PROPOSED New LINE OF ATLANTIC
STEAMERs.-A new company has been pro-
motod at New York, with a capital of elev-
en- millions OF dollars, to build six steamers
on a large scale, to run between New York
and Liverpool. The new line is to be call
ed the Randall Steamer Company. The
tonnage OF each ship will be 5000 tons.
andeach will be 525 feet long, sc feet beam,
and drawing IA feet of water. They will
accommodate 700 frst-cIass and 1000 Sec
ond-cIass passengers. The guaranteed
speed is to be twenty miles an hour. so
that, If the project succeeds, the run across
the Atlantic will be accomplished in a
much shorter time than at present the
Cunard average time being, we think, about
50 days across.
MIR. MILDREN, of Hayle, Cornwall, has
introduced an article that is likely to BE
greatly in demand, he terms it "Disinfect-

powerful dlslntectant, and acts instantane-
ously IN preventing the spread of fever,
smallpox, cholera, scarlatina, and all intec-
ti0us diseases besides this, it will be found
cIeanly and economical, being useful alike

Wouldn't support the Government.

In the days when military command
ers thought that they could insure the
loyalty of the South by requiring every
couple about to marry to take the oath
of allegiance, as if marriage itself were
not sufficient of union feeling, Eliza, a
lady's maid, in Amelia County, Va,
came to her old master one day, soon
after Lees surrender, with You see,

chievously, :. but you know what the

like white folks, you'll have to take

astounded girl, "'deed III do no sech

the old way or the new, we can not say.

Another Claimant for the French
Throne.

There is still another pretender tc
that French throne which no wise man
would accept, even if it were offered to
him by the nation unanimously. Carl
Gustave Ludwig, journeyman tailor, OF
Stuttgart, says that he is the legitimate
son of the Duke Of Reichstadt and I" a
Hungarian Countess to whom the
Duke was privately married. There is
said to be living witness OF these nup-
tials, in the person of Hungarian off,
Ger. There is story that Prince Met
ternich apprenticed this imperial child
to a tailor in Stuttgart He has been
before a court at Ischl, charged with
writing his princely rank in his pass
port, and claiming the name of Prince
Joseph Eugene Napoleon Bonaparte,
for which he was expelled from the
country. Long ago there was some
story of a private marriage Of the
young Napoleon, but though this may
account for the claim this young tailor
sets up, it is far from establishing it.
His likeness to the Bonaparte family is
said TO be striking, and in this he has
the advantage of Napoleon III, who
looks more like Dutchman than an
Italian or Greek.

Terrible AfIray-One Man Killed and
Two Severely Wounded.

From the Memphis Glenn J Avalanche, Dec. IL
From J. E. Raymond, who arrived
from below by the steamer Phil Allin
yesterday, we learn Of a terrible affray
that occurred last week at Stewards
Landing, near the foot of Walnut Bend,
sixty miles below this city. A trading
boat belonging to n. S. Cummings, who
is well and favorably known below
here, was lying at Stewards Landing,
and visited by three negro men near
dark, on Monday evening, the 4th inst.
The negroes pretended TO want a gallon
of whiskey, and said q comrade would
soon be along with q jug. Lounging
about until some time after dark, they
went inside the storeroom, found Mr.
Raymond sitting down before the coun-
tea, reached over and shot him with a
pistol, the ball entering between the ear
and eye, and dropping out Of hi.
mouth. The two others then COM
menced firing on Mr.. Cummings, and
another person named Dedrick, who
was near They shot Cummings twice,
the balls passing through both should
ers. from the effects Of which he died
on Friday last. Mr. Raymond, al
though badly hurt, and nearly uncon-
scious, ran for gun, and fight at
close quarters ensued, which filed the
boat with smoke and darkness. Ded-
rick, by striking one of the negroes
while in the act Of firing, caused the
numbering thief to shoot himself in the
hand. The attacking fends soon fed,
finding they were likely to get the
worst of the fight, the result Of which
was the killing OF Cummings, the
wounding of Mr.. Raymond, and also
one of the attacking darkies. Since the
trouble one of the miscreants has been
arrested, and the others are likely to be
taken, as they are known to be still
prowling in the vicinity.
Mr.. Cummings had collected some
$l,700 in money while lying at DR.. Pc
ter's landing few days before, and it
is supposed that the negroes, getting
wind of this, formed plan to murder
the boats occupants, and possess them
selves of the money. Mr.. Raymond is
recovering rapidly from the effects of
his wounds.

Valuable Invention.

When the last German Arctic Expe-
dition started for the North Pole, it car
ried a newly invented stove, by Prof.
Meidinger, which has proved an inval-
liable invention. 1t is Of iron, having a
double wall, with space about two
inches wide between the outer and inner
walls, to which the air has free access
above and below. The cold air being
always at the bottom, and the warm as
cending, it follows that all the air in
the room is being constantly forced
through the space between the outer
and inner covering Of the stove, or
what is the same, is being constantly
heated. The coal is put in at.the top,
and fills the whole inside of the stove,
which is about six feet high, more or
less. 1t is then lighted at the top and
kept burning by tie draught created by
valves inserted both into the side walls
and at the bottom of the stove. The
valves opened, the greater the heat, so
that the temperature can be easily regu-
lated. The expense is third less than
that of an ordinary German stove, and
the new invention, in an elegant shape,
is rapidly finding its way into dwelling

Enthusiastic Converts.

Rather a cold religious ceremoney
was performed at Haverhill, Mass, last
Sunday Several persons desired to
join the colored Baptist Church they
could not be admitted except by i'm
mersion; the Merrimac River was frozen
over and SO hole was cut into which
the neophytes were plunged. We sup
pose that submission to this unseasona-
BILE bath was considered to be in the
nature of penance; and to persons of
African descent it must have been
rather a trial of faith. Unless all these
cases were extremely pressing, would it
not have been better to wait until
warmer weather? 1t is, of course, a
duty to go to church: but would il be 3
duty to go to church if the building
were unwarmed and the thermometer
indicating zero? Must a convert run

that he would like to know what she
thought about his getting married.

THE COURTS.

William Golding, an alien, has entered
suit in the United States Circuit Court
against the city, claiming $25, 600 damages,
arising from breach of contract. Golding
agreed to furnish the iron bridges in the
recent improvement of st. Charles avenue,
for which he was to receive three and three
eighth cents a pound. But the city only
paid for the iron from Felicity road to Tole-
dano street, instead of abiding by the con-
tract and LAYING down the bridges from
Tivoli circle to TOledano street, whereby
the petitioner lost in patterns and in profits,
which would have accrued, the sum claimed.
The new trial in the suit Of Latham
against Hickey was refused.
A late feature in the Fourth District
Court consists of the entering of suits by
the heirs of John Slidell against the several
parties who bought the properties confis-
Gated by process of law. The suits number
fifteen, and are against as many parties
purchasing.
In the Eighth District Court an appeal
has been taken in the case of McCieliand
against the Sugar Shed Company, decided
in favor of the defendant.
