Captain James Wise, president
and superintendent Of the Memphis
and Cincinnati Packet Company,
Captains James D. Parker and Ben
Merriles arrived to-day by rail from
Cincinnati to attend the carnival.
We would advise excursionists to
keep a sharp lookout for confidence
men and pickpockets, as several of
the light-fngered gentry have been
working on some of the passengers
who came in this morning on the
packets.
The Anchor Line packet City of
Vicksburg, Captain Bob Riley, will
leave the elevator this evening at
sharp five for Vicksburg, doing all
bend business, and connecting at
Arkansas City with the New Or
leans and YazOo river packets, CIV
ing through bills of lading and also
icketingpassengers through. Chris
Sharpe, a clever gentleman, holds
forth in the office.
The Hard Cash, Captain Ed Pos
tai, arrived at 8 am. from White
river, with 100 cabin and 1875 deck
passengers, 500 bales Of cotton and
l76 sacks seed. She made an ex-
ceedingly quick run, leaving Angus
ia Saturday morning. She lays over
in port until Wednesday evening,
returning to White river and going
through to Jacksonport. Charley
Postal and Count Chamberlain en-
tertalued her passengers in a royal
manner.
The fine steamers Hattie Now
land and Katie Hooper came in
from Arkansas river dashed to-
gether. They presented a beauti-
ful sight ccming in. Both steam
ers were handsomely decorated with
flags, wreaths and bouquetsof flow
ers. Both bands were discoursing fine
music, and to add to the beautiful
sight the passengers were assembled
on the guards and roofs of each
steamer; and another attraction or
novelty was q masked man on each
pilot house dancing and keeping
time with the music. The Now
land and Hooper will remain in
port to accommodate their passengers.

them piled in the vintage Of Kentucky
afteTward. The result was confusion in
the senator's stomachs, aud ultimately
dismsy in the senatorial brains. One or
two Of the senators who distinguished
themselves on this occasion were men
who always have got drunk and always
will do so during all. nightsessions. Most
Of them will not do 80 any more, and /
am not going TO publish their names.
But there is nc harm in saying that the
wealthy Don Cameron, of Pennsylvania,
was the man who ordered up the wine
that mixed so mischievously with the
usual senatorial 'pizen' on this now
famous occasion"

A Washington letter writer says;
have received several letters asking
me to publish the names OF the senators
who we're most jolly tight on the night
Of the passags Of the silver bill. There
is this much to be said in favor Of the
senators who may take ten or fifteen
drinks too many on the occasion OF a
continuous all night session, that they
do not have an opportunity to geta good
dinner at the usual hour, and that the
strain upon them is often very great
They drink on empty stomaobs and are

other night all began with q few bottles
Of champagne. Had the worthy sene-
tors taken nothing but champagne
there would have been no trouble,
