=. Judge E. North Cullom will arrive in

is expected to get here in time to hand in his
resignation on Thursday.
III. Walkart, Esq, is the owner of the
Adelia, the winning boat at the Bay ST. Louis
regatta, and the Cayugs was owned by G. B.
Keep Esq. In our report of the regatta the
question of ownership was somewhat mixed
The Times yesterday reiterated the
charges made in the Wahl assessment matter,
and its language seems to indicate that Mr..
Wahl has been seen. If this be so. he should
be brought before the Assistant Attorney
General and the matter thoroughly sifted.
-. The rainfall from A. Nj. August 16,
to 6 A. M. August IL, "a hours, was 2. ITO
inches. People living in that portion of the
city drained by the Melpomene Canal, will be
pleased to know that the draining machine
has been at work for two nights and two days,
and is still at it.
-. Market gardeners and others interested
should understand that they are entitled to
remove street pilings or the dirt which is
thrown by city laborers out of cutters, etc.,
free of cost. There is no better manure in
the world, and its removal will add to the
salubrity of the city.
The City Fathers made slight show at
harvesting their Canal street weed crop on
Monday. One man with a poor scythe was
kept wofully busy oil day moving little
over square of the farm. The residents in
the region thereabout look upon the entire
matter as one of the weak Jokes of the au-
thorities.
-. In an account published in this paper
Tuesday morning, of an outrage perpetrated
upon pleasure party at Hammond Station
on Sunday last, by a number of rowdies, a
youth named Tom Condor (who participated
in the ROW., was spoken of as an employee of
the news agent of the road. We are glad to
learn that Condor, though a former EN-.
ployee was discharged some six weeks ago and
went on the train Sunday merely as a pas
senger.
80. There are many in this city who are not
at all astonished at the loss of the Rio Bravo,
pnt VII h oto n d;po tho foot tb.t che bol hoor
prepared for her trip to the Rio Grande. She
was an old river boat, having been launched
some fifteen years ago, and could not stand
the winds and gales of the gulf. The most
astonishing part of the matter is. however,
that she should have been lost at the particu-
lar point where she was, as that spot is con-
sidered quite secure.
-. United States Commissioner John B.
Weller succumbed to the attack of small pox
AMI died Tuesday morning He was man
who moved in public life for more than forty
years, and occupied at different times many
positions of honor and trust. He was Judge
of the Supreme Court and Governor of CAL
ifornia, and United States Senator. After his
arrival here he was appointed by Judge Durell
to the Office of Commissioner, the duties of
which he filed with satisfaction. He leaves,
we believe, no family.
The latest composition of our gifted
colored pianist, Bazile Barris is gallop dedi-
Gated to Rex, entitled the Carnival Gallop,"
which, for brilliancy and Beauty, we have
never heard excelled-that is when Bazle
plays it in his own dashing and inimitable
style-a style which many of the most famous
pianists might we'll envy.
Our music-loving friends, and especially all
loyal subjects of Rex, should first go to Grune-
wald's and hear Bazile play it, and then add
it to their collection. There is the very spirit
of music in it, and a lame man hearing it
would inevitably forget his loss and start off
on a mad gallopade with his wooden leg.
Bazile is unquestionably musical genius,
and he will one day achieve something more
than local reputation. In many respects he
is the equal of men who have won fame upon
two continents and there is really no reason
why he should not, in time, hope to rival
them in every thing.
