O2osum I ork Leve3.

From Capt. W. Z. Crumc, who
fills a position of civil engineer on
the V, 5 & p. Railroad, and who
has just returned from Il tour of
inspection of the Gpossum Fork
lcvee, we learn the following facts :;
The Captain informs us that he
has been over the Yholc line of the
lcvec during the fore part of the
present wecl, and found the line in
good condition, save a few insig-
nificant gaps, which gave an aver
age aerr-,.f not over s-ltt ia ella 81
water along line of 500 feet.
lie says he found the dam in the
line of lcvce across Boggy bayou
all right. The dimensions of this
dam, to the best of his knowledge
is 400 feet long and 80 feet high
and it WAS through this channel
and the surrounding bottoms tha
most of the water made its way
into the Tensas basin. 1t is csti
mated by engineers that G2 pc
cent of the overflow water backed
up from the Mississippi through
this channel, and Cypress crecl
which conpccts it with the Missis
sippi, and through other breaks il
the Opossum Fork lcvcc.
: There yet remains but an aggrc
gate of one quarter of a mile to b
built. when the whole line will b
completed, and even should ris
come on the lcvec, it would do bu
little damage, as the ends wher
{ the breaks exist are protected f
prevent washing and are situate
in section Of the levcc less tina
three miles in length.
| The Captain gave us many othc
points which led us to understan
more thoroughly the importance {

THEORY AND FACT.

II has been common assertion
n,st Il costs more to raise bale OF
cotton in the swamp than 1t does
in the hills. When it's said, that
half a BALE or a third Of bale t"
the acre can be rails cdin the swamp,
even after an overflow, and that
over in the Mississippi hills, and
in Alabama, it takes from three to
five. or more acres Ia produce Il
bale of cotton, and that those pee
pic thrive, or get along better Than
wc do. the answer is, that 1t costs
50 much less to make bale OF cot
ton there. than it does here. IT
ought not to cost any more, Is nc
next argument. Why should II
cost more? 1t ought TO be chcapel
to raise a bale of cotton on two
acres. than on three or five
But it costs less over there" Is th'
answer.
There has been published
statement of the cost OF cotton pro
duction in 1S79-S0 in the scvcra
cotton States, and to all who hav
not seen it, it will prove n surprise
The table is here given, that yo
may see that there is somcthin
else besides the cost of production
that is out of Joint.

Sound Doctrine.

"Psychopathy" is a malady
which has only recently come to the
notice of the doctors. For the en-
Iichtcnmcnt Of the multitude ii Is
explained that rSychopath Is an
individual devoid Of all moral
notions, who at the same time
thinks logically, distinguishes good
from evil, and acts according to
reason 50 far as his own interests
are concerned. Aside from hm-
self nothing is,sacrcd TO him. The
Pail Mall Gazette suggests that
psychopathy Is an abnormal de-
velopmcnt of cgoti%m, and that
when fully Hcdgcd Psychopath Is
discovered he should be immedi.
atcly hanged.-T-D.

Another Coed Man Gone Wrong.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6.-Atoya-
mcnsing Prison shelters to-day as
clever a rogue as has lately been
found out. His name is Glenmore
Todd. Since 1876 he had been in
the employ Of the Pr0vident Life
and Trust Comapny, rising from a
clerkship to the position of conf
Dental bookkcepcr. His frank
manner, pleasant address, and APP
parently correct habits won him
favor in society as we'll as with his
employers. About three weeks
ago, while Todd was sick, another
bookkccpcr stumbled upon mac
curacies in his accounts. They were
followed up. No one knows yet
to how much they may amount,
but The officers of the company
place the cmbezzlcment at not less
than 100000 and say ii may 90
much higher.
Itmay take long time to unravcl
Todd's methods. He had devised
a system of his own by which the
books would stand the ordinary
test OF expert examination. This
was demonstrated about six months
ago when a special commission of
expert accountants, appointed by

Another Insane Asylum Horrcr.

The insane department of the
Blocklcy Almshousc, in Philadel-
phia, near tke Schuylkill river was
burned Feb. 18th. Eighteen Of the
insane were burned to death, being
in the third story, and cut off from
help by the fire. Their cries could
be plainly heard, but there was no
possibility of rescue.

How High It Is.

