The Mississippi LeYees.

V1oKsBUBe, Feb. 1O.-Captain Marshall,
United States engineer IN charge, states
that of the Levees at Alsatia and from
Bedfords to the delta, there were only two
in danger in his district which extends
from the mouth of White river south to
Warrenton, twelve miles below Vicksburg.
He thinks he can keep the water out at
Alsatia by protection being built six
feet high and 1,2OO feet long
About 500 men and ninety teams are work
ing at the Alsatia levee. From Bedford's to
Delta, in Madison parish is in much more
dangerous condition, and in the opinion of
the engineers will not be up in time to
prevent a rise of five feet going over.
Officers of the steamer White report that
the Point Coupee levee above Bayou Sara
will not stand rise of more than three
and a half feet

The Rochester Insane Asylum

ROCHESTER, Mimi, Feb. 10.-The legisla-

morning from the Cook house, where they
had been entertained during the night, and
made most complete and thorough e1-
animation of the institute. They were
afforded every facility for SO doing by the
superintendent, DR.. Dows, and his assist
ants. 1t is expected that the full commit
tee will have meeting during the ensuing
week and unite on recommendation con-

of the trustees, and GLoBE representative
accompanied the committee, who found
everything in splendid order, though
greatly crowded on account of the delay
in getting the new building ready.

Forepaugh's Prize Beauty Sues the Nah
ager for Injuries by Being Thrown from
the Back of an Elephant.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1O.-Miss Louisa
Montague, the $4,000 beauty of Fore
paug's circus, comes up smiling. Yesterday
in suit against Forepaugh for $4,000 for
breach of contract, she was awarded $3.50
To-day she began another suit for iniu-
ries received from falling from the back
of an elephant. The lady herself, who ap-
peared in close fitting dress of black
velvet, took the stand and identified her
contract with Forepaugh, which was then
read to the jury, providing that she should
travel with the show and appear in the
street parade as Lalla Rookh upon an ele-
plant, for the compensation of 500 per
week. She said in 1881 she was
out in Illinois. Her elephant was
taken sick, and she was obliged
to mount new elephant with a sore spine.
The brute reared on his hind legs, and the
beauty tumbled in very undignifed man
ner. She was laid up for several weeks,
and on Monday she will tell the court all
about it. Growing out of the beauty's
suit is another one of curious nature
Her lawyer, James Ell. Heverin, in speech
to the jury, charged Forepaugh with every
crime in the calendar. Today Forepaugh
began suit against Heverin for SANDER.

SWALLOWS IT'S RIVAL.
THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH
COMPINY 1BSORBS THE
MUTUIL UNION.
The Lease of the Latter's Lines CONSUME
mated Yesterday-The Terms and Stipu-
Iations-AII the Contracts of the Mutnal
Union to be Carried Out.

New YORK, Feb. 10.-The meeting of the
executive committee of the Western Union
Telegraph company this afternoon lasted
ever an hour. The object of the meeting
was to ratify an agreement, to last ninety
nine years, whereby the Western Union
company leases all the lines and property
of the Mutual Union, to pay 6 per cent.
on the Mutual Union bonds and IL per
cent. dividend on the Western Union stock.
1t is understood that the agreement is
ratified.
New YORK, Feb. I0.-The Tribune to-
morrow Will say: The Western Union
Telegraph company has leased the lines
of the Mutual Union cnmpany, guarantee
ing the interest on the bonds aud annual
dividends of ~ per cent. on stock. This
agreement was approved by the directors
of both companies at full meetings of the
boards yesterday. The Western Union di-
rectors met shortly after noon and the
Mutual Union directors an hour or two
afterward. No opposition to the plan
was offered at either meeting, and
the approval of the stockholders of
both companies is expected to be given
with the same unanimity. Stockholders
will not be called together, but it is ex-
pected they will express their consent in
writing. There is said to be not the slight
est doubt that stockholders of both COM
panies will assent to the agreement at
once. By the terms of the lease it is pro-
vided that the Western Union shall assume
all obligations and contracts of the Mutual
Union; that it shall pay interest on So,
O00,000 bonds and IL per cent. dividends
on $1O0OO,00O spare capital
of the company; and that
it shall establish sinking fund of not less
than $4,000 year toward the paymsnt of
the principal of the bonds. These charges
amount to 100000 year and interest to
$3OO,OOO; guar anteed dividends to $780,
900; and payment to sinking fund of $50
600. The earnings of the company have
been recently at the rate of about $1,000
000a year, and the cost of operating ite
lines about two-thirds of the gross earnings.
A large reduction in expenses is expected
to be made by the practical consolidation
of the company with the Western
Unian. The Offices will be united
as rapidly as possible and the number OF
operators reduced. The Western Union
officers say the cost of working the newly
acquired lines will be very small, because
that company will not be obliged to in
crease greatly its present force. The lease
is to go into effect Immediately, but the
arrangement of the details is likely to
take some time. All existing contracts OF
the Mutual Union, both for sending press
dispatches and leasing lines, are to be OBJ
served by the lessee company. The Mu-
tual Union has large number of these
contracts. The company's officers assert
that all of them are sources of profit, but
it il understood that few of them were
objected to by the Western Union COM
pany. No exceptions were made, however
in the lease ratified yesterday.

