A POPULAR EMPoRIUN.-When a merchant has
been engaged quarter of a century in business,
we can consistently infer that he has obtained
some experience. With this preface, we refer our
readers to the advertisement of that fashionable
furnishing establishment, conducted by Messrs.
Leighton Hayman, corner Of Canal and st.
Charles streets. For the period mentioned above
these gentlemen have been manufacturers of
shirts, and to such a degree of perfection have
they arrived that they can affirm with perfect
veracity that no fdur pas is ever committed in
taking measure or In afiording a satisfactory fit
In addition to this speciality they have msgni.

collars, neck.ties, gloves, hosiery, handkerchiefs,
etc., Which we would advise our friends to call

avenue OF escape. The apartment in which was
confined overlooked river about fifty yards wide.
On the inside, in the garden. guards were sta.
toned. So escape seemed impossible.
One day, as looked from my window, thought
detected the presence of body of armed men
in the plain on the other side Of the river. II i'm
mediately occurred to me that this might be de-
tachment Of British cavalry. But on looking In
the direction OF the course of the stream, detect
ed at some distance another similar body Of men.
IL could not be that they were both English, for
their attitude towards each other was hostile and
their demonstrations menacing. However, had
to furnish my usual daily sport. While on our
way TO the shekhs apartment, noticed among
the guards preparations for departure. The house
hold attendants were also packing up. As took
my place at the board, l also noticed that the
vailed lady gave me glance which was more
Than usually sorrowful, and that the shiekh looked
stern and threatening. My fears were suddenly
reused and deduced the conclusion that as an
enemy was near at hand, removal necessary and
fight imminent, my execution, so long delayed,
was to take place after this our last contest.
While revolving these bitter thoughts In my mind,
the sheikh as usual had won the game. As though
bored by constant success, he was about to sweep
the men from the board. A thought struck me.
II am to die, will at least dispossess your mind
of the idea that you are my superior at chess So
reset my men and his, too, thus pointedy chal-
longing him to one more trial. He turned again to
play. IL was my move and i held the attack
tnrougnout. Aiter seventeen moves. announced
mate in five moves. The sheikh was astonished.
Though provoked, he evidently attributed my sue
cess to lack Of attention his part. So we set to
again. This time the Persian had evidently made
up his mind not to allow himself to be distracted
But again won with ease. The third game re-
suited in like manner. On commencing the fourth,
removed the rock and this time the result was II
anything more disastrous for the sheikh than be-
fore. By this time the chief was wild with rage.
But reset the men. anxious for another game, as
took grim delight in thus revenging myself.
When he at length brought himself to resume
play, crowned my queens knight, signing to him
that with that piece / would mate him. The game
then proceeded as follows nv move of corrse.

IS Exchange Place, March IL, 1869. (
Mr.. Editor-Owing to the constant misrep-
reservations Of parties interested in defeating
the success of the Ship Island Canal, not only as
drainage but also as q commercial enterprise,
the great body of your readers are undoubtedly
misled, and have very erroneous ideas concerning
it. Feeling that this is so, the company deem
that an explanation of their plan and objects is
necessary to refute the statements oil those OPP
posing us, and In giving 1t to show the people
of New Orleans and Jefferson who il is that has
caused all this opposition and the reason why.
The present system Of drainage was established
by law in 1858, q board of commissioners appoint
ed in the several districts. and tax or an assess.
ment levied upon the real estate owners to raise
funds to carry out system of drainage. Let us
see what has been done with the moneys thus COL
lected and we take the amounts from their own
records and guarantee the truth of their state
ment. From the time of the organization of that
board there was collected by them, up to the 3lst
of July, 1868, five hundred and sixty -four thousand
seven hundred and twenty dollars and eight cents,
1854, 100 0s.) This amount includes the eighty
one thousand dollars appropriated by the State.
