low water, with full nine feet to Cairo
and ten feet below. Cumberland river
has almost gone dry. The Ohio is
exceedingly low, with scant four feet at
Caseyville, Cottonwood and French Is

slowly, and the Illinois is improving.
The Arkansas, most uncertain stream at
ali seasons of the year, is again rising
six inches day at Little Rock, and has
swollentwo feet at Fort Smith. Other
lower tributaries are low. The weather
is scorching hot, and the mercury stand

The weather furnishes an exhaustless
theme for conversation to young people.
Repeatedly you hear the gentleman say
ing, "Itis extremely hot this evening""
and the lady replying, Yes, | think it
is hotter than it was this morning" to
which the gentleman assents, and says,
But it is not so hot as it was last
night to which the lady assepts, and
says, 1@Ifit Is as hot toSmorrow,4 don't
know what shall do" to which again
the gentleman gives his assent, and goes
on to say, "But l don't think it is posi-
BILE forit to be hotter than it was yester-
day" to which the lady gives her assent,
and the subject is continued at some
length. Naturally enough as they
sit on the. porch, the moonlight,
silvering tho trees. comes in for a
few side remarks, in which the
moor and stars are casually referred TO.
For so barren q topic as the weather.
and al topic SO little understood as as
tronomyit i wonderful how much can
be made out Of It by two young people
on porch. This Dundreary business is
carried on for few hours, but it usually
switches off into sentiment OF a person
al character which causes Silence and
abstraction on the part of the lady, and
illustration on the part of the gentleman.
During this painful silence in each mind
a panorama is unrolled, kaleidoscope,
changing from vows TO- churches, a min
lister standing solemnly above pair Of
culprits, cottage home and Cupid taken
in as regular boarder and lodger, and
SO rolls on the scene until the charm is
broken by the good night on the
porch" which creates an echo and dis
turbs the slumbers of the house dog.

When will it. rain? We are now
having the warmest nights of the sum-
mer. o Business, in a wholesale way is
beginning to "look up" It's rumored
that the Fat Contributor will lecture in
Memphis during the winter. Suburban
residents are anxious for rain to lay the

An exchange says the price of cottonis
regulated by the planters necessities,
and not by the size of the crop; our
merchants need not be reminded that
the fall trade promises"to be unusually
large, and that to secure as much Of it
as rightfully belongs TO Memphis, . little
printers ink is required. The Govern
ment has at last decided upon the size
and style of the ,neY postal card, and
will probably have them ready for dis
tributicn by the first of October. Per-
sons who are compelled to be on the
streets much during these days Of "soft

Memphis is probably the only city in the
Union having a population exceeding
fifty thousand that has not a swimming

that Greeley will be elected. There is
said to be but one Democrat in Mem
phis who won't vote for Greeley, and he
is not Blanton Duncan man either.
Eight hundred convicts of this State are

HUNTED DOWN. 1861 man named
Westbrook killed Mr. Harris at Bates
vile, Miss, was arrested for the crime,
and after preliminary examination
committed to Jail without bail. At this
time civil war was in progress, and
legal tribunals were not operating the
smoothest in the world, so that West.
brooks trial was not speedy before the
courts. While still confined in Jail the
Federal forces took possession Of the
town Of Pamela, where the Jail was To-
Gated, and liberated Westbrook, together
With a number of other prisoners.
Eleven years after the first incarcera-
ton of Westbrook FOR this murder he
was rearrested in Arkansas for the same
otfense, taken back to Mississippi on a
requisition from the Governor andre
incarcerated in the Pamela county Jail,
to await his trial for the murder done by
him eleven years ago.
