Levee Reflections.
All the packets left yesterday evening
with fair trips.
Ed. CTowell, the popular clerk OF thu
| Quickstep, is laying over until the Ruth
! takes her position in the Milt Harry
White river line. Ed. Crowell is truly
one OF the most popular clerks on The
river, both with his employers and the
! patrons Of the line, and having stood Al
| his post throughout the past season with
out an hours intermissiOn, needs thu
respite from labor afford I'd by the pres
ent temporary change Of steamers.
The excessive heat OF the past two
days must be Of the mean temperature
! Persuasion.
Captain Eugene Smith went out in
command Of the Fort Gibson, yesterday
evening, Captain Rowland having
stopped off to recreste little.
The Ruth, Captain Milt Harry's new
boat, will be here about Thursday, and
will probably leave on her first tip up
White river next Saturday.
The New Orleans Times rejoices thus
ly over the harmonizing OF the squabble
about the mail contracts from that CITY
to Nicksburg: "Peace and good will
among men is now the order OF the day,
and thus it is at present with the New
Orleans snd Vicksburg packet mana
gers. To set aside all quibblings, and to
a accommodate the public as well as give
Uncle Sam another chance to right him
self with his people, they have agreed to
carry the river mail until such times as
il he published aud another reletting
takes place. Our southern business men
owe q word OF thanks to the Vicksburg
line for their willingness to come to their
rescue in this matter, and we hope will
rally around them for it, by giving them
all their patronage"
Here are some reliable particulars
about Captain Milt Harry's purchase of
the Ruth, clipped from the New Orleans
Times: Captain Milt r. Harry on
Thursday morning finally completed
the purchase Of Captain BurtOn's light
draft steamer Ruth. Price paid,
seven thousand dollars cash. She
is now receiving to leave Saturday
evening, July 18th, for Vicksburg,
GrGenville, Helena, Memphis and
all bend landings. We wish Captain
Harry and his Ruth all manner of sue
cess and safety"
We didn't wrestle as much with the
heat yesterday as on the day before.
Our thermometer wss busted, and we
had to take the weather as ii come.
Captain Joe Stevens is building new
boat at Madison, Indiana, for the Sun
flower river, which l. to be called the
Belle SuDflOwer.
The Thompson Dean is at Mound City
undergoing a Temodeling for the cotton
trade the coming season.
The II. s. Turner passed by Cairo
without landing. So the steamers are
doing here except where they can secure
a sufficient amount Of business for this
port to justify the outlay for wharfage
privileges.
The story about the sale of the Thomp-
son Dean turns out to be q hoax, and
some Of our up.Tiver exchanges say that

SCHOOL HARMS HUSBANDS.

Michael G. Kerr, the Speaker, was
born in Pennsylvania, on a farm,
near Ttusville, on which farm ''ile''
was first struck. While q student at
the Erie Academy. he. fell in love
with school mistress, and when he
reached the ripe age of eighteen he
married and soon after took Horace
Greely's advice, and event West" "
and became Hoosier by adoption.
His marriage was secret, and after
having been West two years, he re-
turned and took hls bride to his
Hoosier home. Meanwhile she had
fallen out Of =, window and received
injuries which marred her beautiful
face, but Mike, didn't care a darn,
and they have been happy as pair
of turtle doves ever since. Mr.
Bleine, of Maine, the late Speaker Of
the House, is; also a Pennsylvania
by birth, having been born in Wash
ington county. He, too, married 8
school mistress-a Yankee girl-whe
induced him to removcito her East,
ern home, where he has become .
great man. 1t is a strange coinci
dence that Kerr, the husband of .
school marin, succeeds Blaine, th'
husband Of another school marin.

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

From his Elmwood windows Mr.,
Lowell can look across the flats
stretching towards Boston, four miles
away, while on the other side lies
Mount Auburn. The grounds are
not adorned with any modern land
scape gardening, but stand in simple
beauty, while: the tall trees to the
westward are almost sombre when the
night7oreeze blows through them
The old yellow house is poets home
and thither bards, as well as birds,
seem naturally to fly. When the
owner was in Europe lately for a
couple Of years he gave his keys, for
occupancy Of the house, to Mr.. Thos.
Bailey Aldrich, whose dainty verse
was written meanwhile to the grooming
Of the Elmwood chimneys mentioned
somewhere by the elder poet. Mr..
Lowell himself is now in the full
Vigor 4 otff middle life. His hair and
Beard are 'tinged with auburn and
and streakea with gray; but he is
a muscular bard, in perfect health,
and Of uniform courtesy and good
nature, a!t In his personal appearance,
a. in the management of his affairs,
there!is nothing of the traditional
heeeddlessness Of the poet. The poetic.
al nature, he thinks, is kin~to order,
and in his own case certainly the
opinion is true.-Harper's Magazine
for January.
