| OF the Kate Adams yesterday in place of
| Capt. Mark Cheek, resigned. Rowland is

the Kate Adams's reputation will not suffer
| in his hands.
The Guiding Star arrived from New Or

In our notice of the Will S. Hays yester-
day we stated that she carried the Edison
incsndescent electric light. We should have
said the "Maxim incandescent light" and
the "Western arc light" We are reminded
OF the error BY the agent in this city.
CAPT. MARK CHEEK, who resigned the
command of the Kate Adams yesterday, has
earned an enviable reputation in the bends
trade, where he will be missed, his absence
being only atoned for by the presence Of
Ed Rowland, one OF the most genial gentle
men in the 'profesh."
HERE'S an item Hobbs, OF the GIobs Demo-
crot, won't steal: "St. Louis has poor de-
psndence on the rivers for transportation
five months of the most busy season of the
year. But for that fact sne might expect to
appear some day as q rival for the trade that
Memphis gets by legitimate means"
THE compositor made the Signal Service
table yesterday read "rise II inches" instead
OF "dtcline IL inches" He probably spent
the day 'zamiuin'" the Hays's pretty bar,
got on "boom" himself, and thought every.
thing else ought to be. Another addition 10
the ''unnsmed grave" series in poltersfeld.
SOME remarkably fast lime was made by
the Anchor-Line steamer Belle Memphis,
Capt. Ike Mckee, on her last trip. She left
