THE FIRE ALARM TEfEeH.PH.-We learn that the
Police and Fire Alarm Telegraph will be put in
actual operation on Monday. If not then, it will
be because the operators in the different parts of
tile city are not perfect in their manipulations.
Right pleasant s it to see the genial countenance
of our friend Mr.. Achille Hebert, the Superintend
ent elect, in charge of the central Office and of
the whole telegraph in its numerous ramificatons.
Mr.. Hebert, in procuring the right Of way for the
wires over peoples houses, and in experimenting
the work Of putting up the wires, has performed
labor of which few people have any conception.
| He had more senseless stubbornness and super
stition to encounter and overcome, in getting the
right of way for the wires, than ever beset any
man engaged in similar work. We cannot see
him at the central office without thinking that we
see " the right man in the right place.n Long may
he and the telegraph wave together.
To-day, at the invitation Of Mr.. Gamewell the
| Council Committee who have fathered and hronght
out the telegraph enterprise, are to take carriages
and accompany him around the city a tour Of
inspection at the different police stations and en-
/ gne houses. The press is also invited and the in
vitation we received VIC shall endeavor to honor
| OfESING OF THE OCEAN SPRINGS HOTEL The
new hotel at Ocean Springs, under the manage
ment Of Messrs. Cook Il Hoyt, is to be opened to
the public tomorrow. Ocean Springs is grow
ing place; one of the pleasantest on the Gulf
shore; and the opening Of the new hotel will be a
graf addition to it's other attractions. Those who
| would spend delightful Sunday out of town can
not select more convenient, or agreeable place
| for days visit. Messrs. Cook & Hoyt have our
thanks for an invitation to be present at their
opening. For the information of those who may
feel disposed to go, will state that the steamer
1 Creole will leave the Jefferson Railroad wharf to-
/ day on the arrival of the o'clock cars, and the
Ponchartrain wharf on the arrival of the O'Clock
| cars.
SECOND DISTRICT scHooI ExAAIsATIoSs We
have received an invitation from Madame Dubois
to be present at the examination of her school, the
/ Robertson Girls School, to take place on Monday.
| We shall endeavor to be present.
4 We have found it next to impossible to attend
the examinations thus far, as the better classes
are not examined till late in the afternoon, time
when we have to be looking after other matters
4 Before the examination closes we hope to be able
4 to give something of an account of them.
