J ' Hie Chinese residents of Chicago cele brated Washington's birthday not only by retraining from all washing, but in the composition of partriotic poetry, of which this is given as a f ample: ; ; Was man name alle same George ; Do heap big washee alle day long ; Bime-by he glow so velly much lahge, Melican mau calle him Wash-a-tou. A Sunday-shool Fpeaker the other evenii rased the word abridgement, but immediately pulled up and remark cd that "as some of the younger scholars might hot know its meaning, he would ay that it was a synonym of epitome. The members of the infant class were affected to tears. A North Carolina negro thought he could out-run a locomotive the other day on tlie Air Line road, and when he picked himself np, after being thrown tweuty feet and landing on his head, he said : "Yer don't ketch dis yer chile doiu' dat agin. It's a right smart won der I didn't tear dese britches clean off." . Frank Heard, the artist, while at din ner recently, was told ot a man iu Nas sau biieet with three liauds. "How is that 2" asked Heard. 4 He's got a little behind hand," was the reply. "You are a more extraordinary man," was the reply, "for yon. have two heads ; you have a head of j'our own, you've got a head of me." President Bascom, of tlie "University of Wisconsin, says that the law passed by tlie Legislature recently will yield an income ot 42,000 to the University, and, with tlie otlter revenues, will raise the tot&l income of the institution to $80,000 a year.

Tlie other day, when a laborer stopped THE niNNINNIPPI JETTIES. The mattresses have been runk iu the east jetty beyond the crest of the bar, while so tar all the work on that sea wall has remained solid, and grows firm er every day as the deposit on the exte rior of the work is rapidly covering It, as was expected or counted upon, and hence the work is being set as "solid as rock. On the western wall the work is being laid from the outer end landmark. As fas as both walls have been complet ed the depth between them has increas ed from twenty.fi ve to thirty feet. Though the attrition nearer tlie ; si tore is necessarily slower than further on on account ot the greater age and solidity of the deposit.- From the land outward the channel t the greatest depth has been cut near the western wall j as the eastern jetty being completed first de flected tlie line ot swift current as far down as the line was completed enough to illustrate practically the jetty theory, while ft tolerably uniform and constant ly Increasing depth has . been obtained, making Jhe theory : settled axiom. On tlie arrival at the crest of tbe bar, which before tlie work was well com menced had only seven feet of water, a depth almost incredible to all but the engiuers iu charge was demonstrated to exist; as the boat proceeded the line showed fourteen, sixteen and occasion ally even eighteen feet. With lead heaving at intervals less than owe hun dred feet apart all the way across the bar iu the channel ot the swiftest current, fourteen feet was the least depth found. After going to deep water the vessel re crossed thQbar. In the channel men tioned again they found the minimum depth to be fourteen and the maximum eighteen feet. , . : The line of the : greatest depth was found to be about two hundred feet east from and parallel with the western wall, but extended far beyond the outer end ot that jetty. On the results men tioned being practically demonstrated, Captain Ilassctt said he was satisfied a steamer could go, drawing fourteen feet of water, to sea through this pass.! Col. Andrews added that"yep,and to-morrow he would guarantee to take a steam vessel diawing sixteen feet over." The first result of the work, that ot increas ing tho velocity of the current to such a degree as to enable it to hold a great er amount of sediment in suspension and to sever away the deposit, has i been practically reached, and tho second, ot course, follows as a corollary, event, which only needs a very little time to work out that is, to scour out enough mud to make the channel tweuty ; feet deep. The distinguished engineer in charge stated that within four weeks, a depth ot water of eighteen foet across the bar before South Pass would be a fixed fact. The velocity of the current in the Pass has already been increased to five and six feet per second by ; running a wall ot willow mattresses nearly : 1,000 yards long before Northeast Pass to force more water dowu South Pass, By this increased current, another desir ed end, the cutting away of a little Wr land iu the head of the latter; I 'ass, is being gradually accomplished.

By a moderate charge . to exhibi torSj 'and Jby' being permitted to retain valuables found iu tlte. sweepings, lie expects to realize a handsome margin of profit.
