For ages tho process of fchoaling the salt waters slowly continuod. After tho Jam! appeared abovo the surfaco o mo river me annual overllow udded to its height. It is probable that if the settlement of Amer ica had been delayed for a few hundred years there would never have been any troublo of overflowed lauds in tho Mississippi valley Lut before the process of reclaiming or build ing these lands was eiiiindeted bv nature, men iaxoii men, poured into tho valley and claimed the land for cotton fields. From that dav tliero has boon troublo in tho valley. The river has destroyed thousands of acres of plantations, harms, bouses, towns have booj swept awav. A curious condition of nfTnir. lias anaon. As the land formed, and wa gradually compressed by the weight of now land, the lower portion of tho deposit became hard and comparatively solid. To-day the bed of the river la harder than its banks, and where the river is now coariued bv levees it, when in flood, dons not scour its bottom and' thus deepen the channel, last natural! vfltiacka ;no weaitor portion or the works opposing its on cuitioe, umi orons iu relieve useil uy ue ,ourm:r mo oaiiKs, iney oeuifr soilor. and bo create a wider or a n-'w channel for its surplus w aier.

Its work was not clone when the country was occupied, and na tiiro, conscious of the fact, strives to liuish it. J.elntid tlio river is another power and the stream blindly obeys the laws laid down for its government. Men have mastered many of tho prooicms or nature. j.i:e laws that regulato the Mowing of water are pretty well understood; out wuo among an tno men who have devoted th---ir lives to tho study of tho Mississippi can truthfully say that they understand the work ings of tho river Not one of them. Tho works that the Kovernmant emrinoers erected. confidently erected, last fall and winter, have, if tho telegraphic despatches and private let ters received from tho valley are reliable.eunk benoath tho yellow waters, and with them mil lions of public money. Under tho disguise of a scheme to improve tho navigation of tho Mississippi river, there is to-day in the lower valley an intense pur pose 10 oomin government am to reclaim tho lands of the Yazoo, Tensas, and Atchafalaya basins, tow southern men who are acquainted with the river believo that its navigation can bo improved. I have vet to seo a wilot w ho does not sneer at tho childish attempts mado by tho engineers to control tho water. Almost without exception tho pilots assert that tho river cannot no controlled, and that its naviga tion cannot bo improved. But all southern men who live ou the alluvial lands believe that it is preferable to have national money, meaning northern money, expended on tho building of levees, than it is to Lave tho money of riparian owners sink into the water during fiooda. The sentiment of the south is that the north destroyed their property during tho war, and now, the southern planters being ur.ablc to build protecting works it would be but just for the north to rebuild such works as wcro destroyed, and to replace tho levees that havo slipped into the river. Conscious that tho northern people would not submit to tho con templated appropriation of public moneys to protect private property, tho scheme of im proving the navigarion of the Mississippi, a national highway, was brought forward. Tho arguments advanced in support of this meas ure are the suppositious ones that the promo ters of tho soheme supposed were current in the western agricultural states. The truth is that the western farmers have lon since ceased to talk about the Mississippi as an av enue of trade. Thev know that it runs at right angles to the channels of trade, and they also know that tho transportation charges on froight carried on a river steamer are higher than on well-managed railroads. Jielow tho mouth of tho Ked river tho Mis sissippi needs no improvement, tho water be ing of great depth. In the face of this fact the larger portion of the S1.:J50. IX appropri ated to the repairing of levoes to improve tho navigation of tho stream was expended below lite mouth ot the iiou river, ihis sum was ap propriated bv the commission under the advice of interested local proprietors. The fact that national money was to be expended for the im provement or navigation was heralded through out tho valley, and, unable to restrain their greediness, the planters Cocked to the points where the commission sat. and eagerly set forth their views on the method of improve ment that should bo adopted. The only prac tical method of improving the navigation of the Mississippi, according to tho statements of these planters, is to protect each and every cotton held that abuts on the river. Among other schemes that our southern brothers now talk about and advocate is one to have the government, build high and wide levees, in long tangent lines, on both sides of the river. This extensive work is planned to cost at least SJti0,(K.K,(ti0. The merry southern people propose to have these levees built noma distance back from the river front, so as to have them comparatively safo from being un dermined. When the government has com pleted these costly works it is expected to turn them over to a southern company to be used as roadbeds for railroads. The railroad com panies are to agree to keep.the levees in repair. The proposition, of course, is absurd; but numbers of intelligent southerners advocate it They ntterly ignore the fact that wheu they express a desire to lay a railroad track on a levee, built to improve the navigation of tho Mississippi, they acknowl edge that steamboats cannot compete with railroads. They wisely avoid, too, the subject of the drainage of the lands that. might lie be tween the proposed levee and the river. The drainage of all the alluvial lands iu the valley is away from the river. The laud slopes back toward tho hills. Tho buildiug of levees in long tangent linos would cut off the bends and and much of the land lying immediately on tho river from their natural drainage, and render the ltnds worthless. Clai::.s for damages would arise and the total damage that would bo claimed would probably exceed the cost of the works. If tho government intends to at tempt to improve the navigation of the Missis sippi by levees, it must build along tho edges oi mo nver; and then tne ntie or tho bill should be changed to read.

