Leyee Reflections.
The storm of yesterday morning laid
the dust, but 90 soon as the sun got
crack at the NicOl5On again the steam
arising made the atmosphere too hot for
comfort. Although there were six
steamers advertised to depart yesterday
afternoon, the levee looked deserted all
day Now that reports come TO us OF
such great quantities OF wheat raised
everywhere, wouldn't little steamer
the Louisville Drummer, for instance
make a good thing Of it 10y running up
into Hatchie, Forked-Deer and OOion
rivers Sullivan can't go fishing any
more. Somebody has visiOniZed an alli-
gator in ThOmpson's lake, near Nicks-
burg. Don't be afeerd, Jeems; it's the
fragrant African and the honest watch
dog that 60 to make up the Sppetizing
menu for mis- slligatOrship... Jimmy
Sullivan, the champion river historian
of VicksbuTg, is indirectly called upon
to write poem to be recited at the next
meeting Of the Mississippi Press sssocia-
ton. Don't you do it, Jsems; your self
respect and your duty to the marine de-
psrtment of the worlds history, forbid
your wasting your talents on poetry.
You are no sardine, though the aquatic
is your element......Ti Tickling a snoozer
under the nose with straws in imita-
tation of the buz of the festive
fly, ia the common pastime about the
wharfboat and elevator these days..
New Orleans Times, Friday: "Tbe re-
porter called on Billy Brown yesterday,
and is pleased to state that he is imprOv-
ing finely; his left eye is fast gaining
strength, and hopes are now entertained
that he may eventually recover the sight
in his right one; he hopes to be able by
Saturday or Sunday to leave for Wheel
ing, Virginia, on visit to his sister,
and when under her kind care he may
be restored 10 perfect health again. "......
The storm at st. Louis did no serious
damage to the marine interests, except
blowing over the office at the marine
ways......One of our local marines is
noted foE remarkable development of
foot, and when he has to invest in store
boots or shoes, meets with much diff
Guilty in finding the cspacious article.
He went to Main street establishment
q few days ago, and the clerk, having
gone through the box Of extra sizes with
out finding a shoe that would hold
enough, was shout to give his customer
up as ''no sale," when an idea struck
him, and Strengthening himself up from
over the box, he remarked, somewhat
emphaticslly: Excuse me, sir, but l
don't know how can fit
you, unless you put on a pair Of
thin socks and try on the box."......
