Yesterday'sst. Louis Republican says:
The river is clear of ice, and only needs
a swell to admit of full and vigorous
resumption Of navigation During We'd
nesday night it rose one inch, and from
daylight yesterday morning to dark last
evening it swelled one inch and half,
making total of two and half inches
for the twenty-four hours ending at six
clock last night, and a total rise of six
teen inches since the blockade was raised
Captain John Keiser, of the Memphis
and st. Louis Packet Company, is in the
city. The object of his visit is to see
upon what terms he. can obtain levee
room sufficient to build an elevator.
Referring to his visit, the Republican of
yesterday says:
An important movement has been set
on foot by the Memphis and st. Louis
Packet Company, in the shape Of build
ing elevators at Memphis and Vicksburg
The expense of unloading one of this
company's boats at Memphis is attended
with great outlay, and ranges from six
to eight hundred dollars trip, and at
times has been as high as a thousand
dollars a boat. The bank at Memphis is
very steep, and freight has to be carried
considerable distance The company
now propose to construct at that point
and Vicksburg suitable elevators to un-
load their boats, which is claimed will
save at least one dollar per ton, and on
a boats cargo of five or six hundred tons
will be considerable saving to the com
pany, and necessarily result in great
benefit to both shipper and consignee in
the way of reduction in rate of freight.
Captain John Keiser, Superintendent of
the Memphis Packet Company, left here
Wednesday evening for Memphis and
Vicksburg, to ascertain upon what terms
levee room could be obtained for the
purpose, and we hope the authorities Of
both cities will see the Importance and
make such terms as will insure their
immediate erection. 1t is one of the
most important projects of the day, and
we hope will be carried out.

RIVER, BUSINESS, MISCELLANEOUS.
The river rose three feet during the
past twenty-four hours, and is now rising
slowly. There is abundant water, both
above and below, for the largest steamers
to pass without difficulty. The rise has
abated somewhat at Cairo, but rise is
reported at St. Louis that will improve
navigation between those points. White
river is rising, with seven feet in the
channel to Jacksonport. The Arkansas
is rising at Little Rock, with fully thir-
teen feet out from that point. Business

is disagreeable. A drizzlig rain set in
again last night, and continued until
midnight, when it turned cold. To-day
it is cloudy and cold, with indications of
snow

the W. R. Arthur will be found in our
local columns. Her cargo consisted of

brought to the shore, some of which was
yet burning. Pieces of the wreck we're
also picked up.

Never do you marry a young woman

her of her evening bloom. Yol
should take care to surprise her, sc
that you can see her morning dress

DRIFTED APART.

Time was when down the stream Of life
Our banks sailed on together.
Through the days of elemental strife
In storm or pleasant weather;
Past sunny isles, where summer reigns
Serenely throned and smiling,
With laugh, and song, and music's strains
Our pleasant way beguiling.
Joy lit within each youthful breast
A spark of bliss undying;
We saw where on their peaceful nest
The halcyon brood were lying.
Peace peaeew the skies seemed telling
DER
This message to the river;
From isle TO isle, from shore TO shore,
We felt the echoes culver.
A sudden cloud bolt of wrath
That rent our banks asunder
Then fell upon our storm beat path
The lightning and the thunder.
And eyer on through storm and dark,
More wide and wildly flying,
Each in his own discovered bark
To distant shores Went hieing.
What matter if the sunshine play
Or stormy grows the weather.
For never since that fatal day
Came those TWO barks together.
Oh, heart look up there comes time
When souls thus widely parted
Shall meet within that heavenly cline
The loved, the loving hearted.

~ The New Orleans Plcay'ne
tells the story Of printer, who, when
his fellow workmen went out to drink
beer during the working hours, put
in the bank the exact amount which
he would have spent if he had gone
out to drink. He kept to this reso-
luton for five yers. He then ex-
amined his bank account and found
that he had on deposit 1921 so In
the five years he had not lost a day
from ill-health. Three out of five of
his fellow-work had, in the mean
time, become drunkards, were worth
less as workmen, and were dis
charged. The water-drinker then
bought out the printing Office, went
on charging his business, and in 20
years from the time he began to put
by his money was worth 100000.
The story, whether new or old, tea

chanic should lay to heart.

THE ALEXANDRIA FIRE-RELIcs.

The desh uction of the old market
building in Alexandria, Va, by fire,
few nights ago, was an event Of
interest to the whole country. The
building was constructed in 1749.-
In the third story was the Alexandria
Museum, in which were deposited
many relics of the early days of the
city, which were of great interest
and value, associated as they were
with the Revolutionary war and the
distinguished individuals who bore
prominent part in it. These were
the walking cane and spurs of Wash
ington, flag of his body guard in 1775,
portrait of himself and wife, Paul
Jones' flag, suit in which Tecumseh
was killed, bier on which Washing
ington's body was borne to the grave,
the flag of Morgan's Alexandria
company OF war rifles, small cav
airy flag of Lees Revolutionary Lee
gion, and many other relics, as dear
to the country at large as they were
precious to Alexandria.
The room occupied by Alexandria
Washington Lodge No. %, of Ma
sons, was built in 1902, and was first
occupied September 10th ofthe same
year. The valuable portrait of Gen
eral George Washington (who was
master of the Lodge in 1884, pain
ted in 1887 by Williams, of Phila-
delphia, the chair used by him as
master, the portrait of Lafayette, the
magnificent service of glassware, the
original charter of Lodge No. ~,
dated in 1888 and the valuable relics
so much priced by the fraternity,
were saved.
