Competitive Practice at Moblle-Wlhat our Own Teams Can Do. For some time past some of the military or ganizations in this cily. ese cially the Conti nentals, have interested themselves recently in a correspondence which may rrsult In an an nual miltia encampment of the adjoining 8tatrs. at which there will be competitive mili tia target-shooting. The first step towards the accoiplishment of this object is an invitation from the militia or ganizations of Mobile to partic'pate in their en campment, which takes place in a month or two. Ona that occasion the target-shooting will be one of the principal features, and another will be the competitive drilling. It is expec'ted that the Mobile militia will ex tend their invitations to the militia of Forirlda. Mississippi and Texa.,and the ootasio n ma be one of eonsidelrable importlnce. Should it prove a sucRess, it is exp-et d that during mnext year the militia of this State will extend similar Invitations to the militia of all of the adjoining SHt.tes, and make It an onlject for them to come by offering handsome prizes for the best rot pany team shooting, and also for competitive drilling. For some time past the various companies be. lonaltg to the organizations of this city have been pr acticing at t he CUrscent City rillnh ranne. antd the scores made. as published in the DEMo caAT, go to show that should the New Orl, ans organizations visit Mobile in any great number the crack shots or teams of that city will have to stir themselves to keep their priz s at howe.

After a long career of Industry. enterprise. antd usefulness. Mr. Patrick Irwin died .seter day at half past tw'clck o'clock, of a thi d attack of apoplexy. During the dry the deceased had been unusually active in the performance of his duties as president of the tllibernia Bank--a po sition which he has held since 1T70 a fact which probably Wgeclpitated the stroke that caused his death; for. as long as thirty-five years ago, while at dinner at a restaurant on the th. n great thoroughfare of Now Orleans, St. Charles street, Mr. Irwin was struck down by the mall clous disease, whl'h loft up in his face an ineradicable stamp. The arrival of Mr. Irwin in the Unlted States dates back to 1529, and it was in l5m2 that he came to New Orlrans. ever since which he has livedthere,amassing, me unwhil,. a large fortune by his strict business habits, energy and p r severance. It was through his enterprise that the Dryades Market was erecte , in ls40. and its vicinity made one of the trade centres of the city, and many other stru.tures in different parts of New Orleans attest his worth and we lth. His name In connection with the Itam part and Carontiele street lines of omnibuses from which he derived mucr of his fortune prior to the establishment of str.nt ears. will be remembered by many of our citizens. Subso ouently Mr. Irwtn connected himself with our street car system, and became one of its most efficient managers. Although erichrwing toll tics. Mr. Irwin was el-cted to the postl ion of alderman of New Orleans in 185a. antd the next year was appointed to fill the vacancy in the L gesiatluri .ccaruioned by the death of the Hon. Preston W. Farrar. His works of charity are Ftill visible in the fine structures known as the Church of St.John the llap'lst. the parochial school-trouse of the same church, and the convent, all situated on Dryades street. between Calliop- and CIr. and to the ere tion of which he has contributed largely. manife-ting thereby his attachment to the Roman Catholic Church. ot which he was a member. bt. Patrick's Hall itself is greatly due to his muniflcence, for, if we are not mis taken. the valuable plot of ground u on whler it stands was donated by him. The loss of Pat rick Irwin witi be severely f It by the commu nity in which he had for forty-six years lived a useful and honorable life. The funeral cere monies, whi h wi I occur this evening, will be a grand and solemn manifestation of the esteem in a hich he was held. and of the regret th t is felt over his demise. Patrick Irwin was born in the county of Cork. Irel-nd, in le10. and was, therefore, sixty-eight years of age. THE "UNITY CLUB" AT GRUNEWALD HALL. The Unity Club. an association of lady and gentlemen amateurs, gave an entertainment yesterday evening at Grunewald Hall, before an audience such as only New Orleans can show on occasions of particular interest. The play se'ected for the evening was "The Doctor of Alcantara." a comic English opera, in two acts, with the following cast: Dr. Paracer us, the Doctor of Alcantara. W. u.

In fact, the entertninment was performed with great talent nl Antelligence, and wounn u without a single incident to mar the beauty r+t the tiay. We have no doubt that, should the club re pe t the "Doetor of Alcantara," the appre ,intive peopei of New Orleans wl 1 flock to wit ners it. and, like "Oliver Twist," still ask for more. BITTERN C.

Finds Connolation Beneath the Waters of the 1miItslc.ppl. At about o o'clock last evening a man named Alibert Hannemainn. aged thirty-eliht years, a ncivoeof Denmnar k and a painter by occut,a tion. a,mmitted lsuicide by jumping off of the Third D)istrict ferryboat while she was in the midden of the river. From the offlc, rs of the boat the reporter learned that the dcceaed boarded tihe boat as she was about leaving the Algiers side, and took his sett apart trom the oiher passengers that were alto on board. When the boit was about the middle of the stream, he walked to the gangway, andthrowing htis haton deck. l .aped ove, board, exclaiming, "Firewell." to those on board. He did not sink immediately, but swam away from the boat. The cry of "man overboard" was given and the hboat was immediately sto ped, a rope was Ithen thrown him. buit he dcci ned to catch hold of it. The officets then had a boat lowered and manned to go to the rescue, but Hannemann g. stieulated to them with his hatnds to keep away from him. and, as he saw that they were determined to save him. he threw up his hands to heaven and quietly found relief beneath the placid water of the Misstssltppi. When she dece ased lumpe d overboaed no one knew him on board, and the way that he was Identified was ty the hal that he threw on deck. whic'h was taken to the Fifth Precinct Station and r' cxognirtd by his brother.

The friends of the deceased state that he has for sa me time past been suffering from the painter's cholic, and, to alleviate his suffering. had 'aken to drink. When under the influence of liquor he had repeatedly threatened to destroy himself. As will be seen by the date of the letter he wrote to Mr. Briggl that he committed the rash act much sooner than he expected. His effects will be taken in charge by hi' brother.

Editor Ikmoralt I would most respect fully ask those in authority if Magazine sirs't is a thoroughfate for pedestrians, or has It beon rented· out for storage purposes. n)r going up Magazine, above Poydras, the pedestrian first comes in contact with wagons on the sidewalk. Next comes some kind of great sheet-iron tanks: then we come in eon tfa't with Schwartz & Bros.' great junk shop, covering ab',ut two acres of ground, bet(IdeI's 'overing the sidewalks at least 1O) feeit on both Magazine arnd Julia streets. The said sidewalks are covered with anchors,. chains, cannon, hogsieads and all kinds of rough junk. Then, above Julia, we find two rival ciststrn bailders, sometimes with ten or fifteen largecisterns on the sidewalk, leaving an uncertain meandering path up Magazine street, which makes it undesirable to walk on the street. Have the citizens no rights that junk men, cistern makers, and others, are ,ound to respect, or must we who live on that stre.ct mrrove, or walk on some other street.

When Eugene Augustus asked her to sing last night, she flIrted up her long train, o quetishly wiggle-waggled to the piano, and sung: When ther moo-hoon is mi-hild-ly be-heamlag O'er the ca-halm and a-bhllent -e-e-e-a; Its ra dyunce so holily stre-heam-ing.

Tbis thing of delaying mails jstu to suit the convenience of contractors is get ting a little too mon-o-to-nlous, to use the ex pression of an old friend, and we stneerely hope the Posttflice Department will take prompt and decisive action in the matter. We have had occasion several times before tc speak of the bad condition of mail matter re ceived by this route, oiftentimes receiving our exchanges so wet and torn up that we were) unable to read them at all. The letter mail. also, at times, suffered from the same careless neglect.
