Fifty marines and sailors from the
monitors lying at Pensacola arrived IL The
city yesterday.
=. BOD u on the war path. He thinks he
is an injured individual and talks very loudly.
de makes good figure to show off blue
coat but as sergeant it can hardly be said
he is an eminent success.
Could not Secretary Of State Deslonde
be induced to make that expose of the work
lngs OF the Funding Board, even though he
has concluded not to withdraw. He was mad
enough to have told it all yesterday if the
Governor had only kept quiet
The neighborhood of Jackson Square
no more resounds to the echoes of excited
lawyers pleading on behalf of impecunious
lltigants. Prats solitary pelican takes charge
OF the street in front Of the Cathedral, whilst
Deputy Sheriff Goldings trained kangaroo
watches over the courthouses. The aspect
is dismal indeed, when compared to term
time.
....Al the papers were led into an error in
stating that the yacht Grace Darling will take
part in the regatta to come off on Thursday
next The Darling is thirty six feet boat.
and is not exactly in 6x to run against lighter
yachts with racing sails. She is canvased
Tor pleasure and safety, and we believe can
show her heels to any boat of her dimensions,
or near them, in these or adjacent
waters. In recent cruise along
the coast as far as Pensacola she
met many of the best yachts and pilot
boats, giving them the go by handsomely.
10 ut her Tor racing nearly double the amount
OF canvas would have to be placed upon her,
but even as she stands to-day we suspect her
owner would willingly match her against
boats OF her class, or even under, if good
breeze be made part of the agreement
Wonder If match can't be arranged between
the Darling and some similar yacht?
IA serious and very nearly fatal accident
happened on Monday evening last to Mr.
Frank T. Howard, son Of Charles T.
Howard, Esq, while on a fishing
excursion to Ship Island. It appears
that some of the party assembled
the old tower at the Fort on the Island, and
all except young Mr.. Howard, in descending,
went down the stairway upon which they had
assembled. He, however, finding another
stairway, concluded to go down that, and in
attempting to do SO in the dark, fell dis
lance Of some ten or twelve feet upon gran
lite floor.
He remained there some fifteen minutes be-
fore his companions missed him, and, when
found, was lying insensible and as one dead.
Fortunately, the revenue cutter Delaware was
lying near, and Surgeon Dinsmore, as
soon as he heard of the accident,
hurried on shore and succeeded, by applying
restoratives, in resuscitating the unfortunate
young gentleman, who probably owes his
life to the succor thus promptly rendered by
a kind-hearted and skillful surgeon.
He was conveyed to his home at Biloxi, and
as congestion of the lungs set in there was
some doubt as to his recovery. At last &C
counts, however, he had rallied, and was
considered ont of danger.
1t appears the steps down which he fell
were old, and several had rotted away, but he |
could not see this and his fall was inevitable |
Mr.. Howard .is just twenty years of age, |
and is at home on vacation from the Polyteoh- |
mic College, ct Troy, New York.
