Speaking of the Grand Republic, the
| Vicksburg Herald says:
"The steamer Grand Republic, built,
commanded and owned by Capt. VIM.
| II. Thorwegan, Is the largest steamer
ever built In the world to navigate in
land waters. She has capacity for 5000
tons Of cargo. and stowage room for

date 400 first cabin and 500 deck passen.
gers. She is elegantly furnished and
QUILTED for the travelling public; Is
frst-class in every respect - without
doubt the finest steamboat ever built.
| She has all the late improvements to Sc
cure safety known at tho present day
She was built to run between st. Louis
and New Orleans. Her draft of water
is very light, drawing but thirty-three
inches forward. and four feet two inches
aft. I'm consequence OF her light draft,
she will run regularly between the above
named cities, leaving st. Louis about
every twenty-one days during the entire
year except when the riveris obstructed
by ice. She will be completed about the
18th of this month, and Immediately
enter her trade, paying visit to the
Eads jetties, at the mouth Of tho Missis-
sippi river. On her maiden trip, she
will carry full string and brass band
and make this excursion trip one OF
pleasure to all on board. She is to be
the first boat formally through the jet
ties

District. and the Big Corporal OF the
Harbor Precinct has gone there for the

The landing yesterday reminded one
| Of banquet hall deserted, or a board
| ing house with mackerel fins and the
| back bones of sardines for dinner-there
was but one boat at the upper wharf,
the Susie Silver, and only three at the
| lower wharf.
| The champion II. E. Leo will be on
hand tomorrow morning.
| If our city authorities do not revoke
tho licenses Of those barrel houses on
tho crossing leading from Front street
to the steamboat landing, our citizens
will have to take the matter in hand
and make the work sharp, quick and
decisive
