I'm THE OLD LIKENESS"
Douglas, my Douglas, hear how l cry to
you,
Facing your land of the lupine and palm
Hear how cry to you, longing to fly to you
From the cold hearth of this comfOrtlesS
calm,
Call me, l pray, from the reeds where the
robin,
Swinging and SIM ing alone to his mate,
Stirs my slow pulse to passionate sobbing
For the home lilies that grow by the gate !!
Oh! at the gate, love;
Call, for wait, love;
Call, and l answer at breaking of day;
Swift to your bosom,
O'er hillside and blossom,
Rreeze-like and bird like, away and away.
Douglas, my Douglas, o hear how l cry to
you,
Leave me no longer so lorne and so lone;
Call me your darling, and say l may fly to
Never to leave you, o Douglas, mine
Oh! if you heard the winds carry my sob
bling,
Over the mountain and over the plain
Oh if you heard my heart heavily throb-
bing,
Under its burden of passion and pain
Now, at the gate, love;
Call, for l wait, love;
Call, and answer at breaking OF day;
Swift to your bosom,
Der hillside and blossom,

The Sendlmentary rocks of our A
lantic States aggregate thickness Of
5000 feet. The manner in which
the sand, gravel, mud, and so on,
which formed the rocks, was distrib-
uted over the bed of the sea which
rolled where our continent now lies.
proves beyond doubt that they came
from the north and east. They repre-
sent the detritus of pre-existing lands,
the washings of rains. rivers, coast
currents, and other agencies of ero-
sion; and since the areas supplying the
waste could scarcely have been of less
extent than the new strata it formed
it is reasonably inferred that land
masses of continental magnitude must
have occupied the region now covered
by the North Atlantic before America
begal to be, and onward at least
through the palaozoic ages Of Ameri-
can history.
tits not TO he imagined that the
ante American sea was 1900 feet
deep. When the earlier palHoZoic
strata were forming the water was
evidently shallow, and in some parts
broken by islands. From time to time
the sea was deepenedb by the sinking Of
its floor. and as the successive strata
were laid down the subsidences for
the most part more than kept pace
with the thickening deposits. Now
and again the movement was reversed,
as when the Green Mountain range
was upIifted; and occasionally deposit
ton exceeded subsistence. or slight
elevations brought the sea bed near
to the water level. Previous to the
carboniferous period evidehces of
shallow water are common. and after
that time successive low-ieyel land
areas repeatedly occupied the eastern
half of what is now the Mississippi
basin.
While the new America was thus
forming the ancient Atlantis was no
doubt sinking as well as washing
away. When Its final disappearance
occurred remains to he determined;
quite recently. however. two or three
lines of scientific research seem to
converge in support of the truth Of the

PROGRESS OF THE MISSISSIPPI
JETTY WORKS.

Captain EadS' latest report of prog
ress upon the improvement Of the
South Pass of the Mississippi river is
most gratifying and leaves no ques-
ton as to the ultimate triumphant
success of the entire great work.
Careful examinations have been con-
Quoted from time to time with the
result of showing steady increase in
width and depth of the channels, thus
bringing to Captain Eads' theories
the strongest confirmation. For two
years work has now been going on
upon an unused outlet of the vast riv-
er. Up to the present time the con-
| centration of the water flowing across
the sand bar at the mouth of the Pass
| by the jettieS has created a channel
over 200 feet wide and in no place less
than 20 feet deep, where only about
| 8 feet previously existed. The con
centratiOn of the water flowing over
| the shoal in the river at the head of
the Pass has otherwise created a
channel over 400 feet wide, in no por.
ton less than 20 feet deep and 80 feet
deep in the centre, where before the
depth was scarcely IA feet. During
the time in which the depth was
scarcely IA feet. During the time in
| which portion of the flow into the
Pass was interrupted by the works at
head, and while the current conse.
quently slackened. Captain Eads states
that temporary deposit took place in
the Pass and between the jetties. But
the gradual restoration Of the normal
| flow into the Pass through the new
channel at it's head has already begun
to enlarge the Pass again and, coEtin
ues the report. ''has, since this restor
ed flow commenced, removed from
between the jetties within the past
three months over half million cubic
yards of deposit, and given through
more than half the length of the jet
ties much larger and deeper channel
than ever previously existed, the size
of which is already throughout more
than 1900 feet, % feet by 300 feet. OF
that required to entitle us to the fifth
payment from the United States
while many hundred feet of it exceeds
80 feet by $50 feet"
The reformers of the bar in advance
of the jetties, which engineers believ
ed would occur, is effectually prevent
ed by the gulf current athwart the
mouth of the Pass, which deepens the
outer slope Of the bar and sweeps
away any such portion of the dis
charged sediment as the river current
fails to carry to unknown distances
seward. AT the head of the Passes
the river has width of over 1900
feet, and yet is brought under com
plete control by Captain Eads' works
which are so designed as to allow OF
the increase or limit of the discharge
into the South Pass # hereafter neces
sary with but little additional outlay
Captain Eads concludes his report anC
at the same time announces the SPLEEN
did success which has crowned this
application to his genius and ability in
the following terms:
Il may add with absolute certainty
that this entire system of works is
now so far completed that no financial
difficulties can intervene to arrest the
processes Of nature which are con
stantly operating to enlarge and per
feet the desired channel through
| them.
