IS IT DECErvINe ?
fr05Hui IN iratCd. ,

f'0tnnu trdtc0.,
Last Friday, (Jan 25th,} the residents
of Washington along Bayou COnrta-
bleau enjoyed rare and interesting
spectacle. The rain had been falling fol
sixty hours. and still it tell-not heavily
but in u "siZZly--sozz|y,' soaking way,
peculiarly depressing to those snscepti-
bic to weather influence.
During this downfall of moisture, two
"hg boats were at our landings. The
| Warren, beautiful and immaculate, and
another-not the Warrcn's docile baby,
| Minnie, that we ilavo often, of late but
now, alas, no more seen, tugging hack
and forth, in brisk obedience to its lord
| ly parent, but another and bigger than
the Miunie, graceful, stranger vessel,
the Alto. (Let ns in passing, hope that
consistent with her name. she will not
disturb the harmony of things, bnt only
swell the melody that daily asccnlls be-
fore the shrine of tratle.)
The Warren, who has been our week
ly and welcome visitor, for several sea-
sons, arrived Thursday night; next
morning came tho Alto. and throughout
| the day they were busted at their res
pective landings. The pretticst view to
be had of them, however, was when
both being drawn up at the lower land
iHSs tiicy lay SluF ny slNc. III SftSltUIDA
whteness, and the smoke Of their diff
ferent chimDeys mingled and was lost
in the envcloping, misty rain.
Viewing them, as we did from dis
tance and through the frame work of
the iron bridge, we could imagine city
wharf, the shouts of busy truckmea, the
rattle of rampant drays, the rushing of
excited and belated passengers, the
cesseiesa hurryings of the multitudes of
humanity, all that 60 to make up
thriving and popnlous thoroughfare.
Then as these two "thiues of beauty
were before the eye, back and above,
came The rumble and the smoke of the
noon freight over the bridge, and still |
further, down the Bayou, was seen the |
roofs of the factory and the mill. All
this, whether viewed from an artistic or
commercial standpoint, made picture
most pleasing to the eye or mind, ac-
cording to the bent of the heiloder. A
stranger passing through our midst ,
would surely have exclaimed "auite a |
town." and in spite of the con-
tinued hard times"-"tight
times" we are constrained to think and
hope, with so many evidences of pros
perity before us, that it can't be quite
$50 black as its painted"
