THE RIyER.-The Ouachita is lower
now than at any time during the past
four years, and has been closed at this
point longer than at any time during
the same period. Horsemen ford it
opposite town without any difficulty.
Boats are able. however, to get over
Catalonia shoals and to come to
Rutiand's bar. We look for q late
river. The Mississippi is very low,
with no prospect of an early rise as
high up as Louisville. There can be
no permanent navigation hore until the
Mississippi rises.

lover places il on his lips TO command
silence and circunspeotion. The gods
Of antiquity wore the ring of authority
as their imposing phalaax, an evidence
Of their omnipoteUce. This example is
still initiated by the pope, cardinals,
aud bishops. The second finger from
the thumb is the drum major Of the
