MISER AND SPENDTHRIFT. .A Man "Who WnB known in Nc\v Or- ) can HUH ix Negro Nurse anil la I'arls an a Millionaire .Planter. There lived , n dozen yenrs n < ro , on Da- niiiine street , down in the French portion tion of the city , an elderly negro , u arifto in color , writes a Now Orleans COITUS- ponilunt of the Cincinnati Enquirer. His dwelling was a rickotyold shanty , dating from the ancient days of Now Orleans ; its slunglo roof , rotten and covered witli moss and woods , and the house sceinrul ab'out to tumble in pieces. It contained but twt > rooms , divided by a thin par tition of planks , divisions merely for the oyo. not for the noses or car. The front room seemed an old curios ity shop. It was stored with broken fur niture , lumber , and odds and ends of every description , but apparently worth less and valueless. The most conspicu ous piece of f urnituro in the room was an immense rusty safe , which took up moro than half of it. Hero in a capacious and venerable rocking-chair sat day after 'day an old lady , shriveled up into narcli- mont , and of llio august ago of 103. She was the mother of the owner of the house , Francois Lncrolx , ihenegronurso. Ills life was one of absolute privation , for ho allowed himself only tliu barest necessities. No one had over known him 'to nay a cent , beyond what was needed to keep him aliyo , for food and dress , and oven liis dress was of the shabbiest and meanest description. For ton months of the year Francois Lacroix lived this life of sordid want ; but for the remaining two months ho was absent from New Orleans on business. Those who visited Paris any winter between - twoon 18CO and 1870 , if they know aught of Parisian life , must have hoard of the millionaire Creole planter , Francois Lncroi.v. No bouloyardoiir was more thoroughly Parisian than ho , or carried more people of the gay capital with him. A man of unbounded wealth , he rushed headforemost into all dissipations and fairJy ohiotnlicd even Paris. His mis tresses dressed moro gorgeously than those of any Russian prince ; his dinners were grander thaa those of hucullus ; his horses the finest in Franco. He throw away his money with a recklessness that a told of a Fortunatus purse , gambled it mvay , spent it on cocottes , amllived at a ' rate that few in Paris could imitate. To 'have maintained this style would have required an annual income of 5,000,000 , francs , Lacroix only Humored two months in Paris and disappeared as mysteriously { is Jio ciuui ) . Not for goon , however , for next year ho returned to live over again the samu life , eight weeks of prolligaoy worthy of Sardanapalus. As Paris always contains u large pro portion of Louisiana Creoles , the disguise if any was really attempted , could not long uo maintained , and it became known Hint Francolso I < aoroix , the creolu planter in Pans , and Francolso Lacroix , the negro miser in Now Orleans , were one { ' .ml the same person , lly industry and parsimony he had built upporhaps , the largest fortune in "the Crescent city. " Twenty-live years ago Ins Income was $130,000 a year fn rents alone , and ho held more than f 1,000,000 of n-nl estate , including some of the linest nnd most re- nuinerativo propei ty In iho city. Of his income , a few hundred went for his home expenses during the ton months of his life in "tho Crescent city , " the remainder for his two months of Paris , Year after year went on , oven during the war , ami long after it. In the height of republican rule Lncroix came to the trout in a titanic tax struggle with the republican state government on thuques- fiou of taxes , Just about ten years ago , in lb74-75 , his immense fortune , estlmatcu nt over a million , disappeared so snndimly that one might almost bo- llovo it was a case of CimloroUa. when the "goUtoii coiioh bocamu a pumpkin ngain , Laoroix's ' property was seized for taxes and sold , lie wits oflerod the money by a' ' hundred persons to redeem it , but re fused it. To every slicrilPs sale ho went , whore the property sold at one-hundredth its value. Ho stood callous and nnro- gardful of what was going on , smiling whenever a piece was sold at an unusual ly loty lignre , Ono \\oak ho was a mil lionaire , the next u pauper. It Beamed impossible to understand Ms course , ami there wore many who said that lie was Insnno. There wore others who clnllm-tl that it was a piece of revenge , worthy of mm , Of his two sous one , who promised to bo one of the col ored leaders of the state , died in the Me chanics' institute riot in 18(57 ( ; the other was disinherited ; and ills snid that one of the purposes of old Lacroix in letting hit fortune be swallowed up was to prevent that son from netting any portion of it. us he must have done under the laws ui Louiaianna Whatever was the cnuso of his action , however , the Laerolx fortune was wholly dijslpatcd , nnd the old man disappeared from view soon after to die in poverty. TILDEN AND THE COMMISSION. How nn KtTort AVna Mndn to Induce Him to Spcnk In Time. Noxv York Star : I was the bearer of a lottiir to Governor Tililmttrom Ills friends at Washington while the formation of the Electoral commission was