New YORK, Feb. 1O.-A better feeling
prevailed at the opening on change this
morning and prices ranged a trife better,
but Denver started decline. Toward
noon there was rally and the after trad
ing was light, with the feeling quiet. The
squeeze in the Lake Shore impressed
shorts in other stock with conviction that
the Lake Shore plan might be worked on
them, and they therefore placed themselves
out of harms way. While this idea was
spreading Mr.. Willard began to buy
Union Pacific. He bought an
amount estimated all the way from 10000
to 10000 shares. The purchase was thought
to be covering. Boston advices were that
the transfer books showed no great chan
ges in the holdings of investors. Late
transfers had been almost wholly by bro
kers. private letter from Boston stated
that the road had earned 10 per cent. on
its stock for the year and would pay per
cent.
1t was stated very positively
that Mr.. David Dows had
lately been large buyer OF
the stock. The Post says that if the set
Element of the legal fight between the
Western Union and Mutual companies lis
completed on the basis upon which all ne
gotiations have now been settled except
signing the documents, it will result in a
consolidation of Offices, lines, service, etc.,
to an extent that will reduce the expenses
of both companies from 100000 to $780,
600, and consequently leave that much
more for net income.

THE DECLINE OF THE MINISTRY

THE DECLINE OF THE MINISTRY.
President Eliot has said, ''the decline
of the ministry is recognized fact of the
last decade" He proceeds, among other
reasons for this condition,
to assert that 'the intellectual
bondage to which young clergyman is
obliged to submit by adopting at the start
some carefully hedged creed, which cannot
be stretched much, and from which he can
not vary during the whole of this life
without breaking from beloved associa-
tions and exposing himself to reproach,"
is the most comprehensive cause for this
undeniable fact. The iron creeds which
were formulated in narrower and less en-
lightened period than this, cannot bind
mankind as was once possible. From
the reason stated by President Eliot, it
may be deducted that the clergy have not
kept pace with the general progress which
permeates community. The clergyman of
to-day and the clergyman of fifty or a
hundred years ago are not at all the same.
Then he enjoyed supremacy intel
lectually, and doubtless spiritually. and
was superior being, so to say. But all
that state of mental aristocracy has passed
forever. Men in all walks of life are cul-
tured and capable to an extent that renders
them the peers, indeed largely the superiors,
of the creed clad clergy. That there are

THE WHISKY BILL.
Representatives Chandler, of Massa-
chusetts, West of New York, and Sherwin,
of Illinois, are classed among the recent
converts to the whisky bill. The
friends of the measure claim
that they are daily gaining
strength. The accession of supporters
does not happen in Jumps but in single
lots, and slowly and surely. They have
been mustered in full force several times
lately, but at the eleventh hour Butter
worth, of Ohio, has decided to wait. To
put it as mildly as it can be put, there is a
feeling that the bill has not been managed
to the best advantage. Last year the man
ayers placed few thousand dollars where
they did no good. This year the distribu-
ton of fine old rye and bourbon was left to
a select coterie of correspondents who kept
it among themselves. Independent journal
lists have to buy their own whisky, as u.s.
ual. 1t is evident nothing can be done
with the bill while the tariff question is
not disposed of. Both sides admit that
the country would rise and howl were
the whisky troubles settled before the
question of taxation. In view of
the situation, the following letter to Rep
resentative Willis is of interest:
SIR: In reply to your letter of the 4th
