Levees and Outlets:

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
seems to appreciate the magnitude of the
river problem and says that 1T deserves
all the attention that the best engineer
ing and Legislative talent can bestow."
Our contemporary continues: As mat
tiers are now shaping themselves the de-
structiOn OF an immense area of this
most fertile lands in the. Union seems A
certainty. For point has BEEN reach.
ell where it may be said that all plans
for protecting the lower valley have fail
ed.
The Item is willing to admit that the
present levee system is very imperfect
and we can scarcely look for better IT,
suits the levees are left in the
CARE OF POLICE !URIEs AND INDIVIDUALS.
But there has teen one rian that has
not been tried-rutting the levees under
the care of the National Government.
TIE United States engineers haye talent
enough to build leyees that will stand il
Congress will appropriate the money
needed for the work.
The Gazette argues that 1.-THE various
projects for combining the river having
failed, 1t would seem as il the only ef-
fectual relief can be fOuud in the outlet
system
The Item knows of no new outlet that
would be practicable
EXCEPT LAKE BORGNE OUTLET;
and as we have previously shown the re-
lief from that would extend no great dis
tance up the river. We should like to
have that outlet for the local relief it
would afford, but its effect would hardly
be percept;ble 100 miles above.
Bayou Plaquemine was an outlet be-
Tore the war, but the reOpening Of that |
bayou would mean two more lines Of |
|evees to keep up. and it may not there
Tore be deemed advisable to turn the
river loose in that direction.
Bayou Lafourche and the Atchafalaya
liver are now taxed to their utmost ca
pacity as outlets. While We are opposed
20 any restrictions on the volume of wa
er entering these streams, it does not
'eem practicable or desirable to enlarge
hem.
Levees are the first, last and only re-
ource fof the protection Of the great
Valley. and the government
must take charge of the levees II it wishes
o avert "the destruction of an immense
rea Of the most fertile lands in the
JniOn." City Item. II

The people Of this town would Ike
to hear from the committee who has in
charge the special tax money. A meet.
ing VI said committee was held some
time ago. we asked some of the members
what was done Ind they replied that
the proceedings wtuld be published. but
1t was not done.
"A yicksburg special to the Picayune
says: Nineteen negroes, the survivors
OF a large party Of refugees which at.
tempted to escape from the overflow
down Boguefalaya on raft, arrived here
on the steamer Hill City. They report
that twelve women and children were
drowned wheh the current dashed their
crazy vessel against tree and that they
escaped with extreme difficulty.
Parents cannot be encouraged to
send their children to the public school
when they see almost every evening the
bigger boys push and jostle the smaller
ones End make them fight like dogs.
Our attention has been called to this fact
several times, IL the professor cannot, or
If 1t is not his duty to look after the boy IS

comes the duty of the town authorities
to look into the matter.
Mr.. Edward Sillan has sold Monday,
that portion Of his land on the south
side of the canal, comprising some two
hundred and fotty acres. to a party Of
Germans who. We are informed, by Mr..
Welch, who effected the sale, will i'm.
prove these lands at once and build a
two story residence. We wei.
come these new cOmOrs and hope their
advent here will be an incentive to others
from their section who are seeking

Father LanglOis announced at the
church Sunday last that Archbishop
Janssehs will be here Friday the 18th
instant, and request tho Catholic of this
parish to meet him on that day at the

@ this call and discuss these matters so

A QUEER STORY IF TRUE.

Tho Lottery Company Said to be Response.
Bile for the Recent Panic,
Tho Washington Critic. which Under il

curious story as to the part which the
Louisiana Lottery company played in the
recent stock panic in New York. The Csiti Q
says: IA gentleman who is usually we'll

lie and financial affairs suggested new So
luton Of the whole matter. Mr.. Wanna

gency in New York are both due to the

Lottery company. That company il one Of
the most powerful financial corporations In

Indian. II has been its steady policy to
ruin financially, whenever it could. whomso-
ever stood in its way. Mr.. Wanamaker
has incurred its deepest hatred BY the
part he took in bringing about the legisla-
tl0n hostile TO lotteries, which was passed
during tho recent congress. The zeal with
which he has enforced the law has only in
tensified the company for revenge. Now
