A New Southern Attraction.

The busy season is near its close, and our
citizens are coming their summers pro-
gramme of pleasure and recreation. The
centennial exposition will draw large num-
bers to the Quaker metropolis, but it is
gratifying to note that moro than ever be-
fore is q disposition manifested to seek in
Southern resorts that health and enjoyment
which it has been too much the fashion to
purchase at great cost in distant places.
For two or three years this tendency to sup
port home institutions has been notably on
an increase, with the very natural result
pace with enlarged patronage, until a
elimination has been attained in the erec-
ton of the ''Grand HOTEL at Point Clear,
which leaves even habitual visitors to the
famous caravanseries Of Saratoga, Newport
or Longbranch nbthing to wish for.
On one of the lovliest sites of the entire
American coast, where invigorating sea.
breezes mingle with health-giving zephyrs
from scented pine forests, where drives
and promenades through groves of spread
ing oaks and magnol;as WOO lassitude from
the invalid and the INDECENT, Messrs. II. C.
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
De had at the Grand Hotel. It's fittings and
arrangements are superb and wholly new.
Its facilities for 0illiaSds, ten-pins, beating,
shooting, fishing, driving, ETC., are COM
plete and under experienced management,
so that the man Of the world need fear no
deprivation of accustomed pleasures; while
a superior band will be ever ready at the
cali of Terps;chore's e.evotees.
That the capacities of Captain Baldwin's
magnificent Establishment will be thor
oughly tested by the elite of Mobile and
Montgomery society seems already assured,
and we can safely promise full repre-
sentation from the Crescent City during
the glorious Southern summer evenings
now go near at hand. Point Clear was
ever popular with our people, and many
pleasant "reminiscences linger with them
and recall by-gone men and times. Under
the new regime, with such reasonable
charges az are asked, the old popularity
can not but be increased. The rate for
board is to be emily $50 per month, or g. SC
ner day. Passengers leaving New Jrle ant
on the morning train arrive at Point Clea,
to dinner. The beautiful and fleet steamer
Annie makes daily t,ips from Mobile to the
noint. All letters for further information
should be addressed to e, c. Baldwin &
Co., proprietors, Point Clear, and promptly
too, for the formal opering will take plact
nv tho first of June.

Local Intelligence.

RETURN OF CONFIDENCE WILK1NsoN.-
Detective Pearson, who went to Louisville
to secure the person of wilkinson, the too
enterprising confidence merchant Of, l3ravier
street, returned yesterday, bringing his
prisoner, all right. Mr.. Pearson had hard
light to fight, but his energy prevailed over
strong opposition. He daily contended with
all sorts of writs and all sorts of men, each
opposed to him. Even the ATTORNEYS for
defendant did all they could to delay our
detective, but they finally oaved in, minus
their promised fees. However, one of them
managed to secure Wilkinson's trunk and
lost no time in DOMINIC a suit of his clients
clothing, and had the cheek to wear it be
fore the prisoner. When Pearson grew
weary Of too much fiddling he visited
United States circuit court judge and laid
the case before him as plainly as possible,
on which An order was given by that
functionary for the jailor to deliver the &C
cused to the Louisiana officer. The TAILOR
at first fatty refuse to comply with the
order, but finally considered himself q
tritie subordinate to q government order,
and delivered the prisoner to Mr.. Pearson.
The money, about $4,000, taken from Will
kinson, is still held by parties in Louisville.
Mr.. Pearson, assisted by Mr.. Wash. Marks,
Of this city, and Mr.. Blgh, chief Of the
Louisville detectives, managed the case
very well, especially when the amount of
opposition is considered. Nj. Pearson says
that he thought attorneys in New Orleans
were tolerably stiff, but he thinks they
are next to nowhere when the Kentuckians
take lively hand in criminal case.
Wilkinson was yesterday arraigned be-
fore Judge Evans, pleaded not guilty, and
was placed under $4,000, which he could
not give. His creditors will find him in the
Parish Prison.

OLD MR.. GRADY WAS TAKEN IN.-Yes-
terday morning Mr.. Grady, an elderly man,
thinking of nothing in particular, was
promenadiDg the levee as quietly as pos
sible, when two confidence fellows sidled
up to him in an apparent kindly way. A
third was some dista-ce in front of them,
and he dropped his pocketbook on the ban
quette and walked on as if nothing had oc-
CURED. When the two rascals,. still accom-
panied by their victim. found the wallet
there was $50 note in it. A fair division
was called for by No. 9, and was granted
the old man, who was allowed third; but
No. l objected, saying that they would go
into Molloy's den, No. 272 Tchoupitoulas
street, and draw cards to see who should
have the entire greenback. Of course,
Grady lost, but he was told that if he
would risk s. more On draw ne might SO.
cure everything. As he pulled out his
pocketbook to comply, the robbers
snatched it and fed. Malloy was arrested
as an accessory to the theft Of SIS.
