Open THE

Every day the necessity of open
dng Bayou Plaqnemine grows more
forcible. The boats are now shut
out entirely from the Asttakapas
trade and even the water in Red
River is so low that a skif cannot
go through its channel without being
hung NO on a sand bar, there to
remain until the winter rains come
down from the Northeast to float
it of.
At present wagons loaded with
cotton, are being driven across Red
River near its mouth with ease and
convenience. A dredge was lately
sent up there to dig cut the channel
when another had to be sent forth to
.dredge out the fret one. This con-
dition Of things at the mouth Of a
river through which @ large volume
OF freight must pass both for this
section and . large part Of other
places, exists right now, and the
sequel to this il that a score of
steamboats, are lying at New Or
leans With nothing to do-there
being no water where II is most
needed.
To relieve the country of this pre-
sent inconvenience is to open Bayou
Plaquemine and navigation between
New Orleans, the commercial centre
of the South and the interior of the
South and the interior Of the State.
Railroads cannot reach everywhere
and people away from the lines are
virtually hemmed in because the
lPlaquemine is closed up.
Large amounts Of money have
beenrspent SO as to improve aaviga-
tion on the Red River, but the
money has been practically wasted.
The people have received no returns
from the large outlay while each
year the condition has grown from
bad TO worse, until there is no river
connection whatever between New
Orleans and the Atchafalaya.
Statistics have been prepared on
several occasions, showing the
volume of freight which would pass
through the waterways, bat even
this has not inspired the general
government to do anything but APP
propriate just o s~uficieucy Of money
IN order that q survey may be made
and maintain those in charge very
comfortably for q few months, while
the people. are the sufferers.
Open the Plaquemine and at the
same time, increase the advantages
Of the country and thereby bring to
the tax payers the rights and priv
leges they have o right to enjoy

An Amusing Blunder.

Miss Cooper, a daughter Of the nov
ellst, James Fenimore Cooper, states
that, when in Paris, she saw French
translation of her fathers tale, ~The
Spy" in which there were several mis-
takes, but one of them was such that
it was almost incredible that any one
could possibly have been guilty Of it.
The residence of Mr.. Wharton, one
of the characters who figure in the
story, is spoken Of by the author as
"The Locusts." Now, the translator
had evidently been ignorant of the
circumstance OF there being any
species of trees bearing this name.
Having therefore looked out the word
in his dictionary, and finding the
definition to be given as Les Sau-
terelles," grasshoppers, thus he rem
dered it in the text. Presently, how
ever, he came across paragraph in
the novel in which it was stated that
visitor to the house of Mr.. Wharton
had tied his horse to locust. Then
it might naturally be supposed that
the translator would at once have
discovered his error. Not bit Of it!
His reasoning would appear TO have
been somewhat on parity with that
OF a celebrated cOuntryman OF his,
when he declared that "if the facts
do not agree with the theory, so much
the worse for the facts" Neverthe-
less, the writer seems to have been
conscious that some explanation was
due OF so extraordinary a statement
as that a foreman hard secured his
steed to a grasshopper. So he went
| on to gravely inform his readers that
| In America these insects grow to an
enormous size, and that in this case
one of these-dead and stuffed-had
been stationed at the door of the
mansion for the convenience Of Wis
itors on horseback. Anal

Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1892-02-25

Should the SHIPS become fou,ed or
otherwise secured together, the order Is
given, Board with a cheeri" The men
are supposed 20 gain the enemy's deck
as quickly as possible, pistols and cut
iasses In hand, but 10 keep sufficiently
near each other, however, for mutual
support, and to act In concert against
the opposing force. using every possible
exertion to clear the enemy's decks by
disabling or driving the men below.
The boarders are followed very closely
by strong supporting bodies OF rifiemen,
who cover and defend them, directing
their fire principally against the rifle-
men of the enemy. In addition to these
some Of the machine guns that have an
overlook fire must be ready to assist
and support these men. Topmen, sup
piled with hand grenades, are. supposed
to use them against the enemy while the
foregoing movements are In progress.
AS soon as the gun or fighting deck Is
cleared the officer In charge has all lad
ders triced up or removed, detailing one
or more men to each hatchway for its
defense. Should the boarders gain the
enemy's deck the guns must be de-
pressed as much as possible In order that
there may be little or no danger to our
own men. AS long as the contest Is
kept up, even after boarding, brisk fire
must be maintained and from as many
guns as possible, for much injury can be
inflicted upon the enemy In this way,
besides the advantage to be gained by

maculate deck, but the sand recently
strewn prevents the still living feet from
siigRing. ..... .,o,.., ,o-
ward of the beam!" and the great 10
inch ri3es swing around and then thun-
der Americas answer.
The smoke of battle now overshadows
officers and men, save when brilliant
nash lights up the deck with hellish
glare. Another shot from one Of the
enemy's rapid fire guns and rivulets OF
blood trickle from starboard to port.
Even the professional can now un-
derstand why the men fight with naked
feet-for they are slipping in the blood
of their comrades.
This is a pen picture, not overdrawn,
Of what may take place any day on
board one of our handsome new cruisers.
Wise was the poet who wrote:
God and our sailors alike we a lore
In time of danger-not before
Though the ponderous fighting ma
chimes Of modern times have very much
eimplified the sailors duty, the high
power rifles and murderous Calling guns
have increased the probable percentage
of killed and wounded. In the old days
ships came together as rapidly as posi-
BILE, the boarders leaped over the bull
warks, and then the battle was often
decided In hand to hand combat
Now the object is to keep as far away
rs the efficient fighting range OF each
battery will allow, but under no condi-

gangway on the unengaged side, the
possession of which is generally con-
sidered very advantageous. Parties OF
sailors are also often instructed to enter
the enemy's ship through the gun deck
ports.
Boarding, at best, is a hazardous
undertaking and can rarely be success
full unless the enemy is surprised or has
been decidedly worsted at the battery.
Unless such should be the case 1t is con-
sidered advisable to continue the battle
some time longer with the great guns
before resorting to hand to hand COM
bat.
In all engagements it is understood
that the men are TO be sheltered from the
enemy's fire as much as efficiency will
allow, and officers must be quick and
vigilant to select and supply shelter, as
IL enables the force to hold out against
superior fire. In this connection it may
be said that brrricade would be very
useful In the defense of a deck, and in
cases where time for preparation IS
afforded such an obstruction could be
made by running in guns and by the use
of ladders, hammocks, etc.
The nettings, which are sometimes
supplied to small vessels, or these hav-
ing low freeboard, are made of wire or
of some small stuff, tarred and sandeG.
The lower edge is secured along the
rail, and the upper is triced up by whips.
Very often in close contest on a ships
deck the sword becomes a more effective
weapon than the musket and bayonet
In such cases the cutlasses of the
boarders. are brought into play and the
bayonets unfxed and used as swords
Torpedoes are often employed to KEEP
an enemy of should he desire to board
or even a dummy may sometimes dis
concert his plan OF action.
An interesting feature of a nava
battle is the quartermaster standing by
