The Illinois Central aud Texas &
Pacific railroads have made the
proposal TO build and maintain a
levee in front OF New Orleans, high
enough to protect that city from
flood, on condition that they are
allowed to run and operate a double
track thereon. The r. =. further
agrees, if the proposal bc accepted
to waive it's claims to other streets
and to drop its litigation against
the city. Tie offer has so much of
benefit TO both parties and so little
ct objection, that there is small
doubt that it will he accepted.

Protection for Lower st.
FranciSyiIle.

We are pleased to observe that
our suggestion two weeks since
with regard to levce protection for
lower st. Francisyille is meeting
with favor from all quarters, and
unless the matter is allowed to
lapse when the water subsidies and
the need for levee is no longer
apparent, there will be one pro
vlded before another season of
hood comes upon us. The railway
alone will hardly be caught again,
and the measures SO taken vii,
% largely protective of lower st.
frahclsvIlle as we'll. But our peo.
PIE slon'd not depend solely upon
the arrangements the railroad NAV
make, but should step forward and
propose some schemeof cooperation
mutually helpful and saving of ex.
pense. In that way, the town will
maintain q part of the control Mt =

A Lynclling in East Feliciana,

A negro named Charlie jackson
was hanged at McManus Monday
night. He had been arrested on
the charge Of attempting to wreck
tie train on the jackson railroad.
and while in the custody of the
constable, Mr.. Noteworthy, who
was taking him to Clinton to place
him in Jail, was captured by u body
of about % men. Next morning the
Negroes body was discovered hang.
ing from at"ee near the public road.
The constable says lie did not roc.
osnize any Of the lyncllers.
Train-wrecking is such a terrible
crime, that it surely could meet
with fit punishment at the hands of
the law without resort to lynchiny
1t speaks very little for the conf.
dence felt in the moral sentiment of
juries in our sister parish.

they think it necessary that they
should have apersonal acquaintance
with the dark and seamy side of
life. Many u man who has peered
into the abyss 'just to>see what it

fallen almost hopelessly. A young
man was talking to a pilot on one
OF our big steamers. "How long,

Piled, "Twenty:fve years, aud |

The lower part of Baton Rouge-
known as Catfish tOwn-is flooded,

These insects have made their
appearance i'll West Feliciaua
They were first heard of around
Laurel He'll butnow they are beco,n
Ing numerous in other parts of the
parish, their peculiar sl,riIl cl,irp,
forming the most noticeable note
in the woodland music of today.
They are invested with II certain,
interest to every one on account of
the periodicity of their return, and
are regarded with not q little awe
by tile sHperstitious who believe
that the w they dnscry on the
back of the insect presages war.
The thoughtful mind will suggest,
at once, that the fltetul letter
stands for wealth as we'll as for
war, and that tile latter signifca.
ton was adopted at time when
war was more common than now.
anu omens could easily be found
which the subsequent event would
prove correct. The locusts in cues.
ton, have probably no more occult
reason tor appearing than that due
to their order of being. They be.

tendec'm. The females lay their
eggs in tie twigs of trees. When
the eggs hatch, the Larvae go down
the branches to the trunk thence to
the veryend of the roots where thew
fasten themselte by the beak
through which thcydraw suste,ance
from tile root during their long
period OF quiesceMe. No change
comes over them except. a gradual
increase in size, and when tue time
OF transformation approaches they
come nearer the surface, and make
cylindrical holes several inches in
diameter, which they cement and
Varn's'' and thus make imperyious
to water. In this they remain sew.
eral days before issuing from the
ground, which they do towards
evening, casting their skin and
making ready for flight. The ado.
1escent lite of these insects being
passed underground, accounts
tor such long intervals between
their disappearance and their re.
appearance.
IN this section the period seems
TO he less than seventeen years, as
they were here in 1854, and some
were seen as late as 1890. 1t may
be that atmospheric and other
conditions make them lDature,more
quickly at some times than others,
1t is worth noting that the two
dates above were high water years,
but whether that has anything to
DO with them, is left to more de.
voted entomologist than The True

Death to Files.

This is the season of the year when
an improvement in fly traps will be
appreciated by every housekeeper. One
Of the latest Of these devices is recep-
tacle made preferably of glass and
blown in such a shape that it's lower
portion is outwardly curved with
the receptncle, forming trough, in
which any suitable liquid may be held,
in which it is designed to have the in
sect drop and drown, suitable means
being provided to induce the insects to
pass within the receptacle. and, COM
ing in contact with the inner curved
wall Of the trap, fall back into the
liquid. While it is common in the art
to construct insect traps substantially
of the construction described, as far as
the shape of the trap is concerned,
what is claimed as new is mirror,
which is. either placed at the upper
portion Of the trap, about its upper
surface, with material which may re-
fleet from the under side, whereby flies
or other insects which may be feeding
below the trap. may see their images
in the rejecting portion above, and, fly-
ing toward it, come forcibly against the
inner wall of the glass and fall back
into the liquid in the trough beneath.-