The United States haj become a vast credit mobilier for tho construction of everything, without the least regard to pemianance of ownership or control. The now telegraph company which Jim Keene put out as a con struction company, leasod the right of building the telegraph at $300 per nv.Ie, whereas it costs only $100 per mile to put up poles and wires at tho'outset. On the other band Keene's sup porters say that Jay Gould's different railroads and other enterprises cost him only $o0,000,000, and be now has them capitalized at $000,000, 000, putting at par stocks which ho bought at - a it mtm CK, ba ataHs.

In America we otteu regret the seeming scan dal to which our press gives circulation. Wo do open tho sow ers of social lifo into our draw ing rooms, but one cannot long live in England without feeling that this'publicity given to per sonal character and movements in American society has a very w holcsomo side to it In England if a man is successful the rule is that it atones for all sorts of moral delinquen cies and uastiness. A Church of England clergyman paid to tho proseut writer a few weeks ago that it was perfectly well known that a member of tho present ministry, who is an unmarried man, keeps np a family estab lishment No paper in all England would ven ture to state tho fact if it be ono. Yet were it universally known to bo a faot it would not in tho loast affect his social standing.

A giddy friend of mine has had her smile photographed. She got tho idea from those pictures which, in a progressive scries.showed tho gait of a trotting horse; bnt tho riso, prog ress and fall of her grin exhibits nouo of the surprising outlaudishncss that is to be seen iu the stepping of tho horse. It is pretty all the way through, and well 6he knew it, or she wouldn't have given tho camera a show. She is not an actress who did it to exhibit" her skill in grimacing, but a society belle, vain of her lovely and expressive face, and anxious to put its most charming aspect into an imperishable iorm. "I shall bo old by and by," she said, "and then it will be so interesting to see now I smiled when I was a girl. Her real incentive, however, was not in fu- iuihv, out was aooiu as i nave already stated it. The fashionable folly of the moment takes the direction of nicety in facial expression. fuiues, pouts, saucy irowns ana otner expres sions deemed individually bewitching are care fully practiced and studied before the class. By tho way.an actress at Daly's theatre, named Ada liehan, has mado a hit by mimicking the current manners or me iew xorK girl or apex society. one reproduces tne Characteristic merging of disingouuousness into bright art fulness, the well-pretended ignorance of every thing gross or bad, the giggling impulsiveness, the obliviousness of their own clothes in short. sho is precisely the society girL with all her bewitching nonsense. I suppose Ada must be the thirty years old, but somehow she man ages to get down into the teena for stage pur poses. jmer actresses attempt the giggles of tho Fifth avenue parlor with less success. Jlouey and Fame. Washington Corres. Cleveland Leader. No, I don't want the governorship," said a leading Ohio congressman this week. "Tliers is not money enough in it Thirty-five hundred. a year and board yourself. Great God ! It don't pay. I have had enough of tho thank you business in politics, and I am now inclined to take lago's advice and put money in my purse. The glory of fame is an empty thing, and 1 would rather leave my children the leg acy of a good education and a comfortable competence than that they should sleep under the shadow of the finest monument ever erect ed by the adulation of mankind. What hav the wife and family of a great statesman after he has died a pauper? What would Mrs. Gar field have to-day had she not been favored bv peculiar circumstances?! (What is Garfield's lory to-day ? 1 toll you the world is forgetting im already, and the funds for his monument are growing very slowly.

