
ton at the board was chiefly directed to the
consideration of the recent surveys of the
southern pass Of the Mississippi River by H.
L. Merinden, which have been executed in
very satisfactory manner.
Such is the confidence Capt Eads has in
the success of his plan that he has under
taken to incur large expense at his own risk
in accordance with the terms of the contract
entered into with the government The
work was commenced on June IA last, and
the progress which has been since made has
been such as to justify the hopes expressed
by Capt Eads, that before next Spring vessels
of the heaviest tonnage can enter the mouth
of the Mississippi The depth of water on
the bar of the South Pass, which had been
formerly only seven feet, is now reported to be
nearly fourteen feet.
We are informed by Mr.. Bayley. superin-
tending engineer, that there has never been
any authorized statement concerning any
increased depth of water on the bar at South
Pass; that, as only one of the jetties has
been pushed any distance out and the other
had only been begun, it was a matter of i'm
possibility for any increase of depth upon
the bar proper, but that the channel opposite
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-09-07

the two inner or shore ends of the two un-
completed jetties has deepened percepibly.
MI. Bayley states that some correspondent
of Western papers had written letter claim
ing an increase of water on the bar, but that
the statement was totally unauthorized and in
correct, having been based merely upon the
say so of the captain Of q schooner who had
crossed the bar and fanced he found more
water than usual. When the jetties are SO
far completed as to concentrate the water
upon the bar, then the depth of water must
increase or Captain Eads will fail.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The regular monthly meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce was held last night. Col
NJ Sandidge, in the absence of the Presiden
and Vice Presidents, wss called to the chair
Mr.. F. Dolhonde offered the following reso
luton
| Resolued, That the President proceed to fill
the vacancies occasioned by the discharge OF
committee appointed to take into consider
| alton and report upon the propriety of chang.
| ing the tare allowed on packages containing
Louisiana sugars and the said committee be
instructed to report at the next meeting OF
this Chamber.
Mr.. Dolhonde spoke in favor of the resolu-
ton. He said that the present tare, ten per
cent, was not enough; that twelve per cent
would be no more than fair If this was not
satisfactory, let the planter have actual tare.
The resolution was adopted.
Vice President w. G. Raymond took the
chair and appointed the following named gen.
tlemen as the committee: F. Dolhonde, chair.
man; J. NJ. Putnam, L. j. Highly, Jules Val
rim. r. S. Hickey.
Mr.. Jno. Seixas thought that increasing
the tare would not remedy the evil In his
dealings in sugar, he had found hogsheads
with slaves and heads so thick that there
could be no doubt of intention of ffaud. He
thought that the only relief would be Legisla.
tive action, making it compulsory on the
planter to weigh the hogshead before filling
it, and brand the weight on the head, AID
have heavy penalty fixed for violation or for
false branding.
MIR. Jas. Putnam, in business connection
win the planters for many years, had found
them honorable gentlemen, and he did not
think that they were, in a majority of in
stances, to blame, They bought their hogs
heads and these hogsheads were made by
men who had no idea of commercial business,
and who, to save themselves trouble, and to
please the eye, made the slaves and heads
thick He thought the remedy was for the
Chamber to fix the size of the hogsheads, the
thickness of the slaves, etc.
Col. j. NJ. Sandidge, with few introduce
tory remarks, introduced the following:
RESOLVED, That tie Secretary OF this Cham
Der be instructed to call the attention of the
public press of New Orleans to the annual and
usually groundless reports circulated through
the codntry at this season of the year of the
existence of yellow fever in this city, to the
great detriment Of its business, with the re-
quest that mention be made of the fact that,
according to the report of the Board of
Health, New Orleans was never more healthy. |
MIR. Raymond said he thought the press
ought to publish daily the mortuary report,
and stop these reports.
The resolution was unanimously adopted. |
A motion TO adjourn prevailed.
