THE MISSISSIPPI.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-It is entirely
probable that the Senate Committee on
the Improvement of the the Mississippi
river and it's tributaries will this week take
important action. The duty of preparing
bill has been referred to a sub committee
consisting of Frye, Cockrell and jackson.
meeting of the full committee will be
held to morrow. It can be stated with
reasonable certainty that the committee
will soon report bill providing liberal
appropriation for the Mississippi, to be ex-
pended under the supervision of the river
commissioner 1t is entirely probable that
the bill will contain a provision declaring
in substance that no part of the appropria-
ton shall be used in the repair or construc-
ton of levees for the purpose Of prevent
ing injury to the lands by overflow or for
any other purpose whatever, except as q
means of deepening or improving the
channel of the river. This is the provision
attached to the appropriation for the cur
rent fiscal year. The senate bill will be
pushed as separate measure and it will
be debated and
PASSED IN IT'S MERITS.
This new feature of the programme is
important, for the action of the Senate
will undoubtedly have more or less inf1u-
ence upon the House. The Mississippi
river improvement question is rapidly
coming to the front In both branches of
congress. 1t is idle to disguise the fact
that the enemies of the river are doing
considerable harm and are preparing for
active opposition to sustaining the COM
mission. Cowden and his crowd of outlet |
advocates are making a bitter fight. They |
are even going as far as to make personal
attacks on individual members of the com
mission.

Rachel and she small Boy.

Lucy Hooper writes as follows from Paris:
I met recently at an afternoon reception q
French gentleman who related to me the par
~ticulars of how, when quite q small boy, he
went to see the great Rachel act. De was a
great friend of her brothers and used some
times to go to her house, when one day she
said, patting his cheek:
well, little fellow, would you not like TO
come and see me act some day. u course
the answer to this query was an eager affirm
alive. and that very evening be and his COM
rade found themselves installed in one OF
those boxes called by the French the Oges
snfsrnoles, namely. the boxes situated inside
ut the pruscen,um and the curtain, and liter
ally upon the stage. The play was "Phedre,"
and the child sat entranced and bewlldered
while that wonderful panorama OF passion
was unfolded before him. When the curtain
fell on the last act, the PROSTATE Phedre did
not rise, but four men coming from behind
the scenes, enveloped her in a large, soft
blanket, and bore her quickly from the stage.
The boy, in an ecstacy of excitement and
terror. half inclined to believe the whole
tragedy a reality, slipped hastily from his
place and followed the men till they had laid
their burden on a large sofa in Rachel's
d~ressing-room.
When the great actress opened her eyes
she found her child adlnirer before her.
weeping and ringing his hands; 'Oh, Mad
emciselle Rachel" ne sobbed, do grant me
lust one favor" .'And what is that my liz
lie man?' .'Never act again-it is too
dreadful" Probably in all her brilliant ca
reer Rachel bad never received a more gen
nine or appryciative token Of admiration.

Sleeping Rooms.

AS at least one-third of our lives is passed
in our beds, their arrangement and furnish
ing is a matter of no small importance. The
new steel spring bed is of course the bed of
the future. Fulfills every intention of fexi,
bility, it is durable; it goes with the bedstead
as an actual part of it, and it can never be q
nest or receptacle of contagion or impurity
On the subject of bed clothes the points that
have most to be enforced are that heavy bed
clothing is always a mistake, and that weight
in no true sense means warmth. The light
down quilts or coyerlets which are coming
into general use are the greatest improve
ments that have been made in our time in re-
gard to bed clothes. One of these quilts
takes we'll the place of two blankets, and
they cause much less fatigue. from weight,
than layer upon layer of blanket covering.
The clothing must be regulated according to
the needs of each individual; the body under
the clothes must neither be too cold or too
hot; but it is better to sleep with two little
than too much clothing. The position of
the he'd in the bedroom is of moment. The
foot of the bed to the fire place is the best
when it can be carried out. The
bed should be away from the door, SO that
the door does not open upon it, and should
never, if it can be helped, be between the
door and fire. If the head of the bed can be
placed to the east, SO that the body lies in the
line of the earth's motion, l think it is the
best position for the sleeper. The furniture
Of the bedroom, other than the bed, should
be Of the simplest kind. The chairs should
be uncovered, and free from stufang of WOOL
en- or other material; the wardrobe should
have closely fitting doors; the utensils should
have closely fitting covers; and everything
that can in any way gather dust should be
carefully excluded.

This matter has been tried over and over

And around me the dark waters rolled,
The sands that kirsed he bright cry stalls
Were u a,kling with atoms IF god;
The waves, as they passed on t cir journey.
Seemed tlItd with the spirit of woe,
Yel Onward they passed to he danger

The sands. as each wave departed,
Seemed purer than ever before,
And soon a bright light Of glory
Cleaned hither and on long the shore.

Then turned to tie glittering god,
Then watched he dark waves a. they journeyed
Swiftly on, on th>ir journey untold.
The river, SO dark and foreboding,
So full of the spirit of woe,
Seemed narrow to grow In the cleaning,
AS it sped in the rapids below;
The banks, az they reached toward each other,
Grew bright with a glory untold,
And as the last wave departed
United their pathways OF gold.
Every trsce of the dark waves had vanished,
But family the evening breeze
Stu.e through the damp chambers of darkness,
Like autumn winds moan through the trees.
It told of dark ROCKS fan below me,
Where many a wreck could be seen;
And, Ohl / was happy in knowing

So / stepped On that pathaa y of beauty,
The d .rk jagged rocks lay behi d,

Pressed it's way through the soft evening air,

4 panic occurred the other day IN a
show at Yeovil Fair, in England. An
African was exhibited as specimen OF
the most savage people in the world,
and when he had in his hand an assegai,
and appeared 20 be forcing his way
through the bars which divided him
from the spectators TO attack them,
they suddenly rushed out Of the place
in a state OF terror. breaking down the
front woodwork of the booth, smashing
the musical instruments, and doing
other damage. The assegai perform
ance was subsequently suspended.

her husband, broken. down sot, when
he leaped wildly from the bed, brand
ished huge knife. which he had SUR
reptitiously obtained, and threw her on
the floor, declaring that he was divinely

desperate fight, in which the woman
held fast to his hands with all her
might, and he was only able to iniliet a
few small cuts. just as her strength
was failing, her screams brought help
from several OF the neighbors. His
assault seemed to them SO atrocious

The stock market to-day presented nothing in the

was the steady support given 20 Lake Shore stock

Pacific also was specially weak and the Wabashes,
