"The manesalutantes." There can be no doubt that the levees of modern princes and ministers have been inherited from this ancient usage of Rome; one which belonged to Rome republican, as well as Rome imperial. The fiction in our modern practice is that we wait upon the levé, or rising of the prince.
We desire a grass to be used on levees, to keep from washing. Bermuda or Johnson gross are dangerous to farming lands. What we desire is a grass that will grow in good dirt with no water to support it during most of the year, except the annual rainfall of Fresno county. Of course, this grass will also have to endure a great deal of water during the flooded season of the year.
All Paris flocked to the Carrousel on review days, and regarded with eyes of delight the unusual sight of rich foreign liveries and emblazoned carriages. The parties at the Tuileries were brilliant and numerous, and nothing was wanting but the name of levees.
Robinson on one of the minor standing committees that of Expenditures in the Department of Justice and subsequently placed him near the foot of the list on the Special Committee on the Mississippi Levees.

"Never heard it, didn't know there was a limit before," responded the man. The first speaker turned back to the secretary. "Did you ever know what happened at 'Bulger's, on the North Fork? They had one o' them levees." "No. What happened?" asked the secretary impatiently. "They was fixed suthin' like us," returned the first speaker.
The destructiveness of the lower portion of this particular flood was somewhat augmented by mining gravel in the river channels, and by levees which gave way after having at first restrained and held back the accumulating waters.
For several years the site was annually flooded; but the people have persevered in building the levees, and afterward in raising all the streets, so that Sacramento is now a fine city, the capital of the State, and stands where, in 1848, was nothing but a dense mass of bushes, vines, and submerged land. The old fort has disappeared altogether.
However nobody made fun of Augereau about this, for he was known to be a brave and accomplished duelist, who had given even the celebrated Saint-George, the finest swordsman in France, a run for his money. I have said that Augereau was a good tactician; because of this, my father had appointed him to direct the training of the battalions of new levées, of which the division was largely composed.
