APAIACE on WHEELS.

A majority Of the travelling community
are hard to please, no matter what is done
for their comfort and convenience, and
when once dissatisfied, they are inclined
to make use Of ugly and tart expressions
This is fact all over the world, and on
the ''crack" roads of the North, we have
met travellers who complained even Of the
pullman sleeping car" The sleeping
car arrangements of the South have been,
until lately, in their infancy, owing to
causes more national than local, and it has
taken time for our Southern folks to branch
out like our more fortunate brethren of
the North; but the time has now arrived
for something to be done, and none have
known this fact better than Messrs. Pain,
Wang, Sheldon, and the other gentlemen
composing the sleeping car company, run
ming between New Orleans and Louisville.
These gentlemen have just placed on the
road another one of those palaces on
wheels, called the Louisiana" which
was contracted for and built at Louisville,
at the shops of the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad Company, and we have no
hesitation in saying that for beauty and
comfort, as well as design, it has no SUI
perior in America. Light and airy, with
plenty Of room, and excellently ventilated,
4 traveller need not care how long the time
of transit is from point to point. The
original sleeping cars were considered the
models for future builders, but this being
the eve of progress, new designs were de-
vised and completed, and the builders
continued improving, until at last, the
=" Louisiana is presented to view, as the
grandest yet shown to the public. This
car leaves the jackson railroad depot this
evening, at quarter past four O'Clock, for

admiral Dahlgreen was an officer OF
great but unobtrusive usefulness in the
profession to which he devoted his life.
His name has never stood out prominently
before the publicas the hero of any specific
exploits But every duty assigned to him
was executed with anxious faithfulness
and more than average ability. as
The invention of the gun known by his
name, and the various improvements he
made in military projectiles and means OF
offense, will be of importance probably as
long as the necessities of war exist. tits
nearly altogether due to the unobserved
labors of men like Admiral Dahlgren, that
the national arm, both on land and sea,
remains in peace, the efficient nucleus
around which, in time of war, such large
means of offense and defense can be so
rapidly accumulated.

MAXIMILIAN'S WIDOW.

By special dispatch from Brussels we
learn that the ex-empress Charlotte,
widow of Macmillan, is in dying condi-
ton, and the Anal hour is fast approach
ing. Whatever regret may be felt for the
fate of this most estimable and most I'M
happy lady, none can regret her release
from life that could be only one long
sorrow. For the latter part of her days
has been but an illustration of the wise
mans saying, that ''all is vanity and vexa-
ton of spirit"
Her joyous youth was spent in the home
of her father, King Leopold, of Belgium,
where she grew up beautiful and good.
The keen perception of the common peo-
pie regarding the merits or faults of their
superiors, is seldom at fault, and from
these the Princess received the pet name
of ''pretty Charlotte" Scarce had sunny
girlhood ripened into earliest wemanhood,
when she was married to the Archduke
Macmillan, brother of the Emperor of
Austria. Although sanctioned by con-
siderations of state, it was as much love
match as that of Jeanette or Black-Eyed
Susan. A few happy years of married
life, then came Mexico and narrowing
misery. Now, she is descending into the
grave, knowing, if she yet retains the
power of thought, that the grave is all
that is left-the only refuge from sorrow.

ADMIRAL DAHLGREN.

The death of Admiral John A. Dahl
gren, of the United States Navy, was an
nounced by telegraph Wednesday. Adj
miral Dahlgren was in his sixty-frst year,
having been born in Pennsylvania in 1910.
At the age Of sixteen he entered the navy.
His first service was on the Brazilian
station, and shortly after he went to the
Mediterranean station. Meanwhile he
prepared himself for his future career by
close scientific study. He was afterward,
about 1885, employed on the coastsurvey;
and subsequently, in 1S47, he was ap-
pointed to the ordnance department. His
peculiar genius for gunnery had here full
play, and he invented the gun which bears
his name. In 1855 Commodore Dahlgren
took command of the United States man
of-war Cumberland. he In 1861 he was APP
pointed to command the Washington
Navy Yard, where he remained till 1868,
when he was ordered to the command of

ON CARONDELET STREET.

