Harrison, Of indianapolis, and
Gen, Comstock, Of Detroit, asyn.
opsis Of which has bcen procured
by your correspondent. It holds
that levees are Of very little vslus
In improving tho low wator Of ths
river; that bad navigation arisea
from excessive low water ct GER
tain places, and It must DO cured
BY contracting such . low water
width to about 5000 feet. This
contraction must be effected BY
work IN tho bed Of the river, and
not by levee& 'on top Of the banks
out Of contact with low VA tel
river.
Tie signors admit tho necessity y
Of levees In protesting alluvial
lands against destruction BY over
Aow, and TO obtain this protec'
tIon they advise the closing oi such
gaps - now exist, because Of the
lack Of experience IN the improve
lnsnt Of streams by the method

False Reasoning.

Suppose machine should fail to
perform its work, and the owner, in-
stead of trying to ascertain the cause
of failure and remedy it, should con-
clude to run right along, and argue
that as tbe machine had heretofore
come around all right it would soon
be 50 again. If general and per-
manent breakdown eDsued could any
body be blamed but himself? Now,
precisely this way do people act and
argue when the "huuap machine" is
out of order. When the liver is 'tor-
pid' and bowels constipated every one
knows that DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets afford prompt and per-
manent relief. Yet some guess the
"machine' will come around all right,
and do nothing. Could any system
of false reasoning be more peruicious .?
Suppose the blood be out of order and
there be pimples, ulcers, or running
sores with scrofulous tumors, swell
ings and general debility, and those
thus affected should refuse to use DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
guessing that the blood would purify
itself, could any body be blamed but
themselves, if general and perma-
nent break down of health ensued ?
No remedy yet known equals the Dis.
covery in curing all scrofulous, throat,
bronchial and lung diseases. Sold by
druggists.

ObSE9SO2'eS.

Mrs. FANNIE PERMEL1A Sligo, was born
Nov. 18th, 1858, and died Oct. Goth, 1880.
She joined the church in early youth, and
professed change of heart in her 18th year,
and lived as though her motto was, quality,
and not quantity constitutes a pure church.
She was happily married to G. Med. Sigh,
about FIVE years ago, around whom her whole
life-in regard TO this Worid-secmed to he
entwined. She was to him all that heart
could desire. Around the freside, as well
as abroad, she exhibited the character of q
noble, high-;oned christian woman. She
was pleasant and agreeable, and always ap-
peareG happy; and exenpli6ed the charac-
ter Of q true Christian. During her last i'll
ness, which was of several months duration,
she suffered excruciating pain, but bore it
all with true christian resignation, without
murmur or sigh, and said that she was
"willing to suffer if it was the will Of God. !"
She was often heard to repeat the beautiful
lines of Mr.. Bliss. waiting and watching"
She died as she had endeavored to live, .ull
of hope, Of Jesus, Of heaven; and while
passing away said II will soon cross the
River" She leaves an influence behind her
for good; and character that we would do
well to initiate. Especially to her bereaved
husband who is left alone, and to her family
and friends we extend our hearty sympathy,
and say that we mourn not as those who
have no hope.
Servant Of God, we'll doneI
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle Tough: the victory won,
Enter thy Masters joy"

Isabella Mccullough, known also
as Madame Brignoli, died in New
York the 1st instant. She was born
in Newberry County, South Carroll
ma; received her musical education
at Barhamville, near Columbia, IN
der Prof. Torriani and then went
on the stage as a singer. She was
married to Brignoli, the celebrated
tenor, in 1868 OF 8, and after six
years got a divorce and resumed
her maiden name. For few years
past she has been singing in church
choirs in New York city; at the
time of her death she was chief So
prano in st. Stephens.

The Solid South. What Now

Before the smoke has cleared
away or the noise and confusion OF
battle has subsidized men are laying
plans and policies for the next
Presidential campaign with as much
earnestness and as much particu-
larity as if the next election were
only four months, instead of four
years, of. This can be accounted
for in this way. It is not altogeth-
or the decentralization of defeat; it
is not the opinion of day or q
week; it is not a sudden thought
born Of defeat, But it is the result
of calm and long deliberation. The
bulk Of the Southern people went
into this campaign reluctantly.
They had experienced and knew
the intensity of sectional feeling !;
they knew how deep-seated in the
Northern heart was the hatred and
jealousy toward the South, and they
had learned from the experience of
1861, and from that of 1876, that
even with the Northern Democracy
the sectional feeling was stronger
than party feeling, and that all that
party cared for, so far as the South
was concerned, was the 1873 electo-
raj votes of this section to lift them
into power. Many prominent
Southerners went into the cam
paign with the idea, If we don't
succeed this time there is no use to
continue the struggle longer. And
il is this idea that is now. forcing
itself to the surface and finding ex-
preston. IF the Democracy, with
such man as Hancock, cannot
beat the Republicans, with such a
man as Garfield, it does look like a
hopeless struggle, and that it is
folly to continue the National fight
longer. But what will the South
do? Atthe present time the wisest
course seems to be for the South
TO let National politics alone and
devote her attention exclusively to
local affairs. A sssolid South" makes
a solid North, and in that position
her whole 1873 votes pass for naught.
It is the opinion of many Of our
most intelligent men that the South
should not ally itself with any Ma
tional organization ; that she should
hereafter choose electors not pledg-
ed to any candidate or any party,
so that these votes can be given to
that party, whatever it's name, or
to- that candidate that will give us
the best terms.
We believe though that it is too
soon yet to lay plans and policies
for the future. There is plenty of
time, and it is better to await de-
velopments., There is no telling
