was shortly afterwards arrested and charge was
preferred against him of disturbing the peace
Mr. Canton, Sr., afterwards nterceded with Recor.
der Gastinel for Linehan, and had him released
without fine. He owed at the time S46 for board
The proprietor of the house told Linehan that
he would cancel the debt against him if he would
leave the house. Linehan still persisted in coming
around the premises and annoying everyone, until
he came in contact with a man named Thomas
Quinlan and had serious disturbance with him,
when Mr.. Canton, sr., ended the matter by kick.
ing Linehan out of the house. LiDehan then
walked up to the police station remarking before
ne went that if he had known that he had knife
about him, which it now appeared that he had,
ne would have used it. Linehan then made
the charge of an assault with intent to murder,
for which Mr.. Canton gave bonds to answer in
$3.50.
The neighborhood, the same party informs us,
has been purged Of the class of population which
formerly gave it such notoriety. There is now
but one house occupied by abandoned women
upon Gaatin street, and these we hear are in fair
way of soon being removed.

An Employee of .he o1den TING.

There is now in the service of the Pontchartrain
Railroad an old negro by the name of Daniel Will
son, whom we believe has labored for more years
in the railroad business than any man now living.
The Pontchartrain ranks as among the oldestrall-
roads now in existence, and Daniel has devoted
his talents to its service from the second year of
its completion. He commenced in 1884, and has
thus been following the business for thirty five
years. During all of this time he has been
either a train hand or switch tender. He
has never been absent from his post but
twice, he tells US; once for five months,
when Butler came here, and when he turned
fool" as he expresses it; and upon another occa-
sion, when he obtained leave of absence to visit
his native State, Virginia. Daniel is extremely
proud of being Virginian, and he still speaks of
his first master General Elisha Boyd, as the most
polished of all possible men. His general pos
ton is that no one can well be gentleman out
side of that State.) But his visit, like that OF
the Grecian heroes, who were Z" carried back .
home after their wanderings ended in regrets, and
Daniel realized, in his own case the doubtful
policy of ever returning to our first love Nearly
all of his old friends were dead or scattered, and
the new generation of colored people, he says
disgusted him with their lack of breeding ant
ignorance. He is still in the employ of the rail
road, and expects to end his days in the company's
service

Building In Haste.

Passing through Felicity street yesterday, we
observed mechanics and laborers busily at work
erecting house. The noise of hammer and saw
was perhaps an annoyance to the neighborhood
on that day, but if the disturbance of sabbatarian
tranquility is at any time justifable, it is at
present, when tenants are as anxiously seeking
TOR houses as landlords are desirous of beginning
to pocket rents. A days delay, however, could
not harm either side much and the labor on this
occasion could scarcely be work of necessity.

Arrival of a French ,yon or xvon

The corvette Adonis, Of the French marine,
which arrived at this port on the 6th is anchored
in the river nearly opposite the cathedral, and
the tricolor was yesterday gaily floating over
her black hull by more than one curious observer
upon the levee. couple of boats, also adorned
with the French colors, were plying during the
day between her and the shore, sometimes carry
ing across visitors or bringing back some of the
crew and officers The uniform of the latter is
very similar to that of the United States navy but
an experienced observer can easily detect the
French traits at the distance of square.

a Part NOS Put Down In the BIIls

There have been couple of large houses at the
St. Charles for the last two evenings, the style OF
acting has been sharp, vigorous and incisiye, and
the audience, by more than one plaudit repeated
three times over, have manifested their satisfac.
ton at the progress of matters but in spite of the
three performances of last night the drama of life
was not solely enacted upon the stage. The chap
ter of contreteps which are not down upon the bills
has already begun. During the performance of
the " Bull in China Shop one of the audience,
who had to be removed by the police, was prac-
tcally playing the part in front of the curtain
and not long after the obnoxious party had been
elected, another of the spectators was seized with
fainting fit in the middle of the parquette. He
was carried out of the auditorium and into the en-
trance as rigid as corpse, and it was only after
the application of various remedies and violent
struggles that he was ultimately sufficiently re-
stored to be carried home.
Apropos of nothing, Mr.. Ben DeBar makes his
first appearance t6night.

