s. New Orleans are propcrtionally

with q deeper channel rates
could be reduced, and st. Louis
become the grain market of the
world. Further than this, we ex-
pect that if the plan succeeds be-
low st. Louis, we will get it into
use above that city. With a SIX
foot channel as far North as St
Paul, / can assure you that YOU
would soon see boats, the finest
Fever known, on the upper river de-
parting daily for St. Louis, as
there wouldbe travel and freight
to Justify it, and in connection
with this same subject, the Presl-
dent Of the Mississippi Valley
Transportation Co. says that II we
had an eight and one halt foot
lchannel between st. LOUIS and
New Orleans, it would draw to st.
Louis one hundred and fifty mil
lion bushels of grain per annum. =
1t will thus be seen that the
effect Of establishing deep water
navigation between St. Louis and
New Orleans win be to increase
the commerce carried on on that
great river at least one hundred
fold.

Reber, are taking time by the fore

/. THE. LONGEVITY OF THE
NEGRO.

A very interesting subject has
engaged the attention of scientists
and statisticians in the shape of
the investigation. of the compare
tive longevity of the negro, in a
state of slavery and Of freedom.
We aresindebted to Mr.. R. s..
Young, Of Adams County, Missis-
sippi, for Some very Valuable
memoranda taken from his fathers
plantation books, which are now
in his possession, and which have
been very carefully preserved.
They are as follows:
son December 22d, 1922, the
late DR.. Benjamin F. Young, of
Lake st. Peter, in Tensas parish,
Louisiana, inherited in Wilkinson
County, Mississippi, from relatives
one hundred slaves, of whom fifty
four were natives of the States of
Maryland and Virginia.
"Of the natives, twenty-one, or
nearly forty per cent, lived beyond
seventy-five years of age.
"Of the imported-fourteen or
over thirty per cent-lived to be
seventy years of age.
"Of the whole number, six are
stiH living at this date, April 4th,
! 1896.
All of those negroes who have
died at an advanced age, since the
WAR, did not leave the plantation
nor alter their manner of living
during or after the war"
! Attention has been called by the
| Southern Press to the mortality
Of the negroes in the large cities,
which is out of all proportion to
the mortality among the other
races, while in. the country, on the
plantations, so far as we have
been able to observe, the mortali-
lty of the negro is not greater than
shat of the white race.
In this parish particularly the
humber of young negroes to be
seen on the plantations arrests
the attention of every one, and we
suppose that the more regular
habits, mode of living and diet Of
the hegre in the rurua1 districts
has contributed to the making OF
this difference
Mr.. Young remarks inhis letter
that t'war, flood and fire have laid
waste so many of the old planta-
ItioIf homes that reliable data will
soon be beyond the reach of the
\ most industrious research. This
memoranda was taken from plan
tation records that good forum,
has aided in preserving"
! There is no doubt but that OF
many of the plantations in Tensa'
/ parish are old records filed with
most interesting data, which
would be of great value to the flu
ture historians of the South anC
! should be preserved.
