A MUD-LUMP OF THIRTY ACRES NOW
FORMING AT PASs-A'LOUTRE.

| At the outer crest of the bar at Pass-a.
rOntre there is now in process of elevation
and formation a mud-lump island. which
above the surface, and much of it is six OF
seven feet above the surface Of the water. No
| such extensive area has ever been known to
have been lifted by mud Jumps before. Ris-
ings to the extent Of half an acre, or even one
or two acres, have occurred before. The ele-
waiting force seems nearly to have exhausted
itself, and the island is now nearly complete.
It was formed in about thirty hours.
1t is the most interesting phenomenon to
men of science that has occurred lately, and
on the ground and noted the whole process
from its beginning. Lieut.. Davis, of the
Engineers, with his capable assistants, have
noted every feature of the phenomenon.
The elevation began slowly behind some old
niurated mud Jumps and extended into ten
and twelve feet water.
1t did not lit up the old Jumps, which ap-
peared to be too hard and deeply rooted to be
moved, bu. like the flow of volcanic lava, or
m ore properly like the flow Of metals under
tremendous pressure, the siff mud yielded
in a thick layer up the sides, and over the
top Of the old lump. III one instance, as
proof Of the powerful pressure, a sixteen
inch cotton wood stake, which was so jammed
that it could not be moved by the moving
mass Of mud, was broken square off, and one
part was carried away with the mud in sort
of glacial movement.
Ianumertble gas springs are spouting from
the surface and immense quantities Of gas are
being evolved. AS yet. the surface is too soft
to venture upon, and Lieut.. Davis is waiting
for the ground to harden before attempting to
explore this new addition to our dominion.
Or all the wonders Of tire Mississippi, this
pheacmenon Of the mud Jumps at its mouth
is its special peculiarly.
No other river OF the world has them; they
We're long since called the evil genius Of the
Mississippi; biologists, chemists, philoso-
piers and scientists Of ali kinds, have been
ia despair
Our own philosophers have hundred
theories. One of them suggests what may be
the true Cause, that the mouths OF the Missis-
sippi have encroached on an area under
which lies an immense basin Of petroleum,
lying very deep; and that the gas from it,
which may quietly point its way out through
the silt Of the deep sea, becoming confined
by the Mississippi deposits and accumulations,
forces up the mud Jumps until they rise even
above the surface, when they break and the
gas escapes
Not less than $780, 900 tons power would be
required to lift up the present island; perhaps
far more to break it from its fastenings and
force it seven feet out Of water.
These mud Jumps occur in all the Passes
cxcep. the South Pass, upon which Capt.
Eads is to operate. No trace Of mud lump
has ever been found there; this is one Of the
strongest guarantees that the jetty system
will succeed in that Pass.

Think Of fires being pleasant and almost
necessary in New Orleans on the 4th Of May
The poet who wrote about "Winter lingering
in tho lap OF Spring" had evidently expe-
rienced some such season as this, but We are
bound to say that the spectacle of the hoary
headed old fellow sitting and lingering so
long is calculated to bring up visions Of the
venerable Susan A. sitting on the lap Of the
gushing Triton. We greatly fear this Brook
Ign matter is having its influence upon the
very seasons.

We are indebted to our talented young
friend. Mr.. Alex. Debrunner. civil engineer
Of this city, for copy Of his very neat little
map of old New Orleans. 1t is a copy and
translation from the original Spanish plan
dated 1885, showing the city Of New Orleans,
its Notifications and environs, aud adjacent
plantations, compiled in accordance with an
ordinance of the Illustrious Ministry and
Royal Charter, December 81, 1898.
The map is very neatly executed, and is
decidedly useful and interesting for reference
From it We learn that the place now occupied
by us was formerly on the land Of John Ora
vier, part Of the plantation Of the Jesuits con-
fscated through his very Christian Majesty.
Copies Of the map may be purchased for
twenty five cents.

HARD MONEY PLATFORM ADOPTED.


SYRACUSE, September 1.-THE Conven-

The Democratic party of New York re.
new their pledge OF fidelity to the principles
adopted and affirmed unanimously by the
delegates representing the Democrats of all
the United States together assembled in their
latest National Convention, and rcSftirmed
and endorsed by Democratic mljorities in
| fifteen States. comprising more than oDe-half
the total population of the Uniou. >
| seventh. The public credit must he sa-
credly maintaiocd; we deuounce the repu-
dstion in every form and guse. [Applause.]
Eighth. A speedy return to specie-pay-
ment is demanded alike by the highest con.
| siderations Of commercial morality and hon.
est government. [Applause To these au.
! theutc declarations Of Democratic principles
and policy the times give proof. The present
| depression Of business is caused by toe reac.
| ton from the unhealthy stimulus Of an excess
sivc, Deprecated, and irredeemable currency ;
| by enormous and illegal municipal, State,
aud Federal taxation, and by cXtravaganca.
wsSte. and speculation in the administration
Of public Affairs. The remedy for this evil
| is not TO be found In the renewal OF any oil
the causes. In face Of the fact that the OK.
istiug volume OF currency is greater than
can be absorbed by business; in face of the
fact that the recent fall Of prices was followed
by repeated iufl.tons. any attempt to increase
the currency would be worse than Intellectual
TO revive prosperity, for it would Interrupt
a healing process OF Industry; it would DC
worse than futile to restore confidence. foi
it would create dis'rust and new uncertainty
in business, paralyZing the beginning OF en-
terprise, ROB luOor of its deserts, and. while
slll.ug the progress Of legislative reforms,
would inflict lasting dshonor upon the credit
the intelligence, and the character of the
country.

troler, Lucius Robinson; Attorney. Gene
