The officers of the Third Precinct Sta
ton were unusually lively Thursday morning
Between o'clock and noon they hauled in
an unusual number of prisoners.
Outside of bottle of prime Baltimore
whisky there is nothing stirring in the Inter
nal Revenue Department. The tobacco ques-
ton has been referred to the Con- missioner at
Washington, and pending his decision moth
ing will be done.
-. Complaints have been made about the
condition Of Columbus street, between Clai-
borne and Rampant, in the Third District.
The resi- Tents say that it is impossible for
them TO sit out of DOORS owing to the foul
condition of the cutters. This should be
looked into.
80. Northern visitors at San Augus tine,
Florida, derive great pleasure from interviews
with several captive Indian Chiefs who are
detained there. The stalwart warriors are
Comanches and are remarkable for their fine
physique and their stole department.. Almost
every day they are visited by the curious, who
consider an Indian Chief quite novelty.
We regret to learn Of the demise of
Mrs. Marie Vinot, the young and beautiful
wife of Mr. F. B. Vinot, son of our old friend
+. b. Vinot, Esq, deputy clerk of the United
States Circuit Court. Her remains were fol-
lowed to their last resting place by large
number Of sorrowipg friends Thursday morn
ing.
There is considerable talk about the
HI I1ua fha - L, n -
attorney. It appears man signed an injunc-
ton bond as surety after having received
large number of notes as collateraIs to secure
him. The attorney managed to get the bond
out Of court, and telling the surety the bond
was cancelled, got possession Of the notes.
The matter is to be looked into.
IA man with horse can go down the
New Canal shell road by depositing Fl We cents
at the tollgate, while on the wretched road
along the Bayou St. John he must pay ten
cents The latter charge is as unfair as the
road is bad. Some of these prosperous days
the city will make shell road of the Orleans
street road, which IN dry weather is quite as
good as either of the toll roads now, and then
paying to go to the Lake in ones own vehicle,
or on horseback, will be one of the nuisances
of the past.
Our fellow-citizen, Mr.. J. R. McClin-
took, the inventor of the celebrated buckle
cotton tie, has obtained patent for dissol-
wing asphaltum and producing therefrom
superior article of varnish, also a solid mass
suited for the pavement of streets,
banquettes, etc. The application of this var
nish to wood will render it impervious to in
jury from water or the action of the atmos.
phere and mixed with arsenic forms an ex-
collect covering for ships bottoms. Mr.
McClintock has, we understand, the contract
for paving, with his asphaltum preparation,
the walks and avenues lead to the Cen.en-
NAL buildings in Philadelphia.
-. Mr.. Octave Vallette, the skillful yacht
builder ossAlgiers, aud member of the firm
Of Vallette 4 Co., has just finished perhaps |
the most beautiful schooner yacht that was |
aver built in the South she is intended to |
be used as pilot-boat at the Passes, and will |
40 doubt take the horns for speed, as her
ines are the perfection of symmetry, and she
s heavily spared and canvased. She is
lbout forty-two tons burden, draws about nine
eet, and is elegantly finished throughout.
We should like to see her speed tested, and
would suggest that regatta at Pass Christian,
'r at some other point over on the Sound, in
which vessels of her class should enter, would
prove very interesting affair. What say
'ou, yachtsmen all? Why not have a grand
egatta before the season ends for all classes
# yachts?
