all sorts of missiles were flying as | entered.
Good sized account books office rulers, waste
paper baskets, stationery boxes, bundles of
documents and many other little items OF the
kind were making the air rather dark at
times and must fancied, have given few
of the depositors additional cause for weep
ing The game however, grew merrier, glass
was smashed and gas standards torn down. The
secretary's sanctum, Private" on the door,
was broken open and ransacked, glass being
smashed and furniture wrecked, and then
there was a ringing 'Hurrahp The door
opening to the hall of the house, the parlor
floor OF which constituted the stylish looking
bank, was forced open and the mob surged
out in that direction in quest of the secretary,
who. it was asserted-though on no apparent
ground-had gone up stairs. There were
cries of Fetch i'm outp Throw i'm out o.
Window and so forth, we'll calculated to
stimulate the activity of any gentleman who
might have been going up stairs as the roWd
rushed into the hall below.
Meanwhile every nook and corner was
being ransacked for money. The cash box
was found-a large and very promising-loOk
ing affar-but not even a rattle could be got
out of it. The counter drawers were objects
of attention on the part of the more business
like. and number of women cont iued their
energies for long time in trying to tear off
the mahogany top of the counter in order TO
get at whatever might be beneath it. But
ceeded in discovering and getting open the
till, and there was frantic rush, from which
/ rather expected to find that serious injury,
or perhaps Death, woald result. For minute
or two there was an absolutely mad scram
BILE, from the midst of which there were
shrieks and cries and curses, and then the
till was hurled overhead-empty, of
course; and SO far as | could see no
body was injured, except a young girl,
whose arm, she said, was sprained.
1t was on the whole one of the most curious
spectaeles have witnessed for long time,
and the most remarkable part of it all was
that two policemen were stationed at the
door ali the time the wrecking was going on
and must have heard the cries and shrieks
for help, mingled with the crashing of glass
and the general hurly- burly, but could take
no cognizance of it-so | was informed-be
cause it was private property and they were
not called in; that if there had been
murdereus fight over that till murder must
have taken its course, and the police would
have winked at it until the parties to the
fight had gone or been carried out CT private
property. The seems would to some minds
appear the more curious from the fact that
to say the least of it-though 1 know moth
ing about it one way or the other-It was
just possible that the property being de-
stroyed and the till being robbed belonged to
honest and respectable people,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-The attack made
upon Congressman Carlisle on account of his
opposition to the river and harbor steal,
with view to injuring him in the Missis-
sippi river country, has led to the repubIca-
ton of letter published in the Natchez
Democrat last winter in which he defines his
views on the Mississippi river improvement
question. In the letter he says: II am
ready at all times to vote whatever amount
of money may be necessary to make the
great waterways easy, cheap and safe, and
to promote the commercial welfare of the
country along its banks" and adds in ex.
PLANTATION that while it was true he
has been obliged to vote against the river
and harbor bills on several occasions, it was
because they contained so many objectiona-
BILE matters as to be, in his judgment, utterly
indefensible. He declares himself to be in
favor of separating the Mississippi from the
long list of creeks and ponds usually con-
tanned in this bill so that it can properly be
considered on its merits. He suggests that
the Ohio and Missouri be included with the
Mississippi is separate bill. 1t is observed
that he says nothing about the Arkansas
Red river or any of the smaller
tributaries which drain Illinois, Iowa. Wis
consin and other valley States, for which
large appropriations are annually asked and
made, and which the Democratic congress
men have always advocated. 1t is thought
that the republication of the letter will not
help Carlisle's cause Randalls friends are
redoubling their efforts to pull the props
from under Carlisle. They relied on Black
burn to help them, but will now make a
diversion with Morrison or Springer, prob
ably. Blackburns withdrawal from the
speakership race is said to add seventeen
votes to Carlisle's column,
