THE DRAINAGE QUESTION.

John, the Metairie Ridge and the tsil-raee on
Orleans street, have several times brought COM
plant OF their lands being inundated whenever
it rains. The causes Of these inupdations. which
know to be facts, are easily explained.
Before the Judgment rendered against The city

tby which Judgment the city was prohibited the
right Of draining into the bayou said portion Of
ground drained into the Orleans canal, aud was

OF land. After the Judgment had been rendered
against the city, forcing the city to make q tail
race Of the Orleans street canal, syphon of some
four feet squire Was placed under the Orleans street
canal nj The Junction with Osrrollton Avenue, in
order to drain the above mentioned portion Of
ground. That syphon having got out OF order
some fears were entertained lest It would pro-
woke crevasse at that point and for that reason
Che wooden syphun OF four feet was replaced by
18-inch diameter cast iron pipe, which ia entire

Ealoy, president OF Oarondelet Canal and Navigs-
hon Company, for permission to place q sluice
through the protection levee near the old 1T.
John Clubhouse, which was refused.
This sluioe would have drained The road along
the bayou during low water in said bayou.
The only manner Of overcoming this evil would
be 10 shift the draining machines from their 40.

A FRIENDLY WARMING KINDLY CONVEYED.
Beware Of gush The people are not fools.
Not even those In Louisville, Kentucky.
And though the principals Of coored schools
Greet you and Hayes, don't count yourself
too lucky;
That kind of ardor very quickly eools
And In the long run men admire o plucky
And firm Executive, who keeps his troth.
And does not hoat his policy In froth.
It's well enough to pirate Of friendly feeling
Between the North and South, but there's
question,
Concerning those who lately did the stealing
I'm Carolina with bare suggestion
That Chamberlain. through Hayes, has been
appealing
To you to carry eut-what you would best
shtin-
A bargain, which, II kept, would let him free
go,
And shield from justice Kimpton's utter ego
Leave Harry Wattsrson to furnish whisky
To erring Key, and mush and milk TO
Hayes
cTis safe to say that, even though he's frisky,
He'll keep his head through this September
And get you home. Your absence is too risky,
Since It involves your fame In many ways;
And, when you cool down from the Hayes ex-
element.
Suppose you hasten CHARACTERISTICS indict-
ment!
Remember this If that arch hypoerite
The hsartless plunderer OF PROSTATE
State
Escapes the penalties which law hath writ
Against his crimes, stern Justice, soon or
late,
Will overtake those traitors who permit
This tricky eulprit to defy his fate.
Beware Wade Hampton, lest thou lead the

And hear. as David heard, Thou dyt me md1,!

At 10 o'clock last night the quick reporl OF q

the officers that they need not get excited, thst
she did that shooting, that her pistol was loaded
without ball and she had fred 1t off with the
hopes that II there was any burglars around they

The officers told her that she had already

offense they would be forced to place her where
burglars would not be likely TO bother her. The
lady promising not to fire any salutes, the officers
retired.

HAVANA, Sept. 15.-Fresh recruits for
the Spanish army OF operations in this

daily. They will number in all $4,000
men, of whom all but 1900 are from the
northern provinces OF Spain.
In response to Campos' urgent appeal,

boys, recruited from the northern prov
inces, who have never handled mus

months Of August and September are
notably those in which the yellow
fever makes it's greatest ravages, and
although during the earlier part of last
month the deaths from this dreaded ep-

four weeks been as fatal as it was ever
