KEEP BAYOU MANCHAC CLOSED.

EDITOR CAPITOLIAN-An article hay
ing appeared in your paper fayoring the
opening of Bayou Manchac, and know
ing that you are disposed to have the
subject fairly discussed and properly
represented to the public, the writer
begs leave to request place in your
valuable paper to the annexed report of
Captain Linnard, of the u. S. Corps
Typographical Engineers, and commu-
nication of Mr.. McMath to the st. Louis
Democrat, published in 1868, embody-
ing the substance of the report of one of
our former State Engineers, Mr.. Wool
bridge, assisted in his survey by Mr.. G.
r. w. Bailey, one of the ablest engin-
GERS this State ever produced. These ar
ticles, although published some years
ago, speak for themselves, and ought to
satisfy any practical mind Of the utter
folly of attempting to make available
for any purposes of navigation, the route
proposed through to Mobile by Manchac,
Amite and the lakes, for, supposing the
plan ofmalling series of locks is adopt
ed, does any one suppose that the boats
plying upon the Mississippi River would
venture upon the Lakes ? The Conse-
quence would be that boats suitable for
canal and lake navigation would have
to be constructed, and those of light
draft, for, by reference to Latourrette'
map of louisiana, the s0undings in Lake
Maurepas, at the mouth of the Amite Riv-
er,are only four feet, a reshipment ofcar,
goes on these small crafts would be nee,
essary, and would involve greater eX.
pense than reshipping on good sized
boats at New Orleans, and if it becomes
necessary that water communication
should be established between Mobile
and New Orleans and in the interest o
our Metropolis, why not select some
point near Kennerville above Carrollton
and open q canal through to Lake Pont
chartrain, which would not be over fiy,
miles through it to nine feet of water
and would require locks with not one
third the lift of those at Manchac. If
however, there be objections to thi
route, and none to passing by New Or
leans, what could be the objection tt
adopting as location for a canal tina

WITT is not quite as tall as his father
was, being slightly under six feet, but
deep-chested, broad-shouldered and of
great strength. Intellectually and
morally he is better man than his IA
Their, being firm, vigorous, full of energy
and extremely simple and domestic in
his habits. The Czarowitz was never q
favorite with his father. When but u
boy the unexpected death of his elder
brother made him heir to the throne, to
the great disgust Of Alexander. Froni
the time he came Of age the Czarowitz
opposed himself to the imperial policy,
becoming the advocate of reform and
proposing legislative assembly for
Russia. OF late years very unfriendly
feelings existed between father and son
in consequence Of the marriage Of the
latter toa favorite countess Of the court.
A compromise was arrived at, some time
ago, by which the Czarowitz agreed to
cease his opposition to their marriage If
his father would retire from the cares OF
state. The new Gar has generally been
deemed an advocate of extending pop
ular rights and privileges in Russia, and
| his wife has made herself extremely
loved in Poland by her efforts to aid the
people of that unfortunate country. 1t
remains to be seen, however, whether
he is earnest in this. The Romanoff'
family has seemed a cursed one. Father
and son have always hated each other,
and the heir to The throne has always
been an opponent Of the Emperor, and
nominally q reformer. AS soon, how

The new Gar has the reputation Of being
a man Of violent temper, abrupt and
without cordiality. Whether he will

greatly to be doubted.-N. 0. Democrat.

BAYOU MANCHAC..
City Item.


The Baton Rouge CApIT0LrAN staten
that party Of U. S. surveyors have re-
Gently been taking the levels Of Bayou
Manchac with view Of reporting upon
the feasibility Of opening the natural
channel to the navigation Of lake and
river craft. Our contemporary suggests
in this connection that by a system Of
locks, the navigation Of the Bayou could
be so restored that river steamboats,
could reach the rich timber lands around
Lake Maurepas, and that Lake Pontchar-
train and the Mississippi Sound would
be within few hours distance Of Baton
Rouge. In connection with this matter
a suggestion has been made by city
print as to the probable result Of reopen
ing the bayou and permitting the water
to flow through, unimpeded by locks. 4
The reply is that by opening the bayou
the river and the lakes would be restored
to their original relationship, and not
only would an important commercial
connection be established, but the river
at all points below the entrance of the
bayou would be materially relieved dur
ing periods Of high water. The govern
ment survey, to which our contemporary
refers, isprobably prompted by the re-
marks of Prof. Fontaine in his great
work on hydraulics and drainage which
was accepted and published by the gov
elnment at Washington.
1t will be remembered that the bayou
vas closed by Gen. Jackson in 1914 as =
military measure; that previously it had
afforded anavigable connection between
Lake Maurepas and the river, and, an
Lake Maurepas was connected with
lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne, it at
forded an Independent outlet to the
Gulf Prior to the closing of the bayou
the navigation of these lakes was better
than it was to-day, and tradition de-
: clares that the fsAings in Lake Pont-
chartrain was better. Open the bayou
, and nature would at once put her forces
into operation to restore the original
conditions. Locks would be an impe-
diment, and, to a large extent, would
: impair the advantages of reopening.
Of course some new leyees would be re,
CURED along the bayou after the new
outlet had obtained an effective head
way; but great valuable land would
be restored to cultivation, and the ad-
!, vantages of the work would be gener-
ally appreciated.
Lake Maurcpas is nearly circular and
whilst whirling around in that extern
sive basin the bayou water used to drop
o a large portion of the sediment brought
from the river and was comparatively
clear when it passed into Lake Pont-
chartrain and, still more so, when it
passed through the Rigolets into Lake
Borgne.
. Should the proposed Improvement be
effected the lake front of the city would
he greatly increased in it's commercial
Importance, and breakwater Of con-
siderable extent would be necessary at
some point Oh the lake shore as o harbor
defence against storms.

