His feelings can well be imagined when it is said that he knew full well that few, if any, of his customers had skiffs, and that he didn’t possess adequate accommoda- tions for stowing his goods away far enough above the floor to prevent damage by the humidity. As this sort of thoughts chased each other in wild confusion through his brain, he finally bethought him. self of an expedient remedy,aod send ing for the essential material actually began caulking the floor of his store with oakum like he would have done asteamboat hull, Quite a crowd gathered to watch the strange pro- ceedings, and the general opinion seemed to be that the grocer expect- his establishment to float, but un- fortunately it didn’t. It is still in the same old place, however, and in- cluded in the grocer's stock in trade is now a Uy supply of Obio river water. o The following table was compiled some time ago, and sets forth the high stages reached in various years, which are enumerated at Chatta- nooga, Nashville, Cincinnati and F dugab. It isa good tabulation to cut out and keep for farture refer- ence. Hespecial attention is called to the fact that the rise, in 1883 and 1894, ceaved simultaneously at Nash- ville and Cincinnati and din Paducah jast nine days later Chattanooga, Mareh 1 Chattanoogs, Mareh 1, 187% Hobs RS -German Nat.

Bill Rollins, in bis inimitable style, regaled an interested crowd last night at Lang’s drug store with some reminiscenses of iro, Il. Capt. Bill would never be taken for an old man, but there are few men whose memory is equal to his, or who can recall occurrences as far back and with such infinite accuracy as he can. “In 1846," said the jolly captain in a reflective mood, ‘I was running from St, Louis to New Orleans. Uairo was nothing then but a paw- paw thicket, and there was but one house there, « little shanty on stilts away back where you couldd’t see sit from the river. When a boat landed there the natives would swarm down and offer for sale pawpaws like ap- ples and such things might be offered how, ‘In 1847, however, there was es- tablished a hotel. ‘The hotel was on a wharf boat, and [can remember it as distinctly as if it’ were yesterday, There was a pet pig on the boat, a sow as white as the driven snow, and that pig was a wonder. Whenever anything was thrown off the boat, in the way of bones, scraps,or garbage, that white sow would jamp off and dive after it. I've seen her dive into fifteen feet of water and get a bone without a minute's hesitation, from the bottom of the river, fy at pig was always as clean as if you'd serub ber ten times a day, and She was well known to all river men of that day. Bat in 1845 there wasn’t but one house where Cairo now is, and that was on stilts,’? oe In 1867, when the river was higher than in any year except 1884, a mboat, according to some of the older river men, was carried around through Island creek, almost around ste * of the globe—Dr, 7 Another U.-$, Con Within the past year, among the thousands of hearty\testimonials to the wonderful curative.powers of} Paine’s celery compound that have | vecn received by Wells, Richerd Company—among the thou grateful letters received ate and town in the have come no legs than & six hearty endorsements from members of the national housefof representatives.

Last night was one of the roughest nights on the river that has been ex- perienced around this barbor for many aday, The crews on several of the harbor boats stayed up all | night with steam up in readiness in se of an emergency. here was no business whatever doing on the wharves this morning, and everything was as quiet as a holi- |day. Some of the boata have re- tired on account of high water, while account of the rough ri and high wind. A strong wind blew all yesterday afternuon, last night and throughout this forenoon, making the river very rough and thus preventing the ferry boat, Bettie Owen, and the little Metropolis packet, Goo. H. Cowling, from making their regular runs. The big towboats, Cruiser and Alice Brown, were due here last night at 9 o'clock from Pittsburg en route to New Orleans, each with large tows of coal. They had not passed down late hour this forenoon, being ad up to the bank on account of the high wind, The river is expected to be sta- tionary here by tonight and very likely to be receding by tomorrow night. The river only rose one and one-half inches last night, making the gauge read this morning at 7 o'clock 50.9 and is not expected to reach over the 51 foot mark, as the high water above here will run out by Friday.
