Of a FlOrentine FrIRr.
Some Of the mOnasteries of Italy
and France will send curious inven-
tions to the Paris Exhibition. A
F~lorentine triar has constructed a
watch only a quarter of an inch in
diameter. 1t has not only a third
hand to mark the seconds, but a
microscopic dial which indicates the
days of the week and month, and
the proper dates. 1t also contains
an alarm, and, on its front cover,
an ingsniously cut figure of st.
Francis Of Assist. On the back
cover two Verses of the "Te Deum''
are distinctly cut. A monastery in
Brittany, France, will contribute a
plain-looking mahogany table, with
an inlaid draugbts or chess-board
on the surface. The inventor sets
the pieces for a game of chess, and
sits alone at one side of the board
He plays cautiously, and the oppo-
site pieces move automatically, and
sometimes checkmate him. There
is no mechanism apparent beneath
the table top, which seems to be a
solid mahogany board.

time to take all of his excursionists
up the river.
The favorite and popular passen-
ger steamer James D. Parker, in
command of Captain G. B. Russell,
leaves this evening at 5 o'clock for
Cairo, Louisville and Cincinnati,
attending to all way business and
making close connection with the
principal roads at Evansville, Louis
vile and Cincinnati, ticketing
passengers through to all Eastern
cities at greatly reduced rates, trans
ferring passengers and baggage to
railroad depots free of charge. The
Parker has unsurpassed passenger
accommodations. Captain Wash
Thompson, a gentleman with whom
it is a pleasure to travel and do
business, controls the office.
The fine steamer Ruth, Captain
Milt Harry, which by her runctu-
atty and the regularity of her trips
has gained the enviable encomium
Of "old reliable" will leave this
evening for White river, carrying
the mail and doing all way bust
ness on Little Red river, and going
through to Jacksonport, making
direct connection with the light
draught steamers Milt Harry and
Alberta for upper White and Black
rivers. She will also give special
attention to all Mississippi river
business this side of Terrene. She

accommodations and is a safe car
rier. Mr.. Ed Crowell, a gentleman
who is untiring in his efforts to
please and accommodate all who
do business with the Ruth, controls
the Office and is seconded by Will
Turney. The Ruth, with her little
captain, has done much to advance
our commercial interests and adj
vantages in White river, and is
Justly entitled to the benefits OF
the patronage of our merchants.
The Des Arc Citizen, in referring
to the Ruth, says: "Milt Harry's
Ruth GENE up early yesterday with
a good trip. The Augusta has
come in on his day, but he will have
to stand the racket, as he has to
carry the United States mail. Hav-
ing made himself very popular on
the river by making his rates uni.

ton or no opposition, it will be q
hard matter to take his business
