New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1859-01-29

"LEoNoRA has sent US q letter thanking us for
aluding to the nuisance Of the crowding Of splendid
young gentlemen, "tads,'' around the corners of
Royal and Canal streets, every pleasant day, and ad
vising to keep on at them till they shall cease the
impoliteness.
We have every disposition in the world to crafty
the lady, for she writes just we have heard numer
GUS other ladies talk, on the same subject but we
fear newspaporial castigaton will have little effect
in abating the nuisance though it gives pleasure
to administer it once in WHILE The splenddly
dressed fellows who block the corners and imper
tineny stare at and ostle the ladies as they pass
splendid ignoramuses, who never read the papers
have any idea of manners Their own fine looks and
the magnificent polish they acquire from their tailors
and BARRIERS, are about all they have any conscious
ness Of save desire to stun with their beauty and
,acerate the hearts Of the ladies' who pass them with
SO much secret contempt The police will be about
the only effective means Of Kidding them of their
fond delusions.
"Leonora also alludes to the practice of the same
or similar gorgeous gang who collect in front of
Christ Church, on Canal street, every Sunday, to
stare at the ladies as they go in and come out, to
their great disgust and inconvenience We shall
attend to these gentlemen, from time to time
BAD NEWS FROM HONE is dreadful thing. We
felt yesterday that it must be so for leaning against
the Citizens Bank, near the Post Office, we saw
man reading letter. He was evidently laborer q
stout fnelooking fellow, with cottonhook in bis
belt. We noticed that the sheet he was reading was
fnged with black and then, looking at his face saw
the big tears rolling down over it, and twltchng
around his mouth occasional parting of the lips,
disclosing the teeth firmly set. The blackedged let
ter and the tears told his story. must have been
about the death of his mother his sister, or perhaps
his wife that he was reading. He stood there as
deeply buried In that letter. aud as unconscious of the
gay and bustng throng that rushed past him, as II
he had been in the center Of desert. We might
have been wrong in stopping near by to watch him
but we couldn't help it. We did not know who was
dead anything about it but the black edged letter
and the tears of the strong man told US be had re-
ceiyed bad news from home.
THE MAYOR yesterday dismissed John D. Weaver
from the Fourth District police. The charge against
him was that OF appropriating to his own use several
barrels of stolen potatoes instead of taking them to
the police Office, and neglectng to arrest the thief
