in mid-stream: Il little ladder is hung over

go in more like ducks, with Il sort of nut

they swim merrily round the boat. laugh
ing and chasing one another, and every
now and then climbing up the ladder TO
rest. At Bas MeudoIf there are number
of covered boats which may be hired, and
within the gypsy-like tent of the stern the
ladies make their toilets. while the gentle
men make theirs in the bows. But here,
also, are islands. with convenient bushy
shelters. and bathers of both sexes take
advantage of them in the absence of bath
ing houses. or better cover. Then there
are pretty villas upon the river bank.
which suggest to the occupants a bathing
place of their own. As you walk along

Collision on The Jackson railroad.

Sunday morning about ten o'clock the up
and down freight trains on the Jackson rail
road. colllded between independence and
Amite City.
Some of the freight cars were demolished,
aud one Of the locomotive tenders was
thrown into an upright position; but, for
tunately, no lives were lost. The fireman
of the down train was slightly bruised, and
the engineer had his hand crushed.
The passenger train, going North, reached
the scene of the accident in about an hour
after the collision. The conductor, Mr. VII
liam Fitzpatrick, took his train back.to the
Southern Car Works, just below Indepen-
dence, and then proceeded to the next sta
ton below, to obtain aid in removing the
debris of the colIided trains.
Tie passenger train remained at the car
works during the day. About ten O'Clock
il the evening the distractions were re
moved, and both passenger trains, the up
and down. proceeded on their way.
