Cromer, an artist of Rochester, New York, came ail the way to New Orleans to see Mardl Gras. There is nothing of an unusual nature In the announcement ot such a visit the journey Is taken by many and accomplished In a few days. Mr. Cromer, however, left Gennessee, New York on Nov. 27, 1883, and the manner of bis coming was quite Interesting.

He left home in company wltb George wackerman, George H. Newell, and his yacht. Rambler. They went by rail and arrived at Pittsburg en Saturday, Iec. 1.

The yacht was launched there, her rigging set, the boat equipped and provisioned, and on the following Saturday the party set sail for the South. The first part of the voyage was down the Ohio River. Tbe water was very low, in ssuie places not more than two feet in depth. The lead line was kept going all the time, and the men suffered the farther Inconvenience of encountering head winds all the way. Mr.

Cromer started out In a skiff In search of a tow and fell out of the little boat. He was picked up by tbe Belle Prince, that craft then towing the Rambler for about 100 miles. Cincinnati was finally reached, and Mr. Cromer's companions, having had quite sufficient of navigation under difficulties, abandoned the trip. The weather was severely cold and there was Ice in the river.

Afraid of being frozen in, Mr. Cromer placed bis boat on board of tbe steamboat Golden Rule and chipped her to Memphis, hoping to clear the ice In this way and. meet his party there In readiness to proceed on the trip mapped out. At Memphis, ho ever. bis friends failed to appear, and Mr.

Cromer set sail wltb a single companion. This shipmate was discharged after a ran of about ten miles. The weather was still very cold, and Mr. Cromer's lonesome trip down was by no means pleasant. At Helena be wss froze in for a week, the steamboats ceasing their trips.

He started out again in the ice and ran down to Arkansas City, where be fell In with a trapper with a cargo of iron. The trapper served as company to YlcKBDUug ana nis iroin mtar goou Daiiasc. Thirty miles above Yiexsours tne tumbler went through the water literally cov ered with ice. He remained at Vicksburg tiro weeks, loitering arouna tne piaoe. dreading to endure iartaer nsracups xrom the cei l.

At Vicksburg Mr. Croner joined company with a Pittsburg young man, anxious to visit New or leans, out who had never seen a sailboat oerore. nea taere was no wina to fill the sails Mr. Croner assisted locomo tion by fastening the boat to some log floating down on tbe high wter. On Sunday, Feb.

17, tbe Rambler struck a snag and the logs plied up in front of the boat. Mr. Croner his ax. and the prospects for getting out of Imprisonment were slim but for the lucky Intervention of a cottonwood tree, a forked branch of which caught the bowsprit and pulled the boat clear. Tbe Rambler stopped at Fort Hudson, and jar.

oornoy vinteu tne aaaonai cemetery. He also stopped a short time at Baton Rouge and reached New Orleans, on Sunday, eo. 24, coming aoout ssoo mues to see tue splendid pageants of Rex and the organiza tions which aided him In presenting the grand pictures of tbe Carnival to the ad mirlne raze of tbe world. Mr. Croner knew nothing of the navigation of the Mississippi River and was guided tv information niesoa up as ne went aionc.

He stopped at night, but traveled in fogs by means of his compass. Besides being a sailor, he learned to cook and bake, and the the trip required constant labor and exer cise oi ingenuity. Tbe Rambler is 21 feet keel. 7 feet beam, 8H feet bold. 10 feet cabin, sloop rigged, carries 85 yards of canvass.

Is ellnker built, and has fourteen air chambers. She was built six years ago by Cross Bros of Canada, and won a number of races.

At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the noted desperado and hoodlum, John, alias Lotta Cain, whose record in the polios stations of the upper portion of the city Is well known, again attempted to run matters wltb a high hand. At No. e9Tehoupitoulas street Mr.

Henry Hemmerling keeps a saloon, and yesterday afternoon Cain entered, and as usual, bo came abusive and threatening. Mr. John Hemmerling, the bar tender, was undismayed at Cain's manner, although well aware of tne character of hit visitor. Cain waxed wroth at the evident eon tempt in which bis threats were held, and seizing a heavy water pitcher which was stsnding on the counter attempted to strike Mr. Hemmerling, but missed his aim.

The bartender stooped and taking a revolver from beneath the counter opened fire on the hoodlum. One shot took effect In the left side, one on the right side ot the head, and a third in the right shoulder. Cain was surprised, to say the least of It, and before be could recover Oilioers Faust and Kelly arrived and arrested both Hemmerling and Cain. The latter became very violent, and positively refused to be taken to the Charity Hospital. He waa raving, and it was finally found necessary to handcuff htm to prevent bis doing violence to otners.

xne cnarity wagon was sent for and Cain, still hand cuffed, waa placed therein ana conveyed to he Charity Hospital, where he was placed In bed. Boon afterward three women visited him. and after their departure Cain arose and left Institution, returning to the corner of Josephine and Tchoupitoulas streets. 8ooa afterward he again commenced creating a disturbance, and attacked every person that came, near him. He had effectually terrorized the nelghbornooa, wnen omeerj Lonergan and Cohen heard of the affair and proceeded to the spot.

