Deposit of the Great Rivers.

The average discharge from the Missouri into the Mississippi is estimated at TO cubic feet per second. This would be 5O0,000 cubic yards per day, and 1sooOo,o 900 of cubic yards per year. At food stage the sediment has reached the enormous amount of 100000 of cubic yards in one day. This would make a bank twenty-three miles long and 10C square yards across, and 1,00O miles of such levee in a year. When the united rivers pour into the gulf the output of soil annually Is twice the above amount. The meaning of such figures it is impossible to measure. One hundred and fifty cubic miles of the conti- nent tumbled annually into the sea by one water shed. The wear and waste of culti. vatable soil is enormous. But the great prob lem for man is how to control the mud laden waters so that they shall not destroy ruth. lessly on the way to their discharge.-Globe Democrat.

 too sumptuous for the occasion, but quite q picture to look at. She was fond of heavy, rich materials, and they suited her.
 Capt Haringfield was the very last of the arrivals, and had barely time as I handed Agatha over to him to take down to dinner to make mental notes upon his behavior. However, saw flash of pleasure in his eyes and reflex joy in Agatha's, so I left them with my blessing and inward satisfaction.
 am sure that Agatha's dinner consisted of two spoonsful of soup and nibble of iced pudding, yet all her color came back and her eyes gave out light. Her companion had a great deal to say to her, and when she wished me good night her squeeze of my hand told much.
 "WeI," said Tom day or two after, 'are they engaged yetT'
 Mot yet" I answered; "but it must be soon.n
 "Oh," commented Tom, Agatha is fool if she don't drop that man. | really felt quite disturbed. | There was something terrible, I thought, something repulsive in a woman giving this unmeasured love to man. Here Tom did not agree with me; he suggested that women were just as much human beings as men. | considered this, and felt there was something | in 1t. All the same, there are morbid exhi- .bitions of emotion in man and woman which are not the outcome of sound natures. One day asked Agatha if she considered herself engaged to Capt, Haringfeld. This was when he had been absent on duty for full two months, now and then writing to her. "Before heaven, I am," she exclaimed, wildly. '.He is just the same, but he knows papa's fancies, and he fears he may be or dered to some bad climate How horrible if he should Be sent on active service. should die if he went to Africa.n
 "Don't talk nonsense, Agatha, You are just at the mercy of your nerves now because you eat nothing" was my grossly practical answer. But knew that the body must infallibly knock under when the mys- terious lord of it, the mind, is racked and overstrained.
 "Do men know how women suffer-" asked Tom.
 "No, nor women know how men suffer, 7 he replied grufay. Then, after pause, he resumed: "There's only one thing for it.; we will go abroad, anywhere you please, and take Agatha with us." This was extremely kind of him, but unhappily Agatha refused to go.
 She had had few letters from Capt. liar. ingfield during his last absence, and the last of them announced that he was going yacht ing with friend.
 Of course I never saw Agatha's letters tc him. I often wondered what they could be They could not have been clever or amusing they must have been passionate in some way perhaps the way of temper. I hoped this rather than devotion. But know now tha, the poor girl cast herself pitifully at his feet afterward-too late-ah too late for both He had after all Q heart, and though it seem tu me horrible that a woman should not hay.

 If Agatha isn'ta fool she'll drop the man, Tom said. He was at times sententious, and then knew that argument was thrown away upon him.

Senator Sherman Speaks.

senator Sherman opened the campaign
OF 'ss yesterday by speech OF great power.
The challenge which the President so rashly
flung to the country, and which was so
promptly accepted by Mr.. Baine's Paris
dispatch, was made ridiculous by this ex-
position OF free trade fallacies.
Mr. Sherman's arraignment OF Democratic
failure to meet the expectation OF the coun-
try in the furtherance OF great public works
wss plain and conclusive. There can be no
doubt that to this failure is due a large part
of the hardship arising from the great ac-
cumulation Of the surplus. His charge
that the President and the Democratic
House have made no effort to reduce the
surplus, save such as involved the impair
ment or destruction Of the protective sys-
TEN, was equally clear and convincing. His
analysis OF the tariff duties, as bearing on
revenue and protection, was full of infor-
nation calculated to inspire thought, and
to confirm the wisdom OF the American sys-
TEN OF taxation.
Senator Sherman's speech should be read
iy every citi2sn Of the United States. 1t
will ipcreaFe the great regard previously
entertained for him as a political leader,
and it Sill have great influence In pro-
mothg Republican principles. The vigor
Of lis blows inspires confidence, and the
cl.arness Of his argument confirms the
faith Of all who believe in American enter
prise, and who would exalt American ideas.

That suppIeme entary Message.

The New York Herald's Washington cor.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20, lSs7.-For several days
story has been in circulation that President
Cleveland would shortly after the reassembling
Of Congress send in n supplementary message
defining his position on the tariff. This mes
sage, IL was said would be in the nature of an
addendum 10 his recent message to Congress,
and would suggest reduction of the surplus
by Il repeal of the tobacco tax.
The President, after reading the dispatch in
question to day, briefly replied, This thing is
absolutely absurd"
The report grew out OF dispatch sent to
a North Carolina paper by gentleman
from that state who holds a position In the
Treasury Department here as chief of dlvi.

should be the forfeiture Of the charters Of
both roads. How this forfeiture should be
accomplished is not made very clear. II 1t
is to be done by act Of Congress the fact
that the Central Paciic's charter was
granted by the state OF California might
constitute an objection. III II is to be done
by a suit OF law, In which the United States

that under the terms Of its original act the
debt OF the government is not due uDtil
some years hence, and that under the
Thurman act nothing Is due except certain
payments TO the sinking fund, which have
been duly made In accordance with the
terms ofthat act. 1t might and would be
set up In bar Of such suit that when the
government established mode Of payment

under the same, 1t was estopped from for
