ST. Vincent de Paul School.

The annual exhibition and distribution of
prizes of this unrivaled educational instr
tuition. took place last evening in tine school
building on Greatmen, near Piety street.
The attendance was quite large, the parents
and friends Of the little pupils turning out
in strong numbers. His honor Mayor Wilt
was there, watching with eager eyes his
little daughter Sidonie.
The programme of exercises selected for
the exhibition was varied and attractive.
Little Miss Olivia Andrews delivered the
sautatory, 70 which succeeded dialogues,
songs and recitarions by other pupils. When
Miss Sidon;e Witt spoke her piece, the an
plause was long and loud. In naive and
graceful name, the little girl delivered
her lines and told the story of devotion to
honor and duty. The evenings entertain
ment was brought TO close by the bestow
ing Of two wreaths Of honor upon Miss
Olivia Andrews and Miss Lille Murray.
These two little girls were crowned with
the floral tributes while the whole school
sang the plee song "a Rosy Crown"
ST. Vincent de Paul School now mum bers
l30 pupils. Four Sisters of the Holy Cross
have charge OF the education of these little
girls. They have perform ed their work
well, both teachers and pupils. Last eve
mugs exhibition displayed cause for both
to rejoice.
Connected with the academy, and subject
to the same discipline and rules, is the boys
school. This also numbers about $50
scholars. Secular teachers have charge Of
the school, and the children in attendance
are decorous and we'll advan ced in studies.
On the first of August The exhibition and
commencement exercises Of the boys de-
partment will be held.
1t may safely be predicted that this
branch Of the schopl VII make as fine
display as the girls department last evening
set forth

Mexican Items.

We copy the following interesting para.
graph from late number Of the Itco Re
pu6.ics:
We publish a portion Of the communica-
ton Of Mr.. Aspiroz, Mexican consul at San
Francisco. which we have taken from the
Dtario Official Of this capital, referring TO
the Crade at that port ii the months
Of February and March of 1873 and
1874. 1t shows the variety and character,
in part, produced and exported by the
Mexicans as well as that OF iore1gn prod
ucIs which they import and consume. The
products Of Mexico, are alike, on the Gulf
coast and Pacific slope; and, to a greater
extent, are imported and consumed on the
Gull side, articles named in the list referred
to. the New Orleans merchants can by
these lists form some idea of the character
OF the Mexican trade, which they have the
opportunity of enjoying.
The people of Mexico corresponding with
New Orleans, Mobile and Southwestern
States, via Havana and thence direct 10 the
sf, renentioned points, are suffering under
the most oppressive postal burdens, on ac-
count OF the enormous postal tax imposed
in IRe Havana postotice. Persons writing
to Now Orleans, by the French and English
packets, where their letters have to be de-
hvered and remailed at the Havana post
office, are the victims of this system, being
compelled to conduct their correspondence
by the long voyage to New York, and
thence By rail back to New Orleans, three
days making voyage of fifteen days.
when they ought to go IN SIX at the farthest.
The whole Southwest is thus imposed upon
By the present mail arrangements between
the two countries.
This evil will, however. be remedied when
the steamers commence running direct
from Vera Cruz to New Orleans.
From letter from the Messrs. Alexan-
dcrs, dated New York, June 6, We make
the following extract:
'Of course you know of our new arrange
ment with the Mexican government, which
is to run, next fall, our present Vera Cruz
steamers at the additional ports of Tuxpan,
Tampico and New Orleans, and from the
latter port back again to them, returning
to New York. Which arrangement, we
think, will be very great benefit to all the
gulf ports, as it will give a communication
with both New Orleans and New York"

Burning Of q Mail Car.

