The Shreveport Times, Of fthesixteenth
instant, copies the following from the
| st. Louis Democrat: "The Belle of
| Shreveport run and handles well. Her
owners are perfectly satisfied with her
in every respect. But for the breaking
Of her wheel chain she would have been
here on Friday, making the round trip
in good time. Sine went into New Or
leans drawing seven and half feet,
with eight hundred and ten tons freight
on board. The Belle draws only six feet
four inches forward, and five feet four
/ inches aft. She is a valuable craft. :"
And, then, the Times comments as fol-
lows: She is a valuable craft, is she?
Well, we don't know but that she is, if
you tell her by the feet and inches you
make her draw. If we recollect Alright,
sometime since you gave a Memphis
paper HI for making the Republic
draw ten or dozen feet more than
her actual draught, and now you
have "gone and done" the same thing
with our beautiful Belle Of Shreveport
One foot four inches forward and two
feet four inches aft would read much
better, and besides, would be nearer the
truth. Although we live out in the
woods we won't have our Belle treated
that way without larruping' her inhu-
man sponsors. Messrs. Garter & Conn,
will please forward a stove pipe hat at
once for this notice. We draw "a when
loaded to the guards"

five barges, which will not do anything
until the weather mOderates.

The new steamer John B. Maude
made her trial trip at st. Louis Mon
day. The Republican says it was sue
cess, and adds this: "She steamed out
from the foot Of Carr street about three
o'clock in the evening, and ran down
within few miles of the barracks, and
on returning landed at the Kountz Line
wharf boat. She is very easily handled
and runs well. A large number of ladies
and gentlemen were on board during
the trip, and were treated to an elegant
repast."
