The WEATHER. Words can scarcely
describe the weather with which we
have been blessed since our last issue.
The sky has remained unlocked by
even a single cloud, the air as balmy as
ere it was in spring, and the tempera-
ture perfectly delightful.
Business. On the upper landing the
John f. Tolle, for st. Louis, and Katie,
for Vicksburg, were receiving freely all
day; also the Ouachita Belle for Mon
roe, and the Susie Silver from Cincin-
natl, was engaged in discharging her
large and valuable cargo. AT the lower
landing, the Willie, for Macon and
Tensas; John Howard, for Camden,
and Lotus No. 3, for Shreveport, were
getting pretty fair sprinkle Of freight.
The stage of the Mississippi and its
tributaries is the all absorbing topic at
present.
DEPARTURES. The Governor Allen for
Bayou Sara, Henry Tete for Lafourohe
and J. T. Frazer for Lower Coast com
prised the departures yesterday.
For late arrivals see marine column.
Late river telegrams will be found on

1T would like to aid YOU in your busi-

y
ness In some way.
"You can in this way have noticed
that your coachman exercises your
horses every day, and you not caring
always to take ride, | presume, the
carriage is frequently empty. 1t on the
days you do not wish to use the carriage
YOU will order your coachman to take it
to my store and remain in front Of the
store for half an hour, you will do me q
good turn.
The lady was amused by Mr.. Stew.
arts suggestion, and cheerfully granted
the request. The frequent appearance
Of the carriage in front of the store and
the presumptive presence of the fash
ionable owner of it within the store was
soon noticed by other women, and Mr..
Stewards scheme was speedily success,
ful. Carriage after carriage stopped
before .he store, and the stream OF
fashion was started that has since run

How he obtained Fashionable Patronage
New York Tribune.l

New York Trlbune.l
A friend Of Mr.. Stewart related an
anecdote yesterday, which showed the
methods that the merchant adopted,
when carrying on small business, to
increase the number Of his customers.
friends, and learned the name and resi-
dence Of the leader OF fashionable So
ciety in the city, and also the church
that she attended. He then sought out
the sexton Of the church and leased
pew directly in front Of that Of the lady
Regularly Sunday after Sunday there
after he sat in his seat and took part in
the worship. A few months passed, and
one Sunday, as the congregation was
about leaving the church, it suddenly
began to rain. The fashionable lady had
a carriage, but the sidewalk between
the church door and the roadway
lutely at the door upon perceiving the
drops OF rain, dreading injury to her
costly dress. The frequent mists and
rain Of Ireland had caused Mr. Stewart
to form the habit Of carrying an UNI
brella on all days Of the year, and he
had one on this day Raising it, he told
the lady he would shelter her beneath
it until she could walk to her carriage,
if she would accept the service. The
prOffer was accepted, he took her to the
carriage. and was heartily thanked
The following Sunday, after the service.
she addressed him and again thanked
him for his kindness. A short conversa-
ton followed, and occasionally on Sun
days that succeeded, as they were
coming out Of church, few words
passed between them. While talking
with member of the church one day
the lady learned Mr.. Stewards occupa-
ton, and the next time she met him
said:

Old Jeff Thompson is fussing over the
breaks Of the levee. This puts us in
mind of good thing said Of the General
by one Of our citizens from the upper
end Of the parish, who said that jeff
always came after break in the levee
to ascertain the quantity Of water flow

good one is in Mark Twain's Guided

Among the many curiosities to be ex-
hibited at the fair on the 25th, is a negro
man who is the acknowledged connect
ing link in Darwin's theory, having a
caudal appendage about eight inches
long, similar to that Of beaver. He
will arrive on the Tally next Friday.
This is no hoax, but a reality, and all
doubling ones are referred to Captains
Frank and Woodie Stone, who will
youch for its correctness. There will
also be a two-legged pig. Mobile Re
