Dam Bayou Lafourche.

just now the great question agita-
ting the minds of the people dwelling
along the fertile banks of the La
fourche is.shall the bayou be damed
or locked? At a meeting of the levee
board officials held a few days ago at
Baton Rouge, it was held, strange to
say that the levee system was a fiat
failure as applied to this stream and
it was decided to ask the United
States Government to put in locks or
build. a dam at the head of the bayou
at Donaldsonyille. Representatives
of the Lafourche Levee Board are to
meet the Government Engineers in
New York shortly in the interest of
the plan to place locks in the bayou.
Why not petition the General Gov
eminent to spend some money on
Bayou Lafourche, experimenting with
with Captain John Cowden's plan?
We have always taken some stock in
Cowden's scheme and for a long time
have regarded Bayou Lafourche an
ideal streamst to test his theory. Every
time a crevasse has occurred on this
bayou it has proven that outlets do
lower the flood level. From Lock-
port to the Gulf is a stretch of over
forty miles viii ,h could safely be
turned over to Captain Cowden to
experiment upon. Time has demon
strated that Eads and his jetty theory
are as rank humbugs as the conten-
ton that a stream in an a%lluvial soil
can scour itself deeper if leveed in by
staunch embellishments. Give Cow
den q chance!

The Reunion at Baten Rouge.

The reunion of Confederate yeter-
ans. to be held at Baton Rouge on
July 3rd and 4th, will be the first
State reunion of the kind ever held in
the State of Louisiana. Capt. John
McGrath, Chairman of the Invitation
Committee, notifies us that the good
citizens of Baton Rouge are earnestly
cooperating with Camp No. II,
U. C. v. in preparing a hospitable
welcome to all who attend, assuring
them in advance, of a pleasant time.
They not only invite the veterans but
the general public also.
General w. FL. Tunnard, the divi-
sion commander of the u. G. ", is
to issue a call for a State convention,
to which delegates from all the camps
will be sent, that will be held here on
the first day, July 8, of the reunion.
An interesting programme under the
auspices Of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy is under way, and OF
the attractive features will be an
elaborate flower parade headed by a
cavalry company Of fifty young Ia
dies wearing the gray, all daughters
of veterans. Hon. John Allen, Cen
erals t. C. Catchings, Cabell, Hook
er, SD. Lee, and other prominent
veterans are expected and will de-
liver addresses on the occasion.
An old fashioned barbecue, given
under the avenue of oaks on the at
tractive campus of the university
grounds, will be another pleasant
feature of the reunion. The sleeping
apartments of the university and Deaf
and Dumb Institute have been placed
at the disposal of the veterans, and
many visiting veterans will be taken
care of free of charge.

1t clearly sets forth the advantage
of New Orleans and Louisiana for
intercourse with South America
which is instructive and interesting
from beginning to end, and the Board
and Commissioner Jastremski are to
be highly complimented in their eff
fort to encourage and augment our
commerce. and trade with South
America. The valuable and extern
sive trade of this vast country is nat
urally tributary to New Orleans, and
if her merchants only exert themselves
a little along the lines indicated by
