After the Flood tile Buffalo Gnat.

NEW ORLEANS, La, April 4.--The Mis-
sissippi continues to fall slowly from Vicks
burg to the gulf, but is yet very high. Tn.
fall in front of New Orleans from the high.
est point reached is over a foot. Planters
in the inundated parishes are now hopeful
that the overflow water will run of
i'll time to permit the planting of a full
crop. In some sections of North Louisiana
land is beginning to be seen in spots. The
dreaded Buffalo gnat, which always follows
an overflow, has made its appearance, but
little damage has yet been done in LOUISE
ana. Thousands of working stock have
been killed in Mississippi. Another week
of dry weather and the river business will
resume its ordinary course. Urgent calls
for assistance come from the inundated Sec
tons, and the work for relief is being ac-
lively pushed.

A RIVER HORROR.

Fourteen Persons Lose Their Lives by the
Burning of the Steamer Rebecea Ever

Heroism of the Pilots Son.
COLUMBUS, Ca, April 4.-Fourteen per-
sons lost their lives yesterday morning by
the burning of the steamer Rebccca Ever
ingham, Captain George Whiteside, a: Fitz-
gerald Landing. on the Chattahoochee Riv-
er. forty miles below this city. The fire
originated in the stern of the steamer and it
is thought from an electric lamp spark. The
vessel had sixteen cabin and nine deck pas
sengers besides q full crew. The flames
spread so rapidly that even before the men
on watch could alarm the first passengers
the whole vessel was ablaze. Many pas
scngers rushed from their cabins in their
night-clOthes and succeeded in escaping by
the gang-plank, though several We're severe

of the fire, the following are known to be
lost or are missing: Miss Avant, of Cuth-
bert; Miss Simpson, of Fort Gaines; j. B.
Yates, of cambridge; w. L. Kennedy, of
Euraulia; Julia Adams, a colored maid;
Dolph Thomas, a firemen; Robert Griffin,
stevedore; Randall Singer, Ackland; A. S.
Stephens, d%eck-hand; d.. ID. Williams, of
lagrange colored woman and child, names
unknown; two white men, unknown. Cap
tain George III. Whitesides, the Command
er, was painfully burned. All the officers
did their duty nobly. while the conduct of
the pilot, George L.. Lapham, and his son,
a lad of fourteen years, was specially com
mended, they having renamed OH board
and materially assisted in landing the pas
Sengers.
Three hundred and seven bales of cotton
and a small miscellaneous freight were
burned. The boat was valued at S24, 900,
with no insurance. She belonged to the
Central line, and piled on theC hattahoochee
River between Columbus and Alphabetical
Bay OH the gulf coast.

The Handy Branding Iron.

1t is SAID that class of cattle men in
Eastern Nevada brand everything that
comes in sight. They keep the brands
hot all the time. AT certain town
on the line Of the Central Pacific Rail
road, the other day, one OF this class
was making himself very "fresh'' with
young lady he had just met for the
first time. A rival for the smiles of
the young lady, but who had for some
time admired at distance, felt his
heart turn to gall at the sight 'Nes,
curse him." said he gazing green
eyed at the Irritation, she goes after
her just like she was yearlng heifer.
First thing she knows he'll clap his
brand on, and march her off to his
corral. "-Nirginia Enterprise.

COWBOY FNOLICS.

Shooting at an Indian Brave to See How
Close He Could Miss Him-The Re-.
suit.
Passengers who arrived here on the
train this morning report that, as they
passed American Falls, last night,
they saw lot Of cowboys hanging
around the station, and heavily armed.
AS there was evidently something un.
usual going on, the passengers made
inquiries and were informed that.
some time before, there had been a
tight between Bannack Indians and
cowboys. One of the latter, it seems,
fired at an Indian brave, to see how
close he could come without hitting
him. The Indian thus civily treated
couldn't enjoy the fun, so he returned
the fire. The cowboy thereupon
shot him, when other Indian braves
came up, and fired into the crowd of
COW. boys, and hastily retreated to
their wigwams. The cowboys did
not follow them, but they don't feel
at all pleased at this escapade, and
may yet make it hot for the Indians.

The Twin Creeks Tunnel.

The tunnel at Twin Creeks, on the
Oregon Short Line, will be completed
in about three weeks, and by its means
the running time between Shoshone
and Granger will be shortened at least
one hour. At present the trains are
compelled to pass over steep grades
and switch-backs, in order to cross
the hill; but when the tunnel shall be
completed these will be avoided and
an enormous item of expense done
away with. The tunnel is about
three-quarters of mile long, and has
been over two years in making.

THE NEW POSTOFFICE.
Three Indispensable improvements that
the Public Will Expect In II.

/ To THE EDITOR OF THE TINEs:-
Having read notice that our wor-
thy postmaster is going "wthin sixty
days" to take a step III the rig hit d.
recton, and move the postoflice into
town, would venture to offer a sup-
gestion in behalf of this civilized
community. First, let us have the
things we pay for. We pay for the
use of lock boxes in order to get our
letters independent of Office hours
Now, the advantage Of the lock box
es is nearly all lost to the payers, if
the pos tollice is arranged, as at pres
ent, in such primitive shape that be-
fore and after business hours the ac
cess to these boxes is ef1ectuallv pre-
vented by the locking of the store;
In all postollices that make the least
pretension of accommodating the
public, the closing of the office does
not close the access to the lock boxes.
because the latter are placed in sort
of vestibule that is entered from the
street, and behind which the enclosure
of the office is located. The Office.
therefore, may properly be closed at
stated hours, and yet the boxes re-
main accessible at any hour of the
day or night.
Secondly, let us have fixed time
for closing the mails, and let this time
be marked on a visible sign board at
the postotiice, and kept exactly by
the postmaster, so no one will be dis ,
appointed, if he mails his letters be-
fore the closing time, and will not
bother the postmaster to open the
mailbag if the closing time is passed.
Let there be reliable clock hung up
n sight.
Thirdly, let US have the mouth of
he letter large enough for a man
% drop his letters without getting his
myers caught in it. The same APP
plies to the newspaper slot, or hole.
