GINEYRA ALVERETTA's MERRY
CHRISTMAS.

I don't believe there could have been
ahappier or a jollier family than the Pie
family since first the world be an. From
the grandfather and grandmother down
to the six-months old baby, whose laugh
was a comical crow, they laughed from
the time they got up until they went to
bed again; and so, as you may mag
inc, there was always plenty OF noise in
their home; but when on holidays they
felt it their duty to be, if possible, a lit
tie jollier than usual, it was deafening.
Fortunately they had no neighbors to
be annoyed by it, living as they did on
a corner at the very top Of a Ia build
ing filled with business Offices, the near
est dwelling -house, a large house di-
yided into fats, being three doors away
The Pies-they were colored people
took care OF the building in which
they lived, Poppy pie sbeir.g janitor.
and the rest of the family dong the
sweeping, scrubbing, busting and win
dow washing; and besides receiving
good wages tor their services, they were
allowed the use of the loft as resi-
dence; and having partitioned it off into
several rooms, principally by means of
sundry quilts and blankets, they found
it a very comfortable place to live in
But in spite of the good wages and no
rent to pay, they could only afford the
plainest kind of food and the cheapest
clothes, for there were eight Of them to
be taken care Of. Grandpoppy and
Grandmommy Pie, Mr.. and Mrs. Re-
liable Pie, better known as Poppy and
Mommy Pie, Berethea, the eldest girl,
usually called Berry Pie. = Americas,
the eldest boy, nicknamed "Custard
Pie, Ginevra Alveretta, six years
old Christmas eve. and always
called by her whole name, and
the baby, christened in honor OF the
minister, Brother Smile Jorkins.
The roofs Of the buildings. on the
block Of which the. Pie house was the
first or the last one according to the
way you approached It, were nearly on
"a level, and many of them during flow.
er time were made fragrant BY pretty.
flowers growing in boxes filled with
earth. III 81 q i
Grandpoppy Pie had raised cucum-
bers and beans also in his. boxes, and
he actual came near raising a water
melon in half barrel once, but Ginevra
Alyeretta ate it when it was about the
size of tea-cup; and this performan e
soi hers was the only thing she had ever
done since she was born that the family
.didn laugh at. The Pie children used
to spend all the time their father and
mother could allow them on their roof
in pleasant weather. They could sac
the sun rise and set ID all it's glory there
lust as well as though they were in the.
country, and watch the steamboats,
from the New York piers across the.
wide waters until they reached the OPP
posite shores; and nights it was so cool
and quiet with the moon and stars look
ing upon them, that they seemed to be
miles and miles away from the busy
world below.
. But iii winter when 1T was very cold
they were obliged to stay indoors, and
they could only peep from the windows
of the loft at the surrounding houses,
and catch q glimpse OF the streets on
either side. and yet they were as merry

not be questioned While the report OF
the commission submitted and the plans
prepared for river Improvements seem
| iustifiable, as we'll as on scientific princi-
| piles as by experience and approx
al of the people most interested,
| I desire to leave it to the
| judgement of Congress to decide upon the
improvement of the navigation of the river
and for the protection of the property of
| the valley. The immense loss and wide
| spread suffering of the people dwelling
near the river, induce them to urge upon
Congress the propriety not only of making
an appropriation to close gaps in the
levees occasioned by recent floods, as re-
| commended by the commission, but that
Congress should inaugurate measures for
the permanent improvement of the navi-
cation of the..river, and the security of the
valley. 1t may be that such system of
improvement would, as it progressed, re-
quire an appropriation of $20,000,000 or
$30, 100000. Even such an expenditure
extending as it must over several years,
cannot be regarded as extravagant in view
of the immense interest involved. The
safe and convenient navigation of the Mis-
sissippi is matter of concern to all sec
tions of the country, but to the Northwest
with its immense harvest needing trans
portation to the sea and to the inhabitants
of the valley whose lives and property de-
pend on proper construction of safe guards
which protect them from floods. 1t is of
vital Importance that well matured and
comprehensive plans for the Improvement
should be put in operation with as little
delay as possible. The cotton product of
the region subject to devastating floods is
source of wealth to the Nation, and Of
great importance in keeping the balance of
trade in our favor. 1t may not be inoppor-
tune to mention that the Government has
imposed and collected some $40, 600, 900
by tax on cotton, in the production of
which the population of the lower Missis-
sippi is largely engaged, and it does not
seem inequitable to return portion of this
tax to those who contributed it, particular
ly as such action will also result in per-
manent gain to the country at large, and
especially so to the great and rich States
of the Northwest and Mississippi valley.
