LOUISIANA SINKING INTO THE SEA.
Recently the Picoyune printed rather
startling statement from Mr.. E. l..
Corthell, the distinguished civil engi-
neer, to the effect that the Louisiana
coast and lowlands are slowly sinking
into the sea- This sinking is said TO
be at the rate of a foot in forty years.
The statement is not nearly so fright
full as it at first seems, for, although
much of Louisiana is only few feet
above sea level, a period of several CEN
turtles will be required before actual
submergence can take place, and so the
inhabitants will have plenty of time t.
move out before the deluge can result
from the sinking process.-Ne'c Orleans
Picdyune.

There were two members of that num-

lnebrlates before the recorder this morn-
ing They were arrested by the police
force last night, and had dozed the hours
away within the enclosure of prison walls.
This morning they did not give evidence
of much intoxication; but, from the CLEAN
of eye and the nervous movement of hand
it was very evident they had drank deeep
from the "maddenlng bowl" The re-
corder was good -natured; he smiled as
he viewed the prisoners, and, In tones
which might have been more appropriate
with Caezar when he ordered his legions
onward to conquest against brave and
defiant foe, fined the two unfortunates IS
apiece. "This world is all fleeing
show for mans delusion glven," was
emphaticallp expressed by the unfortu-
nate victims, and they departed on their
road through this wilderness of woe"
with keener susceptibility to the virtues
of soberness and the vices of intexics

Spurious $50 bills are in circulation
and it behooves our business men to be
on the Qui uiue. Last Friday woman
in Spokane purchased cloak and hand
ed the clerk 500 bill in payment.
When the clerk was about to hand her
her change he perceived something
strange in the figures $50, "and on in
vestigating he discovered that "5'' had
been pasted over a 81" the "X" and
word stem" were blurred passed recog-
milton.
cat once the clerk remarked, this bill
has been tampered WITH"
Very innocently the woman looked at
the bill saying at the same time: "How
funny! Why. go it has! Well, I won't
take the clio k anyway" She did, how
ever, and the bill ID preserved in the
store as an effort of what man and
woman will do to beat Uncle Sam.
