There's goin' to be floods then, sure
The whole Mississippi Valley, with the
exception Of a few localities, is inhabited
by he poorest sort of negroes and a few
whites, who have nothing Of value to lose.
They i've in block huts, the interiors of
which run no risk of being damaged by
water. They are constantly on the lookout
for the arrival of steamers, wheh they can
get few hours work Apart from these
occasional jobs, it is not apparent that they
have any employment.
The manner of repairing the Mississippi
reminds me strongly of the fable of the
water IN sleeves from deep well. 1t is re-
paired one day, and the next the work of
the previous day is swept away. Instead of
raising the levee the momeHtit Is in danger,
they wait until it is broken. Then a few
white men on horseback, and whip in hand,
followed by from twenty to fifty negroes.
come along. They have a number of
skIffs or wagons, aud on them they
bring those heavy sand-sacks to
fill in the broken places in the levees. A
mGu must be strong to move these sacks,
when they are filed with sand, earth or
dirt. The sacks are furnished by contractors
who are doubtless glad to b. rid Of their
WORKOUT articles at a round price. They
are Of the sort that are used for transport
ing hay, flour or cotton, and are usually
old and damaged before they are put to
service on the levees. One above another,
they are piled up in the gaps until the
broken levees are filed or the sacks have
given out.

A great deal of concentrated wisdom ap-
pears in the newspapers from time to time
about these floods in the shape OF inter
views with engineers and experts at dis
lance; but however much satisfaction these
may afford to northern readers, they are of
little service to the section most interested.
Even special commissioners seem to accom-
plish but little. Three times during my
trip we had special commissioners on

the points at which we touched one day,
and for six or seven hours discussed the sit
uation with Capt. Young, the breakwater
and crevasse man. They went off at the
next landing. While On board they smoked
together, took drink or two, had dinner
and good Time and talked like encyclo-
pHdias. | gathered from the conversation
that they knew all about the river bottom;
what they did not know and did not seem
to trouble themselves about was its surface
A few miles above Vicksburg, we stopped
at queer-looking craft. My first impress
sion was that the scene of the original flood
must have boon somewhere thereabout and
that the ark had been saved to posterity
after all-although the outside world was
still painfully ignorant of the fact. Float.
ing along in the stately style of q palatial
canal boat, towed by a government steamer,
was a peak-roofed house, with a PROV at
either end and lots of windows-just as the
inspired artists of our callow years pictured
the ancient Noachic arrangement, cross
between the old training ship in the Brook
Ign navy yard and William Blacks house
boat, on which the hero made love and the
heroine firted during the summer tour by
mute power.
"What in heavens name is it?' I asked of
the captain Of the Monroe, aghast
'Why." said he, in the most matter-of-
fact way imaginable, ''it's United States

steamer town. it. They carry government
workmen to repair the crevasses. There
are two or three of these boats on the river

down"

great waste of waters would make an
imaginative man conjure up visions of
phantom vessels

old Mississippi traveller, and could locate
the submerged levees with an infallible ex-
actness that made even the old captain
jealous. when she stops the men sleep

"Whatl Don't they work?" asked.
"WhY, certainly; but they need to sleep,

day-he is TO be your husband, for surely
you are not ore of thu girls who have a
sweetheart here, and one there, and gives
little love to this one and little to that one.
until when the real one appears the perfect
bloom is gone from the peach and she can
not give him what he offers her. You girls
know very quickly when man means
more than ordinary frien iship for you.
You have an instinct that tells you this
big, good-lookidg fellow has come sweet
neartlng, and that is the time for you to
study him a little bit. Think out if his
temper and yours are certain to agree
well together; think out if his tastes aud
yours are alike, or If they can grow to be so,
for you know, little women, if you want TO
be happy in your married life. you must
learn the great and wonderful virtue of
adaptability. You must choose your sweet
heart as you do a new gown so that he
will wear well but you want him for
longer than winter; he must last through
the long summer days and through the
winter ones, and before you put your hand
in his and tell him that you are willing to
fight out the battle of life together, think it
all over well, and remember that you are
choosing your sweetheart not for day or
a year. but for all through life and, please
God. if you love each other enough, for

Sometimes we passed a group of men,
standing apparently in the middle of the
river and piling up sand sacks. Approach
ing, we could see something of the levee.
1t had given way, and they were raising it
with the sacks. l had the impression that
as soon as they ceased work it would be
again swept away.
Lower down, between Baton Rouge and
New Orleans, we came tn some levees that
had not given way. These unbroken levees
were far more instructive than the broken
ones, as they showed the danger that hung
over the dwellers on the low grounds on
either side of the embankments 1t occurred
to me that if | happened to live on these low
grounds, would be justified in making my
viii every day in the year. Only the poorest
class or people--those who have little or
nothing to lose-live there, and about all
they can do IS to raise a little hay. ANY
crop would grow on that rich soil; but if
tney tried anything else, it might be de-
stroyed In week or month, so | suppose
they conclude that it isn't worth the effort.
