The Mississippi Improvement.

NEW York, August l8.-At Yesterdays
session of the Mississippi River Commission
q determination was reached to recommend
m approximate allotment 81 tho sum of
81, 1913 900, which is for the improvement Of
the river below Cuiro in the following manner:
For the continuation of the work at Plenn
Point, 63 miles above Memphis, $500, 900;
for the continuation Of the work in progress
60 miles above Yicksburgat Lake Providence
$700U00; for work at New Orleans to 70
miles below Cairo, S800,00O; for work near
work in the harbor of Memphis, 100000;
for various barbor works, in addition to the
balance now available, 1928 900; for tho re-
pair of lcvees By the stoppage Of existing gaps,
81 100000. The sum Of 100000 was left
unutered for contingencies.
The commission decreed that work should
begin on the East bank Of the river somo
miles above the mouth of Ire Yazoo and
should continue upward.
The commission recommended that the
sum Of $500 900. which has been raised by
the local authorities, be applied in such n
way ms to secure, in consultation with the
.. -, ~-..:-.;t- ~
tho lines of levces from below upward.
With this end in view tho commission in
making this statement took into consideration
the amonnt Of work likely to be dono by the
local authorities.
The work at Plenn Point and Lake Provi-
dence consists principally Of narrowing the
streams so as to increase tho rapdity OF the
current and prevent tho formation of sand
bars, which have tendency to shift the
channel Of tho stream. Ono of tho pro.
posed projects is to prevent by embankmcnts
the flow of water Of tho Mississippi through
the Atchatalava River. When the Nlissis-
sippi rises. its waters are often diverted into
this channel and an increasing tendency has
appeared of late on part Of tho great river to
shift its channel entirely into tho course OF
the smaller streams-a result which would
prove disastrous to cities below.

The South Carolina College.

We publish in this issue q notice of tho
opening Of the South Carolina College, with
courses Of study, expenses, &c., to which tho
especial attention of parents and young

and philosophical apparatus hns no euperior
in tho Southern Stutes. and with corps Of
professors Of known ability it can and does
offer all the necessary advantages for OBJ
tainng thorough literary or practical
training or both. The chenpness at which
these advantages aro offered render them
accessible to large proportion Of our young
men and in fact to every person Of energy or
moderate means. The eye is n clearer and
more Impressive instructor than tho car and
hence the great value Of philosophical

Hero too ear instruction is impaired as as"i1 ID

additional advantage of q complete library
from which he can gather full knowledge
of every subject. The location is as healthy
hs that Of any institution in tho State. as
attosed by the icw cases of death or sick :
ness which formerly occurred in the college,
whiio the buildings and grounds are admir-
ably adapted to convenience for study. Ia
