sT A lawyer, who always made
it a point to win his case, was ap-
piled to by a man who had stolen
some pork to defend him. Accord
ingly. in his usual inventive way, he
ruined the principal evidence on
which the plaintiff relied, and the
jury brought in verdict of not
guilty. After the verdict was de-
clared, as the fellow was leaving the
court, he whispered to his attorney,
thus:
Squire, what shall ! do with the
pork, for l have got it YETI
Eat it, replied the lawyer, for the
jury say you did not steal it.

e. Gen. Sheridan has issued an
order resembling a former order sus.
pending the duties of the Board of
Levee Commissioners appointed. by
himself, and directing them to re-
sumo said duties. Gov. Flanders
having returned from Washington, it
is presumed he will sign the leyee
bonds, and that the Commissioners
will proceed to devise some early
measures for the reconstruction of the
broken levees.
Mr.. I. Leon, civil engineer of New
Orleans, submitted some time ago to
Gen. Sheridan proposition to build
the levees by labor to be furnished
by the prisoners now in keeping of
the State ESTIMATED to be about
eight hundred men), whereby the
cost for the work required for leyee
purposes would be greatly reduced
The New Orleans Bee says that in
his proposition, Mr.. Leon estimates
the cost of repairing Grand Leyee at
100000, while the cost of last years
abortive attempts at repairing the
same Levee amounted TO about
$4,000.

DlsoRDERLY SOLDIERS. About o'clock
las; night, a party Of four Of the 18th Reg.
ulars, in a state Of intoxication, disturbed
the peace and quiet Of College street, north
of theSquare, by noisy demonstrations and
rude behavior to persons on the street.
They entered Mike FOley's saloon, near
the Nashville and Louisville Railroad De-
pot, demanded liquor and, when refused,
announced their intention 20 take what

was not exactly what Foley was inclined

attention TO the hsck-men who we're there
with their hacks, awaiting the arrival Of
the Louisville train. They drove a num-
Der of the hack-men from their seats by
sioning them, and were greatly elated with
their success. But just at this time Capt

appeared 10 dispute the right Of the dis
