who held the position Of "friend" to
Jennie, came into her saloon to get q
drink. Jennie objected to his drink
ing, but he proceeded to fill up the glass,
when she took up a position at the end
Of the bar, and told him If he violated
his promise and drank the liquor, he
would get behind the bar with

paid no attention to the threat, raised
the glass to his lips, and while drinking
Jennie pulled a pistol from her pocket,
placed it to her temple and fired. She
fell dead at the end Of her bar, and in

struck, stepped over her PROSTATE form.

AN END TO SORROW:
1 love Q most dearly, darling,
Although you may think me mad;
Were It not for that; oh, believe me
I shouldn't be half so sad.
But my love it burns in my bosom,
And courses red hot in my veins;
And do what I will, it bubbles
And runs DER into my strains.
When your eyes I see wet with weep
ing,
And your fair cheeks wan with care,
l writhe like a serpant in torture
With sorrow l scarce can bear.
Why should you be born to sadness,
When others can laugh and glowg
But, darling, braid up your tresses,
1t shall not always be 50.

River News.

River News.
The river since our last report has
been slowly but steadily declining, and
has thus far fallen about four inches.
In our opinion it will not be long be-
fore we will have sfboom" in the
Ouachita. There was a six inch rise in
the Arkansas at Little Rock Tuesday,
which is an indication that the Qua
chita is rising at Camden.
At last accounts the Rosa B. was
still at the mouth of Old river, waiting
for rise. We learn that she is drawing
~ feet she being heavily laden.
The D. Stein, the first steamboat to
land at the Monroe wharf since the
10th of September, arrived at o'clock
Tuesday morning from below, and re-
turned in the evening of the same day
with about 125 bales cotton, all of
which she received here at e per bale
to New Orleans. The Little Bob, fol-
lowing close in the wake of the Stein,
arrived at p. m. the same day, dis
charging some freight here. She left
on her return Wednesday morning
with about 200 bales cotton.
The Wilson came into Black river
on her last trip, and it is thought that
she will be able to reach Trinity or
Harrisonburg this trip. The lower
Mississippi was rising when the Wilson
came over the ssgut."
Capt. J. w. Blanks writes to parties
in New Orleans, under date of the
9th ult., as follows: 81 think I have
the best poor mans boat that has been
built since or even before the war.
She will do for either the Memphis,
Greenville or Vicksburg trades, and
neither last nor least, the Ouachita.
She will carry fully $500 bales, with
her guards out of the water, and for
room she cannot be beat. She has a
larger forecastle than the Robt. E. Lee.
I think she will be ready to leave in
three weeks, as Dumont is certain he
will be through by that time" Capt.
Blanks writes, among other things
about the boat, that he has II inch
pipe running all around the boiler
deck, connected with the doctor, and
with which he can flood with water
any part of the upper works in short
order.
Will. 8. Hays, of "Mollie Darling''
fame, and who is the ssriparian hash
chopper of the Louisville Courier
Journal, says that he knows more
about the Ohio river than does old
Tice about falling stars. He predicts
| the biggest kind of rise in that rive,
| by the 18th inst.
The roustabouts are causing the
steamboats, great deal of trouble and
expense. They demand $50 per month
which the steamboats, must pay OF
they will not bulge an inch. These
'trousters" evidently want no Kansas
! sshoney in their'n."
