THE WEATHER. Brother Beecher, on
a certain occasion, assembled the pulpit,
and remarked, my brethren, it Is hot
it's very hot, in fact, it is d--m hot.
However much this may have been con
demned in a preacher, we do not believe
that any one who from business or
pleasure (?) has to cross the levee at
present, could be censured for even ex-
hausting the whole vocabulary OF swear
ing. or even breaking several other Of
the commandments.
For list of arrivals see marine column.
The w. j. Poitevent, for Macon and
Tensas, and Era No. 10, for Bpuf river.
will leave on their last trips OF the
season on or about July 1.
All quiet along the Mississippi to-day,
save here and there low whistle from
some discontinued Rad who couldn't
swallow Tilden; but at the same time
could get away with a quart or two OF
barrel house whisky without winking.
Rah for Tilden.
