A twenty inch water pipe near the
corner of Union and Hernando broke
on Friday night last, and flooded the
street in that neighborhood. The
Water Company telegraphed to a
Northern city, had a pipe forwarded
in a hurry, worked all Saturday night
and had the water flowing through the
conductor in good style by yesterday
morning. This was quick dispatch,
and shows what men can do, If they
try.
A we'll known citizen made himself
conspicuous on Saturday at the Pea
body by attempting to save the con-
tents Of Judge Harrigan's room. He
rushed up stairs, four at a jump, went
to the room loaded himself, and when
about to make his exit at the front
door was stopped by a police officer,
with an empty band box under bis
arm. He had left Mrs. Harrigan's
valuable jewelry all lying about loose
in the room.
The handsome manner of managing
things at the Madison Square Theater,
New York, is fully illustrated in a
neat card received from that popular
place of amusement by mail this morn

Boat Bombarded.


The Anchor Line steamer City OF
Providence, which left here on Friday
last, destined to Vicksburg, was fired
into by parties at Apperson's lower
landing, below Helena. 1t appears
that after the boat had backed out she
was hailed to return to the landing
again. To an inquiry from the boat
as to what was wanted, the reply was
returned that they wanted a drink.
The boat turned around to go down
the river, with a parting salute Of
some five or six shots from parties at
the landing. No one was hurt or
arrested as far as heard.

of 3, 993. 957 arrived there in ships built
and owned in Great Britain, being 4O7, 500
tons more than the whole tonnage of
British vessels entering at Liverpool dur.

the American mercantile marine is dis.

more proves this. The New York Tribune
says upon this: "The facts are the less

That is very silly talk. 1t is certain that
the tariff has been largely instrumental in
destroying our mercantile marine, and it is
equally certain that so long as that tariff
is maintained our mercantile marine can
never be restored. The Tribune is trying
to deny the force of facts which every stu
dent of political economy knows to be
potent, and in SO doing it is helping to
prolong the discreditable and unsatisfactory
condition into which our mercantile marine
has been forced by perverse and imbecile
legislation.

The periodieity of Sitting Bull has by
this time been very fully demonstrated.
His regular period for surrendering having
come round again, he has performed the
ceremony, and will no doubt remain the
guest OF the Government until he has re-
stored the health of himself and his band
accumulated ammunition and stores for
another campaign, and fattened his ponies.
At present he is sullen and insolent. 1t is
true that he has never been anything else,
but it is at least interesting to know that
his character has undergone no violent
changes. Sitting Bull is very intelligent

apportioned his time between fighting the

Uses OF CHARCOAL laid fiat,
while cold, on burn, causes the pain to

hour, the burn seems almost healed, when
it is superficial. And charcoal is valuable
for many other purposes. Tainted meat,
surrounded with it, is sweetened strewn
over heaps of decomposed pelts, or dead
animals, it prevents an unpleasant odor.
Foul water is purified by it. 1t is a great
disinfectant, and sweetens the air if placed

so very porous i'll its minute inte-
rior it absorbs and condenses gases
most readily. One cubic inch of fresh
charcoal will absorb nearly 100 of gaseous
ammonia. Charcoal forms an unrivaled
poultice for malignant wounds and sores,
often corroding away dead flesh, reducing
it one.quarter in six hours. In cases Of
what we call proud flesh it is invaluable.
