Prom the OIde.,


Mr.. James Jos. Michel, Of Michelrs
Point, in Dyer county, Tennessee, about
one hundred and twenty-five miles above
here, writes us some interesting reminis-
censes concerning high water. He is
near eighty-fve years Of age and has
lived on the banks Of the river since he
was tenyears old. Heis quite an active,
vigorous man yet, and whatever he SAYS
possesses peculiar interest. In the
course Of his letter be says:
The first high water | remember was
in 1915, which was the highest | ever
knew. had gone to New Orleans
IN q hatboat and witnessed the
battle Of January 8. After selling
my corn to the government
we started back. The levee was made
as far as Walnut Hill (Vicksburg). We
saw no land until we came to Strong's
farm (Helena). We had to cook and
sleep on drift, Next was Chickasaw
Bluff. We were out of provisions. Old
Mr; - lived opposite. He would not
sell to US, but we caught a barrel of -four
in the drift as we crossed and sold him
some dried beef. 1t took forty.6ve DAYS
to make the trip. | then lived in New
Madrid. My father moved to that place
in 1900.
In 1917 | went with a friend with an
other cargo to New Orleans. He caught
the yellow fever and it took all
our money to cure him. We came 10
Point Coupee in a barge; the yellow
fever broke out aboard and we started
home on foot. When we reached Col.
bert Ferry in Tennessee river the bank
was full. We made a raft and started
down, When we reached the Ohio it
was booming, and the Mississippi was
still more SO. This was in October. and
the only high water l ever saw 10 the
fall.
The next high water was in 1928. It
began in January and continued until
the latter part Of July. There were but
few farms then on the river. High
water after that was always in the spring
until 1874, when it came in July, when
good crops had been made. had sixty
acres Of corn and a leves in front Of my
farm. The steamer James NJ. White
went up, and the waves broke over
my leyee, but it did not hurt
as bad as this one. We then had some
resources; now we have none. Steam
boats then burnt all the wood we could
put on the bauk. l have some thousands
OF acres of land on the river. | could
employ twenty hands to cut wood. l
have tenants On my place who have lost
their crops. They are poor. What
must they do2 The boats take coal in
stead Of wood, and the money goes to
Pittsburg, Grand Tower and the Ohio,
and your city don't get a cent. Not only
hundreds of tenants will suffer, but small
farmers also, If you can help us to con-
vince steamboat owners that it is to their
advantage to help US we will be thank
fql. My postofice is Cottonwood Point,
Mo.

Crane Culture.

The LEDGER Office received Saturday
a box of grapes from Mr.. Joseph Good.
man, Of fernando, Miss, formerly a
jeweler of this city, who kept under the
Peabody Hotel. The box contained
choice varieties of Concord, Martha,
Perkins, Union Village seedlings, Rogers
No. 10 and Rogers No. "a and Della.
ware grapes. Finer specimens we
have never seen North or South. The
berries are large and sound, all ripened
alike and quite uniform insize. They
were delicious and highly appreciated.
We doubt not that Mr.. Goodman finds
grape culture more %congenial to his
taste than the jewelry business, and hope
that it will be far more profitable. he
evidently understands the scientific cul-
ture of the grape, and to use his own
language, will show what can be done in
the South. sigQlaa rlteA

Cotton Exchange Building.


To-day the Cotton Exchange took pos.
session Of the new building on the corner
Of Madison and Front streets. The
building erected by Mr.. Lenow, under
the direction Of the Cotton Exchange, is
a very handsome one, presenting a neat
architectural appearance. The hall Of
the Cotton Exchange is on the ground
floor, having entrances from Front and
Madison streets. The haIl is 6hy.fve
feet in length, twenty-five feet vide, and
fifteen feet. high, being as large as any
Cotton Exchange in the United States,
that Of Savannah, Ga, only excepted.
The wood work is Of oak granting, the
walls and ceiling being white, and the
doors being principally Of glass, a clear
light is diffused throughout the hall.
The b~lackboards cover one side and
show at a glance the state of the cotton
market throughout the world. You see
the worlds visible supply, net receipts
at United States ports, daily compare
tive statement at all United States ports,
interior movement, consolidated state
ment, exchange in New York, gold in
New York, London money market, Bonn

