LeVee Reflections.
1t is moved, seconded, and carried
unanimously, that yesterday was the
hottest Of the season. Vegetation is be-
ginning to show the blighting effects OF
the hot sunshine, and q few showers are
now in oTder......T This chronicler is piling
up a pyramid OF complaint, which he
intends shall tOpple over on to that
Cincinnati Enquirer historian. He is
making himself almost tGO much at
home with the APPEALS river column,
and he must put stop 10 it. We feel
proud when we have dished up an item
these dull times which others may think
of general interest, but when we see the
same made use of without credit, our
pride changes to wrath, all the office
furniture is demolished, and we raise
Helena generally, unit the prOprietOrs
have threatened our discharge. Now,
Mr.. Enquirer-msn, we don't want to
loose a position we have devoted a life
time to attain; if We do, the conse-
quences hereafter are beyond cOncep-
ton. Please don't do it any more, and
Oblige, yours truly and fondly....,....
Owen F. Jemison, bill clerk of the IlIi-
nOis, has placed us under obligations for
favors' ''''''Somethin' 'ligious will have
to be done" if we don't have
rain in this locality soon. II somebody
would donate a lot for the benefit of
foreign mission, perhaps the refreshing
rain would descend upon the wicked
and unjust hereabOuts......As small steam
trading-bOat named Louisville Drum
mer came in yesterday morning from
the Ohio river......Captain Glenn was a
spectator at the session of the city coun-
eli yesterday afternoon, and manifested
considerable interest in the discussion of
marine affairs. There was a good
breeze on the levee yesterday, and at
night the bluffs are considered the cool
est place in the city. Beauty aud chiv-
airy gather there after sunset to enjoy
the invigOrsting sea-breezes waited over
Big Muddy, and hear the waves muir
muring their evening lullaby......We are
glad to note the fact that Memphis in
stitution is winning golden opinions
abroad, as will be seen by perusal Of
the following by the New Orleans BuI-
Letin in reference to our Memphis and
Vicksburg packet Illinois, and her pur-
ser, Joe Spears: "Joe Spears, the clerk
of the Illinois, popular packet plying
between Memphis and Vicksburg, seems,
from the notices he is getting from the
river reporters at those two places, to be
making as many fast friends there as he
left behind him here. The Illinois is al
most a New Orleans boat any
way, for she has on her, be-
sides Joe, Owen JemisOn, land Frank
Smith, the famous caterer, former.

and other packets. The Illinois con-
meets with the Natchez every Monday"
IA thief went through AL. HaycOck's |
and got away with his last and best |
shirt. Now If he had put ON that shirt |
and walked around to the APPEAL Office |
with five square advertisement an
nouncing the particulars Of the OsceOla's |
arrivals and departures, he would have |
got the best Of that thief. Another ar
gument in favor of advertising literally. |
I'VE are glad to note that Captain |
Cheek is encouraged to the settled de- |
termination to keep the Illinois in the |
Memphis and Vicksburg trade through |
out the summer, and in the fall he ex. |
poets to cOnsummate arrangements for |
a tri-weekly line. The rapidly increas-
ing popularity Of the Illinois in the trade |
is most encouraging and settles |
the business that our merchants |
will support the line literally. |
The bar opposite this point is making a
showing-in fact, old Daddy Of Floods
is getting i'll every day, and will be con-
fined to his bed in day or two. Il lit
tie hydropathic treatment is badly |
needed in his case......An Old-time ma

rather impertinently, when the old

the little nig's jaw; the latter went for

THE following is synopsis of the
of the Illinois, which arrived
from Vicksburg at nine o'clock last
night bales cotton, $40 SKIS cotton
seed, 80 head cattle and sundries, 43
cabin and 81 deck passengers. Among
the passengers was General Wade
Hampton, en- route to his home in South
Carolina. The Illinois brought up good
list of orders to fill for the bends below
here. Our merchants would do well to
interview Joe Speers to-day.
