MONROE Telegraph: "Ths Ohio river pack
ct Will Kyle has the notoriety of having the
most unesrthly sounding whistle of any
steamer on Western waters, and il is said that
she has been the cause of disruptiug services
that were being held at a small town on the
lower mississippi, in colored church, the
preacher saying that the same was certainly
Gabriel's horn, aud within ten minutes there
was not single coon to be found any
where in the neighborhood."
THE Will s. Hays made the last run

Sara, Natchez, Vicksburg, Arkansas City,
Terrene and Memphis. She passed Evsns-
vile Sunday evening So hours out from

killed if she gets to Cincinnati ahead of any
previous record.
HAYs's skunk got away, and he has found
a substitute upon which to WELD his caustic
Faber: "If these dudes don't cut air holes in
their brooches legs such hot weather as this
and ventilate their propellers, they'll get dry,
break off above the knees, stab their bodies
and bleed 'em to death. 1t must be that
they have heap of courage and confidence
to risk themselves upon such legs during hot
weather. II dog would bite one of their
legs he'd think be had tackled Accent
rattan cane and let 90. There's no blood in
'em, and the leg of dude is liable to fool
the most vicious and bloodthirsty dog in the
world. Ike says: Dam eff they don't look
ter me like lot OBJ wooden close pins gwine
'roun' dressed up"
The overflow comedians are opening up
| again. This time they are guessing pretty
| close to the mark, as the following from the
st. Louis Republican, of Monday, indicates:
"The river at this point is still advancing
very rapidly. AT The foet OF asnington
| avenue, and at the foot of Ch-'-:- svcs2ls,
| the Eastern railroad track is al -. rrc-Fsy
submerged, while at the foot = S;sr3rie
street both tracks are complete i.-;i5T vs-
ter. The gauge at the foot of l1aTket street
at o'clock yesterday afternoon read 80 S-l0
feet above low-water mark, thus indicating a
rise of l 2-l0 feet in "a hours. Capt. Jim
Kennedy, of Kansas City, telegrsphed from
at point yesterday that they were having
heavy rains in that section, and that the
Missouri river was rising rapidly, with Is
feet inches on the gauge. This would
| seem to indicate that the present rise will
reach higher point here than was touched
Last year. Already The cellars at the river
| front are filed almost TO the flooring with
water, and it will not require many added
inches to bring the river into Inc FIRST floor
of all the buildings situated upon the lower
portions OF The lsvee."
