NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. about .
O'Clock yesterday morning a train with col
ored exeursionists arrived at the Gouldsboro
depot at Gretna from Baton Rouge A large
number OF people were on the streets, owing
to an alarm Of fire. Many colored men and
women were near the depot, awaiting the
train, which should have arrived at Il d m.
AS the train neared the depot one OF the ex-
cursionists in attempting to jump Off fell to
the ground Some unknown person cried,
Look at the black devil, . whereupon the
negro drew pistol and fired four or five
shots, one Of the bullets piercing the nose of
white man named William Miller, a broth
er Of one Of the Gretna police, and lodging
in the back Of his neck.
The Shooting became General.
The shooting now became general, some
400 or 500 shots being fired in less than fifteen
minutes A terrible panic prevailed. Men,
women and children ran in all directions,
screaming with fear, dropping their lunch
baskets and losing their hats, shoes, etc Ed

The foregoing account of the afrray Is from

A STATEMENT,

The undersigned desires torespect-
fully present to the general public
that he came here as q professional
aeronaut, under contract to Messrs.
Pratt and Abbott, and for the pur-
pose of making balloon ascensions
and parachute jumps. He has
faithfully cndeavored to carry out
his portion of the contract, and by
the successful ascension made on
Saturday, April 9th, from Punch
bowl, passing over Honolulu in full
sight of all and landing on the outer
reef, claims that he has proved his
ability and Willingness to perform
the dangerous duties, and that the
charge of fraud or humbug cannot
he laid to him.
Messrs. Pratt and Abbott made
but one attempt TO forward his in
tercsts in management and that was
on the memorable occasion at ka-
piolani Park, the monies then re-
ceived being taken by the parties
named and no accounting ever yet
being made to him. Since then
Messrs. Pratt and Abbott have en-
gagged in business for themselves
and allowed the undersigned to man
age himself. BY this act of theirs
the undersigned deems the original
contract broken and now declares
that he has no further connection in
business with Messrs. Pratt and
Abbott, that they are in no way au.
tholzed to make arrangements for
him IN any of his professional busi-
ness, nor are they entitled to any
share or profit in any of his future
ascensons or parachute jumps.

The ''Post' is of opinion that "it
fine Java and Sumatra coffee is now
expensive, comparatively speaking,
and difficult to obtain, it is because
the antiquated system of compul-
sorry cultivation in vogue in the ISL
ands, the expense entuilcd hy method
of storage, and the army of officials
required to superintcpd the indus
try combine TO make it so. This is
the more to be regretted rs there is
good reason TO believe that the fall
ing off in the consumption of coffee,
in England especially, is due rathor
to the fact that really good and well
prepared coffee is 80 rarely to be
had, than to any lack of apprecia
ton on the part of Englishmen of
the merits of the genuine berry.
Somehow few people in this country
can discriminate between ordinary
and inferior qualities of tea, while
the coarsest palates seem readily to
distinguish good from bad coffee,
and will, therefore, have none of
it,
The Post thinks that lit is a
pity that coffee is not more generally
consumed, for it is an undoubted
fact that those who are habitual
coffee drinkers very seldom care for
spirits. Indeed, it has been pointed
out that in those parts of South
America where coffee is the recog-
nised beverage drunkenness is ex-
tremely rare, and even emigrants
who have brought with them a love
of alcohol abandon it and take to
coffee in preference, owing to its
stimulating effect upon the brain
and nerve centres. Still, in spite OF
our insular preference for tea, the
number of people who appreciate
really good coffee is by no means
insignificant here, and on theil
account it is to be hoped that the
attempt of the Dutch Government
to prevent the further decay of its
East Indian plantations may prove
as successful as the Hollander.

COFFEE,

The London ''POst" of March 4th
has an instructive article on coffee.
1t would appear that the decline in
the supply of the article from the
Dutch East Indies is earnestly en-
gaging the attention of the Dutch
Government, with the view of check
ing it if possible. Relative to this
matter the Post" says:-
"For some years past there has
been great falling off in the quality
and quantity of the coffee produced
in the Dutch East Indies, where the
berry is cultivated; and latterly the
decline has h. cu,nc 50 serious that
Commission has been appointed,
under the presidency of NJ. Came,
to consider the decadence of the
Government plantations in Java and
Sumatra, and suggest means for i'm
proving them. principal supply
of coffee, as most people are aware,
is derived, not from the islands of
the Eastern Archipelago, held by
Holland, but from Brazil, which, in
deed, grows nearly as much as all
other coffee-growing countries com
bined. But the quality Of that
produced everywhere in the New
World is greatly inferior TO the
growth of the East; and since gen.
uine Mocha is almost unobtainable
nowadays, and the coffee gardens
of Ceylon are being grubbed up to
make room for the more, profitable
tea plantations, it is to Java and
Sumatra that coffee drinkers must
look in the future for a supply OF
really good beans at a reasonable
price, and these, as every house
holder has no doubt discovered,
have been dearer and more and
more difficult to obtain in the last
two or three years. Allowing for
the effects OF the disease which has
attacked the coffee shrub in many
parts of the East, where it has long
been successfully grown, it is still
difficult 10 account for the extraor-
dinary decadence of the Dutch
plantations, bearing in mind the
peculiar conditions under whicl
coffee culture is carried on in hotl
Java and Numatra. 1t is not, as II
any other part Of the world, an in
