Tho busy season 10 near it, Gloss, and our
citizens are coming their summers pro-
granme of pleasure and recreation. The
centennial exposition win draw large num-
bers to the Quaker metropolis, but it 10
gratifying to note that more than ever DO
fore is disposition manifested to seek in
Southern resorts that health and enjoyment
which it has been toe much the fashion to
purchase Ut great cost in distant places.
For two or three years this tendency to sup
port homo institutions has been notably ON
an increase, with the very natural result
that attractiveness and facilities have kept
pace with enlarged patronage, until .
culmination has been attained in the GREG
ton Of the ''Grand Hotel" at Point Clear,
which leaves even habitual visitors to the
famous caravanseries of Saratoga, Newport
or Lpngbranch nothing to wish for.
On ono of the lovliest sites Of the entire
American coast, where invigsrating sea-
breezes mingle with health-giviag zephyrs
from scented pine forests, where drives
and promenades through groves Of spread
the invalid and the INDECENT, Messrs. h. G.
Baldwin & Co. have erected hotel unsur-
passed for completeness in all its appoint
ments. Every comfort and convenience of
first class fashionable watering place can
90 had ut the Grand Hotel. Its fittings and
arrangements are superb and wholly new.
Its facilities for billiards, ten-pins, boating,
shooting, fishing, driving, etc., are COM
plete and under experienced management,
20 that the man of the world need fear NO
deprivation Of accustomed pleasures; while
. superior band will be ever ready ct the
call of Terpsichore's devotees.
That the capacities OF Captain Baldwin,
magnificent establishment will be thor
oughly tested by the elite of Mobile and
Montgomery society seems already assured,
and We can safely promise q full repre-
sentation from the Crescent City during
the glorious Southern summer evenings
now 90 near at hand. Point Clear was
ever popular with our people, and many
pleasant "reminiscences inger with them
and recall by-gone men and times. Under
the new regime, with such reasonable
charges - are asked, the old popularity
can not but be increased. The rate for
board is to be only $50 per month, or - so
per day. Passengers leaving New Orleans
ON the morning train arrive at Point Clear
to dinner. The beautiful and feet steamer
Annie makes daily trips from Mobile to the
point. All letters for further information
should be addressed to H. C. Baldwin e.
Co., proprietors, Point Clear, and promptly,
too. for the formal opening will take place
BY the first Of June.

Too MUCH LAUDANuM.-Early yesterday
morning persons who reside in the house
No. 3-9 Cuustomhouse street, were aroused
by statement that ono of the inmates had
taken dose Of laudanum sufficient to kill
half dozen people. The self-sscriAcing
person was Frederick Younger, German,
forty-five years old, who had swallowed
three ounces Of the drug. purposely to end
his days. Dr.. Grosshart, physician in the
Charity Hospital, was informed of the case,
and that gentleman lost NO time in attend
ing to the call. He, ON learning the facts,
was convinced that nothing could possibly
save the unfortunate man, and therefore
gave up the case - . hopeless one. Not
long ago Younger was arrested and incar-
cerated - an incorrigible drunkard, a. ap-
pearances indicated such was the fact, but
subsequent disclosures proved that such
was not the truth. 1t was ascertained that
the dose which Younger had swallowed
would certainly prove fatal. and he died q
few hours afterward. Deceased was .
shoemaker, and for several weeks had in
dulged In strong drink. Monday night,
after he had taken the deadly drug, he
went to his room and laid down on sofa
and apparently went to sleep, but his con-
dit,on was such - to attract the attention
of his wife and children. He was restless
and could not remain in one place, but hia
family had no idea that he had poisoned
himself. An inquest showed death was the
result of selfmurder.

