Get ready to go to Grand Isle. Capt.

Thanks to J.. II. Nj the Harbor
Precinct still remains in tack.
"Still so gently DER me stealing is
what we sing every time that our path
leads us out the Canal street crossing to
the levee.
The owners of those negro dens on
Canal street, between Wells and Front
streets, are daily taking in quantities of
greenbacks, and every one passing there
take in full supply Of "greybacks."
If those dens on Canal street are per-
mitted much longer to disgrace our city
the price OF mercurial ointment will
advance.
For late river kilograms see first page.
List of arrivals will be found in our
marine column.
The Bart Able from Grand Ecore will
arrive to-day and leave Saturday at p.
M as usual.
Gone where the woodbne twineth--

Andy Swain still holds the Maria
Louise down.
| Harrigan was active yesterday. He
made two arrests, and had leach one Of
the parties" sent down for ten days. IT
we had a few more such officers as this
Wild Irishman on the landing, there
would be less trouble there. By the
way, cant the Board send bin and Ser
geant Sullivan out to those barrel
houses on Canal street, for q day or
two?
DEPARTuREs.-T following named
steamers left port yesterday: Ouachita
Belle for Ouachita City, G. H. Durfee
for Shreveport, st. Mary and Bertha for
Opelousas. Cherokee for Cincinnati, st.
John for Baton Rouge, Geo. Spangler

Lower Coast
Hunting summer births is the favor
lite pastime Of many Of our river friends
! just now.
The gray upon the black" is at a
premium on the landings at present,
and you can just bet that the grays
make things lively for the blacks.
We think that the Hce-sense should be
taken from the keepers of those barrel
and eating houses on Canal street, be-
tween Wells and Front streets.
STEAMERS LEAVING THIS DAY.
For BGUF RIvER.-The Stella Block,
O. b. Crooks master, and our genial

m. to-day for all landings on the above
stream.

Fl. Durfee, Billy Boardman master, is

port and all way landings at p. m. to-
day
The Frank Pargoud, one Of the most
elegant passenger packets alloat, leaves
for Vicksburg and the Bends every
Thursday at p. IN. Her commander,
Capt. John Tobin, is thorough gentle
man with whom it is pleasure to travel,
and Mr. Curt Holmes, her first clerk, is
a gentleman universally esteemed for
his strict business integrity.
Where has our business gone? The
railroads are doing nothing, and the
steamboats, less than nothing Where
the ''woobine twineth," we suppose. If
this reporter could only obtain posses
|
Ratchet for few minutes, that wood
bine would cease to Irvine at least for
the present.
