Guano.

According to the British Trade Journal and
other English publications, Guano is taking a
new and more respectable origin. A more init
mate examination of it by men of science in
Europe and careful observations on the spot,
threaten to prove. it to be as old az Adam"
and to be as much a natural stratified deposit as
coal or nitrate of soda. This view which threat
ems to Overturn all the received ideas about the
Chincha and other Guano Islands being more the
deposit of the excreta of countless generations of
seabirds and marine manalia is to be put aside,
and Gnano placed within the circle of the pro-
ducts of the mineral kingdom. Whether the
one explanations is better than the other, we do
not at present take on ourselves to decide, but
the latter is certainly a more encouraging one for
spectators and governments depending on their
Guano Islands for pocket money. The Guano on
the Chincha Islands ommand the highest prices,
but then it threatens to give out, and-what
then? why, if 1t is only a geological s~tratifca-
ton like many others, that are useful to man
and the Chinchas give out, we may hope by bor-
ing or other means of exploration to find it on
the mainland In fact so 1t has proved to be in
the case at Meiillones. 1t is there found in strata
with intervening LAYERS of sand and stones. The
latter, however, is only quoted at 81 the ton,
while that from Chincha will bring 9l6 los.
That Guano may be found at the bottom of the
sea in the neighborhood of Guano Islands is
likely enough, but that it was originally formed
there, or that any quantity of it that might ad-
here to the anchors of ships merits still the name
of Guano, is very doubtful. However, the ques-
ton is an interesting one, but needs still further
Investigation.
The following is what the British Trade jour
nal of the 1lth ult. says about it:
The anchors of ships moored IN the vicinity of
the Chincha Islands frequently bring up guano
from the bottom of the ocean, which is rather con-
trary to the doctrine that these marvellous depos-
its are the excreta of birds. The recent researches
of DR.. Habel go far to cOrroborate Professor Ed
wards view that guanO is really a stratifed de-
post. When the portions of guano which are in
soluble in acids are examined, they are found TO
consist entirely of skeletons of diatomace, poly
cystina and sponges. all of which are invariably
Of marine or gin, and sometimes identical with
those still living in the adjacent ocean. These
forms are also found in patches exactly as they oc-
cur in nature. From these and other facts re-
Gently obtained by chemical and microscopical in
vestigation, there appears to be but little doubt
that guano is in accumulation OF the bodies OF
animals and plants which, either by heat, by
chemical action, or both combined, had it's or
ganic matter converted into bitumen, while the
mineral constituents have been preserved In those
beautiful forms which make up the intusorlai
strata in various parts of the world

Insurance Department thus report Of The
Security:
We now come 10 a brilliant. onward, approved embodiment

pany OF New York. A politician would say, the Security is
the peoples choice. II has certainly strong popular endorse
ment. By the AtlsutIc, the Mississippi and the Pacific, the
voice of thousands speak IL fair. The Security attained the
greatest increase of annual business in 1870 over 1869 Of all
the life companies of the United states. When this IS consid-
cred In connection with the past progress Of the Ohce, its
future rank on the life roll is a subject of 10 difficult conjecture.

For some time past there has been en-
gagged at the Varieties Theatre sparkling
little gem with the euphOnious cognOmen of
Sadie Vivian. She has attracted cOnsidera-
BILE attention among the theatrical world for
her impersonations and brilliant representa-
lions in her peculiar line. In divorce"
her charming, piquant style won many
friends and admirers, who will never cease
to cherish and love her.
Her parents, having her welfare at heart,
and wishing to crafty her ambition and as
pirations, have secured the valuable SER
vices OF Mr. William A. Huntley, Of the
Martinetti-Ravel troupe, who, during his
short stay here, has taught her several of
his specialties on the banjo, including the
famous " Chimes" This prodigy has an ex-
quisite voice, and will bring out number
Of Mr.. Huntley's own compositions. She
has progressed so rapidly that she can even
now perform the " Chimes" in such an ex-
cellent manner as TO put blush to the
cheek of few of the old professionals.
Some time in June this little treasure will
take a benefit at the Varieties Theatre, on
which occasion the Shakespeare Club will
perform. There are also number Of vol
unteers who have offered their services, and
there is no doubt but the entertainment will
be one of the most successful ever given in
New Orleans.

Through the giving way Of a certain
piece of machinery attached to the com
bination lock on one of the burglar-proof
safes in the vault of the Louisiana National
Bank Of this city, the officers were suddenly
made aware Of the fact on commencing
business Wednesday morning, that the
massive bolt-wOrk would not yield to their
bidding. After several unsuccessful efforts
to effect an entrance, they finally aban-
doned their attempts and sent for Mr.. A.
j. Cook, the agent in charge of Herring &
Co.'s house here, who, after manipulating
the lock and ascsrtaining the cause of the
difficulty, decided that the door of the safe
would have to be forced open. Procuring
the services of the celebrated mechanic,
Mr.. George Coats, and several of his best
workmen, together with dray load of the
most effective "engines of destruction" in
Guiding crowbars, ratehets, iackscrews,
drills, ETC., Mr.. Cook commenced opera
tons as soon as possible, as the bank de-
sired to obtain immediate possession of GER
tain papers and valuables which were in
the safe. After eighteen hours hard work,
with no "let up for eating or sleeping, the
monster finally loOsed its stubborn grip and
yielded up its treasures. A cursory glance
at the broken machinery brought into
requisition by Mr.. Coats would be quite
sufficient to convince any person that
''going through" one of Herring's burglar
proof safes, even with the most approved
appliances, and no fear of detection Ia
disadvantage which burglars have to labor
under), is no small task.
Herring & Co., the manufacturers Of the
above mentioned safe, have ali the latest
improvements and styles Of fire and bur-
glar-proof work on hand, and Mr.. Cook,
the whole-souled and genial agent,will take
great pleasure in giving bankers and others
the fullest information in this line. No
banker should order work until he exam
ines that put up by this house, as they can
furnish improvements which can not be had
elsewhere.

