so announced in his proclamation, to
be observed as a day of national
thanksgiving. Mayor Elan, of our
city has sanctioned the movement
through a local proclamation, re-
questing on the part Of our citizens
general observance Of the occasion,
by ga general suspension Of business,
an avoidance Of all dissipation and
an earnest attendance upon places Of
worship" An almost entire exemp-
ton from the scourge Of yellow fever
is mentioned by the Mayor as .
special reason why our citizens
should render up their thanks.

% There are some sixty OF
seventy criminal cases on the docket
for trial. in this parish, before the
District Court now in session in oul
city. 1t is very doubtful, amid such
an array of cases claiming precedent
over civil cases in the order of trial,
whether the Court will be able to
reach any of the latter during the
present term. This is difficulty Of
frequent recurrence, and calls loudly
for the reform so repeatedly urged,
namely: that the scores of accumu-
lating petty cases of a criminal ma
ture in all the country parishes,
should be delegated for trial to
courts of subordinate jurisdiction.

SrArIsTIcs.-We find the following
clever bits in the Mobile Nationalist ::
Statistics are all the fashion, aud
the following, furnished by figurist,
are very much so. They may be
commended "to Keep in the cool :"
Out of five hundred persons only
five survive long enough to mind their
own business.
Of every ten men in the street not
more than one has brains enough to
keep from standing gossiping directly
in the middle Of the sidewalk crossing.
Out OF every twelve women one
dozen make themselves up to attract
as much attention as possible, and
then pretend to be angry if they get it.
Out of one hundred persons about
five score don't behave as well as
they require other people to do.
Out Of the fifteen in a street pas
senger railway car about one will in
riding mile conduct himself all the
way just as he ought to-
Out Of large amount of young
people who have never seen anything
of life or the world an equal number
constantly refer to their experience,
Out of eighty young women who's
experience Of life is confined to gossip
ing and flirting with simpletons like
themselves at parties, all except none
are generally Of the opinion that they
have seen an immense amount of hui
mainly.
Out of several dozen people only a
limited number will talk gossip Of
their frieuds, and then kindle up if
they hear it has been talked Of them
selves.
There is only one drunkard to
every seventy-four persons, but the
liquor which the other seventy-three
"chew up" daily would keep half a
dozen Of them drunk as peeps until
the next morning.
Out of one hundred persons six
reach the age Of sixty years, and Of
these five generally behave so as to
make their friends wish they hadn't
