The Mississippi River.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat. |

(From the New Orleans Times Democrat
The federal government will soon
test the value of the reservoir system as
a means of keeping the upper Missis-
sippi navigable throughout the year. At
certain seasons, principally during the
fall the Mississippi becomes so low at St.
Paul that great difficulty is experienced
in running steamboats, to that city. The
matter of the improvement of the river
there SO as to secure navigation through
out the season was submitted sone time
ago to the United States engineers, who
reported In favor of the reservoir system,
and Congress approved the project and
has made handsome appropriation
each year since to carry it out The
engineers, who have been busy on this
work, have just completed the first por-
ton, the building of dam at Lake
Wlnnebigoshish, a work which they
have prosecuted continu ously for eight
cen months.
The theory of the reservoir system is
as follows: The Mississippi at that
point, two hundred miles above St.
Paul, winds through a succession of
marshes and now and then spreads out
In broad shallow lakes, so that the back
water from this dam covers an immense
area. The reservoirs formed by this
dam-there are to be six others-will
be sufficient to store up the greater por-
ton of the rainfall of the drainage area
estimated at Z 400 square miles. When
the river begins to fall, enough water
can be discharged from these reservoirs
to at least double the ordinary maxi
mum flow for one hundred days, SO that
at no time will the river oe so low as to
prove detrimental to navigation. The
estimates have been very carefully fig
ured out-the amount of water that will
be slowed away in these reservoirs and
the amount needed to keep the river
navigable. The system is q success
on paper; it remains to be seen whether
it will prove practical success, and the
actual test, soon to be made, will be the
most satisfactory evidence. Should the
Lake Winnebigoshish dam have the
effect claimed for il by the engineers,
the work of completing the other dams
will be rapidly carried on to completion.
1t has even been proposed to try this
same reservoir system to insure the
navigation of the Mississippi at points
below st. Paul, and as likely to control
and prevent the sudden foods some
times occurring in that stream.

The First Magnetic Telegraph.
ben: PerleY POore. ]

The first practical use of the magnetic
telegraph Gas 1T was called was during the
session of the Democratic national con-
vention at Baltimore, May Is to 10, 1914,
when crowd of expectant Democrats
were assembled at the north door of the
capitol, and were kept advised as to
what was going on at the monumental
city. At last, the priest of the mute
oracle within, announcing it's revelations,
silently inscribed on blackboard the
names of the states which had success
sively voted for Polk, and then an
nounced his nomination. The news
was heard by all the faithful with
speechless amazement. That all the
chiefs, the old leaders of the party who
had been SO long coquetting for the
honor, who had been talked of and
voted for-Cass, johnson, Buchanan,
Calhoun-that even Mr.. Van Buren,
himself, whom the general Democratic"
voice had emphatically named as the
candidate of the party, and who had
actually received large majority of the
votes of the convention, that all these
should be thrown aside, overslaught-
cred, for one of the subalterns of the
party, one not before spoken of Or
thought of, was result hardly credita-
BILE. Later, Senator Silas Wright, who
was in the capitol, was notified that he
had been nominated as vice-president.
He Immediately returned for answer, by
the telegraph, that he declined the NOM
ination. The convention, in reply, re-
quested him to reconsider and with
draw his refusal. He answered again
that his mind was made up, and that he
must peremptolily decline the nomina-
ton. He was then informed by tele-
graph, in return, that the convention
had adjourned for the day, but that
prior to the adjournment committee
of five members had been appointed to
come to Washington to confer with
him on the subject, and would be there
in the morning. They could not how
ever, prevail on him to accept the nom
ination, and George M. Dallas was
nominated.

Dinner and Algebra.
[From the Boston Globe.1

From the Boston Globe.]
A pale man with high forehead came
into Booge's restaurant yesterday, sat
down at a table, and ordered his dinner.
Then re took out of his pocket large
diagram apparently covered with I'M
Ineligible signs and algebraic form
ula and fastened it with pin on the
wall where he could easily observe it.
When his dinner came he looked it over
attentiyely and then turned to q pro-
found contemplation of his figures.
After a while he began to eat, but with
great deal of caution and reserve, as
though he was afraid of making mis-
take or suspected the biscuit of con-
cealing snag. Frequently he paused
between bites and his Ups moved as if
in prayer. The latter illusion was dis
PEELED, however, by the indistinct pro-
nunciation of the name of numeral.
He was evidently counting. He chewed
with his eyes fixed upon the equations
of the diagram. There was a pale
blush tinge about his face and he
looked bilious. His neighbor at the
away and placed his hat where he could
seize IL aG mOm0uGS uOGlC0. he SuS-
pected the new conner of being luna
tic. Suddenly the stranger caught his
eye, stared, and Inadvertently swallowed
his food. He seemed to be very much
put out by the occurrence.
'Why do you look at me that way ?"
he demanded. "Do you think I am
peculiar?"
"WeI, think your manner little
odd," ventured the other.
"Not at all, SIR responded the
stranger emphatically. "I'm dyspeptic
and my digestion is in bad way. I
have just learned of Mr.. Gladstone's
rules for regulating mastication so as to
in the highest degree facilitate diges-
ton. I have adopted his system of
thirty-two chews to a piece of steak,
fourteen to cold potato, etc., only I
have improved on it. What was before
crude is now systematic and theoretical.
It is the combinations which puzzle me.

