Mr.. Elds, of the jetties, seems to be
one of those curious people who are never
at ease unless they arc at war with some
body. The waters of the Mississippi,
some weeks ago, began to act unkindly
with the "open pathway to the sea" which
the eminent contractor is experimenting,
whereupon he few into print, abused the
army engineers, and in contradistinction
to them many civil engineers-just as
though the army gentlemen were not the
civilest people in the world. Newspapers
that have sought 10 publish the truth, as
it developed, about the great public work,
came in for share of Mr.. Eads lashing,
and the eminent engineer seemed deter
mined to leave upon the public mind the
impression that army and navy and
printers, and many other people were
combined in ON immense war movement
to ruin his financial and engineering
credit. Under cover of the smoke of his
letter-which letter, by the way, was
printed for private circulation-Mr. Rads
hurried off to Washington to lodge his
grievances with the members of the
Cabinet. The correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer has since been able to
throw this much light on the subject of
the great conspiracy;
There is much mystery about the move
ment against Eads, mentioned in these
dispatches recently. The Secretary Of
War says be has not seen the charges
mentioned, which is true; but further In
quiry developed the fact that, while the
engineer board has made no formal
charges, certain members Of it have per-
sonally recommended that the next pay
nient be suspended until more thorough
system Of sounding and measurements be
applied to thejetty, channel. What this
new system is can not be ascertained, but
the representations personally made by
members Of the engineer board 10 the
Secretary are TO the effect that the pres
ent system of survey conforms to the let
ter Of the law and is restricted TO the jetty
channel itself, whereas the spirit of the
law should be observed, and the channel
surveyed both above and below the ends
Of the jetties, to see whether new bars are
formed before another payment is made.
One Of the points made by Eads in his
complaint was that Major Howell gives
daily to the public the measurements Of
Southwest Pass. while the engineer officer
stationed at the jetties reports to his SUI
parior army officer instead Of to Eads
himself as be desires.
On the fifth of April, General Com
stock reported the following statement to
the Secretary Of War, and this probably
Is the key to all of Mr.. Eads troubles:
The channel Of twenty feet through the
mouth Of the South Pass, which, IN my

PARRAGUT, TOO.

A proposition seems to be seriously en-
tertained to erect monument in Tivoli
Circle to the memory of Robert E. Lee
late COMMANDMENTS Chief of the armies Of
the late Confederate States. Such a work
would be an ornament 70 the part of the
city where its erection is proposed, and
many loyal men, never in sympathy with
Lees mistaken cause, would consent to
its erection, on condition that like ar
rangements be made for monument to
Admiral Farragut at the head of Canal
street. There are special reasons why
New Orleans should honor the memory of
the eminent sailor that do not exist in the
case of Lee. 1t was here he spent his
schoolboy days, while his father was one
of Jaekson's trusted adjuncts in the de-
Tense Of New Orleans in 1912. Here is
the home of his choice in the days of his
ripper manhood, and the browning act Of
his noble life was the restoration of New
Orleans to the control of the Federal
Union.
II pacifcation and good feeling demand
monument to Lee, let not the memory
Of Americas greatest sailor and the re.
deemer of New Orleans from the enemies
Of the Union be forgotten.

The Less Of the ORA.

Captain E. B. Cryer, master Of the
steamboat Ora, burned on the twenty
third instant, publishes a circumstantial
account Of the catastrophe, by which il
appears the FIRE originated in the wood
rack on the port side and Immediately be-
came uncomfortable. To Mr.. John f.
Councillor, the pilot, who remainsd at bis
post in spite Of the flames surrounding
him till the boat was backed TO the shore,
he gives the credit Of saving the passen-
gers and crew, who would have lost their
lives but for his presence of mind and
nerve. Every one lost all but the cloth
ing he had on, and even the papers and
cash Of the boat were lost. The outfit Of
the Ora was themOst complete Of any boat
of her size, and there was not sufficient
insurance to replace it.

The grand jury having ventilated, and
with the aid Of the Superior Criminal
Court, about annihilated the Workhouse,
has turned its attention to the Parish
Prison.
The first point of objection is the ex-
pense the city is put to in supporting
prisoners who are confined there awaiting
the result Of their appeals to the Supreme
Court. Some steps, they say, should be
taken to secure the final decision. In re-
questing the attention Of the Attorney
General 70 this they are careful TO say
they do not complain, but they indorse
'Ignoramus" on any consideration for

New Orleans can lay claim to another
hero, James Vaughan Thomas, the reputed
organizer of the Sonora flibustering
scheme, is thus described in late inter
:, view by Gath, of the Cincinnati Enquirer:
He was born near the st. Lawrence
river, in Jefferson county New York, and
moved to Ohio while boy. Following
down the waters of the Ohio, Thomas set
tied at New Orleans, and was writer on
rthe Crescent and the Bee. The former
had also employed General William
Walker. and Thomas assisted Lnat I'M
pe4ilod man with the Minnie Schiller ex-
petition. He went to Callao on an italian
brig, and joined the Liberal revolution
there, and was second in command.

