learnedly, and in such an er-cathedro

strange to say it is this scarcity Of

river was permanently deprived OF
the enormous amount Of its food
volumne by its pouring down the

would form in it's channel below the

trous floods" This he says is Capt.
Eads theory. Well Mr.. Editor,
what a great thing theory is? Now
we know what makes the river over
flow. 1t is because there is not
enough water in it If we could
only turn the whole volume OF the
Great Lakes and the Atlantic
Ocean into the river we would have
no more ovelfows. The immense
volume of water thus added would
|scour out the bottom of the river,
no doubt, so deep that the top OF
the ship-masts at the wharf, in New
Orleans, would only reach to the
level of the wharves.
All that is needed is to get plenty
of water, and confne it in the small
lest possible space.
On the contrary, if the upper riv
ers should by any accident become
diverted, so as to not pour dowr
their usual volume of water, and thu
river should be left with little or nj
water in tho channel, | shudder te
contemplate the horrors of the inun
dations that would follow. Trul.
knowledge is a great thing. Tha
this Eadslan theory is wholly tru'
no one can doubt. 1t is a lack o
water that causes the overflow. Ev
erybody knows the river overflow
always when there is least water il
it. Hence the danger Of allowing
the Mississippi to flow down the Al
chafalaya. If the whole river wen
down the Atchafalaya entirely, tn
lower Mississippi would no doub
remain submerged all the yea
round.
Alb Great thing, this Leve
lheory-sconing theory, etc.

We have read with some feeling
Of great satisfaction the report OF
the grand jury at the last term OF
the District Court in St. Martin. 1t
breathes the proper spirit and would
seem to tell the dawn of the day OF
law and order and reform for that
long misguided parish.
