The applicant for divorce seemed to

o. the subject of the Improvements
made at Arkansas Pass by the Govern
ment work, the Corpus Christi Caller
says: "Our esteemed contemporary,
the Victoria Advocate, still insists that
there is real improvement in the depth
Of water over Aransas Bar, and cites as
proof the varying depths on the bar dur
ing years previous to 1870, when it was
at times as great rs twelve feet. This
is correct in part. The Morgan steam
ship, "Mary,n was wrecked on the bar
previous to the present work of I'M
provement. Her iron hulk settled down
in the sand, filling up the channel so
that even coasting vessels could not
enter. The wreck remains to this day
where it sank, and the channel would
have remained in that condition till
now but for the government work.

Of "The Nativity of Art" from the pen

to Andrew johnson, all that was bad
about him WAS ventilated from the time
the Republican syndicate began to lose
confidence in him-say ut the Inaugural
