Levees or earth entertainments as ,
certain means of protection from
overflow in the great valley, has with
in the past year engrossed the careful
attention of scientists all over thi,
continent. Much discussion has been
had and variety of conflicting views
have been elected.
We give room this week for Mr.. G.
N. buttons paper, which we find in
the Engineering Magazine" written
to show that "levees are indispensable. p
1t is bright intelligent composition,
bristling with statistics to establish
the position he has assumed and is
entitled to thoughtful perusal; but
1t has the same weakness that belong
to the compositions of nearly all the
advocates OF levees, and levees alone.
They fail to account for the immense
quantity of silt and earthly matter that
is found floating in the current and
eddies of the big river as the result of
the abrasion of the river banks in the
numerous bends. Before The natural
outlets were closed up, the earthly
matter we speak of was distributed IN
vast quantities of varied depths over
the low lands of the interior. Where
does it go to now? Is it not precipit-
ated to the bed of the river all along
its route !? Gradually, slowly, but
surely filling it up, and thereby caus-
ing continuous increase in the
heighth of the levees.
This is an important, an all import
ant question just now, aud it should
be discussed calmly and intelligently.
There are many men Of large expert
snce and great breadth of thought
who hold that the deposit heretofore
distributed over the land is now filling
Up the bed of the river. This view
las often been ridiculed and laughed
It but is it correct? That is the
question. 1t behoves the engineers
md those in authority TO solve this
question aud set it at rest one way or
he other in reasonable and satisfac-
DRY manner.

The tightening, thunder and rain
started in with considerable violence
at the beginning OF this week, aud thus
far the war of elements and heavy wet
has been kept up with destructive
regularity.
The rain fall seems to increase in
volume as the season advances. Such
unpropitious weather for the summer
solstice has rarely been seen in this
section.
The responses to our inqnirers
about the condition of the cotton crops
in the parish are dismal and gloomy
in the extreme. A general feeling of
discouragfnent seems to prevail with
but very few exceptions, and it is not
by any means an agreeable task to tell
of the deplorable outlook for cotton
each week without any CLEAN OF
timely improvement. Things are
about as bad as they well could be and
we SO close ON to the beginning of the
new commercial year.
Business being in strict sympathy
with the crop outlook amounts to |
nothing more than what is needed for |
actual subsistence. The health OF our
people is very good for the season of
the year.

The Providence base ball grounds
were largely crowded on Thursday
afternoon with fair ladies and citizens
generally, to witness the contest for
supremacy on the diamond between
Anterior and Providence mines. The
weather for the season of the year was
all that could be desired, feecy clouds
covered the sky, with an occasional
sprinkle, which did not materially in
terfere with the game. Messrs. Hope
and Tompkins were scorers, and Afh-
erton went to the bat when The game
was called. Messrs. Bonney and
Stein were umpires. After the first
inning the superiority of the Provi-
dence nine became evident. Ed.IIauff
pitched for all there was in sight for
the Ather;on and DEMO caught every
thing that came near him in centre
field. Dantzler behind the bat stopped
every ball that came along and Aschai-
fenburg as shcrt stop done tall work.to
save his nine from defeat, but it was
all in vain. Providence had lis pride
provoked and was determined to win.
Tom Davis pitched aud the bows
caught every ball that was batted BY |
the Atherton's, and when the game |
was called at sun down the score /
stood Providence, seven innings, 20; i
Atherton's, eight innings, 8, with one
score.
There was some fine ball playing done
Dy the Providence nine, but we for
bear itemising the good work, seeing
hat our friends from the second ward
