EAps' RIVER IMPROVEMENT THEORY.

| bADS NV bh ihIhON EMLNl ihLOhis
Memphis appeal, 10Th: Captain Eads,
In some Of his late addresses, has OK
planned how the jctty system, that has
proved SO successful at the mouth ot the
river, would DO equally so in the course
of the river itself. The Mississippi river
carries large amount OF sediment, The
.am0unt- carried. at any p0iJt de-
Tpciids upon the current there. II the cur
rent Is brisk, a large amount Of sediment
Is held In suspensions; il slow, there Is a
deposit of sediment that had been taken
up where tho current was swii'er.' The
relative rapidity OF the stream depends
upon the comparative width Vt The river.
Where the river is narrow, rs a
rule, the stream will be swilter;
where wider, slower; where very
wide, much slower. Putting rocky
places out OF the question, where the cur
rent is swift it will clear out q compar-
atively deep channel; where wide, de-
post OF some portion OF the suspended
matter will cause the channel to shoal.
If an average width was decided upon at
which ii is desirable the river should re.
main, by placing at the margins of the
wide spots willow mattresses, such as
constitute the jetties, the flow OF water
would be confined within the required
space, and the current would become
quicker, as the whole body of water
would pass through narrower channel.
This narrowing would bringu what had
been a sluggish flow to an average one.
Tho water would then carry an average
amount of sediment, and the chan
mel would ssbs worn down to an
average depth. The whole of the
system is-regnlate the width of
tho stream, that will regulate its
speed, and the speed will regulate the
amount Of matter held in suspension.
Where that amount is fairly regulated
there will be no depositing OF soil at the
wide parts Of the channel, consequently
information Of shoals. Experiment has
already proved that, when the river
passes on two sides Of an island, and is
shallow in every part, by stopping the
flow on one side, the whole amount of
water being sent along the other will
necessarily run swifter. This increase
of speed In the current will cut away the
bar and leave navigable channel.
These views of Capt. Eads are awaken.
ing much interest, and may result In
bringing about that improvement in
river navigation that so deeply concerns
the interest and prosperity OF Memphis.
And all the cities OF the Mississippi |
Valley for that matter. ...

State Journal, 10th: The Rolling Mill,
which forms such an important element
in Springfield industries, during the past
month turned out $3.50 tons of rails,
mostly thirty pounds to the yard. These
by the new re,heating process. This is
the largest quantity eyer turned out by
this process In a single month, in this
mill or probably in the State. About q
year ago, 1t Ia true, the mill turned out
$3.50 tons, in a single month, but half
were Of the first heating, while, as stated.
last months rails were made by the re-.
heating process. The prospects Of the
mill for large amount Of work are flatter.
Ing, and especially 10 since the rebuild
Ing OF the re-heating furnace. The mill
ls believed to be doing larger business
than any other in the country.

DAN VOORHEES,, INDIANA's NEW UNITED
STATES SENATOR,

sIAIEs SENAIOR.
Daniel voorhees, Is a native OF Ohio.
born in Butler county in September lS27
His parents settled In Fountain county.
Indiana, about ten miles from the town OF
Covington. Here he lived his early years
farmers boy. and at the age of eighteen
entered Asbury College at Greencastle,
where he was graduated with honor in
lS49. He studied law in Charlottesville,
and began practice there in 1852. 1t will
thus be seen that Mr.. VOORHEES, is emf
| nently "HoOsier" production in early

law, and it is in State practice and In
State politics that he has made his
reputation. At the age of &c he was

Brown raiders, and gained considerable
reputation by his brilliant oratory. In
lS@ he was elected to congress from that
district, elected again In 1862 and defeated
In 1864 for contested seat BY Ii. d.

HONE INTERESTS

+ DRIFTING CAKr.-Mix wen together
2 pounds of -four, q pint Of warm milk
and tablespoonful Of yeast; let it rise
about half an hour, then add ! pound of
brown sugar, pound curranfg and !
pound of good, fresh beef dripping; beat
the whole we'll for nearly { hour and
bake in moderately hot oven.
A NICE CREAM PIE.-1 cup white su-
gar, ! of q cup of cream, 2 eggs, cups
fiour, 1 teaspoonful cream-tartar, tea
spoonful soda. This will make thin
cakes, between which spread the cream.
For the cream take 4 pint of milk, put
into q basin of hot water on the stove,
beat egg with white sugar enough to
sweeten, and add teaspoonfuls corn,
starch; stir this into the milk when hot,
and flavor with vanilla and cinnamon.
When cool put between the cakes.
To KEEP RIPE FRUIT.-Gather the
fruit perfectly dry and sound, and weigh,
with an equal quantity of white sugar,
which must be finely pounded. Bruise
the fruit very gently in . mortar, not
sufficiently to force the juice to flow,
then put into wide-mouthed bottles,
strewing the sugar in among it. Fill
the bottles entirely, leaving only space
for coating of mutton suet, which will
effectually exclude the air. Tie clean
bladders over the corks and set the bot
ties away in cool place. Raspberries,
strawberries, gooseberries or currants,
preserved this way, make delicious tarts
or cream in the winter.
CUCUMBER PICKLEs.-The small,
long kind are tine best for pickles and
those but half grown are nicer than the
full grown. Let them be freshly gath
cred, pull of the blossom, but do not
rub them. Pour over them a strong
brine boiling hot, cover closely, and let
them stand all night. In the morning
drain on sieve, and dry them in a
cloth. To each qusrt of best cider vinegar
put ounce of whole black pepper, the
same of ginger and allspice, and 1 ounce
of mustard seed-add onions if agreea-
BILE. When this picked vinegar bOil>
up, throw in the cucumbers and make
them boil as quickly as possible for
three or four minutes-nO longer. Put
them in a jar with the boiling vinegar
and cover closely. Made in this way
your pickles will be tender, crisp, and
green. If the color is not quite clear
enough, boil the vinegar over the next
day, then pour it over the cucumbers
and cover perfectly tight. :.

