The wrecks OF the wharfboat Katie
and of the Fair Play are serious i'm
pediments to steamboats, in landing,
and something must necessarily be
done for their removal, else our river
interests will suffer. The Katie can
not be replaced until her wreck is re-
moved, and the Fair Play wreck pre-
vents steamers from landing at the
cotton yard landing with safety. So
soon as the river recedes sufficiently,
we suggest that the wharfboat be to-
tally consumed by fire and as to the
wreck of the Fair Play, that will be
removed, we presume, by Capt.
Blanks, who has purchased it, so soon
as the removal becomes practicable,
which will soon occur, barring another
rise. There are two or three tons of
iron on the whartboat, enough to pay
for the wreclsing, we imagine.

was issued with +. A. Hall and John

cost was about $4,000 Mr.. Ennemoscr,

in this Office, which is all that remains
here of ante-bellum printing material

April 10Th, 1874.

Tuesday of the current week was the
9TH anniversary of the highest water
Of tine memorable and unparalleled
overflow of 1874, when full $50 families
of this city had water on their lots and
when that portion Of town not over
flowed, sat on an Island about D miles
long by halfa-mile in width. Where
the Court sits to-day was then the
quarters of several families driven
from home by the overflow. Trenton,
it will be remembered, though so feet
above low-water mark, was submerg-
ed entirely, from s inches to s feet in
depth. "To see a lady sewing on the
front gallery" said the chronicler then,
'intent on her needle, with lot of
children playing around her, and two
feet.of water under the floor and the
tlooH roaring in her cars so loud that
she could not even blow the old man
up, was a common and very pleasing
spectaclc.' Some Of you remember
tho flowing and blcating cows and
calves, and bells of every tone .ingling
in strange uiscord; the inccssant bang
of shot guns in the rear of Monroe
the unclaimed horses and mules
swarming everywhere and breaking
through enclosures the thousand and
one varieties of water crafts, and all
that. BE consoled with the rccollec-
tios, since you will hardly ever see a
recurrence of that disastrous overflow.

Excursion up the ouachtt,,.

Ga the Z. A. Blanks, trip of last
week, there was u party of ladies aud
gentlemen, from Point Coupee parish,
who came up the Ouachita Oh an ex-
cursion. Though somewhat out Of the
usual route of excursionists, we vcntur re
to say that the trip up our river, one
of the prettiest in the South, afforded
our Coast visitors unexpected pleasure
and valuable Information respecting
North Louisiana of which they were
not in possession. The party consisted
of the following named ladies and
gentlemen: o. Lacour and wife, T..
Lacour and wife, Miss Barbre, Miss
Burton, Mrs. Browning, w. T. Coyle,
j. p. Chandler, Messrs. Perkins, Cork
cry, Hill, Blum, Roegan and Brown.
With such elegant packets as the
Blanks and such lovely scenery as the
Ouachita presents, we wonder that in |
this balmy, blossoming weather there
is not every week excursionists from
the Coast up this way. We have not
a few inhabitants here whose mother
tongue and diet are gumbo, and we
can, therefore, lay claim to greater at
tentions than we have as yet been
shown by our southern kinsmen.

Health of the City.

There have been four or five cases of
scarlet fever in Shreveport, one of
which proved fatal, and the whooping
cough is at Earmerville. Monroe be-
ing in daily communication with both
of these places, parents and physicians
may reasonably regard slight coughs
and fevers with more than usual care
where the patient has been exposed to
either of the diseases named.
The measles has very near run its
course in town, without causing but
three or four deaths in population,
subject to the disease; of several hun-
dred, many of whom are adults. The
last fatal case was that Of the little
babe of Judge and Mrs. Liddell, the
fatal effects following relapse. In
much the greater number OF cases, the
attacks were so light rs to leave some
doubt whether the patient really had
the disease, though all the symptoms
We're there, but not the surface erup-
tions.
We counsel the city authorities, in
advance of hot weather, to give strict
attention to the drainage and other
sanitary regulations of the city. One
or two warm days have shown that
there is :: necessity already for Il
thorough cleansing of cutters, back
yards, and vacant lots, the common
receptacle for all imaginable refuse.

FL CURING ON THE APPORTIONMENT OF
REPREsENTATION.-T Boston AdUertiscr
has been figuring out the results as they
would be distributed among the several
States of Congressional npportionment
under the present census and suns up as
follows:
"The number 1SO, 900 would only further
take away three Northern and four South.
ern members, the losing States being Con
necticut, Florida, Illinois, New York, Vr
ginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Blu,
the quota 100, 900 would further take ava,
nine Northern and only six Southern mem
bers, leaving 164 to the North and 81 tc
the South. That is to say, it the South i:
willing to lose nine of its present members
it can deprive the North of twenty-thrce o
| its members. 1t can do still :tter by Civ.
ing up three more and taking ten from the
North by fixing the quota n, 100000. If
f that were done the changes from the pres
ent representation would be as follows In
the North the losses would be Maine 2
New Hampshire /, Vermont l, Mnssachu-
setts 2. Rhode Island !, Connecticut +, New
York 8, New jersey l, Pennsylvania 6,
Ohio 4, Michigan l, Indiana 3, Illinois 4
Wisconsin i, Iowa 1, Minnesota ana Ne.

In the South, the losing States would be
Alabama 2, Florida 1, Georgia /, Kentuck y
2, Louisiana 1, Maryland I, Missouri 2,
North Carolina /, Tennessee 2, Vhgiuia
1. Texas would gain 2. Under such an
apportionmcnt the majority of Northern
members would be but 60 instead of 81
as at present, and yet the membership
of the House would be reduced by onl,
