ON DIT.

:. The Third Precinct was very ivel,
on Sunday, as there were ffty-six arrests
made.
The ruling of the Internal Revenue
Commissioner at Washington on the cigal
makers is expected soon. 1t appears tht
United States District Attorney here has bu
very little confidence in the case.
49,. The East Feliciana matter is about al
an end. Smith, the Sheriff, has not resigned,
and is not likely to resign. He does not think
the parish is so turbulent as it was before his
resignation was called for.
90. The late increase of importations in the
Custom-House gives promise of an early open.
ing of business this fall It is stated thai
it has been but rarely the case that such
heavy invoices have been received here at this
season of the year.
80. The members of the New Orleans and
Crescent City Rifle Clubs rallied on Sunday
and at their respective grounds there was an
unusually good attendance. There were sew.
eral close contests, and in the New Orleans
Club Mr. E. j. Wenck carried off both
medals.
-. The billiard match at that cosy little
billiard room, the st. James, underneath the
st. James Hotel, resulted as follows: The
score of Hodge, including the rs points given
him, stood 27S, and the score OF Oberlandel
was 800, his average being ST.
=. There is piano up town, which is
either run by the Keely motor, or else some
body has discovered the long-sought-for prin-
ciple of perpetual motion, and has applied
it to that piano. Certainly nothing human
could propel it SO vigorously and for SO long
time.
-. We notice amongst late shipments made
to this port from Texas, quite large amounts
of choice wheat by steamer. 1t is said the
prospects are good for the establishment here
of large -four mill of capacity sufficient
to turn out some five hundred barrels per
diem. This promises to be a thriving indus
try here
-. In the suit for the Receivership of the
Western Division of the Mobile and Texas
Railroad, continuous writ of assistance has
been taken out, calling upon the present and
all future Marshals to secure Frank NJ. Ames,
Esq, in the possession of the road as trustee.
supplemental bill will be filed at an early
date before the United States Circuit Court,
looking to a complete adjudication Of the
question.
80. John M. Barrett. formerly attached to
the reportorial staff of the Picayune, is now
editor-in chief and part proprietor of the
Helena Independent, Montana Territory We
fancy Barrett has constituted himself fighting
editor, as we look in vain for his ear marks in
the paper, and if the rough customers in
those parts will accept disinterested and
kindly advice. they will give the editorial
sanctum Of the Independent wide berth, that
is if the "Tranter with which Barrett
cleared saloon herein about half a min
ute-be still in working order.
80. The good people of Pensacola, Fla,
had quite scare few days ago. They had
instituted very rigid quarantine against the
Navy Yard and Barrancas, and were jast con-
graduating themselves upon their good for
tune in escaping an epidemic, when poor
fellow, carpenter, who had been at work on
q building, some distance from Barrancas,
happened to go home to attend wedding
and was taken sick.
He only had bad cold, with attendant
neuralgia, but the City Physician at once de-
elared it to be Simon pure case of fever. and
hence the scare. His house was at once ex-
communicated, SO to speak; cor Ion
of police surrounded the square, and
the unfortunate carpenter sat in his
doorway smoking a pipe, and reflect
ing, no doubt, upon the absurdity of
panics, and wondering whether the burning
of countless tar-barrels around his dwelling
would prevent the inhabitants of Pensacola
from contracting ca-tarrh, or it may be, asking
himself whether the Kahn of Tar-tar-y can tar
the ca-taYrh or even the fever out of his domin-
ions. A very intelligent correspondent in
Pensacola writes that there has been no fever
there, and that the health of the place is only
eaualled by the dullness A little more quaran-
tine will wipe Pensacola from the map.
