bills of landing to ALI points on Ouachita River
and It's tributaries. The Captains Blanks

the residents of the Ouachita Valley, and we

except that her deck is dry and that the |
freight Is being moved to the bar The water
continues to fall about her, and if she is not
attended to she will soon be left
high and dry. Doubtless however, before
this reaches the eye of the reader, Reese Du-
gan will have the wrecking boat Ecbert at
work at the sunken craft, and in a iiffy will
have her afoat.
One of Schenck's fine model barees is about

The river or rather the ice remains un-
changed, but the weather indicates warm and
temperature. No changes in rates
ire reported. The Kyle is receiving at Cairo
md is being loaded principally with st. Louis
reight by way of Cairo Short line. There is
fair prospect that the Paragon will leave this

No ice floating in the Ohio river at Cairo.
rom the tone OF specials from Washington
seems that Congress will this session take 1
ONE action with regard to retaining the
lluvial lands of the Mississippi The COM
llsslon recommends heavy appropriations to
lose crevasses already existing, and breaks in
ne levees. 1t IS estimated that for per- '
lament reclamation of these lands SAC, 0OO.-
90 will be required.
From Memphis -lppeal, Jan Odd:
Business at the landing yesterday was lust
$50, local packets doing very little in the

Ugly light, and everybody seemed imbued CT
ltn the feeling OF tlatness which prevailed
II improvement is not expected here until
lie ice lets go above, and that event is not =
oked for soon. 1t takes right funny Joke
awaken smile on river mans counte-
tnee nowadays, and as there are but few
IN port who can furnish the joke. smiles, ba

between. Well, we all live in hopes, if ~ ~,
perish on the ragged edge, ETC. The fol- =
wing constitutes the business yesterday.
