Billy Smithers says we dare not intimate
that he don't wear silk undershirts. We
never said, or even thought, anything about
his underwear; in fact, since we come TO
thisk about i, we never accused him of
wearing any at all. And then, again, what
has silk understands got to do with the con-
stitutonality of appropriation bills, with or
without riders" How long is he in for,
anyhow?

We learn from the officers of the Osceola
Belle that the storm Saturday evening ex-
tended up and down the river, doing con-
siderable damage at various points. Thirty
miles above here it was quite severe. The
new saw-mill steamer, Jennie Julia, Captain
George Head, lying at the mouth of Old

st. Louis Tirses-Jomnal, Sunday: "The
iron steamer Charles ?. Chouteau has proved
a great success, and it is quite probable that
other boats of the same pattern and material
will be built In the immediate future. One
great advantage which iron hulls possess over
wooden, is that they never rot. There is an
iron boat now running on one of the eastern
rivers that is thirty-fve years old, and there
is nothing about her to indicate that she will
not be in the trade twenty-five years from
now. It was urged at one time that iron
bulls would not stand the thumps and knocks
which fall to the lot of boats navigating the
MissisaipSi but an experience of two seasons
with the Chouteau has proved that iron meets
all the requirements IN this respect Indeed,
the government engineers have become salts
fed of this fact, and are building at this time
four small iron crafts at the western boat
yard at Caronaelet The time is coming
when bulk grain barRss will be built OF iron.
