A mechanical genius In New Orleans
has invented e0ntriyance worthy ofthe
originator of the famous machine for the
extermination of the exchange fend. 1t
consists of a neat little skeleton attach
ment for the roof of street car, with
the hinge just over the door. 1t is rather
ornamental than otherwise, and does not
in the least Interfere with passengers.
The driver works it by sort OF treadle.
When he sees a boy catching on the step
he Will go through the usual forms. He
will look indignant and threaten the boy
and appear to be awfully riled; and Of
course the boy will grin and ystandon
one leg, and wagglehis finger against his
nose in derision. just at this interest
ing crisis the driver will stamp his feet
with yigor, and a thing like a graphing
hook will suddenly fly down andewrench
out the seat of that boys trousers, and
snatch him several feet to the rear Of
the car, where the inevitable milk cart
will run over him.

NEW YORK, June 11.-Nothing new
this afternoon regarding the loss of the
steamer Vicksburg, from Montreal to
Quebec, by collision with an iceberg.
There are few faint hopes entertained
OF the safety of the second and third
boats that left the ill-fated ship, and the
probabilities are that all on board,
eighty-three, in number, perished, ex-
cepting the five seamen recovered by the
steamer State OF Georgia. The Vicks-
burg was screw steamer, belonging TO
the Liverpool and Mississippi Steam
ship Company, OF Liverpool. During the
winter she usually sailed between New
