GENERAL NEWS.

Business fair.
Captain ]. Frank Hicks is in the city.
Weather unsettled-kinder now-y ou-see-it,
now-you-don't.
Receipts by river yesterday, bales cotton
and SO sacks seed.
The Katie Hooper cleared last evening for
Arkansas river with good trip.
The Hard Cash departed last evening for
White river on time, with a fair trip.
Signal service report: River 81 feet z
inches-decline inches during the "a hours
ending l :0S pm, yesterday.
Captain G. F. Huls, an old river clerk and
former resident of this city, was in town
yesterday, and leaves by rail this morning
for st. Louis.
The Henry Brown, with a tow of empty
coal barges, arrived last evening from New
Orleans, on her way to the Ohio river. She
cleaned out here.
The Henry Lowry and barges, from st.
Louis, passed down yesterday for New Or.
leans. She dropped barge loaded with
grain for this place.
Looking up the river yesterday afternoon
we thought we discovered a steamboat on
fire, but close observation proved that we
were labUring under delusion. 1t was the
"new" tug Dssoto, the smokestack being in
solid crimson colors, looking as bright as
buuUtdm one lOOh6Q dS pretty DIS
bird, her cabin in pure white, with red lines
Captain Morris McNeely no doubt feels
proud of the splendid appearance of his tug
since she was rejuvenated.s The blue-eyed
deckhand suggests that she was painted red
so much, in order that people would know
she is always ready. We killed him with
club-the sure fate of any one who perpe-
trates such jokes. The Dssoto has been one
OF the best and most serviceable harbor tugs
In thnsa wa and tUa hnna har
career may be extended good long time.
The Cincinnati Times Star, of Saturday, tells
the following: "a good one is told about
the Grand Isle and Captain Kranz. Before
leaving here Thursday evening, a quantity
OF coal was placed on board and caused her
to take some water into her hold over the
guards. The mate and the engineer became
alarmed, and, fearing that che was about to
sink, get her syphon at work. According to
regulations one lection of the syphon's con-
nections enters the hold and the other the
river, the former being a protection against
sinking and the latter against fire. In his
haste the engineer opened the valve of the
| river connection, and the syphon worked
away for dear life In the meantime the
| coal was shifted and the boat trimmed go
that no more water could enter the hold. The
anxious officers watched the stream of water
| thrown out by the syphon for full two hours,
| and were not a little worried because the
water in the hold failed to show any dimi-
mutton. In this dilemma Captain Norwood
Mcclellan was hurriedly summoned, and
that gentleman, who is a practical engineer,
Immediately discovered where the trouble
lay. The mistake was remedied and in a
| few minutes the boat was free from water.
When Captain Kranz learned what was the
| matter, he Just threw up his hands and
shouted: Mine Got! da. engineer fellow
will pump der Mississippi river dry before 1
gets to New Orleans"

Hope Ahead.

A committee of stockholders who
waited upon disappointment of a
California mine to ask why in the
blazes the said mine hadn't panned
out anything but assessments, were
graciously received, invited to be
seated, and the official explained:
Gentleman, you are all aware OF
the fact that we had scarcely begun
work when the mouth of our mine
was blocked by a land slide. That
put us back month. >"
They nodded their remembrance.
"Then we had Just got ir shape to
take out I, 900 tons of ore, worth 81
600 per ton, when the mine caved
in. You recall it %
They did.
"Once more we bent ourselves to
the burden of reaping $500 for every
$40 invested, when the mine was
flooded by subterranean river"
That was true also.
''Then we had just got the water
out when we discovered that our
mine was located on another mans
claim. We had him shot to pre-
vent trouble, and OF ce more we
were about to declare dividend of
200 per cent. when the dead mans
heirs put in an appearance. There
were three of them. We echased one
over the range. had another hung
by the vigilance committee, and l
am happy to inform you that 1
have four men out after the other,
and am every hour expecting to hear
that he has tumbled OF elm. Gen.
tlemen there is hope ahead-golden
hope. Please come up and drink
with me after which there will be

LONG BRANCH, March, 1S.-The
beautiful Garfield memorial window
which was placed in st. James
Episcopal Church on Wednesday
last, is in commemoration of the
fact that it was in this sanctuary
that the late President worshipped
on the Sunday previous to his being
shot, June 26. He was the guest of
General A. S. Webb, of New York
and with ex-Postmaster- General
James, he occupied his pew on that
Sabbath. The beautiful tribute is
the idea of Mrs. Webb, who thought
that a memorial window would be a
fitting testimonial to the high place
President Garfield held in the es-
TEEN and sympathy of the Long
Branch people after his long days of
suffering and final death there. Mrs.
Webb found no difficulty in raising
the amount necessary for the win
dow from her friends and the men,
bers of the st. James Church. The
window is Gothic arch in shape,
and is the size of the other widows,
6 feet high and 2 feet wide. 1t is Of
waved antique Ventian glass, sur
rounded by a narrow band of ruby
antique glass, and has medallion
portrait Of Garfield in the centre.
The portrait is enlarged from Saro-
ny's profile photograph, and is sur
sounded by a wreath of laurel and
palm, the symbols of victory and
peace. The knot by which the
wreath is fastened below the medal
lion is of opalescent yellow glass,
and the entire portrait and wreath
are set in field of rich. shaded blue,
in which the 13 original States are
represented by as many opalescent
stars. On n table representing an
tique mural brass, below the me-
dallion and its field of blue, the in
scription is placed. 1t reads 'In
memory of James A. Garfield. June
26, 1881" The upper and lower de-
signs of the widow are separated by
an arche6 band of rich rendels ex-
tending across the base of the arch.
Within the point of the arch above
are cross and crown set in a point
ed oval field of rich ruby antique
glass, which symbolic faith and re-
ward. The oval is surrounded on
either side and below by purple pas
sion flowers, whose foliage is taste
fully arranged about the design
above. The passion flowers are
symbols of the martyrdom which
faith in the crosses sustained and the
crown has rewarded, and their pur.
pie harmonizes with the ruby and
gold above them. The whole effect
of the window is strikingly rich and
impressive. The entire amount of
the money raised by Mrs. Webb not
having been used for the window, a
silver plate viii be purchased to be
suitably inscribed and placed upon
the pew occupied by the President
on the Sunday before he was shot.

It was a soft and bamly night in
spring; the burning sunset was
hanging its golden tapestries across
the mellow west, and the electric
light was just beginning to fix
and spit along the main streets
when Elder Snoozer was sitting in
the elegant boudoir If Widow Smith,
whose rich brown es.r aud desirable
real estate penetrated the bachelors
inmost thoughts. Can you, Sarah, /"
he said, throwing his enormous hand
upon her shoulder, on the further
side, acome to my home in the Sec
ond ward. where I will be your
slave?r
"Will that squint eyed first wife
of yours be made to stand around
when come ?"
"When your dulcet voice sounds
through the ancestral halls Hannah
will go to the coal bin. She will
have about FIVE hours Of sleep day
and work for you the balance of the
time"
Inside of the week they passed
through the Endowment House,
when Elder Wells made them one.
Old Snoozer took in fine piece Of
real estate with good looking wo-
man and was happy. Two years
passed, and the once beautiful Sa-
rah, bending over the washtub and
lamming the endowment robe ofthe
third wife viciously against a tree
until the suds falling over the tender
flowers gave them new life in the
hot July sun, is the sort of picture
the passing bullwhacker contempla-
tes.
"How do you like the new deal?"
ask the first wife, who is chopping
wood hard by. And the language
of wife No. 2 is not fit to print in
family newspaper.-SaH Lake Trft-
