Delightful showers yesterday morning
succeeded by cool breezes and pleasant
Temperature IA heavy storm passed
northwest and west of this locality Sun
day night. Brisk winds aud bounding
pillows relieved the mOnOtonoUs iuscUiv-
ity of the levee vicinity Sunday. Sail
boats were cut in large numbers, and the
amateur sailors seemed to enjoy the in
diligence, which is somewhat g rarity
in these parts, to their fullest capacity.
The day wound up with no serious acct
dents, and save a few duckings received
by the over-ambitious ineXperts, nothing
Of interest occurred .. The departing
packets SUNDAY and yesterday did
passably well in freights and passengers.
1T is a terrible exercise of brain.
muscle to get up a readable river column
these days. The ChicOt Ark Post
says: at is rumorad that the Anchor
line will put a boat in between Pine
Bluff and Little Rock, and deliver
freight at Little Rock via Chicot,
for fifteen cent? per one hun
bred pounds. Here comes another of
these little transactions where the long
est pole gets the persimmons. That is
thanking the subject from point that
has been overlooked. Hurry up the
railroad to Pine Bluf-oppOsitiOn is the
life Of trade.n. Little Rock Gazette,
Saturday: "Water, by the mud-gsuge,
four feet ten inches and falling. Rise Of
two feet reported at Fort Smith to-day.
In port, Mamelle and Ella Hughes.
The Belle OF Texas got scared at the bars
between here and Pine Bluff, and has
'goosed' till high tide comes in, The
neat and comfortable Mamelle makes
her bow to the wharf to-day at five
o'clock for Fort Smith and the bars. She
expects to return, however, If two feet
scant will be allowed her. 1t was re-
ported that the Ella Hughes had pulled
up to the bank to await better times and
water, but her posters say she can't stay.
She leaves at five O'Clock to-day for
above. She failed to reach Fort Smith
last trip Oh account OF low water, but
will maybe get in her work this trip"
...... Marine circles are in perfect tur-
mol about the prospects for the coming
season. In every "circle" we vieited
yesterday, we heard nothing else talked
Of but steamboat lines and rumOrs of
steamboat lines to be put into the differ
ent trades on the opening Of the fall
business, until we have arrived at the
conclusion that If one-fOuTth of the
! schemes contemplated are carried out,
| before the season is half through there
will be any amount of steamboat prop
| erty for sale at five cents on the dollar.
| From all appearances there will be
| nothing but cut-throat business con-
Quoted everywhere. 1t is great pity
that marines cannot be reasonable when
| being so will rebound to the interest Of
all. Among the On-diS, we learned re-
liabiy that Captain Jim Lee has pur-
| chased the Quickstep to run in cOnnec.
! ton with the Allin in the Friars Point
trade, or that trade will be extended if
circumstances yet to develop require it.
| The rumors that Captain Basket had
| purchased the Grey Eagle to run indie.
| pendent from here to Napoleon lacks
confirmation, as it is thought that if
| teen thousand dollars is too low a
figure for that boat to be sold for.
| Whatever may be done in the
trades below Memphis, we are Of opin-
| ion that there will be lively contest
which can be summed up as q successful
result to the longest purse, IS it certainly
viii be carried on tter-war-tO-the-hilt
as regards freights, in which the shipper
will come out biggest winner. With the
lights before us we offer our services on
liberal terms to write steamboat obitu-
| aries on short notice.. Captain Milt
Harry will purchase a boat during his
| absence to take the place of the Quick
step in the White river trade...... The
Belle of Texas goes out for Arkansas;riv-
er this evening in command of Captain
Reube Halnes...... The Belle Memphis,
for st. Louis, end the Capitol City, fer
Vicksburg, passed yesterday evening.
The Belle Memphis brought in good
trip of grain and produce.....,T The Cons

this morning receiving for her re-
turn to Cincinnati o-morroW.... w rk
on the repairs to the Mary Ament will
begin in day or two, 80 that she will be
in trim for the business season. Captain
Joplin says he will make it lively for any
one who wants to put il their shovel.
Besides what is talked Of here in the
way of big things for the fall trade, Gin
cinnati and st. Louis are making calcU-
latiOn for finger in the pie; and then,
it is said, New Orleans is going to ex-
tend her lines above Vicksburg, even as
high up as Helena. We never thought
we would have money enough to buy a
steamboat, but we have laundering
| notion that if we can raise q five-dollar
william next fail we can possess OurseIf
of a gOod-siZed wet-ender at least ........
The st. Genevieve, for st. Louis, is the

to-day, and she gets away at seven
o'clock this morning. Captain stack

she enters the new trade with the Phil

ward squirt, to the extent Of couple OF
feet, at Little Rock Sunday, but declined
almost as rapidly......TheB Big Sunfower,
which passed here Saturday, is en- route
to Cincinnati to receive additions to her

cOmmodious. The Cons. MiIlar will be
in to-day from Cincinnati, and leave on
her return tomorrow evening. The
Cons. Millar is new boat, in command
OF clever gentlemen, and worthy the
patronage OF the public. man died
suddenly on fisherman's fiat, moored
just below the elevator, Sunday night,
and yesterday morning the coroner held
an inquest over his remains, the verdict
being death from natural causes. He
was GOGtshed off to that "eity OF the
dead" where tombstones seldom grow,
and fills an almost nameless grave.
Captain Basket was III the city yester
day, but this chronicler failed to see and
tap him for all he knew about the fall