Cain held a chair in bis hand and was swinging it around his bead when these two otlicers arrived. and watching their opportunity they sprang upon him, and after wresting the chair out of bis band clapped tbe nippers on bis wrists and again marched blm to jail. Cain was handcuffed and sent back to the Charity Hospital, where two officers were left to watch him. Dr. Jamison examined bis wounds and found that the one in the left side.

was severe, possibly dangerous. but tne others were mere nesn wounas. Not long since Cain was treated In ward No. 9 for a cut wound of the throat he having attemptea to oommic suiciae. ONLY A SAILOR.

He was sent to the Charity Hospital, where his wound, which Is about three Inches in length, was examined and found to be ot a serious character. The wounded man stated that he was fireman on the steamship Ongerette, and on Tuesday night he imbibed somewhat freely, much so that he got drunk.

The Detrelc Regtaasss Welcossed to their Hsaaes Tha BaltlaMr ReciaaaaS Oaw they wera Treated la Raw Or Speaking of the reception of the Detroit Infantry at their home, on their return from tbe Carnival at New Orleans, the. Detroit Free Press 01 March says announced that breakfast was ready, and as though quite hungry, the returned travelers and their friends tooa seats, and were soon hard at work discussing oysters In several forms, cold meats, hot eofiee, hot roils, witu various toothsome accessories. At this iuncture Lieut. Col.

Robinson. Mai or Goebel, Major Book, Adjt. Halght, 8ergttant Major Loose ana tne eommissionea omoers ot the Light Guard, the National Guard, the Scott Guard, the Montgomery Rifles, the City Greys ana tne Detroit cadets, arrived and joined Tn the repast, which was of a double nature. There was food for the stomach and for the ear, for the travelers couldn't talk fast enough to express their appreciation of she batanitalltv ot the New Orleans people, and, in tact, of all the peo ple iney met aunng tneir essence, it was most amusing, too, to see the frantic efforts made by the boys to answer half a dozen questions at once, as. for Instance, one of the soldiers was surrounded by a group of five friends, ana he was asked: "How's New Orleans hospitality Did the Con ilnental Guard get even What kind of a time did you have 1" How much did the trip coet you What did tbe Continentals do for ouf" and "How did you enjoy yourselves in as many seconds as tnere sre questions.

Even I Hospitality What kind of timet What old the Continentals do said the soldier, and taking a seat as though powerless to express himself, be recovered and said We don't know the meaning of tne term nospicuity, com area witn Mew Orleans people in general, and tbe Continentals In particular. There wasn't an oversight or mistake in their work. Our boat was one of the best and largest on tbe river, and with two men in a stateroom each man had a berth to himself. The saloons and staterooms were kept scrupulously clean and each morning large baskets full of bananas and oranges were sent to us. We could get up when we wanted to and we always found hot coffee, rolls and the fruit awaiting us.

Then we could take our smoke and when we got ready to go out to ree tbe city there were always two or three New Orleans soldiers ready to act as escorts. Getting out on the streets, we couldn't express a desire to see any building, place or person but tbat one wish was gratified. Carriages, meals we took our meals wherever, in our strolls about the city, we happened to be were, or would have been, had we permitted it, free; and in fact It was that way all through. Our money seemed no good anywhere. Oh, well, I can't tell you a quarter, only if you'll ask me what the Continentals didn't do, I'll try to think up something.

Theatres, tbe races, the cock pits, the balls, receptions, Querades and dinner parties were at gratis, from the time of our ar our diflp mixture, and when we left rival until onr "tals came as escorts several of tbe Con tin tiig us well on to the Tennesee line thug sv. cur way tome."

The escort took the right of the line and the body proceeded down Charles street to Madison, to Howard, to the armory. Notwithstanding the early hour and cold there was quite a crowd on the streets, and the windows along tbe route were filled with smiling faces. The band played all the route through, and seemed to have iin roved in wind by its continuous playing the Southern cities. Before dismissal at the Armory Gen. Stewart Brown addressed the regiment, and was vociferously applauded as he referred to the various good things wbicb characterised the trip.

He complimented the men on their soldiery bearing and gentlemanly conduct. Tbe arrangements of Quartermaster Miller were referred to as perfect, and there had been no hitch in anything connected with that department. The great Pladmont Air Line between the North and South, over wbioh the regiment had traveled, was highly commended, and the attention of Its dicers warmly praised. Mr. R.

v.

Transportation for him was telegraphed back. As the rear guard of the 6th, Mr. Whalen attrracted not a little attention as he progressed toward Baltimore.
