Local Intelligence. Rather. too Dei.ic.vtk.— Recently, not many days ago, two women visited one of tbe Slate Assessor's offices to make complaint that a piece of their property had been assessed too high. The handsome gentleman in charge of the office, always urbane and polite, attended to their wants instanter, directing tLrtn to tbe clerk Laving charge ot that particular department. Tbe applicants opened tbeir eye? in great disgust, exclaiming, "What, that nigger!" As there was no ether method, they were compelled to call on tbe clerk, who politely, quickly and knowingly gave the necessary blanks, requesting tbe precise to sign tbeir names to the documents.

They suddenly became confused, and hesitated, but they finally were compelled to make tbe declaration that they could not write. This placed the despised nigger" a dot or two above tbe ainsb visitors. They forgot that knowledge is power, and tbe want of jt a-sadstate of affairs. On thi. Fair Groixw fire company No.

14 does not bring out half tbe city to-dav in a regular tidal wave of humanity. then no organization need make an effort. This company has prepared an extraordinary programme, such a one as should attract ail classes of people who are inclined to relieve themselves in out-door exercises. Eagle No. 7 will trot out its swift steed.

Dusty Hob, expecting to win a thousand dollars from Vigilant No. 3, whose fleet footed horse Lion hopes to do the same thing. This contest'will excite much interest, as these two animals have scored uncommon good time. The Eagles will also endeavor to flyaway with another thousand dollars, which the boys of Protector No. 2 wager on their ability to run a race as if to a fire, with hand engine, twenty-two members, aud throw water.

Other sports will be indulged in sufficiently attractive to draw out a large attendance. The clerk of the weather bus been propitiated with a burnt offering to bring him to terms. The city furnishes one or two ambulances for the purpose of conveying unfortunate persons to the Charity Hospital. These vehicles arc about as uncomfortable and hard as can well be, not having so much as a pillow or cushion for a wounded or sick man to rest his head on. As these wagons are in constant demand, would it not be wise and humane to expend eight dollars tog a mattress and one or two dollars for moss pillows For the sake of our city's reputation let this be done.

Last Thursday a wounded man was taken from the first precinct stationhouse to go to the hospital. He was so miserable that he could not assist himself or raise an arm. He was placed on the hare floor and jolted out to a free ward, and if he survived the trip his constitution might be rated as a strong one. A cushion and a mattress in that ambulance would not have elicited the following remark from a stranger: "What inhumanity!" Only Five J. H.

Barnetthorse stealing, bis; same, carrying a concealed weapon; same, forgery; same, larceny. If that man's chances are not good for the Penitentiary, then he should have a card tor tbe Ticket Convention as a partial punishment. Captain Cain recovered the horse stolen from Mobile, and the owner rejoices in the possession of his property. Mr. Bonham's horse and buggy are not found, and probably will not be.

Barnett seems to be a regular, but persists in asserting his innocence. Mat Thompson, a bullet-headed bummer of pilfering habits, retires to the Workhouse as a vagrant under tbe new city vagrant ordinance. Although beardless, he carried a rusty razor. Heavy J. Bird aud William Davis flew away with fifty pounds of lead pipe, property of Davis Jackson.

For this lritie pick-up they must answer before twelve jurors, at the request of Recorder Houghton, who is hard on heavy cases of larceny. By tins means a junk shop lost a few illicit dollars. Escapes. V. ithin the space of a few montns several persons have been arrested in this as escaped convicts from the State Penitentiary.

How is it that tbe lessees. a short time ago, published a card stating that no prisoner had escaped from that institution under tlieir rule No. new vagrant ordinance for this city has been promulgated and is at present in full force, ami the police are now acting on it. Lawyers think it is without flaw, eo recorders may commit persons under it, uever fearing their action unwarrantable. Sneak thieves, picayune gamblers aud their ropers-in must look sharp or they will find healthful amusement in the Workhouse, brus ing stubborn rocks instead of bruising ruoralit.

and decency. Let those who are liable to arres. a sudden departure or go to work some honorable occupation. Dryades stiee, can now be purged to a small degree, and when that ia done the Workhouse will increase the number of its industrious if not respectable inhabitants. More lada Protector bo.

