Bayou Blue and TerreboDne, We
presume that no attempt will 10
made to close that cfevasse until
the water falls.
The new levee at Sevin's was in
great danger, at the same hour, and
was only preserved by the hercu
lean efforts of the neighbols: who
fought the raves as they rolled
proudly over its top.
Many other places crevasses we're
prevented only by the hard work of
the people residing near by.
About an hour after the break at
, the canal took place a small portion
of the Levee at the head of st.
Philip street slid into the Bayou.
Alfew men gathered around and
soon made it secure by wood work.
On Monday acon>iderable stream
of water was flowing into the canal,
whilst the prospects at that point
were not satisfactory at all. Al
iron AZ inch boiler had been put
under the road some years ago, for
the purpose of drainage of the town
in low water, and of admitting water
into the town in times of drought
when the Bayou was high enough
to do so. Ia 1882 this work had
been examined, and put in what
was believed to. be u safe condition.
The water evidentlyIworking its way
slowly along this boiler, and All i'm
mense hole had formed extending
half way across the public road.
Men were put to work filling this up
with dirt, whilst materials were be
ing prepared to build a Golfer dam
entirely around the break, and
across the.road.
BY the morning train Messrs
McC"llom. CIagin. Woods, Viii
liams, Mcbride, and others from Ter
rebonne arrived to examine the sit
uation and by the evening train
MIR. H. G. Minor, came to inspect
the situation and ascertain whether
aid from that parish should he Civ
Gu to close the breach. II the ere
vase had become unmanageable
the whole of Terrebonne Bayou
would have overlooked both banks.
and probably put the town of Hou
ma under water.
Pile drivers having been prepar.
ed, the work of running a dam
around the breaks began about
noon, from each side of the Levee.
and was continued rapidly through
out the night.
Tuesday morning found the fra
mes completed, when the filling in
with dirt was commenced /; at the
same time the proper bracing of
the works was being done.
The amount of water passing
through was not very great, as 1.-THE
works on the broken levee almost
checked its passage. That which
did run was carried oft in a trough,
and caused no injuryiby friction.
BY 8 o'clock p. M. the work was
finished, aud the laborers dischar
ged.
The closing Of lthe crevasse was
under the supervision of l.. c. Au
bert, aided by Joachim Lagarde and
E. Maronge.
Much credit is due to many citi
for the promptness and vigor
with which they rushed into the
breach on Saturday. Had it not
been for their noble efforts at that
important moment a disaster would
have occurred, the remembrance
of which long years would not have
effaced. Thankful we may be for
the narrow escape, as it was only
by a wonderful chance that ESCAPE
was had. Had the levee given

Schooling anu Crime.

Ignorance is the parent of vice. This
is the universally accepted maxim. The
argument is, therefore, that education
will make vice incapable of propagating
its species. Thus every man who pro-
jects to drag the government into schools
for all thinks he is on the way to ex-
tinguish vice and make mankind pure.
Yet we see it often announced that
youths have been led to crime by read
ing dime novels. Thus it doth appear
that education is the parent of vice.
Then it is found that a little education is
a dangerous thing, and that in order to
extinguish vice it must be carried to a
high degree. This seems to make the
work of DISCRIMINATING vice by education
rather remote. But is not this incon-
sistent? If ignorance is the parent of
vice and education the extinguisher,
then at every step in education the sub
ject ought to grow better. To read is a
great step, and should make him hun
ger and thirst for Sunday school books.
The multiplication table should multi
ply the moral tendencies. Grammar
should fill the mind with the good, the
beautiful. the true. Geography should
lift the soul from nature up to nature 5
God. To cipher the rule of three should
make the boy almost too good to live.
To doubt this is to deny the max i'm, and

is best to begin filling the ice house.

gets his share, than to have hand work

dignified man with a gripsack in his

THE REGIMENTS RETURN.
BY L. ]. CUTLER.


