A CoNFIDENCE MAN ARREsTED.-Am month
or less ago, an individual visited the Car
natz Institute, Prytania street, pretend
ing that he wished to make arrangements to
place his daughter in the school. He gave
his name as Major Howard, connected with
the Mobile and New Orleans railroad as
engineer. His style was rather loftier than
his attire warranted, which fact was noted
by the Madame. He did not conclude ON
anything at that time, but returned shortly
afterward, two or three times. His refined
demands were finally gratified, and he
agreed to appear last Saturday to settle for
the schooling of the daughter who had not
been made visible. The principal of the
seminary was not willing to accept him at
his estimate, and so did not see the caller
last Saturday. Major Howard" had ex-
hibited letters of recommendation from
prominent citizens.
When servant opened the door for him
he was told that the principal was out,
He grandly offered the waiter a check,
wishing to pay for the quarter he had
agreed on, but the check was for much
larger sum than was due. Did he expect
to receive the change in currency? Most
likely he did, but the servant was unwilling
to do business that way. The check and
letters were forgeries, although this was
not known at that time. The fellow then
tried to accomplish his rascality at the
Stamps Academy, giving his name as Ran
dolph. He afterward visited the st. Charles
Academy, still confidential, still unsuccess-
full. The authorities were informed by
teacher in Mrs. Carnatz Institute, when
the adventurer was hunted up 1t was
not difficult to find him, as he
seemed secure in his villainy. He was board
ing with family, where he used his proper
name. prefacing it with the title Colonel.
His name is c. H. Rariden, and he has been
floating around III this section for some
years. When arrested the check and let
tiers spoken of above were found on him,
and the face of them showed they were vile
forgeries. He was taken before the Board
of Police Commissioners, which body sent
him to a Justice of the Peace for cOmmittal.
This will probably bring his career to a
close at least in New Orleans.

FIRE ENGINE FOR ALGIERs.-The steam
ship Mississippi arrived from New York
Yesterday, and brought the new steam fire
engine for that veteran company Pelican
No. l, of Algiers. The engine was built to
order 10y w. LETTERS, of Pawtucket. Rhode
Island and Mr.. J. 7. Condor is the agent
in this city. We think the City Council has
done well for our 0jS-a-ciS, and we hope to
see another steamer in Algiers before long.
When our enterprising citizen Robert Rob
erts, proprietor of the Louisiana Steam Sash
Factory, organized Pelican Fire Company
No. L. twenty years ago, there were no
steam fire engines in use, and to-day there
are very few hand engines among u.s.
Twenty years ago sashes. blinds and doors
were made by hand, and if anybody is inter
ested in improvements, it would pay them
to visit Mr.. Roberts at his factory.

SAvED.-It is pleasant to record honest
deeds, such a one as performed by Patrick
Delaney, keeper of coffeehouse, corner of
Crossman and Wells streets. An English
man, recently arrived, was at his house,
much the worse for liquor. Mr.. Delaney
ascertained that the foreigner had con
siderable sum of money, almost four thou
sand dollars, to be invested in a farm In
one of the country parishes. Mr.. Delaney,
after some trouble gained possession of the
riches and handed the funds over to Ser
geant Mccain for safe keeping, as the
Englishman, in his condition, would surely
be robbed. By this prompt action of the
cotfeehouse keeper and the police stran-
ger was saved from thieves.

The announcement Of the last production
of the "Lancers" drew together a fair con-
course of people. Mr. Wyndham and Miss
Young as Victor and EStclle, succeeded in
enlisting the strong sympathies of the audi
ence as usual, while their comedy lost none
of its accustomed brightness. The audience
followed the changing scenes with as lively
interest as on its first production.
One notable feature introduced this sea-
son is the song of the Marseillaise by Miss
Annie GoOdall. Her rendition of it is
characterized as much by dramatic power
as by sweetness of voice. Verse after verse
was enthusiastically applauded, and at the
end the artist was rewarded with a special
call.
Tonight two comedies, Home" and
"Rosine," are played for the last time, and
on Wednesday will positively be produced,
after months of preparation, the romantic
comedy of "Rocks Ahead" We under
stand that it is founded on fact, and,
strangely enough, no one is more pecu-
liarly fitted perhaps to superintend its pro-
duction than Mr.. Wyndham, some friends
of whom were passengers on the memora-
BILE voyage from which the comedy is de-
rived. From them he has received a reia-
ton of the various incidents, and is thus
placed in a better position to realize the
story.

fired, the barrel of his gun burst, portion

so profusely that before surgeon arrived
life had fled. The Coroner held an inquest,
when these facts were ascertained. The
jury might have returned a verdict censur-
ing the dealer who sold the miserable
weapon.

By some singular construction which we
are unable to comprehend, few OF the
friends of Judge Atocha are inclined to
accept a paragraph in Sundays paper as
rejecting somewhat on his character as an
attorney. The paragraph, which reads as
follows, is as plain as the English language
can make it, 1t was in reference to an arson
case before Recorder Weber, Judge Atocha
prosecuting:
Thus some estimate can be formed as to
what description of testimony is gwen pc
fore our district recorders day after day.
An unconscionable attorney finds little diff,
ficulty in proving nearly anything he or his
client desires, not that it IS eren tahmdte0
such is the case IN this instance, as the mate
rial was ready made and at hand
The good will we bear for the Judge is so
well known that we are surprised that any
one should torture the above paragraph to
his or to our detriment
