General Law for Postoflce Buildings.

Washington, April 18.-The Post
office Committee of the House to-day
reported favorably bill providing for
q postoffioe building in every town in
the United States in which the post
office receipts exceed $4,000 annually.
Where the gross receipts exceed $685.
600 the building shall cost not more
than $4,000, and where the receipts
are $4,000 the cost of the building
shall not exceed $4,000. There are
about 1900 towns that will get build

will be about $3O,O00,00O. However,
only $2,000,000 of this amount is to be
expended annually in towns to be
selected in the order of receipts by the
Postmaster General. Here are the
towns in Tennessee which will get

LEYEEs-rHE ONLY SAFEGUARD.

While the flood is on, and so many
people are theorizing about what
might be done to prevent floods in the
future, it may be timely to say that
this flood demonstrates that leyees OF
plain dirt can be built to hold against
almost any food. A great many peo-
pie argue that because the water has
never reached the so foot stage at
Cairo that this has been merely a
slight water. These people forget that
day or two of phenomenally high
water at Cairo is no such test Of our
levee system as prolonged high stage
several feet lower at the point. For
example in 1882 the 46 foot stage at
Cairo was sustained for 20 days at
most and this flood it was above that
stage for SO day consecutively, and it
has not varied much from it even
when below it. What ever the cause,
the levees along the front have stood
strain for more than sixty days,ayerag-
ing from two to four feet above the
highest water of 1882 or S4. In a
stretch of fifty mile front one sandy
leyee gave way at Skipwith for short
distance only. The water is to-day,
with IS crevasses open aboye us and
one below us, about two feet above
the highest water We had in 1882
although we had a fall of some two
feet since the highest water was reach
ed and yet our levees are holding, one
of them completed after levee had
broken against it in one fthe wcttest
spells we ever..had here.
1t is claimed by some that levees to
hold must have centre board or
wall of plank or cement. We do not
think either material practicable for
many reasons. 1t would not last
if of plank and if of cement the
cost would be so great as to for
bid its serious consideration. What
We want to build levees of is
dirt and plenty of it. IL can be had
during the dry season and that is just
when we want to build the lcvees of
; the future. We should suggest a
wide base with the greatest slope on
the the rider side which will do away
with the danger of wave wash. There
is levee ON the front of the Duncan
non and Elsie plantations built before
the war with wide slope towards the
river and they have not cost anything
to maintain during our high water,
although they have been exposed as
much as many of the modern levees to
wind and wave.
: Another Improvement would be
made if the public road along the levee
were under the supervision of the
, levee Board and have it raised a foot
or two feet each year for eight or ten
, years, at the end of which time we
,, should have levees with an additional
thirty or more feet of base through
which there would be the minimum Of
I sipe water. After this base was raised
, to five or six feet 1t would be very
! difficult job to cut levee within the
t, time that the levec cutter has to do hi:
work. The road and levee laws will
have to be changed good deal tc
carry out this, aud there would bt
I some additional expense also, but the
: Importance of the work justiiies The
! outlay. This country must not b,
: abandoned to the flood. We must us,
!, every endoavor to make II not onl,
!, tolerably sure; but very sure. 1t cal
be done, and dirt must be the materia
+. out of which we must make leyees.--
