The Morganza Levee has broken.
which is one Of the greatest calami
ties that could have fallen upon
lower Louisiana.
The height of the water in the
Mississippi has caused the Cover
nor to request citizens to guard and
watch their levees closely SO as to
prevent any further breaks, if pos
sible.
The first calamity has caused the
Picaymne to rejoice in a double lead
ed half column on last Sunday ; and
the Iberia Star chimes in with its
lugubriOus music OF account of the
latter tronbleS.
Well. n Of these writer's seated
in the fourth story Of brick house
on Camp street, and the other in
the Attakapas prairies, can afford
to make light Of these misfortunes,
and laugh at the people who are
watching by day and by night,
more than one thousand miles of
levee. to save their property from
overflow.
1t is a fine opportunity for these
sapient writer's to attempt to show
their wit.

stood when the Fournier crevasse
broke in 1888, and within two or

The mayor kept "a gang of hands
on the Levee and opposite on the
eoulon place a large force was kept
busy all the day long.
The most intense anxiety prevail

anxiety was somewhat aHayed by

ABOUT one year ago the State
treasurer notified the Supsrinten
dant of Education that there was :.
certain sum Of money in the Trea
Sary subject to distribution to the
Parish School Boards. according to
law. The Superintendent ascer
tanned that the amount srecifed
would give to each educable child
10 the State a sum of twenty two
cents on the dollar.
The notices of said distribution
were forwarded to the varioua
school boards.
The School Board of New Or
leans was the first to withdraw its
apportiOnment.
As soon as this was done, it was
discovered that an error in TIN.
State Treasnrer's accounts had been
made OF several thousand dollars.
ald the Superintendent 40 notified.
This reduced the pro rata very MA
terlaIly. The Superintendent re
qnested the School Board of New
Orleans to return the amount paid
them, bnt that body answered that
they had already paid out the mon
ey to the teachers.
so TAR 10 material wrong was
committed by the error in the of
ice of the Treasurer.
When funds came into the .Traa
sury for another distribution Mr..
Fay, as any honest man would have
done, proposed to make up to the
country School Boards the balance
due them to make their quota equal
to that already paid through error
to the New Orleans School Board.
This would have been simply a
just, fair and honorable transaction.
But just here step in the Smart
Alexis of the City School Board,
with All injunction forbidding Mr..
Fay to make any such distri bu
ton. This immaculate body had
gobbled a large amount OF money
belonging to the Parish School
Boards, but did not intend that the
Latter bodies should be remunera
ted for the injustice done them
through mistake.
Hon: E. II. Fay fought the in
junction in the District Court, and
gained ; but the pleasure of retain
ing i'll gotten goods was so great
that the city School Board carried
the matter to the Supreme Court.
Here is the decision of that body,
given a short while ago:
The State ex rel. the Board Of School Di
rectors Of the Parish Of Orleans vs.. Edwin
H. Fay. Superintendent of Public Schools
From East Baton Rouge. Where q mis-
take has been made by the State Treasurer
in announcing to the Superintendent of
Public Education the amount of funds for

dren of the State, but before the appOr-
tionment conld be cancelled the school di-
rectOrs of Orleans had received their quo
