THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
After rising to a point within three
feet Of the high water mark Of 1861 the
river is about stationary now, and will
not probably rise more than couple Of
inches more before q decline sets in.
The Ohio and Mississippi are falling at
nearly every point above here, and the
Arkansas is falling, with but seven feet
TO Little Rock. White river has plenty
Of water to Jacksonport, but is falling,
as are also the other lower streams.
The weather continues cool and clear.
BUSINESS.
The levee is as full of freight as it can
conveniently be, and every boat thatar-
rives puts out enough to keep it we'll
filed. The Potomac came down from
the Ohio with 700 tons last evening and
the John B. Maude came up from New
Orleans with first rate upstream trip
and laid over until to-day. The Mary
Alice and barges left for st. Louis about
4 D. M, and the West Wind and Clarks-
VILE left for the Arkansas loaded fiat.
The Cleburne for White river went out
crowded with people and had large
list of freight. The Phil Allin came up
at noon with 1855 bales of cotton, 99l
sacks Of seed, and was crowded with
people. She goes back tonight. To-
day there is a LIZ movement in
freights, and the landing presents an &C.
tive appearance. The Capitol City,
from Vicksburg, came up and put out
lOS bales Of cotton and 200 sacks Of
seed at the elevator and left for st.
Louis with fair way trip. The North
westean, from Cairo, brought two barges
with 76O tons of freight for this city,
and had 600 tons for Vicksburg and
Natchez. The little sternwheeler Look
out, from Browns Landing, eighty miles
above the mouth of Hatchie river, came
from that stream with &C bales of cotton.
BOATS TO LEAVE.
For NEW ORLEANs--The elegant
steamer John B. Maude will get away al
A o'clock this evening for New Orleans
and the bends. She is new, and has
first-class accommodations and fare.
Captain ]. +. Noel and Messrs. Grissom
and Putnam are the officers of the boat,
and if they fail in their endeavors to
make a trip agreeable to those who take
passage on the Maude, it is no fault OF
theirs. She is in the trade to remain,
and will carry all the freight that can be
sent to her by o'clock this evening,
and every time she leaves our merchants
may rest assured that on her return she
will bring them heavy orders for goods.
FoR PINE BLUFF.-The G. w. Cheek,
Captain George Malone, leaves as above
this evening at 5 pm, and makes all
landings on the Arkansas this side of
Pine Bluff. She was compelled to defer
her departure until tonight, as she
could not get pilot.
For FR1AR's PoNT-The Phil Allin,
Captain James Lee, will be in to-day,
and leaves in the evening on her return
to Friar's Point.

MISCELLANEOUS.


In dropping down to the wharfboat
yesterday the West Wind lost about
twenty-five feet of her starboard boiler
deck, by being carried heavily against
the Potomac by gale that was blowing.
She had also few freight packages
knocked overheard.
On her trip down the Alaska handled
IL, 2OS packages of freight, and brought
here 1872 Of that number.
The Little Alps, with two barges,
started for the bends above yesterday.
The Charley Mcdonald, with tow of
empty coal boats, passed up yesterday.
A light snow fell at Pittsburg this
morning. With that exception fair
weather is reported at all up river
cities.
The report comes that the st. Louis
and Lower Mississippi pilots, in and
out Of the Association, are all engaged.
Theieis dearth of pilots consequently,
and, being hard to procure, wages are
liberal at st. Louis, as well as at Louis
vile, Cincinnati aud this city. Just now
two or three Arkansas river pilots could
find plenty Of work here.
Miss Clara B. Cakes, the only daugh-
ter Of Captain Frank J. Cakes, Of the
Crawford House, Of Cincinnati, was mar
ried last Tuesday to Mr.. Frank P.
Byrne. The numerous friends Of Capt.
Oakss and the happy couple will extend
their congratulations. The bridegroom
is vel known hereabouts, aad, as our
Felix says, is one Of the oleverest chaps
that ever wore shoe leather.

FL l'ING LIZARDS.

The Piutes in Utah occupy thei
leisure moments in catching flying liz
ards with sticks curved like the handle
of a cane, and eat them. When a Piute
sees one he extends his stick, and by n
dextrous twist of the wrist spins the
lizard in the air, catching him in his
hands as he comes down. The flesh of
these lizards resembles the meat of a
bull-frog, and they are said to be even
more delicious. AS fast as the Indians
catch them they string them around
their waists and necks, and roast them
one by one, as they become hungry.

says, worth 1000, 900 francs year when
she went to live in Paris, but since then
her income has dwindled down to 500,-

THE GRAPHIC" BALLOON ENTER
PRISE


The failure Of Prof. Wise to carry out
his contemplated balloon voyage across
the Atlantic, caused by the collapse of
the air-ship while it was being inflated
with gas, has not, it seems, discouraged
the managers of the Graphic in the

to renew the enterprise. They promise
that this new air-ship shall possess every
improvement that experience can sug-
