RIVER MATTERS.
wEATHER Am RTvrua-


LOUISVILLE, July 20-The river Is
rising, with four feet two inches in the
canal. The weather is very warm.
ST.. LOUIS, July 20.-The river Is about
standing at this point
MEMPHIS, July 2I.-Yesterday was
another hot day, but not 80 much so as
Sunday, Saturday, or several other days
Of last week. It was warm enough,
however, to make the shady side of
streets popular with pedestrians. River
reporters and 8 few others who had to
visit the levee where there was no shade
agreed with Mart VISIT that Hit was
too id hot for anything but to drink
cObbiers and sell fce." The river fell
two or three inches in the past twenty
four hours. We say it fell, but we think
It wodid De better to say that three or
four inches Of the top had evRpOrated in
the SUD, leAvfsg that much less in the
channel. White river is falling, with
five feet to Augusta The Arkansas has
three feet to the Rock.
