Great and Glorious Country. /.

The following is description Of
Mississippi and her people, given by
some emigrant who had moved to that
State and writes to his friend:
"This is glorious country! It has
longer rivers and mere Of them, and
they are muddier and deeper, and run
faster, and make more noise, and rise
higher, fall lower. and do more damage
than anybody else's rivers. It has
more lakes, and they are bigger and
deeper and clearer than those Of any
other country. Our rail cars are big
ger and run faster, and pitch off the
track oftener, and kill more people than
those Of any other country. Our steam
boats carry bigger loads. are longer
and broader, and burst their boilers
oftener, and the captains swear harder
than steamboat captains in any other
country. Our men are bigger, and
longer, and thicker; can fight harder
and faster, and drink more mean whis-
key, and chew more bad tobacco, and
spit more, and spit further, and not be
killed, than any other country. Our
=
ladies are richer, prettier, dress finer,
spend more money, break more hearts,
wear bigger hoops, shorter dresses. and
kick up the devil generally to greater
extent than all other ladies in all other
countries. Our niggers are blacker,
work harder, have thicker skulls, smell
louder, and need more thrashing often
er, than any other niggers in any other
State. Our children squall louder,
grow faster, get too extensive for their
breeches quicker, than those of any
other children in any other country"

The Frozen water uains

WATER coEGEALiSG IN THE "DEAp GNb," rINor
THE MILD WEATHER SET IL a THEORY rs fHi-
SINGULAR oCCUHEEN' +.
Notwithstanding the fact that miller weather
has prevailed for several days, there are now a
greater number of frozen water mains and hv-
drants than at any time tins winter. Even this
morning, with the bright warm sunshine Of the
week and the rains which have fallen upon the
earth, hydrants which escaped freezing during
the severe weather and furnished an uninter-
rupted supply up to last night refuse now to
permit the passage Of single drop of water.
This is an unaccOuntable occurrence to nlany
people who have watched it with con-
siderable surprise. 1t is accounted. for, how
ever on the following hypothesis, viz During
the cold spell the frost penetrated the ground to
such depth that the mlder weather prevents
the lower portion of the frost from escaping
through the surface, but drives it down into the
earth that il itH downward passage it las
struck tile mains and connecting pipes, congea-
ing the water in til em where the circulation il
not kept up, and preventing the distribution of
the supply. As soon the frost paHAer below
the pipes it is expected that the ice will luefy,
and the usual quantity of water be obtained.
Meanwhile, the Water Department is relaxing
no effort TO thaw out the pipes. This morning,
for the first timein several weeks, water was Oh
Laihed from the main in It'll street, between
Washington AMI Jefferson, and only after tie
process Of thawng had been kept up since Fri
day last At first and for short distances the pro-
cess OF injecting steam is rapid; when 1t har to be
seat several hundred feet into the pipes in this
instance $50 feoD the process becomes slow the
greater the advance inward. Other mains, and
all of them ''dead ends, are being opened in
Tatnall street below 9th, about lis feet at 12lh
and West, $50 feet at Sth and Orange about
800 feet In 18th street, between Tatna and
Orange, about 300 feet, and in 18th, between
Orange and Market, whole square there are
mains frozen upon which no attempt has been
made to open them.

The Brooklyn Trial,
!. II.

CONTINUATION on MR.. TRAcY's SPEECH.
Yesterday was the second day Of Tracy4
opening speech in behalf OF the defence in
Brooklyn, and he touched upon matter that
was in some respects both novel and interesting.
This was in relation to the breaking out of the
difficulties between Bowen, BeecleT and Hiltol
in 1871, Bowen, according to the theory, being
an original party to the conspiracy against
Beecher but retiring when he found that there
was more danger than profit in it, and that there
was no chance Of Tton and Beecher uniting in
newspaper opposition to the Itdepea,ient.
Perhaps this is intended as laying the founda-
ton for the impugning of Bowen's testimony it,,
as has been stated, the prosecution should put
him on the witness stand to swear that he did
not discharge Tton from the Iadepe,.tiem and
brooklyn Union on account Of what Beecher
had said to him in the way of advice or dis
closure IN regard to Titon. Mr.. Tracy further
elaborated the theory of the conspiracy against
Beecher aud reviewed Mr.. Mouton's testimony
In caustic style. He has not yet concluded
his argument,

To the objection that there were four counties in
the State there would be three OF them antaso-
dale urged In the Board of Trade that THIS would
not be so. AS New Castle county would then he
the smallest Of the four in population The Interests
would grind her to powder .'-cO0'mereidt
The above is case of clear-we will not say
neutrality-suspicious.. MIR. croasdaie
remarked that the interests OF Kent and Sussex
would then become identical with those OF Will
nington in this matter, since New Castle county
would have the smallest population, and ii she
upposed it she would be ground between the
Others as between millstones. He never, how
ever, admitted that there was any probability of
sneh antagoniam, and was only arguing sup
positions case suggested by others. Ec'7Y Fc'n-
ing.
We give Mr.. c., as matter Of fairness, the
benefit of his explanation, and the people below
will probably be glad to learn that they are not
to be ground to powder Internationally,
but only in certain contingencies.
1t strikes us that the fees which the Lsgisa-
ture has voted to. Senators Bayard and Salisbury
for their services as attorneys for the State are
very large. Five thousand dollars for their le-
gal efforts in single controyersaiy, and it nei-
ther complicated, very protracted, nor wholly
successful Oh their part, appears an extrayagant
sum. The service rendered as some Of our
readers may not know, was the defence i'll the
United States courts Of the constitutionality OF
the laws of 1869 taxing the p, W, 4 b. Rail
road Company. The Courts maintained the law
il part, and decided it unconstitutional in 9th
er particulars. Fifteen hundred dollars each
was proposed for the two attorneys, but the Sen
ate voted them two thousand, and the House,
yesterday, two thousand five hundred, 1t il II
gross piece Of extravaganza.
!. II any Republican Legislative body tile
City Council-had voted five thousand dollars
in counsel fees to two Republican lawyers, for
services no greater than those rendered by
Messrs. Bayard and salisbury, the Democratic
and Independent press would have exhaust
ed the vocabulary of condemnation.
