RIYER, BUSINESS, MIscELLANEous.

To-day is another scorcher. There is not
quite eight feet in the channel to Cairo. but
fully that depth over the shoals below. The
river is falling at Cairo. but is again rising at
st. Louis. Reports from the Illinois and Mis-
souri, state that heavy rains have fallen along
those streams and a rise is expected in each,
as well as in the upper Mississippi. The
lower Ohio is declining, but at Cincinnati and
Pittsburg it is rising to-day from the rains
yesterday and the day before. White river
and the Arkansas are declining, and naviga-
ton in the latter is becoming somewhat diff
cult.
The Pauline Carroll passed down for New
Orleans and the Julia for Vicksburg after our
issue of yesterday. each with good trips. The
departures included the city of Vickburg for
st. Louis, with fair trip, the Mary Boyd for

Grand Tower. Passengers and shippers will
find her at the wharfboat ready to leave at her
usual hour, pm. Captain Lennox com
mands and Mr.. Baskette is clerk.
The Grand Tower came down just before
noon, with a fair list of freight and goodly
number Of people.
The Emile La Barge passed up at midnight,
from New Orleans.
The Celeste, from the Arkansas, came in
this morning. with 100 sacks cotton seed, 1Ss
bales cotton. and re-shipped l3 bales at the

Point
The White river railroad packet Usage,
Captain John B. Davis, will leave Devall's
Bluff Monday on arrival of the train from
this city, and carry passengers to Des Arc,
Augusta and Jacksonport.
The regular Saturday United States mail
steamer for all points on White river is the
Thos. Ii. Allen. She is now at the landing
receiving and will back out at FIVE o'clock
precisely for all points as far up as Jackson
port. Ed Outlaw is her clever secretary.
The steamers Little Rock and Fort Gibson
are choking stump at the bank at Little
Rock.
The Lady Lee, Captain Carter, will arrive
Monday morning and leave at noon for JEFF
ferson, Shreveport and all intermediate land
ings on Red river and the Mississippi. She is

Our Next county Fair.

The third annual fair of the Memphis
Agricultural and Mechanical Society
will be held on the grounds of the soci-
ETY. in October next. On Tuesday, Oc-
tober 18th, the cash premiums of $4,000
will be distributed among those attend
ing the fair. The price of tickets for
that day will be two dollars, each holder
having chance in the premiums, which
number four hundred and eighty-one,
and amount to $4,000. The board of
directors will appoint a committee OF
award, which will be a sufficient guaran-
tee that perfect fairness will control the
distribution. The object of the society
in presenting this scheme is to raise suf-
ficient funds to erect suitable buildings
and improvements. Tickets for the
grand cash premium distribution can be
had of the general agent, Mr.. w. ID.
Bates, at the Memphis and Charleston
railroad depot, or of his sub-agents,

The Louisville Ledger thinks the indica-
tons are favorable for the centinuanc Of the
Arkansas river line. and says; Merchants
are responding to the call of the finance COM
mittee. and when the river rises we are likely
to be in steamboat connection with the towns
on the Arkansas" The response is doubtless
akin to that mentioned in the fable Of the cat
and the fire.
The Albany Ledger says: "The Wharfmas-
ter has been instructed to mako the new
steamer. Emma G. Elliott. haul away from
her present moorings. Captain Crider, of the
Rose Hite. complained to the Council that he
had sustained injuries by her lying in her
present position, and proposes to make the
city liable for the damages"
Captain Haney, of the Carrie Il. Kountz.
states that there would be no lawsuit between
the Carrie and Howard. They had settled
everything without the slightest misunder-
standing. Bo also says that the Carrie was
aground only short time after the Howard
got off.

The MonongaheIa has become so low that
the mail boats find it very difficult to navi-
gate. even in slack water, while thc.Alegheny,
it is alleged by some, is lower than it has been
since 1874.
The st. Joseph is again placed in commits

The Jim Fisk blew out the joint of her

Captain Albert Stein, having quit the P. W.
Strader, will run the John Kilgour to. New
Orleans. Tie bought that boat lately for $780,
900, and put on her repairs costing $4,000.
A Pittsburg telegram of the I'D says: " 1t is
reported that many of the coal barges in the
Monongahela river are hard on the bottom.
and it is feared that their seams will open. so
that when there is water they will leak badly"
An Evansville telegram says: The Ar

The Memphis part of Price, Jones q
Col Business Directory has been placed
on our table. 1t is as perfect as it can
possibly be, and includes all our business

Der of business men the publishers have

the following towns in Arkansas, all OF
which are situated along the line of the
Little Rock railway, viz: Madison, For
rest City, Brinkley, Devalls Bluff, Lo-
noke and Huntersville. These towns

Nothing Of importance has transaired

almost certainty that they will be re-
deemed at an early date. The demand
here is, however, limited, and only an
occasional purchase is made by our

The non-arrival of the St. Louis packet
until late hour retarded trade in pro-

ments of grain, feed and provisions
were expected. The jobbing business
is also light, and excepting a few light

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
A Guusmfth shoots Himself Dead
while Cleaning n Pistol.

Louis Schuman, well-known gun
smith, residing at lO9 Beal street, shot
himself through the heart, accidentally,
at one o'clock this afternoon. Mr..
Schuman was in the back room Of his
workshop, on Beal street, and was en-
gagged in cleaning small-sized Colts
revolver, when the accident took place.
His brother, Frank Schuman, was work
ing at bench in the front part of the
shop; he heard the report OF a
pistol in the back room, and
Louis came staggering out looking pale
as death, and with his left hand pressed
to his side. He grasped the bench with
both hands, and said hurriedly, Frank,
| have shot myself. I'm dead man"
Frank caught him and asked him if he
could walk up stairs. He replied, |
can't" He sank on the floor, and was
carried up stairs, but he never spoke
again. In few minutes after being car
ried up he was dead man. He leaves
a wife and four children who were de-
pendent on him for support. The ball
passed into his body about two inches
