which disgusted everybody during the past week, a
came to grand finale on Saturday night with a
regular old-fashioned rain, and yesterday morning b
the sun come out as warm and clear as he ever DID
in May. There is no mistake about it, We are d
having extraordinary weather this winter. VINO '
ever heard of such warm and pleasant fall and C
winter as we have had! 1t seems to have been \
special dispensation of Providence, on account OF
the high price of coal At least, we look upon the
weather in that light, and don't care how long the
warm weather continues, either ,
THE GULF GUARDs.-This fine company was out

pRAwrsGs OF THE FREE GIFT LorTERY.-The
newsboys are doing brisk business, selling the
official lists of the drawings OF the Free Gift Lot
terry each morning, as they appear. The price Is
five cents, and as almost everybody in the city is
interested, the sale is very large indeed The idea
to publish these lists officially is like all that the
committee who control the great enterprise has
DONE wise in every particular, for it not only will
be the means of realizing handsome sum, but
will prevent mistakes and disputes, for were the
lists to be published unoficialy, it is not mpos.
sble for mistakes to creep in them, and these
might cause serious disappointment and perhaps |
hard feelings. "S"
REG1MESrAL REVIEW THIS AFTERNOON. Brig. |
Gen. Labuzan will inspect and review the Sumter
Regiment, the First Volunteer Regiment of his
Brigade, this afternoon. the levee, at the head
of Gravier street. The Sumter Regiment is
fine body of troops, and has been drilled up to
the present time by that accomplished tactican,
Prof. platosz. We are sure, therefore, that Gen.
Labuzan will be pleased with it.
| THE GRAND REVIEW ON THE EIGHTH.-The grand
| inspection and review of the armed and uniformed
| troops Of the First Division, which has been or
dered for the Sth inst, is creating no little excite
men in military circles, and we are glad TO see III
dicatons that officers straining every nerve to
turn out their corps with full ranks The fact that
only armed troops are to be inspected and re-
viewed will keep back great number OF compa-
i Mes as few of the regiments are entirely armed,
and many of them have hardly arms enough to put
one in the hands of every third man. Yet such is
the pride that officers to take in the matter
that we will not be surprised to see many compa
MES turn out with shot guns and rifles which the
members have borrowed from friends for the oc-
casion; and we will here remark that persons
f owning arms which might be serviceable on the
! sth, should by all means come forward and loan
them. We understand, aso that the General-ln-
Chief intends enforcing strict obedience in regard
to the hour when the review is to begin. He says
10 O'Clock and officers rely on it that he means
what he says, and will punish tardness to the full
e extent of his power.
HEAyY RoBBERy.-A butcher of the French
:. Market got on breeze on Saturday night, visit
e ing many of the popular drinking establishment:
of the lower part of the Second District and having
jolly time generally, treating his friends to brandy
straights, cocktails and punches. at one Of th'
II, drinking shops he visited, he met with yount
man of very engaging manners, for whom he soo'
formed warm friendship. This new made frien'
: seemed formed after his own heart-they dran]
,t the same drinks-ate the same number of oyster
:, and hard-boed eggs-and, in fact, seemed to tn n
and act alike on every subject. After going roun
. together for several hours, it occurred to tn
: butcher that it was about time that he should be
,r gin to think of nights lodging, and he told hi
friend that he had come to the conclusion to 6
to home, as he lived far up town. and it would tax
Il. him some time to get there.
His friend would not hear Of separation an
to | proposed that both should go to his room, whc
G was only few squares off, where there was larg
double bed, and sleep together. Our butcher wa
;r tired and almost in condition to make bed of
or paving stone so consented, and they started ft
: the strangers room. After going through sever
IA. dark streets and threading several blind alley
ar the room was at last reached, and they went 10
.s ingy to bed and locked in each others arms, wei
soon asleep; at least the butcher was. Next NOR

surprise him much, and he prepared to dress hir
self and go home. But when he picked up b

rn specton discovered that he had been robbed of
the money he had started out with the day befor
ot This astonished him, for he had $500 in gold, S
in silver change and over s4O0 in good bills. Abo
this time he began to suspect his dear friend
at the night previous, and thought that the circu

ing somehow were connected together. Dressi

mi. brushes, he went Immediately to special ofic
M. Boullosa, and stated his complaint That indiv

for him to do so. We would advise Mr.. Butcher to

uar an inveterate rogue, and no mistake. Hardl
and week passes without his being up for some out
fore geous conduct or thievpg but in spite of tn
facts he still manages to get,bail and be relea

amp week two ago. and attempted to take the life
the officer who arrested him, and after getting b
this he boasted that he would be arrested no mo

ock, charge against him be what it may.
