New ioRK, August 1.-THE Mississippi
River commission organized here for busi-
ness on Monday last. Tuesday and

by members Of three delegations, which
are in attendance. one of these delegations

lovees, and q third Tor inc
city OF Vicksburg. Senator Lamar.
OF Mississippi, who Is one OF The delegates,
spoke OF Mississippi's interest in general,
ana Nieksburgs interest in particular.
Judge Stone, formerly OF New Orleans,

on the commission that the destruo-
tive Hoods to which the banks OF the Mis-
slssippi are subjected are caused by the ac-
cumulatlon of water IN what are known as
the la2oo and Tensas bottoms, from the
mouth OF Red River TO the mouth of tn ear
kansas, and that it is within
these points, also that the greatest dilicnl-
ties OF navigation are to be found. He
urged therefore that the leyees along this
portion of The river should be closed first.
Colonel Percy, OF Mississippi and Major
Waddell, of Nicksburg spoke TO the same
effect. The proposition of the Memphis Il
New Orleans Railroad and Levce comnany
to build between these cities road which
shall cross the mouth Of the Yazoo valley
upon the top Of levec TO be
hullt out Of the government appro-
priation, but maintained by the railroad

Madame Virginie Donaldson's 9th annual
scholars ball was given last evening in the hall
of the Arbeiter Verein. There was very
large attendance, and everything was of a
pleasan. and interesting character.
The great novelty Of the evening was the
military drill by the ''ladies' guard" The
dancing evolutions were well performed, and
at the word aim, the ladies by tasteful
manouvre brought their parasols into position.
The guard was limited in members, bu; were
very pretty; all were tastefully dressed, and to
sav the least of it, very captivating. We
exnect that the strongest military guard would
Weld to such invincible force and foreswearing
Allegiance to Mars would willingly lay their
.rms at tine feet of Cupid.
Dancing was continued until late hour,
and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed by
all
,;on on the success of her ball, and for the adj
v.ncement of her pupils. Mr.. Ben Bracy
who oficiated as floor manager, also merits
