Sixty Days.
An Eugiuetriog Fcul Which Was Regarded

MASTERLY ENGINEERING
Captain James B. Kads, the engineer la charge of
the opening up of navigation to tl.e Mississippi
Valley by lbs removing ol tbe obstacle* at ibe mouth
ol ibe Mississippi Klver, has been stoppiug lor several
days at Hid bl. Nionolas. Captain iisds, lo a person
unacquainted with Ills peculiarities, might seem lo be
about ibo last man ill Ibe world wbo would be so
lected lor the complotlon ol tills stupendous undertak
ing. A briol lace-to-fact' study ol ibo mail, however,
dispels every cbaace lor such a conclusion. He Is
apparently from fltty to fllty-two years ol age, and
wull preserved, bating tbe grizzly tinge ol bulr and
beard tbat a life of exposure, risk and aietital anxiety
would bring. He is a little above tbe medium height,
of spare but eroct tiguro, and of strong tortures, de
noting In all tbelr placed outlines aeli-posiesaion
and determination.
Captain Kads was touud yesterday at tbe St. Nicho
las, busily engaged. It ha* been suggested to blm
luring bis present visit ttiut on a former visit, pend
ng tbe deoatou of tbe Board ol Eugineers,
Convened at tbe Kiith Avenue Hotel two
years* ago, to consider tbe feasibility of
tbe accomplishment ol tlies> engineering plans, that
President (Irani bad said that il he coulu see the suc
cessful end ol this work bo uskod for no other distinc
tive mark ol his administration. There were prosent
it that tune as members ol tins Board the engineer
who had rutunvpd tho oDstructluus Irom the inouth of
.ho l)anul>?, now Sir Charles flarcourt, General W. W.
Sumpbroya and some eight or teu others.
Captain Kids said yesterday:?"Tho flrst work on
.be jetties was comiuencail almost exactly two years
igo, tbe 14th of June, aud sinco tbat time a clear In
:rense o! twelve ioel in depth has been secured through
the bar at the month ot trie South 1'uss, and a much
greater depth Ihroagh the shoal In the Mississippi
River which obstructs tbe entrance from tbe river into
the l'ass. The pass between the so two obstructions is
about twelve miles long, wttti a depth of at least thirty,
three or thirty-lour feot throughout its entire length."
Mr. liads was desirous of improving the Southwest
l'ass, anJ his proposition to tbat end was
carried through tbe House ol Kepretculativej
by a neariy unanimous vote. Motives ol economy,
however, ou the part ol the Senate luduoed ihut body
to niter the bill by which Mr. Kuds wax roquirad to im
prove (be South l'ass, which is not moro than ono
half the width and ouo-bali tho depth ot the South
wast l'ass, the prico lor the greater pass being
fS,UUO,OOU Tnat lor tbo lesser Is $'>,250,IHJU. No
shoal obstructs tbo upper end ot Southwest l'ass, and
alt ol tbe works lor Us improvement would have been
ruiitlueu to its luoulb, whereas the sboul si tbe upper
cno ol the South l'ass has iuvolved the necessity of
aorks quite as great in extent, though less costly
than thuso at the mouth ol the l'ass. some ideu ol
tbe extent ol the works at tbo bead of tbo 1'itsg may
be loruied when ibo fact is staled that the river at this
point is oue mile and lbreo-i|uarters wido, and that
the voiuino of flowing water here is ten times as great
?s that which is diacuarged by the South l'uss, and
the works which have Ue'ii constructed at ibis point
'by Mr. r.ails absolutely control, and harness, us it
were, Irom one shore to the other, lue eutire volumo
ol tbe wuoie river. Southwest l'ass discharges about tour
times as murb Hater as South 1'nss and fuss a I'Uutre
discharges about five limes aa mucb as South l'uss. The
principle upou which the improvement is baaed la the
concentration ol the Mowing waior. The water enter
ing tbe South l'ass was spread out over a wide ex
panse ol probably equal to one ipiarier ol tbe entire
vidtb ol the river ut tho head oi the passes, and
lowed into tbo l'aaa through a tunnel shaped entrance,
tbe throiu of wtilch was not more than one quarter so
side. The shoal occupied tbo uppor end or widest
part of this entrance and oxlendod up over hplf a mile
Into tbe main river, tbe greatest depth over ft at low
water being about teurieeu feet, 'to concentrate tbe
How across this shoal into a channel of only .H50 Icet
iu wiulh was tbo problem lo ho solved. Works were
eroclcd obstructing about two thousand loot of tbo
width ol trie river, by which inu waterllowiug into the
pus? was compelled to enter Oelwetn parallel dykes SMI
leet apart. Ol course this greatly reduced the quantity
