A Jolie on Oscar Banks.
Yesterday the employees at Salmons

Banks. He dropped his pocketbook con-

picked up by Edward F. O’Connor. Of
course Oscar thought that he had lost
the money and his anociats allowed him
to hold that opinion for some time.
Be rushed around to all the places where
he had been during the day, but could
not find the pocketbook. Finally when
the men had got all the fun possible not
of the joke, they gave up the money.
Oscar was so glad to receive the bundle
that he forgot to be mad.

James River with his father when he
was seven years 'old. He is affable, a

Capt. Couch was born in New York,
Aug. 11, 1824, and his first trip to sea
was in 1831115 cabin boy with his father,
Hezekiah Couch. on the schooner Tsu-
troy of the old line of Richmond packets.
In 1839 he sailed on the same vessel as
seaman. In 1842 he was made mate of
the schooner Weymouth, and in 1813
master of the same vessel. ln18~15 he
was master of the schooner Greenway,
and in 1849 master of the schooner Mer-
chant of the New York and Virginia line
of packets. In 1853 he became master
of the schooner Lynchburg, of the same
line. In 1854 he was made first officer
of the steamship Roanoke, of the N. Y.

the same vessel in 1859. His vessel was

On the return sa'rl two new points of In-
tereet are added by the vessel stopping at
Portsmouth and Norfolk. Altogether
the voyage is one of the most agreeabre
combinations and under the most favor-
able conditions.
At Richmond we spent one day in vis-
iting the earthworks which remain al-
most intact but covered with a heavy
growth of trees and underbrush. This
journey we made In a coach driven by a
colored man named .Thoruion Stewart,
who was With the Confederate army for
three years, and who is well informed
and a most entertaining talker. Before
we engaged the team we remarked that
the horses did not look very fresh, and
asked if they were capable of making
the trip. Thornton replied,
“Dr ain’t very rapid, sah, but da go
whar I want dear to, every time, ssh."

During the Rebellion he was master of

close of the war his vessel was the first
to arrive at Richmond. Jun. 10th, 1887,
he was made master of the steamship“,

and which fastened on "George" like

talking qualities are phenomenal and his
knowledge of events of the war around
Richmond remarkable; his description of
personal experience very amusing and
his familiarity with what transpired, of
"theAartlst-on-tbe-epot” character. All
extraordinary incidents which might
