River News,

our river dispatches this morning
show clearly that where the rivers are
not rising, they show disposition to do
SO, and the indications OF the weather
are decidedly favorable towards what
we believe is eneyitable-a rapid rise in
ali directions, The Ouachita is on a
big boom, having rising about feet in
the past As hours. The Hanna Blanks,
as VIII be seen by cur New Orleans re-
ports left last night and we have no
doubt but that she VIII be found at out
landing Saturday morning.

Commercial.

Our merchants who laid in heavy
stocks, anticipating a brisk and pros
porous season, are to be congratulated
on the success of their venture. They
all appear TO have their hands full in
supplying the wants Of customers, and
new goods are arriving daily in aston
ishing large quantities, all OF which is
sold at such low prices that it IS i'm
possible for any one to ignore them.
The receipts, or rather sales of cotton
yesterday, amounted to 100 bales, all
of which brought prices comparatively
equivalent to the New Orleans market.
Total receipts to date-2650 bales.
Exchange on New Orleans at par

Something AbOat Tennis.

Although the revival of the ancient
game of tennis, which is now generally
known as lawn tennis, is of recent
growth, the sport is simply a mo litica-
ton of the pastime familiar to the
English people in the time Of Shakes
peare. They, in turn, borrowed the
game from the French. There can be
little doubt that the sport arose out OF
hand-ball," or, as it was called by this
French, palm-play, so-called because
the exercise consisted in receiving the
ball and driving it back again with the
palm of the hand. In former times
they PLAYED with the naked hand, then
with "a glove. Afterward it became
the fashion to bind cords and tendons
around the hands to make the ball re-
bound more forcibly. From this habit
the racquet derived its origin. During
the time of Charles l. hand tennis was
exceedingly popular in France, being
played for large sums Of money. So
strong was the passion for betting
upon the game that the nobility, after
losing all they had about them, would
pledge their wearing apparel Ac-
cording TO Laboureur French histo'
rian, the Duke Of Burgundy, "haying
lost sixty francs at palm-play with the
Duke Of Bourbon, Messire William de
Lyon and Messire Guy de Ia Tri.
meuille, and not having money enough
to pay them, gave his girdle as apledge
for the remainder, and shortly after
ward he left the same girdle with the
Count D'Eu for eighty francs which
he lost at tennis" Indeed, it was very
common in those times to negotiate
girdles instead of bonds in betting
transactions.
In the fifteenth century regular and
fixed rules were introduced in the
game for the first time, and covered
courts were erected. In the sixteenth
century tennis courts We're quite com,
mon in England, and the sport was
literally encouraged by the soyereigns.
In work published by Hoole in 1868
there is a picture Of a tennis court,
divided by a line stretched in the mid
die, and the players standing on either
side with their racquets ready 10 re-
ceive and return the ball. which the
rules of the game required TO be struck

An Ane,S Revenge.

Apes, when their anger is aroused,
are very dangerous creatures, as they
will dare almost anything in order to
avenge their wrongs. Many Of their
deeds of revenge are well known, but
the following anecdote, which comes
from Italy, is as amusing as any wa
have yet heard of. IL Rosso, a DIS
ciple OF Angelo, resided in Florence in
house overlooking a garden belong
ing to some friars. ii Rosso possessed
an ape which was on friendly terms
with one Of his apprentices called
Battistoni, who empl lyed the animal
to steal the friars grapes, letting it
down into the adjacent garden and
drawing it up again by rope. Thi
grapes being missed watch was set,
and one day fri6r caught the ape in
the very act. He tried to inhiet a
thrashing, but the apa got the best OF
it and escaped, II l,OssO, however,
was sued, and his pet sentenced tg
wear a weight on its tail. But few
days elapsed ere the culprit had an
opportunity of ayenging this insult.
While the friar was performing mass
at a neighboriLg church, the ape
climbed to the part of the roof under
which the altar stood, and to u.e
Vasari's words, performed so lively
dance with the weight on his tail
that there was not a tile or vase left
unbroken; and on the friar's return a
torrent Of lamentations was heard that
lasted three days" ,"-Harps''S Young

People Who Disappear.

Five hundred men. women and chill
dren disappear in New York every
year and are reported as mysteriously
lost. Those who read newspapers hear
of their disappearance, but only in
eXceptionable instances of their re-
covery. What becomes Of this great
herd of absentees? Do they ever re-
turn? Or, once sucked under in the
mad whirlpool of feverish metrOpoli-
tan life in which only the sum, not the
individual, counts, are they neYermore
cast up to the surface and to the sight
of men?
The question is answered by the
police books. Under an improved
system of recording missing persons
and following up the inquiry at stated
intervals, data have accumulated since
the beginning of the present year that
Justify the conclusion that fiYe-siXths
of those sought for turn up, and that
when they do the mystery Of their alb
sence is reduced to very small mini
mum. .--NCGO York Herald.

In Catholic and Protestant countries
the year 1900 will not be leap-year
they all having adopted the Gregoriar
calendar. In countries where tht
Greek church is established (Russii
and Greece) the old Julian calendar
still holds, and those countries vii
count it a leap-year. After February
1900, therefore, the difference between
the two calendars, which is now twelv'
days, will become thirteen days, anC
will remain so until 2100, the yea
2000 being leap-year in both th'
Julian and Gregorian calendars. Th
rule for leap-year may be thus STATED
according to the Gregorian calendar
which differs from the Julian only il
special treatment of the centur.
years: All years whose indeX-numbe
(1S83 is the indeX-number of the pres
ent year, is divisible by four are leap
years, unless (l) their indeX-numbe
is divisible by one hundred (centur.
years.. In that case they are not leap
years, unless (2) their indeX-numbe
is divisible by four hundred, in whicl
case they are leap-years. Thus, l7UO
1900, 1900 and 2100 are not leap-years
while 1000, 2000 and 2400 are.
