II was rather quiet than otherwise on the flags
Of Garondelet street and environs yesterday. Else
where-that is, on Tchoupitoulas, Poydras and
Fulton streets-there was some business going on.
The recent arrivals from the West have added to
the good stocks of breadstufs and provisions, and
with the good demand for the same for the Ala
bama, Florida and Southern Texas markets, there
is considerable activity in the way of sales Our
good residents and habitues of Carondelet street
must not think that all the vast trade of New Or
leans centsrs in that locality. If cotton is King
it is subservient to MessEs. Bacon, Hominy & Co.
The arrivals of steamboats, yesterday were nu-
n,eyous, and there is something more than show
going forward on the grand ieyee-that is, from
the foot of Customhouse street up to the steamship
landing. At this landing there are strong evil
dences of large increase in the Texas trade.
All the trade with Texas does not concentrate at
this locality. There are vessels loading every

A WHALE ATTACKED BY A SwoRD-FIsH-A re-
markable scene was Witnessed by a boats crew
belonging to the island of Westray, about fort
night ago. As Gavin Mowat and his boats crew
were engaged fishing for cod, about six miles from
land to the eastward Of Noup Head they observed
a large whale running rapidly toward their boat
In little time there was violent commotion
The whale leaped about six feet clear out of the
water, when they observed that sword fish had
struck its letha weapon into its body just behind
the large fin. The huge animal confined in The
greatest distresses, leaping out Of the water but
obviously getting more feeble, while the sword-ish
elung closely in spite of all its contortions. During
all this time, also, thresher continued to strike
the whale on both sides near its middle and the
wounded animal continued to bleed profusely.
The three creatures passed at some little distance
from the boat. and the eddies were 80 considerable
as to make it sway not little though the sea was
otherwise perfectly calm. When it passed, the
whale was putting SO feebly that he seemed lite
rally gasping for BREATH and the men felt certain
that it must have died in short time.

How TO BREAK BAD HABIT. - Understand
clearly the reasons why the habit is injurious.
Study the object until there is no lingering doubt
in your mind.
Avoid the places, the persons, and the thoughts
that lead to temptation.
Keep busy. Idleness is the strength of all bad
habits. Do not give up the struggle when you
have broken your resolution once, twice, ten, or
thousand times. That only shows how much ne
cessity there is for you to strive.
When you have broken your resolution, just
think the matter over, and endeavor to understand
why it was you failed, SO that you may be on your
guard against recurrence of the same circum-
stances.
Do not think it little or an easy thing you have
undertaken 1t is folly to expect 10 break up
habit in day, which may have been gathering
strength for years.

THE ART OF DINING AT HoTEL.--The art of din

you can slip quarter into your hand and then

rious manner. But still better plan is to place
your quarter on the table under an inverted wine
glass. The glass plays the part OF convex lens;
the quarter assumes gigantic dimensions, and
John takes it to be a half dollar. The exeftieas
that he makes to secure it are really surprising.
You get well along with your fish before your
neighbours soup plate is removed, and the dessert
chases up chicken with amazing rapidity. Then
at the close of the repast, if you artist and
wish to catch the expression of deep dsappoint-
ment, just remove the glass, return the quarter 10
your pocket, and walk off unconcernedly. John

of anticipation, and there is good reason to believe
that they far exceed those of reality. But never
occupy the same seat again.

An English yrEw OF DEAocRAcY.-T The follow
ing curious language clip from an article in the
London Dispatch, which endeavors to show that
persons living under monarchy are freer than
those residing in a republic:
In the United States the rights of the private
subject are completely merged in the interests
of the community. He has no rights as d pri-
vate citizen. All the privileges he possesses
are concessions by the whole. of his miilionth
share of the common stock of power. Lynch
overrules law wherever law differs from Lynch.
1t is not enough that jury finds man in
noeent; he must be acquitted by public opinion,
or certainly he will be sentenced. It is not'
| even enough that the citizen holds property by
the most certain legal title If the tenure be incnn-
venient to the majority in the of seignaur-
les of New York and Massachusetts, the State Mar

The MISSISSIPPI ELECTIONS. - The late Iaeal
elections in Mississippi have been generally herald
ed forth as indicating great Democratic triumph
in November. The Mississippfan, the central
Brecknridge organ at Jackson said:
The returns. as received at the office Of the Sec
rotary Of State, indicate majority for the Breek
inridge Democracy of about 10000.
The Kinds county Gazette, however, says In
reply that national politics had nothing te do
with the election, and ccnclusively proves II. we
think, by the following statement Of facts:
No State officer was chosen at the late eIection
| (nothing nearer than Judge in one Of the dis-
| tricts, and he ran without oppostion} me mem
| hers OF Congress no Legislators ~ nothing but
county ministerial officers in which elections ID but
rare instances do politics enter in Mississippi We
question either of the parties in solitary county
in the State, had nominated ticket in the ffeld-if
heard OF it. How, then, has the calculation been
made, and published in the official paper as COM
ing from the Secretary or States office that the
Breckinridge majority in the State ii about
20,000?n How is the vote of our county eiassed.
for instance, in this official statement? Kinds
elects Bell Sheriff by 1923 majority; Bell Pro-
bate Judge by ld76 majority Bell Circuit Clerk
by l52I majority Bell Assessor by 1928 majori-
ty; but gives Handy, Breckenridge man. 1893
majority for High Judge; and Bristow, (Breckin-
ridge) SO majority for County Treasurer over his
highest Bell opponent, but making him d minority
Treasurer by 40l votes. The case of Kinds, we
take it. may be regarded as fair sample of what
| politics had to do with the late election in the
State, and hence it is that are at loss to com
prehend how the Secretary Of State and the official
paper at Jackson make up their official announce
ment that the returns received at the office of
| the Secretary of State indicate majority for the
Breckinridge Democracy Of about 20,000,n at the

COUNT CAvouR's MEssAGE.-The important mes
sage delivered by Count Cavour to the Sandman
Parliament at the recent opening of its session is
clear and comprehensive document, reviewing,
up to the point of the convocation of the Cham
bers, the exciting events which have lately occur
red in Italy. Having taken a cursory glance at
the state of affairs in Southern Italy and the Papal
States, Cavour declares that, with the exception
of Venetia, the whole of Italy is free and emanci-
pated from degenerating despotism. Much, how.
ever, he emphatcally states, remains to be done,
and first of all the least sign of anarchy must be
suppressed. Europe and the whole world, he says,
will hold Victor Emanuel responsible the Italians
do not organize government in accordance with
the requirements of law and order. Hence, he has
conyoked the representatives of the Sandman peo
pie, and now asks the power from Parliament to
accede to the wishes of the whole Italian people,
who have so often expressed desire to range
themselves under the banner of the son of Charles
Albert. That wish, however, he proposes to SUBJ
nit again to the universal suffrage of the Italians;
and it by their votes they should clearly show that
their desires were no idle brayado, then he con
templates the annexation of Central and Southern
Italy, so as to form one kingdom with Sardinia.