market for arrivals and deliveries, Liver
pool weekly statement, etc. A black
board has been put up for manifests and
another for the signal service maps
which show the state OF the weather and
wind at all points Of the United States.
The printing telegraph ticks of the news
from all points and prints it on a paper
ribbon, to be transferred to the black
boards. The hall is well furnished with
chairs tables, etc, for the use and con-
venience Of members and guests. Sec
Rotary Toof and assistant secretary
Semmes are in charge and a business
air pervades the entire establishment.
AS heretofore the Chamber of Commerce
will continue to hold their monthly
meetings at the Cotton Exchange hall.

Workhouse, and as one of them said the
other day; Send me to the Penitentiary
but not to the Island" This shows that
the General Council should, by all
means, turn its Migrants over to General
Forrest, who viii put them at work. At
present it costs 5000 per month to keep
up the changing. On Thursday next
the General Council viii meet. and some
thing should be done to get rid Of this
expensive elephant. 81
There was no religious service held at
the s~tation-house yesterday afternoon,
owing to the fact that the colored minis
tiers had to attend the baptizing Of a
brother, which event took place in the
Mississippi river, below the elevator, not
withstanding the overflow. Turnkey
Hope wished the black prisoners to wk-
ness SO interesting an event, and offered
the use Of al old cistern to the brethren
for that purpose, which generous offer
was not accepted, that water privilege
not being adapted for such purpose.
Since the high water set in business
men who are interested in the cotton
crop have been in bad humor. One of
our carriers called on one Of these a day
or two since and asked for fifteen cents,
the weekly dues on the LEDGER. The
merchant took three nickels out Of his
pocket, looked at them, turned them
over and quietly put them back, saying:
We'll, ] don't know what the river is
going to do, and / may need all the
money | have; come around next week..
This is but an example Of the tightness
of the money market, and shows how
pecuniary matters have been brought
down to a fine point during the past
three weeks, the effect Of which is felt
throughout every branch Of business.

sneak Thieves.

Saturday night last sneak thieves en-.

thieves carried off a valuable dress coat
and other clothing belonging to Captain
Anderson, and a pair Of shoes, jewelry
and shirt of Mr.. John milford, who ot-
cupied the DON with Captain Anderson
that night. Mr., milford states that they
retired about II o'clock, and he had

OF the time that in the morning he
would have occasion to deplore the loss

Last night on Main street, near Pop

Peterson, a furniture wagner, ran into
a horse and buggy driven by Messrs
Sweeney and Burns. The collision re-
suited in the killing Of Peterson's horse,
a valuable animal, the shaft of the other
buggy entering its breast and piercing
its heart, producing almost instant
death. Neither occupants of the buggies
were injured by the accident.

The social Evil.

This morning the Washington street
social evil cases, upon the complaint Of
G. W. Truehart, came to an abrupt Ter
mination before Esquire Hall, an afida-
Wit having been fled alleging that the
defendants could not have justice before
Hall, and consequently they asked for a
change Of venue. They being entitled
to such under the law, Esquire Hall,
paying no attention to the remon'
stances Of Messrs. Brown and Hutchin'
son, sent the case to Esquire Quigley
for trial. 1t will be remembered that q
few days since Esquire Quigley, in q
similar case, ruled that he had no juris,
diction.

Attempted suicide.

On Saturday night John Brady, who
resides on Second street, near Carolina,
attempted to commit suicide by shooting
himself in the left breast with a pistol.
The ball entered the breast above the
nipple, glancing rib a rib and out and en-.
tering the left arm, inficting a painful,se Sc.
we're, but not very dangerous wound.
He had a disagreement with his wife
concerning his neglect to work and help
to support her and family, and in conse-
quence Of her reproaches, be determined
deliberately to shuttle off the mortal coil
and embark for that undiscovered coun.
try from whose bourne no traveller re-
turns. His wife is a hard-working, in
dustrious woman, and has been support
ing both for some time by sewing. A
police officer, who visited the house last
night, found him sitting up eating sup
per, and her hard at work sewing for a
living.

the dangerous condition Of the sidewalk
