AN OLD RoUNDsMAN's STORY.

So yon'-o writer, and you think could
Ieli You some story of the Christmas-time-
Something that happened to myself, which
Having the rhyming knack, might put in
rhyme2
The most are best untold, they are SO sad;
My beats the shadiest in town, you know
Amongst the very poor and very bad
And yet from one of its worst places, where
Thieves gather who go round with MUIR
d'rous knives,
A blessing, came one Chrlstmas-day that
My wife and me the sunshine of our lives.
The night before, had at last run down
Lame jim, the captain of river gang,
Who never had been caught although his
Were such that he deserved for them to
hang.
And as no sprung upon the dock sprung
Like lightning after him, and In q trice
FELL through a trap-door, and went sliding
Upon plank as slippery as ice.
drew my pistol as slid, and when
struck the earth again: Hands upi" l
cried;
"Tve got you now," and at the same time
flashed
The light Of dark lantern every side.
I'd landed in a big square room, but no
Lame Jim nor any other rough was there;
But from some blankets spread upon the
floor
child looked up at me with wondering
stare
little girl with eyes that shone like stars,
And sweet pale face, and curly, golden
head.
"Why did you come so fast?" You woke me
up,
And scared me, too" in lisping words she
said
"Gut nolU am not scared, for know you.
You're Santa Claus. My stockings on the
wall.
l wish you merry Christmas. Where's my
hope you've brought lovely cup and
ball"
never was so taken back, I VOW:
And while speech ess stood, Jim got away.
"Who are you, pretty one" Mt last asked.
81? Don't you know Why, l am little
May.
"My mother died the other night, and went
70 Heaven; and jim, my father brought me
here
It isn't nice place; I'm fraid fit,
For everything's so lonely and so queer.
"But remembered 1t was Christmas eve.
And hoped you'd find me, though thought
because
There was no chimney you might not. But
OIL
I'm glad you did, dear Mr.. Santa Claus"
Well, Captain Jim escaped the law, mean,
But not higher power; he was drowned
And on his body near his heart, poor wretch,
The picture of his baby girl was found
And that dear baby girl went home with me-
;, And never was gift more precious given;
For childless had that home been many
years,
And so she seemed sent to it straight from
Heaven.
Gods ways are wonderful From rankest
soil
There often grows a flower sweet and
bright
But must go, my time is nearly up.
A Merry Christmas to you, and good night

DEEPENING THE RIVER.
ri FEET or WATER FROM THE
CITY TO THE SEA.

Gen. Gilmore Talks on the Barbor I'M
proyements he Hopes TO Add Another
Foot Next Year, and COntemplates the
ERECTION OF Jettles on the Bar.
Gen. Q. A. Gilmore, who has been In
specting the government work on the
river, sailed, yesterday, for New York.
In an interview he stated that on Monday
he inspected the river from Cross Tides to
Fort Pulaski
1.-The works are all in good condition."
he said, land they are gradually produc-
ing the effects and achieving the improve
ment for which they are constructed.
The navigation from the city to Tybee
roads was never AS good as at the present
time. On a spring tide flood draft of 20
feet can be carried from the city TO the
sea. In five or six weeks from now the
dredging, which has recently been re-
sumed, may be expected TO give an add
tional foot. | think that during the
coming autumn and winter vessels going
to sea during spring tides can be safely
loaded to a draft Of u feet at the city
wharves. The navigable channel between
the city and Venus Point is fully as deep
AS between Venus Point and the sea, so
that the full cargo can be taken at the
city"
The General stated that the last ap-
preparation is almost exhausted, and very
little work can be done after Sept. /. A
small amount has, however, been re-
served, and some dredging will be done
during the fall and winter. The fund
was reserved more especially for emery
encles, such as the removal OF Jumps that
may be deposited In places along the
bottom. The original plan was TO get
depth Of % feet of water all OF the way to
the sea.
An extra appropriation will be asked for
at the next session Of Congress. An
effort will be made to get at least $3.50, 600.
After completing the work now 10 hand
Gen. Gilmore contemplates building
parallel iettes on the bar at the mouth Of
the river. One dam will be on the north
end OF Tybee, and the other will be on
Dauiuskle Island. A vessel drawing more
than II feet cannot come over the bar now
at low water. 1t is proposed to deepen
the channel there TO % feet or more, as an
allowance has to be made for the swell.
AS the next session Of Congress will be
long one the river and harbor appro-
priation bill is not expected to pass before
July. II an appropriation is made that
month, gen. Gilmore hopes to award the
contracts during August and have work
resumed in September.
by Jan. /, 1887, hope to have twenty
Two feet OF water from Savannah to the
sea at high tide" he remarked.
The General is OF the opinion that
Savannah will not be satisfied with %
feet, and he looks forward TO deepening
the river several feet more within few
years.
Charleston has q feet Of water, he
stated, and as trade increases the draft
of vessels will doubtless increase, and
commerce Of this port will demand per-
haps % or q feet of water in the river
within n few wears
