Ohio and Mississippi Rivers on the
Decline.

CAIRO, Ills, March 1.-The stu
alton here has decidedly changed for
the better. The Ohio River shows a
fall of about three inches, and the
Mississippi fall of about four; but
it is thought that the rise reported
above will check the fall. The
levees still hold out firm, and every
thing looks brighter. Business is
picking up and the. general feeling is
that Cairo is safe. The weather is
clear and pleasant this morning.

Philosophers.

Philosophers are men and sometimes
women who know it's all done but
never do it,
Philosophers are sometimes those who
shut themselves up in libraries and
closets to study nature-out of books.
Philosophers are sometimes II ckoned
very wise; yet not wise enough to avoid
the dyspepsia.
Philosophers often grow old and
baldheaded at an early age. Can't bear
to have children about them. Not able,
as n rule, to harness horse. Can't
walk over mile, and afraid to eat after
nine o'clock III the evening. Not OF
much account in the corn or potato
field, but great in debating club.
Can't sail n boat, but use spectacles at
80. Learned in logic, but not much
help at fire.
Some philosophers haven't known
over fifty acquaintance for the last
thirty years. Out of which association
they study all mankind and write books
about the human race.
Other philosophers are discontinued
with everything that is and would be
satisfied only with what isn't.
Then there are philosophers who
even fail to recognize when man or
woman not talking philosophy at all
yet lives and practices it.
A woman philosopher after 80, wear
ing spectacles, unmarried and run to
seed, philosophically is fearful thing
to contemplate.
Some philosophers are never happy
unless writing or talking philosophy
and then all others who read or hear
their philosophy are unhappy.
A balky horse is more than match
for any philosopher in the United
States.
intellectually speaking, there are no
two worse swindled people after mar
riage than when male and female
philosopher think they fall in love and
court and marry each other.
The progeny OF philosophers, when
they have any, are rarely philosophi.
cal on coming of age. They know how
{ is themselves.

and $500 solar salt covers, with an
estimated capacity of the entire salt
producing territory of the State OF
$3.50, 600 barrels of salt per annum.

the Inspector regards the subject of
drainage as the most important one be-
fore the salt interest of Michigan, and
consideration of the fact that the
brine contains such "a quantity of
chloride of calcium, the Inspector be-
lieves that the time specified in the
law-fourteen days for the holding of
salt in bins fer drainage-is insufficient,
and he recommends such legislation as
will extend the time to thirty days,
believing that such change would ma
terially add to the standard of Michi-
gan salt, which, in the opinion of the
Inspector, never stood as high as it
does at the present time.

ACCORDING to the american Archl-
tect. q house built in Paris in the sew
enteenth century has been demolished
and it's materials sold on the ground,
realizing the great sum of S22O,O0O.
Part of this amount was obtained for
certain works of art discovered behind
the plastering and wainscoting OF the
present century, such as fine wood cary
ings and frescoes in good condition. A
hoard of 100000 francs in ancient coins
was also discovered during the demoli-
ton. But the greater part of the
price was obtained for the actual build
ING materials themselves, these having
been of the finest and most durable
sort. The lead roof covering brought

which was Of oak in perfect condition
and well seasoned by its long service,
was sold to cabinet-makers for great
prices. The marble staircases found
ready purchasers, and even the doors
and frames were gladly bought. One
wonders whether many houses built to-
day will make so fair showing if de-
molished some two centuries hence.

This tales Of little Master Quig.
Who. being little, wasn't big,
And many said, who understood.
That, being bad, he wasn't good,
Wh'n from his school he ran away
Most people thought he didn't stay;
And have heard, from those who knew,
When he ran asst, IL wa mt slow.
He always studied when compelled,
And always staid when he was ED,
And always SLEPT when not awake,
And left the thing he could not take
To 20 TO sea one day he planned,
And, being there, was not on land,
And 30 stuck on a bar-alasl
For, being stuck, he could not pass.
The dark night found him in fright
For, being dark, IL was not light.
The big waves rose and filled the boat,
And, being full, IL could not float
And 40, a. have heard IL said,
They found him In the morning dead,
And men of sense do still maintain
He never more was seen again.

The story of the water which got into
the hold of ship loaded with rice, and
so swelled the cargo that it burst the
vessel asunder, reminds the editor of
the Undertook Rough Notes of the
Captain of a North river sloop, who,
having hired new cook at Albany, set
him to cooking rice, which he said he
had done hundred times. Telling him
that he would find five pounds in the
locker, and cautioning him against cook
ing too much, the Captain went about
his business of loading his vessel with
pig-iron. In half an hour the new cook
rushed out exclaiming For Gods sake,
Captain, don't take on any more pig
iron; we'll have load of billed rice be-
fore night" The Captain rushed into
the cabin, where he found all the pots,
kettles, pals, pans, dishes and even two
washtubs full to OVERLOOKING with cooked
rice, which was also seething over the
top Of the kettle and falling off upon
the stove and the floor "What'n thun-
der you been doin'?" yelled the skipper
as he glanced around. How much rice
did you put in that pot?" Put the
whole of it, Cap" said the lad, land
