A pleasant episode occurred at the Sane
tnary Of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish
Rite of Free and Accepted Masons on
Wednesday night This was the presenta.
ton OF a magnificent jewel to General Al
bert Pike, the sovereign commander. The
presentation was made by Robert Toombs,
Of Georgia, in an eloquent and touching ad-
dress, to which General Pike teelingly re.
sponded. The iewel is composed of q gold
double-headed eagle, studded with 26O dia.
monds. In the centre of the eagles heart
is large amethyst in the form Of triangle,
in which is inserted the figures 1885," in
gold. Over the head of the eagle is a crown
composed en- tirely of rubies and diamonds.
In its talons the eagle holds f aiming sword
OF gold, from which is suspended scroll
bearing the inscription Deus mean quejus."
The cost Of the jewel was 5000. ana ia de.
sign and workmanship is beautiful and
artistic. The presentation was made in the
presence of over fifty members of the Scot
fish Rite from all parts Of the United States.
A grand banquet followed, during which
the greatest iollity and good humor pre-
vailed, and most enjoyable evening en-.

Where she no longer needs our protection:
And Christ himself doth rule.

Safe from temptation safe from sin' pollution,

Behold her grown mere fair.
Thus do we walk with her, and keep unbroken
The bond which nature gives,

The western section shows shOaling near
the end OF the west jetty.
All these sections indicate a considerable
deepening at distances in front of. the Jet.
ties between 2400 and 1000 feet.
In material so soft az the mud demos.
tied in deep water it is difficult to say what
irregular changes may arise, either from it's
setting or from wave action on it in storms
But deepening here of eight OF ten feet
does not, in advance, seem probable, and
the work will at once be repeated, to detect
the error or verify the results of recent sur
vey of this area.
GRAND BAYOU.
The work at the head Of Grand Bayou,
for its closure, has been suspended, appar-
emily from the difficulty in building dam
across it there, and it's closure has been un.
dertaken at point about mile down the
paee. Three tiers of mattresses, each three
feet six inches in thickness, have been sunk
across the bayou; the mattresses of the
lower being 100 feet long. their axes being
in the direction of the stream. The top
layer of mattresses has from eleven to
twenty -four feet Of water on it. The state
of the work is shown on sheet No. l.
HEAD OF sOCTH PASS.
The position Of the jetty was described
m my last report, and is shown on sheet
No. /, herewith. as is also the condition of
the mattress work. -Four tiers of mattresses
have been sunk for two-thirds the length of
the jetty, one the west side of the guide
piles, and in places the number OF tiers
reaches six: On the east side of the guide
piles single tier Of mattresses has been
sunk for four-itths the length of the lefty.
At the present high stage of the river
much of it is not up to the river surface.
and the water at ell such places runs across
it at an angle of 20o or 800, with high velo-

port Ito what degree the jetties and
auxiliary works are less massive, less
strong, less enduring, and less costly than
the work planned By the board of en-
gineers" already referred to.
The board proposed for the first Zoo feet
OF the east jesty matlress-dike ten feet
wide on top, with side slopes of twOt birds.
In it's present condition the first 5000 feet
consists of two rows of piles, line of sheet
piling. and two layers Of mattresses. The
next 2lOO feet has cross-sectiOnal mattress
area sOmew here near that proposed by the
board. From this point on, the jetty in its
present state has . less cross section than
that proposed BY the board, the difference
becoming very great on reaching deep
water, where the board proposed a top
width OF fifty feer, with side slopes of one
quarter, while the construction has q top
width OF twenty-five feet and bottom width
of fifty feet.
The head of the west jetty, as instructed,
is about 1000 feet below that of the east
Jetty. The same relations exist between it
and the plan of the DO ard 10 in the CORE
spending portion of the east jetty.
The board proposed mattresses essen
italy the same as, those used in the only
similar mattress structure which has sue
cesstully resisted heavy seas, consisting of
crossed layers of strong fascines whose ill.,
tervals were filled with brush. The mat
tresses used At South Pass have no fascines,
but are layers of leafy brush, confined by
stips OF boards on top and bottom, and by |
stakes, which pass through the mattresses,
whose heads are fastened into these strips. |
The cost of the mattresses proposed by the |
board would have been from fifty to 100 per |
cent greater per cubic foot.
Shoals, previously existing or newly !
formed, SO protect the outside of both jet |
ties that they are not now exposed to vi0-
lent wave action, except toward their sea |
ends. For the protected portions the mat
sresses used may very probably prove to
nave sufficient strength when covered by |
,tOne.
The board proposed substantial cover
ng Of stone for the jetties. No such cover
ng has - yet been applied to any part of
hem.

1t is stated on the authority of Dem
ocratic members of Congress that Hen
bricks has written a letter to member
of the Indiana delegation declaring the
terms upon which he will accept the
nomination for Vice President. This
letter is put forth as his ultimatum,
and states in substance, the House must
before adjournment, pass the bill re-
pealing the resumption act. This action
would seal the pledge of the st. Louis
platform and would bring the whole
party over to imitation ground, or so
near it that Hendricks and his follow
ers could profess to be satisfied. If they
can get this concession in advance, they
will vote for Tilden on the ground that
he cannot stand in the way of their
schemes since the first important ster
has been already taken.

SWELLING BY RECRUITS

from all the agencies. The Northern
Cheyennes are with him, and large
portion of the Ogallalas ;and probably he
has had 2, 1000 or more well-armed and
well-mounted warriors in these late
fights. There were times last winter
when he could not have gathered 800
men; but the young bucks have slyly
slipped away from the agencies where
they wintered, and where the old peo-
pie and women and children are being
fed by the government, and they will
remain with him during the summer.
This war then has no connection with
the Black Hills trouble-none whatever.
1t was waged defensively on our part
for many years before the Hills were
entered by anyone. The Black Hills
trouble may be used as pretext to in
duce treaty Sioux to join in the war OF
course Sitting Bull is anxious to confed-
crate all the Sioux tribes and bands in
a general war. He has been trying to
do this for years, and has made repeat
ed advances to the Crows and Blackfeet.
This is one reason why the Peace Com
missioners urged that he must be sub
dued, lest he should demoralize all the
treaty Indians and bring on a general
war. OF course the Government has no
alternative except to bring him to terms.
Any other course would be cowardly
and wicked surrender of our frontier
settlers and our friendly Indian allies
and subjects to barbarous and deter
mined enemy Of our country.
