tennial year. 1t is also the year in which an OPP
position House of Representatives, the first since
the war, will be in power at Washington; and the

cially the two latter; and all of them and every

The Opposition House of Representatives, taxi
ing up the line Of inquiry opened years ago by
the Sun, will stcrnly and diligently investigate
tho corruptions and misdecds of Grants admins

dation for a new and better period in our nation
al history. Of all this the Sun will contain COM
plete and accurate accounts, furnishing its read
ers with early and trustworthy information upon
these absorbing topics.
The twenty-third presidential election, with

have the constant means of being thoroughly well
informed.

five to thirty inches by actual measure

causing the entire loss to owners of crOps
promising an average yield of sixty bushels
to the acre. This loss occurs in q territory
only sixteen miles long and lying in Scioto

creased by the entire destruction of the

west from Scioto the line of devastation
continues all the way to Columbus. Resi-
dents of the valley for fifty years say no
similar destruction of crops by an overflow
has ever occurred before. Tho river has

A railroad across the Atlantic is on the
list Of possibilities for the future achieve.
mont Of science. Many years ago civil
engineer read paper before the French
Academy suggesting submarine railways.
His theory was that at q certain depth of
the ocean-a hundred fathoms or more-far
below any agitation from surface storms,
the water is Of such density that nothing
in tubular form. whatever the weight can
possibly sink. Having thus made founda-
ton in the very bowels of old Neptune, he
proposed to sink continuous line of i'm
mense iron tubes-after the manner of the
recent cable laying-in which double track
railway could be laid between Cape Clear,
Ireland, and Cape Race, Newfoundland,
and thus trains 60 booming through, to the
CONSERVATION of the sea serpent and the
mortal terror of the big and little fishes.
The only really serious objection to his pro-
ject that the engineer of this deep sea
scheme could then see, was the suffocating
effects from the smoke Of the locomotive;
and if this could be overcome, then the
grand oceanic railway only required the
necessary construction capital to enter upon
its career of ''successfnl experiment" which
he duly figured out upon the profits Of the
ample traffic between the two worlds. Now,
the Aforesaid "ecientific objection" has
already disappeared in the smoke-corsum-
ing engine Of modern invention, to say
nothing of the "Keely motor" Can the
capital question be - easily solved Who
will form the company. and who will take
the shares s-Nesc York Express.

Tho Reliet Matinee.

A full house responded to the call of the
Variety Dramatic Club yesterday, when
was played at the Academy of Music the
drama called the 'Sea of Ice" for the bene-
fit of the Louisiana Relief Association The
front Of the house was we'll managed by an
attentive committee, who made themselves
more agreeable by presenting each child in
the audience picture book as & souvenir
of the occasion. The play. depending largely
on scenic effects, and not an easy one
for amateurs, was tolerably we'll acted.
Mr.. A. II. Llambias. as De Brionne, and
Mr.. 3. A. Michel, as De Laral, acted their
characters in manner appropriate and de-
serving of praise. The part best played
was that of Barabos, by Mr.. Isidore Dav-
idson. This gentleman is regarded as the
best amateur low comedian We have. He
has thus far been happily cast. and his
droll way Of portraying character puts
him at once into the good graces of an au-
dience. A handsome sum was realized for
the Relief Association.
Yesterday evening the Glee Club Of the
Variety Dramatic Club serenaded the yari-
Gus newspaper Offices including the REPUB-
LICAS.
The next performance by this club will
be on the twenty third instant, when "Un-
der the Gaslight" will be played.

News from the Interior.

From the Mansfield Reporter. July 81:
We are informed by Mr.. James Means, q
reliable planter in this parish, that his little
sons killed thirty-seven rattlesnakes clear
/. ing up a turnip patch On his place few
days eince, and it was not good day for
snakes either, nor is this favorable local
ity for such reptiles. We suppose there
must have been den of them in that vicin-
ity. as this species is becoming very rare in
this country.
A colored man named Poppey Edwards
was killed on the place of Mr.. Richardson,
planter, on Grand Cane in this parish, two
days ago. The verdict of the coroner's jury
was unjustifable killing with double
barrel gun in the hands of one John Will
liams, another colored man. Sheriff Sample
repaired to the place with posse of men as
soon as the killing was known, but the bird
had flown and is still at large.
Our citizens inside the corporation of
Mansfield are subscribing freely in cash to
the stock of tho Louisiana Pacific. Hon. j.
B. Elam and Captain 4. T. Carr head the
list 90 far with the heaviest figures, followed
by many who threaten to double their
figures if the road should strike our corpo-
ration limits
