The Evansville Journal, of Tuesday, TINS
makes tote of an apparent revival of busi-
ness at that village: "Eusin' So on the levee
is certainly improving. The captains and
clerks have lost their ~hsng-iog look of tso
or three weeks ago. and meet the reporters
with smiles and a hearty shake of the hand,
and have quit looking at them with a frown
when they examine the manifesto. These
indications and the fact that the boats come
10 loaded are a cure sign that business is
good and the crews don't wait for their
wages. The Bowling Green did not get in
uuiii 0 o'clock am. She had a big trip oil
freight and passenger She had lots OF wheat
and tobacco. TIT Clyde brought a big trip
mostly COOLERS. Tn Hopkins went through
TO Cairo, and will arrive this morning. The
little fellows all had good trips. Tn Granite
State did a big wsy business and did not Ar.
rive until z O'Clock pm. She went to Union
town, but will be back in time to leave this
morning. We hope business will sooa pick
up on the railroads. They complain OF very
dull times and no grain moving"
