entire disregard of the proprietors in
rebuilding It. He at once appropria-
ted . number of the sites and large
portion of the public grounds for his
new palace. The porticoes, with their
ranks of columns, were a mile long.
The vestibule was large enough to con.

the Colosseum got Its name. The inte-

finished he exclaimed-ssAt last am

valued at half million. His dresses,
which he never wore twice, were stiff
with embroidery and gold. He never
travelled with less than thousand car
riages. The mules were shod with sill

finest wool, and the attendants wore
bracelets and necklaces of gold. Five
hundred she asses followed his wife
Poppea In her progress, to supply milk
for her bath. He was fond of figuring

his possible deposition was hinted to

for fourteen years, and he was popular
with the multitude, who were dazzled
by his maguiflcence aud mtstook his
senseless profuslon for liberaltty. On
the anniversary of his death, during
many years, they crowded to cover his
tomb with flowers.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
| From st. Louis American,l
| There is more nonsense to the square
inch circulating through tho newspa-
pers about the Improvement of the
Mississippi river than ever was print
ed during a first-class political cam
paigu. So much of 1t as comes from
Chicago can easily be excused, but
when prominent river men, and news
papers, who are friendly to st Louis,
seriously denounce the plan of the River
Commission and advocate the outlet
plan, we are at loss to account for
their folly. We do not believe that
there is mud clerk ON the river who
does not know that If the river were
ten miles wide, or had hundred out.
lets below Memphis, there would not
be water enough to run a steamboat
after the first flood, from Memphis
down. Every river man knows that
the Mississippi Is confined by sand.
| banks, aud that the only cause of low
water Is the cavlng of these banks, and
the consequent widening of the river.
No river man ever expects low water
at the foot of the bluffs, below Ran
dolph, because the river is less than a
quarter OF a mile wide, and Is held by
the bluffs, which do not cave. Twenty
miles above, at Plum Point, shallow
water is expected, because the river is
nearly two miles wide. If the govern
ment shall succeed in causing the caveti
banks at the latter point, to be built
up again, there will be plenty of water
there. That the outlet plan would cause
the channel of the river to cut out is
not reasonable. At the foot of the
bluffs the bottom of the river is at least
one hundred feet lower than at Plum
Point, twenty miles above. Why don't
this fall cause the channel to scour out
between those points? Or why is there
low water at Island "a, only six miles
above the deep water ut the bluffs
The current at the latter point is very
swift, and has cut away more than
one thousand acres of land within ten
years. Why does this swift current
not cause the bars at Island 81, only
six miles above, to be cut out? Here
is a current sufficiently swift to keep
the channel over one hundred feet deep,
while six miles above, where the river
Is two miles wide, there is scarcely flve
feet of water. What kind of a current
at New Orleans would be required to
deepen the channel q thousand miles
above? The truth of the matter is, the
river runs south, east, northeast, west
and northwest, and the lowering of the
river bed in one bend does not affect
the current in the bend above or below.
If the river were straight, then the
lowering of the mouth would have
some effect perhaps hundred miles |
above, but by the time the water winds !
about twenty miles, striking first one
bank and then the other, in passing |
not more than a few miles by straight |
line, there Is not force enough left In
the current to scour out the bottom.
The only way the channel can be deep.
ened is by drawing in the banks wher-
ever the river Is too wide. This will
have to be done every year, as the
caving of banks makes it necessary,
and this the River Commission propo-
ses to do.
