Capt. J.. 3. Davis, of the steamer
Commercial, has just been notified by
the postotice department that he has
been awarded the White river mail con
tract. This award takes effect on July
Ist, and will continue for fonr years. The

The steamer st. Patrick, after making
n trip to Vicksburg, has again taken
M her old posish at Hopefield, never
more to be seen in the bends below until
times got better.
A popular error exists that Mrs. Too
dies is dead, but we are prepared to dis
prove that delusion, as she still lives in
the person Of 8 eOtemporaTy. She is
alive and sill pursues her old inclination
Of visiting auctions and making bar
| gains. The present Mrs. ToOdles made
a purchase Of five pairs Of boots at a
sale Q few days ago, because they were
so handy 10 have in the house 7" but
Judge of her modification, on going
home, to find that they were all odd,
| not a mated pair among them. They
were again rushed back TO auction and
| sold at = loss of some - So We can't be
exact, but DuTff knows all the facts.
We stated in our last that the msgnifi-
cent steamer r. E. Lee would probably
set pegs at Cairo for other fast steamers
to jump at, and Notwithstanding that
she had on board pilots who did not
know the cut offs-who, in fact, had been
20 Cairo but once since 1862, and who
therefore had to shape the river, " as
boatmen say, n u the bends-she
made the trip from port to port in sey-
enteen hours and twelve minutes, the
fastest time on record. This is an extra
ordinary run, when the rate at which
the river is falling is taken into consider
alton, and proves, we think, cOnclusively
that with the advantages Of close pilots
and the cut offs she can make the trip in
fifteen hours.
A pleasant party consisting, among
others, of Capt. Henry Smith, president
-zAe st. Louis packet line, and Mr..
Z. B. Byington, the popular ticket agent
of the line, came down on the Belle
Memphis Sunday evening. They re-
turn on the City of Alton this evening.
A very great amount Of sediment hE
been left upon our levee by the retreat
ing river. In many places it is from
three to four feet thick. The wharf
master, Capt. wilkins, is making evAy
effort to remove it with the too limited
force at his command. He should have
more laborers st his disposal.
ANorfolk steamboat captain has been
arrested for ejecting q celored "lady"
from a cabin allotted to white women"
The world moves.
The following is one among other res
olutions adopted by the convention of
steamboatmen held last week ia st.
Louis:
ResolUed, That we recommend the
New Orleans Tightening and Wreeking
company to the steamboat and ship own
ers, and also to the produce dealers and
underwriters of the whole country, as
one whose success will largely benefit
the country and increase the business of
steamboats, and ships, and as being a
project worthy of encouragement and
assistance.
Point Pleasant, a few miles below New
Madrid, must be an exceedingly pleasant
place to live in. On Saturday last, we
learn from a passenger on the Belle
Memphis, three men were killed, one of
whom had cut anOtber's head off with
an axe a few days previous. When the
Belle passed, a party with guns etc.,
were out on the hunt Of the parties who
did the last killing and had expressed
the determination of putting out their
lights on sight. II Memphis dont bestir
herself Point Pleasant will wear the
horns.
We are indebted to Mr.. Charley Smith
ers, the clever bill clerk of the CONNER
cial for late Arkansas papers.
The Californian, in an editorial on the
Vicksburg packet line, says: /,
"As to the many other remarks which
we have had repeated to US, we care
nothing for beyond the one that the edi-
tor of a leading Memphis paper prom {
ised the line, that Mould the river editor
bis paper again note the derelictions I
Of their boats he would lose his situa ton. ]
When the said chief editor sees proper
to attempt TO make the interests Of our I
people sUbservient to the Interests of any ]
line of packets along the Mississippi river,
we will cut off his patronage as effectu- 9
ally as we have that of the aforesaid {

There is evidently an error in the }
above. The only papers of this city
which have shown up the conduct Of 9
this line in its proper light, are the AP- 3
and AVoeEarhe, and any boast
made by the line about their influence 30 '
far as his paper is concerned, is without q
We are tied 10 no interests
except those Of the people, and advocate (
no monopoly. A line which has not in J
view the accommodation Of the public
md the advancement of the interests OF a
our city, not only has no influence with S
ls, but shall ever fiRd the APPEAL ar I
against them. /
The location Of the projected bridge
over the Ohio river at Louisville has not 8
yet been definitely settled. A route run $

The steamer Imperial was also seized

Of the sum Of 1892 80. She was 50
loaded and probably bonded out. R
