Festival. given on Wednesday evening
by the st. Agnes Guild. of Trinity
Church, was a success, and Melted a
neat little sum. The costumes were
tasteful and original in design, and
from the strange surroundings one
would suppose that he, amongst others
had suddenly been carried to far off
Japan. Each person who drank a cup
of that delicious new crop tea was
presented with a japanese cup and
saucer. as Il souvenir of the happy
event. The appetites of those present
of course demanded something more
than the japanese diet allows, and
oysters, coffee. cake &c. were served in
first-class style. 1t getting up enjoya-
ble entertainments the Guild cannot be
outdene.

first time in this city last evening at
Lewis Opera House. They had a
fair house, which would have been
much larger had our people been ac-
quainted with the company to have
known how exeellently they would
have been entertained. The party

building is going to ruin through
neglect, and the grounds are untend-

nor lack of means, as his property
has appreciated to $3.50, 900 in value,
and he frequently gives away money
in charity. He takes the daily news
papers, and seems to keep informed
as to what is going on in the world,
but will have nothing to do with it,
and lately refused to see one Of his
former business partners. Many of
his old associates believed he was
dead, SO completely had he dropped
out OF notice, when a description in
the Enquirer as TO his manner Of ex-
lstence called their attention to him
He is now 80. The cause Of his Sc
clusion was his wife, with whom he
quarreled, and who obtained a di-
vorce, compelling him to provide fol.
her a separate maintenance. This
soured him, and he vowed to be done
with human beings.

Protection Of thc Valley.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
A neighbor Of ours, the Mobile
Register. thinks that the Times.
Democrat is too eulogistic of Pres.
ident Arthur for his message in
favor of levees for the protection
of the Mississippi valley. lie was
simply performing his duty in this
recommendation, il declares no
thing more. If this he so, then
Arthur was the FIRST President to
do his duty; and the Register may
devote some of its time to lectu
ring Senator Morgan OF Alabama
who has failed to do his duty IN
this regard, aud who is bitterly
opposing levees.
The Times-DemOcrat has reeeiv
ed substantial proof, from 4 thous
and sources, that it's views ar
those of the entire people Of thi
section. To our neighbors Of Al
ALBANIA levees are, of course, o
secondary Importance; to us the,
are a great and vital issue, far eA
ceeding in interest any other tina
can possibly come up before Cor

LAYERlNG ROSES.

This Isl very simple and easy
way of propagating hardy roses.
Selecta good strong shoot that has
just done towering, bend it over
and see just where it will come to
when pegged down, then oxcayate
a little trench on the line about
four inches deep, then bend down
the branch and iasten it with n
peg; then take a sharp knife and
cut notch on tine upper side, or
make a long slit as you please;
but if you choose the latter, IN
scrt between a bit Of stick or stone
then bend up the shoot, and fill in
with sandy soil, pressing it firm
with your hand, but avoid tread
ind for fear you will break the
layer. The dirt being filed in
around it, trim of the half ripe
wood and leaves, leaving about
four to five Of the strongest, and
about as many inches of wood
above the ground; finally finish by
scattering over andall round fol
n foot or more n mulch Of either
new mown grass, straw or moss
to keep an even temperature.

Editor Greenville Times:

Editor Greenville Times:
The alluvium of the Mississippi
valley is of friable nature, hav-
ing large admixture of sand, and
also of vegetable mold. 1t is of a
spongy texture, easily permeated
by water, which maintains almost
the same level in its substance as
in the water courses which abound
within its limits. When, there
fore, the great river which drains
the waters Of nearly half a conti-
nent. having by the floods from
the upper country risen to great
height, and gone out of its banks,
this alluvial soil having become
softened by the water, can no Ion
ger bear its own weight, and as
the water recedes falls off IN large
masses where the force Of the cur
rent is brought to bear heavily
against it. The volume of water
at every change i'll its course is
constantly thrown from the hither
to the opposite bank, from which
it recoils and again returns to the
opposite side, moi unlike the vibra-
tions Of the air in a metal tube.
These movements, as they arc con-
stantly taking soil from one side
and moving it 10 tho other. in the
course Of time make great changes

countries where there are no laws

in this country for the rights of

civilized. If the law for trespass
was enforced as it should be, the
