ht FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
The weather yesterday was perfectly
lovely, and just such AS the planters
most desire. Keep it up, MIR. Weather
Clerk.
The river at Cairo has dropped down
from AZ feet inches to less than 30 feet
above low water mark. That's encour-
aging.
Now that the river is falling so nicely
all the way from Cairo down, we may
expect soon TO sec a revival in the bends
business.
The river Is falling worry slowly in this
neighborhood, but we look for it, to 90
down quite rapidly in a few days. It is
falling little below us and quite rap
idly above, and we don't see why it
should keep up to an unusually high
stage much longer.

wet-enders have got up mutual admi-
ration society. 1t Is doubtful whether
any one outside OF themselves will be
edited or instructed with their "you
tickle me and I'll tickle you" produc-
tions.

Louisville, to be dismantled, passed
Memphis Wednesday. II Vicksburg Tri-
bune, 9th.
With the exception Of a reported head
rise we hear of no water above the raft.
The head rise spoken Of must be larger
than we have any idea of, to do any
good down this way. The last one was
two weeks getting here, and then the
only sign OF 1t was in the red water. We
still have low water navigation to Full
ton on the upper river, and fair naviga-
tion to Jefferson on Cypress bayou, with
the water falling.
The weather yesterday forenoon was
close and cloudy with every appearance
OF rain, though but few drops fell. In
the afternoon it was fair and hot-excel-
lent growing weather. Crops Of all
kinds. particularly grass, are coming
forward rapidly.
There was very little business doing
on the levee yesterday. The st. Mary
got through discharging and then put
in her oar for a down trip but did not
make much headway.
