Hugh Cook killed VIM. Benner yester-
day evening about dark, on the public
square, east of the count house. The
testimony OF the witnesses before the
jury of inquest was conflicting, some
stating that Benner fired first and others
that Cook fred first. Benner fired but
one shot, his pistol being a derringer.
Cook is said to have fired FIVE shots,
two of which took effect, one near the
&c utre of Benner's breast, and the other
in the abdomen. Benner died in fifteen
or Wenty minutes. The shooting took
place in the midst of a large crowd, and
il is marvellous that some of the crowd
were not shot. Such a stampede you

There is one thing our steamboatmen
should bear in mind; that is, those who pro-
pose making pleasure excursions, either up
or down the river, during the present sea-
son, which is, to read carefully section As of
an act of Congress passed and approved
February %, 1871, relating to the number of
people allowed to be carried on passenger
steamers. A correspondent, and one who is
supposed to know +" how it is himself, sends
us the following:
"When in the course of human events it
becomes necessary for captain of a steamer
to charter his vessel for an excursion trip,
and the party" is of a greater number
than his boat is allowed by her certificate te
carry, it would be wise on the part of such
"capting' to seek that permit "for such
case made and provided" otherwise he may
cause himself unnecessary trouble Section
AZ of the ''Act Of Congress relating to Steam
Vessels" approved February %, 1871, tells
all abont it. Look to your purse strings,
you daring navigators of the Big Muddy"
and it's dependencies. Port your helms, or
you may strike something.

RIP VAN WINKLE ENTERPRISE.

The announcement by the Pic. that II
will, on Sunday next, publish an accurate
and deliberately prepared map of the flooded
districts of Louisiana and Mississippi" is an
evidence of life and enterprise that is at
once remarkable and amusing. 1t is re-
markable because it is so unlike the 'old
lady," whose rule for many years has been
to get all she could and spend nothing for
news or information of any kind. 1t is
amusing, because it is so peculiarly picayun-
ish and Rip Van Winkleish for paper,
weeks and weeks after the waters have
burst from their usual channels, and cover
ed the lOwlands of Louisiana and Mlssls-
sippi, and ever SO long after maps of the
overflowed districts have been sent broad
cast over the country, to suddenly rub its
sleepy eyes and attempt to palm off the
same old map with few additions and
as splendid exhibition o.
journalistic enterprise. Bah!

The employment by residents of the
Fourth District of private watchmen to
protect their properties from thieves, is a
good idea, but much better one would be
for the gentlemen to form themselves into
regular organizations for patroling the
and horse, and, if properly arranged and
governed, would soon strike terror to the
gangs Of burglars aud villains that now in
fest the city. Some such step is demanded,
property in this city under the rule of Kel-
logg, more especially since he has opened
wide the gates of the Penitentiary and in
vited into society a gang of ffty-seven
murderers burglars, and other rogues to
swell the already large number of criminals
who have made New Orleans their home
within the last year.
The papers each morning are filled with
accounts of the most daring burglaries, and
all the facts go to show that they are com
mitted by skillful cracksmen, who must be
known to the police, but who are not only
never punished, but are never molested.
Frequently and almost daily the public is
shocked by the announcement of some afro
cious murder, committed either upon our
public thorOughtares or in places easily ac-
cessib1e to the police, and aside from the an
nouncement in the papers, the Coroners' in
quest and an attempt at investigation,
nothing is done-the murderer simply re-
placing the cartridges in his pistol or clean
ing his blade for another victim.
1t is rapidly becoming question of
whether we shall quietly yield up our lives
and the little property we have left or
whether we will take measures to protect
them.

