River News.

The bottom seems to have dropped
out of the river. During tho past
week it has fallen no less than ten feet,
and is now falling at the rate of about
three fourths Of an inch an hour. We
think through navigation will be inn
practicable by the Goth of this month
at the latest. AS soon as the river gets
too low to admit the Wilson coming to
this point, the Little Bob b. will con-
meet with her.
The John Wilson arrived about 8
a. m. Sunday with a fair trip and left
on her return shortly before daylight
Monday.
The Little Bob B. left for above
Monday evening. Newport is as high
as she can get. There's not enough
water in the river at Camden to quench
the thirst of an angry Temperance
lecturer.
The Willie left for the Barthol-
omew at 10 p. m. Monday. She will
probably be laid up on her return I'M
til there is more water.
The Jimmie Baker left for New Or
leans last Friday morning. For what
purpose she has gone there we know
not, but presume that it is to be in
spected.
The John Wilson left New Orleans
Wednesday, is due here tomorrow,
and will leave on her return Sunday.

Ben Cornwel1 will be found in the

Two fatboats from near Baxter,

The following FROM the Cincinnati
Commercial of the Goth ult., explains
itself:
"Capt. Dan II. Morton has closed a
contract with the Ouachita River
Transportation Company, Fred A.
Blanks president, for the building of
sidewheel steamer 26O feet long, 40
feet beam, with z foot hold, and. fine
full length cabin, to be completed by
Nov. 1st., with entirely new machin-
cry by G. T. Dumont, Esq, consisting
of double flue boilers % feet long, AZ
inches in diameter, with 8 foot stroke,
with ii feet length of buckets, and
capacity for 5000 bales cotton. Work
has already been commenced on the
hull and machinery. Mr.. G. II.
Dumont leaves for Cleveland to-day,
and will return to Cincinnati on Satur-
day"
According to this, the new boat will
be 80 feet longer, and have one foot
more stroke, than the Ouachita Belle;
but we incline to the opinion that her
depth of hold e feet) is exaggerated,
and her carrying capacity over esti-
mated.

In reply to an attorney (Mr.
Boatner) who asked for an extension
of time in filing his brief until Mon
day, because the printers could not
have the brief printed before that time,
Chief Justice Manning said that the
attorney ought to hurry up and get
his case in before the Judges got tired.
Judge, please be seated.
You have written briefs, we know,
and have had clients, of course. Did
it ever happen in your practice that
an attorney could not write a brief, and
good one, until the law of compen-
sation was applied? This, now, is
our Court and we are on the Bench.
What can poor country lawyer do,
when his client is dilatory? What
did you do, Judge, when the trans
cript was in the hands of the other
attorney, and he kept it for weeks :?
AIlu yON CtOI AdNO a Ct1oo "AcIo yOu
called upon at the last moment and were
expected to do the work of 40
horse steam engine in an hour? You
say, yes.
Well, Judge, you were never prin-
ter. Printers tire as we'll as law
yers and judges-though we cannot see
exactly why a lawyer should tire, or a
judge either, except for his listening at
his brethren's sschin music" And the
Court, Judge, is not without still
small voice itself, and can jaw back
with volubility, and yet if we are not
and determine. We pulled through
the Court some twenty years ago.
Judge Merrick, you will remember,
was Chief Justice then, and Maj. Bry
for ten dollars handed us a small piece
Of paper we yet have. Ives, Peter, I
will hand in some copy in moment.]
When interrupted we were speaking
about lawyers, and it is a fruitful
theme. We got among them, prac-
ticed about six months, never got a
fee, and quit. The profession was too
onerous. Our capacity for lying was
slim, and we emerged as a newspaper
editor. Possibly, if we had "hilt on"
we might have been the leading law
yer of the State. There is no telling,
Judge, what a lawyer may come
to--:--except that he is never hung,
nor goes to the penitentiary.
But, in the matter of briefs, Judge,
you may not know the ways of aU the
attorneys as we'll as we do.
And, possibly, Judge, printer can
get tired, too. You may not know
these poor ragamuffins, but it is fact
that they make some great men out of
monstrous poor material. You have
read briefs in manuscript, 1.-THE printer
is now at our elbow,1 and you may
have observed that the manuscript is
written all over-up the page, along
the margin, a piece pasted on, no
punctuation, no capitals, no grammar
no nothing. We can say we have
seen something of this nature even in
the matured and able decisions of the
Supreme Court. Let us be understood
it is not every attorney, no more
than a Judge who can furnish a prin-
ter with correct copy. We do not ex-
pect it. But we must enter a plea for
the printer. He is, it may be, a Bohe-
milan /; he is, we know, man of ear
nest thought upon whose capacity too
many rear their superstructurcs. He

The Consul General Of Brazil, in
writing to the Hon. VIM Ward, from
Rio de Janeiro, under recent date, has
this to say concerning the steamships
city of Para and City of Rio do Janeir",
built and placsd on the line between
New York and Brazil, by John Roach
& Son, for the purpose of establishing
trade for American built ships:
"Parties here who are interested in
British steamers, and also the repre-
senta.ives Of Baltimore houses, seem to
be working together to kill off Roach's
American line. The City Of Para went
out in very light tim, because the op-
position took coffee freights at ruinously
low rates, and now it appears probable
that tho steamer City of Rio de Janeirc
will either have to accept 20 cents a
bag or 20 empty. A British steamer
has Just sailed from New York with
81, $3.50 bags, another is loading for New
Orleans, aud a German steamer has
Just been loaded for New York. Since
tho last steamer, City Of Para, left
there, over 40, 900 bags of coffee have
been shipped to the United States, a
large amount for the season, and under
the circumstances. The Roach linz
has to Contend against thesecret enmily

Foreign Trade.

Aspaaial despatch from Washington
says: General Nimm0's third monthly
statement for the current fiscal yea
shows that in September the exports o
the United States exceeded the imports
by $40, coo, 0S7, this being also Amos
the identical figure for the month OF Sep
TENDER q year ago. For the whole yea
ending September so the United State
shipped to foreign countries 1886, SAG
277 worth OF her products in excess Of
the value Of goods imported. For the
previous year, namely, the twelve
months ending September 30, 1878, this
difference was little larger, the excess
of exports being 1924, 9l3,337.
The opinion is entertained her"
moug some who are regarded as good
authority on such matters that the re-
caipts of gold from Europe, between
this time and the LIST of January, will
be over 1926 900, 600, aud may possibly
reach $30,OC0,00o. The imports of coin
and bullion (mostly gold for septatns
Dor were $2S, $685. 900.