being de bated , and hisviuWH were Bought by thorn that they might be governed In their ac tion hi that matter. I reached there in the midnight train from Washington , and as soon as I could rer.ch tno governor's house presented his letter , which was very csrcfully read alld reread before ho saitl : "When do you return ? " "Immediately , " I said , "as our friends await your answer. " "Tho train goes at 1 o'clock. " Ho had continued his walk up nnd down the parlor , anil I had per foico joined him. Ho was silent forsomo min utes , when he said suddenly : "Como hero at 12 o'clock. " At that hour I called , and the governor and I resumed the walk , ho silently nnd seemingly in dcou thought , until L be came somewhat uneasy about missing the train. Several minutes were thus passed , when ho said : "Why was I not consulted before ? " "I thought you hail been , governor. " "No , sir. I was informed that such a measure was contemplated , and now , at the last moment. 1 am called on to give my views. Ho slopped suddenly and said : " 1 will reply by telegraph or mes senger later. " 1 left in the train , as instructed , nnd no messenger nor telegram came the next day , and in the meanwhile it was being understood and that understanding was Industriously circulated that the , gov ernor was in favor of the commission. Whether any pains wore taken by his immediate representatives to correct this impression , am unable to say. The work , however , went on , and the belief that Judge JJavis would be one of the commission gave confidence to the friends of Governor Tildon , ami perhaps urged them to consent to the passage of the act forming the commis sion. sion.Another Another day had passed , and no reply had come by messenger or telegram and it was known the vote would bo taken as soon as the house of representatives met the following morning , the electoral com mission act coming up as unfinished business. That morning at 8 o'clock a telegram came from Governor Tildon of some 200 words or more. The gentleman who was familiar with the cipher was absent , hav ing gone on to see Governor Tilden by the midnight train , but I undertook : to translate , the message. It was a tedious task , and some two hours or moro were consumed in the clVort , and when con cluded it was delivered to Colonel I'elton , who was waiting for it in the speaker's room at the capitol. It came too late. The vote was bi'.lng taken and the result has passed into history. The telegram deprecated the "not husto" which seemed to be pur sued by the democratic party , called on thorn to exhaust all constitutional provis ions before .embarking on any untried and uncertain remedy , for which they seemed to think there , was no provision in the constitution and the laws , but which , ho said , contained all that was needed. Rcrnlumlt's Fight la Rio. Rio do Janeiro News : The Burnhardt- Noirmout scandal has developed into u genuine comedy , in which none of the loading characters not excepting the police have won much credit. The di vine Sarah first interfered to prevent Noirmont from taking a trunk away from theatre , calling her a thief , as the latter claims. Noirmont resented the charge witli a blow , when a fisticuff en counter took place , in which various members of the company took part. The same night , during the play , and be tween the third and lourth acts , Sarah drew a whip from her dross and gave Noirmont several blows across the face and shoulders. Noirmont complained to the police official present , but ho dis missed tno matter on the ground that Sarah was not caught in the act ( Ha- granto ) . The following day , the 24th , Noirmont went to the police headquar ters with her complaint , where a process was procured for the great star. In the afternoon of the same day , as the son and secretary of the latter were passing the Polytechnic , they met the ollending subordinate in the street , and at once proceeded to give her a piece of their minds also. Noirmont resented their in sult and tried to break their skull with her parasol , but succeeded only in hav ing it taken away from her and thrown over the fence. The Gaxota do Noticas of the 215th very properly stlffmatized the conduct of these youngsters , and with the result of calling out u joint card from them , which was published in the Pinof the 2Uthformally stating that the accusa tion was a lie , and that they were "at homo" from 1 to 3 p. in. Whether the good-natured chief of the G 117.01a ac cepted the invitation or not wo do not know ; but wo think it probable that ho sent the children n couple of rattle-boxes instead. The police investigation thus far has been a broad farce , barah failed to appear on the 2Gti > , ne ordered , when the investigation was postponed to the . ' 8th , when it was publicly known that she was to leave for Sao i'aulo on the 37th. The appearances are that the ma- jesiy of the law issomowlint dn//.lod and overawed by the superior points of the rjuocn of the tragiu stage , and is there- tore unable to assort its authority. The Human Family. Tlilc human family living on earth consist- ) about 1,450,000,000 individuals ; not less , probably moro.

