fined to An aggregate length OF nearly two hun
dred miles OF the shoalest water below Cairo
embracing the following localities. viz: New
Madrid. Plum Point. Memphis, Helena. Ohoc

The estimates are intended to cover the cost
OF works for contracting the channel and for
securing and protecting the banks: for the
necessary outfit OF boats. tugs. TOOLS ETC., to
carry on the work for local surveys; the sala-

A Narrow Escape.

During the winter of 1866 the writer
was connected with a United States sur.
vey company, engaged in remarking and
stalking the international line between
the upper British provinces and lands be,
longing to the United States, near the
Red river of the North, on TERRITORY
known at that time as Northern Mime
sofa, 1t was here that the following ad-
venture, which | am about to relate. oc-
cured.
A company of three of us had been
sent by the chief to explore a medium
sized lake, through which the interna-
tional survey line ran. Our business
was to ascertain how much of the lake
lay within Uncle Sans limits.
We left camp about two o'clock in the
afternoon, and after weary tramp of
five miles through forest, our way oh.
structed by logs and undcrbrush, we ar
rived on the shores of the lake. It was
dismal place. No habitations were
near-nothlng met the eyes but the level
stretch OF ice upon the surface of the
lake, and wilderness of tall pines.
spruce and birch, surrounding it on all
sides.
Some time was consumed in finding
the marks left by former surveying
company, and ascertaining the course
marked out across the lake. But at length
this was accomplished, and we pre-
pared TO start for camp, being at the
lower end OF the lake, or the point farth
est from camp. One Of my companions,
whom shall call Leighton, had brought
his skates. Inever left camp without
mine, not knowing how many weary
footsteps they might save me, for the
country was nearly one-third swamps
and small lakes.
But the third man of our party had no
skates. He was good-natured, rollick.

variety. We found Mrs. Hearsey to be
brimful of hospitality and we spent q
most delightful fore noon at her house.
Tuesday evening we dined with Mrs.
1atchford, and in company With General
Jastremski, several other editors and
our brilliant hostess, We all went to the
press ball. Here we were joined by the
handsomest man in the legislature,
Senator Parlange, and you'd hardly
believe it Of sober couple like Tom
and /, but We staid at that ball until
nearly two O'Clock. Tom says he never
dissipated so much in all his life, but
have my doubt about that.
l asked no end of questions about the
capitol, and find that the grand entrance
will be from the town side of the build
ing and not from the river. The
architecture of the former building was
little faulty, it is said, inasmuch as
the roof was too low for the heighth Of
the four towers but Mr.. Freret will
obviate this by raising the roof higher
and placing a square keepers outlook in
the centre. Ugh! whenever think of
Senator Hagan it puts my teeth on edge.
The work is going on finely but slowly,
owing, l suppose, to the fact that the
contractors are not offering higher wages
than two dollars and half a day for
good workmen.
l could have staid week in the Uni
versity buildings, the library and
museums were so interesting to me.
Such handsome young cadet showed
Us through the buildings, and when we
came away we ladies all threw him a
kiss. l don't know what Col. Boyd
must have thought of Us. Col. Johnston,
the new superintendent, had not vet
arrived. was glad to learn that many
OF the citizens of Baton Rouge, and, in
deed, many Of the editors of the conven.
ton, seemed disposed to think that Col.
Boyd's unfortunate troubles at the Uni
versity largely resulted from his having
too much to attend to, and too many
duties devolving upon him.
Well, l did want to tell you some.
thing about the editors, but l have
come to the end of my paper. You
will be surprised to learn that several
of them told me there is no reason why
the editor of parish paper shouldn't
make from $1,000 to $4,000 a year of
clear gains.
Tom and l made many new friends
and found several old ones, among the
latter was Mr.. Linden E. Bentley, editor
of the Donalsonville Chief, and his wife
who is one of the most brilliant women
at repartee have ever met.
Indeed, since have been to this press
convention, l don't wonder at the charm
there is about newspaper life, and the
wonder to me is, that more of nv sex.
who have to earn their living, do not
attempt to do so with the pen, instead
OF at the unremunerative grind of the
sewing woman's or school teachers life.
l am told that fewer women send ori.
ginal articles to the New Orleans news
papers than in any other city of like
size in the country. There must be one
of two reasons for this.

Why Life is a Disappointment.

Life is a disappointment, chiefly be-
cause those who are starting in it over
esti ate their own strength and under
ratf hat of their competitors. Sell
sufhci ncy and ignorance are the pio-
neers of defeated expectations The
lOoker-on is not disappointed; it is the
actor who is. 0verweening self-conii-
dence refuses to see difficulties; and
thus the preparation which might over.
come them is neglected The defeat
is crushing because it was deemed I'M
possible. Presumption and arrogance
have burned the bridges and left no og,-
portunity to gather the shattered for
ces by retreat. There seems to be Ho
help for these blunders; each genera
ton must learn for itself. There Is q
point where teaching ends and expert
ence begins. 1t Is this which has set
bounds to human knowledge. No man
can take up the work of another.
Where it has been left there it must re-
main The father cannot give or be
queath the child his experience, as he
can his property. Men may vaunt
themselves as they will, but there y
limit 10 their power; and that hmlt
seems i'm some cases to have been
reached in one man. Shakespeare and
Bacon have had no successors. No
man has been able TO take up theiT
work where they left it. So far as
