The Mound City Journal, in speaking
of the road leading from Cairo to Mound
City says: "Thewutcr Is now off the
Cairo and Mound City wngon road, nnd
It is safe to calculate tliat It will not be
overflowed again tor six months, and it
may be free from such lutcrtuptton for a
much longer period. This being the
case, all interested hi securing a good
drive between tho two places should com
bine to put the road in proper order. But
little work is required, the road being in
good order, we believe, this side of Cache
bridge. The other side there is some
drift to remove nnd one or two ditches
to bridge. When the road Is in order,
much travel and trade will be attracted
to Cairo that has been unknown to that
locality for a lopg period."

A (Scene at the Delruoalco.
An elderly lady, hailing from Massa
chusetts, calling herself Elizabeth Patch,
arrived at the Delinonico a few nights
ago, and after securing a room, retired
for the night. The next morning the
chambermaid went to tho room to make
the bed, as usual, but found the old lady
still asleep.
"Ilreakfast Is ready," said the chamber
maid, awaking Elizabeth.
"I don't care If It is ; I paid lor this
bed, aud am going to sleep as long as I
please. Voit get out and mind your busi
ness," replied Mrs. Patch.
The chambermaid retired.
About eleven o'clock Mrs. 1'. made her
appearance In the olllee, where the clerk
was seated, and exclaimed in angry
tones :
"Ain't you never a goln' to have any
breakfast?"
"Breakfast is over," replied the clerk;
"dinner will be ready lu a few mlnuU-s."
"I don't care when dinner is ready.
I'm sick and must have, some breakfast."
"Very well, madam," replied the clerk,
"eit down a minute, and I'll have a cup
of tea and some toast for yon."
"Toast and tea! I don't want your toast
aud tea. My stomach's In bad order, and I
want something that will lay on my
stomach. I want some cake and pie
Where's my valise; I'll go to a restaurant
where 1 can get wiiat I ask for ; I never
did see such people an these hotel folks
any how."
They don't have pie and cake at res
taurants," said the clerk; "I'll get you
Just what you need If you will let me."
The old lady aat down and waited. In
a few moments the clerk uude his nn.
pearance and escorting her to the dluinjj
room, placed her at n table witli a cup of
steaming tea, a delicious piece of toast,
some blackberry-Jam, etc., and said :
There, Just eat that, and you will feel
nil right. All sick people are advWcd to
eat toast by the best physicians."
"How much Is that," inquired Eliza
beth.
"Fifty cents."
"Fifty cents ? Do you think I can cat
fifth cents wortli ol that stufl ? Where's
my valise, I'll go to a restaurant."
Madam," said the clerk, "you'll find

A Memphis exchange has the follow
ing: Mr. Jos. Mitchell, of Mitchell's
Point, in Dyer county, Tennessee, about
125 miles above here, writes us some in
teresting reminiscences concerning high
water. He is iiear eighty-live years of
age and lias lived on the banks of the
river since lie was ten years old. He is
quite tin active, vigorous man et, and
whatever he says possesses peculiar In
terest. In the course of his letter he
says:
The first hlsh water I remember was
lu 1815, which was the highest I ever
knew. I had cone to New Orleans In a
tlatboataud witnessed the battlo of Jan
uary 8. A tier sellinjr my com to the
government we started back. The levee
was maue as laras walnut Hill mcKs-
burg). We saw no laud until wo came to
Strong's farm (Aelena). Wo had to
cook aim Heeii on unit, aexi was
Chlehasaw Bluff. We are out of provi
sions. Old Mr. lived opposite. He
would not sell to us, but we caught a
barrel of Hour in the drift
us we ciossexl, and sold him
some dried beef. It took forty-tlve
davs to make the trio. I then lived In
New Madrid. My father moved to that
tdacc in 1800. lu 1817 I went with a
friend with another cargo to New Or
leans, lie caugm me yeiiovv lever, uiiu
It took all our money to cure him. We
came to Point Coupee in a barge : the
yellow fever broke out on board nnd we
started home on foot. When we reached
Colbert Ferry, on Tennessee river, the
bank was full. We made a raft and
started. When we reached the Ohio
it was booming, and the Mississippi wits
still more so. Tins was in uei
ber, and the only high water I ever
saw In the Fall. The next high water
was in 1S2S. It began In January aud
continued until the latter part of July.
There were but few farms then on the
river. High water after that was always
In the Spring until 184-1, when it came in
July, when good crops had been made.
I had sixty acres of corn and u levee in
front ot my farm. The steamer James
niiu went up, ami the waves uroKe
ov Wy levee, but It did not hurt as bad
as this one. We then had some resources;
no w we have none. Steamboats then burnt
all the Wood vi anuUl uutou thi' tinnlc. t
have some thousands of acres ut lana im
the river. I could employ twenty hands
to cut wood. I have tenants on my place
who have lost their crops. They are
poor. What must they do? The boats
take coal Instead of wood, and the money
goes to Pittsburg, Grand Tower and the
Ohio, and your cltv don't get a cent. Not
only hundreds of tenants will suffer, but
small farmers also. If you can help us
to convince steamboat owners that it Is
to their advantage to help us. we will
be thankful. My Post Olllce Is Cotton
