rortlculars Of the Moss Larceny.

.,caks nr months hard labor, succeeded
in securing about three tons OF moss on

THE LOUISIANA LKVEE COMPANY.
How They DO 1t.

The following letter to Mr.. Kellogg,
from the State Commissioner OF En-
gineers, speaks for itself. We therefore
publish it without any comments:
OFFICE COMMISSION OF ENGINEERS. /
New Orleans. April is, 1876 !,
His Excellency W. P. Kellogg. Governor of the
State of Louisiana:
Sir-The Commission of Engineers,
in its annual order of levees to be con-
structed on October /, 1875, included the
leyee at Milliken's Bend, and on the
18th of November following, the plans,
profiles and specifications for this work
were sent to the Louisiana Levee Com
pany. About the Sd inst. a crevasse
occurred in front of this work, not yet
completed. On the 4th inst. this Com
mission sent orders to close this Gre
vase, and sent the Chief State Engineer
to superintend and assist in the exc
cution Of the order. We are now in re-
ceipt of notice that the Levee Company
will not attempt the work, alleging
want OF means, etc.
The official report OF the State Auditor
shows that the following amounts have
been paid the Levee Company on ac-
count of levee tax, viz: 1874, $677, 700 /;
1875, $343, 400; total, $1,021, 100.
The official record Of the commission
OF engineers show that orders for the
construction Of levees during the cor
responding period were issued as fol
lows: 1874, 100000 cubic yards; 1876,
l,086,20O cubic yards; total, 1876, 200
cubic yards.
The official report Of the commission
OF persons shows the actual number Of
cubic yards Of work done, and for which
the Levee Company is entitled 20 re-
ceive so cents per cubic yard, viz: 1874,
1877 ,952 cubic yards; 1875, 1856, 200 cubic
yards; total, 1924 1872.
This equated under the rate author
lied by law per cubic yard, amounts to
$912, O76. but the company has actually
received $1,O21 100, which exceeds the
amount due the Company S1O9,O24 this
amount has not been properly account
ed for, and the State seems to have been
defrauded to that amount.
Connected with this subject have the
honor to refer you to the correspondence
between the Commission and the State
Auditor and the State Attorney General
In the autumn OF 1874, and the proceed
ings resulting therefrom.
The rule is here established and has
been accepted by the Levee Company,
that this Commission can only order for
construction. during any one year, such
number Of cubic yards Of work as can
be met pro rata by the collectible levee
tax Of the corresponding year, levied by
act No. Of 1874. The logical inference
follows this ruling that the Levee Com
pany can only receive compensation for
work authorized by this Commission,
and actually executed by the company
The circumstances are respectfully
submitted for your consideration, with
the suggestion that they may justify
proceedings against the company for
forfeiture Of the exclusive privilege to
construct all levees ordered by this COM
mission at so cents per cubic yard.
am, sir, very respectfully, your ODE
dent servant, JAMES LoNGsTREET,
State Commissioner.

HARPERS MAGAZINE FOR DEOEM-
Der, 1876.

Harper's Magazine for December, be-
ginning the Fifty fourth Volume, is not
only an especially attractive number,
from the beauty of its numerous illus
trations, but is also distinguished by the
unusual variety and interest of its con-
tents. The number is embellished with
more than eighty exquisite engravings,
and contains, besides the five editorial
departments, twenty four contributions,
covering every possible variety in the
fieldof magazine literature. The descrip-
tive illustrated papers treat Of Genoa and
it's celebrities, living and dead; the Phil
ippipe Islands recent important ethno-
logical discoveries in Tennessee; and the
social life of the Knickerbockers OF New
York two hundred years ago. Porte
Crayon's illustrated paper on sBoys and
Girls in his characteristic style. Two
of the illustrated contributions are
poems. ''The Book of Gold" by J. T.
Trowbridge, is powerful and dramatic
Christmas story i'll verse. cat Two
Score" by L. B. Aldrici, willie it is
sufficiently personal to be welcome to
the poets many friends, is not egotisti-
cal, and will be read with delight by all
lovers Of poetry. The other poetical
contributions to this number are of I'M
usual excellence-no tably Paul Haynes
'Muscadines," which reminds one of
the happiest efforts of the older English
poets The most important feature of
the number is Mr.. Gladstone's manly
letter, explaining his attitude toward
this country during the late war. There
is a very large audience in America that
will regard with the greatest interest this
communication from England's wisest
statesman. Mr.. Gladstone's letter is
very happily followed by timely poem
from Bishop Coke on England and
America" In fiction this number is
brilliant. r. D. BIackmore, the author
of sLorna Doone," ''Alice Lorraine, "
and ''The Maid of Sker," begins a new
novel, entitled ''Erema or, My Faith
er's SIM In the current number of a
ssWoman- Halter" there is an exceedingly
entertaining chapter touching upon the
subject of woman's higher education.
Miss Thackeray's exciting story "Peat
Fields,'' is concluded. There are also
in this number four excellent short stor-
les. The Editors Easy Chair discusses
Political Mass Meetings, Newspapers
and orators, Our transatlantic Critics,
and the Kitchen Question, concluding
with some suggestive hints as to beef
steak and apple-pie. The other editorial
departments are well sustained.

