evening. It's top is about three feet below
the top of the levee. II has the appearance
of beng very substantial piece of work,
certain to last as long as it needs to, if a
little revetment is constructed at one or two
little places at its base, in order to prevent
washing by the river. A sign has been
put up, warning captains of steamboats,
not to land against the wall. The Illinois
| Central company has done what filling is
necessary to make a firm bed for lis outside
track, but it will finish the job when it be-
