AN OLD MANS AMOUR.

The ueighbor rhood OF Monmouth Junction, N. J. q,
usually quiet and staid, is just convulscd with
excitement over tho rumor that Aaron Gulick,
osenaran and descendant Of the early Dutch settlers
and also Of the wcathiest residents Of tho little
town OF Kingston, will shortly ngurc as one OF the
principals In breach Of promise case, the other prn
cipal being young and distant relative OF his named
Louise Gulick. From statements made appears that
Aaron, who has already buried two wives, after the
death OF the second about two ago. brought his
relative, Louise IRON bcr homo In Brooklyn 10

companion TO his daughter. Amanda This, lady
Is Aarons daughter by hts FIRST wife, and now forly
years OF age. For time things went along very
smoothly until Aaron began to pay marked dttcntOns

FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.

WASHINGTON, Sept 20, 1877.
SUBSIDIES, LEVELS. RAILROADS AND STEAM
sHIps-soUTHERN PROPOSITIONS.
II one might Judge OF Southern public opinion from
the conversations of Congressman and other persons
Of influence from that section who appear from time
to time ID this city, It would seem that tho SOUTH or
at least a very large and influential part OF It, very
dcsrous of an Appropriation for the permanent i'm
provcmcnt OF tho Mississippi and Its Tributaries, ard
what Is extremely significant, would very gladly
content with such appropriation and usk for moth
ing moro in tho way Of subsidies or public aid.
There can be doubt that the lcvcc system OF the
Mississippi Is IN n very Tad condition The great
river, in the FIRST place. was never systematically
lcvccd Before the war the work was done by organ
izations OF planters who kept tocrablo repair and
very slowly extended an immense PATCHWORK, unsys-
tcmatc, temporary It's character and always break

After the they became the objective points Of
swindiing poticians. II has long been that the
work, to endure ana to be effective and economically
maintained, must be carried general and COM
prchcnsivc plan. To cmbank tho In spots only s
to compel it TO break its banks at other places and
commit ravages OF various kinds To lcvce even the
I. whole Lower mississippi, from Cape Girardeau down,
ilwouid not be sufficient, because this would cause
heavy backwater OF It's allucnis-the Arkansas, Red
other streams. II is easily understood that II you
narrow the he'd OF great like tho Mississippi IT'S
watcrs In time Of food, instead Of securing out tho
bottom will rush up tho streams which enter II ana
cause destruction there. In so fiat region as the
Lower Mississippi country this bacswator will cven
force net channels behind tho lcvcos and thus
dcmosh this work.
Petty appropriations for repairs or new lcvccs In
favored ocaIit os are therefore OF money THIS
has long secn and Congress seven years ago or

getting al general and scientifically correct plau OF i'm
