New Orleans daily crescent., 1860-11-19

furnished and which is Of the full size OF the cabin
4 bulkhcad, and the largest and most magnificent
| ever made for q western steamer. The splendid
piano in the Indies cabin Is the gift of Mr.. Pargoud,
! after whom the boat was named, and was made
| expressly TO his order by Chickering q Co. at a
\ cost of $3.50.
But to sum up all in a word, the ]. +. Pargoud
is alike q credit TO her builders, her owner and
commander, and to the trade in which she Is des-
tined to ply. The term floating palace has
been too indiscriminafely used to be applied to
her complete maguidcenee, and yet in an eminent
sense she deserves the cognomen.
In addition TO her stannchness, elegance and
queenly bearing she also possesses that sine qua
non of a first-class packet great speed, Her
clipper sharpness and great resources for raising
steam without straining her power ensure her both
the isetness of the reindeer and the safety Of the
eloster. Capt Tobin may well be proud of his
unriyaed packet, as we'll as Of the fame which
must necessarily be his in having produced the
ne plss ttga packet of the river. She il intended
as q regular weekly packet between this city and
the 0uaehita river, and will leave ON her pioneer
trip as soon as there is sufficient water in that
tributary. Capt. Tohin will, of course, take the
command OF the packet, and has engaged most
competent corps Of sub.effieers. Mr.. G. Phelps is
the clerk. aud is a most courteous, sooiable and
competent officer. May the shadow of the Par
goud never be less.
The Louisville Journal says that the suit of Mrs.
Sarah S. Jenkins against Capt q. H. Sherley and
others, for the value of q negro lost overheard
from the steamer Alvin Adams, by which boat he
was hired was decided by the jury awarding Mrs.
Jenkins $780, There is another suit of similar
character brought by Mr.. J. Q. Withers against
Capt. Sherry and others for the value of negro
drowned of the steamer Fashion at st. Louis
several years ago, pending in the same tribunal.
