the shore batteries unframed Grant sought
to divert the waters of the Mississippi away
from the city by digging a new channel.
The great river refused at the time to take
the new course marked out for II, but IL
eventually did so, more than thirty years
after such action could be of any use to the
Union army
Naturally the people Of Vicksburg did not
accept with good grace the Mississlppi's be-
lated performances, so damaging to their ma
terial interests. They clamored for a res
toration, of the old days. when
they dwelt navigable waters,
and when stately floating palaces
touched at the wharves and trade
fourished. They appealed to Congress
for aid, and the national lawmakers made
an appropriation for constructing a canal
northward to the Yazoo river. This canal
was recently completed. and the water was
let into the channel deserted by the Missis-
sippi The flow was abundant and filled the
space from bank to bank, making Vicks-
burg once more a river town. The event
caused general rejoicing In the city, which
has already begun to feel the good effects
of renewed traffic.

THE HIGH WATER.
Situation 1t Actually Is ON the
Lower Mississippi.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Relative to the present high water, most
of the facts are so well known and the n.y.
biography of the Mississippi so well under
stood that there Is no excuse for mistakes
one way or the other. There is nothing to
be gained by minimizing the high water,
by holding out false hopes or by deceiving
the people into a false security; but, on
the other hand, equal IL not greater harm
will be done by exaggerating the facts and

OF disaster. great many such exagger-
ated stories are being sent out just now.
to the injury OF this section, producing
the most absurd misapprehensions of the
conditions existing here; and the panic
which may be caused thereby will have the
effect OF interfering seriously with the work
of keeping up our levees. instead OF encour-
aging to protect and maintain them.
IL the people are frightened away to the
towns by the story that the levees will not
hold much longer, how can these bikes be-
protected and cared for as they should be?
The leading established facts In regard
to the present high water
I. We will have throughout the greater
portion of the river country the highest
water known
2 We are able. by experience to calculate
just how high the water will come (unless
there should be more heavy rains above)
and when the maximum will be reached at
each point on the Mississippi.
& The levees are in excellent condition.
and. far as height Is concerned, are fully
capable OF standing the present flood
T. The levee engineers and experts de-
clare that unless some Unforeseen and I'M
preventable accident occurs there will be no
overflow.
Two doubtful points are as to the con-
tinuance of rains and the duration of the
flood in the event of crevasses The
Weather Bureau has fixed thirty-nine feet
at Memphis, forty-eight feet at Nicksburg
and twenty-one feet at New Orleans as the
height the river Is likely 10 reach and has
even given the day upon which this maxi
mum will be reached. IL there are very
heavy rains above. causing the tributaries
to rise still higher. the figures of maximum
height will. of course, not hold good, and
the outlook will grow distinctly worse If
there are any breaks i'm the line of levees
IL will delay the flood from passing. The
maximum will not be reached at the date
given by the Weather Bureau, but later.
and the strain upon the levees will continue
longer IL is this prolonged strain, when
the ievees become water sogged and remain
so for months, that Is one OF the great ele-
ments OF danger 10 them.
We know. therefore. exactly what we
must expect. unless there should be more
rains above. and. therefore. what we must
prepare against Under these circumstances
we know what should be done and what

VIII Await Mr.. PayPe's Return.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-No action
will be taken by the Postoffice Depart
ment with reference to complaints against
the office of assistant attorney general for
the Postoffice Department in connection
with turf investment companies until the
return of Postmaster General Payne, who
is now in the West Indies. Pending his re-
turn Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow will continue an investigation of
the matter with view to full report to
Mr. Payne James ~. Tyner, the assistant
attorney general for the department, said
to-day that ne would not resign in view
of the complaints that had been made
against his office. The appointment rests
with the postmaster general. No suspicion
attaches to Mr.. Tyner. but in view of his
advanced age and the fact that some COM
plant was made against his subordinates,
an intimation had been made that his
RESIGNATION would be accepted

HELENA, Ark, March 1.-THE river sit

rious than it has been at any time since
the flood has been prevailing. The rise for
the past thirty-six hours amounts to a lit
tie over foot. the gauge at s p. m. standing

guage read 1875. The rise during the past
twelve hours has been nearly half a foot.

looks for q 51-foot gauge here before the
end of the week and predicts that the St.
Francis levees will not be able to stand
the strain being placed upon them by the
floods. A break above is regarded as the
only thing that will relieve the levees Of
the cotton-belt district, but the officials do
not anticipate any trouble in caring for all
the water that comes. North Helena is
completely inundated and many families
were compelled to move.

MOVING A RIVER.
Leslie's Weekly.

Leslies Weekly.
Until about the beginning OF the last
decade all the geography classes in our
schools were taught, and correctly, that the
city OF viclssburg, Miss. made historic
during the civil war, was situated on the
bank OF the Mississippi river. This state
ment however, ceased TO be a fact some
ten or more years ago. when the father

forced a new channel for himself and left
Vicksburg perched on high BLUM, several
miles inland. The town, which had been
one of the most important steamboat ports
on the big stream, was thus suddenly de-
prived of much of the traffic that had
caused IL to prosper. Strangely enough the
misfortune was an echo OF the famous
siege OF Vicksburg. and Gen. u. S. Grant
was primarily responsible for IL. In order

servant month or six
weeks in various household duties,
after which they will be hired out
by the hour TO householders. The
scarcity of hired girls has become so
great that the Boston women have
adopted this means as last resort.
The publication from which we
gather this information does not
state how the young girls are to be
obtained, but the St. Louis Globe
Democrat ventures the supposition
that they are to be kidnapped. When
taken in early youth, before their
habits are formed, and trained for

viii prove quite docile. Parties OF
Boston women armed with lassoes
will go out about twilight in those
haunts whore young girls congre-
gate, at ice cream soda and chocolate

club-woman whoops will institute q
"drive." When the young girls are
thoroughly frightened a deft toss of
the lasso will bring them to the
ground. They can then be bound
and borne OF to the Back Bay house.
The method seems rude, even for
Boston, but we must have servants