entering tbn l'aa? aud completoly suspended lor tho
time being the scouring between the jollies. Ibo ex
cluded water was, of courso, thrown into the two grout
passes, and, lo prevent their enlargement, a submerged
work or willow mattress sill 7it leet wide anil i leet
thick was laid down Irom tbu main shore ol tbu river
iu a depth in many places of over ISO leet entirely across
the entrance into each ono ol ibe groat passes, and was
thoroughly loaded with stone. The magnitude of
Him work alona may be interred from tho
lucl that each oue of Itieao sills is ovor three thousand
leet in length. I boy join the otber works at the head
ol the rasa, near tbe middle ol the river, and with
them emhroco the entire bed oi the Mississippi, wllb
the exception ol tbe 8.>o loot chaunel they aero de
a:gned to create through tho shoal. The exclusion of
the natural How of water into South I'sas caused n de
posit lo be made throughout the length ot lue l'aaa and
through thojettied cnacnel across the sea bar, aud
Mr hads considers tbat the deepening ot tbechan
nel between the jetties was dulaveu six or eight
months Irom the necessity of having to temporarily
exclude so uiucb ol the natural how into tno l'ass
during the period roqulrod lor the enlargement of the
channel iiirough the shoals. The (Irsl ttoo I ot tbe sea
sun did nut arrive at the head ol tbu passes until
about the 1st ol February, prior to which time tno
works at the head ol tbe l'.iss hud produced little or
no etlecv, Tbe change wronuht by the llood was t imply
marvellous. In ten days a channel was cut through
b> the current lo a depth ot twenty icet and having a
width of 2U0 foet, where but lourteun in depth ex
isted before. Tins rapid enlargement of the new
chauUei continued lor over two months una restored
the original volume of discharge through the Pass.
The largest ships in tbo world can now pass
truely through It. When Una occurred tho
current went vigorously to work not ouly to
r move the temporary deposits made in the l'ass and
between the jetties, hut also to enlarge tho channel
previously made across tbo bar at thu mouth. Tim
depth bore, although II had aoniewbat diminished
prior lo the lit ol April, was still Hiiltlcient lor the
passage of vessels drawing over twenty loot Irom tbo
Mississippi River to tho aei. Tho enlargement which
baa recently again commenced between tbe jetties
was lirst ni>iced at their upper onus about the 1st of
April, and li has now extended down through a mile
and three qmrtera ol thoir length, m which dl'tanco
the least width lor twenty-two leet In depth
la 2iU leet, leaving about half a lutlo be
tween tins point and the Ueep tea water
to enlarge irom Ita present dimensions to a width of
200 feet by a depth ol tl, which Is m cessary lo secure
t.i Mr. Hads the uaxl payment ol $000,000 irom tho
government. Tbo enlargement of th" upper portion
ol tho jetty channel within the iut two or three
months h is been really wonderlul. A long stretch of
tbe channel, where there was originally out 13 or 14
feet, has a depth nowhere tesK than 40, and in many
p:.?. es the channel ;s from fit) lo 70 loci deep. Tho
regular surve)* made irom lime to time by the resi
dent < nglnoor, Mr. Iv I* Corthell, show a Co miaul
advanco ol tins enlargement down aircutu
toward the sea. fro much material bus
txon removed in this enlargement that
the current has been nnable to carry the whole amount
ot It at ones to the deep sea water, uit l about lourteen
per cent ol the amount rnmov d has temporarily
lodged ID the channel below. Tbo navigable depth,
however, bus rarely been redu? e 1 from this cause to
less than twenty tcet, and at the rate ot progress
which the enlargement is making tbe entire lout by
jfun leet channel will be through to the sea iu about
siliv duys the quantity ot d< poatl removed in tbn
last ninety flats Irom bot?e< n the jetties would fill a
space a mile long and 300 teat wide to the depth of ton
leet.
Curoiul surveys mauo last May In an area ol about
liliy acres mime.(lately In advance of the jollies ou tho
uuior slope ol tbe bar developed tbe remarkable tact
that the water has usep?ncd throughout Una entiro
nrea an average of nearly live feet. 1'bls is believed
to be caused by the littoral current of ibo sea txnig
driven under tbn oultlow of the river. It pusses luo
mouth from eael to west and nearly at rluhl angles to
tho rivar discharge, and, as tlic depth ol ibo river's
volum* la now twenty teel, the sea current baa been
i*roed to nxoavate moro room lor itaeit uudarnosth tbo

