the banks of the Mississippi and a material

As the river reached the maximum height
last winter. its decline has been carefully
watched, in order to prevent any radical
diversion of its course.
A. one time OF another it has deserted
nearly every town along its bank and
moved away ten, fifteen or twenty miles
leaving the town entirely cut off from river
commerce and severely injured in conse-
quence. Now GreenviIle, the capital O.,

AUDIENCES DOWN IN DIXIE.
TWO SPELLEINDERS TELL or
THEIR EXPERIENCES.
An ex-Confederate's Attempt to Wiring
Cheers From Arkansas Crowd for lI0r-
ace <;reelry--COl. EenisOn Warns Up
Virginia Audience for an Opponent.

Several od-time political speakers were
exchanging recollections up at the Republi-
can Club in Fortieth street the other night.
A recent convert, an eX-Confederate, by
the way. who is now bank lawyer in New
York, told the following story:
"My first political speech was made in
Arkansas in the Greeley campaign, My
audience was composed OF ex-Confederates
like myself In fact, most Of Us had been
in the same command, and some OF rs
we're still unreconstructed.
"The campaign committee, all Johnny
Rebs, had browbeaten me into a promise
to make a speech. ] made frantic pro-
test at saying anything for Horace Greeley,
To the committee | applied to him epithets
that would have caused fire alarm box
to explode.
~The committee agreed with all | said,
but they insisted that the Democratic party
had to break loose somewhere and that this
seemed to be the only place in sight, ]
said did not know what | could say to
help the PARTY at such a time.
You can tell the boys. Paul said the
chairman o: the committee, that old Greeley
went on President Daviss bond when our
President was IN prison, and mat ought to
help us to forget all that Greeley ever said
about Democrats
Il said the boys knew all that, but the
chairman said he didn't think it was gener-
ally known. Anyway, he said. it had never
been warmed up for the boys by one Of
their own kind finally yielded and went
to the meeting
The band played all the old Southern
airs, and the two speakers who preceded
me never alluded I" Greeley. Nothing
they said had any reference to II Presidcn-
tial election. IL was up to me, after all.

A Business Mans Maxims.

The late Gustavus F. Swift, the great
Chicago beef packer, who has just died
leaving an estate of many millions, laid
down the following maxims to insure sue
cess in life:
DON drink
No man, however rich, has enough
money to waste in putting on style.
The richer man gets the more careful
he should be to keep his head level.
The man that doesn' know his business
from the Top clean down to the bottom is
not any kind of a business man.
Business, pleasure and religion of the
right kind should be the only things in life
for any man.
A big head and big bank account
were never found together TO the credit of
any one, and never will be.
No young man is rich enough to smoke
twenty y-five-cent cigars.
Every time man loses his temper he
loses his head, and when he loses his head
he loses several chances.
Next to knowing your own business it's
a mighty good thing to know as much
about your neighbor's as possible, especi-
ally if he's in the same line.
The best man ever did shouldn't be
his standard for the rest of his life.
The successful men of today worked
mighty hard for what they We got. The
men of tomorrow will have to work hard to
get it away.

and returned to his tribe to spend his life
in the Sahara in preference to European
cities,
At dinner in London one evening, just
before he returned to Africa, he was asked
''What do you think of European civ
lization ]?
4 would rather not say, he replied.
II am eating your salt and dwelling in
your tents. 1t would be discourteous to
criucise you.
But he was urged to speak. "Oh, go

us of our faults Don mind being can