Six of us , who wen prospecting , hunting , nnd taking thing pretty cosy for July weather , occupied : large cabin which hud been built nnd de scried some tune before. From this ecu tral point small parties branehad out am were gouo for several days at a tlmn , am it scarcely over happened that the MX o us were at home , at the same time. Wi had no trouble with anything or anybodi until , after wo had occupied Iho plnci seventeen or eighteen days , a bad spul of weather crime on and drooo nil the de t\ched : parties in for shelter. Wo won well hucled in the matter ot firearms and there was something like a thousam dollars in gold among the six. For cool we had an old soldier who had been dls charged from the regular army aftoi long service. Ono niorninfir , it being llio third day o the bad weather , and the rain still tall ing , Joe , our cook , went down to tin forks of the Stanislaus to meet n canoi which we expected up with provisions The door ot the cabin was shut , am : there was n bit of lire on the hearth at which some of the me.n were mouldiii'j bullets , and over which a kettle of porli and bcnns was boiling. Two of tin gang were playing cards , and a third was reading , wlnlo 1 was examin ing some mineral specimens. In this stalls of a flairs the door softly opened , and in walked a young man about twen ty-three years of ago. Lie was smooth faced , red-cheeked , and had such n smile on his phi/ that the sight of him would have sot any olio to grinning. He look ed from one to the other , us if to make sure that all were present and then slop ped back and opened the doxr and cal led , "Como m , William , they arc at homo. " A short , stout , ugly-faced man of forty pushed his wuv in , shut the door , anil stood with his lack to it. That he was a hard pill no one could doubt after look ing into his face ; that lie meant business was apparent from his having a revolver in either hand. Had some one yelled "Indians ! " I think the six of us , each with a revolver ready to shoot , would have been out doors in twenty seconds. Here we all sat , us dumb as oysters and as helpless as snails for we rea lized that it was a "stand up. " "Now , gents , " said the young man. showing hjs white teeth as he smiled. " 1 want to raise a few hundred dollars for an orphan asylum at Stockton. 1 shall expect each one of you to contribune. If any gentleman should so far forget him- soft'as to pull his gun , my friend William who shots both-handed , will probably at tend to his case. It was only after this little speech that wo fully comprehended what was going on. William kept every man of us under his eye , with Ids two pistols ready for .ser vice , and wo wore cowed. I know that the average man will fool contempt for us , and assort that ho would have done this or that had he been one ot the six , but he was mistaken. Under the cir cumstances , unless ho was a fool , ho would have tamely submitted. That red- cheeked boy , as we were not long in con cluding , was a road agent named Colonel Leo , and the man William had justly earned the named of "Bloody Bill. " Only six months before they had held up the Mariposa stage , in which one ot our number was a passenger. "Come , gontd , time is money with us , " said the Colonel as wo sat staring at him. "Hero's my can ; who chips in the first hundred ? " Ilo held it toward mo ; ami I dropped in four twenties , which was all 1 had. The next man came down with $200 ; the next with $150 , and by the time the last had contributed the colonel had $800 in his cap. In transferring it to his pockets ho counted the money , and as he put his cap on his head lie said : "This will go a good way toward mak ing the little orphans happy. I don't want anything else , gentlemen , and wo will now take our leave. I would ad vise you not to follow though of course yon can act your own pleasure. I wish yon a good morning. " The two backed out and shut the door , which swung out instead of In , Scarcely had it closed before wo made a rush , but they were still too smart for us. They had braced a log against it , and there was only one win dow in the houso. Before anyone had volunteered to crawl out of that the two fellows had made good their escape. In going away they met our cook on his way buck , and the colonel handed him a ijask of whisky and asked him to present it to us with his compliments. We took the trail and pursued it forsovoral hours , but we had seen tlio last of thum. DEAD MANAGER dARRETT. Tlio Introducer or" "JHnok Crook "nn JInrry i'nltnor'a 1'urtnor. Now York Journal : While all the rest of New York was talking about the dead statesman ye.ste.rdny the actors who thi < eng the Kialto were absorbed in the news of the death of Henry O.

Hu was born in Balti more , Md , , February 10 , 18iy. and be came tlio proprietor of the Balliinoro Museum soon uftor he attained his ma jority.

The first of these ex- jnr.sionti was on the Fall river steamboat liristol , and Mr. Jarrctt and his partner lire said to have divided $1,000 , "Mr. Jarrett had a genius for the show business , " said an old attache of the Union Square Company , "and Know the j.xact value of an attrnetion butler than wy man I oversaw. Ilo was shrewd at i bargain , but extremely liberal to those lie employed , He was full of Invention md expedients , and was , I bcliovo , the irot managur who over arranged to have i .famous slur appear in two cities on the tumn evening.

An Kngllsh statistician has recently compiled a .state ment of the number ot sovereigns who , within the historical era , have come to violent or ignominious ends. On his list arc Ur > 50 kinns and emperors , reigning over seventy-four nations. Oi these ! IOD wore overthrown , 01 wore deposed , 2.1 committed suicide , - ' ' ! became insane or imbecile , 100 were killed in buttle , 103 were captured by the enemy , 35 were tortured to death , 1H ! were assassinated nud 10S were hanged , shot or beheaded by their subject * . Less tlmn one-third lived out tholr reigns prosperously. Several days ago H. O. lletming was arrested at the village of Itnsen , in Hill county , Tex. , and wnj taken to Fort Worth on Saturday. It now appears V that ilennlng is charged with being one of the murders of Olueor Townsund , who was shot by Knlulits of Labor on the cotil train in April last.
