IT is notone Of the least decisive marks
of the progress of our CITY that important
branches of business are becoming distinct
" classified. Our Merchants are not obliged
tn keep. under the same roof, bewilderIng
variety of articles. Feathers and fancy
goods; tea and turpentne; lead and leath-
er; shot and shoes; saws and salt; ginger
and grinds,ones; ladies dresses and horse
harness; slaves and stationary; OK yokes and
shirt collars; aud some scores of other COM
modires equally well assorted.
For some time past, business has been dis
tributing itself into proper channels. we
have now Houses devoted each to a distinct
branch. Our Book Stores relieve the mer-
chant of the necessity of loading his shelves
with stationary. Messrs. Hollingsworth d
Hughes keep supply OF such articles as be-
long to a Queens Ware Establishment
We hear that another H uss of the same
kind is to be opened soon.
Messrs. Babcock Brothers have APP
n-onria,od half IF their -exteusI''Sr siys
III ohOtutE iIutuW flOuSc 10 W NC iHtTO-
duced, in addition to those already in exist
| ence.
The Boot & Shoe House of Hendricks g.
Co., confines itself to this one branch alone.
The Iron business is becoming classified
also as separate branch. We look up
on this tendency of things as decisive proof
that our business is spreading; and we hope
the work of classification will 60 on, until
every Legitimate branch of business shall be
transacted in separate house. Thus, we
cannot help but think, the interests of all
parties will be furthcred. Traders will find
here larger supply of wei! assorted goods.
The division of labor thus secured, will tend
to supply our market with stocks of the best
quality and at the lowest remunerating rates.
Our merchants will be relieved of the need
less perplexity of keeping an eye to all sorts
of trade at the same time.
From all that we can learn, our Wholesale
Houses are to be supplied with a heavier
stock of Goods this Spr ng than were ever
before offered for sale here. Let the traders
come in and make their purchases; it is poor
policy to go fur her and fare worse.

CALIFoRYIA.-Our files of papers from
Cali ornia give details of terrible storm ut
Sacramento City and another great flood.
A number of walls, chimnies. tents, &c.
were blown down, while lakes of water,
rendered many OF the streets impossible to
pedestrians. A crevasse had occurred in
the levee and the papers were urging the
rebuilding of the levee in more sub
stantial manner. 1t appears there are
more Cairos than one in the Union! Cairo
is far better protected now than Sacramento
City. We thank cur friends Col. ]. Nicely
Johnson of Sacramento, and w. N. Johnson,
Esq. of San Fra.:cisco for papers. Why
do they not continue their 'ighly interesting
correspondence! Wake up, Billy, as you are
becoming through neglect an indslinct me-

HOrr,d Murder.

Some time last week information was re-
ceived by the police of Louisville that man
by the name Of Simmons, would probably ar
rive there on the Steamer Gen. Scott, who
was suspected of committing foul murder
on board of trading boat near Natchez.-
When the Scott arrived, the Police boarded
the boat, and from Information gained from
one of the crew proceeded to the state room
of Simmons and arrested him, and found IN
his possession $4,000 in gold, silver and pa
per; also a gun, Colts revolver and
Bowie-knife.
simmons was lodged in Jail at Louisville
and has since made fnll confession to the
iailor and officer Moore.
He says that he shipped on trading q
gunsmithing boat last November, owned by
William Park. On the 18th of January the
boat was lying to during the day, in the
Tensas river, the owner intending to float a
night. simmons came on watch at /.
O'Clock, and determined to murder Park, the
owner, and hand on board by name Of Calf
man, both of whom were then sleeping
Having procuted sic 'ge hammer, ne frs
struck Caffinan on the head, killing him tn
first blow. He then KILLED Park in the sam
msnner and r, bbed the boat of $4,000 an
took a skilf for the shore, proceeded to Nat
chez and took passage on the Gen. Scot
for Wheeling. He appears quite uncrncern
ed about the matter, and says he expects t
be hung for the murder.

returns OF the number-of hogs XII this sea-
son at several points on the upper Mississippi,
which amounts to 95,400; an increase over
the previous season.
This list did not include GaleEa, Dubuque,
Kei,hsburg, Rock Island, Davenport, Oquaw-

Rockport, and minor places in the interior.
We learn that 5000 will be slaughtered at
Galena; 5000 u; Dbuqe; $4,000 at the
other points not heard from.
These estimates comprise $4,000 heed,
and we think it safe, to say that 10000 head
will be packed ON the upper Mississippi, ex-
elusive A lton and St. Louis, and these in

..Have we a bourbon mona us.

Putnam's Monthly for February, proves
that Rev. Eleazer Williams of New York
State, is Louis XVII. The proof rests upon
circumstsnt al evidence. We give the fol-
lowing links in the chain:
1.-THE Prince de Joinvlle, on his arrival in
this count inquired for Mr.. Williams, and
sought and obtained an interview with him
at Green Bay, in which, after deman. ing a
conditional ledge of secrecy, lie required of
him 4 resignation of the or. wn OF France,
as its legitimate heir, in favor of Louis Phil
lippe, and afterwards corresponded with him
through his secretaries.
"Aiter the Princes return, Louis Philippe

OF Louis XVI, passed the French Convention
in 1894.
"fhe President and Ecclesiastical digni-
taries of France have written to Mr.. Will

The above statements are facts. Mr..
Williams has been for twenty-six wears a
good Episcopalian Missionary among the
Indians OF New York, and no efforts that were
made by emmissaries of France to induce him
to return to tie Romish communion had any
effect upon that extraordinary gentleman.
