that In, Re Is no po'itive security against a
high river at any season. 10 1875 there was
a bank full river, and a great portion OF the
couriry unprotected by the ievees was over
flowed. In 1911 there was a v.ry high river
in November and d -cember. Though prior
to that dat, according 10 an old colored
friend OF Commodore Plat, things were very
d q, rent. The antiquarian said to the COM
uodore, why, Mr.. Pat, when l fust come

| Meredith d s severed that his license had ex.
PRED several days ago, aud promptly report
ed the fact TO esp. HALFWAY. Engineer
Tom Henry, of The Guiding S.sr, went gu
in charge Of the Ohio's engine room Satur'
day. Under the provisions of the law, Mr.
Meredith snd the Ohio are each liable to 8
e ne of 800, and The operation of the Law
can only be get aside by the Secretary Of til,
Treasury. A still more serious feature o.
tie case Of the engineer ia that he is slsc
liable TO suspension and it will require
special action on the part of the Secretary Il
r~.instate him, a. the lapsing of his paper
places him beyond the iur s1iction Of tn,
local inspectors. The fees involved in thu
taking out of papers being but fifty cents
and the penalty attached to The running on
while on duty being so great, is evidences o
the Gaze being one of inadvertence, and tn
ACT that Mr.. Meredith promptly reporte'
the fact as sosn as he discovered it, should
have great weight in the adjudication OF hi
c sc by the authorities
