Tones Bayou.
At meeting of the board of directors of
the Cotton Exchange, held at the Exchange
room last night, the following dispatches
were read:
NEW ORLEANS, October 80, 1875.
y. h. Jordan:
How much money will your people and
railway give to build low water dam in
Tones bayoul Post us about the water.
JOSEPH A. AIKEN.
New ORLEANS, November 2, 1875.
J. H. Jordan:
See Captain Robson and ascertain how
quick Tones bayou can be closed by low
water dam. We will furnish empty ascks
and 100 men and all equipments. How
much will Shreveport contributed Quick,
JOSEPH A. AIKEN.
The subject of closing the bayou was dis.
cussed at length, when Mr.. E. L. Dennis
moved that the president appoint q COM
mittee of three to visit our citizens and
solicit subscriptions for this work, which
was unanimously adopted. The president
then appointed P w. II Cumming, C, w.
Burt and SD. Ward.
These gentlemen will call on our citizens
to-day, and 1t is to be hOpsd that they will
respOnd to the extent Of their means. A
low water dam in Tones bayou would
throw all the water down the main river
and afford rs fair low water navigation the
year round. As it is now four-ffths of the
water goes out In Tones bayou, nearly ali
OF which is wasted in the swsmps of Bayou
Pierre, and but little of it finds its way
back to the main river through Bayou

The city Council Candidates.

The Democrats have made several nomina-
tlons for the City Council, and those of the Re-
publicans will be made within the next ten days
We urge upon Republicans the vital Importance
OF selecting good and strong men. 1t is well
kaown that the Democats have had hopes of OBJ
tanning control of the next Council. They need
to elect Only five new members in order to OBJ
tam majority, as they already have six men,
bers holding over. So great has been their CON
fidence that they have arranged " slate" of Of
ticers to be elected by their majolity-when they
get it, Mr.. Councilman McIntire, the story goes.
i7 to be Chief Engineer of the Water Works, and
Mr. Councilman Taylor Registrar. The Auditor
ship was offered to Squire o'Neill as bonus to
secure his support Of Whiteley
But the majority of the next Council Is not
yet determined. The people have their own
say about that, no matter what "slates" NAV be
liked up. If the Republicans nominate unex-
ceptonable candidates in the Wards, there will
be no Democratic majority in Council. Further
more, the placing of such men on the Ward tick
cts will greatly assist the election of the general
ticket

The Destruciion OF the Parthcuon

Those interested in ancient historical relics
will be sorry to learn that the Parthenon at
Athens is being shockingly wrecked and
ruined. Tourists every season visit it, knock
of limbs of statues, pull down portions of the
frieze which Lord Elgin tleft, and clambering
up with hammer or stone, break off bits Of
the Doric capitals. These capitals. it will be
remembered, are painted with rows of leaves,
which are Isupposed to be bent double under
the weight of the architrave, and relic.hunt :
ers seem to be especially fond of chipping
this portion Of the masonry. Not fortnight
ago tourist knocked off the fiuger OF one OF
the finest statues, as he wished to add to his
private collection of curiosties at New York.
The Greeks have determined to protect the
building as much as possible and to store up
IN safe place the most interesting and val
liable OF the fragments of sculpture which lie
all over the place, exposed to rude winds,
and men more savage still than they" They
have almost completed museum at the back
OF the Acropolis but the work has come to a
standstill for lack of money. This fact has
only to become known among artists and art
lovers in this country, and doubtless i'm
mediate steps will be taken to preserve that
noblest remnant Of Greece in her gory-the

Won BANDEL AND THE HERMANN M0NU
MENT.

A life work which reads like romance is that
which has just been consummated in the inau-
guration of the colossal statue to Hermann, the
ancient German soldier and liberator, at Groten-
burg. So it is that one mans labor, self denial
and disappointment constitute pleasurable ro.
nance for his fellows. Nothing SO agreeably
titilates our sympathies as pain-experienced by
others. The Tragedy and the Novel are built
upon this queer slant in human nature, for with
out the element of suffering, and the enjoyment
Of suffering, those social agencies which fill so
large place in the world would cease to exist
just 30 Herr Von Bandel, who has finished his
statue Of Hermann, has furnished by his thirty
seven years of toll. doubt and Encouragement, a
theme for qualification and applause. Neglected
utterly lost sight OF for a decade at a time. the
artist wrought on under the most depressing in
tluences it is possible to conceive, and his work
is made at the end the occasion of national fes-
tival. Happily the brave workerl lived to see the
day of bis triumph, though it might easily have
been otherwise. But now the presence of roy
atty and nobility, Of military aud vast crowds of
citizens, the personal congratulations Of the EN-
peror, the enthusiastic praise of the newspapers,
are honors laid before the old artist who for
nearly forty years toied at his forge, or begged
for help to carry on the work, while few gave
him heed.
The work itself is one of the wonders of art.
1t is statue of copper, several times larger than
any statue in the world being 80 feet in height.
This colossal figure is in 200 pieces, and was all
beaten by hand, much of it by Won Bandel him
self The figure stands with uplifted arm bear
ing sword, aud the sword weighs HOO pounds
and is "A feet in length. The statue entire
weighs II tons. 1t is placed on gothic base Of
pillars surmounted by dome. This structure
is SO feet high, making the total height of the
monument 1888 feet, far out-towering the trees OF
the mountain top on which it is placed Her
mann, or Armin, lived 1900 years ago, but great
as is the lapse between that age and this the
German annals give complete history of his
life and services. He was the Saviour of Ger
many, the man who defeated the Roman ty.
rants and who succeeded in regenerating and
consolidating the Tentonic races, placing them
in the line of progress which they have kept tc
this day without break or serious disaster 1t is
strange that we know all about the life of a man
who lived before the Christian era, while of
Shakespeare who lived but 800 years ago, We
know so little that it is nov debated whether
Shakespeare was written by the person whose
name it bears
Whether the Hermann statue s ANYTHING bu
colossal-whether or not it is true work q
art-the critics have not yet told u.s. but we a
least know its maker as an exemplar not onl,
to Germany but to all the world Men will b,
indeed tickle if the name of Won Bandel doe
not long stand as reminder of uuhinchin,
courage and tenacious strength of purpose

The Secretary of the winnebago County Agr

The Secretary of the Winnebago County Agr
cultural Society OF Illinois must be simpleton
Arrangements for the Societys fair being in
progress, he took the liberty of inviting, on hit
own responsibility, an orator to deliver the an.
nual address, and seected-of all men in this
neither world MIR. Jefferson Davis, former
President of the Southern Confederacy." Was
anything ever more absurd Davis is no au-
thority on agriculture, and his selection, if there
had never been a war, would not have been
thought of the reason why the Secretary asked
him was of course because he had been the fig
ure head of the Rebellion. However, the an.
houhcenent OF the invitation caused great
fnmpns' and 1T will be. no doubt, cancelled.
Tho people of Winnebago do not propose to
