All the steamboat companies
are having trouble securing roust-
sbouts 10 work for them. AT Ev.
snsvills the Green river packets
offer $40 a month and board for
deck hands aud were unable - get
q sufficient number at that price,
and the Evansville and Paducah
packets even tried 10 hire men at
$40 per month, but none came at
that price. They have all been
paying $35 for ronstabouls aud the
officials say that they know NO rea
son for the men refusing to work
except that they have enough mo-
ney ahead to keep them going un-
til they take a rest.

IMMORTALITY.
"The future holds the fruit ot
JOY; the present keeps us from the
feast and 80 with hurrying feet we
climb the heights and upwards
look with eager eyes. In the ga
thering gloom the fires slowly die,
while memory dreams Of youth
and hope sometimes mistakes the
glow of ashes for the coming OF
another morn"
SUICIDE.
Suicide is jnstifiabIe to escape
death by torture; to avoid being
devoured by a cancer; to prevent
being burden to those you love;
when You can be Of no use to 9TH
ers or yourself; when life is un-
bearable; when in ..all the horizon
Of the future there is no star Of
hope"
HEAVEN.
There may DO place called
heaven, the home of God, whore
angels float aud fly and play on
harps and hear with JOY the
eroans aud shrieks Of the Host in
he'll. But of this there is no evi.
oence. 1t all rests in the dreams
and visions of the insane"

children of genius, the sons and

wings, fill the heaven of mind"
DEATH.
If the grave ends all, il al that
was our friend is dead, the world
10 better for the life he lived. Be-

listen, but from the lips of mys-

Farewell! And yet again fare

charged with obstructing Crossings.

Mr.. Herbert Griffin, yardmaster Of
the Southern Railway in this city, was
cited TO appear before the Mayor this
moraing . show cause why he should
not be fined for obstructing Payne street,
between Wolfe and Wilkes, with freight
cars. The warrant was issued at the
instance of Mr.. William Emerson, the
florist. The accused was dismissed, he
guaranteeing as far as possible to keep
the crossings open. During the examl-
nation of the case it was shown that
since the expansion Of railroad traffic IN
Alexandria the crossing described above
is exceedingly unsafe, as trains OF two
roads are passing almost necessarily day
and night. This, of course, renders the
passing of teams over the square imPos-
sible, while pedestrians incur no little
danger in going from Wolfe to Wilkes
street via Payne street. The Mayor
suggested to the yardmaster that an over
head bridge could be constructed for the
use Of people going to or returning from
the cemeteries. Mr.. Griffin said this
was practicable, and the matter will be
suggested to the railway officials.
