A Clever Notice.

Our French merchants are by no means
behind the Yankees in their talent for
bringing their wares before the public. At
the corner of st. Ann and Royal streets is an
extensive shoe store, over which the proprie-
tor has hoisted an immense red flag, bla-
zoned with his name and occupation. He
supplements this tiagrant demonstration
with poetical handbill, extensively dis
tributed, of which we have been furnished
copy. The red flag and poetry, as we
understand, is intended to take the shine

This last has a sign representing lion
couchant and gnawing at lady's gaiter
boots. The legend below reads thus !:
"Dechirer peut-stie: maiS decoudre-,jamais." )"
"Perhaps, Mr.. Lion, you may tear the
gaiter all to pieces, but rip it!-neverl"
The proprietor of the red flag is named

The Rio JapeirO Trade.

Last Friday evening number of mer
| chants and others assembled at the office OF
A. h. Miller & 90. to discuss the prospects
of New Orleans and Rio Janeiro line o.
| steamships.
Mr.. Raymond was called to the chair, and
| stated the meeting had been called to Sc
cure for the benefit of those attending spe
cial details generally unknown to those
interested in the South American trade

| exports and imports of Venezuela and ia
maica, with some reference to points be
| tween here and Rio Janeiro.
Mr. Joseph Fry Mogridge, the secretary
of the company, also presented statistics OF
the trade, and Colonel William NJ Burwell
described the advant ages to be obtained by
| an encouragement OF the trade He also
read encouraging letters from officers Of
railroad lines connecting with New Orleans.
Captain A. X. Miller illustrated his re
marks by map of the route to be follow ed
by the line. Steamships making the trip in
eighteen or twenty dsys were necessary.
Sailing vessels made the voyage in twenty
seven days to New Orleans, but required
more than forty days from New Orleans to
Rio. The intermediate ports of Jamaica,
Laguayra, Trinidad. Demarara, Marahnam
Pernambuco and Bahia were to be touched
The steamships should carry 5000 or 10000
barrels of -four. If merchants would sub
scribe tWo-thirds of the cargo the company
would put freights at 81 25 per barrel and
ten per cent primage. The line offers fine
weather at all seasons.
Messrs. c. A. Whitney g. Co., agents OF
Morgans line, proposed a concession of
twenty-five per cent off freight and passen-
ger rates. Mr.. G. H. Rea, president of the
Mississippi Valley Transportation Com
pany, offered reduction of thirty three
per cent on all freights consigned to the
company for the first six months.
Administrator Landry promised co-ope-
leagues.

Mullen and adopted:
Resolced, That committee of three be
appointed by the chairman to investigate
the matter of inaugurating steamship COM
municatiOn with the South American ports,
aud ascertain how far it is practicable to

the merchants of New Orleans and other
cities immediately interested, for the ship
ment of an initial cargo.

Miller, A. j. Gomila and +. j. Odendahl.

tee.

Mr.. Mullen, were also adopted:

sentatives in Congress are respectfully re-
quested to apply to Congress for a postal

line of monthly ste amers between New Or
leans and Rio Janeiro.
ResOlrcd, That copies of this resolution

WASHINGTON, November 90, 1875.
The three all-engrossing topics Of oonver-
sation in political circles are the Speaker
ship, the Cuban affair and war with Mexico.
In my last letter gave what believe to
be the true state Of the case in regard to
these questions. As the contest over the
Speakership advances it will be found that
it will sharpen and confirm the issues as
Joined in the late elections between the
Republicans, unless, indeed, the Repub-
licans themselves lead the public mind away
from these issues by war with Spain or
with Mexico, or with both. In such case
the issues 80 successfully joined in the late
elections between the Confederate. Demo
cracy and the Republicans will be entirely
lost sight of. They will disappear. Under
the cover of this "happy accident, or Re-
publican blum der, the "sllies" will quickly
organize the House of Representatives, and
proceed, under the cover Of public indiffer-
ence, with the work of sapping the founda-
tion of the Republicans on the one ha&d,
and of building up Tammany Hall ON the
other. The foreign war; CRY will aid in
both these respects. 1t will do four things:
First-It will, ss before stated, divert

Mark Twain is to lecture in Hartford for

"As this will probably be the last time l

sound wisdom and pure truth delivered

The Grand Union.

This is the name of the magnificent new
centennial hotel, nearly completed, in the
northern part of the city of Philadelphia
1t is owned and controlled by number of
the solid men of that city, and bids fair to
be the most popular hotel for centennial
visitors who propose either a short stay or
spending the summer, as it is delightfully."-
situated, fronting on the most picturesque
part of suburban Philadelphia. 1t is within
easy access of the centennial buildings, is
substantially built of brick and stone, has
$50 chambers, all handsomely furnished,
and accommodations for 1000 guests. The
Grand Union will be open for visitors on
the first of January, 1876, and its tariff of
prices has been fixed at 81 so to 81 per day,
according to rooms.

The Jockey Club Rnces.

On next Saturday will occur the first
races of the fall meeting of the Louisiana
Jockey Club. All things point to success

celebrated running horses have already been
entered for cont ss.s, the purses are liberal,
and the track will be managed by gentle
men of the club who have had long expe-
rience in racing matters. There is nothing
tJ prevent large attendance on ach of the
four days. The ladies are sure of polite at
tention from the reception committee, and
they can reach and occupy the grand stand
with as much pro )riety as they can visit a
theatre, accompanied by gentlemen. Our
fair ones understand this, and are preparing
for the races with unusual zeal. Many
bright eyes will watch the coursers as they
swiftly circle the track, and many pairs
of gloves will be lost and won as the
story of speed is told by flying feet
at the home stretch. The carriage road to
the Fair Grounds has been put in excellent
condition for those able TO furnish their
own conveyances TO and from the races; but
team for style on the road, or the expense
of coach hire, is not necessary to enjoy the
faces. There are three lines of street rail
roads running to the racing track, assuring
safe and comfortable carriage to and from
the gates Of the grounds, and as last spring,
the cheaper method will be most fashion
able, and ladies and gentlemen will take

coyed into or driven into any policy which
will hazard the cause OF the Union in the
next presidential election. That cause
stands above the Cuban question and the
Mexican question, both combined. We are
perfectly able to protect American interests

publican principles in Spanish America
without resort to war. The first thing is
tor the Republican party to make sure OF
the presidential election of 1876. To make
sure of this is simply not to throw away
the victory lately achieved in the Northern
State elections. The Confederate DE- mocracy
is now at our feet, beaten, disorganized and
utterly demoralized. Let us hold firmly to
this position. After the next presidential
election we can take Cuba in hand with
safety and strength and success B.
