Leyee Reflections.
Weather same as yesterday, and no
rain yet....It would be a good idea to
lease the levee for a stockyard. We are
making very little use Of it......SOme
people are growing about the salt.piles
on the levee. 1t sounds to US something
like the little story about the
dog in the msngeT ......O'S., of the V.
H., has been rusticating in the interior,
and when he fairly resumes his post, his
column will flash with fresh scintilla-
tiOns from his new stock OF witticisms.
We are in breathless anxiety. st.
Louis Republican, Wednesday: SIT re-
quired seventy-five pounds Of nihO-
glycerine to blow thirteen stumps out OF
the way of the steamer w. J. Behan so
she could obtain relief from lake Blister
nau, where the mud and stumps bad
her fast. Captain TennysOn, with the
government boat Sterling, performed
the job, and Captain Joe Wilkinson has
taken bis steamer safely to Shreveport.
1t is said that the Utah, Fannie Tatum,
Ashland, Clarksville and John Howard
are to run in the New Orleans and Ar
kansas river trade the coming season.
Ii c
to get Captain J. G.. Darragh to take
hand in the Pittsburg and Cincinnati
trade. The captain is now in the former
city, having laid up the Belle of Texas
on account of low water.". 1.-The Iii
nois is going to excurt the Vicksburger
in few days. What have we done to
the Illinois? Probsbly the biggest part
Of the Memphis and Vicksburg line is,
like that of toad, at the lower end......
Louisville Ledger, Tuesday evening:
ave understand that Captain Drink
water has bought the Era No, from
Captain Elias Ehler. Captain d. will
build new boat for her machinery to
ply in the Arkansas river"
The heavy driftwood floating by here
yesterday indicates heavy rise in some
of the upper streams, the result of the
heavy transforms of the past few days.
THE Parker is en- route to Memphis,
having repaired her damages so as to be
able to go through all right. If she
meets with no other delay she will be in
port this evening. Captain Wood
burns Rosa Miller, for the Arkansas
river summer season, will be ready the
latter part of next week, when she will
go into the trade on the time Of the Belle
of Texas. ..... A deck passenger, name I'M
known, fell overheard from the Illinois
Wednesday evening while passing Cat |
Island, and drowned. The officers of the |
boat used every exertiOn to rescue the |
unfortunate man, but all to no avail
The Julia, for st. Louis, is the only Ar !
chor-Liner leaving the elevator this |
evening The Memphis and Vicks- |
burg packet Illinois leaves for Vicks- |
burg at five o'clock this evening".
The Vint Shinkle leaves the whartbOat |
at six O'Clock this morning for New Or |
leans and the bends. Dennis M'DeI- |
mot, mate of the Frank Forrest, was |
married at st. Patrick's church in this |
city Wednesday evening. We did not |
learn the young lady's name......The |
showers Of the past few evenings are |
the farmers rejoice. As far as
heard from they hsve been very gener-
81. A good tWenty-four hours rain is
much needed, aud would make the |
crops yield at least one-thiId more than
if the present dry season prevails........
A correspondent of the Pittsburg Com.
nleTcial has found out that the old ma-
riner who holds that boat is doomed |
the name Of which begins with the let
ter "M," owns and runs one the name |
Of which begins with the letter "a"
and furnishes the following list Of steam |
ers that have been destroyed or met |
with disaster, their names beginning

charge, all who may wish to enjoy
moonlight excursion. All the pretty
