CHICAGO'S NOTED RIVER.
If Not Washed Too Clean the Historic
Stream May BE Seen Flowing
Both Ways.

That the drainage canal can flow two
ways at once may seem queer but
Isham Randolph, chief engineer of the
sanitary district, says it is entirely pos
sible. Not only is it possible, says he,
but in all probability there will be half
a dozen or a dozen times a year when
such peculiar phenomenon may be
observed.
A southwest wind following soon aft
er northeast wind would almost GER
tainly create such a condition, accord
ing to Mr.. Randolph. As everyone at
all familiar with the whims and pecu-
liarities of Lake Michigan knows, sus-
tanned northeast wind lasting several
days will raise the level at the Chicago
end of the lake and send great quanti-
ties of water into the Chicago river. A
southwest wind has the opposite effect
and the effect would be most marked
when brought about Immediately after
a northeaster. The water piled up in
the drainage canal would begin TO flow
out to the lake, with the falling level.
That is, the surface water would. The
actual flow in the c&aa =Sould be main
tanned, owing to tie open sluice gates
at the Lockport end, so the two-mile an
hour flow toward Lockport would keep
up, but beneath the surface. As long as
the southwest breeze would last the wa
ter would be flowing the two ways at
once.
81 never saw that so c.raz.y illus
trated," said Mr.. Randolph, IN explain
ing the phenomenon, ''as one day when
we were pumping wa+.aT out of pool
in the canal when we were building it.
The pumped water was all 'riled' and
black and it poured into some exceed
ingly clear water from spring near
the Des PLANES river. There was a
breeze, enough to create a surface cur
rent on the clear water, through which
the current of yellow water could be
clearly observed flowing in the opposite
direction. Straws and chips thrown
out on top of the clear water We're
borne along its surface, one way, while
several feet below the CRIME and silt
of the pumped current were plainly Wis
ible moving the other way."-Chicago

been through one civil war, and having
known by experience all of it's horrors,
| would surrender the presidency even
if | felt that l had been elected, rather
than have a civil war over it. Many peo-
pie blamed Mr.. Tilden at that time for
not insisting upon his Inauguration,
but he was patriotic and wise in declin-
ing to carry his contest to the arbitra-
ment of war.
Speaking of civil war reminds me of
hundreds of scenes and incidents in
that four years of fighting. During the
greater part of the time l was on Vir-
ginia soil with Huntons brigade, and
we were kept busy all of the time.
With plenty of money and unlimited
resources, during the first two years of
the war, we had plenty of supplies, food
and clothing. Even then the hardships
of army life were severe enough. But
when our cause was falling when we
could get no money from abroad, when
our confederate paper money was de-
preciated and depreciating, when our
ports were blockaded and our supplies
exhausted, our sufferings were as in
tense as those which were suffered by
the continental army under Washing
ton at Valley Forge and elsewhere.
Moreover, our soldiers, believing in
their cause, were as patriotic and noble
as were their ancestors. the heroes who
fought for the liberty of the IS colonies.
There are thousands of living con-
federate soldiers who will freely admit
that the cause wa5 wrong, and who will
say that it is a blessing to all of us and
to our posterity that we have a great
united country, but no self-respecting
confederate soldier will say or permit
anyone to say that the confederate sol
diers were not as patriotic, self-sacrific-
ing heroes as ever carried arms for any
cause in the history of the world. And
on many Il battlefield we learned to re-
spect the soldiers of the north. No sol
diers on earth but southern men could
have made such a charge as Pickett's
men made at Gettysburg. No soldiers
in the world but northern soldiers could
have withstood that charge and rolled
our shattered columns back from those
heights.

WHAT ARE THE MAJOR oNEsa
ton: "MinOr Immoralities of
the Tobacco Habit"

DR.. Matthew Wood, in the Journal
of the American Medical Association,
writes on this subject. If these are
the minor immoralities. we should like
TO inquire what the major ones could
be. He says: The vulgarity and Ii.
centiousness of the press, with its mer'
cenary pandering to vice, corrupting
as it does that very fountain of ma
tional strength, the home; the lubrici-
ty, the demoralizing baseness, of the
degraded drama; Disagreement of
hoardings by the cigarette-soalled in
decencies of the variety stage, making
it difficult for our children to walk the
streets without contamination; the
growing fondness for certain social
functions with their fiimsy vaudeville
adornments; the mockery of and at
tempted CELEBRATION of personal puri-
tanism; the Grass things done by to-
bacco-Dlased young people; degrade
ton of seats of learning by the intro
duction of smoking-rooms, those ho.S
beds of vice and agnosticism, of ballsA
dancing and brainless burlesque-in-
becility and irreverence under the aus
pieces of fashion; Gefilement of publ.
buildings by foul receptacles provided
for a people so base that it is neces-
sary to ask them please not to spit on
the floor; the negro-minstrel methods
of some of our churches; the effem-
macy Of religious periodicals with

the sum total of S347,217 was checked
out, for transportation of troops. The
stubs of the check book show every
transaction until the close of the war.
The largest check drawn was for $780,
900 in favor of the Richmond q DanYille
Railroad company; but marginal note
shows that the company accepted $780,
900 in coin in lieu of the 100000 in con-
federate checks. To such an extent
had the value of confederate money de-
preciated.
The total amount of paper money is
sued by the confederacy was 81 500, 0O0,-
600. That is an immense sum to con-
template, and all of it became value
less. Towards the close of the war
milk brought $40 quart in Richmond,
IN confederate money. Lunch at a res
taurant cost 500. Coffee was five dol
lars per cup, and it was not good coffee,
either. Gen. Hunton says that these
conditions were brought about not only
because the confederate money of law
full issue had deprecated, but because
that money was counterfeited, and
ituhulSuS VI thOuSdHIS VI counterfeit
confederate money flooded the south.
The confederate government was pow
erless to stop this practice, because the
counterfeiting was done in the north.
Northern spectators bought cotton
with this counterfeit money. Inasmuch
as it only cost them the price of print
ing, they could afford TO pay fabulous
prices for the cotton, and then the
money was circulated throughout the
south by its innocent holders.
1t is not generally known, but it is a
fact, that previous to the civil war this
government had a mint at Dahlonega,
Ga, where gold to the amount of about
$7,000,000 was minted; and most Of
the gold was taken from mines in that
vicinity. But when the war began the
mines were deserted, and they have
never since been operated. Because CT
the scarcity of gold within the boun-
diaries of the confederacy, that govern
ment was never able to establish mint,
and hence was obliged to depend upon
its issues of paper money.
All these interesting facts resulted
from the brief conversation with dear
old Gen. Hunton, who, in speaking OF
the electoral commission, made earnest
ard feeling reference to the war be-
tween the states which has been aptly
termed THE Irrepressibie Conflict"

Hunton this afternoon. There were Is

even until now, although | am almost
70 years old. The electoral commission
was created by congress in order that
there might be peaceful settlement of
the contest for the presidency, in Jan
uary, 1877.
whether that commission was com
stltutional or not has always been a
mooted question. But that makes no
difference; the representatives of the
people agreed upon the commission,
and its conclusions were accepted. 1t is
singular fact that the learned judges
and lawmakers composing that COM
mission were swayed in their conclu-
sions by their partisan inclinations,
rather than by calm, cool Judgment.
Eight republican members of the COM
mission voted in favor of Hayes, and
seven democratic members voted in ia
vor of Tilden, on all controverted
points, and Hayes was declared elected,
and he was inaugurated.
"The people of the entire country
were greatly excited, and there was
