Probable Failure OF the Cotton Crop
The Ftllbuster rted
Suspension of a Private Banking House.

NEW ORLEANS, July l5.-Consderable COM
plant comes from the rural districts to the effect
that the recent heavy rains In the Southwest
have materially tnterfered with the prospects of
the cotton crop this season, the rain having
caused growth of grass so rapid as in many
cases to smother the cotton and render the de-
velopment of the plant impossible, especially
worm has also made its appearance in the upper
paris hes, sweeping everything in its track, so
that the present indications are that the crop
will be partial, If not q total, failure.
Late advices of private nature from Texas
assure me that, owing to the occasion made by
the execution OF Maximilian, o reorganization
of the Order Of the Knights of the Golden Cir
Gle has taken place, under the title OF the "Order
of Maximilian," and reliable information is in
possession of parties here as TO the numbers
and extent of the organization which is stated
to exceed ordinary supposable limits. Certain

Important negotiations are in progress be-
to the settlement Of the Alabama claims upon
the basis of the purchase, by the United States

How THE BEER WILL Flow TO-DAY, and all
the succeeding days throughout this great
singing festival, is already a matter of much
discussion. That all our TeutonIc citizens will
drink heavily of that cooling beverage in honor
of their visitors, it is but tTightto suppose. From
what can be learned, our city brewers have, by
1t is q well-known fact that during Saturday,
Sunday, and Monday evenings the beer-carts
moved necessarily. A question of harmony is
no doubt important, especially where host of
Teutons drink in style commemorative of
that customary in the "Fatherland," with It's
accomplishments of bassos profundis and hic.
coughing tenors. One thing, however, is cer-
tain. that with the progressive flow of beer, har-
mony OF spirit invariably prevails. and that
brotherly kindness brought on by a call for
"zwei' more, tends to bind Our Teutonic friends
more closely together.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY
About dusk last evening the Spring Garden
Hose Company moved down Seventeenth street
to join the nremen's parade In honor of their
Connecticut visitors, and, as usual, following in
its wake, came a crowd of hangers-on common
to such occurrences. When at seventeenth and
Wallace streets two young men named Michael
Condy and George Ellis, alias Peter Wilson, left
the mass and entered the yard of the dwelling
of Mr.. Childs, on the northwest corner of these
streets, by means OF an open back gate The
inmates being all out, these persons commenced
their burglarious transactions by prying open
the windows A bricklayer then repairing

crossed over the way and called upon one Mr..
Brooks to aid him in their capture, and before
the men had successfully opened the barriers to
their ingress they were nabbed and handed
over TO a police officer of the Ninth District.

A SoRRowFUL CAsE-EFFEoTs OF "VTTRIoL
THROWING" About two months ago, as
our readers will remember, q case OF "vitriol
throwing" occurred in the neighborhood of
Ninth and Coates streets The sufferer by this
outrage was young girl of sixteen years, by
the name OF Kate Gamble, who resides with her
parents, on Ninth street, above Coates, and is of
q respectable and comfortably situated family.
She had been sent to neighboring shop on an
errand, and just as she was entering the yard
gate on her return about O'clock in the even.
Ing, an unknown man accosted her by name
and threw in her face a quantity of vitriol The
result was a sad Disagreement OF her counte-
nance. which misfortune has 80 wrought upon
her mind since, that she hes entirely lost her
reason, and is now raving maniac. Her friends
endeavor to conflne her to the house, but every
now and then she escapes from custody and
wanders all over the city, without proper cloth
ing A few days since, she was found as far
down town as South street, bareheaded and
barefooted, She is continually lamenting her
misfortune. and talking about replacing her
disfgured face with another and better one.
The wretch who perpetrated this outrage has
not yet been detected, but it is to be hoped that
his name will in time be discovered, and the
proper punishment meted cut TO him.
