MEMPHIs.-The appeal of the 9th says I:
The weather yesterday was again very
warm, and the dust has become almost in
sufferable. Business was quite dull, and
reminded one very much of those melan-
chOlv days-the dog days. The river has
falle1 some four inches since our last re-
port. r -
A private telegram received last night
states that the little steamer ]. S. Hall, was
sunk at Gol1y Rock, about 100 miles above
Little Rock, on Thursday night. The crew
and passengers were saved, but the boat is
total loss. She was owned, we believe,
by the Arkansas packet company, of this
city.
The Liberty came down night before last
with big trip, including three new cars
for the street railway. She left for Weeks
burg last evening in place of the st, Pat
rick, which has gone to the bank for re-
pairs. ~
NEW ORLEAEs-The Times of last Sun
day says:
Business on the Ievee for the past week
was about as dun as any one could, expect,
and from all accounts received concerning
the movements of steamers, the coming
week will bear no improvement over that
of the past. There are at present but few
boats in either the Ouachita or Red River
trade, and these find it rather difficult to
get along without mourning a heavy ex-
pense. Were those rivers to fail our plan
tiers would then have chance to replant
again, but as their plantations have been
submerged for some time, 1t would hardly
be necessary to replant before the time
allotted for the next crop to come around.
Yesterday was the best business day of
the past week, and yet nothing extraordin-
airy was done. There was goodly number
of departures, some of which had fair
enough trips, while others had scarcely
anything on hoard.

pleasant, quite in contrast with the begin

times concealed the sun, and altogether 1t
was pleasant day. The river has fallen a

we think, by the declaration Of an individual
standing behind US, who remarked, at the close of
the 1876 rGn, 4" He sertny plays a very cluyver
game oy bilyuds."
M. Carme then entertained the company with
specimens of his fancy shots, and some of them
were really wonderful. We cannot undertake to
describe them in detail. 1t may be said, gener-
ally, that he could make ball go anywhere on
the table he wished, and come back in any way he
wanted it. One of his specialities was to play a
ball against cushion, and then taking it on the
rebound shooting it on the wing make it carom
on two others. To make ball describe curve
around hat, placed on the table, and. then csrom
on another ball, seemed very easy matter to
him. He also made the cue ball travel aboutim a
most wonderful way, at one time caroming on the
top of a hat, then again making it jump inside Of
a hat held two feet above the table, then again
caroming on ball placed on the top
Of an empty bottle 1--WE sometimes carom on o
bottle ourselyes;) and finally he drove his cue
ball off the table and made it knock the deep red
off the top of the hat of young gentleman sitting
by the table. After this, the crowd evidently
thought Monsieur Carmo could do whatever he
pleased with the balls, and the crowd was about
right We were in momentary expectation OF
seeing the cue ball on the pale red, then fly
out of the window, then carom on the St Charles
hotel, then come down Graver street and turn into
Camp, then carom on the lamp post opposite the
CRESCENT Office and finally return to the hall after
calling at Sans, and making carom on bottle
of bis old Scotch whisky. Decidedly, Monsieur
Carme knows how to play billiards-and this local
has no idea Of betting any loose change he may
happen TO have in his pocket on anybody whc
may have the temegity to play against him.
