RELEASED EACH OTHER.
MatrimOmia1 Bureau CDUrts1Hfp Ends Somewhat Abruptly, But to
 Mutual Satisfaction.

James S. Good, a wealthy attleman of Navarro, Texas, and Miss Mary An drews, of Covington, Ky, who had won each others heart by mail through the medium of a matrimonia1 bureau, met at the courthouse eatLeayenworth,K Kan, to be married. Each had what purport- ed to be photograph of the other, and 1t was expected that the recognition would be mutual, but it was. not.
 The two wandered through the cor riders for three hours, passing each other score of times, without 8 suspi cion as to the true state of affairs. Fi- nally both made inquiries of the mar riage license clerk, and thus they met
 The Texan gasped, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, when he realized that the over-plump, none-too-fair maiden be- fore him had for four months been the one object of his hearts desire, and re- f1ected that she had letters from him which would give her a verdict without the jury leaving the box
 The maiden, too, was apparently a bit disappointed in her cavalier. She drew his photograph from her pocket, looked first at it and then at tke Texan, finally remarking, evidently referring to the photograph:
 Well, don't see hoy he ever did it. '
 This broke the ice, and in three min-

CITY HAS TO BE PUMPED DRY.
LOv-Lying New Orleans Cannot Be Drained by the Ordinary
 Methods

The city of New Orleans, like most of the land at each side of the M1ssls- sippi river in the alIuyial country, lies considerably below the high water line of the Mississippi river. The whole city would be inundated by the river occasionally if it were not protected by levee along the river front. The city is also protected by levees run ming at right angles to the river-one above the city and one below it-and also by levee along the shore of Lake Pontchartrain and by levees along the banks of the various canals which reach from that lake into the territory of the municipality, says the Engineering Magazine.
 New Orleans is so near the mouth of the river that the land upon which the city is built is not only lower than the high water stage of the river, but is in part lower than the level of the gulf of Mexico and of the various lakes in the vicinity of the city, Therefore, there is no natural drain age for the land inelosed by the levees surrounding the town. The rain water that falls upon this area has to be pumped so as to force it into. either Lake Pontchartrain or Lake Borgne The city itself covers large area, all though the major portion of it's area is not built up as city, The part at present chiefly occupied by buildings consists of strip mile or so wide along the bank of the river.
 This area is the subject of rainfaIls the greatest of which for many years has been about seven and a half inches within 24 hours, which is equivalent to a cube of water 870 feet long,, wide and deep. Of course, such a rain oc- CUTS only at very rare intervals. In 1894, before work on the new drain age system was commenced, records were kept of the amount of rainfall each year, and these records have been continued until the present time. During the month of July, 1894, 325,- 73S, $50 cubic feet of water were drained away from about half the total area included in the drainage plan. This discharge for one month is equivalent to cube of water 685 feet on edge or to a lake ten miles long, 500 feet wide and ten feet deep, or to canal 80 miles long, 40 feet wide and 20 feet deep.

 Sorrows and Glory of War.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2O.-Ten thousand survivors of the civil war passed in review, marching to the mar tial tunes that inspired them to en- deavor forty years ago. Above the na- tional eolors, borne by every marcher, proudly foated torn and tattered flags. These, with empty sleeves and limp1ng gait, were eloquent reminders Of the sorrow and glory of war. Unlike the parade of the previous day, the quick marching line of youth, this procession was the measured and steady tread of age. AS the different divisions march ed along waves of sentiment passed over marchers and spectators There were many still vigorous in line, but they waited for theft weaker comrades, and the column halted often on its two mile course.
 In the long line were men from ev- cry corner of the nation. Of all the states, California excepted, the one that had the largest number in line was Illinois, but Ohio was close sec ond.
 Almost every delegation had it's em- blem-Ohio it's buckeye, Connecticut a wooden nutmeg, Minnesota loaf of bread and so on indefinitely. There was something distinctive to each group.
 The men from Vermont, "the Green Mountain State," bore a line of seven green banners, each containing letter, the whole spelling the name of the state.
 One thousand men marched under the yellow banner of Illinois. At the head marched Colonel Thomas G. Law Ter, past commander in chief of the Grand Army. The Wisconsin division was led by General Arthur MacArthr in civilian clothes.
