Any Thing but Assuring Reports From the
Lower Mississippi.
NEW ORLEANS, March 17.--The gift Of
800, 600 offered to Governor Nichols by
the Lottery Company for the protection
OF the State levees and refused by him,
will be given to the Levee Board, whose
members will not refuse II, and the sum
will be credited to their account, and in
all probabilitydrawn upon promptly, as
reports came In late last night the re.
verse OF favorable, and the situation
grows more critical every hour. The
levees on the east bank of the river, in
the vicinityof the Nita Crevasse. sixty
five miles above the city, which were
looking weak and water-soaked yester-
day, were in worse condition last night,
and further breaks may be expected
at any moment. The Nita Crevasse Is
450 feet wide in the old or outer levee,
and over 600 feet wide in the inner or
new levee, and though some 200 men are
hard at work with plenty of material
they are making little or no progress,
and the best people who have seen the
break think that 1t will prove an engi-
neering impossibility to close IL as long
as the present stage Of water continues
An alarming story comes from the lower
coast. A lugger captain just from the
Gulf, states that the whole of the low
lying country from the new quarantine
station to the jettes at Port Eads is sub
merged to depth of from three to four
feet. The country in question is only
sparsely settled by fishermen, who
in many cases keep small herds
Of cattle on the marshes, and
1t is not probable that any loss of human
life will result, though, of course, the
loss Of cattle will be serious matter.
The serious feature is, however, that
this land bordering on the Gulf is al.
most on the sea level, and such rise as
that mentioned must mean that the
northern part Of the Gulf Of Mexico
must be considerable above its normal
level. This, OF course, would mean q
corresponding rise in the Lower Missis-
sippi. The crevasse at Pecan Grove,
La, about 400 miles above here has as
sumed alarming proportions. At o'clock
yesterday afternoon the breach was over
one thousand feet wide and ten or fifteen
feet deep, and the ends of the levee
were crumbling SO rapidly that specta-
tors dared not approach them. This
was ffteen-foot levee, and one of the
best in the State. The crevasse will
cause the overflow Of one-quarter of the
parish of East Carroll, and the greater
part of 1ensas and Madison Parishes,
and ultimately overflow the Vicksburg,
Shreveport and Pacific railway, though
1t will not in all probability, embarrass
that road for two or three days to come.
The water in front of this city fell one
tenth of foot yesterday, but as the
wind is hauling around to the southeast,
another rise may be looked for.

DEADLY INVENTION.
A Successful Test Of the Justin
Explosive Cartridge.



UTICA, N. Y, March 15.--The success
full test of the Justin explosive cart
ridge, as fired from o 9-inch rifled gun,
took place in ravine at Perryville
Falls, near Canastota, yesterday. The
rife used was the Blakesley, made by
Fawcett, Preston & Co., Of Liverpool,
Eng, for the Confederates, in 1858. II
was used and captured at the siege Of
Charleston, since which time 1t had
five pounds Of powder with 275 pound
projectile. The Justin cartridge, which
It was used to test, is the invention Of
DR.. Justin, Of Syracuse. The object Of
the test was to determine whether
large amount Of dynamite could be
fred from rife, using gunpowder as
the projectile force, without the dyna-
mite exploding in the cartridge before
1t left the gun. Yesterday was the first
time that dynamite in any large guam
tity has been forced safely from can
non, and the last cartridge fred carried
nineteen pounds of the deadly stuff, ex-
ploding when the shell struck the solid
quartz cliff, over third Of a mile away.
The first test was made at p. m., fir
ing she'll weighing $50 pounds and con-
tanning five and quarter pounds of dy-
Mantle. The charge of powder was
twelve pounds. The shell struck the
cliff and one half OF the
dynamite exploded. The second she'll,
exploded at p. m. was the same, using
twenty pounds Of powder. The third
shell weighed three hundred pounds,
and contained s9l pounds Of dynamite.
The charge was twenty-five pounds Of
powder, the service charge for this
gun. The shell did great execution on
striking the rocky side of the ravine.
The shell passed through an eight
inch tree on the way without exploding
the dynamite. At the cliff it burst,
tore up the rocks generally and split the
steel bullet in half, one piece landing
nearly mile of. The fourth and final
shot was the largest ever fred in the
gun since testing, thirty-five pounds Of
powder being used. The she'll weighed
$50 pounds, or hundred pounds more
than the regulation, and contained
nearly nineteen pounds Of the best dyna-
mite. This shell blew to powder the
quartz block which it hit, and the bullet
ricocheted up the cliff out of sight. The
dynamite all exploded at the moment Of
contact, and would have blown ship
out of water.

Manned Lawmakers.

Three United States Senators lack a
limb apiece. Butler and Wade Hampton,
both of South Carolina, have but two
legs between them to represent the un.
derstanding of the delegation from that
State. Both wear wooden limbs, though
in Buffers case you would never suspect
it. He lost his on the field of battle,
while Hampton. who fought all through
the war without receiving wound, sus.
tainod amputation on account of kick
by mule, Berry, of Arkansas, lost leg
in fighting for the Confederacy at the
battle of Corinth.
A few members of the House have to
get along without leg or an arm. Gen.
eral Henderson, Of Iowa, Boothman, Of
Ohio, and Laws, of Nebraska, are each
minus a leg on the Republican SIDE
They, together with Lynn, of Minnesota,
who has only one arm left, are entitled
to an artificial limb every five years from
the government. On the Democratic side
General Hooker, Of Mississippi, and
Oates, Of Alabama, have each lost an arm
and Stone, Of Kentucky, leg; but
Uncle Sam does not provide them with
any substitutes. Il Washington Star.
