Another Channel Tor New Orleans.
Engineer C5rtheu has scheme before
congress for opening southwest pass a. the
mouth Of the Mississippi river by means Of
iettles, and New Orleans Is giving it all the
help she can. One OF her newspapers, the
Times Democrat, says abe ia in danger Of
being "bottled-upn By that is meant that
big shipe are IN danger Of getting aground
In the channel Of south pss-the pass
opened BY Eed's jsstiss-and thus prevent
ing vessels from passing into or OUT Of the
harbor Of New Orleans.
South west pass is ths main outlet Of the
Mississippi river, and when Capt Eads pro-
posed to give New Orleans deep channel
70 the sea, he fixed upon southwest pass as
the one 70 be improved by the jetty system.
Congress, however, would not let him
make any experiments in the pass, because
1t was represented that they might fail, and
the chief channel from the harbor
10 the sea be choked Up.
He was compelled, however. to
accept south pass for his proposed improve
ment. How well be succeeded all the world
knows. But, If he had been permitted to
improve southwest pass, vessels of much
deeper draught would now be able 10 reach
New Orleans.
The south pass channel Is very narrow,
and vessels not intrequently get aground in
it. Two were aground in it few days ago
little way above the jetties. Had they
got aground between the jetties the chances
are they would have completely blocked
the entrance TO the harbor for deep draught
vessels.
But New Orleans will have TO wait
awhile for the deepening of the southwest
pass. The government spent something
like g. 100000 for Eads jetties in south
pass, and there are other important harbors
that will have % be improved before the
government will put a like, or even
smaller, sum into jetties in southwest pass.
While the whole southwest would like to
zee all possible advantages enjoyed by the
commerce Of New Orleans, other parts Of
the country will object to spending money
for another outlet for New Orleans harbor
as long as the present outlet meets all the
demands Of commerce, If the appropria-
tons they annually receive would likely be
reduced.
anu LueIo - pVoohDllty IndG much OF
the commerce that now passes through the
jettes at the mouth Of the Mississippi will
seek the seaboard at Savannah as soon as
the plan for deepening Savannah harbor TO
twenty-six feet is completed. There will
then be no good reason why much Of the
cotton and breadstufYs that now goes to
New Orleans for shipment abroad should
not come here and be shipped from Savan-
nah's wharves- The trip around Florida is
a long one and rather dangerous and costly
From most parts Of the western states il
would be cheaper and more direct to reach
foreign market by way Of Savannah. 1t
is not improbable, therefore, that the time
is not distant when the harbor Of Savannah
will be of much more Importance to the
west than that of New Orleans.

1t Was his Song.

An Indianapolis man tells this story, apropos
Of the illness of the VIZ ter of kathleen Mavour-
neen." The narrator attended q concert in
New York. away back in the sixties, at which
PaTepa. in response to an encore rendered this
song IN a captivating manner. During the ap-
plause that followed, " he says, IAN old man
hastily clambered upon the proscenium and at
tempted to exit right but was stopped after a
struggle with the stage attendants. His cry
was: 4 must see herr That's my song; | wrote
that song, and this is the first time ever heard
it sungI Parepa. bearing of the disturbance
to quiet him gave him audience. when it was
proved that the old man was really Crouch, the
author of the song, History records that
Parepa's heart was deeply touched by the old
mans simplicity aud fervor. and that the song
stress sent him away with substantial proofs Of
her regard for his artistic worth"

Weehn9 Their Time.

Thoss ot the republican leaders who are
opposing the denomination Of the President
are wasting their time. It is said .hat ex-
Speaker Reed regards the problem Of de-
atlng the President an easy one Il
doesn't look. hsweyer. al IL he would be
able 70 solve II. He is caudidnte for the
nomination, but he has no following. and

Mr.. Reed il doiog what be can 10 create
disqualification with the President, and
quite number Of ether prominent repub-
Lean leaders are doing the same thing, but
they do not seem to be
able 70 unite upon any candidate.
In the meantime the small-fry politicians
n about all the states feeling certain that
the President will be renominated, are busy
at work creating a sentiment in his favor
that will insure him solid delegations at
Minneapolis. They believe the eyes OF the
President are upcl them, and that IL he Is
successful in getting another term he will
reward them.
Under the circumstances it seems TO be
useless 10 talk about Lincoln, or Reed, or

candidates whose names have been mem
toned 10 connection with the nomination.
There isn't one Of them that has a chance
that ia worth considering.
Blaine is the only man who could get the
nomination away from the President, and
he has stated positively that his name will
not be before the convention. The Presl-
dents denomination. therefore, may be re-
garded as certain.
And although he will be renominated
with very little, il any, opposition, his re-
nomination will not create any enthusiasm.
II Is safe TO say that a majority Of his party
would prefer some other man. A good deal
more fat, therefore, will have to be fried
out Of the manufacturers this year than
four years ago for campaign purposes. 1t
will require vast amount Of 1t TO get up
much enthusiasm for the President.

Murder and Suicide.

An unusual and bloody tragedy was
enacted in the Smithfield quarters, about
half mile above Colfax, on the night of
Wednesday, Dec. 18th. Dennis Pinkney,
a mulatto, about Is years old, in fit OF
jealous rage shot his negro wife or concu-
bine, and then running hundred yards
or more shot and almost instantly killed
himself.
The woman was shot twice, one ball en-
terlng her side about two inches to the
left of the left nipple. and passing trans
versely through the body, the other also
entering the left side, near the first short
rib. DR.. Jones pronounces her injuries
fatal. Pinkney shot himself in the hol-
low of the neck, the pistol ball ranging
downward.
The killing Of Pinkney was an undoubt-
ed suicide, as he told Mr.. Townsend and
others who got to him. before he died
that he shot himself on purpose.
