TAKING THE CENSUS. YU on Jefltnon Avenne am! Remunerative In tbe Seventh Ward. "Bay, old fellow, tbe next time a census of births and deaths is to be taken, don’t you fail to get a Job In •ne of tbe big-bug wards!*’ exclaimed lolly Nick Tisler to a reporter a fow days ago. "Don’t believe I’d like It. Always ■takes me sick to go around mixing beer." "There's lota of fun in It." "What In drinking fifteen or twenty kinds of beer?" "No In taking tho census. Ton'll ■ever know how cussed lazy some people are until yon take a big book nnuer your your arm and go around asking questions. I’ve been around." "Where did you find the laziest ®ne?" "Upon Jefferson avenue. Oh, I don't know as she is real lazy, but up there they're so stuck up they wouldn't come to the door if you rung the bell all day, for fear you'd think they was tbe servant. At one house 1 rang the bell seven times—the girl was out to the shed, I s'pose, and tho woman was a-settin* in tho bay window about tour feet from me, and looking at me all the time. "At another house I soon the women ■p stairs at the window as 1 went up the front steps. A fat, gooddooking jrirl came to the door and I commenced firing questions at her.

Capt Cowdon says in a late letter: The city of New Orleans, geographi cally, is the best located city on the sphere. Sbe is near the gulf, and has all the Mississippi basin at her back. She has an area of land 2,000 miles north of her by 1,500 miles wide, all of which has untold facilities for agri culture, manufacturing, grazing, aud commerce. She, like New York, has water lines in her rear that reach out and drain the numerous tributaries to her main ditch, the great Father of Waters. Perhaps you have noticed that Boston has deep water in front and railways lu the rear; aud, practi cally, it is the same with Baltimore; while New York has the six by seventy foot Erie canal and lakes behiud her Hudson river, and In l he fuel of the cheap water transportation of New York, she owes her success as s rival city to tloston uud llaitlmore; nud, now, then, should New Orleans have deeper ocean vusstds than either of those three cites, and with water llow 1»K to her doors, why wouldn't she Increase enormously In her commer cial power? Hut there are two great problems which yearly, moutbly, weekly, dally, end hourly confront the people of Imulslnns, and they are these; 1. Can Louisiana get rid of her overflows? S. Can New Orleans harber ships el fifty feet depth? Not long since i crossed the river at New Orleans a mill above Canal street, to "Harvey's Canal.” the mile-wide, muddv. turbid stream waa moving to the gulf at about the rale of three tulles ry hour, and, when full, it has to run • a a slope of about seventeen feet la going to the gulf, at the river's ■south, IfU miles distant. I landed nt Matvey's canal dock, which U not vet opened lu the Mississippi river oa lie north end by mat lew rods I walk* vl tuu'h fur less than loo feet, when, down there in the ennsl, I saw muf water lust Iwslve feet lower thaa the river, only a few rods north of where I stood. You ash why dua.t they t«t the hsnk two wiles wide and fifteen feet deep, straight to tbs gulf, miy OHy hve miles south, and thereby grain the flood water* o| the river, Mid no Increase the outflow that the hsdtom of the river will de*p»n up lu 14s fwafcy bottom or shuul*’ It >11, now, ancient elltsen, tou hsve am, sure Why don't they? , Hut, now, while Ihts ehuM be done, Ifiite petkspe M • better p»v It u !ust ten miles southeast of New Or* ean*, on the east side of the river, at the Lake Borgne canal outlet. There the gulf is six miles east, while where I stood it was fifty-live miles away, and were a side mouth made thero at the Lake Borgne outlet, two miles wide and fifteen feet deep, at most, the outflow of the surface water of the river would be so great that there could not bo any overflow, and. con sequently, the problem of how to dry Louisiana is easily solved. When that Is done, then the Harvey or Bara taria gulf-water ship canal could easily be mado live hundred feet wide, fifty feet deep, and straight as a pole, due south to the gulf, fifty five miles, and through which could pars the biggest ship that could bo made, (lull water should be used, and thus keep out the settlings of the Mississippi river. These settling* now drop, after meet ing the gulf water, three miles out from the river’s mouth, and are reach ed up on the sea bottom just like the thread in weaving cloth, and the shi ps can't plow through It when drawing more than, say, twenty-five feet, and were It not for tho constant dredging or passing of the screw propeller* of depth, thu depth would be but about twenty feet; so tho nvermen told me in New Orleans quite recently. Flowers on the Kansas Prairies. Barbaric splendor of the scenes la Aula and L'Africalne seemed repeated as the glorious panorama of blossom ing prairie unrolled day after day. Can you picture to yourself ten acre* of portulaca? or whole hillsides cur tained with what seems a superb variety of wistaria, except that it ?'rows on a slant instead oi Hanging rotu a vine? Do you know liow it feels not to lie able to step without crushing a flower, so that the little prairie-dogs, sitting contentedly with their intimate friends the owls on the little heaps of earth thrown up around their holes, have every appearance of having planted their own front yards with the choicest floral varieties? Think of driving into a groat field of sunflowers, the horses trampling down the tall stalks, that spring up again behind the carriage, so that one out side the field would never know that a carriage-load of people were any where in it; or riding through a "grove” of them, the blossoms tower ing out of reach ns you sit on horse back, and a tall hedge of them grown up as a barrier between you and your companion! Not a daisy, ora butter cup, or a clover, or a dandelion, will you see all summer; but new flowers too exquisite for belief; the great white prickly poppies, and the sensi tive rose, with its loaves delicato as a maiden-hair fern, and its blossom a countless mass of crimson stamens tipped with gold, and faintly fragrant. Even familiar flowers are unfamiliar in size and profusion and color. What at home would be a daisy, is here the size of a small sunflower, with petals of delicate rose-pink, raying from a cone-shaped centre of rich maroon shot with gold. A-had brought with her numerous packages of seeds and slips, nobly bent on having rlte oon flower beds and mosaic parterres about the house; but she sat on the steps and threw them broadcast, never knowing, in the profusion ot flowers that would have been there anyway, whether hers ever came up or not. And how beautiful where the grasses —the most useful one the most beautl fulofall; the delicate little "buffalo grass,” for which the prairie is fa mous, waving its tiny curled side of feathery daintiness as if its beauty were its only excuse for being, yet bravely "curing” itself into dry hay as it stands, when the autumn winds begin to blow, that the happy flocks may "nible, sharp-toothed, the rich, thick-growing blades” all through the winter, without their being gath ered into barns.—Alice Wellington Hollins, in Harper's Magazine for June. Bismarck’s Dream. Are Austria nnd Russia working to gether for England’s humiliation?