2, Sixth District, send us a cordial invitation to accomnamr a pleasaiu and sensible excursion Grand Isle on the twenty-sixth instant. This pany is becoming quite tor its prowess and energy, although it has had a steamer only a-few months, and it has confidence its abilities. Mechanics No. 6 will soon work it, war out of town, inaugurating a new departure by visiting Natchez, which old town is no longer under the hills. The movement is not entirely popular with tbe members.

These excursions will be among tbe last by firemgn this season. During the summer we have availed ourselves of as many invitations as business would permit, and now express ourselves as having been the recipients of undeserved attention and compliments. The present summer has had its chief claims for the reporter in excursions with tiro companies, and in the top of his bald head are laid away thousands of pleas ant reminiscences which he will cherish as long as the breath of life continues to curl his short hair. Killed by a Friday, while the steamboat Bart Able was near Bonnet Carre, a spar fell, striking Henry Carter, the mate, killing him instantly, and injnring four others. Mr.

Carter's body was brought to this city. Officer Byrnes, iu making his rounds at 2:45 yesterday morning, discovered smoke issuing from the keyhole of Mr. Moreres' grocery corner, No. 70 St. Phillip street.

Making a close examination, after awakening the propietor, he found that a wick saturated with coal oil had been pushed through the keyhole, and that coal oil had been poured over the wood work. A burned match was near the wick. The The river bunk just above Carrollton continues to slide, and has given way to the extent ot one hundred and fifty feet, aud still caving. As yet the break is not so deop as to permit water to pass through. The place requires immediate attention.

Weary of Life's lady, whose name it is useless to publish, yesterday attempted to end her days by jumping into the river head of Grange street, while laboring under a fit of extreme sadness. Officer Sherman succeeded iu rescuing her. when some of her friends took charge of her. The history is a sorrowful one, but can not be given to our readers just at present. The Cave at the French.

A perrfftia! inspection of the sinking levee opposite the Red Store shows that the river is making slow, though constant inroads under the levee opposite the French market. Every few days a new fissure is discovered by observing tbe moisture of the sand in the cracks that open all along the break. Yesterday persons 'were engaged in boring all along the sinking space, with a view to ascertain- in what direction the rh er is washing out tbo quicksands, in order to apply the remedy where needed. It is thought that the new market is in danger. Board of a meeting of the Board of Health Friday night, reports of the sanitary inspectors for the month of July were considered.

The recommendations in the reports were generally adopted. A resolution predicated on tbe suggestions of Dr. Albers was adopted, that all the streets and gutters of the city should be thoroughly washed in the night time once iu twenty-four hours, and an address to the City Council was adopted accordingly. On motion of Mr. Pierce, seconded by Dr.

Avila, a resolution was adopted recommending aud urging the Board of Metropolitan Police to promote to the rank of corporals all the men belonging to the police force who have been assigned to duty in connection with the Board ot Health, and that they be continued on duty in that connection. The communication of Doctor Ames, setting forth that the streets and drains in the Fifth District are greatly clogged by the growth of grass and weeds, preventing a proper drainage of that district, was referred to Mr. Coekrem, the Commissioner of Improvements. The communication of E. J.

Forstall, complaining of injury done his premises, No. 268 Royal street, by the vault on the adjoining property, belonging to tbe Mineral Water Factory being considered, tbe board instructed the president to return the same, with the endorsement that there was no power in the Board of Health to give him the relief he asks. A petition was received from sundry citizens. asking the hoard to rescind its action heretofore taken respecting the curing of green hides in the centra) portion of the city, declaring the same a nuisance, and particularly forbidding the same by Messrs. B.

L. Manu Withered Co. and Hay Sc Mehle. After considerable debate on this subject, the board, by a unanimous vote, resolved to adhere to its former action. A resolution was adopted asking the Board of Metropolitan Police for an additional policeman to be assigned to the Board of Health.

It is a rule of the board that the Sanitary Inspector of the Second District shall every day ascertain from the official records if any deaths have occurred in the city from fever or contagion, and report thereon daily. In stating this rule, the president reported that there was not a solitary death from fever on Thursday last. special report from Dr. J. S.