First Gun for GreeIey.

The citizens Of the Third District, lire
spective Of past political differences who
indorse the nominees and platform of the
Cincinnati convention, organized Greeley
district campaign club last night at the hall
on Spain street. between Rampant and st.
Claude. A temporary organization was
effected by the selection of Judge Sloanalzer
Republican, as chairman, and Harmon 2.
Mcdowell (Democratl as secretary. A
committee on permanent organization and
constitution was appointed, on motion Of
w G. Kinsella, to report a frame OF laws
for the government of the club at the next
meeting.
Coroner jackson offered, the following
resolution, which was adopted unanim-
ously;
ResolUed That in the judgment of this
club the original signers of the Cincinnati
call should take measures to select a prOvi-
sional central committee, so that State
convention should be called for the nomina-
ton of an electoral ticket and State officers,
and adopt the necessary measures for the
ensuing campaign III the State.
The president of the meeting stated that
this movement was not and could not be a
Republican party within a Republican
party, but to be success, must embrace
all classes, regardless of past politics, to
irdorse the action of the Cincinnati con-
vention, and as they desired the triumphant
election of Horace Greeley to the next
Presidency, as he represented all classes of
our people," who, in this emergency,
deemed this movement necessary for the
good of the land.
The meeting adjourned to meet at the
same place next Tuesday evening, at half
past seven o'clock, so that permanent or
ganization can be effected, and cordial
invitation is extended to all the supporters
of Greeley and Brown.
The meeting was large and enthusiastic,
and may be considered as the first gun of
the Presidential campaign.

The First Ward Unanimous for Greeley
and Brown.


The First Ward Unanimous Tor Sreeiey
and Brown
About the Hveliest set of Republicans in
the CITY are located in the first ward, and
last wednesday evening they turned out
e,, p,asse. filling their new wigwam so there
was scarcely standing room. Nine. Massena,
editor of the Magnolia, honored the club
with her presence, and was the recipient of
a vote of thanks for the donation of num-
Der of copies of her excellent journal to the
members of the club. Thomas Isabelle.
Esq, president of the mother club, having
just returned from the Cincinnati conven-
ton, was loudly called for and delivered an
eloquent address. Mr.. Isabelle said that
the Cincinnati convention was sponta-
neOus movement of the masses, who are de-
termined to oppose Capitalization and re-
store the national government to its Repub
ican purity. The enthusiasm and unani :
nifty of the delegates from all sections of
the country augured well for the success of
this glorious movement. The nominees of
that convention are not Republicans of yes
terdaY, but men under whose teaching the
party has grown to power and greatness
men whose supporters are not obtained by
drums and horns, and who are not necessi-
tated to use Calling guns or packed con-
ventions in order to crush their political OPP
ponents.
The day is approaching when the free
men of this country will, by their action at
the ballot-b0x, show that the eternal prin-
ciples of truth and justice are yet superior
to the interests of party, and above the
reach of bribery and intimidation. The re-
suit of the struggle just inaugurated will
prove that the pen is mightier than the
sword; and with the editors and statesmen,
Greeley and Brown, at the head OF our gov
eminent, the dangerous abuse of power by
our soldier President will be checked and
the military made subordinate to the civil
power. Under the able and patriotic lead
ership of WarmOth and Pinchbaek, the
State of Louisiana would be a unit for
Greeley and Brown, the Customhouse to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
Mr.. Isabelle's speech was loudly applaud
ed. and at its conclusion three cheers were
given for Greeley and Brown, and three
more for Warmoth and Pinchback.
Captain w B. Barrett being called on,
next addressed the meeting. He said ''he
was one who had the honor Of holding
commission from the lamented Lincoln, and
of participating in the struggle that resulted
in the emancipation of his race. They were
now power in the land; power that
would be felt and respected if colored men
did not allow themselves to be divided by
selfish and designing politicians" The
speaker then reviewed the course of Gov
ernor Warmoth, ably defending his admin
istration, and exposed the Vaccinations of
the corrupt Customhouse clique, who
showed themselves willing tools of the
Democratic party. But with WarmOth and
Pinchback at the head of our State ticket,
all their designs would be frustrated.
At the close of Captain Barrett s speech,
vote Of thanks was rendered him by the
rnnntinn

Benefit of Kittredge.

This evening, Mr.. j. Kittredge, the popular
treasurer of the Academy, will take benefit,
and the numerous admirers of this gentle
man will show their appreciation Of him by
giving him a rousing testimonial for his
faithful services and gentlemanly conduct
and politeness to the patrons of this favorite
theatre.
The programme offered this evening will
be one of the most novel and amusing that
has been presented for long time, and
there is no doubt but that the house will be
crowded with the elite of the city.
The entertainment will commence with
a musical duologue, in which Mr.. Collins
and Miss Boniface will sing a number Of
their speciaIties, to be followed by an ex-
quisite ballet, with Mile. Marie Bonfanti
and Signor Tito Cellini in the leading roles,
Mile Young, Miss LeClair and the entire
ballet troupe. Mr.. Collins will sing "The
Death of Stonewan Jackson y the whole
performance to conclude with Byron's do
nestle drama ''Dearer than Life" By the
| announcement it will be seen that one of
the best bills of the season is offered, and
we are confident that the house viii be full
