and Rio JaneirO Steamship Company, pro-
viding them with a charter and to facilitate
and aid in the construction of steamships
and other vessels for carrying on direct
trade with the empire of Brazil from the
city Of New Orleans, Louisiana, to Rio ia
metro and other Brazilian ports. The act
bears the great seal of State in gold, hand
sOmely ornamental with blue ribbon. The
work has been prepared for the company,
and will no doubt be handsomely framed
for Office use. As specimen of good pen
manship it is certainly creditable work.
SHIPPING Corn TO GERMANY-The steam
ship Koeln takes out considerable quaint
ty Of corn in sacks, shipped by Messrs. j. L.
Gibbons Il Co., grain dealers of POydras
street. This, it is said, is the first shipment
Of this kind ever made in that direction
from this city. The shippers do not con-
that the grain will be landed in Germany
in excellent condition and prove remunera-
tive. The return will be watched with deep
interest by merchants Of this and Western
cities.
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF JUDGE Near
THUR.-1t is now more than three weeks
since Judge Macarthur disappeared 80 uu-
accountably, and not single clue has been
obtained OF him. 1t ia, indeed, singular that
agentleman SO well known as he was could
pass away: and no one have particle of
knowledge of the manner of his taking off.
Detectives have made efforts to obtain some
clue, but up to date have utterly failed.
Every railroad depot, steamboat, steam
ship and ferryboat which departed about
the time the judge disappeared have
been visited, but nobody had seen him. His
many friends now fear that he was drowned
in the river, and that his body has gone
down forever.
RUNNING IN LEvEE PILFERERs-The
police are sufficiently active in arresting
pilferers on the levee, but the compliments
are backward in prosecuting though they
will talk loud and long about the outrage
Of petty thieves. 10 Davis, sometimes
called Chicago Bill, was pulled in from the
head of Lafayette street for shooting off
with bag OF shot. The officer made him
carry it to Jail. Frank Blank, only fifteen
years old, wanted long sweetening, and
stole bucket of it out of barrel at the
head of CustOmhOuse street. When in
prison he sucked his sticky fingers and
dreamed of liberty.
ACCIDENTALLY DROwNED-On Monday
night person who was stranger to those
who were on the Second District ferry.
boat fell off the boats railing and was
drowned. He appeared to be about thirty
five or forty years old. He was not seen an
instant after he fell.
PETTY GAMBLERS AT FRENCH MARKET
1t is stated that numerous petty gamblers |
infest the neighbOEhood of the French |
Market, and to the knowledge of law Off |
GERS. The morals Of Poydras and Pile |
markets are better, and even those old |
rickety shells that numbered the plaza |
have been removed. |
FIRE ON JACKSON STREEr.-About four |
o'clock yesterday morning the two story
house. No. 307 jackson street, was burned, |
and most of the furniture in the upper
rooms was lost. 1t was owned and Occu-
pied by Mr.. p. C.. Cuvillier, and was insured
in the New Orleans Mutual office. Firemen
found it difficult to work to advantage, as
the streets were soft and nearly knee-deep
with mud, caused by recent rains,
WILL Nor GIVE HALF A MLLIoN.-The
speculator who said he would give half
million dollars for the right to collect city
licenses thinks that he will keep his money,
now that Judge Hawkins has restrained
the city from selling.
