| SEEENADE.-Mayor John 7. Monroe was compli-
mented night before last by his friends, who sere-
naded him at his residence, on Dryades street
After some time spent pleasantly in listening to
the sweet sounds dscoursed" :" by the splendid
band which had been engaged, the chief magis
trate Of the city returned thanks in his usual
happy and genial style, and then invited the party
within doors, where they were Hospitality enter
tanned. The affair was conducted with the spirit
and feeling and whoIeheartedness that invariably
characterize such occasions in the Crescent City.
1t must have been exceedingly gratifying to Mr.
Monroe to be the recipient of demonstration in
dcating SO much friendship and esteem.
GENEROSITY OF PoLITIoIANs.-A few days ago a
young man Of prepossessing appearance and
address, applied to the mayor for certain posi-.
ton and presented warm Recommendation signed
by four prominent officials. Unfortunately for
the applicant, the mayor had already partially
indicated the citizen upon whom be intended to
confer the office and he informed the young man
that he regretted his inability to serve him in the
| otta Hn tha rtic cF
honor to the respectability and influence Of the gen
tlemen who had recommended him, and limited his
doubts if any other applicant could secure such
powerful hackers. He argued the subject SO
persistenty, and dwelt SO repeatedly upon
the powerful influence his standing and con.
duct had secured for him, that the mayor
at last resolved his visitor should not leave the
room under the belief that his friends were exclu
sive in their favors, and he exhibited, to the
amazement of the unsophisticated gentleman, a
cordial recommendation of another party for the
very same place, signed by the very same officials
For moment he stood as if petrifed, then sud
denly slapping his tile on his head, curty made
his adieu and rushed out Of the room, uttering
numerous very emphatic sentences, whether il
condemnation of his own credulity, or in admra
ton of the generosity of his friends, we leave it tt
the reader to guess, not doubling that he will do
as well as any Yankee on this occasion.
