WILMINGTON, DEL, March 26.-The en-
gine of ::the fast southern mail, due here
at 7:55 this morning, ran into the open
draw of the Brandywine bridge, near this
city, falling on and sinking canal boat
which was passing through. The cngi-

from the train and were unhurt. George
H. Goodwin, captain of the cana! boat
had his leg slightly injured. The train
became detached from the locomotive and
the cars stopped before reaching the draw.
The draw tender claims that his signals
were all right.

THE LAST RESTING-PLACE

Lake View cemetery, where Presi-
dent Gar6eld's remains have been
laid to rest, embraces three hundred
acres on the south side of Euclid
Ave-, beyond the east limit of Cleye-
land, five miles from the business
centre of the city. On the other
side of the avenue is Wade park,
and in close proximity the site
where the new Western Reserve
university buildings are being erect
ted. Nature seems to have designed
this spot for the purpose to which it
is devoted; all that art and money
could do to enhance the natural
beauties has been done. The
grounds are owned by an incor-
porated association of Cleveland
gentlemen of wealth and refinement,
Incorporated under the law which
requires all gains or profits from the
sales of lots or otherwise to be APP
propriated 70 perpetual adornment
and repair of the cemetery. The
land was purchased ten years ago
and laid ont by landscape designers
and engineers selected for eminence
in their professions. Wooded hills.
grassy wales, secluded hooks, wind
ing drives, sinuous walks, running
brooks, and quiet lakes are the
landmarks.

FEEDING THE RUSSIAN
ARMY.

The recent improvements in the
organization of the Russian army
have extended to the food as well
as to the arms and discipline of its
soldiers, and the days rations of a
Russian private of 1881, rough as
it is, would have been thought abso-
lutte luxury by his halt-starved
predecessor of tie last generation.
The farinanceous ration in time of
war is little over two pounds of
hard black biscuit per day; in peace
it is the same amount of wheat or
barley -four and buckwheat Cruel,
the utter being much esteemed by
the Russian peasantry. Four days
in tue week (the other three being
fasts by the rules of the Greek
Church) each man receives half a
pound of meat per day, exclusive of
bone, with certain amount of tea,
vegetables, spirits, etc. Few men,
however, are 50 independent of
supplies as the ordinary Russian
The military annals of the Circas-
sian war have preserved the fame of
a regiment which tasted for three
days and fought q battle on the
fourth. A still more surprising
and curious event occurred during
Suvarotf's Swiss campaign III 1893.
When the hslf-staryed Russians
poured into the village of Ander-
matt, of whose famous cheese they
had heard SO many stories, thei.
first proceeding was to devour the
contents of a large store filed with
what they supposed to be the dainty
in question, and then falling upon
the French they beat them back
across the Reuss. When Suvaroff,
after the battle, praised the vaior
of his men, one o. them modest at

before the Police Judge for cursing

demise reached the city. "You are
the most depraved man that I have
ever seen" said the Judge. II don't
know how to express the contempt
which a community feels for you.
Such q wretch does not deserve
compassion. No one can sympa-
thize with you. In iull possession
of your senses, strictly sober, you
have TT red sentiments chat shock
the sensibility of this city. I fine
you $25. the full extent of the law;

LETTER FROM TANGIPAHOA
PARISH.
TAHGIPAHoA, Sept. %, 1881.
DIToR ST.. TAMMASY FARMER:

:
EDITOR ST.. TAMMASY FARMER:
l respectfully ask SPACE in your
valuable paper to note few i'm
provements IN the parish of Tangi-
pahoa. Having, some years since,
occasion to pass through the parish,
Wien the stream bearing that name
Was not navigable for greater dis
lance than Lees landing, about
twelve miles from the mouth, but
which, since then, has been dredyed
out. is now navigable for distance
of thirty miles.
There ere two saw mills being
erected on the river, which will be
advantageous to timber owners, at
the same time giving employment
to a great number of men. In
freightlng lumber to New Orleans,
the river will be kept open and the
bar or shoal at the mouth will be
deepened, thereby, in the course of
a few years, rendering it nsvigable
even for the largest steamers.
Crops In tue Southern portion of
the parish, as a general thing, have
matured splsndidIy. considering the
disadvantage of the drouth; but i'll
the northern portion, on some
farms, there vii! scarcely be made
ten bales of cotton, where fifteen
were calculated on.
Sugar cane has not been injured
much.
Were cotton gin erected in the
lower portion of the parish, ther.
would be greater amount Of cot
ton raised; but owing to the dis
lance which it must he conveyed to
be ginned. cotton raising is almost
entirely laid aside.
A great deal more could be said,
but for the lack of time.
Respectfully, ANfOBsERvER.
