THE NEW CHANNEL.
Progress of the Dredgjng'in the Delaware
River. az


River. a.
The work of dredging the channel
through Cherry Island flats is making
satisfactory progress. 1t was begun on
November I'd, six months before the
time specified in tho contract. That
this important pieoe OF work, which
msans SO much to the maritime and
commercial prosperity of Philadelphia,
has been thus early commenced and is
now being pushed forward with SO
much vigor, ia due to the sourtesy of
tho contractors Messrs. Morris Il
Cummings OF New York. in yielding
to the repeated and earnest solicit
tations of the Philadelphia Maritime
Exchange to commence the work now
and get navieable deep water chan
mel cut through the flats before the
winter sets in.
To meet the immediate needs Of
Philadelphia port the contractors will
cut channel from $50 to 200 feet
wide, to depth Of from 90 to q feet
at low water, through the entire length
of the fats. This will necessitate the
removal of about 400, 900 cubic yards Of
material, at cost of little less than
$40, 600. The flats are one mile long,
and the present depth Of water over
them varies from 10 feet at low water
on the crest of the bar to "a feet ut
high tide. The dredged material is
being taken to the government dump
behind Bulkhead Bar Dyke, on the
Jersey shore, between four and five
miles below New Castle. Masters and
pilots of vessels are requested to slow
down the vessels under their charge
when passing the dredging plant as
the contractors have been put to much
Inconvenience by the breaking Of their
hawsers caused by the swells from
vessels running at high rate of speed.

of Mrs. Tyler. She was not % years old

ried to James A. Semple. The portrait
of her, by Healy, which was painted
during her fathers administration,
shows an attractive and graceful young
woman. Her recollectiops of the adj
ministration, of the simplicity of the
home life, her long daily drives with her
father over a part of the country that is
filed with residences now and of the
presidents delight in her Scotch songs,
are very interesting.
Mrs. Semple was heroine during the
civil war. The first hospital i'll the con-
federate states was established by her,
and she set the example which was fol-
lowed by many of the ladies belonging
to the best families in the south who
left their homes and went into the hos

Semple was one of the sufferers from
the civil war and her beautiful old home
was destroyed.
After the peace this daughter of Presi-