LOUIS S. UPMAN in Christian at Work.

All! good wife, have you forgotten
Days when you were young and fair
Time of rosy cheeks and dimples,
Time of sunny, golden hair
Not thought of toll could vex us,
Grief or care we did not know;
You and were young together,
Five and twenty years ago.
In the strength of hopeful manhood,
1.-the and straight and tall | stood;
And YOU waited close beside Inc,
Crowned with blooming womanhood;
Now, lites twilight shades are falling,
While the years crowd on apace,
And on heart and form and feature
Care and grief have left their trace.
We have heard the church bell tolling,
We have filed pale hands with flowers,
We have robed our precious darlings
For the graves dark lonely hours;
We have seen the wee chairs vacant
aged friends we've bid good.by;'
Der green graves we've wcpt together
All! how often you and l
But the summer bloom is followed
BY the 'sere and yellow leaf,"
And the golden harvest comes not
Till we break the burdened sheaf;
Hearts may ovein sunny weather,
When youths freshest roses glow;
That can i'll betde the waiting
For the ripening years of snow
But the rapture OF loves morning
Brightens still our noon.tido ray,
And Hope paints glorious sunset
For our last declining day;
And long or short the journey
That our tagging feet may know,
Love is ours, the love we plighted
Five and twenty years ago.

adds: "And when Mr.. B. says so and SO,

fore the Manchac was closed, carried
the river water into La Espegnol, over
flowing lands almost to New River.
The same lands are now drained BY
it into Manchac. About mile below
Bayou Crocodile enters Bayou Fontaine
from the north. After receiving the
latter, Bayou Manchac becomes thirty
yards wide, and from seven to ten feet
deep. From Bayou Fontaine to the con-
fuence of Manchac and the Amite River
distance of ten or twelve miles, there
is much fallen timber in the stream, and
many hanging trees on the banks. This
is the only navigable part of the Bayou
Manchac. 1t may be cleaned out and
made practicable for schooners at cost
of six thousand dollars. In this esti
mate is included the removal of timber
from the banks TOR space-of forty feet
in breadth.
In February, 1885, the Legislature of
Louisiana passed an act to inquire into
the expediency Of opening at the former
mouth or any other point an outlet from
the Mississippi into Bayou Manchac. l
have not been able to procure the report
on the subject, but it may be supposed
that it was found to be inexpedient, as
the bayou remained closed. While it
continues so it serves, with Bayou FOn-
tame and Crocodile, to drain extensive
tracts of sugar land, which can be
brought under cultivation without the
necessity of making levees.
If the Mississippi water were admitted
freely into Bayou Manchac, the lands on
those bayous would greatly depreclate in
value, and the most serious injury to the
plantations on the riversouth Of Manchac
would ensue. The navigation would be
of no public utility if all the trees, logs,
and slumps We're cleared out. No boat
of any description now used on the Mis-
sissippi could pass through the upper
portion of it. If it possessed the requi'
site breadth, the impetuosity of the cur
rent would present sufficient objection
That it would be vastly more rapid thar
the current of the river as will be seen OF
inspection of the distances to tide water
by the river and the bayou. The bed O.
the bayou at its head being fifteen feet
above low water mark in the river, ne
water would enter it during severa
, months of the year.
To reopen the bayou would inhict Sc
rious injury upon the inhabitants resi-
ding near it, perhaps occasional contro
versy between the General Government
and the State of Louisiana and yet b'
productive of no advantage to the pub
tic that | can perceive. ] would, there
fore. respectfully recommend that TIL
obstruction at the former entrance from
the Mississippi into Bayou Manchac b'
not removed.
The cost Of re-opening and cleanln!
ont the bayou from the Mississippi II
the Amite river would amount to thir
teen thousand dollars.

Mr.. r. Z. McMath communicates the
following to the st. Louis Democrat of
the Goth ult:
As. in the discussion of the project of
opening Bayou Manchac, no consdera-
tons bearing on the engineering branch
of the subject have been presented that
seem to be based upon reliable informa-
ton, suppose that few facts and fig
ures will not be amiss.
Great as may be the commercial ad-
vantages which may be expected from
the project, it's actual accomplishment
depends upon the result of surveys and
investigations; if we may anticipate
a favorable result to such surveys, they
should be made; but if we have infor-
nation within our reach that shows the
scheme to be impracticable to survey
would be a waste of time and money.
As local interests are deeply involved
in this project, statements coming from
sources likely to be influenced by such
considerations are not to be received
without question. Fortunately, that
which offer comes from witnesses who
cannot be impeached, and as name my
authority, any one interested may de-
termine for himself the faithfulness OF
my rendering of their testimony.
