Even as good old Solomon picked up items
of wisdom from ants and comics, which are 50
very little folk" 20 may our benefactors who
have como here to open the Great River learn
something from gentlemen who have been
studying the dynamics of the currents Of the
Mississippi for the best part Of their lives.
There being many particulars in which the
and forces of this stream differ from those OF
any other. that the study of any or all the
rest with close and long observation will still
leave many and important facts respecting
our river unknown to the most scientific
stranger. Some Of our citizens. engineers by
profession, have made themselves familiar
with the phenomena of the river by long per-
Bonal inspection, and they are, therefore, able
to know more of results and of the causes Of
such results than those who have verified their
theories by observations made elsewhere.
Many navigator has entered the passes of
the Mississippi, rejoicing in the belief that
the bottom was soft and in no wise dangerous,
to be brought to sudden and violent pause
by mud lump nearly as firm and almost as
damaging as q rock; SO too is there like dam
ger that self-reliant and bold undertakers
may fall upon unimagined obstacles which a
few hints from the experienced might have
pointed out
II permitted we would suggest to the gen.
flemen who are on the threshold of an under
taking of enormous Importance and cost, that
they avail themselves not only of the en-
Hghtened experience of scientific men, but
also of the practical knowledge of those whose
occupations have made them familiar with
the outlets of the river-such as intelligent
pilots. captains of coasters, steamers, and tug
boats, and fishermen. As long intimacy dis
closes personal habits, SO does a prolonged
acquaintance with the Mississippi render
these men familiar with its peculiarities

A Shin Girdled BY Waterspouts.
IN. Y. Mercury, I'd. ]

The Austrian ship Jennie, at this port from
Matanzas, under command Of Capt Gary,
narrowly escaped being swamped by several
immense waterspouts while off Cape Hatteras.
The Jennie left Matanzas on the 5th of lost
month, and in working out of the harbor col
lided with the brig Adele McGoon and had
her jib-boom, head-gear and anchor-stock
carried away. The fukes of the anchor were
driven through the starboard bow, and SO
large hole made through the vessel that she
was obliged to put bank for repa RS. The
collision detained her until the 18th of April,
when she sailed again. On Saturday, the
17lh of April, the Jennie was knocked on her
beam ends by another fearful gale, and on
that day and the following day she was nearly
surrounded by whirlwinds and waterspouts
which almost enguIfsd her.
The gale came from the north-northwest, The
officers of the vessel say these water-spouts
were the largest they had ever SEEN The
largest covered an area of half mile or more,
and were at least one thousand feet in height.
"They reached far up into the sky" said an
old salt, "and were there met by an inverted
cone, just like the other, which seemed to
have come down from the heavens to meet
it. They were described as tall columns,
apparently of mist or spray. but in reality
dense bodies of water, reaching from the sea
to the Clouds and moving along with great
rapidity before the wind. Sometimes they
were straight and at other times inclined, but
always whirling around with the rapidity of
the tiy-wheel OF an engine.
"How was the sea at the base of these
spouts?" asked the reporter of a mate. cit
was violently agitated, and the sight was ter
rible. The water rose with leaping or boil
ing motion, and was actually carried up all
around the spout and scattered about in con-
siderable quantities for great length, just in
the same way as heavy articles are served by
tornadoes on land"
How did you escape, then?" ''We broke
several by firing guns into them, the concus-
sion Of the air causing them to burst, when
they tumbled back into the sea with fearful
splash. The water was fairly white with
foam. There isn't a ship built that could
live minute if she ran into a water-spout,
for the falling of such an immense mass of
water would swamp her."
The Jennie was tossed about like feather,
Notwithstanding her heavy cargo Of sugar.
and but for the admirable presence of mind
of her captain and the GOODNESS of his mates
in the management of the vessel she would
have been destroyed by these water-spouts.

We notice very pertinent query put by a
correspondent of one of our contemporaries
Wednesday relative to our Park and the
tax levied for its maintenance. We submit
it is about time for our people to be in
formed of the advantages aocruing from a
prompt payment of said tax. We need q
park, and our taxpayers think they pay for
one, and they now simply desire to know
whether or not the money paid for that pur-
pose has ever been used for anything, and, if

not, why not? Those interested please re-

Governor d. II. Chamberlain, Of South Car

quet of the German Fusileers of Charleston
on Monday last, expressing the following
trustworthy sentiments: "Above all things,
trust your celebration will speak and enforce
the great present lesson and duty of political
aud social harmony between all the sections
Of our country, on the basis Of the settlements
which are now embodied in the Constitution
and laws of the nation.
upon that basis let new prosperity grow
up which shall cheer and bless all races and
conditions of men who dwell in South Caro-
lima. Political differences ought to be signif-
cant and valued only as they mark the greater
or less fidelity Of our parties to the common
purpose of making our government and
public service honest. patriotic, pure and ele-
waiting. Every man is my political friend
whose purpose is to give peace and prosper
ity to South Carolina. Every man is my
political foe who would, for any cause, stay
or turn back the returning tide which is bear
ing these blessings to our people,"

