The Situation nt the He nd of the
 Canals

By the cou rtesy of MT. Wm, Isaac we took 3 Iide with that gentleman 70 the heads of the Salt River and Maricopa Canals. The river at that immediate point is indeed a sight, and is some two miles wide. It sweeps around toward the heads of these two canals in 8 grand curve, ard is cutting down the banks with great rapidity. Some three 10 four hundred feet of banks have been washed away, and the canals have, of course, disappeared now almost down to the gates. The destruction of the head gate of the Salt River Valley canal is DOW but question of few bonrs, as the waters are within a few feet of the gate and the bank rapidly disappearing The river is gradually falling, but will continue to wash the banks for several days
 Me.srs. Wormell, Sharp and Col lins, near ihe river above town, will lose considerable grain that IS being overiowed, and the changes in the current seem to be throwing more water over on them. 4 large force of men has been engaged Tn throw ing safety dams across the heads ot the threatened canals, and should the heads of the gates go out the canals below the dams will be per fecLy safe.

Use Of CaterpiIIArs.

The "silkworm gut" used for fas- tening fsh-hooks to fishing lines, is taken from the silkwo-m just as he is ready to open. The worm is very carefully pulled apart, and the glu' tcnous matter from which the worm spins it's silk, and which is contained in the secretaIi,, :, or silk glands, l. then drawn out in a single thread of variable lsngth, from 115 to feet, and is slowly allowed to diy. Spon says, regarding the production of this material, that hitherto silk worm only have been employed for this purpose, but plan has been set on foot to utilize caterrillars which infest food plants. l. is to be hoped that Ii will prove q practical success, as, if the gut can be produced in lsne piece, and al a moderate price, ' will find Hum rous applica ions.

 Here came the fatal stroke. The word "President" was the last ever written by the hand of Andrew Johnson The l, tier is written with Ieac pencil on ordinary printing paper, such as is generally used for "copy" in newspaper offices, and the ex-President was evidently prepar- ing it with the expectation that It would be published.
 Judge Carmack, of Memphis, to whom it was addressed, was an old and warm personal friend of the great Tennesseean, He was prom incnt member of the Tennessee bar, and ono of the most jealous and effective leaders in the movement winch, headed by the Memphis Araganche, secured 10 ex-President Johnson the support sor Unite d States Senator from the Shelby county delegation to the Legislature The county controlled ten of the one hunored members, and their votes turned the scale.
