1t must be admitted. the delegates
say, that the above shows that the com
merce of New Orleans is already of con
siderable Importance, and the indica-
tions of a greater and more rapid
development In the future are not
drawing to the end The ietties of Capt.
Eads have proved a success. A depth of
90 feet 10 inches at low water has been
attained, and the delegates, from per
sonal examination. entertain no doubt
that this depth will soon be increased TO
~ feet. When New Orleans has thus
become accessible to the larger class of
vessels 1t may confidently expect a re-
vival OF its grain export trade. The
port has an elevator on the levee, built
by q Milwaukee man, who appreciated
its Importance as grain market. Last
year the receipts were 373a. 642 bushels
of Indian corn, of which 2,69l .39p bushels
We're shipped, mostly to Europe. The
merchants of st. Louis that even

freight from New Orleans to Liver
pool than from Eastern ports to
Liverpool they could ship Indian corn as
cheapIy by way Of New Orleans, and
were prepared to send down 1900. 900
bushels a monthwhen New Orleans can
offer the required ship room. 1t is evil
dent that several years must pass before
New Orleans can reap the full benefit Of
it's exceptional position. In the end,
however, the great advantage Of being
the only American port on the Gulf of
Mexico accessible to large vessels,
and of its location midway between
the provision and grain producing
West and the tropical countries Of Cen
trail and South America, which require
those articles In exchange for their spe-
cial products. must have it's effect.

Valley until the distractions Of that
rivers mouth turned IL to artificial
routes East. With these instructions
it may confidently be expected
to return, in great measure, In its natural
course, IL IL finds in that direction faeili-
ties as great as those offered by the
Eastern lines.

death has been laid ON members of our
Society, and they have been stricken down
in their fields of labor and usefulness, we
in common with the communities in
which they lived and labored have paid
our tribute of respect to their memories
We are assembled to-day to express our

grandest eloquence of the orator. Men
may be equally learned in anatomy :;
equally skilled in operating; equal in me-

to an eminent degree, which constituted
him perhaps one of the greatest surgeons

styled him Emperor" and he could as

not to a city or State, nor are they limited
by the length and breadth of this fair land,

will be honored and respected wherever
medical science and surgical skill are
known and appreciated. He will need no

Monday evening, at the parsonage.
