THE RIVER

The C.. K. Peck and Fontenelle reached
Sioux City Thursday.
The General Meade will arrive some time
tomorrow from above.
The Red Cloud was advertised to leave
Bismarck to-day for St. Louis. She will
not return to the upper Missouri again this
season.
The Dacotah will positively leave for St.
Louis at daylight tomorrow morning. At
Plattsmouth she will take on 5000 sacks Of
-four for St. Louis.
The Fontenelle is loading at Sioux City
for Fort Pierre, and part of her load consists
of 10000 bushels of corn, which she took
on at Decatur, Iowa.
The river still continues to cut away the
bank at Covington. On Wednesday it cut a
distance of sixty feet back in two hours, and
the Journal says the entire end of w. H.
Knowles house was undermined before it
could be started back from the river, and
was saved by a very small majority.
The steamer Nellie Peck, VIM. Simms,
master, and VIM. Gillian, clerk, arrived at

Commodore Kountz has filed a complaint
in the district court of Ramsey county, Min
nesota, in the name Of his daughters: Carrie
v. Jones and Katie P. Kountz, against A.
H. Wilder and John A. Charles. Commo.
dore Kountz alleges that at St. Louis, about
the 7th of September, 1876, the defendants
purchased the steamers General Meade
Peninah and Fontenelle, the plaintiffs re-
tanning two-ffths interest in the Peninah
and Meade and one-6fth interest in the
Fontinelle, the plaintiffs thereby becoming
joint owners in said boats, the corporation
agreeing to transact a general steamboat
business during the years 1876, 1877, and
1878, at the close of which latter year the
business terminated, as per stipulations in
the said agreement, and has not since been
revived. The defendants accounted to the
plaintiffs for the business of the season OF
1876, but have entirely failed to do 60 70,
the years 1877 and 1873, during which
time, there accrued to the defendants as mel

of which amount more than $4,000 is dut

1t is source Of consolation, how

Know that this was not done by our

whether or not. the Convention about

this injustice from the escutcheon of
Louisiana's history, and restore the

who pushes forward this work will
do allastiEg service to his country,

4 Corpse,s Remarkable PRESERVATION.

Twenty-Five years ago Mrs. Theodore
Leonard, the first wife of Theodore
Leonard, of Milwaukee, Wis, died and
WAS buried in he East Catholic Burial
Ground of that city. The casket 6sed
was an iron one with perfected glas,
plate over the face and bust Mr.. Leon
ard recently found it advisable to re.
move the remains of his wife and her
father, buried by her side, from the
East to the West Catholic Cemetery.
and recently workmen opened the
grave, The remains of the father in
tered only twelve years ago, were found
to have actually crumbled into dust,
but to the intense establishment of Mr..
Leonard and those engaged in the dis.
interment, the remains of the lady were
found to be unchanged The face and
form were exactly as they had been
when first committed to the earth, not Il
lineament shrunken or sunk, and even
the garments in which she had been
buried remained untouched by time
Those who saw the dead lady's face
through the glass; the casket say that
any one who knew her in life would
have recognized her instantly. The re-
mains were placed ia their new rest
ing-place.
Strange as this case is, it is not alone !;
recent Disbursements in an old New
York cemetery developed the fact that
several bodies had been remarkably
preserved, and in one case, that of a
man, the hair and finger-nails had
grown to an extraordinary length.

CHASTITY Relics of Waterloo.

For the truth of the incident related
below have the most possible proof /:
George Shaw, brave Englishman, when
surrounded on the fed at Waterloo by
number of the enemy, made gallant
struggle for existence and fought his
way back to his comrades over the dead
bodies of dozen Frenchmen whom he
had slain AS reward for his bravery,
Wellington sent for the soldier, and in
the course of his conversation with him,
gave him permission to take home with
him whatever relic he chose from the
battlefield. Shaw's choice was the
skeleton of French General, killed in
the action. The CHASTITY trophy was
safely transported to England and hung
in the soldiers closet at Hanley and
Staffordshire, England, till he came to
regard it is nuisance and disposed of
it TO Samuel Bullock. manufacturer of
china. As bones form large proportion
of the ingredients from which English
china is made, it occurred to the manu-
facturer that the remains of the poor
General would look much better made
up in some handsome ornament than
dangling from peg in an obscure
closet; and in accordance with this in
spiration, the French General was
ground down, and, in due time, was
metamorphosed into teacups and sauc-
ers in which condition he adorns to
this day the museum at Hawley, appro-
priately inscribed with the history of
his transformation. 1t happened one
day that Marshal Soult visited the mu-
scum, and his attention was attracted
by the china, which has bright pink
tint and is ornamented with flowers.
But when his eye rested upon the label,
which enabled him to recognize in the
collection the remains of one of his
former generals, the marshal was deeply
shocked; and, g wrapping his martial
cloak around him." walked Indignantly
away. He did not forget to inform
Napoleon, then at St. Helena, of the
indignity which had been offered 10 the
memory of their departed countryman.
1t is no indignity," guoth Napoleon;
"what more pleasing disposition can
there be of ones bones after death than
to be made into cups to be constantly
in use, and placed between the rosy lips
of ladies? The thought is delightfulp
This was an aspect of the case which
had not occurred to the prosaic marshal
but he was forced to content himself
with if. Er

SHOW Long Have l to Live -

II is not every one who asks himself
this question, because, strangely enough
it is the belief of most persons that
their lives will be exceptionally lengthy.
However, life assurances companies are
aware of the credulous weakness Of those
whose lives they assure, and have ex-
pectancy of life for their own guidance,
which are carefully referred to before a
policy is granted. The following is one
of these well authenticated tables in
use among London assurance companies,
showing the average length of life at
various ages, In the first column we
have the present ages of persons of aver
age health, and in the second column we
are enabled to peep, as it were, behind
the scenes of an assurance Office, and
gather from their table the number of
years they will give us to live. This
table has been the result of careful cal
eulatiop, and seldom proves misleading
OF course sudden and premature deaths,
as well as lives unusually extended, oe-
cur, but tits table of the average ex-
pectancy of lite of an ordinary man or
woman:
