There is little reason, however, for a settlement in these parts bestir itself. Its tut lire is ton uncertain. The town that is on the river this year may be on a useless swamp the next ; the town that is live miles inland, with no dream of the Mississippi, may be awakened any morning hv the roar of a steamboat whin! tie. There are many points in desperate straits today. Tiptonvilile, Tenn., a town of more than ordinal y prosperity, depending altogether on the steamboat sorI vice, once on the main channel, now finds herself, because of r< cutoff, on a shallow back-water which goes as dry as her streets in low season.
