While we do not wish to appear an
alarmist, the present outlook for
high stage of water in the lower Mis-
sissippi this year is such as to cause
much anxiety. The high water in
the Ohio river, together withthe rise
in the Arkansas and the upper Mis-
sissippi at st. l. 'nir, will he likely to
swell the lower river and cause it to
go way beyond lis banks. The chief
signal officer of the government, Gen
Hazen has sent out warming and
estates that it is almost certain that
foods will occur between Memphis
and Vickshurg that danger signals
have been ordered along the line
from Memphis to Cairo, and that the
rainfall of the next two weeks will
determine whether the food in the
lower Mississippi will not be higher
than that of last year. In view of
this, it would be well for our plant
ere to be prepared to move their
stock and other things to high points
at moments notice. That the
planters above realize the situation
is shown by n special telegram from
Memphis, to the Times Democrat,
which states that ''hasty preparations
are being made to remove stock and
household effects to the his HANDS.
Orders have been received here for
skiffs and warning has been sent
throughout the valley to prepare for
the worst. Opinions are divided as
to what height the river here will
attain. Some think it will not equal
the food of last spring while many
others assert that the water now in
sight from the upper streams will
wipe out all previous records. Some
few have already removed their HOSES
and mules to higher places. Provise
ions are being sent to the colored
laborers on many of the farms in
anticipation of an over flow, and the
gathering CT the cotton yet remain
ing in the fields is being pushed Wig

those in cultivation. Our lands are

The manager of a well-known cir
Gus company, recently in St, Louis, is
authority, for the statement that the
shows under canvass will probably be
obliged to abandon railway transpor-
tation and go back on wheels, and he
believes the day is not far distant
when they will. He says the railroads
are not anxious to haul the circuses.
They have made high rate for the
reason that certain circus proprietors
are constantly suing the companies
for alleged damages caused by acct
dents and delays. He says the eX-
penses of circus company on the
road a few years ago were not one
fifth of what they are now, while the
receipts do not show proportionate
increase. In former years one ring
was deemed sufficient, while now a
circus to be considered to be first
class must have two or more; of course
this innovation also adds greatly to
the expense.-Ndtches Democrat.

the country-an increase altogether out of
proportion to the augmentation OF the

nearly meeting him, talking IS hard
as he could, not striving to snow learning
or wit-quite the contIary-frank, open
hearted genius, delighted to be together at

tering and agreeable thing to me that could
possibly be- Harriet was on the off side,
and every now and then he turned to her
in the midst of his anecdotes, and made
her so completely one of us, and there was
such prodgious noise NOBODY could hear

agreed that Bon1parte never could bear to
have any but decided answer. lone

self by considering before l answered. He
asked me, Ought we 10 introduce beet

we must think Of the colonies. Shall we

we ought to study the subject. Bah !

Under Master came forward and said any
number that was in his head. Bonaparte
Immediately took the Msstership from the
first and gave it to the second. " "Qu'arri-

who gave the guess answer was soon found

THE PANIC

Into which the authorities were thrown
can be imagined from TWO incidents. a
discarded weight, such as is used in the
construction of cranes, is found in a pub
lie thoroughfare, aud it is mistaken at once
for loaded shell and, again, consign-
ment to Birmingham, from colonial port,
of some cases of goods known technically
to the gun trade as " basils, :" ia seized by
Customs officials, and the country is startled
by the announcement that a lot of internal
machines have been captured. What we
shall hear next do not know, but l am
sure the people are in frame of mind to
not be surprised at anything. Meanwhile,
the cause of Ireland has received another
backset, and the worst it has had for years.
Not even the Phoenix Park horror can
match this latest development in the irri-
tation caused to the nation at large, for it
is felt now that the enemy mas no scruples,
but would as readily wresk vengeance on
the common masses as upon those who
stand in high place and represent to him
the hated authority of his British rulers.