Ex-Secretary McCulloch writes to the New
York Tribune of the comparative military
strength of Germany and France, as fol-
| lows:
"Were the armies which are now in prepa-
ration for war disbanded, there would be no
breaches of the peace between nations and
there would speedily be no national debts. A
period of peace is especially needed by
France, and she would have that peace if she
dIsbanded her army. The Empire is peace,
was the remark of the Third Napoleon. What
blessing it would be to France, and to civil
ization everywhere, if she would now say
The Republic is peace, and verify the say
ing by following the example set by the
United States at the close of the late civil
war! If she should do so she would shame
every European nation into doing the same.
France is rich country, but there is a
limit to her wealth. She has high financial
credit, but there must be eventually an end of
her ability to borrow. United Germany, I'M
less her strength should be distracted by
ecclesiastical questions, which is not probable
for when the test is applied it will be found
that Catholic Germans are more German than
Catholic-United Germany, with her freedom
from debt and her full military chest, her
larger population and the greater submission
to discipline of her citizen soldiers, will al
ways be more than match for France in war;
France, indeed, has everything to lose and
nothing to gain by another contest with Ger
mary. AS military nation she is not equal
to Germany. but she is superior to Germany
in the excellence of her soil, the variety Of
its productions, and in the taste, the skin and
refinement of her people. The aim of France
should be to excel all nations in the arts of
peace. This she now does to great extent,
and she would do SO in still greater degree if
she would forget her triumphs under the
great Corsican, and get over the delusion
which she INDUCES that she must become
again the great war power of Europe.

The Russellville Democrat., 1875-09-09

It is easy to see blunder after it's results have been made mani fest, and no doubt the republican party will come out before the canvass of 1876, with some very sweet campaign promises on the Southern question. But of what value are campaign pledges from party on the brink of ruin, which has shown, during it's en- tire career, such gross incapabili- ty, such glaring abuse of power and such disregard for all former pledges. It is like the drowning man catching at straws. It may make fair promises when it sees that it is forced to it by the ire sistable tide of public opinion, but the people will be shy of all such campaign pledges.
 A party that has to be forced Tn to measures for the good of the country, and which has not the wisdom to lead that way until ruin and disaster stares the coun- try in the face, is not the party to accept on campaign promises.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-09-09

ATTENTION IMMIGRATION So- IETIEs.-The following offer and sensible advice from the Spirit of Arkansas, ought to meet with a ready acceptance:
 "Immigration societies through out the state cannot find better means of setting forth the ad- vantages of their several sections than through the columns of the Spirit of Arkansas. Twenty-Five thousand copies of this paper are now printed every month, going into every state of the Union and are circulated among the very classes that immigration societies desire to reach, i. e., the people who are thinking about moving. Send your 'circulars" and tad dresses" to us for publication; the printing will not cost you q cent, and you will have all your funds left for distributing papers. You can send out ten times as many copies, for the same money, in this way, as you can by print ing pamphlets or circulars.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-09-09

WHAT YOU CAN DO IN ARKAN- sAs.-The following, clipped from the Spirit of Arkansas, shows what any industrious, energetic man who will use prudence and good management can do in our state. The picture is not over drawn:
 "In December last R. D. Plum kett sold to Richard Jones forty acres, in Faulkner county, near Palarm, and about l6 miles from Little Rock. Of this MT. Jones cleared twenty acres last winter, built house, stable, etc., and worked out by the day, mean time for his supplies. He will have this fall from four hundred to five hundred bushels of corn enough for his own use and at least two hundred bushels to sell and will have some five bales of cotton, representing at least $500 dollars in cash. That's not a bad years work for one hand, and shows what a man can do here, who is willing to work. Give us five hundred thousand Joneses- that's all Arkansas needs to make her one of the most prosperous and wealthy States ill the Union
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-09-09

A WELCOME TO STRANGERS That enterprising paper the Spirit of Arkansas, published at Little Rock, by Messrs. T. B. Mills & Co.,, extends this greeting to strangers visiting this state:
 "When you visit Little Rock, be sure to call at this office. No matter what your business may be, you will be welcome whether you want to buy any real estate or not. You will find pleasant rooms late papers, stationery, maps, &c., that are perfectly free. You will not be importuned to buy this cheap bargain or invest in that great speculation. That is not our style. We think that if you want anything in' our line that you will make it known. We shall not haunt the hotels to beg your custom, nor button hole you on the street. We keep an office in which to do business, and there we shall be glad to see all who are seeking information in regard to this country, whether there is any money in it" or not for us. We endeavor to treat all men courteously, poor as well as rich. A ten minutes chat on the sub- jcct of your visit may save you much trouble and expense.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-09-09
A FACT THAT YOU CAN'T
 GET AROUND.

The amount of reading that a people do is q sure index to their intelligence. And it is presuma- ble that if they read at all, they will read their home paper where they are most interested. What splendid commentary upon the intelligence of the people of good old Pope it would be if we could announce that EVERY MAN IN POPE COUNTY reads tho DEMOCRAT. It would speak volumes.
 Will not our friends and all the public spirited men of the county aid us to bring about this glorious consumation by exerting them selves to secure us each one, a few new subscribers. IT WILL PAY.