A Beautiful Girls Suicide.

About 5 O'Clock on Wednesday even
ing, says the Decatur CTex.) Tribune,
information reached Squire Scarbor-
ough that Miss Emma Bryant had been
found dead about four miles south from
town, near her home. Hastily sum-
moning jury, the Squire repaired to
the scene, quiet, shady place, about
200 yards from the house the surround
ing of trees, and leaves and grass made
a most beautiful and lovely place. The
body lay on its back with its head turn
ed to one side, and near by, in bottle,
was what remained of the fatal drug,
which had been the means of sending
her soul before her Maker. There were
no signs of violence of any kind on the
body which indicated any other mode
of death than that of suicide. The only
suspicious circumstance that attracted
the attention of the jury was the finding
of sperm on the leaves about the body,
and few drops on her clothing, while
no candle could be seen anywhere in the
vicinity of her body.
The clothing she had on, and the
manner in which she had adjusted it,
showed plainly that she had contem-
plated the act, as every thing was scru-
pulously clean, and of such nature as
is usually placed upon dead people, with
the exception of light calico wrapper,
which she had evidently drawn over her
other clothing before going to the fatal
spot, and which was simply pinned to-
gether.
Her relatives and friends could sug
gest no motive for the act, and nothing
could be found, either on the body or in
the room, that contained the least hint
of the matter. She seemed to be cheer
full, and acted as she usually did, on
Tuesday. She gathered some corn from
the field and sbelled it so that it could
be sent to the mill on Wednesday. Mr..
WATSON had been away from home WIS.,
iting some acquaintance and returned
on Tuesday night, and sat up till nearly
9 O'Clock, telling of their friends, during
which time she asked many questions.
The family retired about 10 O'Clock, at
which time they are positive that she
was in her room. 1t is thought she left
the house some time duringthe night, as
the body bore the appearance of having
lain some time when found, which was
about o'clock Wednesday evening.
There she lay in that peaceful nook
with q smile on her face, as though she
had merely stopped, tired on the way,
to rest, and had fallen asleep. Which
indeed was the ''sleep that knows not
waking"
Her friends speak of her as having
been remarkably intelligent, and withal,
of lively and happy disposition. While
we can have no means of knowing what
impelled her to commit the rash act,
and therefore have no right to suppose
any, yet who knows, but what concealed
beneath seeming exuberance of spirits,
she carried heart bowed down with
grief which so overwhelmed her as to
cause her to take her own life in order
to obtain relief? Who knows?

A New Insect.

Mr.. Fairfield presents in the Phreno-
logical Journal an illustration of a hith-
ertO unknown insect, found in the brain
and abdominal tissues of the common
house-fly. He has in his possession,
mounted for observation, six specimens
out of more than 80 observed during a
single dissection, besides a large num-
Der of ova and of embryons in different
stages of development. This little ami
maI-the most minute of all the insects
thus far discovered lis, in the mature
state, about, the 1-500th of an inch in
length, exclusive of the legs, by about
the 1-8OOth of an inch in breadth-that
is to say, it is somewhat smaller than
the larger animalcules found in stag
nant water; but has four pairs of fully
developed, four-jointed, insect legs; q
pair of three-jointed antenn@ (feelers)
terminating in minute hairs, and the
usual insect organs.

A Printer In the Big Hole Fight.

Samuel C.. Durham, q compositor
from this Office, says the Montana Her.
aid, was in the battle, fighting in Cap
tain Rawn's company. Mr.. Dunham
says the victory would have been COM
plete if the attacking force had been
great enough to have allowed it to ex-
tend above and below the Indian village,
to prevent the Indians from getting In
to the brush by the flank; that the In
dams, before they reached the cover of
the brush, shot wild, were wild with ex-
element, and were nothing in the face
of the GOODNESS and intrepidity of the at
lacking force. He says that Captain
Rawn is deserving of special mention
for his bravery and GOODNESS in the
presence of appalling danger. After his
chief was wounded the direction of at
fairs largely devolved on him, and it
which the men followed where he went,
and their confidence in his leadership.
Lieutenant Jacobs was q holy terror,
and wild as an Indian. He did his
work with revolvers right in the midst
of them. Lieut.. Woodruff, who will
carry an honorable scar as q memento
of this battle, and Lieut.. Woodbridge
distinguished themselves for bravery.
Lieut.. English, who has such grievous
wounds that slight hopes of his recov-
cry are entertained, Lieut.. Coolidge and
Capt. Williams, with less serious
wounds, all have upon them the seal of
noble daring. Capt. Comba, Capt.
Browning, and Lieuts. Wright and Van

that they performed their duties faith

men with such heroic examples before

The most rapid waste Of fortune on
record is that Of John Taylor Johnston.
His father, in the course Of long life,
accumulated q million for his son, and
the latter sank the whole of it in two
years. He had become President of the
New Jersey Central Road, in which he
embarked his entire fortune. The fail
ure of this road ruined him in . COM
plete and hopeless manner. Never be-
fore has q million been so rapidly
thrown away by man who had NO bad
habits, and was making every. honest
effort to increase his wealth.
