MECHANICS AND TRADERS INSURANCE Con-
pANY.-The attention of our readers is especi-
ally directed to the statement of the above
well-known insurance company. 1t will be
seen that the net earned premiums for the
last year amounted to the snug sum of S194,
739. The net profits of the company summed
,up S69, 2SS SO. The assets of the company
amount to 1921 ,629.
The Board of Trustees have resolved to
pay 10 per cent interest on paid in capital,
and declared dividends of d per cent on
paid in capital and 20 per cent on earned
premiums. Considering the condition Of
business in this city, this is most favorable
exhibit. 1t reflects great credit on the man
agement of the company.
The President, Mr.. Lloyd R. Coleman, is
hn experienced, sagacious, energetic and in
(telligent insurance man, while the Secretary,
lMr. James A. White, can not be excelled in
his line of business in this city. The fact is,
that the affairs of this company are conducted
in such manner as to inspire the utmost
confidence in the minds of those who do
business with the same.

Gov Ames had better subside. 1t is doubt
fnl if, excepting Senator Morton and the
Washington organs, there is single public
man or prominent journal in the county that
has any sympathy for hum. Even SO devoted
an organ as the Chicago Tribune says it is all
nonsense to say the negro can't protect him
self, charges the whole troubles in Mississippi
to the pusillanimity of Ames's administration,
and adds: "Instead of organizing military
force, and in person Furnishing the ruffisns-
arresting the murderers, and killing them on
the spot or bringing them to trial, convic-
ton, and execution-the Governor, every
time there is disturbance or murder of a
negro, hastens to the telegraph Office and i'm
plores the President to send him troops.
This, in State where he CAM put $4,000
armed men in the field to execute laws, is
child's play, and the people of the country
are, as the President says, getting tired of

CUTTING ARRAY ON BASIN
STREET.
A Detective Officer Dangerously
Wounded.
Statement of Facts.

At quarter of o'clock A. NJ. Thursday .
difficulty occurred on Basin street. near Canal,
in front of tho Grand Duke Saloon, between
Mike Hennessy, cab driver, and William
Walsh, special officer on the Metropolitan
Police force, during which Walsh was stabbed
twice in the back aud dangerously wounded
with pocket-knife in the hands of Hennessy.
A BULLETIN reporter was upon the spot
and the following is correct statement of
facts: Walsh was in the Grand Duke Saloon
with party Of friends: he approached one Of
them and remarked, "all outside of our party
are thieves" A gentleman who was standing
by turned and said, "Walsh, do you refer TO
me?" Walsh replied, "No; but I will point
out the thieves"
He then went to the door of the saloon,
and pointing to Hennessy and another man,
said: II mean Hennessy is thief. I have
proven so, and he knows it" Hennessy re-
piled, 81 am no thief, and you have no
right to say So" ~ have, said Walsh, "for
I have good proof that you are" The lie was
exchanged, when the loud talking drew the
time on Canal street.
As he came up Walsh said to the police
officer, Help me to arrest that man"
Sheridan laid his hand upon Hennessy, and
Walsh stepping out of the door put his hand
on Hennessy' s left shoulder. Hennessy, who
had his hands in his pocket, then drew
knife, which to all appearances seemed to be
a buck. handle pocket-knife, and opening it
stabbed at him four times, but friends inter-
fering only two of the stabs took eff.ct-one
about three inches from the spine in the left
side, and the other almost in the center of
the back.
Walsh was taken to the Charity Hospital by
Officer Fitzgerald and BULLETIN reporter,
and Hennessy was conveyed to the Central
Station and locked up charged with cutting
and dangerously wounding Walsh.
The physicians dressed the wounds of
Walsh. but refuse, as yet, to pronounce upon
them, as they state that they are in very
vital portion of the body, and they are unable
to probe them and find out the exact depth of
the wounds, but that from appearance. and
the diff Guilty of respiration evinced by Walsh,
indicates internal hemorrhage, though not to
a great extent.
Hsnnessey appeared before Judge Evans.
and was remanded without bail until a certif-
cate can be obtained as to the safety of Walsh.
Hennessy denies that be did the cutting
and claims that Walsh struck him with q
stick. The knife could not be found upon
him when taken to the station; he may have
slipped it to some one, as many of his friends
were around him at the time of the difficulty.

It always affords us sincere pleasure t.,

The young gentleman referred to below is an
eleve of our public schools. performed his duty
faithfully in Fenner's Battery during the lats
war, and left the counting-room of the firm d
Simms Levy, of which his father is menu
Der, to study for the bar. How he has sue
ceeded will best be attested by the opinion so
handsomely expressed by the Columbus (Ga. J
Times, of the 26th ult. :
FINE TALENT.-Columbu can boast of as
fiue talent at her bar as can be found in thu
State. Especially is this the case with our
Younger lawyers. A number Of them are
fresh from the best literary colleges of tie
country, and have settled down in g5pd
earnest to mastering their profession. III
We were particularly impressed with Ibis
fact few days ago while listening to antgr-
gument before the county court made by nr
Young friend Lionel @. Levy Jr., who has
been at the bar scarcely year. He exhiH eed
then, as we'll as on other occasions, a rem TX
able legal acumen, high order of talent,i nd
is possessed of forcible delivery. We hve
no doubt he will soon take position ipthe
front rank at the bar in the State.

