miscellaneous.
Business was extremely duh yesterday,
with scarcely any arrivals and departures.
The Tempest passed up from the Ten
nessee River with a good trip, including
100 hogsheadsl of tobacco. The Argosy.
arrived from Nashville with slim trip.
She was receiving some freight yesterday,
and would go out last night with moder-
ate trip. 1.-THE Armada got very hand
some trip to go out with yesterday She
always goes full of people, everybody de-
lighting to travel with Capt. Josh and his
fascinating clerks. On her last two trips
she registered All passengers ...-.The Ella
Faber had a moderate trip of freight and
people both ways.......J. w. Green. Agent
for the Mary Ament, writes to the New
Albany Ledger, from Greensboro, as fol-
lows: rThere will be considerable tobacco
shipped from here this season, and Now
Albany will be the point, if the railroads
viii compete with Evansville am ship
ping now to your gay little city, and
will continue to do SO as long as l
retain my mental faculties and keep
my excellent good health. ''..............l
The foregoing suggests, or should suggest,
an idea to.our business men and shippers.
If the Mary Ament, or amy other boat, dis
eliminates against the city of Evansville,
she cannot expect much favor from Ev-
ansville shippers. We can hardly think
that this discrimination in favor of New
Albany is made ON the authority or with
the knowledge of Capt. Liter, who certain
ly has an equal interest at both ends of
his trade, hut at all events our people
should look to the interests of Evansville
They should demand fair play and no dis
elimination. ......aThe Ada Lyon left for
Green River with small trip...... The
towboat Baker passed up with a large tow
of empty barges. She did not land. 81.