The following good thing" we clip from
an exchange: A county clerk in rural
town had pet calf, which he was training
up in the way of an OK. The calf walked
around very peaceably under one end Of the
yoke, while Mr.. Clark held up the other
end. But in an unfortunate moment the
man conceived the idea of putting his own
neck in the yoke, to let the calf see how it
would seem to work with partner; this
frightened the calf and elevating his tail
and his voice, he struck a " dead run" for
the village, and Mr.. Clark went along with
his head down and his plug hat in his hand,
straining every nerve to keep up, and cry
ing out at the top of his voice: "Here we
come! blast our fool souls! Head us, some
body!"

The position of Police Surgeon is one
which calls for profound medical acquire
ments and surgical skill, and considering
the large number of patients that como I'M
der their care and the severe character OF
the diseases which they are frequently
called upon to treat, too much care cannot
be exercised in their selection. To select
an incompetent man simply because he was
partisan and had influential friends, would
make every member of the board particeps
c'iminis for every murder he might commit
through stupidity and ig lorance.
| We ask the members of the Police Board
to-day if they are confident Of the ability
and fitness of the three surgeons they have
| appointed to minister to the police and to
such unfortunates as come under their au-
tbority9 We ask them if man dies under
the treatment of DR.. Julius S. Clark, if they
are prepared to accept their share of the re
sponsiblitys They know that DR.. Clark
gave policeman certificate for bilious fe-
yer when the poor fellow had pronounced
case of smallpox ; they know that he has no
standing as aphysician, and that he is re-
garded as incompetent to prescribe for a
critical case, or to perform a nice surgical
operation, and yet he is retained in his re-
spOnsible place, simply because some high
Kellogg functionary wants him provided
for.
His place on the School Board which he
dishoners is not deemed enough for this Of
tice-cormorant; he must have half dozen
snug berths at once in defiance of law and
decency and in fragrant disregard of the
lives of those individuals upon whom he is
permitted to experiment.
We direct the attention of the Board to
the fact that Clark is occupying two po-
sitions at one and the same time, which is
contrary to law, and demand in the name of
the unfortunates who are in daily danger
from his incompetence, that he shall be sub
jected to rigid examination by committee
of unbiased physicians. This much is due
to his patients and to himself.

The London Hornet thus notices the i'm
pertance of Mr.. Dickens's biographer: Mr..
Forster has omitted, in his Lite Of Dickens,
one striking instance of the great novelist's
perfect dependence on his friend. Dickers,
dining in one of the mansions of the aris'
tOcracy, having taken too much pepper on
his plate, wanted to sneeze, but could not.
His noble host noticed his emotion and re-
marked: "Charlie, what ails thee, lad y
~ want to sneeze," whispered Dickens,

The public have just cause to complain
about the neglect of the officers in the De.

has frequently been directed. Has Mr.

Singularly enough, the publication of a
Parsee version of Washington Irving's Life
of Mahomet, in which there is reference
to the prophets domestic relations, was the
cause of the late riots at Bombay. The au-
thor attempted to stop the sale, but did not
succeed in allaying the resentment Of the
Mussulmans, who were infamed by the
preaching of one of their priests and by the
approach of the festival of the Mohurrum.

The system of drill as to posture is, it ap-
pears, no longer confined to the attitude OF
the Ritualistic clergy in England. Recently
a paper was circulated directing the COM
municants how they are to receive the sac
rament. They are, according to these in
structions, d" to kneel on the step, not below
it; the body should be perfectly upright and
straight from the knee to the shoulder,
without any crouching or prostration, the
head not bent down. The blessed sacrament
should be received in the palm Of the right
hand resting on the left, the fingers being
extended to make the palm fiat, and the
hands held out we'll away from the body as
high as the chest or face. The chalice should
be taken hold of with both hands and
guided to the lips. 1t is exceedingly diff
cult to communicate persons unless they fol-
low these directions"

A New York critic says of Luccas Zerlini,
in the scene where she dsrobes for the
night: at savored more of the candeur
ironically alluded to in opera beuffe than Of
genuine virginia. innocence but if there
was "a touch of Schneiderian genre about it,
no one thought of objecting." Should say
not. What the New Yorker would object to
would make ghost blush.