p. Davis, Of st. Lonis, who had hsd tho
city; but it was aseertainsd that tho bur
glar had returned to this city and commit.
ted three other robberies. IS
On Sunday last Detectives Pecofs and
Cain had information that no was in tho
city again and ct once suspected him Of
having committed . burglary and larceny
1t the corner Of Peters. and CrOssmsn
streets. whereby Nicholas Mitehsil lost >
gold watch and chain, $50 in Gosh and
some clothing. In passing ont Canal
street, near the levee, tho officers spotted
Davis, and at once arrested him - answer
ing the description Of the man Who had
sold Mr.. Harrhson's property. When
arrested he threw . watch and chain into
. barroom. which ives picked mp by the
officers, and upon examination 1t proved to
be the one stolen from NJ. Mitchell On Fri
day night. From data found upon his per-
son when searched Of tho station, the OIL
GERS learned that he had room on Broad
street, near tho Smallpox Hospital, to
which place they immedistely repaired,
and found in his trunk oil the clothing
stolen from Mr.. Mitchell, also ., CORES
pondence that had been carried on between
him and the notorious Bordelais, now in
the Penitentiary, who asked him for $50.
The property of Mr. Harrison was re-
covered and returned to him ct tho time,
but is still ready for evidence. Davis was
fully identified - the party who carried
Mr.. Harrisson's property to the place where
it was recovered the morning Of tho bur
glary. Davis il about twenty three years
old, powerfully built man, dark complex
ion, and native of Bordeaux. He speaks
good English, - we'll - his native Ian
guage. 1: is ascertained that Dsvis had his
fingers chopped of while attempting to
commit burglary in Cincinnati some three
years ego, and they proved the missing link
that led to his arrest.
Detectives Pecora and Cain are deserv-
ing of great credit for the manner in which
they have worked up tho case, arrested
Davis and recovered al tie stolen prop

FIREs.-At an early hour Tuesday morn
ing most diabolical attempt at arson was
made at No. 34S Tchoupitoulas street, which
was fortunately discovered by Officer T.
Clarrisse. The officer was standing at the
corner of Tchoupitoulas and Delord streets,
when he suddenly discovered the reflection
of the blaze within the house, and he hur'
RED to the engine house of No. and gave
the alarm. The alarm was then given to
Volunteer No. l, and in q short time both
engines were on the ground, and succeeded
in extingushing the flames before they
had gained much Roadway. The
building, which is two-story brick, is
owned by Mr. Cooper, and the lower floor
occupied by Denis O'Keefe, as saddlery
and harness shop, and the upper floor for
driving moss and other purposes by MI.
O'Keefe. Upon entering the building the
floor of the hallway leading to the two
rooms in the second story was found to be
spread with moss, which was saturated
with coal oil. Underneath the stairs. in
small room, the floor was strewed with
matches, and just inside of the door was
five gallon can containing coal oil, in close
proximity to q package containing two
pounds of gunpowder. The rear OF the
room was filed with moss and other stuff.
While the police were examining the prem
ises man was seen to drop off the shed OF
q house on ITALIA street and run toward
the river, and owing to the darkness Of the
night he escaped. Had it not been for the
vigilance of Officer Clarrisse, who discov-
cred the fire, the flames would soon have
ignited the coal oil and gunpowder and
caused an explosion and loss Of life to the
inmates of that and adjoining buildings. II
was not ascertained whether the building
was insured or not.
About twelve O'Clock Monday night OH.
Ger johnson discovered man in the act Of
setting fire to the cottage corner Of Laurel
and Marengo streets, and gave chase al
once, but the man escaped owing to the
darkness. Upon the officers return to the
house he discovered bright blaze, which
was extinguished with small damage.
A fire was discovered about twelve O'CLOCK
yesterday in one half of the unoccup'ed
brick house situated at the corner OF Basin
and Customhouse streets, owned by Fran
co.'s Lacroix. The fire was extingulshed py
the Babcock fire engine on Rampant street
with damage of about $40. The ire II
supposed to have been the work Of an in
cendiary, as that part of the house is unoc
cupied, and the flames were rising from
heap of straw and pieces of carpet No clu'
to the incendiaries was found.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Graphic writes: .s.,5sa
The Louisisns and Mississippf outbreaks
have produced considerable uneasiness In
Washington. Everything that the law
allows to be done for the preservation OF
peace in these communities will Be done:
Every time that an outbreak OF thin kind
occurs converts are made to Senator Nor
toms doctrine that the Southern question 10
net settled, that somehow 1t will not stay
settled after being apparently settled.
Every Northern man must be puzsled with
the news from the South. One would i'm
agine that the White Liners had al tint
they wanted in Mississippi. They have the
government from top to bottom. Yet tho
shotgun policy 10 not abandoned. In Lou.
isians the shotgun policy 10 continued be-
cause the White Liners are only in posses
men Northern Republicans have NO reason
to reject the Southern outbreaks. Like the
speeches of Ben Hill and Ran Tucker, they
help to unite the North and emphasize the
cardinal point in the Republican creod-a
Just enforcement of the laws for the protec-
ton of blacks and whites alike.
