Boarding House Life.

Oliver Wendell Holmes writes: "To think
OF il! Not even a dog to lick his hand or a
cat to purr, and rub her fur against bin!
OH these boarding houses! What forlorn
people one sees stranded on their dcs0Iate
shores! Decayed gentlewomen, with the
poor wrecks of what once made their house
holds beautiful disposed around them in
narrow chambers as they best may be, com
ing down day after day, poor souls, to sit at
the board with strangers, their hearts full
Of sad memories which have no language
but sigh, no record but the lines of sorrow
Oh their features; orphans, creatures with
growing tendrils and nothing to cling to:
lonely rich men, casting about them what
to do with the wealth they never knew how
to enjoy when they shall no longer worry
over keeping and increasing it; young men
and young women, lett to their instincts
unguarded, unmatched, save by malicious
eyes, which are sure to be found and to find
occupation i'll these miscellaneous collec-
tons of human beings, and now and then

with just the resources needed to keep the
radical moisture from entirely exhai;ng
from his attennated organism, and busving
himself over point OF scicnceo or compiling
hymn-bOok, or editing grammar or die

houses, whom we can not think Of without
feeling how sad it is when the wind is NOS

Killing a .Catnmount.

Yesterday "wednesday evening, Mr

near by there were two animals seen, sup
posed to be the panthers reported to have
walked the streets Of thIs city with impun.

and went in pursuit of them. Coming up
with them he fired, killing one of them at q
distance of two hundred yards-a verv
good shot. The other took to the swamp,
Mr.. Hauser followed as close as the nature
OF the ground would permit, and fired three
shots at the animal, which, on the third
fire, fell to the ground, but the dogs could
not be persuaded to go in and fetch it out
and Mr. Hauser did not care about going in
himself
The killed animal is said to be a eata-
mount, which is species of wild cat. and
as 1t measures five feet from the tip of the
nose to the socket of the TAIL it is an I'M
usually large specimen. Probably, after
all, 1t may be a panther; but, until tits de

Corn for Europe
The St. Louis Democrat aav4o

II6 l5J. LUUIs UcNIJCTlTI a3NE9
1t has finally become an indisputable fact
that bulk grain may descend the Missis-
sippi river and proceed to a European mar
ket, Via the gulf, with as much safety as
attends its transit via the lakes and New
York city. Cargoes of corn from New Or.
leans to Liverpool are now becoming quite
common, and ceases to attract attention.
On Saturday last the iron steamer st. Louis
cleared from New Orleans with 10000
bushels aboard, and the rate charged was
thirteen Fence per bushel. Our object here
is to note the high rate of freight asked,
and we are told the captain wanted four
teen pence, making cotton the basis of his
grain charge! What stupidity! Cotton is
a freight rated everywhere higher than
grain, which is rated as fourth class If this
sort Of figuring is to obtain in New Orleans,
the great water route may as we'll ''dry up''

The FLORIDA ship Canal.

The St, Louis Democrat of Wednesday
says:
Mr.. j. T. Wiswall, of Mobile, is in the
city, and was on Change yesterday. He is
deeply interested in the Success OF the pro
posed ship canal across the peninsula OF
Florida from st. Marks to Fernandina.
This canal is entirely practical, and would
be OF vast use to the government as well as
q great aid to our. interior and foreign com
merce, by giving Mobile short and safe
outlet to the Atlantic. Mr. WiswaIl
thiHks the various Boards OF Trade
of the West should adopt reso-
buttons requesting the Legislatures of
their respective States to memorialize Con
gress upon this subject he believes that
if Congress were thus urged survey would
be ordered at once, and the great utility of
the canal demonstrated. We have no doubt
if Mr.. Wlswal would take the matter in
hand he could procure the adoption by the
Exchange board of directors of just such
d resolution as he might wish respecting
this important project. st. Louis is deeply
in everything that pertains to
adding new avenues to the ocean, and
would undoubtedly respond to Mr. Wis
wallis proposition heartily if she had an OPP

