CT cotton. Well, what do they prCp1 g
to do?
The Legal Tender got a good lot of
freight st the elevator for Arkansas riv.
er, ard went out for that stream yester-
day evening with fine load of freight
and people.
The Grand Republics chimneys have
been placed in position, aud the work
Oh that grand packet is rapidly ap-
proachiDg completion. We long to see
her blowing the bosom CT Big Muddy.
The ST. Louis Times gets off the fol-
lowing freak Of the scissors: "Negotia-
tons are pending between Captain
Frank Hicks, of the late Mary Bell, for
the lease o: the Peabody hotel, in this
city"
The wreck of the Mary Bell was sold
at Vicksburg yesterday, to satisfy
claims held by Fred Lloyd, E.

being the only arrival that do any BUSH
ness, and she had ouly about tnzee hum
ired tons of miscellaneous f:eight for
this port and for reshipment.
The house of Captain Shade, owner of
he harbor steamer Carl SchurZ, was
struck by lightning about seven o'clock
asst night, doing considerable damage to
he building, but, though the house was
,rowded at the time, nobody was hurt.
The Ledger man has found out that
Kallaher is the most eff.
,ient officer Memphis has had IN that
position for years. 1t is not very long
ago since that Ghronicler thought that
lobody could I'LL the position but an old,
stesmboatmap.
The new Robert E. Lee, now building
It Louisville. is nearly ready for the fin
shing touches to be put upon her hull.
She will be the wonder OF the age in

Charley Hill to Fillmore City yesterday
%. lift, with her powerful crane, the car
hat went overheard from the M'Comb
4 week ago back on to barge. The
'alling river had left the car high and
Try out on the bar, and il had to be
pulled to the water and then lifted. The

We hear it Intimsted that Captain
Thorw egian proposes to give a grand
excursion from st. Louis TO Eads City,
Il the mouth Of the Mississippi, as soon
ls the GrsDd Republic is finished-that
o be the first trip of the monster fresh
water palace. Such an excursion, under
he management Of Captain VIM. Thor
Tegisn aud his very pJpular and effiei-
mt chief scribe, J. Pbilo. Young, would
De of the most enj yable character, and
We have no doubt but the Grand Re-
Jublic's cabins would he crowded with
he elite of the Mississippi valley.
Councilman Donovan, the sentinel on
he watchtOwer Of the city g financial In
eTests, has begun, at least in one instance,
1t the wrong end OF his business. He
ihOuld have first taken measures TO sup
ply the wharimaster with the necessary
stationery to enable that official to make
)ut his weekly or monthly detailed re-
ports, and we know whereof we speak
when We say that the whaTfmaster
would have furnished the itemiZsd state
ments cheerfully. AS it Is, Whsrimas-
ter kGl,sheI's book, which ia at all
times open to inspection, shows his
months business Just as the able gen.
tlennRn from the sesOnd ward would
have his monthly report show. Give
him tbs stationery, and he will give you
the desired report, gentleman. Mr.. Don
ovan's head is level IS 10 the intent OF
~. work, out q good official should be
app,esfsss@a.
