A NTardi.Grns Mia

Nearly a thousand dollars worth of
New Orleans Mardi- Gras excursion
tickets have already been sold. It is
asserted that the Mystic Crewe of the
Crescent City will certainly partici-
pate, and with their usual grandeur. in
the festivities of the occasion. If we
cannot have a Mardi- Gras exhibition
at home, it is some consolation to
know that it will not cost much to 90
where there will be one. In former
years we annually sent about 40 Oyisi.
tors to the New Orleans carnival at .
cost IN railroad tickets of some $1,000
and OF other expenses about 100000
Of late years, emitting the present
one, this money has been expended in
the home circle, and a large amount
added thereto by our myriads of visi-
tors. We will be something out this
year, both in fun and cash, by letting
the Mardi-Gras lapse. However, some
claim that we are now only a cross
roads sort of place, anyway.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-The delight
full Shakspearean comedy of As You
Like 1t was presented at the Memphis
Theater last night by Fanny Daven-
port and the st. Louis Olympic sup
porting company. The attendance

satisfied with the performance. 1t

by Miss Davenport at the same thea

bust and less Symmetrical in form since

Three P~icknonI.efs.

Three small pickpockets named
John Lameyand John Waters (white),
and Archie Tindall (black), are under
arrest for picking the pocket of Mrs.
f. f, Hoist two days ago, at a house
on Madison street, near Main. The
rascals made a haul of $40 in money
and a lot of papers. They spent the
money in gambling at the wheel of
fortune. Officers McCune and Pryde
captured the youthful villains and re-.
covered the papers this morning. In
relating the incidents connected with
the thievery, Waters, who is scarcely
ten years old, disclosed a d%epravity
OF the most surprising nature.

A New Departure.

Shipping agents here are in negotia-
ton for the introduction of sea-going
vessels into our harbor, to load cotton
and oil cake and convey it without
breaking bulk, direct to Fall River,
Mass, or Liverpool, England. The
prospects favor this new departure,
and the only checking influence is that
of a fear Of a proper depth being main
tanned in the Mississippi river from
here to New Orleans. A brig or a
bark loaded, to fourteen feet, a safe
depth, would carry from here nearly
5000 bales of cotton. The entire cost
of tOwage from New Orleans and re-
turn would hardly ex~ceed.$20O0, in
Guiding the expense of loading, and it
is estimated that at least $4,000 would
be left to such a vessel as freight for
the ocean part of the voyage, c%alcula-
ting at the present rate ofsay 474d per
hundred pounds through to Liverpool
The proposed plan is to tow the sail
vessel by n of the Mississippi Valley
transportation Barge Lines powerful
tow-boats both up and down the river
In these days when steamships have
so largely monopolized the ocean car
rying trade, and when sail vessels are
forced to lay idle, often for many weeks
before being able to secure a cargo, it
will Doubtless prove a beneficial meas
ure both for the ship owner and the
freight shipper if the proposed plan
can be made a success, and there is no
reason why it cannot.
In this connection it may be well to
inform the Chicago Times and other
papers, and the public at the same
time, that the Mississippi Valley
Transportation Barge Line carried
South from st. Louis during the past
year nearly 5000, 900 bushels of bulk
grain, all consigned to Europe and a
market. This business has shown a
gradual and constant increase ever
since the South Pass and Eads' lefty
passage from the river to the Gulf be-
came a practical and common route.
To use the precise words of Captain
James Good, the intelligent agent
here, Eads' %ietties have made us"
meaning thereby that the business of
his line had been increased and rem
dered profitable by this public i'm
prOvement,
b. 1t was but recently that the freight
rate on cotton through by a single bill
of lading, and but one transfer of
cargo, was arranged at AID, or about
20 cents per 100 pounds. Within a
few days inland railroads leading east !
ward, finding that shipments south
doomed up to an immense extent, be-
came alarmed and reduced rates to
point with those offered by the barge
line. Now the latter contemplate the
new departure IS herein explained,
and still lower freight rates to ocean
abroad will be offered. The
carrying trade of the Mississippi river
and the gulf grows, and all because
increased facilities and cheaper freight
can be offered, through the success of
Eads' jetties and an improved chan
mel from the river to the sea.

A Family of Cooks.
Cincinnati American Hotel Review

Cincinnati American Hotel Rcyiew.l
About the year 1854 there came TO
the United States from Switzerland a
remarkable family, twelve in all. seven
OF whom are now engaged in filling
the responsible position of chief cook
IN some Of our largest and best hotels.
Their name is Miyelary. Frank
Mivelary has been for several years
chief cook at the Louisville Hotel.
Louis is doing honors of the Peabody
Kitchen at Memphis, whilst Peter has
charge Of the kitchen at John Gas
ton 5 celebrated restaurant, also in the
Bluff City. Laurence is second cook
at the Louisville Hotel. Nicholas,
the eledest brother, has charge of the
English kitchen at Louisville. XIV.
Claude Ogier, who married into the
Mivelary family, has been chief cook
of the Maxwell House for several
years. August, another of the broth
ers, has just left the Waverly Hotel
at Louisville, and, at the earnest
solicitation Of the manager of the
st. Giles Hotel at Pulaski, Tenn.
now caters to the palates of the
guests who stop at that gem of South
ern hotels. August served his time
at the Louisville Hotel, andswas with
the late Micheal Kean in 1858. 1t is
tho without reason that the Mivelary
family are considered the greatest and
best artists now employed in American
hotels. With their individual powers
made more potent and lasting by the
indissoluble bonds of fraternity, each
instigates to the attainment offurther
excellence with the desire to excel
the others, it is not remarkable that
the Mivelary family should have out
run all their competitors, and to-day
bear the palm alone. Their success
may be cited as examples of the good
ly f%ruition of unity Of hearts and an
unselhsh devotion to fraternal ties
when observed between members of a
family.
