Pu.Lro MISREPRESENTATION oily
Ia, arrived At that period ofits history,
when It is essentially necessary that
much shall Be done, and should Be
wsll done. L is better to make no
Improvement whatever, than to have
things done on the cheap scale, and
such we are sorry to see, is the spirit
which has to be manifested not un-
frequently in the Board, to represent
a party Of double-rectiied old Fogies,
who pull back and kick up at every
thing. This should not be. There
is no greater waste Of public and pri-
vate treasure, than that Of expenditures
for cheap things. We have two cheap
Town Halls that will remain lasting
monuments ofthe folly Of cheap things
The one. we observe on the North
side of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, has never yet been finished
There is a tablet on the front side,
evidently designed for the names OF
the parties who conceived the plan OF
an establishment Of such magnitude.
The nsmes should be gouged in the
stone deeply, and at once.
The Town Hall conceived by our
eminent old friend in Court House
street-when he filed the Mayorality
with so much ease and dignity, still
stands. The second story Of the Mar
ket house has been used usefu'ly for
many purposes--but not often for
what it was designed.
On the subject Of cheap buildings
we desire to say something about
the house ordered to be built imme-
diately for a Hospital" Surely a
miserable one horse affair, such as
can be cobbled up in two days and a
half. can never bear the title ola Hos
pital. And we hope the travelling
public will not be deceived into the
belief that by being put out at this
place in ill-health they will be taken
to building, neat, airy and commo-
dious, since such will not, and cannot
be the case. 1t would be more good
Samaritan-like. to forbid the landing
Of such persons.
We object seriously to any such
hasty allurements, to bring sick peo-
pie to die here, for shere want Of &C,
commodation. The town now con-
tains, say 5000 souls-it is large
enough to demand at the hands Of its
citizens-for their own security, a
Hospital. The Parish is interested
and the State is interested. This is g
high and healthy location, and a Hos.
pital should be built-not q board
fence affair but large and commo
dious building. There is no hurry fol
it. This is not the first, nor is it thu
last time that an epidemic will visi
New Orleans. There is no need o
the citizens Of this place working them
selves into fever, to know what they
shall do with the sick, since the towr
is remarkably healthy; but let us pro
vide in time Of peace, at the prope
season to prepare for scourge tina
may at any time be sent amongst US
by q Hand that cannot be staid.

MUSICAL INSTRUCTIONS,
j o e p HI A. G'SCH ND.
Professor of Music

Dogs leave to inform the citizens of Washington
ID and vicinity that he is prepared to give Musical
Instructions. His long experience in teaching this
delightful art and beautiful accomplishment both in
Europe and in America, enables him to progress much
quicker with his pupils and to give them at the
same time more profound knowle ige of Music than
is usually done, because his method, always adapted
to the capacity of the scholar embraces both theory
and practice and thereby makes the study of music
more interesting and pleasant to them.
Those that have no Piano at their house, and wish
70 cake lessons that instrument take them at
his rooms on Pennsylvania Avenue, between ID and
Sd streets, next to the st. Charles Hotel.
Orders left at Mr.. THoMPsoNs Daguerrean Gallery,

Mr.. EDITOR: Allow me small space in
the I" Star % to call the attention of the
"Guardians of the Night" to the gang of
rowdies who congregate nightly in front of
the church on the corner of 5th and I sts.,
and make night hideous by their squalling,
yelling, and other outrageous proceedings,
thereby disturbing the peace and quietude
of the entire neighborhood. If the watch
is not sufficient to prevent this nuisance, let
a call be made on the citizens of that vicin-
ity, and force will soon be collected to place
these half grown men but full grown rowdies
where their singing will not be tolerated. +
