A PRACTICAL METHOD.
We copy the following from a
recent. number of Harper's Weekly
banded us by a gentleman always
foreward in nil schemes of imprpve-
ments for this frontier. We think"
the method would be a practical
one to be used at I'rn/.oa do Santia-
go. Let tho bar be opened by this
uieaus, and then the breakwater
built ft<mi IVint Isabel to Plazos
Islam!. Tlic result would be that
the waters from the river would
bo prevented from ontering and
filling up the harbor, and the bar
being cut o,ut bv these artilicial
pieans to any depth required even
io twenty or twenty live feet, the
water of tho Laguna Madre would
lind a full outlet and would only
tend t<"> keep the channel open and
not widen it.
"To remove by the action of
watei ;i sand bar, which i§ subject
constantly to the tremendous
movement of the sea, poems
anomalous, but noyei'theles ' y;ator
is, the agent which is now being
employed to plough up and level
oft one of the greatest of the sand
bars which obstruct the entrance to
Now York Harbor. Tho apparatus
wherewith this work is done is
called a waterplough. It is the
in\<;utn,n of (Jen.. Kov Stone, wlio
commanded the l'uektail lirigade
in the civil war. He had been iin-
\er.njneut to plough out Ciedney n
Channel for £lS't,Ooo. At ordi-
aarv liiuh water there are tv.ontv
líe veil leet <>t water n (he ehauned.
Thirty feet are wanted. < *en
Stogie charted the tug Osceola, and
had placed in her tour pumping
engines of u capacity oí 1~<1(1
gallons each. Pipes ten inches in
diameter run from the pumps on
either side of the boat.
Each terminates in two and a
half inches in diameter, points
upward at an angle ol forty-live
degrees, and the other, half an
inch in diameter, points slightly
downward. At a pressure of 100
pounds to the square inch the
pumps send through these four
nozzles 48 >0 gallons of water caph
minute, at the speed of 7000 fecj
a minute.
The tug is now at work on Cied-
ney's Channel i^r. An account
says of \hc first trial: "The hydrau-
lic plows were lowered and the
pumps began to work. The hori-
zontal water jets drilled a path
through the tough sand, and the
upper jet blew the sand to the sur-
face of the bay and scattered it.
The ebb tide carried the sand out
to sea at a rate of one and a half
miles an hour. Particles of sand
could be se1 n suspended in the
foam and froth above the no.;/.les
of the pipes.
When the Osceola had crossed
the bar, which is *1000 feet wide
there, tlie watcrploughs were rais-
ed, and the tug went back to rep-
eat the operation, working always
with the ebb tide."
It ii> believed that a channel 200
feet- wide and twenty eight feet
dee)) will be cui by June 1, and
there is apparently no reason why
a channel -ASO f^ct wide and thirty
feet deep may not be cut before
the end of summer.'"

Under democratic rule protni-
nent ]>ositions cannot be bartered
for before an election and the
wishes of the people entirely disre
garded. The republicans wore at
war with the people of the south
and could therefore pick up any ob
scare man and push him into places
of power and tru«t, but under a
democratic rule, a man must be
popular with tin, people, and a lead-
er in his section before he can hope
to occupy the leading positions in
the gilt of the chief executive of
the luOi-Hi.
