FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
The Natchez Democrat says the Belle of
Texas is now making regular trips between
Pine Bluff and Memphis.
L. L. Jones patent cOndensers recently
placed on the City of Helena, have proved
perfect success. On recent trip up the
Helena made the run from White River to
Helena in ten hours and thirty-tive minutes.
This included nine landings and the towage
OF fiat until 100 boxes of coal We're taken
therefrom, and the steam pressure was % lbs.
on the square inch less than that heretofore.
The distance is 1874 miles; deducting the
usual allowance for the landings and the tow
age, a speed of fourteen and a half miles per
hour was maintained. The remarkable result
was not obtained by an increased consump-
ton Of fuel, but with less than the quantity
usually burnt. We learn that the Anchor
Line intend to put the condensers on all Of
their steamers. They have been thoroughly
tested. and proven to give more steam with a
large per centage less fuel, thereby effecting
large saving in that most expensive item OF a
steamboat.
Shreveport Times. From the lights
before us we should judge there
was no prospect OF any rise above here
until another rain. At Denison the river was
falling on Wednesday, and at Fulton it was
dead low. bat on a stand. The jeff. limp.
has nothing favorable to say Of the bayou at
that point, from which we infer that the pesky
thing is not at home-otf probably at a camp
meeting, or something OF the kind. If the
Jimplec,de would Just whoop up things up
that way we might hope for something good,
but. alas the limp. has lost its grip
About midday yesterday the Era No. 10
came into port from New Orleans with good
freight, including los bales of cotton for this
market, which she picked up at the different
landings on the coast this side Of Conshatta.
We had slight sprinkle Wednesday night,
though hardly enough to lay the dust. Yes
terday morning broke on us with clouds try
ing to obscure the sun, but they did not sue
coed to any extent. As fast as they would
cover him up in one place he would break ont
in another. and at last they became disguised
and left him alone in his glory. Then he just
threw out the heat and fooled everybody into
believing it was summer. Most every out
door man shed his coat and the mocking
birds sweetly warbled ''mild September
Shippers should bear in mind that the Era
No. 10 will sail for New Orleans to-day She
will be followed by the Carrie A. Thorn. We
should be able to ship off some 1900 bales of
cotton this week, which will relieve us mate
rally. The way cotton is coming in now we
would be able to load two or three large boats
a week. besides what the rail takes OF.
From St. Louis Republican:
Commodore RollingstOne, Of the aquatic,
who is shortly to deliver 4 lecture on the bed
doin's-or Bedouins. we forget which-of the
Father of Waters, yesterday suffered the an
gush of having three molar and two canine
teeth extracted in order t" tit his mouth for
the coming duty on the 1ostrume Il was
Demosthenes who carried atone IN his
mouth for weeks to perfect his pronuncia-
ton. but Carter has reversed the order and
taken out the stones that nature planted in
the hole in his head. We notice quite an iA.
provement in the speech Of onr FRIEND
There is kind of whistle at the emf Of
each word which will add greatly % the
effect Of humorous lecture. Besides, since
the topic touches on the Mississippi, he will
be able to tell more feelingly the effect Of res
moving snags from the mouth of that river.
The departures were the Glencoe and barge
for New Orleans with . rather light trip.
This. however, may not be bad thing,
owing to the low water. The Jaeger left with
about 400 tons. The St. Joseph and Capitol
City departed on time with light trips.
