Levee Paragraphs.
No arrivals, no Departures, no business.
The New Mary Houston is due from the
Ohio to-day, en- route to New Orleans.
Cyrus Fay, the bill clerk of the West Wind,
has stopped off ''to take little rest
The Coahoma is the lower bend packet at
the usual hour this evening, Captain Ed
Thomas in command.
The Katie Hooper will arrive to-day from
Arkansas river, and leaves tomorrow with a
return trip to Little Rock.
The Schenck will lay up on her arrival at
Cincinnati to have new cabin put on her,
and to be otherwise improved.
The John W. Cannon may be looked for
to-day. Her progress down the OHIO has
been greatly retarded by low water.
Steamboat clerks are reminded that Mans
ford, corner Monroe and Second streets, can
fill all orders for base ball machinery on
short notice.
The Grand Tower, for Vicksburg at ten
o'clock this morning, and the City of Helena,
for st. Louis at five o'clock this evening, are
to-day's Anchor-liners.
Yesterday, of all the days in the year, was
the dullest on the levee. The bummers
abandoned their old haunts to attend the DO
litical seance at the Exposition building
Well, the marines continue to be the CEN
ter of attraction with the element who are
anxious to sacrifice all interests, Including
their souls salvation, for their country-in
some fat office.
Captain Milt Harry's new White river boat,
launched yesterday, when she was to be
christened the Josie Harry, after the cap
tain's accomplished wife, as was suggested
by the APPEAL.
A letter from St. Charles says: ''Joseph
W. Bowman, aged twenty-one years, watch
man on the steamer Fannie Lewis, while
lighting torch, accidentally dropped re-
VOIFeT lrOm MS pocket, WHICH went OH, the
ball penetrating the heart, killing him in
stantly."
The Cairo Bulletin, of Wednesday, and
the Associaf ID Press dispatches of yesterday,
do not consist. The former says the James
w. Gaf arrived from Cincinnati and passed
on down for Memphis Tuesday evening,
while the latter say she passed there on her
way down Wednesday night at eleven
o'clock. Something would have to be broken
before the two stories would fit together.
Neither Joe Flynn nor the John w. Cam
non arrived IN port yeste rday in time to par
ticipate in the convention. Joe's got fat
place as bar-keeper of the Cannon, and is one
of the delegates to the present convention.
He's got big fish on each hook, and to save
his life he can't decide which to turn loose in
order to make safe landing with the other.
It's either feast or a famine with good
hearted Joe.
If you would enjoy a cheap summer tour,
and see more to please the eve than those who
go by other routes, see Captain Dick Light
burne, the accomplished agent of the Mem
phis and Cincinnati packet line. He has a
frst-class packet going out this evening, and
will give you the best accommodations afloat.
As we previously remarked, it's cheaper trav-
cling this route than staying at home, while
the comforts supplied are equal to any first
class hotel on the continent. It's the Calf
going up this evening.
Inc James w. IAN VIII leave positively
this evening with return trip for Cincin-
matt, making all principal way-landings, and
tlcketing passengers through to New York
and other points at lower rate than by any
other route, transferring passengers and bag
gage free of charge. She has unsurpassed
passenger accommodations, and is a good
boat to travel on. Captain Bob Wise, who
is one of the most popular boatmen on the
river, commands, with Captain j. D. Moore,
a genial gentleman. in charge of the Office.
