We had the pleasure of meeting in our
city yesterday Lowd Walden, Esq, who is
engaged on the Bossier, running in connec-
ton with the Henry Tete in the Bayou La
fourche trade. He was accompanied to the
city by Capt. Joe Dalferes, whose popularity
in the above trade is only excelled by his
good looks. Here's hoping they had
Happy time in the burg and a safe return

tressed mother by publishing this item"
Read what Falton of Arkansas has to say
about the river and business matters at
Little Rock.
Our typos made mistake yesterday after
noon. Edward Devlin was not master of
the E. Hensley, but the mate of her. Capt.
VIM BrothertOn is the master of her, and is
a worthy gentleman.
Capt. Geo. D. Hite informed us last even
ing chat the Selma had passed Bayou Sara,

day Shreveport packet, she will positively
leave this evening. She goes, sure pop.
The ST. Mary was taken over to Algiers
yesterday noon, and is now under the
exclusive charge Of Boss Packard.
LITTLE Rock, April 10, 1874.
Friend Kerr-A cold, disagreeable rain
commenced falling here on Tuesday night,
and closed yesterday Thursday forenoon,
with regular snow storm, which is rather
a remarkable thing for this climate; the
thermometer stood at 40 degrees during the
day.
This morning we have IA feet inches wa
ter by the Government guage, and rising
rapidly.
The steamer GAINESVILLE left this morning
for Memphis with fair trip; the Ashland
is due from above to-day, bound for New
Orleans The John Howard has passed Pine
Bluff on the way up, and will probably ar
rive tonight, and leave on Sunday for New
Orleans.
Weather clear and pleasant to day. No
ether river news Of Importance. Business
dull. Yours, FULTON.

MEMPHIS, April 11-Noon.
Nothing Of especial interest has transpired
in river circles since my note of yesterday.
The river has fallen since then inches, and
the water level to-day is 81 #. 4inches above
low water mark, making total decline
since the I'd inst: of 2 feet 10 inches. 1t is
now A feet inches below the high water
mark of 1867, and will fall considerably
from the break at Hushpuckana, unless the
washing of the levee there is stopped, but,
the rise now coming down the Cumberland,
Tennessee, Wabash, and, in fact. all the low
er and some of the upper tributaries of the
Ohio WILL to a certain extent, check the de-
cline here, while the swell from the Arkan-
sas, White and Ouachita will swell the river
below those streams.
The Capitol City, up, added IS bales of
cotton, and the st. Genevieve, down, last
evening, dlutU ~ tOLS lOT NlCkSDufS anu
points this side. The Dugan left for the Ar
kansas with light trip, even after laying
a week through bad weather to get it. The
Commonwealth went down at o'clock last
evening, adding few packages here, but got
no cotton, nor did she add anything this
side of Cairo. She got $50 tons there how
ever, and has, among the largest items for
New Orleans, 31OO sacks oats, 900 do. malt,
1000 do. corn, 500 barrels pork, 1900 do.
flour. 1900 do. meal, 100 do. whisky, 100
tierces bacon and 100 coops poultry, to say
nothing of that beautiful pair of antlers and
the pretty flag presented to Capt. Shields in
st. Louis.
The Inspectors gave the Quickstep
hydrastatic pressure of 200 pounds to the
square inch last evening, which she stood
WELL and which makes her steam carry
ing pressure (allowed) 135 pounds. She
runs well on much less than that, how
ever, and can-so her mate says-make
enough steam with lighted tallow candle
under her boiler to carry her to White River
