t-4 Thursday Morning. April Is, 1853
The rain which began to fall whilst we were
writing our last report continued until nearly
daybreak yesterday. The wind continued to
blow all day, varying from south to southwest

have been few aud Tar between. and al Of them
report having experienced heavy weather on
Monday and Tuesday. 80 go
But little business was transacted on the land
ing yesterday, and the packets which left port,
with few exceptions. had very light freight.
During the gale Tuesday night the smoke stacks
Of the Atlsnfic and Mississippi Steamship Compa-
ny's steamer Mississippi were blown down. 0ne
OF them fell upon the hurricane deck of the Com
tiDental, smashing in her roof and doing con-
siderable damage.
Ore OF our contemporaries yesterday morning
spoke Of the Robert E. Lee blowing up the
bed Of the old father of waters-r We believe
that the champion" is capable of doing as
much (if not more) as ever has been done by a
Mississippi river steamer but do not believe that
she accomplished this submarine feat.
The river before the city continues to rise II
was two feet six inches below high water mark
yesterday.

The officers of the W. A. Caldwell report Ar.

Memphis on Wednesday and leave here on Satlr-
day KIT Memphis Avalanche. 14th.
We guess not. She left here yesterday for
Greenville and the Bends. 800
Our steamboat landing presents dull. summer
appearance. Up freights are getting TO be scarce,
aud our local packets arrive with regular " q y
time trips. sts-''l

Wednesday Evsrine. April Is. 1893
C0TToS-Busness has been almost wholly sns-
pended in the staple throughout to-day. Advices
by telegraph were delayed till the afternoon,
owing TO an interruption in the wires. and when
they came to hand they we're pronounced less
favorable than had been anticipated. especially
cline 10 the Liverpool market. Offerings were
exceedingly light, however, owing to the trifing
stocks in first hands. and factors manifested their
accustomed frmness, bat buyers could not be in
duced TO 60 in with their usual spirit. and the
total operations have been confined to $50 bales,
at about previous quotations. which we repeat,
barely for reference, however, as follows, viz !:

The Language of the Eyes,

1t has been said that woman wisa
a hazel eye never oIopes from her
husband, never Chats seaudal, never
sacrifices her husbands comfort for
her own, never fluids fault, never talks
too much or too little, and is always
an entertaining, agreeable, and Lovely
companion.
1--WE never know says bpother
quill "but one embarrassing and I'M
amiable woman with hazel eye, ena
she had anose which looked, as th5
Yankee bcys would say, like the Its
tie end Of nothing Whitfield down 70

The grey eye is the sign ofshroRE
ness and talent. Great thinkers aud
captains have it. In women il ipdi-
Gates better head than heart The
dark hazel is as noble in its SuifL
canee as in its beauty. The bluesea
is admirable, but may Tbe feeble.

Nathan Swain, nice young me-
chauic, had pretty wife aud four
children. Swain took boarder. n
freight conductor on the Q. II. l. u T..
Railroad, who stole the pretty woman's
affections and became very naughty.
Swain begged Of his wife, at various
times, to change her conduct and he
would forgive her She wouldn'tre.
form, and so Swain divided his goods
with her aud helped her ship them
west in company with her seducer.
Tho woman got into the caboose aud
bade her husband good bye as coolly
as though he was a mere acquaint-
ance. Swain then went up to the ras-
cal aud said You've got the wo-

regulations TO mitigate the public
nuisance by keeping outward Ter.
Aud by this it also made this tra de
contribute to bear the public burdens,
which il so largely increases. But
under our foolish constitutional pro.
vision tho trade is free. II mauulac
lures paupers aud csiminals; II ia the
cause of the greater part of our
commercial expenses, and II is exempt
from anything toward them by this
constitutional provision, which. in
theory, was to make il purely tenn
peraneo Constitution.
In the light Of the result, it Is i'm
possible 20 have much respect for the
temperance rotormors, who shin
their burdens to the law, and consid
or themselves absolvod by a penal
liquor law They do nothing them
selves, aud they make the law an oh.
siruction to such regulating rs il
might do. There is as good field
for the work Of temperance relotm
now, as there was when IL began,
The same effort would achieve as
great success. The law has done
nothing to prevent the vice ofintem
perance, aud 1t cnn do nothing. This
is now, aud has long bocu so palpa-
BILE, that tho recourse of throwing
upon the law ones individual ac-
eountability for moral work neglected
has ceased ia be current, and the
temperance zeal which calls for more
penal laws, has ceased to pass as sin
zero

A Story With a Moral.


Some time since lady called up
on a celebrated oculist, in order to
consult him on account of her eyes,
complaining that their power Of Vi
sion had of late considerably dimin-
ished. At glance the doctor saw
that she was lady Of rauk aud
wealth. He looked at her eyes, shook
his head, aud thought the treatment
would require much time, as there
were reasons tn fear amaurosis in her
case. lie must advise her. FIRST of
all, that, rs she had informed him
he was residing considerable dis
tance in the country, she must move
into the city at once, and thus ena-
bic him to see her frequently, pas
sible, daily.
The lady then rented an olegan
mansion, moved into the city, aud
the physician was punctua IN his Al
tendance. lie prescribed this and
that, aud thus days rau into week
aud weeks iuto months The cure
however. was still coming, The ply
siciau tried to console her.
Ons day tho patient hit upon q
curious scheme, aud she waited no,
long to carry it into eject,
She procured for herself very old
aud poor attire, put a hood of tre-
mendous size upon her head, took an
old umbrella aud a market basket in
her hand, and in these habiliments
she visited her physician, selecting
for the purpose very rainy day
She had So well succeeded in distort.
ing aud Disgusting herself that the eye
even of lover could scarcely have
recognized her, She was obliged to
wait for a long time in the aute.roon
of the physician, with many others
who, like her, we're seeking relief,
At last her turn came.
"Well, my good woman, what have
you got to complain OFF,
Very bad eyes, doetcr," she au.
swered.
Ho took her 10 the light, looked
into her eyes, but failed to recognize
his patient.
Shrugging his shoulders, hc said;
"Your eyes are we'll enough
"Well2" she said
ayes; l know what I am saying
"But l have been told that wa
