RIVER DISASTER.
Steamer Centennial Sunk Yes
terday 100 Miles Above
this City.

The steamer Centennial, Captain VIM.
Burke, destined from St. Louis to New
Orleans. hit log and sunk in nine feet
Of water yesterday afternoon about five
o'clock above HAile's Point, 100 mil
north of this city. The boat had large
cargo of freight, of which some 1000 bbls
of -four and other goods were in the
hold and will be seriously damaged. The
passengers of the sunken vessel were
taken off during last night by the Ste.
Genevieve and arrived in this city at 1OK
this forenoon. TheCentennial was draw
ing 6H feet of water at the time of the
accident and she also had barge in tow.
The obstruction hit was log lying close
to the shore, directly in the channel, and
it tore hole in the bottom of the boat
some thirty feet long. The steamer De
Smet hit the same log yesterday as she
passed down, but escaped other injury
than that OF breaking hog chain. The
Centennial lies rallied straight, with about
nine feet Of water at the stern and seven
feet forward and she still rests on the log
which caused her to fll. It is expected
that the wrecking steamer T. F. Eckert
now in port will go to the assistance of
the sunken boat during this forenoon.
The freight stored on the Centennials
main deck, it is thought, will escape dam
age, as the water did not cover those
decks at any point except in the engine
room.

Judge BIach's shirts.
Ben Perley Poor


Judge Black was very absent mind~
ed. Once, when he was coming to
Washington, Mrs. Black said to him.
II want you to promise me that you
will put on a clean shirt every morn
ing, and | have put six into your trunk.
Please do, and don't let me see in
Washington papers illusions to your
dirty linen" The Judge promised
and left, and in week returned. At
ter speaking to his wife he went into
his Office, where he was soon absorbed
in studying case. After while in
came Mrs Black. why, Judge"
said she, what have you done with
the shirts you took to Washington"
Done with the shirts2" exclaimed the
Judge abstractedly. "Yes, the shirtsl"
said the matron. "0hl" replied the
Judge, why, put on clean one every
day, as promised you | would. "Yes,
Judge, but what did you do with those
you took Off you have not brought a
siagle one back" The truth Just
then flashed on the judges mind, and
an examination disclosed the fact that
the old gentleman had put on a clean
shirt every morning over those which
he already wore.

A Texas Wife.
Texas sihinRs.


The best natured woman in the
United States lives in Austin. She
has been married a number of years
TO man named Ferguson, but she and
her husband have never had q quarrel
yet, and he has frequently boasted that
it is utterly impossible to make her
angry. Ferguson made several des-
perate attempts to see if he ceuld not
exasperate her to look cross or scowl
at him, merely to crafty his curiosity,
but the more outrageous he acted the
more affable and loving she behaved.
Last week he was talking to friend
about what a hard time he had trying
to find out if his wife had q temper.
The friend offered to bet $50 that If
Ferguson we're to 20 home drunk,
raise q row, and pull the table.cloth
full Of dishes off the table, she would
show some signs Of annoyance. Fergu.
son said he didn't want to rob friend
of his money, for he knew he would
win but they at last made the bet OF
$50, the friend to hide in the front
yard and watch the proceedings Of the
convention through the window.
Ferguson came home late, and ap-
parently fighting drunk. She met him
at the, gate, kissed him, and assisted
his tottering steps to the house. He
sat hard down in the middle Of the
floor and howled out:
"Confound your ugly picture, what
did you mean by pulling that chair
from under me
70, hope you didn't hurt yourself
1t was my awkwardness, but I'll try
and not do It again" and she helped
him to his feet, although she had
nothing in the world to do with his
falling. .'ta.'.i
He then sat down on the sofa, and
sliding off on the floor abused her like
a pickpocket for lifting up the other
end Of the sofa, all Of which she took
good naturedly, and finally she led him
to the supyer table. He threw q plate
at her but she did as if she had not
n0ticed it, and asked him if he would
take tea or coffee. Then the brute
seized the table cloth and sat down on
the floor, pulling the dishes and every
thing else over with him in one grand
crash.
What did this noble woman do2 Do
you suppose she grumbled and talked
about going home to her mother, or
that she sulked and poutedP Not a
bit Of itH With pleasant smile, she
said:
why, George, that's q new idea
amt it2 We have been married ten
years, and have never yet eaten ouI
supper on the floor. Won't it be fun
Just like those picnics we used 10 70 Il
before we got married" " and then this
angelic woman deliberately sat dowr
on the Aoor alongside the wretch, ar
ranged the dishes, and fixed him up I
nice supper.
This broke George all up. He owned
up he vas only foolin' her, and oGereS
to give her the $50 TO get herself q new
hat, but she took the money anC
bought him suit Of clothes and q boz
