The Yicksburg HerGJd says: awe learn
that Mr.. ALI. Cutting, of Metropolis, H..
was in city yesterday, for the purpose
of contracting for the building of q wharf
boat for the Merchants Wharfboat AssO-
citation. It is to be three hundred feet
long and nifty feet wide, and to be built
by the first of September next. The Pal
metto left yesterday for Cincinnati, we
understand. We told the people along
the Sunfiower river that she would drop
out of the trade after making all the mo-
ney she could out of them and leave for
Yankeedom."
Durff has sent out a foraging party.
Some of them ave reached J~acksonpOTt,
Ark. The Statesman of that city says:
Eve notice a few Memphis ''mackerels"
basking around our streets.
The same paper says: "The little steamer
Malta, for some time past running from
PocahODtas to Poplar Bluff, and as much
higher as b could get, was sold last week
to Levi Hecht for $1,000. She will pass
down in a few days on her way to Claren-
don with a cargo of corn and bacOn-pro-
ducts of the Current river farmers"
The Dubuque Times, of the the I4th'
says: 1.-THE waters are still gathering
their forces, and have commenced the
work of destruction. In nunleith they
are invading the houses on the fats, and
driving out the inmates. The late
ly constructed ice = breakers above
the bridge, it would seem, are
not proof against them, and one, it
has been reported, has been partly de-
stroyed by the food. Among the lumber
piles there is much floating about, but,
being protected by booms, there will not
be much carried of. The gain for the last
twenty-four hours was six inches, and last
$1,000 hsaL roAa. .u.-l- -
passed. TIL La Crosse Leader reports the
Chippewa rising at the rate of an inch and
a half an hour; also hat a large log jam
exists on the Eau Claire"
A lady passenger on the Pauline Carroll
publishes a letter in the st. Louis Times,
in which she pays g deserved tribute to
Mr.. II. A. Allen, who was recently muir
dered in New Orleans by Van Degraff.
In referring to the newspaper reports
given the day after the killing, she says:
I'm one of them he is called a gambler
Nothing could be more falsel Mr.. d. II.
Kennel, who has been Intimately se-
quainted with him for the past ffteen
years, declared that he never knew him
to play evan q social game Of euchre; that
he used no betting phrases, and always
bore the reputation of being aquiet, unob.
~trusive, honorable, high-toned gentleman.
A gambler must necessarily become cold,

though soretiring and undemoAstrativs
in his manner as TO appear almost misar-
throPic among strangers, was known
amQhg his friends as a man Of warm
sympathies, tender susceptibilities and
generous impulses. He always spoke of
his stately old father and his only sis
ter in terma of the most affectionate
enasAfment, and was devotedly at
tsehed to the memory Of his
mother. She died many years ago, but to
the day OF his death he carried about his
person q lock Of her hair as q sacred me
mento of his earliest and dearest friend,
A man possessing such gentle, loveable
traits of character could not be a Dad
man, and those who knew him best de-
clare him uncommOnly free from the vices
besetting The feeFof men in his walks of
life. Among his s-cquaintances he was Of
ten called upon to act as peace-maker, and
his cool, gentle counsels, offered modest
ly but firmly, were like oil upon the
troubled waters Of strife and dissension.
He had no enemies, for to know him was
to respect and love him, SO honorable and
amiable were the qualities of his noble,
kindly nature"
