A WONDERFUL JOURNEY.
The Remarkable Overland Route OF q
Government Steamboat.
New Orleans TimesDem.l

New Orleans TimesDem.l
The Government civil engineer, John
Ewens, arrived at New Orleans Wednes.
day evening with the Government steamer
Patrol, the vessel drawn into the great
Davis crevasse on the 9th OF March. The
route taken by the Patrolto get back into
the Mississippi River is onethat has never
before been taken by o steamboat and
doubtless one that will never be taken
again. The most marvellous experience Of
a steamboat Is worth giving In full, and
can be traced on a map, to show the won.
derful network of navigable waterways
In south Louisiana. II will be remembered
that the Patrol was coming down the Mis-
sissippi River in the employ Of the River
Commission, making soundings, marking
banks llableto cave, and taking the dis
charge Of the water at various outlets.
Approaching the crevasse the commander
was preparing to measure the outpour,
when the vessel was seized by the current,
hurled through the maelstrom of
waters, over the track of the Texas
Pacific Road and lodged in the midst
of a sugar cane field COO yards inland. En-.
gineer Ewens began sounding, with view
to extricating himself from the eperilous po.
sition into which he had been placed. He
sailed through the crevasse water, along
the Morgan Railroad to st. Charles station,
from the latter point across the swamp
prairie in southeast direction to Bayou Pa.
troll, through to Lake CataquatclIe, across
to small bayou ON the southeast corner Of
the lake, through the latter to Lake Saliva
deer, across in a southeasterly direction to
Bayou Villars, through into Bayou Bara-
tGria, thence to Bayou des Rigelets,
through to Little Lake, across to Grand
Bayou, thence into the Great Barataria
Bayou, across TO Fort Livingston, on the
Gulf of Mexico; from the latter point to
Grand Isle, thence to Bayou Rgond,
through to Whisky Pass, through tho lat
ter 10 Bayou des lslcts, thence to Bayou
Andrew, to Caminada Bay, through Shell
Bayou, to tho Terre line or tho South Louis.
lana Canal, through this canal to Bayou
Laiourche, and up the bayou to the Mlssi5.
sippi river at Donaldsonylle.
There is no steamboat aloas to-day that
has ever made journey similar TO that
which tho Patrol has just completed.

The Social and Agricultural Condition o.,

the Red River Region.
[Cor. Brooklyn Eaglc.l
talked the other day with Manitoba
farmer about tho social and agricultural
condition OF that region. lie said that pop.
ulation was crowdny in upon tho Red
River plains; most of tho land is taken up;
the town of Emerson between Pembina and
Wlnnopeg, contains population OF about
1000 and st. Vincent, in the same region,
1000. There is a farmer on every quarter
section thereabouts, mainly Englishmen
and persons Of education, like my inform.
ant, who was formerly an officer OF the
British Navy. They are generally pros.
porous, raise from eighteen to thirty bush.
els of wheat per acre and are beginning TO
raise cattle, which they find profitable,
Notwithstanding the length and severity Of
the winters. Most OF the settlers plant
trees about their homesteads, necessary
shelter in those naked wind swept plains.
Altogether the condition OF tho Territory is
prosperous, and II promises in no long time
to be the homo of large and thrifty popu.
lation.

Editors could tale unfold Of tho way

tons Of legal advice given by thcm without
receiving the slightest acknowledgment
pecuniary or otherwise. Doctors, also art
the victims of these questioners. Men old
in the tricks of these friendly sponges
manage TO evade them, but the young cd
itor, lawyer, or doctor, though he knows
he is being defrauded, has not the courage
TO cut short the confidential chat, by say
ing that he hopes to make his living by re-
ceiving pay for that which his friend ex

No one expects carpenter, blacksmith

do the smallest job for nothing, and vel
those who willingly pay for such labor
seem to think they have done nothing Of
which to be ashamed, II they "manage .
TO get legal or medical advice, without
having to pay for it.
And among women the fault is as great.
Women who make their living by dress.
making, millinery, teaching fancy work,
or painting, are daily imposed upon by
friends and strangers who como TO them
for suggestions and advice about material,
shades, designs and patterns--delrauding
the worker Of hours Of valuable time with.
out thought of paying for the advice
given, and often do not even thank the per.
son for the suggestion, which she spent
time and money in acquiring.
Strange to say these sponges are ofienest
found among those who could well afford tc

is the fact, that thoy would resent with the
greatest Indignation, a refusal to oblige
them. or an intimaton that they were tax.

thus getting for nothing that which the
giver, has right toexpect something more
substantial for than mere thanks.
