Louisiana, that had been deposited with the Audi

in federal possession until, through the action of
the legislature, last winter, a successful applica

The third petroleum cOnfagratiOn was yester-
day morning, about o'clock, inaugurated in our
midst, and the engines, twelve hours after were
still playing upon the smoulderng flames. 1t
originated in the warehouse of the Petroleum
Vapor Stove Company, and of this and the store
Immediately beneath it (bIr Joseph Coulon's)
there is now nothing but vapor left to tell the
tale. This building was in the center of the fine
block at the corner Of Camp and Poydras streets,
and at one time the general apprehension among
the crowd who were gathered below was that the
whole block would be consumed. The sufferers
by the fire, besides those we have already men
toned, are the German Gazette, who have at pre-.
sent more paper wet down than they will for
some time need ; Messrs. Bloomfield &EStee, who
escaped the flames, but were less lucky with the
water. We are pleased to learn that they are
partially insured. The portion of the building at
the corner of Poydras street, occupied by G. W.
sizer, was but slightly injured.
The fire is yariously attributed to the pouring
out of oil with lamp at hand, or to the drop
ping of match into a bucket of petroleum. As
twas question only of time when the building
would be caught on fire with the latter substance
stored within, the matter is not CT much con
sequence.
There are some objections to even petroleum
fire, but it must be admitted that regarding the
flames merely in an aesthetic point of view, the
effect was sublime. There was nothing to be seen
but the ordinary pointed flames for the first hour,
but once reaching the petroleum it suddenly
sprung fifty feet into the air like the babbling up
of an immense column of water or as if the dome
of building had suddenly been surrounded by
flame.
We cannot close our account without just
tribute to the exertons of our fire department: 1t
has always ranked as the first in any American
city, and its conduct on yesterday more than ever
entitled it to be thus regarded

A spiritualist named Richard Ayers committed
suicide Saturday in Pittsbnrg Pa, by hanging
himself to the baiustrade of the stairway in the
second story of his residence. BE had for long
time been laboring under kind of mania which
led him to believe that his body was beWitched by
some adverse spirits. He threatened frequently
ito dispose of his body that his spirit might re-
ceive fair play" On Saturday he took clothes
line and went up stairs Immediately after break
fast saying to his wife: There was no use in
delaying it any longer; his body must be disposed
off, His wife thought little of the remark, but
afterwards when she went up stairs, she found
him hanging quite dead.
Not long since two boys, named Gordon and
Rich, were quietly lying on the ground under q
tree in an open lot in Brighton, Mass, when q.

the knee, and passing downward lodged some
four inches below where it entered. The boys
made their way to the Office of surgeon, who
extracted the ball from young Gordonis leg and
the wound is now healing. Neither of the boys
heard any gun discharged, and probably the per-
son who fired the shot was not aware of the harm
he caused.

Inquest Upon the Rody of Emile NJ. Bry.

Inquest Upon the BODY of Emile H. Bry
In our yesterday mornings issue, we gave an
account of a man who was only known by the
name of Emile, who was generally supposed to
have hired room for the purpose of committing
suicide, and who was actually found dead in bed
the day after entering. ga sealed letter. it will
be remembered, had previous to his death been
written to the coroner and left upon the mantle
piece An inquest was yesterday held upon the
body, and as the verdict rendered was death from
swamp fever, the case appears little more singu-
lar than we then stated. By the evidence it ap-
pears that Emile had ate a hearty dinner, and be-
fore retiring had stood up at his mantlepiece and
written letter to the coroner. (There was no
other way of writing in the room, and he must there
fore have been strong enough to stand up.) For
what purpose was this letter written? To tell the
coroner in case he should happen to die, to give
him a respectable burial?
1t thus appears that man who was sufficiently
well to hunt up lodgings on foot, had a PRESENT.
ment of his death so vivid that he was induced to
make some sort of provision for it a few hours
before the event actually occurred. The case
would seem improbable in q novel, but we are in
cned to believe that the coroners inquest came
to a right conclusion. The following is correct
copy of the letter addressed to DR.. Delery:

artists are at present engaged on the sculp-
tural ornamentation of the two sides. The
facade is necessarily the portion least ad-
yanced toward completion nevertheless, the
magnificent building has made such rapid pro-
gress within the last few months that the grand
opera is already one of the richest ornaments
of the capital. Demolitions for the approaches

Mexican Cotton.

To the Editor of the New Orleans Crescent
take tire liberty Of calling your attention to
| some samples Of cotton which have iustreceived
! from the country, and which submit to your ex
animation, and that of your readers and cotton
planters in general.
The Monterey long staple silk cotton, but lately
called the Tippehaw, by a correspondent in De
Bows Review, was introduced into Louisiana
from Mexico by my friend Mr.. Eugene B. Olivier,
| of st. Mary parish, La, who first cultivated the
same IN 1860 and has again resumed its culture
this year The staple is nearly as long and as silky
as the Sea Island cotton; the bolls are thick on
the bush and in rainy weather do not fall as easily
as those of the ordinary cotton. They do not
| open all at the same time, as is the case with our
ordinary cotton, thus enabling the planter to
| gather the cotton with more ease and without
loss.
Mr.. Olivier after a careful examination of the
| Monterey cotton, has found its advantages numer-
| GUS. 1t is cleaner than the ordinary cotton and
perhaps more prolific. Furthermore, this cotton
gives one pound of clean cotton to every two and
half pounds of cotton in seed, when the ordinary
cotton will take three and some times three and
half pounds of cotton in seed to make one pound
of clean cotton,
| Let all your readers who desire good article
see for themselves, and look at the samples send
you, both of clean cotton and cotton in seed, and
let all planters who wish good article procure
the Monterey silk cotton seed, which I shall soon
offer for sale shall inform your readers, through
your columns, as soon as shall receive the seed.
Meanwhile shall always be happy to give them
all the information they may desire, and show
them the samples have received if they will call
at my office No, ia Bourbon street, from to 8.
remain, very respectfully, your obedient servant.
| L. MILLAUDON.
| 1--WE have received the samples of cotton above
referred to by Mr.. Millaudon and they fully come
up to his description. Parties who may desire to
this cotton respectfully requested to call at
