The management of this road,
have at last settled down to work,
and the raising of the road bed Is
in progress. The part west of Delhi
will be attended to first and then
the section between Delhi and Delta
will be raised. \ train load OF con-
victs, and their plumber went west
last Saturday, and early in January
GOO convicts are expected 10 be at
work.
The plan of raising the section
of road between Delhi and Monroe
first, would seem at first sight to
be, sort of hind part before ar
rangement, and the only common
sense view to take of it is, that the
company is satisfied that the levecs
now up, together with those being
put up, will insure the east end OF
the road from overflow. On no
other ground can the idea Of fixing
the west end first be reasonably
supposed to be the proper thing.
Previous to this year, the main
trouble, has been between Tallu-
lah and Waverly. Between those
points the water was deeper, ON
the track, than anywhere else on
the road. The Canal bayou swamp
has been the place where the water
was deepest. Just west of Lake
One was another bad place, and
from Tensas, about four miles east,
was another bad stretch, and final
w from half mile west of Tensas,
(Henley bayou nearly to Waverly,
the track was under during every
overflow. For these reasons, at
the first blush, the east end would
appear to be the end most requir-
ing attention, but the building of
Ashton levee changed the appear
ance of things, and now, if the
levees already up, hold, all the
water from the Mississippi that
comes into North Louisiana above
Delta is shunted off west, and goes
through the country west of bayou
Macon, which is therefore the first
section requiring attention.
Railroad companies are not given
to sentiment F.; they are emlnentiy
practical, and the very fact of their
devoting their first efforts to the
highest half, of the part of the road
to be worked on, is a strong argu.
ment in favor of safety from over.
flow for this part of the parish,
The company evidently have con.
fidence in the levces, they evident
ly believe this end of the road will
be safe from overflow, and the ex.
ample set by them, is a safe one tc

A METHoDICAL EDITOR.
How Volumincus Scrap-Book Stood
Him in Good Stead.

Old Sol. Miller, editor of the
Troy (Kan.) Chief, and who has a
wide reputation as the possessor
of a pen dipped deep IN red-hot
gall, but withal a little wicked and
q good deal irreverent, was recent
" nominated for the Kansas Senate
by the Republicans. The religious
element held a meeting and indlg-
nantly determined not to support
him. The crowd was large, unan-
imous and enthusiastic. They APP
pointed committee, so the story
goes, to wait on old Sol, and notify
him that he must Withdraw or they
would bust him, The committee
found the old man in his sanctum,
and proceeded to unfold their mis-
sion. When the spokesman had
finished, and the officers of the
committee had Endorsed his re-
marks, the old gray-hcaded editor
Strengthened to his full height,
pointed long, bony finger at the
committee, while strange glitter
came into his eyes, and he spoke
in low, freezing tones For thirty
years | have published q paper in
this town. Not week has passed
in all that time but some truly
good Christian man has been to
me and begged that something to

from publication. have always

not printed, were always written

to say that, if | am beaten at the
polls, l will start daily paper the
next day, and will never stop
until | have printed every one of
those stories. That is my answer. "
The committee crept quietly out,
and returned to the meeting to
make their report. a silence like
that of death fell upon the assem-
bly, until the purring of a cat upon
the pulpit cushion sounded like
the filing of circular saw. For
ten minutes no one spoke, when at
last the sexton said, Il move we

Two car loads of the Iowa exhib-
it for the Exposition were wrecked
last Sunday, and were reported to
be a total loss, thus preventing
Iowa from making an exhibit.
This was mistake as many of the
goods in the wreck were uninjured,
and it takes over eighteen cars TO
carry Iowa's exhibit.