A CAlt LOAD or SEA LIUNS FROM THE PACIFIC
COAST?MBW TOBK'S IATK.ST AURIVALS.
Hundred! of people gathered at tbo Vanderbllt
depot, In liudton street, yesterday morning to witness
the removal ol a car load of sea lions wblcb bad ar
ri*cu from the Pacific coast for Messrs. Coup ft Hoicho's
New York Aquarium. Tno poculiar and unmelodlous
cry of tbe ampbebians coald be heard for blocks
around. Each ol the sixteen Bea lions had a sepsrato
woodon cage. The singularity of their situation mado
them howl to tbe loll extent of their capacious throats.
Outside ol thoir vocal gymnastles they lay perlectly
still lii their cages and lookod lazily baok at their
spectators. At noon they woro the sensa

passed an opportunity of seeing what but lew bad
seen in their lifetime An aggregation ol sixteen eea
Tons cannot be seen over* aay. Indeed, there bos
boon no suob amphibian arrival in Now York belore.
Tha expedition which capturod these monsters was
commanded by Captain James Mullet, under tbe dtrec
lion of tbe proprietors ol tbo New York Aquarium. On
the 31*t ol March tho expoditiou was dosputciiod. It
proceeded to Lower Calllornia and the Mexicau coast,
on board were Uiioen trained lariat throwers, all Irom
Mexico, where this method ol capturing monsters of
the l.rnJ anu sea has become a science. When tho sea
lions wi ro sighted at a distance by a glass the vosaol
w as a uc ho red? A small boat was then tilled witb the
lariat throwers, who rowed In the direction ol ll,o'r
game Uays were cotisnnied in waiting lor a favorable
opportunity lor the capture. Tbe Mexicans slept
upon the rocks in tbo habitat of tlio sea
monsters. At daylight tboy went about their work.
It is then that the amphibian* begin to show them
selves. Tbo method ol capture wai as IoIIowb:?* irat

were consumed in catherlng this collection. Captain

STEAMBOAT RACING.
To thk Editor oy thk Hehald:?
Having seen numerous complaints about steamboat
racing I would say, for the lolormatlon ol persons
making tbo complaints, that If they wish to have it
stopped they should complain to the Inspector Gen
eral of Sieam Vessels at Washington. Tnero is no law
to atop racing so long as they keop a certain distuu.;e
apart and ao not carry more steam thau tlioir certiU
calo allows. PKO BONO PUBLICO.

To thk Editor or tuk Hkrald:?
1 wish to Mil attention to the Increasing nuisance of
tbe crlos of the Ice hucksters. Throughout the day
th?y pas* in pairs through our street*, standing soma
time belore euh house, and give vont at the top of
their voice to unearthly yells to attract attention to
their wares. Now, certainly, this Is not right. If It
annoys us that are in health what misery It must
cause iho sick, and is made particularly Olsa^reeublt*
now that the bouses are open ! There la no dou?
that every huckster is entitled to tho fame privileges
as tlio icc pedier, and It they should all adopt the samo
horrible mode or proclamation it would be considered
an outrageous nulsanoe. and than, perhaps, the au
thorities would tako some action in tlic matter.

To tuk Editor or Tin Hkrald:?
Tbe slums of Constantinople contain fewer dogs
than tbe streets ol Yorkvllle. If the Mayor will not
enlorce the law what can we do about it f Can the
cltlzcn bo puuished for executing it sud the dog too?
Vagrant curs are prowling about tbe streets lu every
direction. They overturn our garbage boxes and
possess themselves of our areas. A few days slnco a
canine tramp took possession of our vestibule, with
the door mat for a bed. Not wishing to dispute wun
him the family were compell-d to use tbe lower door
for exit and entrunce. Tne blootnde was malniaised
until hunger lorced tbe withdrawal ol tbe brute. 11 ow

