The Steamship Morgan City.

The steamship Morgan City, of the Nor
gan line, left her wharf on the morning of
the fourth instant for New York, via the
South Pass and the jetties. She entered
the head of the South Pass at two o'clock
in the afternoon, and grounded on the bar
at that point, and swung around across the
channel. She drew fourteen feet three
inches forward and fifteen feet two inches
aft. Two Tug boats were put at work the
following day trying to pull her eff, but
without success, whereupon two of Nor
gan's railroad ferryboats were sent down to
the South Pass for the purpose Of lighter
ing the vessel. About eight hundred sacks
of corn were taken off and the vessel was
pulled off the bar hack into the river yes,
terday by the two terryboats, the steamer
Grafton, and two other tugboats. She was
reloaded from her lighters and yesterday
went to sea through Southwest Pass. This
has proved costly experiment to the own
ers, and it is fair to presume they will seek
deep water hereafter.

General George A. Custer.

| This gallant officer of the army who
battled savages against fearful odds, who
fought and died with the men of his regi
ment as becomes soldier, and whose body
was found naked and mutiated on the field
that Witnessed his daring, graduated from
the Military Academy in 1861. The war OF
the rebellion was already ripe when he was
assigned to the Second Cavalry. His first
duty was in drilling volunteers at Wash
ington, and his first engagement was at the
battle OF Bull Run. The next year saw him
first lieutenant of the Fifth Cavalry, and
serving on the staff OF General Mcclellan
in the Peninsular campaign OF Virginia
with volunteer rank. In June, 1868, Gus
ter was made Brigadier General of volun-
teers, and assigned to the command of a
cavalry brigade in the army of the Poto.
mac; for gallant service at the battle of
Gettysburg he was brevetted Major General.
He rode with Sheridan in the Shenandoah,
at the head of q cavalry division as
its commander; he was at Five Forks,
and he saw the surrender of Lee at
Appomattox. No officer in the army
saw moro active eervice, or had a more brill
liant record for dash and daring in the war
against rebellion, than young Custer. He
wore then long yellow hair, which tossed
and curled over his shoulders; he was called
the boy general, and was the ideal of a
romantic girls hero. His fame as q success.
ful division general was greatly owing to
the good fortune which attended the opera
tions of General Sheridan in the field, and
Custer and Merritt, who we're always ready
to do and dare, were especial favorites of
the Lieutenant General. Custer was made
q Major General of volunteers, April Is,
1865, and soon after came to this departt-
ment, and was sent to Texas as chief
of cavalry. When the volunteers were
mustered out, Custer was appointed lieu
tenant colonel of the Seventh Cavalry,
which was his rank and regiment at the
time of his death. He went ON frontier
duty at Fort Riley, in the fail of 1866, and
since then, at various times, has had
considerable experience on the plains
as an Indian fighter. He has been
busy man. When there were no
Indians to fight, there were butfaloes
to hunt, or Grand Dukes or English
noblemen to show round; Buffalo Bills to
associate with or race horses to run. Quiet
camp lite was irksome to him, and was only
made tolerable by the pastines of army
lite and by literary pursuits. He was an
easy writer, and his contributions to the
GALAXY, and published books of life on the
plains, have been read with great inter
est. General Custer was as gallant
and noble hearted young soldier
as ever drew sword. He lacked
steadiness of purpose, and sometimes
needed cool advisers to counteract his rest
less and impetuous nature. There are no
faults OF his to be remembered at his grave.
He his mourned as q true soldier, prom
inent in the army Of the United States,
young, yet already adorned with glorious
career; an American, spirited and brave,
who never shirked duty and never hinched
in the face Of an enemy.

The play was given with the following cast:

Philip Massinger wrote this play about
$50 years ago. 1t is as free from humor as
is the "Gamester," or as would be the
"Hunchback" without Helen and 1Nodus 1t
is as jolly as "Othello,' the STRANGER or
the "Iron Chest" The play is taken from
the shelf nova days only by Davenport
and Booth in this country, and only as an
exhibition of what consumate actor can
do in the way of portraying the passions of
an exceedingly self-willed man. Mr.. Da-

There has not yet been time for any an

But let now the tide of population that is

let there be, as their must, higher prizes for

the poor poorer, with an increasing sedl-

The Employment Of Time.

The foundation of all economy Is q
wise disposition of time. Let that be
acquired and true economy in every.
thing else will infallibly and speedily
follow and the most difficult step
toward acquiring it. il real and wise
economy of time. Economy has, in
fact, got very bad character with the
great majority Of people because it ID
COMPOUNDED with stinginess !; though.
in fact. they are 30 far from being
connected that stinginess il q very
deadly enemy to real economy, while
liberality and generosity must be con.
fined to words and wishes where econ.
omy ID not served.
Still some persons imagine that II
they play the niggard with every cent
and every article of which they can
once obtain possession they are good
economists. A more wretched and
complete mistake cannot be made.
Economy Is the right employment Of
money and means, not the boarding
or burying Of them. To save is very
and desirable, but It is no
saving to lay up certain pieces Of coin
while we shiver for the want Of fuel
or faint for want Of the food which
those pieces Of coin would purchase !;
to do 80 is to save the coin, indeed,
but it is to save it at the expense Of
that health and that duration Of life
which no amount Of money can pur.
chase or compensate for.

After the Sedan disaster, when the
Republicans in France asserted that
Napoleon III. was possessed Of enor-
nous property, the statement was in
dignantly denied by the Imperialists.
1t now. however, appears from an Of
fetal document, to which only few
have had access, that in Paris real es-
tate to the amount of over $1,000, ZOO
is held IN trust for the ex-Empress
Eugene and her son. The late En-
peror had, besides, acquired property
at vichy, Marseilles, Biarritz, Bay
onne, and Algiers. /; also the domain of
La Joachere. near Paris, and property
in the Landes. Moreover, the ex-Em.
press Eugene holds numerous mort
cages for loans on real estate in all
parts of France, and the Bonaparte
family possesses large estates in Italy.
Spain, Switzerland, Corsica, and Eng.
land. The personal property of the
deceased Emperor has been valued at
Sl5,000,OOO. He evidently was not
forgetful of the force of destiny, and
his hOardings may, at no distant time,
serve AS the sinews of war for an at
tempt at another restoration of the
Bonaparte dynasty.
