Levee Paragraphs.
Weather hot as blazes.
Dull as a club-busIness.
The marines are getting excited over the
phon ograph.
Particulars of the accident to the Little
Condor and tow, which occurred above here
yesterday morning, will be found on the local
page of to-day's APPEAL.
The Anchor liners to-day are the Grand
Tower, for Vicksburg, at ten o'clock fore
noon, and the city OF Helena, for st. Louis,
at five o'clock afternoon.
The levee was good place to hunt for
river news yesterday, but very bad place to
find any. We did our level best, but failed
to accomplish anything of interest.
The Gait bad the levee, the elevator and
both the wharf boats to herself yesterday,
and did not consume much time in getting
rid of her cargo. After unloading she pulled
up to the iron pile and took on good ballast.
There was an immense crowd on the Gait
when she left the wharf last night. 1t was
composed of the good ladies of the Helping
Hand club and their friends, among whom
were many of the loveliest of the bellies OF
the bluff.
The shady side of a jackstaff would have
commanded premium yesterday, but there
was no jackstaf IN sight to perpetrate q
shadow, consequently the levee loater had to
go in search of new fields in which to roam
away the boiling hours.
The Robert Mitchell was the only arrival
J aud the only departure announced yesterday.
She discharged here 80 sacks beans, los
, boxes glassware, q pkgs sundries, and added
, 20 barrels lime and 9 bales cotton, and passed
) on down with 800 tons freight and Is CABIN
passengers.
, The James w. Gaff departs for the Ohio
|, to-day, taking in all the way landings, anC
:, ticketIng passengers through to eastern cities
+, at those popularity low rates, which are classeC
| cheaper than ever" Captain Wise requests
that shippers send down their favors early
as the Calf will leave at sharp FIVE o'clock
; Parties contemplating voyage up the rive
> should take these matters into consideration
!, and be governed accordingly.