much Oo-Hergli-ed city ot such dtngerous pests. If tho

WKI0HTB AND MEASURES.
To TDK Editor or tiib Hkkild:?
I have noticed Bevsrsl letters in relerenco to the
course pursued by sotne ot thu sealers and Inspectors
of weights and measures in the discharge of their so
culled duties, and calling tbo attention ol tho trade
generally to tbo extortions practised on thorn. As 1
have been a victim of one ol tbeso sinecurisu I would
like to raise my voice against tne ovor charges of otio
or them and give the public an incident tbat was
brought under my notice some time ago, In which ouo
John W. Kobinson and bis clerk, Mr. Charles 11.
Travers, figured as the principal character. A man,
styling himself a sesler ol woights and measures,
called at a gentleman's place of business up town and
asKed to see bis scales. Not knowing the man
the gentleman refused until he made some In
quiries as to his authority. I'pou Inquiring be
louud tbat Mr. John W. ltobinsou was the legal
scaler in his district, and accordingly notified him to
call and perform the service. In a short time Mr.
Charles 11. Travers called, attylDg that he was sent by
Mr. liobiusou to seal Hie scales. Alter locking >it
them he made out his bill, amounting to $4 50. Tho
cttutluuiuu told him tbat the charges were exorbitant,
and t hat he would pay tliem under protest. Tho sealor
told hiui he could do as lie cliose, hut if he did not
pay he would make him pay more. The mercnant
said ns would inake an issue ol it, us he did not wish
to bo swindled. To this lis got the answer that
as tbe eeelor wns appointed by |m>i<IiobI Inlliienov?
giving the natnos ol several prominent politicians
In the district?bn could not hurt him much.
T'pon polng to the office ol Mr. Kobinson the mercb .ut
was informed that Mr. Travers bad no right to seal tbo
scales or collect any fees, lu tbe lace of ibis state
ment was tbo lact that when Mr. Robinson wits notified
to call at tho store, he sent tbe man t''ravers, who
signed Mr. Robinson's name and collected the money.
Either ot two tilings is cortain, Mr. Kobinson must
have sent Mr. Travers. or tbo lattor roost have com
mitted lorgery in signing the former's name.

It has been tbe custom (but that is not law) lor pre

"Warrants of Arrest Against Her

In Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday, Judge
Donohue made an order directing tbe officers of the
Young Men's 8t. James Kotnan Catholic Abstinence
and Benevolent Society to sbow cause beioro tbe
Court, on tbe 20th insl., wby a peremptory writ or
mandamus should not Issue com|>elllcg tbom to rein
state Francis McOratb ss a member ol tbe noddy in
good standing. Tbo application was made by Mr.
Maubew 1'. Hreon on tbe petition of McGratb, In which
be alleges that he was a member in good standing in tbe
society, and, becoming siclc through labir. auplled
lo tbe society for the weekiy allownnce due blsi urder
Its rules. This was refused, and be then brought suit
lioioro J udge Clancy, in the Secoud District Court, to
recover live week*' allowance. For this act the so
ciety tried and oxpollcd him undor one of its bylaws
making expulsion Irom membership the penalty lor
appealing 10 any other tribunal from a declNion ol tbo
society. It is olaitned hy Mr. Breon. ou behall of tils
client, that this bylaw is Itsell Illegal and void, and
tnat any expulsion ol a member by virtue thereof la
also Illegal and void.
A QUESTION OF LAW.
A question Involving a point of law was argued be
foro Judge Donohue, who gave bis decision yesterday.
It would seem that in 1868 Samuel 8blifer mortgaged
certslu premises to a Mr. Hoffman, who conveyod
tbem to Mrs. Anna King, who, in 1H7;S. conveyed tbein
to Norman k Ji-va. Tlie latter, In IK74, agreed with
Hodman, unknown to Shi Iff r, to extend the time for
payment of tl.o mortgage several months. When
lloftman brought foreclosure suit Shiffcr niono
delebded, and Hit question urone whether
the extension relyised him Irom .ill liability
tor suy dodclcncy. Tbe ouly point to be decided was
wb'-tlier tbo ugreemeni between Borinan -V Jova and
Molluian was void, snd, II so, whether *bil1sr was sull
responsible (or dellcleMcies; lor, il valid, under w it
soiiled priuoiplos Sniffer was released, ho being in tbo
position of a surety, alter no had parlod with the proi?
orty, and uot ol a principal.
Judge Douoliue in giving decision holds that the
agreement was valid; the plaintiff having received its
Iruits in tne way ol Interest cannot dispute It, and
Sin lier is not responsible lor any delioieodos, though
.Mrs. King is, as she put in no answer. I'ho judgmout
of loreciosure granted does not alloct Shi (for.

telegrum from her siuting tbut she was ut tho Forty
secoud street depot and asking them to go there lor
her; that ibey intended to got her engagements, nud
ner stepfather intended to travel with her. L'puu this
affidavit it was alleged that the mother and steplathor
had enticed the child away froic her guardiau, In
wnoso custody the court had placed her; that In this
act tbey had beou guilty of contempt ol the Court's
order, und an order should issue lortliwlth lor their

