The star. (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1874-1875, 1875-04-16

The oldest man in Paris, and pro-
badly the oldest one in the world, that
is 10 say, the best authenticated case OF
longevity at present on record, has just
celebrated his one-hundred-and-ni
birthday. By birth u count, and by pro-
fession an artist, he has for years past
been in the habit of convoking his friends
and acquaintance to be present ut his
little annual fetes. This year he was
not very well, and SO did not have the
usual reunion. The old gentleman is in
perfect possession OF all his faculties,
and has finished recently two pictures,
which he intends 10 offer to The Salon.
In MS drawing-room hang several paint
ings, executed by him within the last
few years, and inscribed the diversions
of Centenarian." He came 10 Paris in
the train of Marie Anloinette, when that
fair and unfortunate Princess arrived in
France. ON her marriage with the Dau-
phin. At the age of .eighty-tour he con-
tracted marriage with a lady young
enough to be his granddaughter, and
one year later became the happy father
of thriving son. Some thirty years
ago NJ. de Walueck offered to the French
Government tor sale small but choice
collection of pictures by the old mas
ters. The authorities thought that the
price demanded for them was too high,
and in consideration of his great age,
they offered to compound the matter by
settling upon him in exchange for his
pictures an annual pension Instead OF 4
liked sum of money to be paid down at
once. The offer was accepted, and has
proved the dearest bargain that the Min
| istry of Fine Arts ever made, the value
OF the paintings having already been
paid some. i've times over, and the Old
gentleman showing no signs as yet of re-
linquishing his pension and his life to-
Getuer.

The steamship City of Havana, which left
for Vera Cruz, yesterday had the best pay
ing freight and passenger list of any steam
er since the organiz ition of this line. She
took out eighty five cabin passengers, at
$50, gold, per head, and 1900 bales of cot
ton, at ive-eighths of q cent per pound, the
shipper paying the compressing.. Mr.. Alex.
andre, one of the owners of these ships,
was among the pas 'engers.
The ship Isaac Reed received over 300
bales of cotton the past week-the largest
weeks work done on sailing vessel at this
port.
There were four ships put to sea during
the last five daye, drawing over nineteen
feet of water, wit out the slightest deten-
ton. This speaks vel for Southwest Pass.
After making contracts to have the work
on the Australian done on this side of the
river by stern dock, the agents changed
their Misunderstanding some mishap--so she
was kept in the Vallette dock, where the
repairs are being rapidly brought to COM
PletioL. She is expected at the wharf, head
of Jackson street, to load for Liverpool the
last of this week.
The sts amship State of Alabama brought
$500 sacks of sals from Liverpool for the
small sum of four shilings per ton. Fortu-
nately, she gets full cargo of cotton at a
good rate of freight. The State of Louisiana
lett Liverpool for this port on the sixteenth
ultimo.
The Nova Scotia ship Stamboul, which
arrived on Thursday, was chartered by
Shultz & Co., and was engaged full-say
1000 bales-in ten minutes after her arrival
at the levee.
The steamship Hanover of the Bremen
line, is due to-day. She brings about $50
emgrants.

In relation to the past interest up to Jan
uary !, 1876, the State give bonds payable
in thirty years, interest TO commences
five years after date; also proposes
that on the direct debt the interet
snould be paid at the rate of three
per cent for three years, and five
per cent for twenty seven years. The re-
port shows that the resources of the State.
If properly handled, are sufficient to very
easily pay this amount on the direct indebT-
edness. An executive committee Of three
was appointed to manage and represent the
interest of the bondholders before the Ala
bama Legislature in an effort to receive a
better compromise than that offered by the
circular OF the commissioners of the sinking
fund. 1t was resolved that one.eighth OF
one per cent be charged on the bonds rep
resented, as an assessment TO defray the ex-
penses incurred by the committee.

Obtaining Goods Under False Prefcnces.
Dickenhott, RatiiDer & Co. sold $27 900
worth OF goods TO Mr.. Ahlborn, and after
collecting $4,000 had him arrested charging
him with obtaining goods by misrepresent-
ing his pecuniaIy condition. A motion in
the Supreme Court chambers to-day to dis
charge the order of arrest brought up the
question whether merchants, after trusting
the representations of persons seeking
credit, could compel them to make good
their representations sunder the penalty OF
Imprisonment. The question was decided
in the affirmative by Judge Douahue's re-
fusal to vacate the order of arrest.
