PITTsBURG.-The Commercial of
Thursday says:
Trade in the vicinity Of the landing
was active yesterday. There was a
fair amount of shipments. The wharf
being in better condition, activity was
the order of the day.
The Carrie. Captain Brady, is load
ing for the Idaho gold mines. The
Allegheny River remains closed 10
the head-waters. The Monongahela
is in fine navigable order the entire
length.
The Louisville papers have been
" casing " considerably during the
past five months, especially as regards
the new steamers Belle Lee and Frank
Pargoud. Abiding to the latter, the
journal says:
The mirror which is to decorate
the cabin of the new steamer Frank
Pargoud is of such an immense size. 4
that a space will have to be cut
lengthwise through her cabin floor In
order to get it into the cabin. The
cabin doors are by far too small for IL. 2
This little piece of wind work !"
receives the following from a cores
pondent of the Vicksburg Times
Now, l have suggestion to make,
viz. That where such huge mirrors
are to be used, they should be put up
first, aud the cabin be built around
it. 1t is manifestly absurd to build
the cabin first, if 10 has to be cut
to pieces again for the sake of
a looklng-glass; hence my suggestion.
Can you recommend this idea to the
reporters of the Louisville Courier
and journal? As Will 5. Hays, of the
Democrat, is a poet and musical com
poser, i cant hope to make him see
the utility of the idea.
CINCINNATI. - The Commercial OF
Friday says:
The towboat Peytona, from Evans
Vile, discharged 49, 1872 sacks of corn
at the foot of Fifth Street.
Parties at Belle Air have purchased |
the hull of G. e. Hillman for $1,000. |
for wharfboat purposes. Her texas
has been transferred to the little
steamer Ell Paso for her cabin.
LoUIsvILLE.-The Courier Of Fri
lay says:
On the falls last evening there were
'our feet six inches water in the pass
Down the Indian chute, and slowly
swelling. AZ f.g... a4nes}
The Minneola, from Memphis, ar.
lived yesterday with full load of
cotton, some 1914 bales, which the
Evansville Journal says is the biggest
Dad yet.
Didn't the Choetaw, Captain Silver,
BRING about 5000 bales of cotton to
L louisville few years ago2
We never heard of the Choctaw or
Ter 5000 bales. The Cincinnati pa
,ers declared the Silver Moons the
argest load of cotton ever brought up
he Ohio River on one boat, and the
Iinneola had, we believe, seventy
id bales more than the Moon.
The Evansville Courier of yester
ay says that on the last trip of the
one deckhand fell over
,oard and was fshed out alive; an
ther was stabbed In the back By
aessmate and left at Cairo. and they
ad a high old time generally.
We guess the Evansville Courier
eversaid that. The item was clipped
rom the JOURNAL and credited to
he Courier.