The great man dies; the world Btops a second, and then rashes madly on. In a short time he is forgotten, and often, if he dies poor, the pedplo say, 'yes, he was a great man, bat he never laid up any thing. He worked all his life and left his fam ily poor.' And soon the nraise at the time of his death is turned into blame, and sometimes into calumny.- Scatli Rate In Hnaiu. New York Sun. At the recent medical Congress in Seville it was stated that the excessive death rate in Spain is owing to poor alimentation and un cleanly hibits.

A young widow, Mrs. Caroline Niethamer, of Philadelphia, met her death under strange cir cumstances. For more than a month she had been suffering from malari.d fever. Her phvsi.-ian saw her ou Thursday last about noon, according to his daily usage, and left: but an hour later ho was hastily summoned back to die house, to find his patient" uncoti- c:ous and in convulsions. Although the physician used every available mens to revive the woman, all efforts were fruitless, and she broathed her last ten minutes afterfhis arrival.

The Force of Kiafnra Falls Transmitted bj Wire to York Citj. May .ew D New York Journal. ' News comes from France that M. Deprejs, a well known electrician, has discovered a means of transmitting powor by electricity. At a re cent pnblio trial of his syeUin he sent six-horse power to a point twelve miles distant and ten horse power to another twenty-one miles dis tant, over an ordinary iron wiro. The loss of power while onrouto was in each caso fifty per cent, or, in other words, one-half the powor applied at one end was recovered at the other. Tho future possibilities of this discovery can not ho overestimated. By its application the powor developed by a ranning stream or water fall may be gathered and brought by telegraph to tho heart of a populous city whore fuel is dear and used to turn the shafting of factories and to light streets and dwellings. Power gen erated by steam at the coal mines, where fuel is cheap, may be sent to distant points which, Leing off the line of the railroad, have hither to boeu supplied with coal only at exorbitant rates. A largo manufacturer in New York could utilize tho power of a waterfall in the Cateklll mountains for the purpose of turning the shafting of his mills. Prof. Siemens after visiting this country made an address bofore the Glasgow university upon this subject Speaking of America and her water-courses, he said that tho day was not far distant when tho power of Niagara Falls, far greater than that of all the mills iu this state, would be dis tributed from city to city by means of elec tricity, and the great force at present running to waste would tako the place of the steam now generated by the daily combustion of hundreds of thousands of tons of coaL His idea was that the power gener ated by the fall of tho Niagara river should be made to turn turbine wheels, and these be con nected with largo electric generators. Tho electricity thus developed should be gathered and sent down through the middle of the state by moans of a great cabin, or more properly speaking, an eleotric main. Thus the entire power required to run all tho factories in tho eta to might be taken off by tapping this main at various points. ANOTHEE " SELF-MADE " MAN. Tabor' Trip From Muiall more Ip Senate-and Doivn Again, Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. to Five years ago this spring, Senator Tabor was a poor man keeping a small store in gulch near Lcadville. Two acquaintances.ono of them a shoemaker, persuaded him to mining partnership. Tabor was to furnish the "grub stake, "that is,a fow tools and provisions, and the two other men were to do the digging. The shoomakor and his friend went up the hill a little way and began work. Tabor thought the spot selected for operation unpromising, and threatened to withdraw from tho comhina lion ; nut uis partners had the tools and pro visions, and kept on digging. They very soon found ore, and Tabor bought thorn out In six mouths he had sold between $:XX),000 and $400,000 worth of ore. Tho mine thus opened is known as Little Pittsburg, and was tho basis of Tabor's fortune, which is said to amount to $10,000,000. In IftTO-'.