RIVER NEWS.


The Ohio is still slowly receding at this
port, and last evening there were about ten
feet of water here in the channel. At Pitts
burg the river was falling at last accounts
and is probably declining all the way down
Business at the Landing was suspended yes
terday, as usual; only two or three boats
arriving, and none but the mail-packets de-
parting.
The weather here continued warm, cloudy
and rainy, with the prospect, as we write,
of an inclement night.
No Louisville or New Orleans papers,
later than those extracted from yesterday,
have been received.
At last mail accounts from St. Louis the
Mississippi River was slowly swelling there,
with six feet TO Cairo, and eight feet between
Cairo and Memphis. At st. Louis business
is moderately brisk.
The Illinois River is about stationary,
with two feet in the channel between Peoria
and the mouth, and twenty-five inches above
Peoria. ~ ..
The Upper Mississippi is still reported
rising, with thirty-two inches on the Lower
Rapids, and five tset in the channel below
Keokuk.
The Missouri River is falling, with three
feet four inches on the worst bars from Wes-
ton down to the mouth.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.


Until the election is over and the result
determined, there is no reason to expect any
particular activity in Money matters but
after that the packing season will soon open,
and all the capital of Bankers and indiYid-
uals will be in requisition. The market here
continues easy, and frst-clas Paper isreadily
negotiated in the regular quarters at l0(9l2
per cent, though names of long date-three
and four months-is done in the street at 1870
"a per cent.
In the absence of any amount of bills on
the East, Exchange remains firm at A@%
buying and u premium selling, some deal
eTs giving only Il to outsiders. Sales are
occasionally made below the market priceb by
the smaller houses, but the principal drawers
are firm.
Gold is in irregular request, and in very
small supply the Bankers having sold out
during the past week at % premium. The
buying fgure-N-is readily paid.
In New Orleans Exchange, Time-bills and
Uncurrent Money there is no change, nor
likely to be during the present week.
Hogs are still dull, with few transactions
though holders are firm, asking Sc rs per
Genital, net, for 200-pound pOrkers for the first
half of November, and Sc 90 for early De-
cember delivery. These rates remain 100
l5c. above the views of buyers, who are not
willing TO purchase better than SO 62% for

Late on Saturday some 700 or 800 Hogs
were disposed of at So 40 gross-equal ts

month. Holders think, and say, that the
price of 200-pound Hogs will advance to

buyers, on the other hand, declare that rates
win be lowfTthan they now are. The pack
ing season, il is thought, will open late this
year probably not much before the 18th

DESCRIPTION OF A JAPANESE BELLE-Her
Beauty and Elegance Of 1'oilette.-A late
traveller in Japan thus describes belle of
that country:
A face of classical beauty, according to
japanese notions, combined with great mod
esty of expression, black hair, turned up and
ornamented with long gold pins and scarlet
Grape flowers, an outer robe of the most
costly silk, embroidered in gold, and con-
fined at the waist by a scarf upon which the
highest female art had been expended in Or
nament, and tied in large bow behind, the
ends flowing over a long train formed by
seven or eight silk petticoats, each longer
and richer than the other. She must be ac-
complished in music, embroidery, singing,
and, above all, in skillfully improvising
verses for the delectation of her future lord.
Duty, a bundle of keys, weekly accounts,
and good housewifery are all very well. The
Japanese gentlemen wish, nay insists upon
the marriage yoke being entwined with
roses, and padded with the softest silk-it
must not chaie; if it does, off he goes to his
club, or, what is nearly as bad, his tea-house
The law allows him to do so, and is he not
lord of the land? The consequence is, that
Japanese ladies are very accomplished, very
beautiful, and bear high characters in all
that constitutes charming women; and their
admirers, touched with their many attrac-
tions, declare in Eastern metaphor, that for
such love as theirs the world were indeed
well lost

THE WoRLD's INJUSTICE TO WoMEN-A
Girl Acting as Deck-H Hdnd.--A late New
Orleans paper says; "a short, well-built
youth was brought to the bar of Recorder
prise the name of Minnie Brown was called,
and the Recorder, addressing the lad, who
was smiling, blushing, and expectorating to-
bacco- juice, fined her $40. The woman, for
such was the lad, was taken temporarily to a
cell below, and we questioned her as to the
reasons that led her to adopt the masculine
garb. She said she could not get along as a
woman, making but small wages, and not
getting paid half the time, and being strong
and healthy, she had shipped as deek-hand
ing that profession for the last six months
and liked it well. She was a good fellow,
and had rather remain man anyhow"

Trade continues quiet. fair amount of orders

Interestins Incident of 1S12-AnecdOte of
Old IrnnaiHes.

