I THE ARKANSA8 ZE VEES. 'Cspt. A. P. Martin, the well h~i~j "levee contractor, was in St.. *leph Monday and 4elle us gttthe levees in Arkansas on the MissMsidpi river are in splendid condition, and the best along the river. -This faoot is due tothe pol icy .of Capt. Towpsend, the engi neer in charge, who as far as prb tieable made- entirely new works, there being a very scant line there befor. Capt. Martin says that. Sre all considerably above gode, and are pihpaed to with str ;mi saoeisfully a water like that `: 1881 . As we in this sec tion are dependent in a large measure upon thelevees in Arkan sas, the above fits. will be very grat g to oar readers. An equestrian statue of General Hancock was unveiled at Wash ington on May 12th before an im mebbe gathering. The statute is a splendid ane, and'it is right and proper that the virtues of "Han iook, the SuBaperb" should be hand ed down to posterity in bronze to ne oato not only his services to country, but the character of the man. Louisianians will al ways have a tender spot in their hoaee for General Hancock for tMbatnnef'in which he dise'harged ate deliests and. difialt duties t1ht murrounded~him as military Governor of Louisiana during the dark days of reconstiuotion.
