The .JOsie Harry.

The Des Arc Citizen of the 22nd,
says: AS the "blue ribbon steamer
Josie Harry rounded the bend below
town last Monday morning, she was
greeted with peal after peal of anvil
artillery, and enthusiastic cheers from
the shore by a large crowd of both
white and black, that had assembled
to witness her landing. Her CARO-
made not being on board, she respond
ed with her musical whistle, and as
she came into port her really excellent
band %dlscoursed sweet music to ap.
preciatiye ears. Coming SO soon after
the county site election, it might have
been considered as a demonstration Of
victory on the part of our citizens,
but it was simply intended as an evil
dence of their appreciation of the
noble craft, and her popular captain,
the genial Milt Harry. The anvil
chorus" was played by the colored
boys oftown, who entered into the
spirit Of the thing with their usual
vim and enthusiasm. Take it all in
all, 1t was an occasion that will long be
remembered as after the 22nd of this
month, the Josie will lay up at Au-
gusta until July 18th, when she will
resume her place in the river.

Anisputc Over a Rig Fec.

rather interesting suit in equity was filed yes.
tcrday by General S. s. Henkle, as counsel for
Richard II. Porter, of Louisville, KY, against Ste
phen A. White, of New York City, Mr.. Porter was
employed by the legal representatives of three
Americans named standish, Parsons and Conrow
who were killed by the Mexican authorities in 1856
to prosecute claims against theNexican government
before the mixed commission he to receive for his
services onehalf tho award made. In the year 1876
the commission made awards in the three cases
aggrcgating si50,000,
1t appears that for money loaned and services
rendered Porter assigned his interest In the Stan
dish and Parsons claims to White. Meantime
claims were fled with the Secretary Of State against
the funds, and the Secretary re fused TO dsbure
the money until they were disposed Of At this
juncture White was given power of attorney TO
collect the Conrow claim, as II Is alleged he had
influence with the Secretary. The Secretary hay
ing decided that the claimants mentioned had no
lien on the funds, has agreed to pay the same
upon the joint receipt of Messrs Porter and White
The bill sets forth that White refuses TO make an
equitable adjustment, and falsely claims to have
purchased the Conrow claim from one Musser.
Porter now prnys for an account and that, upon
payment ofwhat may be found to be due to White,
The latter shall be required to reassign to him
the Parsons and StHndish claims,

Ford. opera uouse-w,dow ncdo,t.

1t Is somewhat singular that every humorist so
soon as he acquires special reputation for bril-
linncy Is either scduced by his own ambition or by
the importantly Of some actor into writing play !;
and in almost every instance the play, as u dra-
matte effort Is failure. II may he redeemed from
oblivion by the talents of the author but generally
the play dies an early death. In the case of
widow Bedott," the play can hardly be called
such. II was presented here last season, and the
profane plGygoer called her Widow B. some
thing else.
Last night however n good audience was in at-
tendance at the Opera House. most of them drawn
thither by desire to again welcome Mr.. G. b.
Bishop who Is so pleasantly remembered for his
former excellent acting. His greeting was hearty
aud sincere, and as the play went on 1t was found
that he was the attraction. He has made
the part n broad farce, and he captured
the, audience from the first. His dressing and
makeup were complete and in his volubility of
utterance he surpassed the most improved talking
machine lie kept the audience in roar of
laughter whenever he was on the stage, and car
ried the piece by his genuine talents as n come
