LeVee Reflections.
A pleasant breeze from the region OF
the gulf made the levee somewhat en-
durable yesterday afternoon. Nat
chez, last Sunday, the body of white
man, much decom posed, was found near
the bottom of the bluffs. Near the
body were business cards of the liquor
firm OF Series Pere ct Fills, Cognac,
France; also of whisky houses in Louis.
vile, Chicago, st. Louis, New York and
COvington. Deceased is supposed to be
William Holland, travelling agent for
these whisky dealers. Foul play is
suspected, but the body is too much de-
composed to ascertain. The Court
square fountain is the theme of discus
sion among those who delight to enjoy

spot, and we learn that the projectors
are meeting with much success in col
Letting TIE amount necessary to make it
an attractive feature in the square......
The news from the planting districts
along the rivers continues to be of the
most hopeful charscter-everything
planted promising most abundant yield,
and, as far as heard from, nothing has
occurred or is likely to occur to mate
rally affect the quality of cotton or
grain. Let's all rejoice at the prospect,
and keepa still upper-lip for the result.
THE Belle Memphis got away for st.
Louis last night with the best passenger
trip of the season. Most OF the passen.
gers are California tourists. .. The Ar.
lingtOn discharged her cargo at the ele-
vatOr, among which was a good lot of
package freight for reshipment to the
bends. here was considerable actiV-
ity around the A. J. White and Belle of
Texas yesterday afternoon, and those
two packets skipped out with first-rste
trips of passengers and freight. Other.
wise the levee presented deserted ap-
pearaDce Captain WOOdburne's sum-
mer Arkansas river campaign boat is to
be called the Rosa Miller, in honor of the
daughter of Mr.. Miller, of the firm of
Miller & Penzil, of Little Rock. So our
Memphis bellies have missed the oppor.
tunity of having their maiden names
immortaliZed. The Rosa Miller will be
$50 feet long, 26 feet Oeam, 3 feet hold,
10 inch cylinders, and will draw about 10
inches. She will have full cabin, fur
nished in elegant style, and the captain
is experimenting her construction in
person, 80 as to have her come out in
nprtiOUIior SIIifoH fO tha froAo CHI
is built for. She will be down here TO
take her place in the Memphis and Lit
tie Rock line about the middle Of next
month, probably earlier. Captain
Thomas Barrett, formerly of the Clarks-
vile, is now in command Of the Ella
Hughes, in the Little Rock and Fort
Smith trade. Memphis fishermen
complain that net has been stretched
across the HOpefield lake, so that the
| 6nnies are debarred the exquisite
pleasure of nibbling at Memphis hooks
| in the hands Of amateur disciples of Isaac
| Walton. Now, if you don't take out
| that net we will quit fishing in your old
lake. Put that in your pipe and smoke
| t......AnyOne wishing to know any
| thing about that barrel shipped by the
| Anchor-Line from Memphis, containing
| the remains of Linn G. Doyle, had bet
| ter be sure that he is we'll armed, and
put fresh percussion on his repeater be-
| fore he asks Captain Storm anything
! shout it. The captain was investigating
the matter up to noon yesterday, when
Jimmy M'Meen, his polite shipping
clerk, let the cat out Of the bag, when
the captain frankly acknowledged the
sell, and set up the ice-water to the
crowd, consisting Of himself and this
chrOnicler, in lively style......The Julia,
for st. Louis, will lay over till ten
| o'clock this morning, on special engage
ments. No AnchOr-Liner leaves for
Vicksburg to-day, the Capitol City 60
| ing out for that port tomorrow evening
| at five O'clock. The Illinois is due
! from VicksbUrg tonight at eight o'clock.
THE Robert Mitchell skips out for
New Orleans at eight o'clock this morn
| ing. The Arlington is the Cincinnati
| packet this evening. The Phil Allin
will depart for the lower coast as far
down as Frisrs Point this evening".
| The city fathers will consider marine
matters in council this afternoon, when
! it is hoped some modification of the sys-
! tenn OF assessing wharfage will be
made. We find our suggestions
as to the per centage system
meets with general favor both
| with our shipping merchants and the
| river people. 1t is an outrage that q
steamer should be taxed when she does
no business, and lands at our wharf to
| replenish her stores. The story of the
| goose which was killed for the golden
egg is very dppTOpOS to our system Of
wharfage assessments. Any change will
| be for the better, provided the money
collected for wharfage is applied to the
improvement of the wharf and landing.
Nv hear it upon good authority that
the war against Glenn's wharfboat has
terminated, some Of those opposing its
| lying at lis present moorings doing so
under erroneous impressions. For the
| sake of peace-and we believe we speak
the opinion Of majority Of the river
fraternity-we hope the matter will be
| settled to finality st the meeting Of the
general council this afternoon. At the
| same time it is earnestly hoped the
council will take some action regarding
| the wharfage rates. This matter can
and should be arranged more satisfactO.
| rily to all concerned.