Two RIVERS. The Chronicle says
There is considerable talk among bust
ness men here of applying for city
charter next winter D.. . The Green Bay
Advocate reports the fatal shooting of
Richard Pricharts, of Maple Grove, last
week. The shooting was accidental it
says. - We are glad to learn that the
officers Of our public school contemplate
the establishment Of a Kindergarten in
connection with primary department. -.
Mr.. Peter Johnston, of Manitowoc, con-
trary to our speculations succeeded in be-
ing elected to the Assembly in the Third
District. Mr.. Johnston is man in ev-
cry way qualified to represent his dis
trict to the entire satisfaction of every
man in the district, whether Democrat
Or Republican, and we believe he will do
it. -. Trains over the NJ. l.. S. & v. Ry
willnot begin running from New London
to Milwaukee until about the 1st of De-
cember. When the new route is COM
pleted the morning train from this place
to Manitowoc, to connect with the Mil
waukee express from New London, will
not leave here until about $50 instead of
1920 as at present. :. Mr.. James Butler
of Manitowoc, is engaged in building
small schooner for parties in that city.
Dimension of her keel we understand
will be 70 feet, and as jim has the fash
ioning of the craft we feel sure it will be
a model of neatneas. No vessel build
ing is being done on the lakes this year
and should not be surprised if this would
be the only addition to the fleet of the
west-shOre for the next twelve months.
-. Manitowoc can have another tele-
graph line by paying well for it. The
Pilot advises Manitowoc business men to
subscribe to the stock of the Atlantic &
Pacific Telegraph Co. and secure an ex-
tension of its line TO their city SO as to
break up the monopoly which now ex-
lists. The fact is the line already in OPP
Grafton is not a very profitable one to its
owners and if the business was to be di-
vided between two competing lines nei-
ther could survive at present rates and
the result would undoubtedly be higher
rates or no messages.

A POPULAR Book HoUSE.--Amid the
general dulluess in nearly every business
it is gratifying to note that the book
trade is in furnishing condition, more
new books being turned out by the large
houses than usual at this time, whilst
the sales show corresponding increase.
This is mainly due to the advent of the
cool evenings, which are always read
ing time. There can be no solitude
among Intelligent people whilst books of
every imaginable description can be had
and at such reasonable prices as now.
The publishing house of t. 3. Peterson
& Brothers, No. sos Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia, Pa, is one OF the most ex-
tensive ana reputable houses in the coun-
try, have made liberal preparations for
this seasons trade. A large number of
new books have been issued within the
past three months, whilst others have
been rciss1 ned whose previous editions
had been exhausted, and this house can
row boast Of having one of the largest
and best selected stocks of books from
which readers can wish to select. They
will send their catalogue to any address
if written for, and it contains a list Of
the writings of such popular authors as
Mrs. Southworth, Mrs. Stephens, Mrs.
Hentz, Mrs. WarfeId, Miss Dupuy,
Mrs. Wood, Charles Dickens, Charles
Lever, Alexander Dumas, Wilkie Col
Inns, G. W. NJ. Reynolds, George Sand,
and many others.

EVERYBODY in town is on the tiptoe of
anxiety about the Presidential puzzle,
the ladies as well as the men, and it is
really amusing to hear the different ver-
sions of the situation from persons of all
political opinions-some contending that
Hayes will be elected and backing their
assertions with greenbacks, others that
Tilden will be the coming man, but not
risking much on it, and still others that
we are on the dragged edge" The Ia
dies in some places are particularly ami
mated on the subject, and express their
sentiments and preferences boldly and
freely. 1t is needless to say that they
are nearly all in favor of Hay es.

adopting the cash system of doing

Co, being the most recent to fall into
line. They have complete stock of
meritrous goods, and by buying and sell
ing strictly for cash are enabled to offer
superior bargains. 1t is an acknowledge
ed fact that one dollar in cash will buy
as much as $1.25 in credit, and their
customers will hereafter derive the ben
efits resulting from cash sales. Try
them and see.
