Messrs. Courier d McNair.


We take pleasure in publishing the
following complimentary notice from
the New Orleans Democrat, relative to
those popular 'insuranc men and clever
townsmen:
Insurance on the State house ut Baton
Rouge has been effected, TO cover the
term of seven months, during which the
process Of construction is expected TO
continue, AT the end OF that time the
work will be completed and the build
ing ready for occupation in all its parts
And the arrangement, upon permanent
basis, can then be entered into. Mean
while the insurance to which we refer
been effected, amounting in all to $780,
900, and distributed among New Orleans
companies, as follows: Factors d Ira
ders', $50, 900; Mechanics IL Traders,
$50, 900 Sun, $50, 600 Crescent, SIG, 900;
N. o. Insurance Co., SIS, 900; Teutonia,
$1,000; Home $1,000; Hibernia, $1,000.
The charge usual in cases of fc0nstructiOn
insurance IS Il per cent, but Messrs.
Courier d McNair, of Baton Rouge, to
whom was contided the management Of
this transaction, succeeded in placing
the whole insurance Mt auniform rate of
per cent These gentlemen deserve a
compliment upon the prompt and
able manner in which they have conduc.
ted the business entrusted to their care.
The State-House is now insured in our
soundest and most reliable companies,
and at rate which is certainly satisfac-
tory. AT the termination of the period
contemplated in the present insurance,
the building will be insured upon the
regular plan, aud, presumably, the pref
erence will be give nto those companies
which have manifested 80 lberala a dispo-
sition toward the State.

Terrebonne Times: Mr.. Valfroy Ber-
geron informs us that on his place in
Chacahoula, last week, 136 loads of cane
made 20 hRds. of sugar; this is about 81
loads to the hid, which is an extraor-
binary yield. The cane was ground in o
very small mill, and while we do not
wish to draw ihferences, we should like
to hear Of large mill that can make as
good showing.

Lake Providence Herald. The cotton
crop of this parish, although by DO means
large, is regarded by well informed
planters as a good one, both as quantity
and quality. There has not been bet
terseason for many years in gathering
the crop, and the consequence is that it
has been handled with the utmost care,
and will, if our people can possibly hold
it, bring good price.

Washington Argus: In our rambles
Wednesday, We sauntered aboard the
steamer Yazoo, where we were surprised
to meet the once famous prize fighter
Mike MCCoOle. His name and exploits
have been familiar to as from childhood,
and his unusually fine physique seems to
warrant the reputation he, once enjoyed
of being one of the hardest 'hitters" of
his day. He appears somewhat broken
from the hard nsascs of bis former pro-
fession.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

The North American ReUieao for December is good number. Perhaps the most import ant and opportune article is that by the Hon. John A. Kasson, entitl d ''The Monroe Doc Urine in 1884," Then follows the discussion of the Death Penalty, conducted by the Rev. Dr. Cheever, Judge Samuel Hand and Wen dell Phillips. The policy of Mr. Gladstone's government toward Ireland is strenuously de- tended by Mir. H. O. Arnold Forster, son ot the chief secretary for Ireland. This paper is confessedly an appeal to the judgment and the sympathy of Americans in the struggle now going on across the Atlantic, and is 8 graceful, practical admission that British statesmen are not indifferent to the enlight- ened public opinion of the United States. Four physicians and surgeons of the first rank, namely. Drs. W. A. Hammond, John Ashhurst, jr., J. Marion Sims and John T. Hodgen, review the history of President Gar fields case. Finally the Hon. David A. Wells treats of reform in federal taxation.

to few days ago his body had
not been recovered. Every morn

widow of the drowned man comes
and seats herself on the beach

with eyes red with weeping. 1t
is vain that her friends try to dis
suade her from this painful prac-
tice.

ken him from me, and The sea
must bring him back to me-"
They began to fear at last that
the woman would lose her reason,
and a distant relative was APP
pointed to bring her round to
thoughts Of resignation.
"Coms, come, Henrietta" said
he, you must give a reason for
this"

Mrs. Vanderbilt Brooch

Almost simultaneously with the
recovery of the brooch of Lady
Burdett Coutts- Bartlett, which
she lost at the Queens reception,
Mrs. VIM. III. Vanderbilt has re-
covered brooch lost at Saratoga
five years ago. Daniel O'Reilly,
a young man employed by for
list, was pushing and.chrt near
Mr.. Vanderbilt's residence on Tu-
esday, when he espied an ash
cart with five old trunks in it.
Wanting trunk for his own use,
he paid fifty cents for one with the
hasp broken. After he had gone
some distance he opened the trunk
thinking the hasp was inside.
Instead of that he found a small
package raped in tissue paper.
Inside was a roll of cotton envel-
oping brooch, which he conclud-
ed to contain diamonds, from
their sp arkle. He went to his en-
ployer, who discovered on the
trunk the name of w. III. Wander
bilt, and the VARIABLE bauble was

is composed of gold background
with ornamental irregular edges,
about an inch and half long and
over an inch wide. Around this
is set eight small diamonds. In
the center is large ndiamond.
Beyond the circle of eight dia-
monds are set glittering multi
tude of yet smaller diamonds.
O'Reilly counted eighty, and he
thinks he missed ten or dozen of
them, because they were so thick
ly clustered. There were seven
pendants, each of which support
ed two diamonds. Mrs. Wander
bilt says she does not know the
exact value, but that the brooch is
not worth $4,000. Young O'Rsil-
ly, the lucky finder, says that he
does not expect any reward for
himself, but hopes that the cir
cumstance might lead to his far

have been in that old trunk stow
