A GLoRIousLY BEAUTIFUL DAY was yesterday
and Canal and the other lady streets were perfectly
"gal.lorous n We found it hard to decide which
appeared brightest and prettiest the weather, the
ladies', the shopwindows. Though, upon reflection
and for divers and sundry reasons we now opne that
the lady-shine was the greatest-for whilst the
heavens were only natural. and the shop-windows
artificial the ladies combined all the beauties Of both
nature and art.
P. S.-After writing the above, we became per.
fectIy positive that the ladies oYertopped everything
else. For we saw four ladies, all friends, come
together on the street, and none of them had seen
the others recently Such kissing They kissed
all round and the number of kisses given and re-
ceived in the circuit was-lets see. Here's puzzle
Who tell how many kisses are necessary for the
mere interchange of salute among four ladies We
can tell how many it would require for US to salute
four ladies. But to drop the puzzle, Cor the nature
Of confuses our arthmetic it was positively aggra
yating or delicious, can't say which, to see the
nesting of the four bonnets at each other and the
smiles, and to hear the laughing, and chatting and
all that about the deuce knows what, As they stood
together in close quadrangle as heirskirts would
permit, they occupieda space we should say of about
ten square eet-more than foot for foot there being
only eight of the other kind Of feet on the spot.
But, to simmer down" we will conclude as we be

SOME OF THE CoNsEQuENcEs.-Sey weeks ago
we used our best English in the endeavor to dssnade
people abroad, and especially the young and ambi-
tious from pitching too rashy into New Orleans, to
fill the supposed vacancies of the several thousand of
the past summers dead Over eight thousand peo-
pie have died since last June it is true Eight thous-
and is large NUMBER and the death of such a mum.
ber, we admit, suggests expectations of vacancies in
our midst. That there are many sad vancancies we
do not pretend to deny; but then, New Orleans has
an average population of 10000, and to those who
look at things arithmetieally, the loss of 900
not be considered as making very much Of vacancy,
especially when we consider that the great mass of
those who died were poor foreigners, tthe humblest
class of laborers) and women children, negroes etc.
On this hardly pereeptible vacuum in our active
teHtold Within the last three weeks thirty or forty
thousand people have landed in New Orleans, the
large majority Of whom are perfect strangers. And
of the strangers by far the greater part who
have come to look for comfortable place in dead

deny, by their peculiar tact talent get foohOld

We have been led into these remarks, not only
from stories that daily hear, but from several
cases that have come up in the police courts lately.