"Ah, yes" replied DR.. Shelton, smil-
ing, "but from the wrong end"
John remained silent for some time.
At length the doctor said to him:
"Mrs. Gamble will be, I am afraid,
very much annoyed and upset at your
adventure. But ! suppose I must go
and tell her. 1t is, however, doubly un-
fortunate, as she took advantage of your
absence to ask her mother over, and she

A PICTURE OF WEALTH.
BY H. c. R.

81 am wealthy" qUoth the sire,
Fields have | and chattels many,
Great the number of my hire;
| have riches, they not any"
Meath presuming titles screen
Lies envy, with many i'll traits beside
Dominion over wretches lean,
Gives increase to his Golfers pride.
Il am wealthy" laughed maid,
Bright with the glow of Aurora's caress;
1.-THE riches draw from nature are paid
In health and youth and happiness"
Hearts like hers scarce glance at care,
Nature taught, their thrOb is kind;
JOyously and everywhere
They carry love among mankind.
Il am wealthy" quoth the fool;
Years have given me their worth;
knowledge is the untaught school,
Wisdom is the height of earth.
His were now the gathered grains
That wandering man on earth may CLEAN
He forgot the brightest rays
Are only at the center seen.
81 am wealthy" quoth a soul
Changed from time to eternity.
"Heaven's worth is Gods control,
Heavens wealth is charity"
No earthly words may name the price
God pays for purity and truth,
Nor earthly is the soul invoice,
Life's worth in age equals in youth.

GOLDEN ROD.

Right merrily the Summer sang in glee,
AS WIN her barely sandaled foot she sped
To Southern lands where still from overhead
The hot sun shone upon the parching lea,

While everywhere the creeping fog o'erspread
To screen the Summer as her steps did fee.
Right meTr1ly she sang, still half aglow-
Though all my sweetest, fairest flowers have
gone,
Their beauty withered and their perfume spent.

"MAKE 1T RED HOT"

The Danville Tunes, which was SO &C
i've In stirring up the massacre of last
wear. has begun its campaign for 1884.
1t attacks both the negroes and the In
dependents or Readjuster Democrats:
How long will the negroes abuse the
patience of the white people of Danville? ?
We warn them them if they do not turn
In and help US to elect better men than
they gave us before, the whites will
drive them clean out of town.
In the same issue, menacing the Dem
ocrats, the Times declares
1t il of the utmost necessity to make
it too hot in DanvilIe for Independents,
and all who would hold Office obtained
by the negro vote, in opposition to the
wishes of the great body of the whites
(meaning the Bourbon Democrats).
1t seems, however, that negro votes
may elect Bourbons and Democrats. and
that these may safely and practically
receive offices bestowed upon them by
negro votes. For instance. the Times
makes this very plain in this:
When we say damned be the man who
accepts office at the hands of the negroes
unless be be nominated by white Demo
Gratis, we mean politically damned, not
damned to all eternity.
1t says elsewhere: MAKE 1t red hot,
and daHn the man who accepts office at
the hands of the negroes unless he be
nominated by the whites" Now that
nothing may be lacking TO prove that
the Danyille plan this year, means prac-
tically to disfranchise the colored and
other Republican voters, the Times says
The plan of making nominations,
recommended by the committee, was
adopted without dissenting voice,
namely, 8 primary election, nor was
there any wrangling as to who was to
be allowed to vote. All white voters
who voted the Democratic ticket in No
vember last, and who will agree to sup
port the nominees elected on the 9th OF
next month.
Thus, the Times, speaking for its
faction makes it too plain for mistake
that negroes and Republicans shall
have no voice in nominating, and vet
that they shall not vote for any pomi-
nees except those nominated at pri-
mary, restricted to white voters who
vsted the Democratic ticket last No
vember.
The Times says further: Put on
steam. friends, don't be afraid. To win
We must make it red hot"
