Australasia, it is said, is thinking about
setting up shop on her own hook. The
withdrawal of the British troops has
alienated the heart of the people by i'm
posing on them the necessity of protect
ing themselves. This is a novel reason,
that an island three thousand miles from
anywhere should allow its patriotism to
be disturbed because it is left to protect
itself. Do the wild sea waves modest the
bushrangers? or do the cultivated convicts
threaten to 60 through thethousands ofloy-
al Britishers who transported themselves
voluntarily to the gold fields of the island ?
1t has always been thought that there was
strong national party in Australia, but the
assertion was contradicted by the fact
that the people never made any move in
that direction. 1t is not possible that the
two OF three regiments of English troops,
stationed on the island, ever overawed
population Of well nigh half million.
Perhaps the American sentiment has crept
IN and is now cropping out, that rep
resentation. ought to 60 hand in hand with
government and in this event we may
expect to hear that the demand for indie
pendence has been coupled with an alter
native that peace can be maintained by
allowing half dozen Australians to show
their nugget breastpins in the House of
Commons.

The Firemen's Charitable Association
were creditors of the city to the amount
of, say, $150,000. In settlement the As
ISOLATION took the city's seven per cent
bonds at 821. The fremen were indebted
to two of our insurance companies in the
sum of $4,000. These companies, with
praiseworthy and public-spirited liberality
(by the exercise of which they will lose
nothing in the estimation of our citizens),
have taken city bonds at S22 from the
Association, in settlement of their claims,
so that this noble charity loses not plea
yune by this transaction in city bonds, by
the aid Of the companies referred to.
These companies are the Mer-
chants and New Orleans, and the
firemen will not forget them hereafter.
In fact, the merchants took the last thou
sand dollar bond paid them by the Fire
mems Association at 87a, thus completely
cancelling the obligation. These lauda-
BILE transactions evince at once the conf
dence of two sound financial institutions
in the credit of the city, and disposition
to aid the fremen's benevolent organiza-
ton that is truly commendable. 1t is to
be hoped that other creditors Of the Fire
mems Charitable Association may follow
these worthy examples.

The folio wing are few of the reasons why this
CONCRETE should be used in preference to all
other materials:
l. It has been tested through of the hottest OF
New Orleans summers and found not to soften by
the heat of the sun.
2. Being in general usesat the North, II necessa-
rily must be proof against cold.
4 g. 1t is as durable as stone and much less expen-
sive.
4. 1t is perfectly impervous to water, and conse-
quenty quickly becomes dry when wet.
S. 1t makes no dust in dry or mud in wet wea-
Their.
6. 1t does not crack or crumble, nor is it washed
by the rain.
Z. 1t is impenetrabe to grass, weeds or water.
8. 1t prevents noxious vapors or gases arising
from the ground beneath and affords no eservo1rs
for filth or fostering decompositions.
9. 1t is laid down quickly, and ready for Use
when finished
TO- 1t is easily taken mp easily relaid, and easily
repaired when necessary.

1t may be irrevent in US to say it, but
we can not refrain from remarking that
the entire Christian religion is snare, if
it is to be condemned because now and
then minister falls from grace. And to
finish up the connection, We accept gen.
eral reputation for the Republican party
if it is to be measured by Wickliffe. But
as the church dismisses its erring pastors,
and as the Republicans impeach their IN
faithful officers, it is to be hoped that both
will live to do the world as much good
hereafter as they have done heretofore.

James e. McBeth died at Orient, Long
Island on the tenth instant. Mr.. McBeth
was well known in New Orleans, and very
large number of our citizens will read the
notice of his demise with sincere regret.
He was a warm and generous friend,
sound and able lawyer, an excellent man of
business, a brave soldier and competent and
efficient officer, and kind and affectionate
husband and father. He was admitted
to the bar in the city of New York in 1869
During the administration of President
johnson he held an important position in
the internal revenue service, the duties of
which were performed with rare ability and
fidelity. During the last Presidential cam
paign he was an active member of the
Hancock club Of this city. Resigning his
office after the election, he resumed the
practice of the law, and gained a large
practice in revenue cases, in which he was
remarkably successful. He fought through
the war on the Federal side, entering the
army as private and graduating as first
lieutenant, after refusing several promo
tons. His army record was OF the best
character forpersonal courage and efficiency
az an officer. He was gentle and brave.

