and putting an end to the need for i'm
provement of the channel.o
''But you are meeting with q good deal
of opposition from the engineers, are you
not? They do not appear to believe in
your plan"
"The railroad don't of course want the
Mississippi improved, and they are fight
ing us by every means. The plan is so
simple. so feasible, and so safe to govern
ment that they are alarmed lest it be ac-
cepted, and the Mississippi made what
the Almighty intended it, the great trans
pOrtation route for the people Of this great
country"
The Captain, who has been coming here
for nearly a decade, continues confident
of final success. His bill will, he be-
lieves, be reported favorably in House
and Senate within a few days, ard passed
during the session. II hope,H he said in
conclusion, "to be able to get it through
in time TO complete the work before the
spring floods come on, and thus prevent
another disastrous overflow in the Mis-
sissippi valley"
Another familiar face that is to be here
within few days again, is that of Capt.
Eads. of Jetty fame. His earnings by this
enterprise are large, yet he does not COM
NIT his projects to other hands when he
has any to lay before Congress. He has
an attorney Mr.. Alex. COchrane, who was
formerly a member of Congress. who
comes here often to further the Captains
schemes, but when that gentleman has
any important matters to &c presented he
usually comes here himself. He would
be shocked TO be classed as a lobbyist, yet
he is most successful one. He talks not
alone to members, but to committees. He
goes boldly at his men, placing his enter
prlses on business principles, and makes
the fight for them as a matter of business.
Does he want to get help for his scheme
for deepening Galveston harbOr? He goes
boldly before the River and HarbOr Com
mittee and tells them all about it, making
no ''bones' Of asking for $6,C00,000 or
100000 Does he want to get government
aid for his ship railway costing $50,000,O 0O
or 100000, COO? He has no hesitancyin ap-
pealing for this aid, in committee and by
bill. He is lobbyist of magnificent pos
sIhilifins

Chinese Child Vender

HOng Kong Letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer
In Nankin and Kai-fun children from
6 to II years of age are sold by
tens Of thousands. Not hired out or
transferred-but sold for small sum in
cash, in consideration of which the pro-
genitOr, by a tacit understanding, re-
nOunces all parental rights, even the
right of inquiring into the fate of his Off
spring. The purchasing trader may be
the middle man of a well-to-do childless
couple, or the agent of a wholesale tea
planter, or a coolie breeder, raising and
training slaves for foreign market. For
the equivalent of SIS any commission
peddler will undertake to ''adopt" the
same number of young Mongols in the
name of any employer, and at very short
notice. The authorities might object to a
formal and public purchase, but the
meaning of the adopting transaction is
we'll understood and connived at. 1t is a
lesser evil, and few parents ask any
questions. Rather than see their children
starve they will resign them to any fate
with one exception. The orthodox Bud.
dhists seem to have evinced occasional
scruples in delivering up their youngsters
to the proselytizing missionaries, whom
they suspect of all sorts of damnable
practices. But even such scruples can
be readily Outweighed by few extra
dollars.

j.. Cart. Eads' latest project, one for which
he is to make fight this winter, is for a
system of improving the harbor of Gal
weston at a cost of some 100000, throw
ing away all that has been done in that
line thus far.
The most persistent lobbyist is, perhaps,
the small one, who practices the vocation
to get through some petty bill for his per-
sonal benefit. DR.. Mary Walker is a
sample of this class. She perseyeringly
pleads for the passage of a bill for h-r
pension or relief, until the average men,
Der of Congress fees from her approach
as from the breath of a pestilence. An
other persistent lobbyist is a fresh young
colOred man, who hangs about the doors
of House and Senate asking members to
subscribe to a weekly paper which ne
publishes, and send the copies so taken
to some colored men in their respect
tive districts. A pair Of lobbyists, who
do thriving business, are known as hus-
band and wife, the latter a Well-develOped
blonde, who smiles 5weetly upon the
members from the gallery or pleads with
them in the ladies' room at the entrance
of the House. There is another, a woman,
who has record Of having "killer her
man." who is to be seen often in the lobby.
She was last session frequent visitor to
wealty member from the West, when
some of his friends quietly whispered
something Of her record in his ear and
their conversations in the lobby came
suddenly to an end. Still another woman
of pleasing address "works" the Senate
end of the Capitol industriously, having
been so successful as to enlist the SYM
pathies of Mr.. Arthur when Vice Presi-
dent for some of her schemes, until her
true character appeared, when he refused
longer to respond to her cards.
AUSTIN.
[Capt. Cowden's talk is given for what it is
worth. 1t shows what sort of wild schemes
are before Congress. There is about as much
prospect of his scheme for improving the Mis-
sissippi being adopted as there is of the Gulf
of Mexico freezing over.-ED.l

''They are just the reverse. They pro-
pose to build dams, place Instructions IN

raise the flood line, decrease the angle of

Increase the overflows and make navIga-

line to what it was when the mouth of the

some thirteen or fourteen feet. 1t will
within two years re-establish the flood
line of ages ago all the way to Cairo, low
ering it from fifteen to twenty feet below
the present line, preventing all overfows
