gloomy medltations over the problom of third

SHIP CANAL COMPANY AWAKE
A skeleton Arises from the Tomb.

The Mississippi and Mexican Gulf SHIP
Canal Company has filed a petition, praying
for a mandamus before the Superior Court
The petition sets forth that an act of the
Legislature, establishes Board Of Draining
Commissioners empowered to levy uniform
assessments upon the superficial square
foot Of land in their district
That by another act in 1861 these taxes
were ordered to be collected by filing tab
Ieaux of assessment in courts Of competent
jurisdiction; that the Legislature in 1871 In
corporated the Mississippi and Mexican Cult
Ship Canal Company, placing the drainage OF
the city under their control, and authorizing
the Board Of Administrators to impose an as
sessment on land in this district
It further sets forth that this Ship Canal
Company has complied with the provisions
of the law enacted for the collection Of this
tax, but that the Administrators refuse to
proceed
That the company, for a valuable consider
alton, conveyed to Van Norden all the rights
and privileges they possessed, and prayer
for an alternative mandamus was appended
to compel the city to enforce the prompt col
lection of this tax. c. 5. Rice represents the

Something AbOut Echoes.

good ear cannot distinguish one sound from
another, unless there is an interval Of one ninth
OF a second between the arrival of the two sounds
Sounds must, therefore, succeed each other at an
interval of one-ninth of second ia order to be
heard distinctly. Now the velocity of sound be-
ing eleven hundred and twenty feet second in
one-ninth OF a second the sound would travel one
hundred and twenty -four feet.
Repeated echoes happen when two obsta cles
are placed opposite to one another az parallel
walls, for example, which reflect the sound sue
cessivey.
At Ademach, in Bohemia there is an echo
which repeats seven syllables three times At
Woodstock in England, there is one which re-
peats sound seventeen times during the day
and twenty times during the night. An echo in
the Villa Simonetta. near Milan. is said to repeat
a sharp sound thirty times audIbly. The most
celebrated echo among the ancients was that OF
the Ne ELI, at Rome, which. according to tradi-
ton, was capable of repeating the first line OF
the Ened containing fifteen sylables, eight
times distinctly.
DR. Birch describes an echo at Roseneath. Ar
gyleshire, which, it is said, does not now exist.
When eight or ten notes were played upon a
trumpet, they were returned by this echo upon a
key third lower than the original notes, and
shortly after upon a KEY still lower. DR.. Page
describes an echo in Fairfax County, Virginia
which possesses similar curious property. This
echo gives three distinct reflections, the second
much the most distinct. Twenty notes PLAYED
upon flute are returned with perfect cearness 5.
But the most singular property OF this echo is,
that some notes Of the scale are not returned in
their places, but are supplied with notes which
are either thirds fiftbs, or octaves.
There is surprising echo between two barns in
Belyldere Allegheny county, New York. The echo
repeats eleven times word of one, two or three
syllables it has been heard to repeat thirteen
times. By placing ones self in the center be-
tween the two barns, there will be double echo
one ia the direction Of each barn, and monosyl-
liable will be repeated twenty-five times.

WASHINGTON.
The Improvement Of the Mouth Of the Mississippi
Republicans Dissatisfied With The Louisiana
Committee.

Correspondence st. Louis Republican,
WASHISGToS, Jan. 2.-The Senate committee
transportation routes to tho eeaDoard had a
meeting this morning, at which the recent report
of the commission OF engineers on the improve
ment Of the mouth Of the Mississippi, was under
consideration. The committed adjourned with
out taking any definite action, and will meet
again next week. The sentiment i'll favor Of the
lefty project grows more pronounced every day,
although some feeling has manifested itself lately
in favor OF the construction Of the jetties by the
Government itself, under the supervision of the
army officers
1t is believed, however, that none of those who
voted for jettes last year favor any other propo-
sition than that OF Capt. Eads, while numerous
converts can be counted upon toward the report
OF the engineer commissioner, as conclusive evil
dence that he has just the necessary skill and
technical knowledge necessary for such diff
cult undertaking.