The Norfolk papers Of Friday give addi-
tional particulars of the burning of mail
car on Thursday on the Atlantic, Miseis-
sippi and Ohio railroad, east OF Petersburg,
a brief telegraphic report of which was pub.
lished. The Landmarks says:
The train left Petersburg at sos P. NJ.
and when about eight miles below the city
the mail agents, TWO cOlored men, named
e. l.. Jones and J. N. Jennings, were ap-
prised Of the terrible fact that their car was
on fire by the falling in Of portion Of the
roof. One of them sprang to the bell cord
to sound the alarm, but found it had been
burned oil. At this discovery the full truth
OF their appalling situation barst upon
them. They We're confined IN small room,
with no means of egress except through
the doors cut in the side, and this means
rendered unavailable from the tact that
neither platform Ior railing led to other
portions ct the car. while the train was
rushing along at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, and with no means to sound an alarm.
10 remain IN the car was to be burned up,
and to leap from the train was almost GER
tain death.
The heat at last became insupportab!e;
their hands and faces were scorched. So
seizing the only remaining alternative they
leaped from the train. Upon reaching
" 0NOAAy stdtlOA LILO OlbSsuer was Ol6cOV-
cred. A search was made for the agents,
who, not being found, the remains Of the
car were detached and the train run back
over the route until it reached the place
where they jumped Oft. Both were found
alive but seriously injured. Jones' left arm
is broken above the wrist and he is badly
bruised. Jennings right shoulder was dis
located, besides receiving numerous bruises
on different parts of the body. They were

tomhouse and DR.. Ward summoned, who
rendered the necessary surgical and medi-
cal aid. The burned Car was next to the
engine and was divided into two compart-
ments, the forward one being the express
room, in which the fire originated.
1t is supposed that the ire was caused by
sparks FROM the engine. The mails. all Of
which were destroyed, embraced the follow
ing: All of the mails from north Of tie Po-
tomac via Richmond; all Southern mails
from the following States: North Alabama,
North Georgia, Louisiana. Mississippi and
Texas, including mails for Norfolk, Old
Point, and stations on the Petersburg road.
Among them were ten registered letters
addressed to parties in this city. The ex-
press room was empty, as the baggage mas.
ter now has charge of these packages, aid
they were in his car.
The Virginian says:
Captain Hill, conductor on the train. on
discovering the fire, took immediate steps
TO prevent it from spreading. He detached
the burning car at once, and with the assist
ance of the passengers and hands quenched
the fire, not, however, before the entire
contents of the car. as before stated, were
consumed. The fire is shrouded in mys-
terry, and the rumors are many. We have
no doubt the matter will be thoroughly in
vestigated.

Jen Ttompson AT Home,

The Great Republic arrived last evening,
and brought back to New Orleans the in.
defatigable General N. JEFF Thompson, who
went to Washington to urge the passage of
the levee bill. JEFF didn't have much TO
say about the Fort St. Philip canal, as be s
more interested in protecting agriculture
by guarding the levees up the river than
promoting commerce at it's mouth. When
he got to Washington he was evidently,
from his story, in his element, for he was
seized On ny all sorts Of people, and being
chuck full of talk, gave them all they
wanted.
From Wssh;r g-on be went to Harper's
Ferry, to meet aged acquaintances Of forty
years standing. There be overcame tie
distractions Of the prohibitory law, by the
production Of Hawking Best" which he
accidentally had with him. Then he cap
tured the mayor, and got decree directed
to one grocery to relax in his favor while he
held the town in custody.
At Chicago, with the aid of a carriage and
map, he claims to have seen more IN day
than half the Oldest residents could tell Of
il onth.
On his way South be struck St. joe on
the fourth Of July. The advent Of an ante
beliu1n mayor IN that city, with loQuacious
powers unequaled from where the tail of
.he American eagle shields the gentle moose
from the. driving snow to the green waters
OF the g1lf in which he dips his bill in
search of the tender pompano, was an event.
The opportunity was too tempting to be re-
sisted. 1t was It solved that good, old
fashioned Indepen ieDce Day should be cele
brsted in the good old way, ami that JEFF
should crate the oratiOn. And it was so.
The eagle bird spread his wings again,
and everybody was happy.
Coming down the river General Thomp-
son got the best consecutive view Of the
levees he has ever had, for the boat only
travelled BY day in consequence Of the
state Of the water. He will remain in the
city only short time, and Immediately re-
turn TO active duty.
