Mud Islands.

There is nothing more curious on our
coast than the mud islands at the mouth
of the Mississippi. They were lifted from
the bottom of the sea;but how is mys-
terry. Some have risen or subsidized in a
single day, and the gas coming from
them, few feet below the surface,
keeps up a continual turmoil of the
water above, while from all of them the
gases which raise them escape through
small but apparently bottomless craters.
In some of these springs the water that
shoots up is several degrees cooler than
it is in the surrounding sea; and the
crater Of one Of them, on Osgood's Is
land, has mineral flavor. and is sold
in New Orleans drug stores as speci-
fic for rheumatism. These islands never
rise in channels of navigation, but al
ways on their edges, Some have a liv.
| ing vegetation, but the greater number

are bare. On one of these, near the
Southeast Pass, brick fort, construct
ed by the Spaniards, is slowly sinking
into the sea- On Gordon's Island still
grows grove of fig trees century old,
and near them graveyard. in which
are headstones bearing Spanish names
and dates one and two centuries ago.
As the delta strips work seaWard, they
keep an equal distance in advance, and
thus they rise, where formerly was deep
water, and often bring up fragments OF
wrecks lost more than 100 years ago.

have come here to find verdict in fa-
vor of Tilden, and they are going to try
and perform what is required of them.
They are followed everywhere by crowds
OF Democratic politicians, who will lead

will keep them away from Republican

The New York World, Dec. IS, says:
Senator Sherman is intriguing to get
Fery's place, and will then declare
neither Hayes or Tilden elected, and
thus hold over himself; his brother,
Gen. Sherman, will of course be at the
head of the army and is in the secret.