OF course New Orleans has been af-
fected by the attitude Of France and
Prussia toward each other London,
Paris, Frankfort, Hamburg and New York
have been oscillating, quivering, palpita-
ting, and getting generally excited
over the war news; and why should
not New Orleans show an equally
becoming agitation? 1t is true that
the condition of the principal fancies
is not such as to compel any very cautious
observation of other markets as prelim-
mary to ordinary operations, but we must
be in the fashion, and yesterday we tried
to get up a furry in gold. The price
went up from Ia to lis, and fair bust
ness was done at those advanced rates,
sales being regulated entirely by the tenor
of kilograms from New York. There was
more talk about the matter than the occa-
sion warranted, and no one made or lost
any large fortune by the days doings.
ALI kinds of impossible rumors pervaded
the street during the day. Had they been
sufficiently plausible they might have
done some execution upon the unwary,
but as it was, they were treated as they
deserved. A variety Of witticisms, per
petrated by Colonel Sansoni, of the gold
room, appeared upon his bulletin board
from time to time during the day, and
proved about as influential, as to the bust
ness OF the street, as any Of the thousand
and one tales in circulation from more
pretentous sources. Some parties tried
very hard to believe that our little sum-
mer trade would be immensely in
terfered with by European compli-
cations but OF course, that was
ridiculous putting on airs" Stocks were
not changed to the extent Of picayune.

REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY, july is, 1870.

More was done in Ship Island than in
anything else, lint there must be- a very
large smount Of Ship Island stock moved
to make anything like decent business
To prove that assertion, it is only neces-
sary to figure up from our subjoined list
OF operations Yesterdays performances in
the stock referred to. Some seventy
seven hundred shares, counting sales and
re-sales, were put upon the market yes
terday, and they realized the enor-
NOUS sum of S4949 However, the
business kept good many brokers quite
industrious, but how they can make
living by commissions on such days works
is more than an ordinary mind can COM
prehend. Ship Island has ''gone up for
the present. When a regularly organized
company, having great and very costly
public work as its basis and object, and a
huge amount Of stock upon the market,
sees its shares standing considerably more
than ninety-nine per cent below par, it is
time for its managers to busy themselves
in resuscitating the concern or reconcile
themselves to seeing the whole thing drop
into oblivion. We have heard good deal
of what would be done by the new direc-
ton. It is full time to see something &C.
lcomplished to the purpose otherwise
Ship Island will join Petroleum, and half
dozen other late enterprises, in the quiet
OF oblivion.
In Slaughterhouse, nothing was done
yesterday, and Mississippi Valley Levee
was also allowed to rest undisturbed.
A good deal Of disappointment was
freely expressed during the day, because
the citizens Bank did not pay the ex-
pected first installment upon the States
floating debt, out of the proceeds of the
bonds recently negotiated to Messrs.
Hunt & Macauley Something like
$500, 600 was payable yesterday, accord
ing to the general understanding, and
considerable crowd gathered at the bank
to receive it. Three o'clock came with
out bringing any relief to the patient
walters, and the consequence was the
energetic expression of decided dissatis-
faction. Such contretenps does not help
State credit.

In our columns this morning we record
with sorrow the death Of Colonel Jacob F.
sChur, of the United States army. Colonel
Chur has been among us for a few months
-past, but on account of il-health, has made
fewer acquaintances than he otherwise
would have done. For many days he
neither leftlhis room nor bed, and at length
his life yielded to that insidious disease,
consumption. Though his acquaintance
were comparatively few, Colonel Chur was
held in high esteem, and there will be sor
rowing hearts at his funeral rites this morn
ing at eleven o'clock.