In 1888 England sent to Brazil
nearly sS7 900 dollars worth of um-
brellas, while the United States,
where the manufacture of the ar
ticle is highly protected, only sent
during the same year, 81, 600 worth
of umbrellas TO Brazil. How is that
for high ?-N. Q. States.
1t is just Sl3, 900 worth, higher
than it would have been without

Why Times Are Hard.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA very
strong effort is being made to bring
up the bankruptcy bill already
passed by the Senate. Represent
atives from the great centres are
here pressing upon Congressman
the Importance of considering the
bill. They show that the banks are
plethoric with capital, notwith-
standing business is PROSTATE, and
give as IL reason that the bank ;
have no confidence, that they fear
the assignment to preferred cred
itors and the consequent loss to the
many in favor of one. The passage
of the bankruptcy bill would create
sense of security, restore conf
dencc and open the purse strings
of the banks. Money would flow,
enterprise would he stimulated and
Il fresh impetus given commerce
and industry all over the country.
The bill has passed the Senate
and has legitimate majority in
the House, but it has been 50 far
denied hearing because the House
rules permit few malcontents to
flibuster any bill out of existence.
The friends of the bill are laboring
earnestly and have some hopes of
success; they say the banks are
anxious to employ their capital,
but cannot afford TO, and will not
do so unless protected by proper
legislation.-Ex.

went over Todd's books along with

Scenes at a Great Camp-Aeeting i'm Ken
lucky in 1899.
Two young men began the work in the
summer of 1899. They were brothers.
preachers, and on their way across the
pine barrens to Ohio, but turned aside
to be present at sacramento solemni-
ty on Red River. The people were
accustomed to gather at such times on
Friday, and by fasting, and praying,
and singing, and hearing sermon,
prepare themselves for the re-
ception of the sacrament on
Sunday. AT the Red River
meeting the brothers were asked to
preach, and one did so with astonishing
fervor. AS he spoke the people were
deeply moved, tears ran streaming
down their faces, and one, woman
far in the rear of the house, broke
through order and began to shout.
For two hours after the regular
preachers had gone the crowd fingered,
and were lOath to depart. While they
tarried one of the brothers were irresist-
IDLY compelled to preach. He rose and
told them that he felt called to preach;
that he could not be silent. The words
which then fell from his lips aroused
the people before him to a ''pungent
sense of sin, Again and again the
woman shouted, and would not be ST.
lent. He started to 90 to her. The
crowd begged him to turn back
Something within him urged him on,
and he went through the house shout
ing and exhorting and praising God.
IL moment the floor to use his
own words, was covered with
the slain Their cries for
mercy were terrible to hear. Some
found forgiveness, but many went away
spiritually wounded, and suffered
unutterable agony of soul. Nothing
could allay the excitement. Every set
Element along the Green River and the
Cumberland was full of religious ferVor.
Men fitted their wagons with beds and
provisions, and travelled fifty miles to
camp upon the ground and hear him
preach. The idea was new. hundreds
adopted it. and camp-meetings began.
At the Cane Ridge meeting 10000 were
encamped. The excitement surpassed
anything that had been known. Men
who came to scolf remained to preach.
All day and all night the crowd
swaTmed to and fro from preacher to
preacher, singing, shouting, laughing,
now rushing off to listen to some new
exhorter who had climbed upon a
stump. now gathering around some I'M
fortunate who, in their peculiar Ian
guage. was spiritually slain. y Soon
men and women fell in such numbers
that it became impossible for the multi
tude to move about without trampling
them. and they were hurried to the
Westinghouse. At no time was the
floor less than half covered. Some lay
quiet, unable 20 move or speak. Some
talked, but could not move. Some
beat the floor with their heels. Some,
shrieking in agony, bounded about. it
is said, like a live fish out of water.
Many laid down and rolled over for
hours at time. Others rushed wildly
over the stumps and benches, and then

PRESENCE OF MIND.

Why Girls Should Be Taught SeIf-COn-
troll Wen Boys.
If boys require to be taught self-con-
troll, doubly so do girls. Having by
nature weaker nerves and more vivid
imagination, they shrink from pain.
suffering and danger in a fashion
utterly unintelligible to their brothers.
But the more natural this shrinking is,
the more carefully should they be taught
to govern it. Girls should acquire at
least the rudiments of nursing, and
learn the best and easiest attainable
remedies for the ordinary accidents
of daily life, Just as certainly and
as a matter of course as they are
taught to sew and to read. Es-
pecially should quiet and GOODNESS
be impressed upon them. Calmness
is not insensibility, though many
people cOnfound them. A girl is not
hard-hearted and unfeeling because she
can witness painful sights and if need
be lend steady, firm hand to the doe
tor or nurse. On the contrary, she has
usually twenty times the sympathy and
unselfish kindness of that delicate little
damsel who has no command whatever
over herself, and fills the room with
shrieks, winding up by running away
the very moment anseXtra hand might
be useful. 1t may seem harsh to say
so, but these dainty bodies, who are so
utterly useless at any emergency, or,
as their friends plead. $50 highly en-
dowed with sensibility' Chose who ara
aot their friends make unpleasant ref
erence TO folly" and .'hysterics''), are
generally selfish and self-absorbed to
degree utterly unintelligible to their
more sober sisters, who are taught 10
forget self and control both mind and
body by their la.ge-hearted sympathy
with and comprehension of suffering.
But the sick-roOm is not the only place
where presence of mind is required.
Scarcely day passes when we do not
more or less require it. Thank good
ness, the notion that women should
faint or go into mysteries for the small
est thing is pretty well exploded; still,
even vet the opposite lesson might be
more strongly inculeated. -E'Tchan9
