A friend who was troubled with mosquitoes on
the way from New Orleans by ry says he tried to
smoke the pesky things out Of his room, but
when on reaching point opposite the Arkansas
shore, he one with B-f1at singer and c sharp
singer took the cigar out of his mouth and
seated himself on the top berth to enjoy the
luxuries of the Cuba-six he, the friend, surrend-
cred, and turned himself over a good square
meal for B fiat and the rest of his band.
The Democrats commercial columns Of yester-
day contain an injurious hint at the unsafety of
shipping corn to New Orleans at this season of
the year, and adds that, as part Of the Mary
Aice's cargo this trip is $4,000 bushels Of bulk
corn, we may expect to hear the cry Of cheated
corn, when the tow arrives at the pointof destl-
nation, citing an instance OF the danger the
fact that recent cargo of grain from New York
to Montreal spoiled in transitu. To which We
would reply that, owing to the well ventilated
barges of the NJ. V. T. Co., and the fact that they
receive no grain not properly dried, there is not
the least danger Of any such catastrophe as pre-
dcitedby the Democrat.