UNPROFITABLE UUAUDIANSIIIP.
Evu Klein, an lnlaut, was run over and Injured by a
wagon belonging to Adam Blaatb. Isaac Klein bccatno
hor guardian in tbe sam of $260 for the purpose of
prosecuting a suit against Blauth for damugos. The
suit was commenced in the Superior Court by Julius
Llppmsn, as attorney lor the plumtiir, and alter beiug
on me calendar for about a year was dismissed witu
$142 "2 costs ugulnst the guardian. Recently a motion
was made for an attachment against tbe guardian to
compel him to pay ibese costs or surrender his body as
collateral to tbo keeper of Ludlow Street J All. The
motion lor an attachment was resisted on the part of
tho guardian, lie mukiug an utlidavit that when the ac
cident occurred several lawyers solicited the
privilege of briugiug tho suit; that Lipp
man's oiler in tins respect w.is accepted, and
ou Ills assurance that tbe guardianship wus merely
I or ma I, he (Klein) consented to set und gave a bond in
that lie believes tbo plaintiff to have bud a good
caiine ol uction und that the dismissal ol tbe compluiiit
wus dilo lo the negligeuco ol I.lppman; thul, though
he was worth $i>0 ut the tiuie the suit was com
menced. he is not worth anything now, and II he is
attached lor the nou-paytneut of tnese costs lie will bo
pumsbed lor ool doing wtial be is wholly unable lo do.
Tlioso allegations ol Klein were controverted by tbo
oilier side, and yesterday Judge hull lord rendered a
decision, granting the allachnienl, unless Klein pays
the amuttiit ol taxed costs iii tho oase, and also $lu
costs of tho motion within twenty days.

number of years been separated Irom his family, bav
in? nothing in common with them. Sne lelt a will,
cxocuted on the 5th of June and duly witnessed, in
wluoli the property was lelt to the three children as
follows:?One-third to her daughter, Jennie Scott,
during bar life ; at ner death the same to go to St.
Slopbcn's Home lor Children, in East Twenty-eighth

as In ibo case ol the bequest ot Jenuie.
The executors narnud are Thomas McMukm

and all tbo parties at present living ruaido then;;
though, as the tostator at the time of her death was a
resident ol Greonpoinl, tbe will Is offered for probato
iu Kings county. The turee children, through their
counsel, Mr. J. H. Stanbrougli, propo.se to move for
settiug asidi* the provisions directing tho bequests to
tho chariuble institutions nameu ou the ground of
their unlawfulness, there being a statute prohibiting
the payment of more than one-hall of an estate to
such institutions when there are direct holrs-at-law.
In this case it is dlrocted that tbo entiro estate shall

MARRIAGE FOR SIX.
A neatly drcssod Italian stopped briskly before the
desk of Justice Murray, at the Tombs 1'olioe Court,
yesterday, end in broken Euglish, coupled with much
bowing, asked to bo united in matrimony to a bashful
young woman by his side.
"Wo sometimes do perform a little occleslaatical
work," remarked the Justice, smiling, "but the ocoa.
siont are comparatively rare. Step up Miss?Miss?"
?'Miss Mary Celia," intorposed tbe bridegroom, Intro
ducing his afll incod. Tbe twain olsspod hands and In |
two miuutes Uu.Beppe retard I and Mary Ceila stepped
down as man and w ife.
"This Is tbo IIrut couple 1 have married In some
time." observed the Justice as he watched the pair
leaving the court room.
"Ol Your Honor blease," said a young Gorman, by
name Frank Snhoemoerirb, **I would like to get mar
ried to Annie l evy, this voung vomau bore."
"What!" exclaimed the magistrate, "more of 111
Well, bring them along now ihiit my hand is iu."
Again the ceremony was performed and once more a
satisfied couplo led the oourt room with a high appre
ciation ol justice as a money saver.
"I guew we will havo no more of tboin to-day,"
mused the Judge, calling up a lew simple drunks lor
disposition.
"Anoilior couple want to be married," called outSer
geunt Woodruff, haiidiug in a modest country youth
and a coy maiden, whoso lace was scarlot red.
The Justice loaned buck iu bis cbalr and appeared
mystified. Then he gazed long sad earnestly al tho
calendar on his desk, alter winch he was heard to ro
mark, sotJn vo<:r. "1 see nothing extraordinary in tho
<iay to produce such an epidomio. Hut It's all right,"
he remarked alund; "bring theiu ail in, sergeant, and we
* ill mark the date as an epoch of matrimony In the
Tombs I'oilce Court." The new couple wore named
Carl Eugene Houeison and Maria Borgcnhardt.
Up to tbe adjournment of oouri the imiico were
busily cnguged in looking for other couples anxious to