A WASHINGTON special saws;

1t appears TO be pretty generally believed
by those informed on the subject that the
mixed claims commission will make heavy
awards to the British claimants for cotton
seized during the war. A gentleman who
has ample facilities for ascertaining the
facts, expresses the opinion that the awards
in favor of these claimants will go far to-
ward making an offset to the awards in IA
Vor OF the United States made by the arbi
traitors of the Geneva conference. One
party alone in New York, it il said, has
about twenty claims pending, averaging
about $4,000 each, ali of which must be
rated valid and there are many more on
t!he same footing, some of which are larger
in amount

Ingenious Smuggling Device Frustrated.

New YORK, September 8-Fjfteen thou
sand cigars were found Struggled on the
steamer MORO Castle, from Havana done
up in rubber bags, ready to be thrown over
board as the steamer came up the harEor
from Sandy Hook. Two small boats fol
lowed the steamer from off the Hook some
distance up the bay, evidently waiting to
pick them up. The presence of customs
officers on board, who boarded the steamer
some distance below, prevented the success
OF the smugglers, who are first ward poll
ticians, and who have been engaged in this
business for a long timeo All the cigars
were Of the finest brand.

A TRIANGULAR STABBING AFFRAY.

Vernon Park Becomes the Battle Ground of
Thieves-Threc ofthem Slash ut Each Other
with knlves-0ne of the Parties Believed to
be Fatally Wounded.
The brief reign Of pence which the city has
been enjoying Was disturbed yesterday after
noon by a desperate and bloody quarrel between
three West Side r1fians. The affray occurred
in Vernon Park, which ID the daily and nightly
haunt Of all the housebreakers and highwaymen
who have their homes in the Twelfth street po-
lice precinct. But little is known OF 1t by the
authorities, as two OF the parties have thus far
managed to escape arrest, and the third is so
near the point Of death 90 to be unable,
even it he felt so disposed, to give them any in
formation. From Wlat has been learned from
persons living in the vicinity Of the park, how
ever, it appears that two roughs, whose names
could not be given, became involved in quarrel
with each other, in the course Of which the
smaller Of the two waa severely beaten. After
escaping from his assailant, which he succeeded
in doing through, the interference Of some by
there STOOD as If inviting the other to renew the
quarrel. The latter, nothing 10th, ran after
him, and was about to attack him
time drawing . knife. Denny, as be called him,
also produced knife, and dealt him blow
with it, but whether he injured him CT not can
not be definitely stated. He succeeded how
ever, In making nln crop Ills Anue, ana run
away. At this moment Ed. Sheridan, who re-
sides at No. 375 West Taylor street,
rushed up, and, seizing the weapon which
had been thrown away, said to Denny, "H
stabbing is your game you can have Ill you
want Of it.' But, before he could suit the &C.
ton to the word, Denny stabbed him in the
head over the right eye, sending the blade 80
far through the skull that It was impos-
sible for him to draw it out. 6her1-
dan fell senseless, and Denny dis
appeared through the trees, leaving his knife
sticking in his victims forehead. Several per-
aons ran to the wounded young mans assist
ance, and endeavored to draw the weapon out Of
the wound; but they we're unable to accomplish
it, so deep had the blade penetrated the bone.
He was carried to his fathers residence, few
blocks from the park, where he so far recovered
consciousness as to be able to articu1ate
feebly and incoherently. Every effort was
used to induce him to divulge the full name Of
the person who had stabbed him, but he made
no reply, The knife WAS removed with great
difficulty by the surgeons who were called to
attend him. They fear that the blade pene-
trated the brain, and that recovery is impossi-
BILE. Sergeant ODonpell, with his usual
energy, started after Denny and the other ruiz
fan IS soon as he learned the particulars OF the
case, and was still searching for them at an carly
hour this morning, with fair chances Of success.
Sheridan is only 20 years Of age, and bears
very bad reputation in the neighbo1hood where
