For tho Improvement OF New York HHr'

The bill introduced by Representative slo-
com yesterday for the improvement of navi-
CATION at the entrance of New York harbor
directs the secretary of war to invite pro-
posals for twenty days for the deepening of
Gedney's channel through Sandy Hook bar
to the extent of five feet beyond its present
depth, and for width of not less than 500.
The bill provides that no bid of more than
81 100000 shall be accepted and that one-half
OF the sum agreed upon shall be paid on the
completion of the work and the other half
when the increased depth shall have been
maintained six months. 1t prohibits the use
of any material in the execution of the work
which shall obstruct navigation. The sum
of $l5, 900 is appropriated TO enable the secre-
tary OF war to cause surveys TO be made
during the progress Of the work. In eOnclu-
sion, the bill directs tho secretary of war, il
he deems it advisable, to require the CON
tractor to maintain the increased depth for
not exceeding ten years for annual compen-
saton of 10 per cent. of tho contract price fol

Clear, dark, and cool a shallow pool
Lies underneath the summer sky,
Low rippling in the sedgy grass
As wayward winds go tripping by
And heeting shadows lightly skim
Across the water hand In hand,
And vanish in a reedy point
Where slender waving cat-tails stand.
And in the wondrous summer sky,
"Old Sol" his golden censer swings,
And in the pool the bubbles break
And lose themselves iu floating rings,
While bladed flags bend low to greet
The blue-veiled lilies resting there,
And high above their dropping heads
The cat-tails drink tho summer air.

Piute and Chinaman in the county
will also be there. It is the only
chance this year for such sight
and you don't see a woman walk on
a ceiling very often. If this prac

be great saving Of the carpets.
The parade will take place this
forenoon, and We advise everybody
to be on the street with their fam
lilies. The procession will be headed
by brass band of sixty pieces and
closed up in the rear by several
hundred Carson raised boys in their
regular uniform. Read the adver-
