LEAP YEAR PARTY.-Taking advantage
of the privilege accorded them once in four
years, the ladies of Morris resolved to have
a leap year party, and as when a woman
will, she will, you may depend ont, the
resolution was no sooner determined upon
than it was put into execution. The party
is, therefore, fixed fact for next Monday
evening. Invitations have been issued to
the young ladies, and they are to invite
their own brother, or some other fellows
brother We will be sadly disappointed
if the occasion will not be thoroughly en-
joyable and pleasant one. P. S.-A word
to the boys. Now, young men, here is a
glorious opportunity for lesson in eti-
quette. Keep your escort, when she calls
for you, waiting an hour or SO on the front
door step, the colder the night the longer
she must wait When you arrive at the
hall, let her remove your wraps, and be
sure and have your programme filled before
she returns If she is inclined to be put
out, just turn up your nose at her. Do not
fail to have somebody aside from your
escort, lead you TO the table, and above all
be sure and do not have your escort see you
home. These few rules, If strictly follow
cd will lend tone and naturalness to the oc.

1t is with extreme regret that we
are called upon to announce the death
of Captain james o. Durff, a gentle
man so well and favorably known to
the marine fraternity. He had been
complaining for some time, but man
aged to hold out until Thursday last,
when he was compelled to take to his
bed. Every attention was shown him,
and many were the wishes Of his
friends that he would soon recover
and again move among steamboat men
for whom he had a fond affection.
But last night, e'er the midnight hour
had sounded its toll, his soul departed
1from among us, and poor Jim was no
more. Captain Durtf spent the early
part of his life on the river, the last
boat he vas on being the st. Cloud,
(which ran from this port to New Or
%leans. Since quitting the river he has
sdevoted his time and talents to the
Interests of steamboatmen, having
during the war conducted a paper at
aCairo, where he had charge Of the
river department. For the past fifteen
years he has been connected with the
river departments of the press of this
scity, and grew in great favor with
steamboatmen. He was Of a kind and
sgenial disposition, with always a pleas
ant word for his friends, who will miss
him through the daily walks of life.
Captain Durf was in his forty.seoond
year, and leaves a wife and two chill
dren, the elder being a married daugh-
tier. Also two brothers, one a planter
FAT Concordia, Miss, and the other
doing business at Louisville. To his
family we extend our heartfelt sym.
spathy in this, their sad bereavement,
1.-THE funeral takes place at 3 pm. to.
aday from his late residence, on Second
xstreet, below Union. His friends who
Scan make it convenient, are invited to
attend. Peace to his ashes.

MEMPHIS, TENN, April 70, lSoO'
While thereis no great amount Of
money begging for borrowers, the
tendency is toward easier rates for
mercantile discounts, and prime com-
mercial paper is in demand at the
current rate of s per cent. Open
market loans are the same as last re-
port, and range from 6 to 10 per cent,
according to the nature of the security
offered. Considerable huctuation has
occurredin railway stocks on the New
York stock exchange during the past
week. The leading item Of interest
for people hereabouts has been Louis
vile and Nashville railway stock.
On the 10th inst. it was worth 160,
and ten days ago it stood atlas. Next
day it dropped to 1l5, rising to l25 at
the close Of the day. All last week
it vibrated between 1876 and 140, clos
ing Saturday at the latter. Up to
Saturday evening the interest of
Shelby county of $50 shares had all
been sold except $50 shares, one batch
of 300 shares going at 100, another at
1879, and the last lot of 100 shares at
140. The remainder will doubtless
be disposed Of by this evening". The
county will doubtless realize a little
over 100000 on its original invest
ment of $500, 900, a very fair yield for
a railway stock subscription. The
money will not be allowed to rest idle
in the county treasury, as a movement
is already active to build turnpikes
with it. On Saturday last, at the
New York stock exchange, 1900 shares
of Nashville and Chattanooga railway
stock were sold, the closing price
being n, it having dropped to " dur
ing the day. Iron Mountain closed
at DUG, against 4S4 the week before.
United States 4 per cents range in
value from 1868 to 1911.
Exchange has ruled quiet and steady
throughout the week, rates being &c off
on eastern cotton bills bearing no
grace, and ic discount on points
beyond New York, where grace is
asked. On New Orleans the rate is
4c off on buying, and par selling.
Checks on New York sell at lc pre-
, MUM.
There has been a fair demand for
all productive securities, and a few
sales are reported, generally at full
prices. A sale of $4,000 Bank of
Commerce stock is announced at 81,
also gas stock at 76f. Peoples In
surance stock is offering, and the
holders ask IS. Other quotations sur