The war for the Congressional nomina-
ton in the First District is agitating the
Democratic family at a fearful rate.
Seven Richmonds in the field, and only
one Richard to slay. Let us count the
nags that have been trotted out so far:
A. W. Walker, silent, shrewd and shifty,
from st. Bernard; Anthony Sambola, vol
uble, popular and heptasophic; George
Cronan, mild, peaceful but Fenianish; E.
L. Jewell, commercial, political and aero
batic-all of New Orleans; Thomas Green
Davidson, legal, learned, consistent and
luminous; Louis st. Armand, polished,
courtly and Of the ancient regime. If
there is another half dozen what's the

An anxious inquirer, more nervous for
information than the veritable Brown him
self, bothers us with conundrum, which
we are constrained to turn over to the
Bulletin for an answer thereto, 1t is as to
the right of Mr.. Jewell to prefix his name
with the ornamental handle which he has
attached thereto. Did he get the title
Honorable by being shown out of the
Senate Chamber, or by being sent to New
York in the engraving business? 1t is no
would like to know. He is full of ques-
tons.

p
the Nicolson patent, our old Demo-
cratic Council committed the city to
a heavy job. The same defective
pavement that now affiicts the people
of the Sixth District is to be
extended further down, until its progress
will be checked by meeting the square
blocks at the circle. The present city
government has little or no option IN the
matter further than to hold the con-
tractors to strict compliance with their
agreement. For the city was bound fast
by the acts of their predecessors, and
they do not feel at liberty to incur the
liability for damages which breaking of
the contract would involve. They can,
however, provide for the future. There
are other unpaved streets and sidewalks
in jefferson that require attention, and
which will no doubt receive attention at
en- early day.
There has of late been an important
improvement introduced in preparing
wood for use, exposed to alterations OF
drouth and dampness. By the introduce
ton Of creosote oil, by the Seely process,
timber may be preserved from decay
for forty years or longer We
learn that pavements thus pre-
pared can be laid as cheaply as the Nieol-
son that it can be repaired in case de-
pressions in the surface occur from the
giving way of the foundation soil, and
that it will present smooth, strong, clean
and durable surface. All the materials
used are obtainable in our own State,
which is worth considering. 1t has been
suggested that the new process be tried on
the unpaved side of st. Charles street,
parallel with the Nicolson pavement, so
that fair test may be made of the relative
merits of each. For it seems to be agreed
by common consent that something like
one or the other Of these patents should
be used in laying down pavement in the
city at the present time. They are some
what similar in their features, with the
exception Of the manner Of preparing the
blocks But in this respect there is wide
difference Unless the lumber is made
proof against decay, it will not pay to use
it at all. And it will be conceded that
while We are constructing public improve
ments we should take care to do the work
well.

Commodore Vanderbilt and Admiral Fisk
having arranged an armistice in the war of

vides for an immediate advance on the

The fares to ST. Louis and Chicago remain
unchanged at twenty-five dollars and half

fares to Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus,
Cleveland, Dayton, Erie, Buffalo and few

AT CHALQNS.

If it turn out that the French forces
are fortunate enough to avoid disaster
and concentrate at Chalons, then indeed
will come the tug of war. 1t is magnif-
cent point for concentration, with many
miles of underground defenses, and un-
less the position can be turned by the
able leaders Of the Prussian armies, the
most bloody battle will there be fought
ever recorded in the annals of var. Upon
the success Of the French will depend the
safety of Paris, for the fall Of Chalons
will be the fall Of the French capital.
A triumphant march Of less than hun
bred miles, with few hundred thousand
Of undrilled French militia to sweep
from their war path, will carry the victori-
Gus Prussians to the metropolis Of fashion
and France. "There, the gates will be
opened to them, for it is idle to talk of
resistance, whatever ornaments may
frown over the great wall, where no army,
and no feeling of hostility against King
William, measurable with that prevailing
against the French Emperor, will be en-
countered. The stern old war horse of
HohenzollerR-hated name will dictate
the military fashions for time, and in
the world Of lace and tinsel the purest
styles will be touched with the Prussian

The machine shops belonging to the Mis-
sissippi Central Railroad, at Water Valley,
are now finished, and are said to be the
largest and most complete establishments
of the kind in the Southwest. From the
number of hands employed in the various
departments this establishment will do
much toward extending and building up
Water Valley. 1t is thought, however, that
when the machine establishments nearer
home, the Chattanooga, the Jackson, and
the Louisiana and Texas, receive the addi-
tons contemplated and in progress, the
very largest and most complete machine
establishments in the Southwest will be
found in close connection with New Orleans

A correspondent of the Rochester, New
York, Chronicle knows couple who started
a week ago on a bridal tour to Maine and
Canada. They secured no room, thinking
they could get one on the boat. Much to
their disgust, they had to sleep on the cabin
floor, where the bride had her nose badly
scratched by a chairpost, and the bride
groom was temporarily disfgured in mus
cular discussion with a Celtic gentleman of
large size. The bridal tour was abandoned,
and the pair returned, looking as if they
had quarreled with a contemplating ma
chine.

craft has done it in Italy, and the result is

The difference is, that an Englishman is

the obscurity of the poor-house to making
himself nuisance on the highway. Let