Clark, Sanitary Inspector of the First District, recommending the abatement of sundry nuisances, was received, and the abatements ordered. Informally, the subject of disinfecting the streets and gutters with carbolic acid was discussed, and it was generally agreed that there no necessity for it as long as the daily rains continued, which prevented stagnation, and the generation of noxious gases and odors. As soon as the weather becomes dry, it is understood this method of disinfection will be immediately put into practice. The theory of Dr. Von Petteukofer, of Munich, now so well approved and vindicated by experience in that place, that typhoid fevers are developed only as the waters sink below a given distance from the surface of the ground, has led the board to institute a series of examinations on the subject.

These examinations reveal the fact that the rise or fall of the water in the river has uot this season perceptibly a flee ted the amount of water in the soil. The river is now about twelve feet below high water mark, but in the Fifth District of the city (Algiers), the water in the wells, on the first instant, stood at an average of two fleet five inches below tbe surface. In tbe Sixth District the water in the wells stood at an average of about two feet three inches. The drainage by the river is not perceptible, and corseqnently the impurities communicated to the water in the soil by sinks aud vaults and other causes are not destroyed by the river drainage, as is generally supposed. Fires and A few minutes be fore one o'clock yesterday morning fire was discovered in the barroom of John Selvar, corner of Robin and Peters streets.

There were evident signs that the fire was the work of malice, as coal oil had been poured on tbe floor behind tbe counter. Tbe upper floors were occupied by families, and the building was owned by George Brannon. The house was nearly destroyed. A few minutes before the above occurrence an alarm was sent from the box corner of Bienville and Old Levee streets, by some evil disposed person, as there was no lire. When the hose carriage of Eagle No.

7 was returning home an axlo broke, and the man who turned in that false alarm was spoken of in had terms. At half past two o'clock, yesterday rnonq ing, a fire broke put iu the dwelling of Mr Burke, in the rear of the First District, totally destroying the building. Loss about $1500.

One member of the Council, Mr. H. Heuchert. voted against the improvement, for which he will be remembered by the thirsty and dirty. Josephine This criminal, convicted of a heinous crime in the Criminal Court, was yesterday released on bonds, as a motion for a new trial has been made through some law technicality.

No sooner released from prison than she flaunted out in. her regular bad habits, and making herself a nuisance to all her neighbors. It became necessary to arrest her at her den on Gasquet street, sbe having attracted a mob of about two thousand persons by her outrageous conduct. She defied everything and everybody, and when two policemen attempted to arrest her they found themselves incompetent, as she threatened their lives aud assailed- them with a flatiron. Other officers were called and, only after considerable trouble, she was taken prisoner.

Before leaving, she asked to take an infant with her. Her terrible tongue broke loose on the road to the lockup, uttering the vilest language plain English commands. In the eell she raved like a lunatic, cursing worse than a trooper. She laid the infant in a bunk, aud then gave further vent to her anger. As the child does not Itelong to her, it was deemed proper to take the poor thing away, but sbe would not give it up voluntarily.

Captain Schreiber finally entered the ceil and took it, giving it in charge of a responsible person, at the suggestion of Recorder Houghtop. No sooner was the unfortunate baby secured than Josephine made the air of even that celebrated calaboose look blue with her imprecations. It is somewhat singular that a woman such as she is can find friends who will assist her, even after an impartial jury has declared her guilty. It is time her career of crime found an ending. The history of this white bnbe is not very clear, and out of the several different versions little is to be gleaned.

Josephine says that it was left at her door in a cigar box, when it was not more than ten days old, but it is probable the mother was inside tbe building when the waif first breathed the breath of life. If that is the ease, the mother will to-day feel somewhat excited when she reads this. Josephine took it to prison with her, hoping that it would assist her in obtaining a release. She was foiled quite systematically. Criminal George Gordon, convicted of throwing a rock at some boys who annoyed him, and accidentally hitting a boy named Thomas Reagan, on the twenty-fifth of July, live dollars or one day Parish Prison.

