Commodore Rollingpin's Almanac for 1861
He was a roustabout, and as he sat on
the pile Of sombre skids, belted and cot
ton-hooked, and calmly gazed on the
mighty Mississippi, as it rolled on in its
uncessing march to the sea, and saw the
empty hsrbor, with its deserted wharf
boats, and the great bridge, and hume
rous railroad trains dashing about on
either side of the broad river, his heart
failed him, and burying his face in his
hands, he INDUCED in long and deep
meditation.
He thought of the days when he was a
popular mate and chawed off the ears
and noses of the deck crew
When none spoke Of him but to praise,
None knew him but to fear;"
when he kept his private graveyard, and
stocked it with fresh corpse every sea-
son, and his credit was good in any sa-
loon from st. Louis to New Orleans, and
the bar-keepers all knew it was good,
from sundry well.developed bumps which
he had erected on their craniums in or.
der that they might more easily remem-
Der him. And comparing those flush
times with his present detected and fallen
condition, he reused himself from his
reverie, and muttered, "The country
gone to hill.
Then he opened up such an eloquent
philippe on the whole road system, that
the skid piles fairly shook and twisted,
and the wharf boats seemed to chafe
their chains in exultalion, and the old
Father Of Waters to stand still and drink
in the honey of his words. One BY one
the stars came forth, and soon the full
round moon rose out of the distant
prairies, investing the veteran with a
halo Of silver light, which revealed the
rent in the seat of his pantaloons, for he
had warmed with his subject, and now
stood up, and surrounded by the dreary
waste, looked like huge statue erected
to perpetnate the memory Of some great
victory Of the past ages. After a mo-
ment's pause he pursued in calmer and
more resigned tone, for he had evidently
exhausted his supply Of superauous
gases, and began to weaken: "Old Mis-
sissippi, the d--d railroads have got
you" and he toddled off in search of q
five cent saloon, whistling, q want to be
an angel.

Eloping with a ShreM.

A European correspondent tells the
following pretty story: | hear story of
an elopement which fills me with alarm

matte agents as are quartered at St.

suaded the wife Of friend to fly to

calculation of time and trains the fugi.

rounded by travelling apparatus, are
waiting for the moment OF departure in
KS house when the husband is an

into a neighboring room. The husband
comes in with his wiie's letter in his
hand My dear u" he says, Dy
wife tells me that you are going to be
good enough to escort her over the from
tier. ! have, therefore, come to thank
you in person for the greatest service
which any man has ever done me. Only,

tired of her, as must soon be the case,
you will not bring her back again, or we
may disagree. Bon voyage" snd he left
the room. / understand that gloom
was cast over the excursion by this
speech, which resulted in a separation
soon after the travellers arrived at Paris.
So Y - returned to Russia alone. The
first person he meets is the husband, who
said, T" What back already2 told you

replied u, " but you quite forgot to

laughed the husband, "and remember
that there are SECRETS in every family

the fingers Of the discoverer. As it is,

but moral in its bearings, for it teaches

The steamer Ruth and the White
River Trade.


River Trade.
White County Record.
Unavoidably the steamer Ruth failed
to appear in her place at the landing in
Little Red last week She put in set
of new'engines at Memphis, and it took
longer than was expected. Hereafter,
however she will have no such delays,
and will be on time promptly No one
regrets it more than Captain Ed Postal,
her commander, Captain Milt Harry
being now in command Of the other boat
for it was a serious loss 10 them. With
her new engines the Ruth will be able to
make better time, ana will be prompt in
her arrivals and departures. 1t is the
aim Of both Captain Harry and Postal
to be prompt in their arrivals and de-
partures, so that shippers and travellers
can always rely upon what time they
will be in our stream; though for the
present the Ruth will come up our
stream, whilst the st. Francis Belle will
60 to Jacksonport. Really, one boat
week will be enough for our stream.
We would rather have two; but
we cannot ask a sacrifice from
others in order to crafty our desires.
The charges of the steamer Ruth have
been reasonable during the summer,
when trade was dull aud they could have
risen, because they had the river to
themselves. This is one very good rea.
son why she should have the preference
over any other boat that may appear in
our stream. She was reasonable when
she could have extorted; therefore it be-
hooves US to stick by her. That is the
spirit of everybody here as we'll as all
along White river. Both Milt Harry and
Ed Postal have won the confidence and
esteem of the public in the White river
valley, and they mean to support them
in their endeavors to bring us our
freights at reasonable, living rates. Our
people have been taught in the past that
it will not do to listen to "cAeap freight
boats, because as soon as they starve out
the other boat these cheap" chaps put
on a tariff to suit their own greedy
desires, and the way the people
have to pony up is eau
ton. They know it pays them
to pay reasonable tariff to reasonable
men-men who have proven themselves
honorable and Northumberland that is
why Milt Harry and Ed Postal will con-
tinue to do the bulk OF the business in
the Whiteriv trade. They have proven
themselves WORTHY of confidence, and the
people respect them accordingly. The
Ruth gets a liberal share of passengers
now as well as ireights, and we believe
it will not be long ere people will again
travel by river nearly as much as in the
past. 1t is certainly more pleasant, par
ticularly to ladies and children. The
steward on the Ruth, Mr.. P. Duffie, is a
man that understands his business to
perfection. Ladies travelling on her
speak In high praise of his management,
and are very much pleased with the table
he sets Captain Starr, the mate of the
boat seems also very clever soul. We
wish the Ruth and her officers long and
successful career,

His FIRST Watcsi.

1t was a good horse, but a better
horse for dead pull than for speed.
The buggy was old-fashoned, with
q crevase in the dashboard and q
spoke missing from one of the hind
wheels. AS the auctioneer raised
his hammer and told the crowd
that he had known the horse all
his days and had made the circuit
of the world in that buggy, the
owner of the outfit leaned against
the vehicle and wondered how any
body could tell such q bold lie, and
still preserve such placid express
sion of countenance.
He was young man. He had
seen harvest apples and watermel-
ons come and go about twenty-four
times. His whiskers were soft and
fuzzy and orange colored, his pant
aloons were thrust into his boots,
and It was as plain as white dog
at midnight that he had come in
from the country to sell the rig and
fatten his wallet. He varified the
statements of the auctioneer that
the horse was sound, kind, gentle,
docile, amiable, ambling and ten
der-hearted, and that the buggy
would continue to roll on until
time will get tired Of trying to re-
duce it to a state of general use
lessness.
"Forty--fve--fifty---five---sixty
-seventy-five, going--last call
quick-can't dwell-g-o-n-e J" cried
the auctioneer.
"Gosh to snakes !" exclaimed the
guileless young man, as he settled
up, pocketed the remainder and
ielJ inc corner.
He felt good. None Of us feel
good when our pockets are empty.
I said to myself that he would buy
hair-oil, q cocoa-nut, bottle Of
perfumery, jack-knife, q dollar
chrome, two dollar diamond, a
pair Of pantaloons with a stripe
down the leg but I was deceived.
