RIVER INTELLIGENCE.

The River Takes n Drop-Prospects for a
Rise Not Very Encoura ging.
Little was done about the wharf yesterday
on account of there being no packet down
stream. The up-river boats did fairly good
business and carried heavy loads of passengers.
The river dropped nearly foot since Friday
night. putting it down to feet inches. The
iron barges that have been loading at Braddock
were towed down to this port to-day, and will
be sent to Cairo and st. Louis on the first rise.
The prospects for higher water do not seem SO
bright as few days ago. Business will about
come to standstill in the meantime.

He fairly bubbles over with hunor.,
Last winter he attended an evening.
entertainment at the residence of q
very wealthy senator. The dining
room Of the mansion is a superb one:
On this particular occasion it had been
decorated regardless of cost. "Pri-
yate" Allen was asked to escort to the
dinner table southern woman with
whom he was well-acquainted. AS
they neared the doors Of the magnif-
cent room Mr.. Allen was struck dumb
for moment with admiration. Then
turning to his partner he said:
"My dear young lady, let us pause
a moment or two. I doubt if | can
restrain my feelings"
There seemed to be trouble on his
face and the lady said:
"Why, Mr.. Allen, what is the mat.

"For what reason?"
"Oh, it makes me so sad TO look at

of his joke.
