Mr.. VIM. T. Steiger has presented a
plan to the Secretary of the Treasury
for the better protection of life on steam
boats, and the plan by him has been re-
ferred to the Board of Steamboat In
spectors at New York. 1t is this: To
have separate independent water and
steam gauges on conspicuous part of
the passenger deck, plainly labeled
safety-gauges, water, and steam,
surrounded with case or cases under
lock and key; the latter to be kept by
the inspector, whose duty it should be TO
examine them carefully; to see to it that
they are in perfect working order, espe-
cially should there be any disagreement
with the engineers gauges. They should
show by sliding Indicator the pounds
of pressure allowed and the minimum
water-line of safety, 80 that any passen-
ger may see at glance when his life
and limb are in danger, and raise the
alarm"
A heavy fog covered the river and bot
tom lands this morning until sunrise, de-
laying steamers until late hour.
The Legal Tender left for Paducah
yesterday. She will be repaired and re-
fitted before she again enters the White
river trade.
Captains Hicks and Green, of the
Belle Lee and Richmond, are still in the

At Louisville one day last week Geo.
tSlaughter, eolored cook on the steamer
Sandy, tried kindling fire with coal
oil, when the can exploded, burning his
face and breast very badly, though his
injuries will not prove fatal The boat
had narrow escape from destruction,
and George came within one of going to
kingdom come"
The st. Louis Republican says: "The
Mississippi remains about the same, with
five and half feet scant from here to
Cairo. The bars are showing them
selves all the way down. The shoalest
place is at Gibsons. 1t is reported that
boats double-trip this bar, without trying
to go over even with a moderate trip.
The river has never been known to be
in a worse condition for navigation
than at the present time"
St. Louis and New Orleans rates will
in all probability be advanced again to-
day, and should the river get much
lower rates will run up to dollar per
barrel on -four, and other freight in pro-
portion.
The new steamer City of Helena Will
be ready for service in three weeks. 1t
is reported that the citizens of Helena
are having an elegant set of colors made
and will present them to her on her first
trip there.
1t is an easy matter for the city to
vote 100000 to build railway but
quite difficult task to induce the city
fathers to appropriate even a thousand
dollars to repair our fast-disappearing
levee.

The river is stationary at this point,
with but seven and one-half feet over
some of the shoals below and about the
same depth above to Cairo, and between
there and st. Louis five and one-hali
feet is the depth reported at the cross
ings. The decline at Cairo and st.
Louis continues, and unless the channel
cuts out rapidly steamers will have
much difficulty in making their way
over the bars between the points named.
The Ohio is stationary at Evansville,
but falling at all other points. The
Illinois and Missouri are low, and no
immediate prospect of any improve
ment. The Arkansas and White rivers
are falling c'owly, with barely enough in
the former to float our light-draught

feet to Jacksonport. The weather is

During the early. part Of the week just
passed trade in almost every branch
opened with an activity that surprised
even the most sanguine of our merchants,
and for the first few days the dizziness of
tie week previous had entirely been for
gotten, when later in the week major
ity of our merchants found that the in
creased trade was due mainly to an in
crease in their country orders, the mer-
chants in the interior having previous to
this time purchased very sparingly. In
dry goods this was not shown, however,
as strongly as in boots and shoes, and
in hardware but little was done besides
the usual season trade. There has been
some slight reductions in certain styles
of goods in the Eastern dry goods mar
kets, but the staple articles are yet firm;
in fact, as we have stated on several oc-
casions, the last advance in New
York and other markets was not taken
advantage Of by our merchants,
they selling all the time at or under
New York prices, and now that a decline
is noticed there it should not follow that
Memphis merchants should also reduce
quotations. On several occasions during
the past week, and even to-day, our
largest dealers in dry goods and boots
and shoes offer to duplicate New York
or Boston bills, and this they can do
with living profit from the fact that
freights from the East have been nine
per cent cheaper to this point than to
either Louisville, Cincinnati or st. Louis.
In one or two cases rates have been as
low as 45c per 100 pounds from New
York. but to-day an advance Is anticir
mated BY all the different agents. There
are no changes TO note in prices OF
boots and shoes as yet, but from present
indications the stocks will be short in
the East and the result will be an adj
vance in prices there as well as here.
In hardware nothing new or interesting
can be said. The provision market has

A Romantic Attnnhma nj.

Last Friday the passengers in Tn
ladies car Of the train bound south ov,
the Mississippi and Tennessee raiL-oao
we're attracted by the appearance Of a
stalwart son Of Scotland seated by the
side of a tall, rosy checked maiden of
unmistakable Scotch appearance, whom
it was evident had just arrived from the
land Of cakes. The happiness which
beamed from the countenance of the
man, and the subdued CLEAN Of pleas
ure which occasionally shot from the
eye Of the maiden, told plain tale of
love and marriage in the roseate state
of honeymoon. The curiosity of
several passengers brought forth the tale
Of sentiment from the groom. Six years
ago he plighted his faith to the maiden
seated by his side, beneath the shadow
of Ben Lomond, and they parted, he to
seek fortune in America, and she to re-
main until success crowned his efforts,
when the twain would be made one. In
six years he was so far successful as to
be able to send for his betrothed, and
she came across the ocean and half way
over the American Continent to meet
her lover. They met last Thursday in
this city, were m arried, and on Friday
took the train for Horn Lake, Miss,
n. 4 II
The girl of the period and |
the bellies Of fashion may laugh at such
an exhibition of affection and eonstancy,
yet it was telling satire on fashionable
life to witness so refreshing an example
Of Arcadian simplicity and faith. To
the constant swain and faithful maiden
we cannot wish aught else but peace, joy
and prosperity.
