General Garibaldi is described rs
looking we'll, but pale and thin. He is
extremely anxious as to the issue of his
divorce case, which was to have been
decided in the Court OF Appeal on the
7th of August. A curious incident oc.
Cured ut the lsst trial. The young
King, who has chivalrous admiration
for the old General, said, while the
trial was pending, II hope he will
succeed, 'povero vecchio.'" Some OF.

judges as they were celebrating, with
the addition that the King desired that
they would pronounce favorable yer.

much offended. wrote to the King, say.
ing that he could not bring himself to
believe that his Majesty intended to
influence the decision Of the judges,
and that rather than submit to pressure
he should prefer to resign. The King
was half indignant, half amused, and
himself related the episode to the Min.

Captain Edward Flood, superin-
tendent under Major w. II. Benyard,
of the United States engineering de-
partment, will commence the cleaning
out of Fourche river by next Monday,
or as soon as he can get his machinery
here and in readiness. He will have
two boats and twenty-five hands, and
commence at the mouth of the stream
and work up. From the mouth of
the stream to Perryville there are
45OO hanging trees to be cut down
and hauled out, and 400 snags to be
taken out, and several large rocks to
be taken out by blasting. On one of
the boats he will have an engine and
derrick to aid in the work. There is
a government appropriation Of $40, 700,
made some time since for the cleaning
out of the stream. Captain Joe Evins,
of our town, furnishes the boats, and
has a spoon in the dish. He returned
home last Friday evening, from st.
Louis, where he spent eight or ten
days looking after his work. He in
forms us that there is an iron snag-
boat being built at st. Louis, now
nearly finished, for Arkansas river.
The government appropriation for
cleaning out Arkansas river is $50. 900
-S20, 900 of which is to be used above
Fort Smith, and $4,000 down our
way, and below. Let the good work
go on, it is greatly needed. Captain
Flood spent last season on Red river
cleaning out that stream. He thinks
it would be quite easy work cleaning
out Arkansas river and making it a
good navigable stream by throwing
the water into narrow channels where
it spreads over bars, and thus making
the volume of water do its own work
in cutting away the sand bars.

AN OLD ONE.
The Ship that Carried the Prince Of
Orange to England.

New York Journal of Commerce..
The ship that carried William III.
(Prince Of Orange) to England when
he went to take possession of the
monarchy had long life. 1t was
named the Princess Mary. and was
built on the Thames. 1t was more
than half a century old when Will
liam landed from her at Torbay,
November 4, 1858. She was eighty
feet three inches long, twenty-three
feet broad, double decked, with two
masts, square -rigged. Her earlier
name is said to have been Brill, but
this we believe is not established.
She was christened the Princess Mary
after the Kings consort, when she
was selected to bear the fortunes OF
the monarch to his new kingdom.
During the whole of his reign and
that of his successor, Queen Anne,
she was used as a royal pleasure yacht
and was kept in thorough order, some
Of the repairs being quite extensive
In l7l4, when the vessel came into
possession of George l., she ceased by
his order to form part of the royal es-
tablishment. About 1850. in a fit oil
economy, the government sold her to
the Messrs. Walters, of London, who
christened her the Betsy Gains, after
a fayorite West India belle Of that
name. After a score or more of years
in the West India trade, during which
she was known as a staunch vessel and
a fast sailer, she was sold to Messrs
Carlins, of London, who employed
her as a collier to take Goals from
Newcastle to the great metropolis
About the year 1925, more than two
centuries probably from the day she
was launched, she was purchased by
Mr.. George Finch Wilson, of South
Shields. On the 18th of February
1927, she was taking a cargo of Goals
from Shields to Hamburg, and struck
upon the Black Midderns, a danger.
GUS reef of rocks north of the mouth
of the Tyne, where a few days after.
ward she became total wreck. Hel
remains were eagerly purchased, anC
innumerable snuff boxes and othei
souvenirs we're made from the old oaE
that had been so indestructibl,
through more than 200 years.

the Cincinnati Commercial, who has
unusual facilities for finding out such
things, has at last learned where the
Casanaye fund was raised. To begin

the hush money; $1,000 was secured in
New York and $3.50 in Washington
besides what Hayes gave. Secretary
Sherman, it is officially told, gave
nothing, although he was anxious TO
do 50, and it was with great difficulty
he was restrained by his friends. They

There is at present much interest
displayed among the lovers of baseball
concerning the league contest. AL
most from the very start the Chicagos
took the lead. Recently, however,
this place has been wrested from them
by the Providence Club. The latter
now stands at the head Of the list in
the number Of games won, though only
one ahead of the Chicagos. Then,
again, the Bostons, present champions
of the league, are only one game be-
hind the Chioagos in games won.
While, in turn, the Bostous tie in
games lost with the Rnfalos and are
only five games ahead Of them in the
number won. Among these four
clubs, therefore, the contest is very

The last down-trip of the tow-b boat

capacity of the Mississippi river for
handling the surplus products of the

93,173 bushels wheat in bulk.

4O5 sacks salt.
s barrels oil.
20 barrels vinegar.
2a9 packages iron.
6 hogsheads tobacco.
600 barrels lime
2 barges ice.
The dead weight of the merchan-
disc enumerated above is about 5000
tons, and we presume there is about
100 tons of Ice in each barge, making
the total cargo 5000 tons.
To move this by rail would require
800 cars, or forty average freight
trains, which would cover some seven
miles Of track.
The total grain in bulk and sacks
amounts to 10000 bushels, weighing
1858 tons. The capacity Of this tow
was therefore about quarter Of a
million bushels of grain. Wien the
improvements now contemplated shall
have been made between here and St.

down tows of half million bushels