He is coming, he coming, my true-love comes
home todayl
All the city throngs to meet him as he fingers
He is coming from the battle with his K apsack
and his gun
He, hundred times my darling, for the dan
gers be hath run!
Twice ther said that he was dead, but would
not believe the lie;
While my faithful heart kept loving him
knew he could not die
AL ID white will array me, with rosebud in
my hair,
And his ring upon my fnger--he shall see it
shining there
He will kiss me, he will kiss me, with the kiss of
long ago,
He will fold his arms around me close, and
shall cry, know
Oh, the years that have waited-rather lives
they seemed to be
For the dawning of the happy day that brings
him back to mel
But the worthy cause has trumphed. Oh, joy!
the war is overt
He is coming, he is coming, my gallant soldier
lover.
Men are shouting all around me, women weep
and laugh for joy,
Wives behold their husbands, and the mother
clasps her boy:
All the city throbs with passion; It's day of
jubilee;
But the happiness of thousands bring not hap
plness TO me;
/ remember, | remember, when the soldiers
went away,
There was one among the noblest who is not re-
turned to-day.
Oh, l loved him. how loved himl and |
never can forget
That he kissed me as parted, for the kiss is
burning vet!
,TiS his ia, y,,, bosop, rbar, h;s had
will never lie;
IT'S his ring upon my finger I will wear it till
die.
Oh, his comrades say that, dying, he looked up
and breathed my name:
They have como to those that loved them, but
ms larling never came,
Oh, they say he died hero--but | knew how
that would be-
And the, say the cause has triumpAed- will
that bring him back to me?

JustiflabIe Ejeetm ut Of Passenger.
William Pease, rs years of age, took
train on the Delaware, Lackewanna
and Western railroad on January 1881,
to go from Hoboken to MontclAir. He
gave the conductor of the train ticket
for a passage from Montclair to New
York. The conductor refused to receive
it, and demanded his fare. Mr.. Pease
refused to pay, and the conductor dl-
rected the brakeman to put him of. The
latter did so, in spite of active resistance
from Mr.. Pease, who, before he was
e]ected, finally offered to pay his fare,
but its acceptance was then refused by
the conductor. The dispute commenced
while the train was in or near the tunuel
beyond Hoboken, but Mr.. Pease was
put off short distance beyond regular
station.
He sued the company for damages
and obtained verdict in the Court of
Common Pleas for $4,000. From this
Judgment the railroad company appealed
to the Common Pleas, General Term,
which Court yesterday handed down u
decision reversing the judgment of the
Court below and ordering new trial
Judge J. f. Daily, who writes the opin-
ion of the Court, SAYS:
IF the train arrived at q regular stop
ping place, and while the conductor pro-
ceeded to eject passenger for non-pay-
ment of fare, the latter might offer to pay
before he was actually elected, and such
payment should be received. But if the
stoppage of the train was for the sole pur-
pose of putting the passenger off and he
rendered the stoppage by factious re-
fusal to pay the fare, he would not have
the right to tender the fare and continue
his trip after having caused such an in
terruption. 1t can make nc
difference in principle whether the train
had proceeded longer or shorter dis
lance when it is stopped again, mol
whether the second stoppage was made
within the limits of the ordinary stop
ping place. 1t is the fact that stop has
to be made through the pertinacity OF
the passenger in wrongfully refusing his
fare. Tha. determines the question. -

The Town Constables.

QRfte . BreOze-The West Haven Candy
 Stand Case-Argument by Mr. Zacher-
 Judge CuIver's Decision The Select
 mems Meeting.
 Argument was made yesterday afternoon in the Superior court by Mr. Zacher in the Os- good case, West Haven. That case was de. cided by Justice Metoalf Mir. Zacher held that there was an error in the judgment of the justice because the justice held that Dr. Painter, who issued the complaint, was legally grand juror on August 6, 1883. The de- fence claimed that under the act of 1882 Dr. Painter was not grand juror inasmuch as he had neglected to have a certificate of his election filed in the town clerks office. Judge Culver in deciding the case held that where @ grand juror takes his oath of office within thirty days after election, it qualities him, even if he has not obtained certificate and had it recorded in the town clerks office, Justice Metcalf's decision therefore was held valid. The case may be appealed as the court intimsted that it was question that might properly come before the higher court
 The decision is of general interest also as affecting the cases of all constables and grand jurors.
 The selectmen of Now Haven held 8 meeting yesterday and came to the conclu= sion that only one of the constables of the WI. -o'O DIAM 0no AooS SAoOsAoA OooA AOBoAy qualified to do business, and that the acts of all but James C. Owens were never qualified. He took the oath March 7th, taking the place of Daniel Colwell, resigned. The board passed the following vote:
 Voted That Jceeph H. Keefe, Philip Roller, David R. Andrews, Michael R. Enscoe, Jacob Ma,lhouee and Andrew J. Callahan be and they hereby chosen and appointed town constables for the unsxpired time of the official term for which they elected at the annual town meeting held December 5 1882.
 On motion of Mr. Cooper the vote read was passed and the newly elected constables must appear this afternoon at o'clock, with their bondsmen at the Town Agents office, to qualify
