ninety days, representing that he intended to take
them to Shreveport, his place Of business, and
there retail them, and that he had on deposit with
friend in this city the sum Of ten thousand dol
lars. The bill thus purchased by him amounted
to s2G25 81 Mr.. Adler further alleges that

A poor old woman, whose name is unknown,
about sixty years of age, was on Monday seen
standing about the doors Of some of the courts in
the Second District, and endeavoring to obtain an
interview with one of the judges. She appeared
to be wandering in her mind, and reminded the
observer of Dickens's Miss Flite, She stated that
she had been a schooIteacher in the State for
twenty-four years-thath her scholars had gradually
dropped off, and that they had finally, in conse.
quence of a conspiracy, ceased attending alto.
gether. She said that she had no children, and
appeared to have no family ties. Since that time
we have learned that she has been missing and
that inquiries have been set on foot concerning
her. In answer to these it appears that she was
lastseen on the lake shore, on her way to Bayou
Couchon. Some fishermen traced hen two miles
in that direction but nothing further has been dis
covered as to her present whereabouts.

A New Spelling OF the Names of Our
Streets.

A New Spelling OF the Names of Our
The perple&ing nomenclature of our Streets
and the difficulty to those strangers who speak
only English Of either pronouncing or writing
many Of them correctly, has been frequently re-
marked. A weknown instance Of this is the fact
that Enghein street is, perhaps, better known now
by the name Of Engine street. But looking over
some of the papers yesterday before the Second
District Recorders Court we saw an enumeration
of the streets of our city which rather leaves, SO
far as heard from, any similar blunder in the
shade. Out of the whole number Of streets enum-
Grated there were but four that we saw where the
spelling was in accordance with that put down on
the maps. The following we select at hazard as
specimens:
Borone Tor Bakist, Crondlet (or Apollo,) FIJI
lipey Tor Dndad, Poyders, Espinade, Barks,
Punchertrain Isoline ST, Louies, Benvill, Tepsco,
Grave, Rampard, Nuncion, Chapatoula, Bratina,
Burbune, etc,
The above we copy from the document which
was yesterday before the court rer5atim ct Rtera,
tim. Itmay not be, perhaps, improper to add
that the author Of the above had been arrested as
a suspicious character.

The Heraids Washington special says on
Saturday last Senor Romero, the Mexican
Minister, sent a dispatchto President Juarex,
notifying him that Hon. l.. D. Campbell. the
u. S. Minister to Mexico, and Lieut.. Gen.
Sherman would arrive at Vera Cruz within .
fortnight.
Mr. Campbell is expected here 10 night,
ana will await the arrival of Gen. Sherman,
who will probably reach here tomorrow.
They will then have an interview with the
President, Gen. Grant, aad the Secretary Of
War, and receive their final instructions, af-
tter which they will depart Immediately for
New York. Mr.. Campbell did not eontem-
plate leaving Ohio for this city for several
days yet, but Secretary Seward telegraphed
him that he must be in readiness TO sail the
10th inst, from New York, as the United
States steamer Susquehanna is to be ready
for her voyage on that date.
Gen. Sherman goes TO Mexico, it is under
stood, to remain there only until the Juarez
Government is once more completely re-es-
tablished, and that in case it should be kourd
necessary to use United States troops to en-.
force the supremacy Of the Mexican republic,
an officer may be present of sufficient prom.
inence to order the entrance of United States
troops into Mexico, and to direct their move
ments when there.
The latest advices received by the Govern.
ment from Mexico, are Of such nature as to
lead to the belief that Gen. Sherman will not
be called upon to exercise the authority With
which he is vested, but his presence there,
and the object Of it being known, win put an
effectual check, it is thought, upon those who
might otherwise be disposed to resist the re-
assumption Of the Government by President
Juarez.
Gen. J. II. Simpson, U. s. A., President
of the Board of Commissioners Of the Union
Pacigc Railroad west from Omaha, and its
branches, has just submitted to the Secretary
of the Interior the Commissioner report on
the eighth section OF thirty miles of the road,
extending from the 240th to the 27Oth mile
post The report represents the section
completed and equipped as first class rail-
road, and was yesterday subuitted, by the
Secretary of the Interior, TO the President,
with the recommendation that the section be
accepted, and the bonds and pateuss for land
due the company be issued agreeably to law,
which at once received the approval and or
der of the President.

who expect Mr.. johnson to change his course
in view of the recent elections will be disap-

The Times special says instructicns were
