Our Trade with Brazil.

We have been favored with call from
Captain Y. K. Pomeroy, who has been en-
gagged in navigating the Amazon from Para
to the mouth of the Madura. distance of
1900 miles. The river furnishes depth of
eight feet to this point. where it is inter
rupted by falls which renders necessary a
railroad to connect with very extensive
system of river navigation. extending al
most across the continent to Ecuador and
Peru. The railroad around the falls of the
Amazon will be l53 miles in length. It is
to be constructed with English capital un-
der concession to Colonel George E..
Church, an American. and is progressing
under encouraging auspices.
Captain Pomeroy gives an attractive de.
scription Of the commerce which the noble
Amazon offers to New Orleans. It consists
chiefly Of the dry hide and wool of Bolivia,
with the furniture and medical woods,
nuts and other fruits of Brazil. In response
to questions about imports from the United
States Captain Pomeroy informs US that,
owing to tho rapidiby Of steam transit,
Western -four lie carried in good order into
the interior of Brazil, and sells at slight
reduction alongside OF the Gallegc and
other Eastern brands. As Captain Pomeroy
is understood to visit New Orleans with
the purpose of inducing commercial inter-
course with the great region so well known
to him. we hope our -four and hide uer-
chants will interview him carefully.

Louisiana Leather.

Mr. Jacob Miller, the well known shoe.
maker, of No. ll5 BaYonne street, exhibits
some fine samples Of leather which were
prepared by Mr.. E. c. Greenwood at his
tannepy near the Barracks The leather is
Of 3 tine quality, and is pronounced by
shoemskers fully equal to French leather,
ye: it is furnished by the tanner at less
than half the price of the French article.
We learn that meeting Of shoemakers is
to be called shortly, when samples of this
leather will be submitted and be subjected
to the various trials shoemakers know of
to test its quality and durability. Mr.. Mil
Ter has several samples in his shop which
he takes pleasure in submitting for inspec-
ton.
There is no good reason why New Or
leans shoald not furnish as good leather as
there is in the world. The raw material is
easily and cheaply obtained, and all the
appliances of tanning are cheap and con-
venient. Instead of importing thousands
Of dollars worth Of leather every year from
Europe and the North, New Orleans ought,
with Texas, Arkansas and Florida at her
back, to supply the world with leather. Per-
haps Mr.. Greenwood has seen the oppOr-
tunity and grasped it. We hope he hae,
and that he will receive the encouragement
bis enterprise merits.

LsuisyiiIe Industrial Exposition.

The second National Industrial Expos
ition at Louisville opens on the second Of
September next In an invitation extended
to the editor of this paper We learn that the
directors Of the Exposition have perfected
every arrangement necessary to make the
display the g,andest and most varied ever
seen in this country. Those who attended
tho Louisville Exposition last year can re-
call the pleasure and surprise which they
felt on entering the vast building, filed
with its treasures of art. industry, mechan-
ism. handiwork and scientific collections.
We are promised this year even greater
and more attractive display. Anticipating
this, no ono can afford to forego the enjoy.
ment Of spending day or moro in the
Louisville Exposition. Reduced rates by
railroad and river have been secured, which
will enable partieE to visit the Exposition
at comparatively small expense. Tho in
creased hotel accommodations and travel
ing facilities in Louisville, together with the
natural attractions Of the city will make q
visit to that place in September or October
both pleasant and profitable.

General WiEfaIl.

This gentleman seems to have captured a
chance, like others Of his fellow irreconcla-
bles, to expose himself, and played his little
part to his own satisfaction, even though
they got tired before he did-if tho follow
ing report Of the Baltimore Gazette is to be
relied on. It is from an account of the
floral decoration OF Confederate graves
July II in that city:
General Wigfall, being called for, ap-
peared and said his heart was almost too
full to speak. 1t was gratifying to him to
know that if the cause is lost, the spirit
which maintained it still lives. [Applause. ]
There is something more in this world than
mere material prosperity. In our hearts
there is feeling of wounded honor. and
truth, though crushed to earth. will rise
again." He did not cry, peace, peace,
when there was no peace" He accepted
the situation, but even if the manacles that
fettered him were gilded, they would gall.
He was opposed TO all sentimentality con-
siderine this subject. General Wigfali here
entered upon an argument TO prove that
the Southern States had right to secede,
but was interrupted by announcement that
the subscription committee was ready to
report the result of their labors. He closed
by remarking that. as he had been inter-
rupted, he presumed that his sentiments
were not cOncurred in by all of those
present, and retired amid laughter and
annlauso

Health.

An investigation which has been had by
the Board of Health demonstrates the fact
that the city is entirely free from yellow
fever, except along the city front in the
Fourth District, between Josephine and
Ninth streets. Deaths have occurred
elsewhere, but in each case 10 was clearly
traceable to the above named locality. It
will be remembered that it was about this
point where the bark Valparaiso lay, on
which the first case occurred. The Board
of Health caused the streets in that locality
to be thoroughly disinfected last evening,
ten barrels of carbolic scid being used for
that purpose.
Intermittent tevers, and what 10 COM
monty known as the "break- bone" fever,
are somewhat prevalent, but OF a very mild
type, and have no connection whatever with
the yellow fever, with which The unduly
timid and excitable may sometimes con-

THE Hunchbsck" il . play Of the old
school, and with which our theatre goers
are perfectly familiar. The representation
last night was remarkably well done for
amateurs, as regards the male characters.
All were we'll acted, and nothing occurred
to mar the beauty of the play. Mr.. O'Neill
gave an intelligent rendition Of Master Wal
ter, and Mr.. Braughn was up to his usual
standard of excellence a. Clifford. Frank
Wilson appeared to better advantage as the
tho studious and timid MOduS than in any
part he has assumed this season. His make
up and acting, especially in the scenes with
Helen, was excellent.
Mr.. stumpf made faHtosn something 60
laugh At, with the repeated expression of
- ty," and the traditional snail-like move
ments. Miss Mcclellan found . light
comedy part worthy Of her best efforts in
Helen, and played the part better than il is
usually represented. OF Miss Hawthorne,
as Julia, much had been expected, and
much can be said in her praise. With snany
star actresses this has always been favor
ite character. Compared with some of
them, Miss Hawthorne showed herself .
superior artist. She is an actress Of high
order, and one New Orleans can ill afford to
lose. Her acting last night was admirable.
The Shakespeare Club, for seven seasons
and during dearth Of other amusements,
has given us at intervals generous and ele-
giant entertainments, and for it we have the
anticipate much pleasure ct the closing
performance. when > charming Robertson
comedy will be put upon the bills.

This was endurable while the work was 60

Ames received the nomination for Gov