The following is familiar to many of our
readers, but is so well calculated to make the
rising generation proud of the noOle spirits
who shed so much luster on their country's
name during the memorable war of 1872
with the then proud mistress of the seas,
that 1t will bear republication at least once
year, as long as patriots are able to subdue
conspiratorss
The most brilliant naval action of the last
war was undoubtedly that of the American
frigate Constitution (44), commanded by
Commodore Stewart, when she captured the
two British corvettes CBdne and LeUaRt, of
greatly superior force, each of them being
equal to the old fashioned thirty-three gun
frigates. The handling of the American
frigate was throughout scientific and un-
eXceptionable. TT ssHI s nI .a.
By no maneuvering could either of the
British vessels obtain position to rake the
Constitution. Shift their ground as they
would, Old Ironsides was between them,
blazing away upon both vessels at the same
time. During the whole action, Stewart, in
stead of mounting the horse block, sat in
more exposed position astride the hammock
nettings, the better to observe the maneuv-
ering of his antagonist The Cydns was the
first to strike to Brother iona thsn-not an
unusual thing with British vessels during
that war. The first Lieutenant came in
haste to the Constitution to announce the fact.
"The starboard ship has struck, sir" said
the officer.
al knew it, sir replied the Commodore.
"The battle is Just half won"
''Shall order the band to strike up
Yankee Doodle, sir" inquired the Lieu
Here the Commodore took a huge pinch
of snuff, and then answered quickly:
Had we not better whip the other first,
sirr -...
DAY, ay, sir" replied the Lieutenant,
taking the hint, and went to his quarters.
In a short time afterward the LeUant
lowered the cross of Old England to the stars
and stripes, and the battle ended. The Lieu
tenant, being somewhat rebuked at his pre-
mature exultation upon the surrender of
the first vessel, was rather shy ofapproach-
ing his commander again but Stewart,
beckoning to him, said with smile
'Dont you think the band had better
strike up Yankee Doodle now, sir ?"
In an instant the spirit-stirring strain was
floating on the breeze, played as no other
than Yankee band can play it, and the
gallant crew shouted forth their cheer of
victory as no other than Yankee crew can

sometI,iug about the spider.

MoOres Rural Nev- Yorker has the follow
ing.
Spider is our common name for the family
Aranead9 Of Leach, and however repug-
nant they mag be to some, their habits and
structure excited the attention of natural
lists at very early period. They frequently
change their skins, and when about to cast
them, they suspend themselves in some
corner, and creep out of a fssure which
takes place on their back, gradually with
drawing their legs from the skin as we take
off glove. That they have the power of
reproducing their legs, is clearly proven by
the full account given of the manner in
which this takes place, by that accurate OBJ
server Of nature, Sir Joseph Banks. These
creatures prey upon other insects, and in the
economy Of nature seem to be destined to
prevent the too great increase of them,
while they in turn afford store of food for
the young mud-wasps and other species of
the genus Sphe1.
Spiders have four or five nipples or papillae,
at the extremity of the abdomen, through
which they can eject, with considerable force,
viseid juice through numerous minute aper-
lures. Reaumur has often counted seventy
or eighty with q microscopes; but has per
eeiyed that there were Infinitely more-say
1000 in each papilla. This will give us ar
idea of the exceeding fueness Of single
thread. 5000 producing the ordinary threat
for forming the web,-united these ar
speedily dried by the air. NJ. Bon, o
Languedoc, many years ago contrived Il
manufacture pair ofstockings and mitten
from the silk Of spider NJ. Reaumur wa
appointed by the Royal Academy to make
further inquiry into this new silk-work
who in his Memoirs of the Academy for the
year lilo, raised various objections, so a.
clearly to show that the thing wouldn't pay
as we say, and would no doubt prove
MorHS niutticGuis speculation.
The old genus Aranea, of which Gmelir
has enumerated more than 100 species
is now separated into a number o
genera, with a detail of which we will
not peFplex ourselves. We frequently
observe floating threads in the air in autumn
by some called air-tlTsads. Amy one taking
the trouble to arrest such thread, will fnC
a young spider attached to If. These youn.
are taking an afring and by that mean
visit new localities, and their eronautic ex
ploits are carried on by simply ascending
fence or elevated object, spinning out a line
which the wind carries outward and upward
until of sufficient length TO bear them up
when they rise and 60 sailing through tn
air in great glee, entangling gnats in thei
flight, which they no doubt prey upon; sine
legs and wings are frequently found attache
to the webs,
