DANIEL DREW has been interviewed in
his retirement, and yielded, under gentle
pressure, the following: "Pve retired
permanently from business this time,
which l ought to have done years ago
under different and happier circum-
stances l never dreamed that the time
would come when l should have to go
into bankruptcy. There never was just
such a case as mine ever heard on 'afore.
No man was ever so rich as l was, worth
at one time eight or ten millions of money,
and then made to lose every dollar of it
in so short time" Referring to the
late A. T. Stewart, he said that even
that prompt business man had delayed
his charitable schemes too loag, and now
they would have to be carried out by
some one else, if at all. In allusion to
Stewards wealth, he said he never esti-
mated him at over forty millions; but
Vanderbilt was surely worth a hundred
millions of money if he owned a dollar

Miller, Dolhonde * Co.'S Circular 18th.
We have some interesting and valuable
news to impart to our friends and cor
respondents and which will benefit also
the general interest of this city and those
of the Mississippi valley. Captain Eads!.
jetties are improving daily, and this
week a large steamship drawing fourteen
and a half feet of water came through
them (the South Pass without meeting
any impediments, and before winter,
from present indications, that route will
be the favorite and shortest one to and
from the ocean for the port of New
Orleans, and will give all the water
necessary for the largest vessels-the
publicnewsfrom Washington to-day is that
parties from New York represent the
feeling there regarding the jettles as
entirely confident Commodore Gar
rison, who has been watching their pIO-
gress with a view of placing a line Of
steamships between New Orleans and
Brazil, has made no halt in his prepara-
tions. Dom Pedro has been approached
and there are assurances that his gov
ernment will pay half Cf what may be
necessary to carry the mails, and move
ments are foot to secure a contingent
contract from our government for carry
ing the mail. At present there is ample
tonnage here for cotton, but on account
of insufficient water yet at the mouth of
the river, vessels can not take all the
freight they can carry to load deep with,
such as grain and provisions, but in a
few months our western friends will have
no cause to complain and will be rea!iz-
ing the full benefits of this port and
market, which must prove, in the near
future, the best in this country for the
distribution of cotton, provisions, bread
stufFs and western produce generally.
This city will have different railroads
running TO Texas within this year-and
with the above all accomplished, New
Orleans will offer the best field for cap
italists and manufacturers, as property
and business will increase materially.

German Metz.

The new line of fortifcatiOns which
the Germans are concentrating around
Metz is now adva cling rapidly toward
completion. The exterior girdle of de-
iensive works is finished, with the eXcep-
ton of one fort. which was designed after
the adoption of the original plan, and IS
situated at Worppy, q village to the north
of Metz, which was the scene of Bazaine,s 8
last attempt, on the7th Of October, 1870,
to break through the German lines. The
outer girdle consists of eleven forts Of
these, four are entirely new, and seven
are the old French forts enlarged or re-
built The works have been renamed,
mainly after the. German generals VINO
were conspicuous at the siege OF Metz;
The new Notifications are 70 be supplied

rounded the place where the house stood,
and would very probably have carried it
away, if the gable end, all that is visible,
had not been securely fastened with ropes
to terra frma. Mr.. Decker's loss on the
building is about $4,000 and on furni-
ture about 81 900; insurance not known.
The house was recently purchased by its
present proprietor, and in all probability
it entirely disappeared last night, as very
little of it was visible at a late hour.

THE Boston philanthropists have been
indulging their sympathy for murderers
by getting up petition to save Piper,
convicted of the murder of the little
girl, Mable Young, last summer, in the
tower of one the churches of that city;
but Piper has just made confession of
that bloody deed, as well as of others in
which he was supposed to have had a
hand. The murder was a very atrocious
one, and Piper asserted for some time
that he was innocent, but subsequently,
stated that the girl had been killed by
the trap-door of the belfry falling acci-
dentalIy upon her. He now ccnfesses
thai he killed her, actuated by an in
sane desire for blood.

IN order to act intelligently against
the cotton worm, southern planters are
advised by Professor A. R. Grote to act
in concert. He further recommends
that, whatever agent is employed to de-
stroy the worm, be used against the first
brood that appears in the locality, so as
to prevent its spreading farther. 1t is
highly desirable that the life-history and
habits of such insect pests should be
thoroughly studied, with view to their
determination.

TIMELY TOPICS.

THE St. Louis Globe-Democrat, in ref
erence to the Hot Springs, thinks that
under all the circumstances, the best
thing the government can do is to COM
promise the matter with the present Oc

terms on both sides cannot be arrived at
to sell, in lets, to the highest bidder.

THE Paris fashion inventors are deter
mined to make woman's life a burden to
her. One OF the journals of that city
says that no glove will be tolerated in
good society this season with less than
twenty buttons, while another declares
that in less than five years knee breeches
and six-inch skirts will be the fashionable
street dress for ladies.

NORTH and South Carolina are natur-
ally interested in that clause of the pro-
posed Hawaiian treaty which admits the
rice of the Sandwich Islands free of duty,
rs are also Georgia and Louisiana. To
these states the rice crop is of great i'm
portance, and the planters know that if
exposed to free competition they must
seek some other agricultural pursuit. 1t
is claimed that the remission of duty on
Hawaiian rice is merely for the benefit
of the Pacific coast, but, of course, New
England would come along and demand
that the East India article be admitted
free, in her favor. SO, it will be seen
that the cry for protection" is not
confined entirely to the man ufacturing
interests of the east.

everybody who reads novels understands.
The stage was stopped, and the passen-

THE physicians say that Commodore
Vanderbilt is rapidly going to pieces, and
cannot live many months. 1t is said that
his business has been arranged with a
view to his death at any moment, and
cannot suffer seriously whenever it shall
take place. But the New York stock
exchange is prepared to be excited by an
announcement of his death, whether
true or false.
THE guns about to be exhibited by
Messrs. Krupp at Philadelphia have been

The largest gun exhibited at Vienna by
the same firm was a 30.5 gun of the same
construction. The Philadelphia exhibits
have been shipped in a vessel belonging
to the firm, which has for some time en-
ployed four steamers of its own, and
now proposes further additions to that
hOtilla.
