There are chunks Of solid sense
in a recent editorial in the Meridi-
All Mercury, expressed in Colonel
Horns inimitable manner, on the
" Mississippi river craze" let
property owners protect their pri.
vate property to the. best advan.
tage in their power, and let the
government improve the naviga-
ton Of the Mississippi as far as
practicable, but when this great
government attempts to control
its waters and keep them within
its banks, task will be underta-
ken that will cost millions. and
millions of dollars, and must in
the natural order of things result
in disastrous failure. The govern
mcnt is under the same obligations
to protect the property of citizens
along the banks of the raging
Sowasliee or the turbulent Chick
asahay as it is to protect that in
the Mississippi valley. Our land
is not so good as that in the bot
tom, but it is the best We have,
and the principle is the same.

Peter Coopcr's Air Cushion.
Ipeck's san.l


Peter Cooper always carries a
rubber air cushion, which hc blows
up and places in n chair or street
car before sitting down. The other
day, in q Third aAenuc car, he was
seated on his air cushion when q
well dressed lady sat down beside
him. She had q large pin to fas.
ten up her dress on the side, and
us she sat down the pin struck
Peters air cushion, and the air
began to escape with kissing
sound. The stream Of air struck
the lady on the side Of the-as 1t
were, the-well, where Il would
naturally strike q person, II not on
the elbow. She looked at Mr..
Cooper, aud he began to sink
down and look as though the
Greenback returns were coming
in, aud then the woman stopped
the car and yelled for policeman,
claiming that the old man had
stabbed her. Both were taken to
a police station, when II being
found that she was not wounded,
Peter was allowed to go aud have
his cushion mended.

The bill might have been truth.
fully entitled: A bill to reclaim
the swamp and overtiowed lands
of the Mississippi river, in aid of
the owners of alluvial lands, for
the benefit of the cotton merch-
ants, and incidentally for the i'm
provement ofthe Mississippir river.
That's what it is. If possible the
grand scheme could be successful,
the cultivation Of upland cotton
had as well be abandoned. The,
reclaimed Mississippi swamps will
make q competition that viii be
ruinous to the cotton planting in
terest in the poor hill lands, where
poor people succeed in making
barely enough to subsist on, as we
see them doing every day in this
city. 1t is now a certain estab-
lished truth that the poor farmers
in the poor hill country can't and
won't make anything but cotton
to live on. If the swamp lands Of
the river shall be reclaimed as the
effect of this bill, it is estimated
that it will make a demand for all
the labor, and make cotton enough
with the Egyptian and Indian
crops to supply the world. Tho
bottoms can afford to grow cotton
at 6 cents, aud what then become,

youngest Of seven brothers; the

twenty years, but is childless; so

Wants an Extra Session.
lYazoo Herald.l

Gov. Lowry was asked by the
Yazoo Delta Levee Convention to
convene the Legislature In special
session at as early a date as prac-
ticable, that necessary steps may
be taken to protect as far as legis-
lation can effect that purpose, the
entire Delta from the high water,
If such there be, of 1883. There is
no organization in existence sup
piled with a revenue from taxa.
ton, and authorized by law to take
charge Of the levees and protect
the said Delta, and to await the
regular session of the Legislature
would leave the people in the
Delta without an organization or
a levee fund with which to meet
and avert the annual floods Of the
Mississippi river. cAnd in view Of
these facts Gov. Lowry is asked
to convene the Legislature for the
purpose above indicated. The
Governor would not be warranted
in calling the Legislature together
in extra session, we admit, except
IN cases of great emergency, yet
the petitioners respectfully submit
that such an emergency now ex-
lists, and they certainly know
whereof they speak. It is to be
hoped that the Governor will not
prove unequal to the emergency.
