tine sunshine and rain coming together, from which
it was to be inferred that old Mrs Nicholas was
catching fits from her Satanic lord Last night was
fair imitation Of the day, in its changes-tbe wind
blowing merriy at times, and the temperature all the
time being warm.
The FEVER Returns yesterday to the Board or
! Health showed the number Of deaths to be 81, for
the tYentyiour hours ending Tuesday noon
DAMAGE BY THE sToRsr.-The storm of Tuesday
night was quite severe at the lake. portion Of the
woodwork Of the Pontchartrain Railroad wharf,
about 800 feet, was blown up and piled across the
track, which also was considerably twisted out Of
place. But in short time the track and wharf were
fixed all right, and the cars passed over them as
usual.
THE GREAT DEY-DocE STILL DRY.-The Cuban
dry-dock, above GFetna, was to have been launched
yesterday morning Everything being ready at the
hour, the word was given to let her rip but she
never ripped, nary time once" For hours the
workmen abored to get her started but she laughed
them to scorn and then hydraulic ram was ap-
piled, to give her boost bat the machine 5drsted,
! and was nowhere. When we last heard from the
dock, last evening, she high and dry as ever.
Her stubbornness can be accounted for upon only two
suggestions Either that she fancies she is the Great
Western, and wants to put airs in launching, as
the Great Eastern did or, remembering that she is
| built Of American oak on American soil by American
hands feels herself thoroughly American that she
scons and repudiates the idea of being launched to
go into foreign service, and especially the service
of Old Spain. Science will prevail, though. If she
isn't in the water now, she will be soon.
P S.-Since writing the above, we learn that the
dry-dock succumbed, and was clasped lovingly yet
tendery in the embrace of the old Father of Waters

herself if numbering men-ofwar should come about,

INrEREsTING.-A gentleman who has an interest
ing wife, forgot the fact on Tuesday night and took
an interesting moonlight stroll with an interesting
female he fell in with the street. In order to finish
their interesting chat they strolled into the shades Of
Congo Square, where nc pryiDg eyes or interested
ears were about. How their chat went or what the
subject was, it boots not to say
But before the interesting chat was ended, both
were thrown into the chaters by tigress pouncing
between them The tigress proved to be the inter

spectabity, and insisted upon an immediate inter.
view with the Recorder; and the wife being now
hysterieal, and the interesting female stoical and
eoldly callous it was interesting all round
An obliging officer went and aroused Recorder

their parole to appear in court yesterday morning
Yesterday morning, the husband and wife honored
their word by appearing in court. Explanations had
been made the row between them was settled ; and
they were as lovingly ale donate as the pair of
Siamese twins. But the interesting female failed to
appear.
The Recorder thereupon talked like a father to
both the husband and his interesting wife and dis
missed them. For the interesting female who broke
her parole, he issued warrant. The policeman who
arrested the interesting rio swears that he never be.
