RIVER, WEATHER AND BUSINESS.
The Mississippi continues falling at St.
Louis and the channel is 3! feet between
here and that city, but hard TO find.
The Ohio has risen eighteen inches in
the last forty-eight hours, and continues
to rise at a rapid rate.
Business OH the levce was fair during
the forenoon, but seemed to decrease to-
ward evening. There were few shipments,
and none of the boats that left yesterday
received any freight here.
The weather was clear and pleasant
the day long, but pedestrians found it
a difficulty TO navigate through the mud
and slush.

The Atheneum was crowded last night
by a fine audience to listen to the lecture
of Mr.. Martin in reply to Mrs. Oberly.
The exercises were opened by Mrs. Can

The lecture was finely read by Miss
Thompson, an unfortunate defect Of VI

reading it herself. The lecture was a
fine literary production, Astounding in
humorous sallics and strong arguments.
It was listened to with marked attention

When Times Will Get Better.
W don't the times get better ?"

"Why don't the times get better? ?"
This is a question which is frequently asked.
We think, says the Ledger, that the times
are getting better-slowly, but surely. And
they will continue to grow better just about in
the ratio that industry increases and extrava-
gance decreases
We we're reading, not long ago, about a
GREAT Belgium iron manufacturer, whose works
cover eight acres of ground. His business
amounts to millions of dollars per aunum, and
he is able to undcrsell rivals in oil parts OF the
world 80. ,.,.,
One of the chief reasons of his ability thus
to triumph over competitors, is to be found IN
the facts that his personal and family e1pen-
ses amount to only sixteen thousand francs 49,
200) a year, that he oversees his business hlm-
self and that all his sons and son-ln-laws work
with him, and are as industrious and econo-
mical as he is.
How different the great manufacturers OF
this country and their families. AN American
with such a business as this Belgian, would
not he content with living on a paltry three
thousand two hundred dollars a year. His
sons would not put Oh leather aprons and work
at the bench. Ills daughters would not con-
sent to their husbands working like day labor
crS.
Mo- he would have a costly establishment
Tbey would all have costly establishments
His sons would spend more for cigars and din,
ners than sufices to pay all the personal and
family expenses of the Belgian iron king. Ills
daughters would expend three thousand two
hundred dollars in their outlay for one grand
fancy ball. Newport, Saratoga, the European
tour. and such like indulgences, would swal-
low up tens of thousands Of dollars per annum
And in the absence of the head of the estab-
lishment away on some fashionable tour. the
cashier would leave with the contents of the
treasury. -,
OF course, such concern would have to
charge high prices for all its commodities q, !;
With all the advantages of high tariff ana
the cost of ocean transportation in It's favor IL
could not compete with the Be lgian who, rem
forced by all his family, attends assiduously to
his business, and forcgoes all the fashionable
frivolties of the age.
It is not to be expected that anybody's fam
ily in this country will initiate the Belgian
iron kings family but it is not unreasonable
to maintain that until industry and economy
shall take the lead of idleness and extrava-
cance the times will not generally and perma-
nently get any better.

A Curious Incident In the Life OF Stonewall
Jackson.

1t was the great Fredrick who in the midst
of his wondrous military career told an admirer
how every battle hung on contingencies SEEM
inely so trifng that they could neither be fore
seen nor provided for, and the remark has often
occurred to me in connection with an incident
in the life of Gen. Jackson, which has so far es-
capped his biographers, and which illustrates the
equal uncertainty of the destinies OF men and
armies.
What follows may be relied on as absolutely
authentic, indeed, if I mistake not, Colonel
(then Captain) Wyatt NJ. Elliott and Captain
Bossieux, of the Richmond Grays, took part in
the episode. :,
In the Spring of '61 there were stationed
around Norfolk many of the crack volunteer
infantry companies of the State, and these were
formed into the twelfth regiment by Governor
Letcher and D. A. Weisiger, of Petersburg
was commissioned as the colonel. Shortly af-
terwards an order was issued from State head
quarters assigning Lieutenant Colonel T. J.
jackson to the command, and directing him to
report to Norfolk for duty. This news being
communicated by the colonel to the company
officers. was received with great indignation,
and a consultation was held to determine what
should be done to prevent the execution OF the
obnoxious order. In the first place, the ofllcers
were very tenacious of their volunteer" right
to select their own superors; and in the second
place. there happened to be in the regiment
several gentlemen who had recently graduated
ut the Virginia Military Institute and who
brought thence the prevalent and by no means
fotter;nr. estimate on Jackson's character and
abilities. Their untavorable report of him,
backed by instances of his eccentrcities
and ascetic disposition, confirmed and in
famed the objection first made to stranger,
and the end of the matter was letter to Gov
ernor Letcher protesting against the assignment
and asking for its revocation. After some hes
tation the Governor complied, and giving
Jackson another field of duty launched him
forth on that path of fame so well known to
all men.
The twelfth regiment remained at Norfolk
during 81, and was still inactive in the follow
ing Spring, when their rejected Lieutenant
Colonel entered upon that campaign in the val
ley which has no parallel i'll American war
fare for its briliance anu force. In the Sum-
mer campaign the regiment took efficient part; 4;
and at Crampton's Gag, Fielding Taylor, the
gallant and accomplished officer, who came to
Us us in the place of the rejected Lieutenant Col
onel, was killed; but ere then Jackson had be-
came famous, had been promoted to the COM
mand of half the army, and was filling giants
nlace in the minds of friend and foe. And often
then and afterwards, on the march and around
the camp fire, was there talk of the invinclble
! leader, and a smile that we had once rejected
him, and growing wonder as to how different
might have been his history-perhaps, how
varied our experience but for the independent
