THE ORIGIN OF THE LATE WAR.

Mr.. Alexander Delpit, q native of New Or
leans, and resident Of Paris since the war Of
the rebellion, has written play, entitled the
.'Chevalier de Ia Patrie," which has been pro-
duced at the Theater Historique,. in Paris. Its
object is to to give the French people no.
ton of the civil war in this country, and it
laws the groundwork for this fabric of infor-
nation by making the Southern rebellion the
result of tax on absinthe imposed by Presi-
dent Lincoln. The Parisians, who have no doubt
often wondered why the States went to war,
will doubtless bestow theft sympathies upon
the vapeuished Southerners for all time now
that they have come to know the real cause of
the rebellion.
The plot Of the play is this: A villainous
Northerner named Bradford, domlciled on
vast cotton plantation near Washington (M

Joins the Southern army, which, under Stone
wall jackson. menaces Washington. Here.
while young Cavalie is hunting for his sisters
abductor, he comes in contact with jackson,
Stuart and all the Southern leaders. Stone
wall Jackson seizes an opportunity to die on
the stage, after making long speech about
patgie. Young. Cavalie, on his errand
of vengeance, finally penetrates into the
White House at Washington, where he arrives
just in time to prevent John Wilkes Booth,
who appears under the name of Maxwell,
from killing Abraham Lincoln. In reward for
this rescue the President ferrets out and pun
ishes the wretch Bradford, and then suffers
himself to be quietly assassina'e ed by Maxwell
in his box at the theater. This ends the play,
which is interspersed throughout with steam
boat explosions, minstrel performances.
great deal of revolver-shooting, bowie-knife
duel. and other pleasing diversions peculiar
to the Americans. The play seems to have
created sensation in Paris second only to
that created by Dumas "L'Etrangere,
which is also an American play. 1t is more
than likely that, with these two dramas on
the boards, the Parisians will soon acquire a
great deal OF very accurate information about
America and its inhabitants. Chicago Times

The GALVESTON HARBOR SURVEY COMPLETE.
GALVESTON, March IA. The completion of
the recent survey Of tha harbor by Lieut..
Q1in, shows the western point where in June,
1875, there was only five feet Of water, has
entirely disappeared, and soundings at that
particular spot show depth of over IA feet.
The western channel, formerly used in
crossing the inner bar. is entirely closed. and
the deep water of Galveston harbor channel
has united with the deep water opposite the
end of the jstty, and lacks only $50 feet of
uniting with the deep water of Bolivar cham
mel. When this connection is made there will
be depth OF over eighteen feet on the inner
bar.
Tho gabions in the jetty are covered with
sand. The old swash channel is oblit Grated,
and is now connected with and form q con-
tinuation of Galveston Island.
TIE depth of water in the shoalest spot at
low tide is now 14a feet at ordinary height l6
feet. Before the city commenced the pile
breakwater, there was only 9 feet Of water on
the inner bar. The recent work by the gov
eminent has confined the water to q single
channel
The results already obtained are very salts
factory and there appears no doubt that the
jetty system as being applied will terminate
in giving Galveston eighteen to twenty feet of
water over the bars.
