An equestrian statue of General
Hancock was unveiled at Wash
ington on May 18th before an inn
mense gathering. The statute is
a splendid one, and-it is right and
proper that the virtues of Han
cock, the Superb" should be hand
ed down to posterity in bronze to
commemorate not only his services
to his country, but the character
of the man. Louisianians will al
ways have q tender spot in their
hearts for General Hancock for
the manner rim which he discharged
the delicate and difficult duties
that surrounded him as military
Governor of Louisiana during the
dark days of reconstruction.

THE ARKANsAS LEHEEs.

Capt. A. r. Martin, the we'll
known 'levee contractor, was in
st. Joseph Monday and tells US
that the levees IN Arkansas on the
Mississippi river are in splendid
condition, and the best along the
river. This fact is due to the pol
icy of Capt. Towpsend, the engi-
neer in charge, who as far as prac-
ticable made entirely new works,
there being a very scant line there
before. Capt. Martin says that
they are all considerably above
grade, and are prepared to with
stand successfully a water like
that of 1882. AS we in this Sec
ton are dependent in large
measure upon the-levees In Arkan-
sas, the above facts viii be very
gratifying to our readers.

but is proportioned to accord with the
fchus or wide collars which veil the top

The sack coat is to the fore for spring
wear. The cape, boasting even greater
charms than ever, awaits its OppOrtuni-
ty till the May blossoms usher in the
sunshine Of another summer. The sack
shape is seen not only in the smooth
faced cloths, but IN the richer fabrics.
and depends for its elegance on deco
rated yoke or epsulet. A quite new coat
in modified form Of sack reveals just
suspicion of a curve at its sides, and en-
plOys its fullness in two box plalts.
Made of black faced clOth, with collar
epaulets Of beaded black applique on
crown satin, this coat is decidedly eff

GOT AN APPETITE FOR SOUP.

GOT AN APPETITE FOR SOUP
British Soldiers at Eirst Looked Vvlth
Contempt Upon the MIXTURE
Once as a lieutenant colonel. indig-
nant at the wholesale waste of excellent
soup bones, i ordered the master cook
to insure, under lain Of my displsasure,
that large cauldrons filed with the
otherwise untitled materials should
be kept simmering for my inspection
three times a week. To this he was to
add peameal. seasoning. etc. ct the cost
of @ few pence, not charged to the men;
and as a guaranty Of obedience he was
to habitually send in to my orderly
room. just before the mems dinners, a
specimen of his brew. Respectful re-
monstrances from cooks and sergeants,
to which 7 blandly replied, Yes un-
destand your objections; but-the SOUP
shall be made" I found it-oh, SO good
on a cold day nearly equivalent to
hot meal.
After a weeks trial Spokesman from
the messes addressed to me further and
urgent complaints, always with the ut
most respect. Eve don't like this here
soup. sir. nasty, thick, greasy; poor
stuff with nothing to feel between the
teeth; We don't like to see it on the ta-
bic" But You do not pay one farthing
for it," pointed out to the malcontents-
you need not consume this gratuitous
food if you do not like it, and you are
not deprived of one ounce of your ration
meat My instructions must be carried
out. and kettles of soup must be placed
in the rooms until further orders.
They retired. silenced but unconvinced-
About three weeks later / ascertained
the further developments Of my innova-
ton. For a few days the soup had con-
tinued to be eyed with anger; and, un-
tasted. to be relegated to the gutter
Then by degrees one or two of the men
thought they might as well swallow a
little Of the savory food. Their exam
pie was soon followed, and finally it was
generally hailed as a delicious addition
to their meal.

neither the cut Of bodices nor blouses is