Public Lectures for the Winter Season.
There was meeting Friday evening last Of the
committee upon the city library, at which, we are
pleased to learn from Mr.. Ducroux, the librarian,
course of lectures during the coming winter
season was definitely resolved upon, to commence
some time in November, and to be given at the
Lyceum Hall. Lectures of this kind might be made
of very great interest, and we have no doubt
would draw together large concourse of our
citizens, if the proper men selected as lectur-
ers. If some of our well known and prominent
speakers, like Messrs. Soul6, Hunt and Gayarre,
would undertake to do this kindness for the pub
lie, and speak to US the many interesting topics
connected with the history of this city and State
for which task nobody would be better qualified
we venture to promise that our merchants and
principal business men would be willing to close
their ledgers once in while and come as grateful
and willing listeners. Our best orators have here
tofore confined themselves too much to dry dis.
cussions of politics. but the public have never
shown themselves Indifferent to themes of equal
Importance, where the same amount Of intellect
was brought to bear in their discussion: and
now thatwe are to have little to do with the
matter of government, we hope our representative
men will show the versatility of their talents and
their acquaintance with polite literature, by
telling us Of their pleasant memories of the
past, or Intervening the scholars lore with
practical hints about our every day affairs.

lecture by Reverend Father Il. Kane..

Lecture by Reverend Father H. Kane,
This gentleman delivered a lecture last evening
in St. Patricks schOol-house for the benefit of St.
Patrick's conference of the society of ST. Vincent
de Paul. an association of laymen organized for
charitable purposes The evening was unpleas
antly warm, yet the room was crowded. The OBJ
Ject OF the lecture was to show the paramount ne
cessity of religion for the stability and order of
society, and to prove that statutory laws are an
inferior element in the conservation Of virtue and
promoting human happiness. The ability,
learning and eloquence Of the lecturer were
shown in the mastery manner in which
he acquitted himself. The thesis, in ordi.
nary hands, would fail to command general
interest, but was treated by Father Kane in such
manner asst absorb the attention Of his hearers
from beginning to end of the discourse, which oc-
cupied nearly an hour and half He was often
and warmly applauded, in his exposition of the
social and political vices of the day and his illus.
trations showing the need Of charity in government
as well as private relations. 1t was, however,
when touching upon the present unhappy condf-
ton of the SQpth, he drew from history examples
of conquered peoples, ultimately, by moral and
intellectual superiority giving laws literature and
religion to their conquerors, that his audience, be-
holding the great future, distant as it might be,
greeted him with the greatest enthusasm-an en-.
thusiasm which showed the depth of the feelings
he had moved.

THE FENIAN RESOLUTIONS. The mes
sage of the President, delivered to the
House in response to the two resolutions
in behalf of the Fenians, sent to him,
has rather taken the wind out of the sails
of the Congressional party. The resolu-
tons were simply intended as a bid for
Irish votes, by manifesting an extraordi-
nary interest in the fate of the recent Fe-
nian raiders upon the border. 1t appears,
from the response of the President, that
the suddenly anxiety of Con-
gress in reference to these unfortunate
persons had long ago been anticipated 10y
the Executive, and that the desired action
in behalf OF the Fenian prisoners in Can
ada, and the Fenians indicted in the Uni
ted States courts for breach Of neutral
ity laws, had long since been taken, with
out waiting fer the growth Of Congress
ional sympathy in their favor. This pure
ly electioneering artifice has, therefore,
not only failed in its design, but has SER
we'd to bring to the attention OF the Feni-
ans, who are just now so assiduously
courted by the Reyolutionists, the fact
that the President had promptly, ano
without suggestions from Congress or else
where, instituted proceedings for relief
and release of all the participators in tht
Fenian raid, who had been placed in ar
rest on either side Of the line.

How THEY CARRY OUT THEIR PROM
IsEs.-''Brick" Pomeroy was on visit
lately to Washington. In writing to his
paper he says; We look in vain in the
different departments for the one-armed
crippled or veteran soldiers, who were to
be rewarded by the Republican party.
The one-armed heroes are not popular
The left-hand writers are not there. Once
in a while we found a poor widow in
some Of the departments merely to build
a newspaper article on for consumption.
But we found hundreds of negroes about
these oliices-opening and shutting doors,
as if those who passed through could not
wait on themselves-we found these dus-
ky lambs of Abraham answering bell
calls everywhere-we saw them in the
gallery of Congress, scratching their dirty
heads, chewing peanuts, and smiling ap-
proval on their Radical deliverers. And
we saw One-armed, one-legged, and other
wise mutilated white soldiers, selling ap-
pies, peanuts, papers, and such stuff on
the streets--generously provided for by
