The last system proposed for
the Improvement Of the Mississ1p-
pi River is an engineering project
of extraordinary magnitude. The
object to be accomplished is, in
brief, to collect the vast volume
of water furnished by the spring
floods of the numerous streams
and lakes constituting the head
waters Of the river into immense
reservoirs, for the purpose Of main
tanning a steady depth OF four
feet in the upper Mississippi from
July to November. To do this
will require the construction Of
forty-one dams, seven on the up
per Mississippi, fourteen on the
St. Croix, twelve on the Chippe-
wa. and eight on the Wisconsin.
The first set Of dams will be To-
Gated at the outlets of Lakes Win
nobagesish, Leech, Mudd, and Yer
million. and at Pokegama Falls,
Gull Lake, and Pine River. The
total holding capacity Of these
reservoirs will equal in extent an
unbroken sea of 400 square miles,
with a uniform depth of eight feet.
The plan specifies that all the res
ervoirs shall be constructed OF
earth and wood, no suitable stone
being found in the region in sufi-
cient quantity. Congress has al.
ready granted an appropriation
for beginning the work at Lake
Winnebagesish, where it is pro-
posed to build a dam sixteen feet
high. The total cost Of dams,
including telegraph lines for oper'
ating them, is set down at less
than 81 800, oOO.-Ex.

A TRIBUTE TO THE SOUTH.-At
a lunch given by the Seventv-frst
New York Regiment upon the
arrival at home of their comrades
who visited the Mardi Gras at
New Orleans, Col. Vose, in res
ponding to a toast, said that their
reception at the South had been
as "whole souled and hearty as it
would have been in any Part of
the country" that the people they
met were as firm Union men as
could be found in the North, and
that should the country be involv.
ed in another war, the Seventy.
first Regiment of Louisiana, the
Seventy-frst of Tennessee, and
the Seventy first of New York
would fight shoulder to shoulder,
no matter who the common enemy
might be.-Baltimore Sun.

Changing Names.

New York letter to Cincinnati Gazette.
Another aspect of fashion Is
shown in the changes OF a name.
Some persons of the extensive TAM
lily of Smith have improved the
above mentioned fashion so as to
modify their unacceptable titles.
A Mr.. John Howard Smith now
writes his name J. Howardsmith,
which his family considers an i'm
provement. In the same manner
Roswell Smith becomes Roswell.
smith. Another instance is found
in the family of the famous sur
geon DR.. James Marion Sims. He
wrote his name ]. Marion Sims,
bnt his children have altered it
into Marionsims, thus compound
ing two names into one. Other
transformations, however, Of a
similar character have formerly
occurred in society. The German
baker, HUM, had a family of sons
who became fashionable, and there
fore, called themselves Hone, a
name which once held distinction
in social life.
The Jew Jacobs has under
similar pressure been turned into
Jacot, which has a French sound.
August Belmont was Shonberg
when he came to this country but
he Immediately adopted the much
prettier name by which he has
since been known. Frank Leslie
was Henry Carter in London, but
the change in his case was in order
to assist in secrecy. The late
Henry Wilson was the only one
of our vice-presidents that changed
his name, and as the latter was
Joshua Goliath | am not surprised
that he disliked it.
Another still more striking In
stance of an alteration occasioned
by antipathy Is found in the history
of Robert Treat Paine, Jr. His
father was one Of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence.
He was also an admirer of the au.
thor of the "Crisis," whose name
he gave to a babe born during
those troublous times. When the
latter reached manhood The Age
of Reason" was published and its
author fell into disgrace. This
led Thomas Paine, Jr., to adopt
the name of his father, an ac+
being passed for that purpose by
the Legislature.

MisfOrtunes of COnfede-
rate General.

1t is a melancholy fact that
almost every General who died or
was killed died in poverty
brought about by his devotion.
Raphael and Paul Semmes both
died poor, bnt a daughter of the
former married Luke f. Wright,
a promising and prosperous law
yer. Gen. Zollicofer left nothing
to a family of five daughters, but
they have all married but one, and
have married we'll. Gen. Pillows
death caused the sale of his house
and library, which, however, his
friends re-bought by subscription.
Gen. 4. G. Hindman, who
was assassinated, left nothing at all
but the people of Helena loved
and respected him. His family has
many friends. Gen. Dick Taylor
died poor, and his two daughters
are living with his sister at
Warrenton. His book did not
pay anything Of account. Gen.
"Stopewall" Jackson left his wife
and daughter without means, but
his name has raised friends for
them, of whom Mr.. Wade Bolton
Memphis, l think, left them five
thousand dollars in his will. Gen.
Polk left nothing to his family,
bat his son, Dr.. Polk, has an i'm
mense practice and distinguished
character in New York. Gen.
Bushrod johnson let only one
son, who is doing we'll, aud Gen.
Forrest, who left but little, left it
with a thrifty and prosperous son,
who makes all that is needed. Gen.
Ewell's wife had about 800, 900
worth Of property in St. Louis, I
think, which was saved from
coniscation, She died within three
days Of the husband. Gen Bragg
died without property, and his
wife lives with her sister in New
Orleans. The history of Gen.
Hoods children is part of the
history Of the country. Gen. D.. Fl.
Cooper died in poverty and his
wife lives with her daughter in
Texan, l believe. Major Gen. W.
H. G. Whiting, Of Fort Fisher
fame, who died in Washington
prison in 1864, left nothing, and
Gen. L. N. Walker, who was
killed in a duel with Mar.
maduke, left bnt little to his
wife, who now lives in Charlottes.

a chevalier was there left to
