sense OF the word, during He past few years com.
menced to be made up for. After the sun reached
the meridian-but did not reach as soon as desira-
oiethe streets were locked, to use an expression
OF ',poesy," with youths Of various sizes who were
resolved to enjoy as long day as they could. and
by persons OF larger growth and longer age and Of
an adventurous disposition who wished to carni
yaiise as early and as late as possible. Then the
people turned out to see the sights, by hundreds
for some time, but by thousands for a couple
Of hours before the Mistick Krewe were announced
to make their appearance. aS \, Ys5 I

thoroughfares leading to Canal street were throng.
ed BY crowds of both sexes, Of all ages, moving
| quietly, for the crowding would not permit them
| to do otherwise, but steadily towards the great
point Of attraction, the Clay Statue, where il was
known the Krewe would assemble Finding that
| the great boulevard would not accommodate them
the immense gathering Of our citizens and visitors
formed, +" in mass, Il as we may well say, " on the
proposed line" from its extreme right to its ex.

The procession moved as soon as the order
could be given, and preceded by q splendid mill
| tary band, and accompanied by a Corps of freed
men lantern bearers, the Krewe marched in quick
! time on the route, astonishing and convulsing the
younger portion of the community with laughter,
and afording pleasant surprise and rare enjoy
ment to older folks.
The Krewe moved up Camp street to Julia,
down Julia to St. Charles, down ST. Charles to the
Municipal Hail. where they paid their respects to
his Honor the Mayor, and were received in a
! courteous and hospitable manner after which
they proceeded to the Varieties Theater, where
the celebration was continued, and an account of
which will be found in our editorial column 5g1g8
The outside Mardi Gras festivities on the streets
in the various ball rooms, and elewhere, were
Kept up until almost the hour when daylight did
appear. y @l3s9 E&.3; 'itta1GY NE
Many scenes of violence, it might be expected
would have occurred, but we are pleased to say
that such was not the case.
OUTRAGE BY NEGRO SoLDIER.-A negro soldier
whose name we did not learn, acted in most
outrageous and violent manner about o'clock
last evening. He went into yard near the corner
OF Magazine and Julia Streets carrying bayonet
in his hand, and uttered the most sangninary
threats against white people generally. He then
went into an alley way, and assaulted youth and
stabbed him in the cheek with the weapon he
had. woman who saw the occurrence called
for some one TO arrest the fellow, and citizen j
henry took him into custody. Another negro
of the offender, but Henry refused to comply
and was only enabled to bring his prisoner away
by representing that he had the authority of day
police officer. Being joined by citizen Henry
and delivered him over to officer Davis of the First
District police. The officer was conducting the
prisoner along Magazine street when he was met
BY colored squad Of the provost guard, who
forced Davis to give up the offender. We pre-
sumo the matter will be brought to the notice of
the military. by the civil authorities, for the
| conduct Of the fellow is represented to merit the
seyerest censure and punishment. is5
DoN'r Go UNDER This is good advice, as a
general thing, butwe mean it in this instance to
have practical application. The gallery of the
building at the corner Of St. Charles and Lafayette
streets used as the First District police office, is
in dangerous condition, and liable to fall at any
moment. We would suggest that as it is neither
useful nor ornamental, and has assumed danger
GUS and suspicious character, that it be abolished.
| CHARTREs STREET IN REouEsT.-Since the City
Railroad Company lave commenced laying track
down Old Levee street. Charities street is in great
request by those engaged in the transportation
| business. During the busy hours of the day every
description of vehicle, from the ARREST of buggies
to the cotton drays of mammoth proportions, may
be seen vending their way up or down town, and
generally the slow gait is slow, for the thorough
fare is narrow, and every block or two coding
takes place, and then " left.handed prayers u are
uttered that would do credit to that army that was
so celebrated for profanity. great deal of skill
full handling. of the lines is necessary to get
through without rubbing violently against ones
neighbor. 5N'N #Ha @-'5a
ARRESTS Charles Williams, colored, was ar
rested last evening in the Second District by officer
hfcGuire, on charge of attempting to rob Michael
Rourke on Charities street.
Etienne Branzar, of the Slst US. colored infan-
try, was taken into custody by officer Devonshire
on Levee street, Second District, on charge of
committing an assault and battery on John Rice.
BADLY kJuRED-During the crowding that took

Williams, of the First District police was struck in
the head with stick by some person unknown to
him, and rather severely hurt. The assailant suc-
ceeded in making his escape. yt7 fga l,- u!
SHooTING---A man was shot about o'clock last
night, near the corner of Camp and Girod streets,
it is alleged, by person, who was one of the mem
bers of the socalled Legislature of 1864, and who
figured prominently, not long ago, in the papers
in regard to eeetioneerng business. 1t is said that
some flour was thrown on him. that he went away,
and returned after procuring pistol, and shot the
man whom he supposed had thrown the -four He
getaway at the time, but the police on his track
we presume. The wounded man was conveyed to
the Charity Hospital. g-.r,l+.f -..E,
M0ntegut street, between Moreau and Leyee, was
entered about hafpast O'Clock yesterday morn
ing and robbed of about $500 worth of clothing
The thieves entered by window in the rear of the
premises. The scOundrels, not content with taking
all they could carry, set fire to a chest full Of
clothing, which we presume they were unable to
| carry Off The fire was fortunately discovered in
time to prevent any serious damage being done.
