Isn't there something they can beat

The FIRE we'll at the corner of Front and
Julia streets, needs attention. It is partly
uncovered and affords splendid opportunity
for injury to wagons and teams passing that

=. The steamboat Shannon, which arrived
yesterday from Cincinnati, had on board
ITO army wagons consigned to Major J. A..
Potter, U. s. A. IT is rather strange con-
Segment for this place at this time, but it is
thought by many that the wagons are in
tended for shipment to Texas, if so. 1t looks
like there might be a war cloud somewhere.
=. notwithstanding the fact that there are
now many families suffering for food. servants
retain that stiff upper lip for which they have
been handed down to future ages. They de-
mand the highest rates and fail to be satisfied
with less than one-haH the market money.
Where Is the remedy? a.9tpi
-. .Chas Clinton, Auditor, has issued q
circular to tax collectors instructing them "to
continue collecting delinquent taxes without
adding penalties thereto up to and including
November 1875" and at the same time giving
the collectors to understand "that the remis-
sion of penalties does not operate to postpone
collections beyond the usual time after SER
vice Of notice" This circular is the result Of
torney General, the Governor and the Auditor.
-. Looking over the columns Of the New
Orleans Times of Tuesday, July 6, we were
very much entertained by reading a couple Of
we'll written and. exceedingly interesting arti-
cles in the sporting column, headed respec-
lively. '.From the Professional. Camp" and
'Happy Philadelphia" butwhen we read the
New York Clipper of July 3, we were amazed
to find two articles with the same headings.
and upon instituting comparison we found
al
of the Clippers paragraphs of a previous date.

y. The business of the well-known West
ern produce house of Webster & Co. has been
transferred to the staunch firm of Schmidt &
Ziegler. Mr.. F. B. Webster son of L. J.
Webster, the senior partner of the late firm
of Webster & Co., will hereafter be connected
with the firm of Schmidt & Ziegler.
Both houses have been long and favorably
known in business circles, and the coalition
will form one of the strongest mercantile
firms in the South. Mr.. Webster leaves this
evening on business trip through Arkansas,
in behalf of his firm. We commend him to
the courtesy of our friends in that State.
We hope our various rowing clubs are
devoting themselves to the business before
them. We want to see one Of the New Or
leans boats in the lead at the finish of the
grand regatta on the Lake, to come of on the
18th inst; but just here we must whisper
word of caution. Those Charleston and Sa-
vannah boys are pretty tough, they know
what regattas are, and they handle their oars
deftly and powerfully. -u,se
Each of our clubs will therefore have to put
its best crews forward land they must prac-
tice constantly and judiciously. In the Sc
lection of crews, men should be chosen with
special reference to muscle, skill and wind.
There should be no suchsthing as favoritism,
and no man should stand in the way Of q bet
ter. Let us go in with determination to
win, and bend all our energies to that end,
and then if we fail, We fail with the proud
satisfaction of having done our level best.
Men can do no more. Give way, gentlemen

=. To-day Capt. Brown, Of the elegant
passenger steamer W. S.. Pike. will treat
the orphans Of, our city to. . grand excursion
and picnic up the river. All the asylums
have been invited, Independent of sect or
creed, and it is expected that there will be
perfect ARMY of little ones marshaled for
day in the woods. Every arrangement has
been made looking to the comfort and pleas
ure of the little folks, and it is intended that
they shall have at least one good day. romp
under the green trees, with every facility for
the enjoyment of such pleasures as are suited
to their childish fancies. This annual picnic
is happy thought Of Capt. Browns, and will
doubtless earn for him the most heartfelt
gratitude from the little orphans in whose
lives 50 few pleasures are allowed to enter.
There is more real charity in deed like this
than in hundred prosy sermons about the
eau.ies of benevolence.
