Marine Items.

The first attempt to raise the large steam
ship Australia by the VAllette dry dock
last week resulted in a failure, in conse-
quence of the tanks leaking S, bad ly /.
The ship was t1oated out, and the latter
part of the week was spent in recaulking
the tanks. Another trial will be made on
Monday.
The quickest dispatch on record in stow
ing cargo of cotton was that of the bark
Susan L. Campbell, which vessel received
2l00 bales of cotton, and it was all under
deck in the short space of six days and a
half. The well known stevedore and ship
owner, Mr.. Alexander Mcneil, claims and
deserves the credit of this quick work.

decker, of which there are very few mer-
chant ships ahoat. She is 1900 tons register,
over 400 feet long, and will carry about 5000
bales of cotton. Everything about decks is
neat and plain, but of the most substanti tial
design and build.
The steamship Alabama, of the State
line, left Liverpool on the sixteenth of this
month for this port. Captain Hamlin, iOf
the Minnesota, takes the place Of Captain
Stewart, her former commander. The
friends and patrons of this once SO popular
line will be glad to hear that there is pros
pect of its revival.
The agents of the steamship Morgan at
Galveston have libeled the Clyde for dam
ages sustained through the recent collision.
1t is reported, however, that the Clyde had
branch pilot on board, while the Morgan
had not.
There are four frst-class new ships in
port, all recently turned out from some one
of the many little hooks that make the har
bors along the coast of Maine. These ships
are all commanded by old New Orleans
traders, and are to be congratulated,
after many years of hard, honest toll, in
being able to tread the quarterback of such
substantial ocean homes. Of these ships,
the Isaac Reed, George F. Manson, Bohe-
mia or Astoria, it would be hard to say
which is the best; but prettier, more
symetrical model than the Astoria can not
be found.

Death of Colonel james EdmOnstOn

Yesterday afternoon Lieutenant Colonel
James Edmonston, long familiarly known
to the people of New Orleans as veteran
of the Mexican war, died after an illness of
several months. He was well known to all
old residents and highly esteemed by the
few who were intimate with him. He was
graduate of West Point, and achieved
distinction as an officer in Mexico. His
grandfather was Major Edmonston of re-
volutionary fame. Somewhat retiring in his
personal habits he had but little aoquaint.
apce with the general public, and of late
years his seclusion has been more marked.
His funeral will take place to day.

Down AMONG THE SINFUL.-Recently a
frail but fair young woman, q resident Of
one OF the splendid palaces of sin in the
First District, was prostrated with fever
which fact was made known to one of her
admirers, at present in this city on visit.
He lost no time in finding physicians
of note to attend her. They Immediately
pronounced the disease yellow fever, and SO
aggravated that they could give no hope of
saving the poor creatures life. A few hours
later the victim had the vomit, and then all
chance was gone, for the doctors had been
summoned at the eleventh hour. The mo.
ment it was known that grim death would
claim the sacrifice of a soiled dove the land
lady closed her establishment to all but
those who felt an interest in the case; she
had done all that money and kind heart
could do to save the girls life, a life that
was nothing but ordinary to her. After the
reaper took his own, the woman who has
the house proved that even in life of
shame there are instances Of nobleness
which put to blush the pretensons of peo
pie who wear their religion on their sleeves.
Nothing was left undone; nothing was lack
ing, only this, it was all in a house of aban-
doned life; yet neighbors who rank as bet
ters may read valuable lesson in charity
in this short chapter. In lite the misguided
girl was beautiful, fact that proved fatal
to her. 1t is believed that her parents re-
side in Detroit, but she came to this city
from Cincinnati only to find an early grave,
grave that it ID possible she gladly flew

Mourning at the New York Press Club

Mourning at the New York Press Club.
At the announcement of the death of
Frederick Hudson, the journalist, the rooms
of the New York Press Club, at No. Cen
tre street, were, on resolution, draped in
mourning for thirty days. The thirty days
expired yesterday, and the steward was
about to remove the emblems of woe when
the death of Henry Wilson was announced.
The executive committee of the orgsniza-
ton therefore resolved to keep the rooms
draped as a mark of respect to the dead
Vice President of the United States. At a
special meeting of the club, to be held next
Saturday, appropriate resolutions will be
offered, which will, no doubt, be adopted.
For the past twenty five years Mr.. Wilson
has been connected with the press of the
country as frequent contributor to our
most popular magazines. In l848 he pur-
chased the Boston Republican. at that time
the organ of the Free Soil party in Massa-
chusetts, and edited it with marked ability
for more than two years.-Nsw York Com

Why our Day Of Issue was
Changed.

The reason why this issue is made on Mon
day, instead of last Saturday, is that the
Sheriff might have an opportunity to insert
advertisements of sales TO be made on the
first Saturday in December-there not being
the legal number of days between next Sat
urday and that date-and if the sheriff had
failed TO offer the property on that day, the
sales would have had to have been postponed
until the first Saturday in February, as The
first Saturday in January is legal holiday
The change is only temporary. The paper
will be issued again next Saturday, and con-
tinue TO appear regularly on Saturday as
usual.
