THE CHINESE PIGTAIL.

\ writer In the London Globe says
a recent imperial edict on the subject
calls our attention to the origin of the
pigtail, which is now the distinctive
mark of native of the Flowery Land.
1t Is one of the strange phenomena of u
country, where everything Is ancient
ana where so few innovations have
been tolerated, that the practice, which
was originally the badge Of conquest,
should have been not merely accepted,
but permitted to entertwlne itself SO
closely With the national life that It
would now require forciblc measures to
induce the people to forego 1t. For in
the days before the Manchu conquest,
when the throne was occupied by the
great dynasty Of antiquity, the Chinese
allowed tho hair to grow as best is
pleased them and they were known
to some of their neighbors rs the sslong-
haired race" But when tho great
soldier Noorachu marched southwards
from Moukden to conquer China and
establish the Manchu dynasty, he gave
an order to his lieutcnants to compel
the people, rs they submitted, toshave
their heads In token of their surrender.
The Manchus were thus enabled to dis
cover at n glance which Of the Chinese
were vanquished, and which were not
while the thoroughness of tho success
was expressed in the most formal and
emphatic manner. This practice, which
was adopted partly from the exigencics
arising out of the conquest of the mul-
titudes of China by nero handful of
Tartar soldiers, was continued and be-
came an integral portion of the Man.
chu system of government, and tho rc-
suit has tended to confirm tho wisdom
Of the founders of the present dynasty.
The popular views on the subject of tho
pigtail have not yet been ascertaincd
with any degree of certitude; but it
may be remarked that all the Insurrcc-
lions of the last twenty years have been
put forward, as one of the features of
their intention to renew this practice,
which has there been represented as u
badge of conquest. There now, how
ever, seems more chance than over of
It's perpetuation.

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.


ltrom tho Quincy Herald.
The present rise in the Mississippi,
which has made waste of all the low
lands between Cairo and the gulf, shows
how completely inadequate is the lcvcc
system for the protection of the low
lands along tho lower Mississippi, and
sweeps away tho last vestigc Of nrgu-
ment for squandering more money upon
them. The lcvce system must forever
be n failure along II river which carries
any considerable quantity of silt. The
bottom OF the river will be raised by
the deposit of silt about as fast as its
sides arc raised by levees and the re-
suit of this process is to gradually raise
the river, bottom and banks, higher
and higher.
1t seems to US that the only practical
way to help the people along the lower
Mississippi is to drop the mouth Of tho
river rs low as possible, by the means
Of outlets near Now Orleans. The river
can be lowered at New Orleans by out
lets some fifteen feet. This will vastly
increase the current, deepen the bed Of
tho river above, draw off the water
faster, and help the river pcrceptibly
at least to Cairo. In all as many as
eight or ten outlets can be made in the
lower Mississippi, which will draw the
water out of that river and carry it to
the gulf through other water ways.
When these cuts arc made the country
along the lower Mississippi will GER
tainly be safe from overflow at all times
except when very unusual flood oc-
curs-and perhaps all ovcrflows can be
prevented.
No more money should be spent in
leveeing the lower Mississippi until this
outlet system can be given thorough
trial-not another cent. The outlet sys-
tenn can be pretty thorouhly tested at
very small cost. It. will take at least
$50, 900 900 to lcvec the lower Missis-
sippi, and the worst of it all is the lcvccS
will do no permanent good after they
are built.

"uu Auo SuCAHHk pig lsasaseS, SpOOHSI
, skewers, dishes for roasting six eggs OF
dozen eggs at once, toasttng-forks,
grtdirons, and fancy machinery for
pastry and delicate confectionery, what
In Elizabeth's days were called sscon-
ceits." In Pompeii itself the oil-pots
and wine amphoroe, let into slabs and
of MOSAIC work of colored marble, are
among the quaintest features of the
ruined shops. 1 saw in another new
part fine dining-room, found three
months ago, with some Of the liveliest
animal painting imaginable. The first
section of the walls all round repre-.
sented the boldest scenes under the sea
IA conger struggling with All octopus,
a shark pursuing its prey, a shoat of
fish flying through the water, all gilt
tering and fresh. The middle section
dealt With birds and Wild fowls, float
Ing, flying, quarreling, diving, and the
upper and largest section gave fierce
hunting scenes-N horse pursued by Il
lion, and OK in desert scenery sprung
upon by a tiger-and all these were set
in scenery of great force-woods, rocks,
rivers, and green hills. The corridors
and ante-rooms Of this house are equally
rich, the walls copiously vignetted with
fgures-dwarfs on stills, street scenes,
animals. In one room there is per-
fectly white suite of marble steps in
stitu, belonging to a fountain. The
whole thing stands as though finished
yesterday, without a soil or chip or
scratch.
They seem now to be coming to some
Of the richest houses, and have broken
into the outer court of one in which
stands beautiful fountain cupalo and
niche of elaborate MOSAIC work, repre-
senting gods and goddesses In the deep
blue heavens half.veiled with fleecy
clouds. The house is still imbetided
under thirty feet of earth but if this
is the back yard, what must the halls
and corridors be! The plan now adopted
Is to leave as much as possible in stitu.
Specimens repeated themselves, and it
Is needless to 60 on removing similar
mosiacs or frescoes, of which there are
plenty in the Naples museum. AS a
rule, therefore, all the latter excava-
tions are more interesting than the old
ones, because they have been left un.
spoiled of their treasure. l should like
to spend Il week at Pompeii every year,
ii only to watch the uncovcring and
revcl in the new finds.

PLANTING AFTER THE OVERFLOW

Distressing as tho situation is In the
overflow districts, as ws observed II few
days ago, 1t Is not as hopeless rs 1t
appears with II wild waste of waters
covering tho lovcliest and most fertile
lands in the Southwest. .a
The Memphis Avalanche shows that
fine cotton crops in tho overlooked
regions were made after tho great foods
of 1858, when tho Mississippi was out
of its banlls, until late in June, and in
1859 even worse year in the bottoms
than 1868. In 1874, notwithstanding
tho overflow, the cotton crop in the low
lands grow so vigorously and rapidly
that IL attained its usual growth in
August, and n fair crop would have
been made but for tho drouth that sub
befcll it.
The writer of this article In 1866. wc
think it was, planted thirty.three acres
in cotton early In May, after" tho sub
sidcncc of the waters caused by the
breaking of the Morganza Icvcc, and
tho thirty-thrco acres yielded thirty
bales of cotton. The land, however.
was virgin land. On one stalk OF cot
ton on this land were counted s93
blooms and boTIs. This was, probably,
the most prolific stalk OF cotton on
record. We have known half bale of
cotton to the acre to be made on tho
same land planted early in juno after
an overflow.
Indeed, on these unprotected lands il
is an established fact that, in tho great
majority OF cases, as large crop of
cotton can be made on them after an
overflow with favorable fall as on
ordinary hill lands.
Hence it is probable that, If II good
season succeeds the overflow, much can
be done to retrieve the disaster.
Though the loss in stock and property,
the decentralization of labor and diff
Guilty of obtaining timely supplies will
aggregate many millions of dollars