-O, ho served as lieuten ant governor of Colorado, which was his first Eolitical honor. Then he became am itious to go to the United States sen ate as the successor of Henry ju. lener, wiio went into the cabinet, but tho prize eluded him on account of the scandal which was caused by the suit tor maintenance brought iy his deserted wife to him during tho twenty-iivo years they spent in humble circumstances. The court, it is pleasant to know, decreed that she should be supported in a manner suited to her husband's wealth, labor finally go: into the senate for the term of one month as the successor ot Secretary Teller's successor. Miss Lizzie Mo Court, to whom he has been twice married, is the daughter of a custom tailor living iu Osh- kosh, W is. She married Harvey Doe, the son oi a weamiy inmoerman. iney went to Don ver to live, where her husband lost all he had in an unfortunate mining speculation. It is said to have been for this reason that his wifs sought a divorce within a year after their mar riage. In the meantime she had become ac quainted with Tabor. Since she captured him nor parents nave moved iroin their humble home in Oshkosli, and are now in tho enjoy ment of a $1,000 bo l-joom set Cristobal Colon'w Tomb. Youth's Companion. Columbus or Cristobal Colon, as we mutf say at Havana if we wish to be understood died at Santo Domingo, but his remains wen subsequently removed to Havana and interred in the cathedral, where they now repose be neath a pillar within" tho altar. And properly proud are tho Havanese Spanish families ol their great fellow-countrynun by adoption whoso last resting p'.act is with them. Beneath a rathoi doubtful bust of the great discoverer is a marble tablet set in the pillar, aud inscribed with the following characteristic Spanish epitaph iu the old-time tongue of Castile: "O, Rostos y ymagen del Grande Colon! Mil siglos durand gtiardado en la urna y en la remembranzade nu estra nacion." O, remains and likeness of great, Columbus! Let a thousand cen turies hold theo, guarded sacred ly in thy urn and in the memory of our nation. More correct to life, it ia asserted, is the statue of Columbus in the patio of the captain-general's palace a few squares below tne cathedral. Tnis statue is also of marble, lifo size, with the right hand pointing to a globe set by the left toot that globe which he was Eersecuted for believing to be round and not at and a chart The head and face are those of a man forty-five or fifty years of age; and the countenance indicates a curtain pa.the.io faith and purpose, half -buried and struggling beneath tides on tides of trouble. No one can for a moment look upon that face and believe that the life of this man was a happy one. Such a face is a silent and lasting reproach to the age which it looked upon. Stopping Ensines by Electricity. Scientific American. An electric apparatus for closing the valve of an engine and thereby stopping it, is now in some of the large mills at Dundee, in Scot laud. In describing the apparatus at work, The Dundee Advertiser says: "The huge en gine in Manhattan works (CoL Sandeman's) working at from six hundred to seven hundred horso power, and driving a fly wheel of about thirty-live tons weight, formerly took two min utes to come to rest after the steam had been taken otT. This apparatus has been fitted to it, and tho ponderous engine is now brought np in thirty seconds. To see this powerful, ma jestic piece of machinery, the developer of power for a large range of works, almost im mediately brought to a standstill ty the mere touching of a button at the far end of the building is an impressive illustration of the easy control of enormous force by wisely or dered arrangements. To mill owners the utility of the apparatus will be evident" Xo Type-Writing for Him. Ithaca Journal. The Autophone company conduct all of their correspondence by mans of a type-writer. The cornnany had occasion to send four or five letters to an agent 'way out in Wisconsin, and they were amused a few days ago to re-' ceive one from him closing with these words. "You neodn't print any more letters that yon send me, for I want you to understand that I can read writing." Among the men seeking election to tho French legislature at the hands of Gambetta'a old Belleville oonstitueney is one Berezowski, a "Labor" candidate.
