Some few days ago. man named Michael
Doherty, Vas arrested IN this city BY. detec-
tive Harrgen, IN consequence Of . telegram
from the Governor OF Louisiana, saying
that ne was wanted down there to answer
to charge Of murder. Sergeant Harrigan
having received description Of him, found
Doherty standing ON the corner Of Fourth
and Morgan streets and arrested him.
A telegram was sent to the Mayor Of
brashear City, Louisiana. where the a.
legged murder was committed TO send . re-
quisition for Dohetty immediately. The
Mayor answered, "Hold Doherty, viii for
ward rcquisiti0n and Ofhcer."
After . delay Of hvea or six days, . man
named w. A. Alden, deputy constable Of
the parish Of g. Mary, Louisiana, arrived
with . roquiettton from the Governor Of
Louisiana on 0OvernOr Brown. Upon his
arrival here, Alden. identified Doherty at
once, but claimed he did not have money
enough to pay their expenses back to
Brashear City.
He afterward had an interview with some
friends Of Doherty's, and writ of habeas
corpus was takon out for Doherty before
the Criminal Court. Alden, when the
matter came up before Judge Primm this
morning, swore that Doherty was not the
man he wanted, and that he feared to take
negroe would mob his prisoner. He did
not appear to know half as much about the
man as he did when he first arrived.
Doherty, he said, did not answer the de-
ecription of the man he wanted. Judge
Primm then, at his request, laid the case
over for five days till an oficer could come
up who would recognise him. i
The Chief Of Police and Sergeant Harri-
gan looked upon tho whole matter - hav-
ing something suspicious about it. They

The Mobile Tribune says of the firemen's
concert and their New Orleans visitors:
Jaegers Silver COrnet Band, which is to
give the concert at the theatre on Monday
night next, preceding the grand firemen's
ball, will come over from New Orleans with
Perseverance Fire Company Fo. l3, of which
efficient company MIR. Fitzpatrick is fore
man and Mr.. N. Lardner is president. 1t is
through the kindness and courtesy of these
clever gentlemen from our sister city that
Professor Jaeger is permitted to give this
concert and to furnish music for the ball
which follows, No. IL having all claim upon
his distinguished band.
We know that our people, as well as the
management of our theatre, will duly ap-
preciate this, and it is scarcely necessary to
bespeak hearty welcome for Perseverance
No I3, for our New Orleans friends are al
ways more than heartily welcome to the
best that our Gulf City can afford. We
would be glad to have them among us much
Oftener than they come. Of course, this notice
is meant for all who come from the Cres-
cent City.
That Perseverance No. l3 shonld be will
ing to assist the management of our theatre
in their praisew0rth efforts to add pleasure
to the firemen's celebration is not strange,
for they are good friends to the Academy of
Music, which theatre in New Orleans is un-
der the seme efficient management as our
own, and that institution, according to the
press of that city, is worthy of all the lib
eral patronage it receives.

These "Adyentures" form bo6k which

twenty-five years of aetpal expesienos. Il
i . graphic portrayal Of phases Of lie
which have mover before got intp books,
and 10 full Of amusement and inst1uotion
for al ages and al classes. What gives this
book its peculiar interest to New Orleans =
the fact, that their author, now oae of The

this veritsble autobiography. Besideu. the

The pleasing simplicity Of the authors style
is one Of its greatest charms, giving . sest
to tho narrative, which IL in itself . most
remarkable ono. The story Of the boys
penniless journey is not new, but it acquires
new interest from it, manner Of telling.
What would be commonplace in other
words il here vivid and novel, wonderful
and picturesque. The life on the FLOATING

interesting in al its features, while the
economical tour Of Europe IL tale which
excites our admiration, If not our desire OF
emulation. It il difficult to imagine : life
90 full of adventure followed in the midst
Of our prosaic society. We can force our
minds to believe in Robinson Crusoe, Or the
Swiss Family Robinson; and who has not
believed in them without exerting any
mental pressure! But here IL the story Of
. boy shipwrecked, not ON the conventional
desert island, but ON the broad, civilized
American continent, which is ~ full Of ID
venture and hair-breadth escapes - any
tale Of tho seas or the jungles. Indeed, it
merits place alongside these fabrications,
as Of similar though different interest.

