Levee Paragraphs.
All the packets advertised to leave
yesterday have laid over until to-day,
and will leave fer their respective desG1-
nations at the usual hour this evening.
Jim DuTf was Knight Of tue mule per-
SudOSlS J anu Il1uc 6SNCIdl
trips up and down the avenue astride of
the spatter- board of street-car.
For CbicOt, ChCctaw Bend and all
way landings, the steamer Idlewild will
leave this day at five O'Clock, promptly;
arriving at Helena st ten O'Clock (even.
ing); at Frisrs Point at eleven o'clock
(evenine). Shippers are requested to
have freight down early. The Idlewild
has the finest string band on the river,
and will give a minstrel performance
and phantom dance to guests on board
The Thompson Dean attracted a Lar ge
number OF visitors yesterday, all Of
whom were welcomed ard shown
through that 81 CANT packet by her
clev officers, Captains Miller and Mil
tenEerger.
The levee was full Of boats, fall of
freight, all waiting till Memphis SUBJ
sides into regular business sgain.
The Eckert did raise the Osceola, and
did get her here in time to participate
in those grand displays yesterday after
noon and last night. Not only that, but
the O3ceola is advertised to leave again
next Tuesday. Sc, you see, she is not
totally wrecked.
The event of tEis day in marine cir
e'e3 will be the departure of the reliable,
swift and commodious packet Illinois
for Vicksburg and the bends, making
close connections with the R. E. Lee for
New Orleans, and the Parisot line up
Tailahatchie and Yszoo rivers. Captain
Mark Cheek, her commander, and Cap.
tain Joe Speers, chief clerk, have become
so popular with travellers and shippers all
along the line that word is not needed
in their prai:e from us. We will say,
however, that no packet on the river
affords more comfortable accommoda-
tiOns in every particular than the IlIi-
nois, as is evidenced by the big crowd of
the elite OF the valley she will carry
away this evening, and those who would
enjoy pleasant trip and the agreeable
companionship of gentlemen Of the first
water in the marine profession, should
avail themselves Of the opportunity at.
fOrded by the linois this evening.