Application has been made by num-
Der of officers of the army and navy for

granted to a number of the applicants,

penses. To send commission to OBJ
serve and report upon the operations of
the hostile armies, as is sometimes done,
would require an act Of Congress and a

The grand jury of the United States are
investigating the subject of violations of
the steamboat laws by the lower coast
packets, complained of by the parish jury
of Plaquemines. When their report is
made it will be time to investigate the
case of the outrageous assault made on
Hon. Efingham Lawrence by an interested
steamboat man, whose action must be
considered almost confession of guilt.

G'washingt0n dispatch to the Chicago

Tribune says:
When Representative Gibson, of Louis
lana, WAS here, few days ago, he called
to see the President, in company with Mr..
Gaysrre, the we'll known Iiteratuer, of
Louisiana. Mr.. Gayarre, who is Con-
-sersalive in his political convictions, was
an.applicant for the position Of naval Off
Ger at New Orleans, and his appointment
RaS asked ofsthe President by Mr.. Glib
sod. The President said to Mr.. Gibson,
in effect, that he had gotten through with
the Louisiana Conservatives, having done
al for them that he could consistently,
ans all they had any right TO ask. As to
redistribution of the offices, he must
consider the claims of members of his
ownp party in preference to those of the
opposition.
This is unfortunate for Mr.. Gayarre;
but while Republicans were in power in
Louisiana a nice place was kept for the
worthy old gentleman. It only required
the accession to Office of his own political
friends to turn hin adrift in his old age.

We infer from the elaboration of the
President, as well as from the doctrine
quoted and that announced in his inau-
gural, that he means to stock all the de-
partments under his control with the most
honest, competent and popular incum-
bents. He will then recommend such
measures of foreign and domestic policy,
and appoint such ministers and consuls to
carry them out, as will satisfy the nation
that, as Republican doctrines have been
established and accepted, Republican
men can be found who will carry them
into honorable and profitable operation.

OF the bridegroom and the principal
guests. Frequently, however, the old
custom OF sitting-down breakfast is
adhered to, and il it is, the wedding
cake is placed in the center of the
table, and the bride and bridegroom
take their places opposite to it. In the
former plan. the cake is placed in the
center of the buffet. When breakfast
Is announced, the bride and bridegroom
lead the way % the dining-room. the
brides father follows with the bride
groom's mother, and seats himself next
To his daughter; the bridegroom's
father comes next with the brides
mother, and places her beside
the bridegroom. Very frequent
ly the bridesmaids all sit OPP
posite to the bride accompanied
by the gentlemen who have been de-
sired by the hostess to take them
down; the best man invariably taking
the chief bridesmaid. Speeches are
now contined-when there are any at
alto the health of the bride and bride
groom, proposed in few words-the
fewer the better--by the gentleman of
the highest rank present. The bride
groom In returning thanks sometimes
proposes the health of the bridesmaids,
for whom the best man briefly re-
spends. There should be no other
toasts, and even these may wen DO
dispensed with. The bride puts the
knife in the cake, which has been cut
before the drinking of the healths, and
it is expected that every one will eat a
small piece for "good luck"
When the bride comes into the draw
ing-room in her travelling dress to say
good-by, white satin slippers and rice
are thrown, the best man and brides
maids dispensing the former, while the
latter is showered upon the departing
pair exclusively by NATIONS. The fash
ion of sending cards and cake has gone
entirely out of style.
When widow marries, the wedding
differs in several points. There are
neither bridesmaids nor favors, and
the lady is debarred wearing white, 4
bridal veil or orange flowers; indeed,
she must wear "A bonnet, according to

however, marries a widower, there is
no difference made between the ar
engagements for her wedding and those

the new married pair, with tie more

them. The gifts designed for the lady
guests consist of SMALL bows OF white

spray of Odk-leaves and acUrns with
out ribbon, while the bridesmaids ia
yurs have some distinctive mark, such
as spray Of forget-me-hot. Their
bouquets are the 9tt OF the bride

M. Richet's experiments have de-
termined several very interesting facts
regarding digestion. Although the
stomach usually is empty four hours
after a meal is taken. the sensation OF
hunger is not felt until after the lapse
of six hours. Ordinary food, such as
meat and fatty or starchy substances.
require to be acted upon in the stomach
for three or four hours, and then the
entire mass disappears in about fifteen
minutes into the pylorus. Milk is
taken up after the lapse of from an
hour and a half to two hours; and the
absorption of water and alcohol is very
rapid.