MYSTERIOUS INDIVIDUAL.
Up and Down Canal Street.

Very few people pass him in the street
without looking at him. His long, tangled
hair thrown back with an attempt at the ar
tistic, exposing face slightly Saxon in cast,
his soiled velvet coat and seedy breeches, all
told the tale of hand-tc. mouth sort of life.
He is seen every day on Canal strset, ap.
pare ntly on some hurried errand which il
would seem, is never accomplished, for, with
the same bread strides, he stalks along only
to reappear from around some corner.
Where he goes or where he intends tc
go no one knows, and those who have
watched him for months have given il
up as an unfathomable conundrum. Yes.
terday afternoon he, as usual, put in an
appearance on our boulevard, and we took
the pains to inquire of an old detective his
business and character. We learn that he il
the companion of very beautiful woman,
who came here from Peru. and who gives les.
sons on the guitar. He himself dabbles
somewhat in painting, but his end in life
seems to be to impress every one with his
powers of locomotion.
From Switzerland, where he first met his
musical companion, he travelled to South
America, where the lady was engaged to give
music lessons to the daughter Of wealthy
grandee in Quito. Here the couple were
driven out. and journey through that con.
tinent as strolling players at last gave them
means of reaching New Orleans. Since they
have been here they have given the police
considerable anxiety, simply on account Of
their mysterious manners, but as nothing b IS
ever been found in the slightest degree wrong
in their actions, further notice was no,
taken of them.
A small garrett room in the Second District
is their home, and after her musical labors of
the day are ended and his aimless travels
through our thoroughfares finished, over an
old stove their scanty meal is prepared.
The anxious, care-worn face of the man. ex-
pressive of an intense eagerness of desire for
something unattainable, indicates that he is a
theorist Of some kind. Any way, his appear
ance is Sufficient to make one stop and look
around.
In large city like this there must be hun
dreds like this vagrant on the highways
people who have had aims, but now have
lapsed into comatose intellectual condition.
He is little part of the queer materials it
takes to make community.

KILLING FROSIS.
When Will They Occur in Lou
isiana!
Letter from Prof. Tice on the
Subject.

We are indebted to our friend, Mr. Jas. M.
Putnam, for the following letter from Prof.
Tice on the important subject of the probable
date Of the killing frosts in this State. Mr..
Putnam sends us the letter with the following
communication:
New ORLEANS, Sept. 80, 1875.
To the Editor of the Bulletin:
Sr-The date of killing frost is matter
of vital importance to the sugar planters of
this State. Having heard ~arioas dates named
as those predicted by Prot. Tice, addressed
him letter of inquiry, and hand you here
with copy of his reply for publication, if
you consider it Of any benefit to your hume
rous readers.
Very respectfully, yours.
JAS. NJ. PUTNAM, Sugar Broker,
81 Carondelet street.
ST. LOUIS, Sept %, 1875.
Mr.. James M. Putnam:
Su-Yours of the 25sh just received. In
reply would state that have made no pre-
dictions about frosts whatever. excepting that
of expressing the opinion that the disturb
ance caused by the joint equinoxes of Vulcan
and Mercury, November 25 and ~, would be
most probably followed in few days by un-
seasonably cold weather. I can see no reason
for believing that killing frost will occur in
your State during either the first or second
week Of October. None probably will occur
in your State earlier than the 23d of October,
and most likely not before the 25th. The
next greatest danger will be about Nov. 18th.
I expect frosts here next week and over the
Northwest generally. but have no idea that
they will reach the Gulf States severe enough
to do any damage to cane. I will here state
that have not as yet studied the phenomena
of frosts, that only attend arctic high barom-
eters, sufficiently to forecast their occurrence
with any degree of certainty, but the conclu-
sions have arrived at are fully stated in the
last chapter of my Elements of Meteorology.
shall give particular attention to them dur
lug the present autumn and approaching
winter. In fixing the exact dates when dis
turbances will occur, I had to watch and
study low barometers and their invariably at
tending phenomena, rain, hail, snow and
wind storms, and the phenomena of high
barometers were of secondary Importance
until those of the low were determined and
fixed. The terrible hurricane in Texas on
the 18th and 18th inst, and that of England
yesterday testify the surprising accuracy with
which stormy periods can be determined.
To-day is the period of III days spoken of in
my book on pages 1873, 1872, 1853 and 179, but
not put in the table because was not certain
about it then but am now. insert them with
the pen fer the balance Of the year in the
volume sent you.
1 am preparing a course of lectures on
Neurology, to be delivered during the winter.
Respectfully, JOHN FL. TICE.
