A SAD CASE OF DRowNING.-At half
past eight o'clock last evening some per-
sons on the Canal street ferry wharf in
Algiers noticed a man walking down the
wharf in the wrong place, and before they
could warn him he walked into the river
and was drowned. They found his hat, in
which were some papers that indicate the
unfortunate man was Franklin Larkin, a
boiler maker, whose shops are at Nos. q
and ~ Julia street. This accident would
not have occurred had the ferry company
the. generosity to keep proper lights at
night.

COMPLIMENT TO CAPTAIN FORVIER, SEx1sI
PRECISCT.-The life OF Metropolitan 70
lice captain is not one of the easiest or
pleasantest in the world, but 1t occasion
ally happens that gem Is sanawiche1 III
between the miseries of bis duties. Last
evening Captain Fortier, who Eis command
of the sixth precinct, was requested to CAL
at Colonel Fairfax's office, on Josephine,
near Magazine street, as a number OF clt'-
zens desired to see him few minutes.
These gentlemen. all of whom are ardent
admirers of the gallant captain. whether
as a citizen or an officer, had silently coIR'
bined together and arranged to procure,
one of the finest possible poiIce badges, OF
chased gold, to present to hiiG, SIMPLY 70
express, in part, their appreciation or MIN.
When all was prepared the handsome
captain was called in, but OF course he knew
nothing of what was to come. lie looked
somewhat surprised, being UNABLE to com,
prehend why all eyes were on HIM ana
every body glad to shake his band. Ihls
little confusion over, Colonel J.s'. Fairfax
only lust then returned from the green pas
lures of Kentucky, saluted the captain tor
mally, making one of his neatest speeches.,
and presenting the badge. The recipient
responded as well as his surprise would
permit, expressing his gratitude in round,
full terms. This ceremony performed,
there appeared something with ice IN II.
and there were sounds as if a second fourth
of July had come. The party was purely
private one. and the gentlemen who pro-
cured the badge did so with no other ue-
sign than TO promote friendship-and they
succeeded.

A CHRISTIAN DoNATIoN.-An Episcopal
congregation in Biloxi began to build a
church, and when only half through the
funds gave ont, and work was necessarily
suspended. Our kind-hearted citizen, Mr.
Charles 7. Howard, who has beautiful
summer residence in Biloxi, one day noticed
the condieion of things, and carelessly asked
one of the members how much money was
required TO complete the edifice. He was
informed, and on the instant rendered the
required sum, greatly to the snrprise and
qualification Of an anxious congregation,
who Will ever hold Mr.. Towards memory
dear. The deed shines brighter because it
was unexpected and unsolicited, especially
as he had previously given $500.

UNCOMMON COOP SPoRT.-Captain Peter
Joseph and one OF his friends visited Proc
torville recently to enjoy days shooting
When he returned he did not wait TO be
asked what luck he had had. but in short.
hand style of speech said he killed l22 dozen
small birds, ten poule d'eau, ten hawks and
one summer duck. When the duck fell the
head was found to have been SHOT of and
the bird in two distinct parts, SO tat that
oil literally dripped over the ground, caus
ing the hunters to slip and fall. This wac
only half what might have been done by
active or ambitious sportsmen, and it was
not real good day for hunting. The cap
tain also reports that at one time birdf
were so abundant that he could not posi-
bly, see the sky. Jinkers suggests that 1he
CAPTAIN may have had a small squirt in bis
ewes, and mistook mosquitoes for birds
This is in part confirmed by the fact that
very small shot were used.

PoI,,lcaI Notes.

The Camden Press, remarking the fact that
the Republican press of New Jersey stood up
bravely to the ticket, adds The late canvass
was not 80 far as the Republican papers were
concerned, Campaign of scandal, but it was
conducted on higher grounds arguments were
thought preferable to personal attacks, and the
record of the candidates of greater moment
than their individual merits or dement's. We
trust it may always be 50, and that in all future
campaigns the issues involved and not the per-
sonalty OF those who ask for the peoples suf-
frages, may form the chief topics for editorial
pens and orators tongues.
The Maryland Democrats think they have done
big thing, and are disposed to claim for Mary
land high honors in the future successes OF the
party they anticipate They congratulate them
selves in having in the next Congress three such
strong men as Ex-Gov Thomas. Ex-Gov. Swami
and Mr.. Walsh, whom they expect to take rank
as leaders in the House. Tom. Swami is begin
ming to figure as aspirant for the Vice Presi-
| dency.
| In Massachusetts, says dispatch from Bos-
/ ton to the New York Times, the result of the
| election is not accepted by the leaders as an in
dication of renewed Democratic strength in the
| State, but of dissatisfaction and disgust of the
| Republican masses with the outrageous forcing
of candidates upon them. The men who made
Gaston's election possible, and who helped
| Thompson, Tarbox, Chaplin, Banks, and Seely'
| to their seats in Congress, are Republican
| stanch and true.
There is already lively prospect of a squad
BILE among the Democrats for the Speakership o
the House-which will not meet, mind, until DE
cember, 1875. Sunset Cox expects it, of course
Sam Randall is sure Of it; and General Bank
will go to Washington with strong following.
Wisconsin does best of all the Western States
Heavy Republican gains over last year are rt

Child Life i'm Shakerdom.

