Daily clarion and standard. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1866, 1866-05-29

The clerk OF the weather made
sad mistake in his reckoning TINS
spring. For some reason unaceoun
table to himself, as well as others, his
April showers were entirely over
looked until about the 10th of May.
True it was he set about correcting
his mistake, and to make up for lost
time he has from that time to date
given US april showers" almost
daily. The umbrella vendors had in
stituted a suit against him, but the
late showers moistened their eyes and
they relented. The suit has been
withdrawn because it does not suit
the times
AS the business season draws TO
close the town appears to wear more
serious and settled aspect. Old ia
miIiar faces again predominant in the
thoroughfares. Strangers there were
It's true, but their number has mate
rally lessened during the past month.
The hotels are yet full, but not crow
ded like they were during the winter
season. During the last eight months
more strangers have visited New Or
leans than ever before in the same
space of time.
Nothing of interest has occurred
here during the past two weeks to
vary the monotony, if we except one
or two fires. at one Of which from four
to six lives were lost; the election on
the 18th. the Volksfest, Fenian eel
abratiOn and a prize fight.
A difference Of opinion seems to
-exist-heLe among the physicians con-
corning the use Of 'stimulents during
the prevalence of cholera; one class
maintaining that they should be
used in moderation; another that
they should not be used at all. The
opinions of the spiritualists seem
to be in the ascendency. Unadulter-
ated brandy is the kind recommended,
and as Hubbel's cabinet brandy IS
known to be the puTest in market,
there is at present quite a rush for it
The agent, James CONCEAL, wholesale
druggist No. 20 St. Charles street, has
his hands full filling orders for this
favorite beverage
This enterprising druggist is also
now offering the public "Gonegars
Cholera Specific" a remedy prepared
according to a prescription which has
been used with the greatest success
in Asia and Europe since the cholera
had prevailed in those countries.
1t is endorsed universally by the
most eminent physicians on the lat
ter Continent. Should the cholera
make its appearance this specific will
come into universal use.
A street railroad mania Is prevail
inc here to an unheard of extent. At
the last sale of street railroad stock,
shares brought POI, and even this is
considered a safe investment Such is
the demand for this kind of stock
A street railroad is just put in opera
ton from Canal street along Nv Levee
to the POnchatrain Railroad Depot
Another is being laid in CarOndelet
street, and shortly others will extend
from Canal up St. Charles street and
up New Levee to the Stock Landing.
| The truth is the people have got in
the way of riding and will no longer
walk if they can help it. Even the
sons and daughters of Ham no longer
| walk, but crowd the ''star cars" from
! daylight till midnight. Surely we are
| getting to be fast people
The subject of building a Royal
Theatre on Canal street, which will
eclipse all others in the South, is now
being agitated In fact, plans for the
same are even now being prepared
and if no serious epidemic puts stop
to movement on foot, such Theatre
will be completed in time for the next
gay season.
A committee will soon leave New
| Orleans for the City of Mexico. 1t
| will 90 for the remains of ex-Gover-
nor Allen. The places of amusement
yet open are well patrOnized, although
the heat for several days past has been
somewhat oppressive. The nights
however, it has been remarked, are
unusually cool
Subscription lists are open in the
city for the relief of the terrible dis
tress IN the overlooked region"
The convention Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, Diocese of Louis
lana, is sitting Mt St PauTs Chnrol
Tor the first time in FIVE years. There
is a full attendance.
Ex-senator Gwin, who has been
confined in Fort Jackson since Septem-
Der last, has been set at liberty and is
now in this city
Gen. Hays has been induced to take
the office of Sheriff of this Parish
The trial of the parties charged with
the murder of J. F. Gruber, is now
pending.
The police officers in this city are
to be dressed in uniform forthwith, so
says the Mayor.
The Police Commissioners have sus-
pended the Chief of Police, Col Thos.
J. Adams The charge against him is
the issuance of an order to his subor-
dinates, instructing them not to arrest
| persons known to be good citizens and
gentlemen, on the charge of carrying
concealed weapons. The grounds up
on which Col Adams acted were that
the city is filled with dangerous char
acters; that the police force is under
| gong reorganization, and that IN
| der these circumstances citizens OF
well known responsibility, should be
| permitted to arm themselves for self
defence, The Grand Jury took up the
matter and found true bill, where
upon he was suspended, as above sta
led. The trial will come off on Mon
day the 21st inst
Col Adams, no doubt, considered
he was acting for the best interests OF
our citizens, and it remains to be seen
whether or not his course will be sus
tanned. CRESCENT CITY
