principal thoroughfares, as usual
TEE LAST DAY OF MAY, the Month OF Mary
was prettily observed by the Catholic population.
The custom OF dressing little children like cherubs
and taking them to church with wreaths on their
heads and flowers in their hands-oerngs to be laid
by the hands Of innocence at the sErines Of the Vr
gin Mother-was largely carried out. In the evening
the down town streets were filed with such children,
and the churches were crowded. The scene in the
Cathedral was especially beautiful the shrine Of the
Virgin being placed in the central asle in front Of
the altar, azd glowing, a lofty pyramid Of flaming
wax,lights, with wreaths and flowers in the most
gorgeous profession.

lake at MilnebuTg. We boarded her on Monday and
were much pleased with her. She is sloop, with an
enormous mast and great length Of boom entirely
different from anything in these waters draws about
five feet, and is what is called deep-water runner.
She is painted white rides the waves like swan
and below deck is perfect model of beauty comfort
and luxury quite as splendid as Com. Robinson's
Gipsey, and far more commodous and comfortable
We learn the Rosalnd has been brought out here for

THE QUICKEST AND CHEAPEST RIDE to the lake
and to the pleasantest terminus on the lake shore
this hot weather. is that offered by the Pontchartrain
Railroad. Only two bits to go and come, and only
fifteen or twenty minutes on the way. Milneburg
was never better prepared for recreatoniss and was
never more numerously visited and patronized than
now. There are no hotels in town equal to Miguers
or Boudro's Or the Washington Hotel, for fish din
ners, nor is there any place on the shore offering
more varied and pleasant for killing time, or
enjoying an hour or two out of the city's heat and
dust. The cars go down crowded, every evening,
long after the steamers leave, and on Sundays the
double trains carry thousands. Great numbers of
the most fashionable of our New Orleans families go
down every clear evening, to enjoy the walk out on
the long wharf, the sweet lake breezes and the differ
en sights of that ancient and respectable locality.
THE ELECTION IN JEFFERSON CrrY, on Monday,
for Mayor and Councimen, passed off quietly and
rather onesidedly. Our old friend, Judge John .
Michel, was elected by an overwhelming majority !;

out OF $50. The following gentlemen were elected
Councimen, by similar majorities: First Ward, E.
Laudun and 7. g. Noel; Second Ward, W. G. Cutler
and I. ]. Mackey; Third Ward, P. E. Davis and p
Walden; Fourth Ward j. j. Gidere and J. Dol
honde; Fifth Ward, 7. s. Elder.
THE FLORIDA, which left for Mobile on Monday
had on board an assorted crew. Besides the usual
complement of travellers, there were the Marsh
troupe lot of goats, lady jack, ten cames, and
lot of Mobilians The Marshes were going over for
weeks play in Mobile The goats and jennet were
the personal property of Master George Marsh. The
ten camels were portion of those imported by the
o. S. Government for service on the New Mexican
plains they had been found, like the Indians gun,
to cost more than they come to, aud had been sold
at a discount to planter in Alabama, who, by pre-
vious experiment, had ascertained one camel to be
worth dozen horses at plowing, and taking this
lot for plantation labor. The party of Mobilians
were steamboatmen who had come over to bid on the
steamer Camden, sold at auction that day, and who,
being outbidden by the New Orleans steamboatmen,
were going back without the Camden. The Marsh
girls looked very sweet and pretty in their brow n
straw hats and uniform dresses, and appeared &C.
lighted with the change from the dusty noisy city
and the hot Amphitheater to the cool breezes and
fresh air of the lake, and the hilarious excitement of
travel. The Florida was worthy of her name that
trip.
FIRE started yesterday afternoon in house &C.
cupied by Mr.. Evans, on Victory street, between
Frenchmen and Elysian Fields. 1t started in bed
room, and was stopped before doing further damage
than destroying the contents of the room.

way, and the body was then taken to the First Dis.

THE BOYS AND THE Docs have need to keen their
eyes peeled just now. The Board of Assistant Alder.
men, last night, voted the annual supply of poison
sausages for the dogs and voted arrest and punish
ment for all boys, white or black, caught stealing
rides behind omnbuses and cars. Owners of boys
and fathers of dogs-beg pardon we mean fathers of
boys and owners Of dogs-should look to it.
THE CORONER held an inquest yesterday on the
body of Robert Bainbridge boy or eight years
DID, who fell into the river last Friday at the foot of
Jackson street. Verdict, accidentally drowned.
The CoFFEEuousE AND CABARET KEEPERS have
organized to resist the new and stringent statute
relative to the sale of liquor to slaves and are about
to subject it to the test of law.
Recorder Summers has punished several of the
quor-sellers, under the statute upon due conviction
by juries Of Shareholders before hinsef and has
sixteen other of the kind liked for trial on Sat-
urday next.
Recorder Wilt having declined to enforce the law,
considering it too and unjust and unconstitu-
tional arrests under that law have yet been made
in the Second District, which is by far the worst
District of the city for the liquor traffic with slaves
Recorder Long has two cases of the kind before
him He does not wish to try them, until the valid
ity invaidity of the law shall be decided by some
Of the standard tribunals
Recorder Adams has case or two before him,
which be has not acted upon, and probably will not
act upon, until with the other Recorders he finds
how far the law is founded upon justice.
The first step of the issue was taken yesterday
Col Field attorney for the several cofleehouse keep
arrested in the First District filed petition yes
terday in the Third District Court praying writ Of
prohibition to stay further proceedings the part
of Recorder Summers The petitioners aver that the
law is null and void because it is in direct violation
of article lG3 of the State Constitution and provides
for mode of trial different from that guaranteed by
| the Constitution; null and void because it provides
for trial without Indictment or presentment, and
denies the accused the right of appeal; because ii
provides that the trial shall be made by parties sup
posed to be interested, the jury being chosen among
certain class of individuals, to wit, Shareholders
and because it provides mode of trial. for what the
law uenomlnates crime in one Darticuar locality