John Williams, convicted of stealing a pair of shoes on the twentieth of July, from Mrs. Catherine GaSthrock, was sentenced to one month in the Parish Prison. Joseph Dupont, charged with having, ou the third of July, assaulted Jean Dani, was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. Ann Riddle, charged with having, on the twenty-eighth of July, assaulted John Jones, pleaded not guilty, and was released on bonds. M.

Joseph Mallet, appointed a deputy sheriff by Sheriff J. A. Masicot, has been duly sworn in. The counsel for Josephine Ray, convicted of a beastly assault on a child named Mary Ann Fields, has moved for a new trial. Granted.

Maggie Hanley, also convicted of the same crime, has written a letter to Judge Abell, denying that she had instructed her counsel to apply for a new trial, and if he had done so, asked that the mption bo withdrawn. A A loose brick, obeying tbo everlasting law of gravitation, dropped from a new building on Common street, last evening, and before it reached earth struck Aleck Washington's level head. In an instant tbe brick was converted into hats, and down went Mr, Washington, pretty well crazed by the blow. A Last evening a bombshell went on a spree iu Leed's foundry, on Delord street, flying into many pieces, one of which struck Hugh Lanagan's left arm, shattering it badly. Nothing further of an official nature has been received from Admiral Rogers, although full advices are expected by the last of the month.

It seems to he the impression here on the part of the administration that the Corean difficulties may yet be settled without any necessity for further hostile demonstration. In any event, the United States would not engage in any extensive war in that quarter without a full understanding with the European powerswho are interested in the favorable settlement of this question, both for commercial and political reasons. An unknown Philadelphian, of commendable generosity and unparalleled modesty, has given $300,000 for the projected Presbyterian hospital at West Philadelphia and earnestly requested that liis name shall not be revealed.

The Domestic Life of Thomas Jefferson: Compiled from Family Letters and Reminiscences, by his Great-Granddaughter, Sarah N. Randolph. With Illustrations. 'Cloth. $2 No one will now question the high merit of Thomas Jefferson as a patriot aud statesman.

But iu the bitter partisan contests of liis day his private character was bitterly assailed, and tiie echo of these criminations has come down to our own times. His great-granddaughter has taken upon herself tbe pious task of giving a faithful picture of him he was iu private life, and showing that he was a beautiful domestic character." Her labor of love has been admirably performed. The cftnespondence with liis two daughters, especially that with the gifted Martha Randolph, covering a period of a quarter of it century, forms a delightful series of family letters. The reminiscences of this daughter and her children are very touching. While showing that Jefferson was not only a great, but a good the word in its broadest religious man.

Mrs. Randolph has produced one of the charming biographies in our language. Eyrich has it. Reindeer, Dogs, and Snow-Shoes. A Journal of Siberian Travel and Explorations made in the years 1865-67.

By Richard J. Bush, late of the Russo American Telegraph Expedition. Illustrated. Cloth, $3. The story of the Uusso-American Telegraph through Siberia, as told by Mr.

Bush, who was one of its members, is one of the most fascinating books of travel and adventure which lias been given to the public in a long time. Mr. Bush is a very clever writer, as well as a keen observer, and has the rare faculty of knowing just wliat people want to be told about a comparatively unknown country. The route pursued by the expedition in search of a feasible line for the telegraph across that wild and semi-barbarous land, lay quite out of the usual track of commerce and travel, through regions where civilization has hardly begun anil brought the explorers into contact with rude and mitre types ot humanity, whose habits, dwellings, castftmes and characteristics are described by Mr. Bush in the most vivacious and interesting manner.

The volume is splendidly illustraed with wood-cuts, from sketches made by the author. Few people would care to travel through Eastern Siberia, but every body would like to know something of the desolate laud which Russia has chosen for the home of the exiles whom she wishes to punish with tbe utmost rigor; and there is no work in the English language where such information can bo more pleasantly acquired than in Mr. Bush's "Reindeer. Dogs, aud Snow Shoes." The author certainly possesses a liapny talent for description; and his plain, unvarnished narrative abonds iu passages which will attract the attention of the reader by the ease aud animation of their style, uo less thau by the fullness aud novelty of their Xnr York Tribune F'or sale by A.
