dar, Palm Sunday, q day largely observed by the
Catholic persuasion, and also the LIST of April, or
ALL Fools day, which is observed more or less by
the whole population.
Great quantities Of the green leaves which are
used to represent palm, and of palm ITSELF wrought
into fanciful shapes were visible in front of the
Catholic churches, and in the hands of the multi
tudnous devotees, women, boys, and children. The
weather was altogether lovely, and the whole po-
pulation appeared to be out enjoying it.
As All Fools day, it was largely celebrated.
Boys, girls and Higgers were sent flying around on
oil sorts of FOOLS errands; valuable looking paper
parcels and otherlpackages were found lying about
til estreets; many husband and brother at break
fast found himself trying to eat oysters of cotton
fried in butter; we heard enough to know that
these sort Of things were extensively carried on.
During the forenoon, man stood across the
street, opposite Office, looking steadily at the
sun through piece Of glass. He kept on gazing
until a crowd of fifteen or twenty people had col
lected to gaze at him, when he threw away the
glass and walked off whistling.
Numerous persons went to the corner OF ST.
Charles and Canal streets, to look at the bronze
statue Of Clay which they heard had been placed
on its granite pedestal during the night; but they
found nary Clay!
This reporter was offered, by friends, all kinds OF
valuable hints about murders, duels, robbefies,
and other exciting things, which he received as in
duty bound, in honor of the day.
Some one tried to sell the Coroner by leaving at
his office the following notes
"The CORONER will please call soon as possible
at 127 Customhouse street. A little child off Mr.. l..
T. RAFT was almoste torn to pieces by big dog
and died this morning about ii O'Clock.
The fun was begun on st. Charles street quite
early; in fact, before April was an hour old.
Charley L, on his way home, comfortable with
the sundry " nigktcaps" he had taken, was pass
ing the City Hall, when Waterman stopped him
and told him that Mcclure, or :. Sam" had just
been taken into the lookup. Charley loves Sam,
he does he likes his oysters and things. Charley
boted into the police. office, and inquired; Frank
Ames, the night-clerk, told him it was so. Charley
wanted copy of the charge; there was none |;
Frank said they had not given him the charge, as
it was probable the matter would be settled quietly
without the necessity of entering anything on the
books. Charley inquired for the Mayor, the Re-
corder, and the Chief Of Police; told that the
latter might be found at some of the Clubs; and
away he went.
At one or two of the Clubs, it is probably known
what noise Charley made in his fruitless search
for the Chief. He gave up the hunt at last, but
was determined not to go to bed whilst Mcclure
was in the Lookup. He went to Dick Murphy's,
and after some trouble got Capt. Dick out of his
bed. Dick loves Sam, too, he does he addressed
himself in hot haste jerking on his pants and shoes,
and putting merely his coat on over his undershrt
then off he flew for the Lookup, with his suspend
ers dangling beneath his coat tail. All breathless,
he asked Frank Arnes what Mcclure was in for
Frank replied, For being out on the first of
| April" Capt Dick at once turned to Charley, and
said " You DID, but it is unnecessary to de-
! tail what he said. Sufis to say" that he gave
the equally innocent Charley very early Palm
Sunday blessing, and went back to his bed, whilst
Charley, without saying word, resumed his soil
tary march, and homeward wendell hisweary way
| feeling that somebody had come, like the cows in
Gray's Elegy, winding slowly DER the Leaf
| An actor at the St. Charles Theater heard, just
after twelve o'clock, that one of the doorkeepers
had been nppered and jagged for knocking man
down. He went flying to the Lookup; the streets
were slippery from the little rain that had fallen
as he bounced on the banquette in front of the
Lookup, his treacherous heels betrayed him. and he
hasn't seated himself on a hard-bottomed chair
|
ment, and after finding out that it was the first Of
/ April in the morning, he mizzled.
| The alarm of fire at one in the morning was an
| April fool alarm, which evoked many pious ejac
ulation from the breathless runners, when they
| found ont what day of what month it was.