Mary stuart.

The character Of Mary, Queen Of Scots,
in its romantic aspect Of fascination, has
made an impress ON the public mind that
will hardly ever be erased by the efforts Of
stern reality to strip history Of its romance
and clothe it in tho sober garb Of truth.
This may be said also of many othor points
Of history, even whom truth is attainable.
But with regard to Mary Stuart, people re-
fuse to part with the agreeable impressions
derived from romantic history, or historic
romance, to substitute for it the d,sagreeable
and the repellant. w all know that Mary was
accused OF appalling crime, and whether the
accusations were true or false, she commit
ted unaccOuntable and inexcusable follies;
but we turn away from the contemplation
of these, and love to remember only the
talented queen, the beautiful woman, her
attainments and graces. This feeling is
enhanced when We reflect that whatever
might have been her faults, it was not for
these she suffered bloody death, but that
the tragedy was tho result of cold-blooded
policy, not in the least disguised BY the
hypOcritical reluctance of Elizabeth to
ratify the doom.
The character of Queen Mary a imper-
sonated by Mrs. Bowers, at the Academy of
Music. partakes largely, if not wholly, Of the
romantic. We SEQ before Us not the queen
whom John Knox denounced and anathem-
lied, but the Mary of Lochlevin, casting
spell upon all who approaches her; the queen
for whom men were ready to die, to whom
even the ruthless of Ruthven and the stern
fanaticism Of the ana-baptist steward paid
at least partial tribute.
In her rendition of the character of Nary,
Mrs. Bowers possesses the immense advan-
tage of personal fitness. She looks the
queen, and her every movement gives the
audience vivid idea of what the graceful
and dignified Mary might have been in her
prime of popularity, before evil counsels
had brought forth dethronement and ruin.
To give all the delicate shades of the char
acter as Mrs. Bowers gives them, amidst all
the variations of coutending and vehement
passion, Of sorrow, despair, and horror of
death; all this requires talent Of high and
peculiar order. We do not hesitate to say,
that although "the cant of criticism" which
may find occasion to carp at every histri-
onic effort, might find something to except
to, even in this accomplished actress, as .
finished conception, we have never seen
Mrs. Bowers impersonation Of Mary Stuart
exceeded; seldom equaled.
d. "Mary Stuart" will be repeated tonight
at the Academy of Music, to an audience
quite as appreciative, we hope, as that
which Witnessed the performance Thursday
evening. fvt tfAE

day taken before Recorder Houghton for

The wonderful thing about the 1ribuse's
account is the self assurance of q reporter
who processes to have visited the house
without any authority. He looked so much
like gambler, the blonde bald-headed gen.
tleman who has charge Of the house, never
mistrusted he was . reporter. The most
astounding thing in the whole account is the
assertion that the reporter refused to take
supper, having been invited. We judge it
to be the first instance ON record.

SIR-Referring to section nine, Revised
Marine Hospital Regulations of 1870, have
the honor to call your attention to tho fact
that on all vessels plying to and from this
port, and, indeed, may say on all the
Western river vessels, the accounts, in
cluding crew list, are kept and balanced by
the trip instead of by the month. Hence.
the requirement of said section nine
that the hospital lists be rendered monthly
at the custOmhOuse at the expira-
tion of each and any month has pro-
duced much inconvenience to masters,
and 1 think has been further attended by
inaccuracy. therefore suggest that said
section be 60 far modified as to authorize
that in any case where trip shall be COM
menced in one calendar month and com
pleted in another, the crew list be rendered
in the month in which the trip is completed.
For example, suppose q trip to be com
menced in the latter part of March and COM
pleted in April, the list for the former month
would include all trips completed therein,
and in like manner all completed trips made
in the latter month would be stated therein.
This of course suppOses that one or more
completed trips may he made in one month,
but provides for the statement of trips at
the END OF the month IN Wnlcn cOmpleUeu.
BY making this modification Of section
nine, l think you will secure greater ac-
curacy to the accounts, and am quite sure
that you will render great convenience to
our river men, which would be greatly ap-
preciated by them. .ts
