PLAYING WITH A DEADLY WEAPoN.-Last
evening Charles Mundsy, only eleven yeals
old, found loaded pistol in an armOir ct
the home of Mr.. Beartsiel, corner Of Seguin
and Villere streets, Algiers, and boy like,
played with it as he would with an innocent
toy. not understanding that death lurked
inside the weapon. While handling the re-
volver he accidentally or unwittingIy raised
the hammer, pointing the muzz.e toward
his head. The piece was discharged and
the bullet entered his brain through his
right eye, causing instant death. A young
son of Mr. Beartaiel was in the room with
the unfortunate child at the time, and wit.
reeeed the terrible tragedy.

THE JOHNSON ZoUAvEs-This finely uni.

veteran soldiers, under command of Major
William Dupuru, with Reuben Elmore. NJ.
Harris and M. Williams as aids, and j: j.
White, secretary. The members were all in
apparently splendid trim, and seemed to
enjoy the turnout. The serenade rendered

DEATH OF JAMES A. SULLIvAN.-Yester
day, at the comparatively early age of forty
two, James A. Sullivan died IN the city. He
had resided here for the past twenty-nine
years, and won and kept hundreds of
friends by his attractive qualities. One of
the most noted acts of his life was openly
pledging himself to the Union cause BY be-
coming . first lieutenant Of the First Lou,
siana Legion when such . step cost him all
he had held dear. He was trusted and
esteemed by Generals Banks and Butler, and
since the war has been in the employ of
both the national and State revenue de-
partments. He Was distinguished by his
upright character, honorable principles,
fidelity to his friends and . sorupulous dis
charge of every obligation. He leaves
many who will regret him, but no debts.

He IS DAY DREAMER.-A gentleman OF
this city who holds Q public position is
blessed with Q wonderful faculty, in this,
that when his friends lose something valu-
able and he. by chance or otherwise, is
made aware of the circumstance. he will
soon after tell where the property is hid
den. The vision, if such it may be called,
is sometimes revealed to him while he is
sleeping lightly; at other times the fact
flashes on his mind while pursuing bis regu.
lar duties. This foresight often assisted
him when he was lad and he was unaware
of it's strangeness. Not more than q month
ago one Of this gentleman's friends was
robbed of piece of cherished jewelry. and
casually related the circumstance to Q few
friends who were dining with him-our
friend being one of the party. He gave
tho subject only ordinary notice, and M.
mind. Early the following morning he
dreamed that he saw the jewel hidden in
Secluded nook in the owners house, and
being 20 we'll convinced that such was the
case, dressed hurriedly and visited his
friend to inform him. Both gentlemen
visited the diningroOm, and on examining
the indicated spot found the treasure stored
away. A suspected person was then ques.
toned, and he unhe:itatingly acknowledged
that he was guilty. This is the last instance
of the gentleman's remarkable power, and
a. all interested are tolersbly we'll known
the facts can be easily substantiated by
several witnesses. The gentleman il not
superstitious, is not believer in Spiritual
ism, nor does he believe in the supernatural;
indeed, he is one of the most practical per
sons living, and seldom allows his singular
qualification to disturb his serenity. This
publication is made without his knowledge
or consent, for he does not desire nOt0riety
in that direction. Fortunately he is in
position where his peculiar faculty is doubly
valuable, provided that the strange power
continues to assist him at the right time.

BRIEF MENTION.-fOung Nichols, who
stands charged with breach of trust and
embezzlement, was before Judge Thomp-
son. Algiers. yesterday, on complaint Of Mr..
A. j. Redmond, tax collector, and commit.
ted for trial; bonds $1,000. The amount Of
funds alleged to have been embezzled is
only little over $500, but accused persists
in stating that he can prove himself guilt
less. However the tax collectors accounts
are decidedly against Nichols.
The subject of rain water is still an I'M
portant point for discussion. A jolly sort
Of person Yesterday asked Commander
Kelle. of the monitor Canonicus, now lying
in the river off the head of Canal street,
how he was of for the liquid. Said the
commander: "Well, as far as myself. the
vessel. and the crew are concerned, don't
care if it doesn't rain this year, as the river
furnishes all the water we need; but l
would like to see a good square rain tumble
The absence of rain water has caused