Children that are placed with the Shakers at
Lebanon are indentured to Benjamin Gates, or
some authority, until they "become of age" he
agreeing in tue papers to provide them food,
clothing, &c. They are then placed in the
''children's order," under the charge of sisters
designated TO care for them, who commence at
once TO instil in their minds the glories of the
creed. In their management never a blow is
struck. Refractory ones are punished by being
laid upon the floor, face down. When they have
been kept thus PROSTATE for length of time,
they are taken up and talked to-" the enormity
of their offences pointed out, and are exhorted
to behave better in the future. Those from
eight to a dozen years of age 'go to confession
every Saturday and town up" (or are sup
posed to) to the sins of the week that
have escaped the notice of their guardians.
And as they receive special approval
after an apparently very full confession, they
early learn to conjure up quite enormous stories,
knowing that they "gull' their confessors into a
deeper belief in their penitence. snow don't
You feel better after confessing all that ?" asks
the ancient virgin who has heard the story.
''Yea, yea" says the little miss, and tipping a
wink to her companions she walks out as sedately
as spnster of seventy. Another method.of pun
ishment is to put tile youngster into large sack,
tying it lighty round the neck. Should the child
refuse to get into the bag it is drawn over the
refractory one, and then, head, feet and all
enveloped he or she is left to repent of the
offensive disobedieuce. The children are sent
to school four months each year---the boys in
the winter and the girls in the summer Coed
ucation hasn't the slightest support here. The
| girls and boys must not converse together Il
| they happen to meet, Il roguish youngster IL
bold enough TO break the silence with some pret
| ty maiden, the maiden must be deaf and duml
to him. 'Isnt there some boy here that you ar'
just little fonder of than the others p il q

ply always is may" and the blind old goodie
| believe it .-P,ustipld Edqle.

The following recipe If from the editor of the
Gamanio'on Teegdph, who recommends it af-
ter many years trial. 1t will be useful to oui
readers, at this season of the year
To one gallon of water, take IA lbs of salt,
1slb. sugar, y4oz. saltpeter, 5oz. potash. In
this rate the pickle can he Increased to any
quantity desired. Let these be boiled to-
gether until the dirt from the sugar rises &c

to tub to cool, and when cold, pour it ovel
your beef or pork, to remain the usual time say
four or five weeks. The meat must be wei
covered with pickle, and should not be put dowr
for at least two days after killing, during whicl
time it should be slightly sprinlled with pow
dered saltpetre, which removes all the surface

ax.enpahened Farewell.

We are not behind the rest of people in ac-
knowledging the genius Of Miss Charlotte Cush-
man. and the listre she has shed upon the
American stage, yet we cannot but think there is
good deal of humbug in the "Farewell" BUSH
ness Of which the New York and Philadelphia
papers are 80 full at present 1t rather lowers
than eleyates the dignity of the actress. Favorite
players have not infrequently taken formal fare
well of the public, the last appearances of Gar
rick and Macready having been especially inn
pressive, but it is something new to have a
heightened series Of farewells taken in all the
leading theatrical centres. One such thing is
we'll enough, but more sayoreth of vanity. We
are much mistaken il the present enterprise is
not shrewd managerial stroke on the part of
Messrs. Jarrett and Palmer. Miss Cushman, in
fact, retired from the stage some years ago, and
went to reside in Rome. 1t was given out in an
official manner at that time that she would ACT
no more. Again, there is no doubt but
that after these extended farewelli
she will continue to give her Readings, as here
tofore. We admit the present occasions are onl.
advertised as her final theatrical appearances
but the difference is more imaginary than real
and the impression is sought to be conveyed tina
Miss Cushman is now bidding a last adieu to tn
public, when she is doing no such thing Blu
even if the Readings did not enter into the cas-
at all, the taste of these reiterated farewell
would be very questionable. After gcin
through an elaborate ceremonial in New Yorl
tomorrow night, she departs for Philt
delphia, to be wept over in the sam
fashion thence to San Francisco, ditto; and pot
sibly elsewhere as long as it will pay. Let I'll
charitableness be far from us in speaking of a
artist whom all men respect as well as admire
but there really is too much of the "Crummles
flavor about this business for plain people. W
would have Miss Cushmans farewell postpone
to the last possible period, but when that tim
arrives we would have her say good bye once fC
all and have done with it,
