boats was held last night ct the Fulton House,
Potomac Ferry C0mpany's wharf, pursuant to
adjournment, to perfect arrangements for the

money was put up for the "Witch OF the Wave"
and ''Little Ella" and 10 O'Clock q. m. on the
first day OF August was fixed upon a. the time
for the race. The election Of Judges, after de-
bate, was postponed until the next meeting,
two weeks hence. Mr.. Crouch was appointed to
prepare the rules governing the race and have
them present ct the next meeting for consider
alton and adoption.
After the meeting adjourned, Capt. Sheckell
suggested 10 the owners of small boats, many OF
whom were present, that they have race on
the same day, starting one hour earlier, and as
an inducement to that end offered q silver cup
as prize, to be handed over to the first boat
out, to be decided by the judges The PROPOSE
tion was favorably considered; and the chances
are that this new feature will draw q large num-
Der of the smaller craft to the spot. All boats
can now enter, those of light draft to enter with
the small boats; the race to be over the same
course ~ the large boats, viz: to Fort Wash

The following few of the reasons why this

| other materials:
l. II has been tested through one of the hottest OF
| New Orleans summers, and found not to soften by
| the heat of the sun.
q Being in general use at the North. it necessa-
| rily must be proof against cold.
g. 1t is as durable as stone and much less expen-
sive.
L. It is perfectly impervious to water. and conse
| quenty quickly become dry when wet.
8. 1t makes no dust in dry mud in wet weather.
g. 1t does not crack or crumbie, nor is it washed
| b. the rain
Z. 1t is impenetrable to grass, weeds water.
g. 1t prevents noxious vapors or gases arising
from the ground beneath and affords no reservoirs
for filth or fostering decompositions.
g. 1t is laid down quickly, and ready tor use when

The talk about wars and rumors OF wars
gave place yesterday to rumors about Col.
Iector Casey and the next Collector. Early
in the morning one rumor was current that
Assessor Joubert had dispatch that Casey
had been removed, but MIR. Joubert had not
seen the dispatch. Next came rumor that
Collector Casey had resigned, and that he
was to be succeeded by Colonel Dillingham;,
the Naval officer. But Colonel Dillingham;
had heard nothing of that accomplished
fact, though he was OF the opinion, from
VIVA! he had heard, that there would be no
danger. Some gentleman, whose name is
not as familiar as household word, sent
slip to Governor Warmoth, on which was
written, "Casey has resigned" But nothing
sranspired to confirm this message. One
gentleman who saw this message reported.
however, that he bad seen a dispatch that
Casey had resigned. It was only copfu'
sion Of IDEAS. Another rumOr was circu'
lated in limited circles that Casey had
and Colonel John Lynch, the
United States Surveyor General for Lou
siana, would be appointed to succeed him.

The LIFE OF BISMARCK, Private and Political,
with descriptive notices of his ancestry.
By Hesekiel, author of 'Faust" and "Don
JUAN" etc. Translated by Kenneth r. III.
Mackenzie, New York: Harper &
Brothers.
The life of the great Prussian Premier, as
witten by his countryman, naturally includes
to some extent a history of Germany and
Prussia. The house of Bismarck is of an
cient renown in Prussian annals. its repre-
sentatives having in nearly every age during
the last six centuries been distinguished in
the field, the cabinet or forum. None, how
ever, rose to so dazzling a height
as the present Count, who has during the
past eight years been considered the fore
most man of Prussia, and, at times, of
Europe. In the volume of 4S9 pages before
us everything relating to the great minister
is related with minuteness of detail, but
not BY any means in such a manner as to
border on the prosy. Bismarck's glory
achieved its highest eminence in July, 1866,
the month of Sadowa. The hold he obtained
then on the confidence of his king and
countrymen has never been shaken. They
regard him as the greatest man of many
ages.

1t is not uncommon to Foo well-attended

account of the Infectious nature of the
disease, must do much toward extending

government and the Board of Health, we

this should not prevent our citizens from
