MISCELLANEOUS,

The James Fisk Jr. has laid at Paducah
for repairs and the steamer West Wind
will take her place during the time, which
will be about 2 weeks. The West Wind
is commanded by Capt. VIM Strong ond
James Beverly, privates in the Office.
On the last up stream trip of the City of
Helena il is said she made the run from
Hickman to Cairo in 3 hours and 10 min
u,es. Capt. Lennox says that his boat,
The Grand Tower has made the run in 2
hours and SO minutes, and that the first
trip that she came up the river she came
from Hickman to Cairo in 2 hours and %
minutes.
The Eckert is still working at her log
barges. The roof of the Tolle was covered
with coups of poultry when she left here.
The Tyrone will be sold by the L. 5. Mar
shall tomorrow. The Crescent City and
Dictator left for St. Louis with tows of
empty barges. The Colorado, from Vicks-
burg, came in light. The Emile La
Barge was flying light. She came from.
Shreveport via New Orleans.
Mr.. Hiram Hill, the submarine diver,
searched the river three hours Saturday
afternoon for The body Of Mike Carroll,
and when be was offered pay he refused
to take it. We deem it but justice to Mr.
Hill, that the above should be known. 1t
was a noble act and attended by many
dangers.
The John F. Tolle laid Sunday night
at Greenfelds, sounding the channel and
reported feet. She arrived with fair
load, and added considerable freight here.
A deck passenger fell over board off the
Jim Fisk above Caledonia and was
drowned. He lived NJ Turner'S landing,
and was intoxicated at the time.
The Idlewild had but little freight. She
passed the city like u streak Of tightening
as she came in, and rounded below the
coal yard. AS q runner she is hard to
beat.
The Nick Longworth is at Mound City
and will be taken out on the ways and
given thorough repairing.

YESTERDAY morning, party of four or
five young men, who probably bad forgot
ten tina, the fourth of Ju y, with all its
sporting and festvlty was buried with the
things OF the past, concluded TO take
pleasure excursion in dug-out. Whether
the exhileraton produced by freedom from
business, or the anticipation Of happy
hours to come" caused the strange fretk-
of this excursion party, We cannot tell
but true it is, that Barnum, had he put in
an appearance on the Kentucky shore
about O'clock, would have been aslonish-
ed at the gymnastic performances Of that
party. After securing their bark, they
proceeded to diyest themselves Of their
wearing apparel, and plunge headlong in
to the turbd waters of the raging Ohio.
While endeavoring to turn summersault,
one of them ran his head into the mud,
while his heels were above water, and his
companions were compelled to extricate
him, otherwise he might have been there
yet, as q beacon of warning to all pleasure
seekers in that vicinity. Another one was
attacked by huge galliLipper, which left
the marks of his jaws in the vicinity of
his right eye; while the third was taken
from the mdddy, Shiny waters edge,
clothes and all, in altogether too ludicrous
q condition to mention, The party return
ed to Cairo, fully satisfied that as excur-
sionists they were not successful. The
last seen of them, they were taking
something to keep up Their courage till
they reached home.

Good Citizens.
"VVU NFETEtHNs
From the Mexico (Mo.) lntelligencer

From the Mexico (Mo.) lntelligencer.
Every community loves to boast of
good citizens. And not unfrequentlr
persons are included in this class that
do not belong to it. and cannot by any
forced construction be so considered.
1t is not every good man who can be
said t, be u good citizen. He may be
wealthy, intelligent, Ugh. toned, refined,
patriotic, moral and rious, and may 10y
his gcntlemanly department command
the respect of all, while at the same
time so far as the good he has done to
Others, or the service he has rendered
to the community in which he lives,
is concerned, he might as well never
have lived. Such man, no matter
how good he may be, certainly cannot
be said to be good citizen. The man
who is always to be found at his post in
his line of business, behind his counter,
at his office, his shop or upon his farm,
whose pew at church is never to be
found vacant when duty requires him
to be in it, and who never withholds
his hand when the financial interests
of his church make demands upon him,
but whose hands are closed and his in.
tluence is withheld as to everything
else, who is deaf and dumb, and blind
to the common good of society, may be
good man, and pillar of strength in
his church, but such q man cannot be
called n good citizen. The man who is
always far more snYious to contribute
to the promotion of some other than
the particular enterprise now claiming
his encouragement and support, is not
a good citizen.
The man whose signature can be OBJ.
tanned to any Lind of a proposition
tending to promote the common good,
who never fails to promise his influence,
nor to pledge his cooperation, but
whose signature, promises and pledges
are practically and in reality fraud
upon those with whom he proposes and
pledges himself to cooperate, is not
good citizen. The man who never per
forms public duty, so long as his
conscience perverts his ingenuity to
form plausible excuse for not perform
ing it, and who is always behind time
in such performance of duty as he
cannot evade, is not a good citizen. The
man who opposes or ridicules a PROPOSE
ton SIMPLY because of the source from
which it emanated, or without having
first inves tigated the merits of the
proposition, is not a good citizen. The
man who can sit still or plod along day
after day without disturbance in his
usual round of business, and not raise
his hand to aid, while measures are
being pressed forward by the contribu
tions and labors of his neighbors to a
successful contamination, the result of
which will cover him all over with the
richest benefits, may possibly be good
man, but good citizen never. That
man only who fulfills his promioos, re
deems his pledges and performs his
duty to the best of his ability to the
community in which he lives, is good
citizen.
