Mr. Devereaux, warden OF the House

building OF that institution was badly damaged,
SIS partly blown down, and that in wet
anoafher the workshop cannot be utilized; that
there was from one to two feeto water surround

A LAST FAREWELL.

A long cortege of our citizens, including q
large representation Of the boys Of the lost
cause, yesterday afternoon followed to the grave
the remains OF Capt Conrad Green, as gallant a
soldier and courteous q gentleman as ever trod
the earth. Capt. Green commanded during
the late war one of the companies Of the
Seventh Regiment, which fought so valiantly
in the valley OF Virginia with the other regi-
ments of the Louisiana Brigade.
Capt Green's demise was unexpected, to US at
least, for we were not even informed Of his ILL.,
ness, and only very recently we met him in the
enjoyment of robust health. He leaves family
and host of friends to mourn his untimely lose,
for he was scarcely over fifty years Of age at the
time of his death, and seemed endowed with a
physique promising for him much longer lease
Of life.

How the Groom Forced an Irate Mother
in-Iaw to Take a Back seat.
Some few days ago young girl named Lizzie
Dixon suddenly disappeared from her home on
Peters street, near Girod. As her parents knew
that she had gone to any other than proper
place, they reported the facts to the police, and
yesterday Special Mike Hennessey was sent out
to search for the lost one. He found Lizzie in q
house of i'll repute, No. 1877 Barracks street, kept
by Mrs. Hany, alias Tyers, in company with
one James Cunningham.
The officer made both Lizzie and James pris-
oners, and brought them to the Third Precinct
Station, and was about to lock Lizzie up on the
charge of being q juvenile vagrant. when Jimmy
defed any one to place that charge against Lizzie
and produced marriage certificate, duly re-
corded, to show that Lizzie Dixon was now Mrs.
Jimmy Cunningham. This settled things COM
pletely, and the bride and groom were told to 60
forth rejoicing, regardless Of the protest entered
by mama and papa.

THE REvETMENT LEvEE.
Views Of the Originator of the Plan Rela-
tive to Its strength.

views Of the Originator of the Plan Rela-
tive to Its strength.
Yesterday afternoon DEMOCRAT reporter Wis
tied the revetment levee at tile lake for the pur-
pose OF inspecting the amount Of damage result
ing from the storm after it had spent it's force.
The breaks referred to in yesterdays DEMOCRAT
had enlarged somewhat, but the plank revetment
proper was not as much damaged as was first
thought, there being ON the 1900 feet Of front
about eighteen breaks, varying from twenty to
four feet. Just behind the planking the en-
bankment is much washed away, and i'm
mediate repairs are required. Whilst in his
peregrinations the reporter met Major w. Il.
Bell, the former city surveyor, who was the ORR
ginator Of the plan, as carried out Of building
this revetment.
Major Bell stated that this levee had been sug-
gested by him some time before the work was
started, and that he had followed strictly the
report of the United States Board Of Engineers
in building the work. II was commenced five
years ago, in the month Of August, 1872, and all
wood work was composed of heart pine Backing
up this wood work was an embsnkment Of earth
it's rear some fifteen feet in depth and filling and
SUSTAINING the siOplnB IronGs AccoTulnB 10
Major Bells opinion the cause of the break
ing of the revetment was that inasmuch
as it had not been repaired since it's
building the piles and facing had rotted
away, and were torn out by the force Of the
waves He said that the waves came over the
revetment in thin sheet Of water and dripped
down, washing the fine sand from the embank-
ment down, allowing the water to undermine the
woodwork and gradually creating break.
The crest of the embankment is fully seven
feet above the Metarie ridge.
When questioned regarding the means Of re-
pairing the damage done, Major Bell said that it
would be best to take an average line along the
ragged edge Of the present damaged earthwork
and to construct strong vertical bulkhead fol-
lowing the line of the caves in the levee.
The cost of this would not exceed $4,000 If
new cypress piles were used they would last fully
seven years, but IL pine was employed they could
not be expected to be there more than five.
The ballast ought to have been used outside
the revetment as it was part Of the original plan.
The cost of the entire bulkheading, 5000 feet
from the New canal around to the east where 1t
joins the swamp, was $780, 00
Major Bells plan, which met with much OPP
position, was to have the front Of the revetment
faced with iron, as it would not float and thus
more powerfully resist the action of the water.
