PURLIO DEDQEh
MEMPHIS. Tenn, February 20. 1881
The receipts of cotton are increasing
daily. and now that the entire country
below is threatened with a flood, plan
ters will use every effort to secure as
much as they can and get it to market
There is little relaxation as regards
money, and in many cases the banks
have called upon evercheckers to make
their accounts good, anticipating per-
haps increased receipts of cotton and a
lively business, which they will in this
manner provide for. The demand for
money is not pressing, however, but may
be towards the end Of the month, as col
lections about that time will b. heavy.
Exchange is in moderate supply, and
cotton bills are Offering freely. The
discount rates are i@sc on New Orleans,
&c on New York, bankers checks on
all points being sold at par. Gold is
ll43 premium in New York to-day, and
is worth ll32 to dealers. Local invest
ments are dull. For city skies,
with two past-due coupons, 56@563c
is the price with few sellers. Deal
ers report past-due coupons in demand
at 94c for July, 1872, and 50 for January
1873, while either cannot be found at
less than l@2c higher. State warrants
are quoted 97@99c, and Shelby county
scrip s5@ssc buying and selling. Bank
of Tennessee money, old issue, is scarce
at 97@98c, and the new issue dull. Mem
phis and Charleston railroad shares are
offered in lots Of 400 at Csc.

THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.

THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The rise in the river here continues at
the rate of one foot each day, and is
gradually subsiding, but the danger OF
an overflow or rather food is fully as
great as ever, as it will be observed by
the signal kilograms published above
that the rise at Cairo is increasing, and
on yesterday was two feet-the water
extending above the top of the gauge
there; while at Cincinnati at midnight
last night and during the preceding
six hours it rose three feet, and is to-
day rising very fast. All this water,
with the prolonged and heavy rise from
the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers,
is almost sure to cause disaster, and yet
we have the Pittsburg rise to come
after that. The outlook certainly indi-
Gates huge spread of the great Father
of Waters, and once more we caution
those living in the valleys below to pre-
pare for the worst. The Arkansas is
stationary to day, but will be rising
again in few days, and White river is
pouring out its mite to help the great
aow of water to the gulf. The weather
is warm and cloudy.
BUSINESS.
The City of Cairo arrived last evening
and left at 2 o'clock this morning, lay
ing over for some fifty people from
Louisville who came by rail. The For
sythe came up, and after coaling left with
GIG boxes and 23O hogsheads sugar for
St. Louis, &c casks wine and 80 bales
moss for Cairo. The Crescent City and
tow followed her up, and about ii
o'clock last night the Arlington, from
Cincinnati. arrived with 500 tons, the
largest item of which was l40 tons Of
bulk meat. The Mary Boyd left at 10
o'clock in the evening, and the Probasco
left about midnight, taking 100 bales
of cotton. The Belle Lee came up this
morning with 81 bales cotton, 80 hogs
heads sugar, GO barrels, so half do. and
81 kegs molasses, 10 sacks coffee, 80
barrels potatoes, so boxes tin, 763 bum
dies ties and POI boxes sundries, besides
her cabin crowded with people. The
great Thompson Dean came down this
morning and has 1885 tons of freight
and l27 cabin passengers, which, with a
bridal party of eight from st. Louis will
fill her up full. Even before she left
Cairo she refused numerous Geographic
applications for state-rooms. The Phil
Allin brought 3O7 bales Of cotton and
9s2 sacks Of seed. The Marble City,
from St. Louis, arrived with 500 tons Of
produce and merchandise for this city,
including 4Oll dry barrels and 227O

CAUGHT AT LAST.

Our readers have heretofore been treated
to several amusing though strictly truthful
descriptions of exciting chases Of the Jolly
hunters Of Mission, Rutland and Serena in
pursuit of a big black wolithat infested those
regions. The hunters would scour up THEN
old rifles and shot guns, mount their best
horses, muster their packs of - or 30 hounds
and make chase. Anon the wolf would be
seen on a leisurely dog trot few hundred
rods ahead The hounds would make a dash
then suddenly drop their tails and stink
away. The iratc hunters would discharge
their ordnance, the wolf would disappear in
the smoke, and the chopfallen hunters would
90 home disguised
Strange legends began to be atiOat about
that mysterious black wolf, aud many IN
ancient lady, and some not 50 ancient, began
to entertain the belief that instead of Il wolf,
it was the roaring lion " the preachers oc.
casionally talk about, in the disguise of a
wolf Flesh or spirit-tcnant of earth or
goblin damncd-howcver the farmers sheep,
chickens, calves, pigs, &c, disappeared all
the same. Finally on Thursday morning OF
the present week, Mr. George Grove, living
near the old Chicago road about i've miles
northeast of Ottawa, hearing an uncommon
commotion among his pigs about ) O'Clock
in the morning, ventured to peer out, and
there, large as ever, was the mysterious, incv-
liable wolf Mr.. Grove is prudent man,
and keeps always in his house a loaded,
trusty rifle, tU burglars, patent agents or
any other providers, and with a nerve that
does him infinite credit, he drew q steady
bead on the aforesaid wolf, devil, or whatever
it might be. The shot proved square one
in the head, and that spirit succumbcd with
out kick, Approaching his game, he found
it she wolf, black all over except four
white feet, large as a common pointer dog,
with teeth like,-well, like wolf An hour
or two later he brought his trophy to town,
where it excited quite general interest. The
wolf is pretty badly mixed with dog, but
pure enough To cntitle the gallant hunter 70
his bounty, for certainly no pure blood H.
pine could have been more damaging to the
neigh borhood.

can, the organ of the city council and which
doubtless speaks by authority, admits that
the posts and railing ought to be replaced,
but says the reason why the council refuse to
do so is, because an attempt has been made
to drive or bully them into the discharge of

and humbly begging them to do it. If their
high mightinesses think it will prove com

plain duty on point touching their dignity {!
we venture to make the prediction that they
will wake up some morning and find that
they have made melancholy mistake.
