swallowing an elephant when the steamboats,
undergoing repairs at the landing above JEFF
ferson street are ordered beyond the city linn
its, at the same time the city scavengers are
permitted to dump the carcases of dead ami
mails and all manner of filth, at the foot of
Washington street to float on the surface of
the river in front of the city? Remove that
dump and let the steamboats, alone. Hun
dreds of mechanics are employed on those
boats and should not be disturbed.

Whitford, former resident of this section,
now a Memphis cotton merchant, arrived here
to-day, accompanied by his daughter Mr..
Whitford was passenger to Louisville, trip
before last, on the Calf, and leaving the boat
there took buggYride with his daughter to
Lexington and thence to this city by the same
mode of conveyance. In his early youth, be-
fore the time of railroads, this was trip he
had often made. and it recalled many pleas
ant recollections to his mind. Mr.. Whitford
and his daughter enjoyed the trip hugely and
are in the best of health and spirits
