Miscellaneous.
At st. Louis the Mississippi is about
stationary. The Missouri has risen one
foot at ST. Joseph, but by later news was
again falling. The Republican says OF
the fire on last Sunday evening at Caron-
delet, that the Schuyler was not destroyed
as reported, and is but slightly damaged
her crew having, by almost superhuman
efforts, succeeded in getting her of the
ways in time to prevent her destruction.
And again, the fire did not originate in
the engine-room OF the Jennie Deans,
but commenced in the boiler shed of the
marine railway, from whence it spread
to the Deans. In our local column will
be found the full particulars.
The Cairo Item has lost SIG by the
mob line, and whines over 1t muchly
We have in consideration the idea OF
raising the said money by subscription
from the clerks of the mobiles, and
refund it to the Item. Hear what he
says
LITTLE TRICK Ell Bic COMPANY.
The tubular-boilered monopolists-the
Company that blows up more boats, and
murders more people than any other
soulless monopoly that ever eXisted.the
Atlantic & Mississippi Steamship Gom-
pany--has swindled us, the poor Item,
out of sixteen honestly earned dollars.
Big thing, and we've no doubt this Com
pany, that boasts of millions of capital,
is heartily chuckling over this smart
sixteen dollar swindle We congratulate
the highway of death upon being so
smart. We presume they can now blow
nm another boat and kill FIVE or six hun
dred people Why not2 They have
robbed poor printer of sixteen dollars,
and can't they afford it? The agent OF
the tubular boilered monopoly put an
advertisement in the Item, and when the
big.souled proprieiors of the tlbnlars
found out they were SIG behind with us,
thew were cute enough to order the ad-
vertisement out and then magnanlmously
refuse to pay the SIG to the printer. A
company that can strew the waters from
St Louis and Louisville TO New Orleans
with the mangled, scorched and horrid
irag ments of dead people, who mad en-,
trusted their lives to this tubular bollertd
swindle, can we'll afford to ehuckle over
diqdntic robbery Of sixteen dollars.
Death dealing A. 4 NJ. 5. 5. Co, you are
welcome to that sixteen dollars OF ours
that you. have wsdded away. Take 1t,
and proceed with your regular daily and
weekly MURDERS Blow up our people
bv the thousand and ten thousand. They
deserve it, and more too, for ever putting
their feet upon boat that is owned run
and bowed to smithereens by such a
soulless set Of internal scoundrels.
