Lsvee Paragraphs.
BusinessImoderate.
The Hard Cash will perhaps get ready in
time to leave for White river at FIVE o'clock
this afternoon.
The City of Alton, of the st. Louis and
New Orleans Anchor-line, passed up yester-
day evening, discharging here lot of sun
dries.
Packets leaving yesterday had fair trips
out, the Mark Twain, for st. Francis river,
IN particular, having about as much as she
could wag with.
The Mary Houston discharged few pack
ages as she passed up for the Ohio yesterday
morning. She had about 300 tons freight,
IS cabin passengers and 80 deckers.
The Belle of Shreveport, of the st. Louis
and New Orleans Anchor-line, which passed
south this morning, added 6 bales cotton and
lOO6 sacks oilmeal, leaving here with all she
wanted.
The James w. Gaff will be found in port
this morning, discharging her freight pre-
paratoTy to giving an excursion tonight to
one of the churches. We have not been
posted as to particulars, but know that Cap
tain Wise, Colonel Moore and Billy Collins
will make everybody happy.
We were little crooked in stating that the
Hard Cash would do White river solus the
remainder of the summer, while the Ruth
laid up for repairs. The true state of the
case is this: By mutual agreement, the Hard
Cash keeps up the business of both packets
until the thirteenth of July, by which time the
Ruth $ repairs will be completed. On that
date the Hard Cash goes into repairs, and the
Ruth does all the business until the fall sea-
son opens on the first of September. Milt
Harry is not ready to become material for a
funeral, which would surely result if he had
