We havcno personal acquaintance with the
author Of the following. but will venture that
he Is not only u "poick." but u man Of en-
cccding good sense:
When trade grew slack aud notes fell due,
the merchants face grew long and blue; his
dreams were troubled through the night with
shcrifi's bailiffs all IN sight. At last his
wife unto him said: Rise up ut once,
get ont Of bed. and gct your paper, ink and
pen. aud say these words unto all men:
my goods wish to sell to you. aud to your
wife aud daughters too; my prices are so very
low that each will buy before they CO."

AT LAST.

1t is with much pleasure that we chronicle
the recent waking up of the City Council to
something like true sense of the vital i'm
portance of attracting to this place the vast
grain trade of the West At their session on
Tuesday night last, they passed an ordinance
granting to the New Orleans Elevator Com
pany, for fifteen years, the exclusive use of the
landing in front of their warehouse now
building. The company are determined to
push the work ahead as rapidly as possible,
but very naturally and Justly, ask that the
city grant to them facilities in the prosecution
Of an enterprise, by the success of which,
the whole of New Orleans will be SO much
benefited For sometime it seemed very
doubtful whether the eyes of the city fathers
would not remain obstinately closed to the
city's best interests; and now that they have
at last decided to do what every business man
in New Orleans long ago saw the necessity of
doing, viz. {: to foster by every means the
direction to this town of the Western trade.
we hail the event with joy as the Inaugural
ton of new era. But had the council re-
manned ever so stupid, had they not granted
a'single privilege, they could not have altered
one whit the complexion of the future; for by
the aid of our council or in spite of them,
with the encouragement of our merchants, or
without, New Orleans must be the market
where the farmers of the West sell their grain
and buy their supplies. Indifference and
criminal disregard of our own interests may
retard the era of our prosperity, but it must
come. Let then, our merchants and capt.
talists set to work now to obtain share in
trade SO lucrative. Delay will throw the
business, and with it the profits, into the
hands of others. Go to work now, gentle
men, if you do not want to take back seats
hereafter

Picnic FOR THE 0RPHANs.-There will be
picnic given to the orphans, on next Satur-
day, by the children of Carrollton Sabbath
School The orphans invited are those from
the Boys Asylum, of which Dr. Mcpherson
is the president, and of the Poydras Female
Asylum, of which Mrs. Luzeuburg is presi-
dent, both of which asylums are now located
in jefferson City. On the arrival of the A.
NJ. horse cars from the city, there will be held
in the Carrollton Presbyterian Church literary
exercises, consisting of speeches, dialogues
and singing, by the children of the school /;
after which they will adjourn to the Carrollton
Gardens, take their lunch, and spend the rest
of the day in amusements.
Any of our citizens who can interest them
selves in contributing to the enjoyment of the
little ones are invited to attend. And all who
feel disposed to contribute provisions or con-
fectionery, can give notice to Mr. Latting, 81
Carondelet street, or intrust them to the
starter Of the Carrollton cars, at Canal and
Baronne streets, or at the horse station, who
will send them to the care of Dan. Hickok,
ESQ.,, at the Carrollton Gardens. We are in
formed that the literary exercises will be of
an unusually interesting character. Any pro-
visions left over from the picnic will be di-
vided between the asylums, so that no one
need fear of sending too much.

Minister Bancroft has not, it seems, settled
the naturalization question very satisfactorily
with Prussia. 1t is true that Prussia, after a
fashion, abandons her claim to the allegiance
of her subjects, after becoming citizens of
the United States; but she has secured ano-
ther point which will be found to work very
inconveniently for Americans residing within
her limits. 1t seems that by the treaty the
United States recognize a lapse of citizenship
on the part of Americans residing two years
in Prussia; after that time the Prussian gov
eminent may claim these residents as sub
jects. and impose on them all the obligations
of Prussian subjects. This entirely ignores
the American doctrine which requires the
will or consent of the person to concur with
the operation of law in working a change Of
citizenship and allegiance; so that if Prussia
has been obliged to yield one point, the
United States have yielded another and a far
more important point.

MIR. pRvIs's TRIAL.

The New York Herald advises Mr.. Davis to
trial by the radicals, who, according to the
Herald, are resolved TO sacrifice him in order
to draw public attention from the outrage in
volved in the conviction and removal of the
President The Herald says: ave have
hitherto warned Mr. Davis of the necessity
these fellows would presently be under to
kill somebody" But if it is necessary to kill
somebody in order to appease raging popu-
lar thirst for blood, the American people are
surely sunk in the depths of unmitigable de-
pravity. Such an estimate of the character
Of this people is equivalent to declaration
that they are unfit for liberty, and would, if
true, leave very little hope of rescuing the
country from the grasp of the tyrannical and
vindictive faction by whom 1t is now con-
trolled. But if it is true that the reac-
ton against the Republican party has
been caused by the reckless violence
of radicalism, another act of violence, more
shocking to the spirit of the age than even
those already perpetrated, would only stimu-
late the reaction. The radicals would GER
tainly bring Mr.. Davis to the gallows if his
death would benefit their party, or advance
their projects; but such an act would only
draw upon them the detestation of the coun-
try, and still further weaken their rapidly
diminishing forces. The suggestion of the
Herald that the immolation of Mr.. Davis
would be accepted as a compensation for the
removal of Mr.. johnson, is a base libel on the
character of the American people. And,
after all, the advice thus rendered to Mr..
Davis is equally as insulting 10 him as to the
country. To suppose that the Confederate
ex-President would meanly forfeit his bonds,
and violate his plighted honor, even in order
to save his life, is far more unjust to him than
to call him a"rebel and traitor.

MALE FRIENDS KISSING AT PARTING The
Boston Post defends Mr.. Fields in his kissing en-
brace with Mr.. Dickens. Ii says that a class of
writers for the press have taken it upon them
selves to attempt to throw rdicule on the final
parting Of two such warm friends and manly men
Mr.. Dickens, and Mr.. Fields Of this city. Those
who might have known anything of the nature Of
their friendship, or their natural warmth aud
strength Of feeling, would never have questioned
the sincerity Of any circumstances connected
with their devastating, which manifested itself
at the last moment. For close male friends to
kiss and embrace at parting, and at meeting, Is a
common Continental custom. Had either of these
long time friends stopped 10 question the preju.
dces or the ignorance Of those around them, the
sincerity Of their attachment might reasonably be
doubted. OF the manly nature Of Mr.. Dickens,
profoundly emotional as il is, are not called on
TO speak; and IL is enough TO say of his abiding
friend, Mr.. Fields, thst he could never occupy the
relationship he VIGOROUSLY does 20 the great
author, he lacked In those same strong and deep
qualities Of character for which the latter il dis
tiDguisbed. For the reputation Of journalism, it
Is 10 be hoped that no more such silly and unjust
paragraphs will be published on a subject which
Is so purely private and personal.

ENGLISH CoUkT GossIP.-The memoirs OF the
late Baron Bunsen. recently published, contain
good deal Of gossip about Queen Victoria. Wri-
ting from Windsor Castle on one occasion, the
baron says: "Tbe queen is quite different from
the representation / had heard Of her, speaking
with much animation, encouraging conversation,
relishing fun. We passed q cheerful evening in
playing cards with the queen. won new shil-
ling of her msjesty's special coin. which Fanny
shall have TO keep" In another letter, he says:
"-he queen looked well and rsyonnsnte, with that
expression that she always has when thoroughly
pleased with all that occupies her mind-which
you know l always observe with delight, as
fraught with that truth add reality which so es-
sentially belong TO her character aud so strongly
distinguish her countenance. In all its changes,
from the mixed mask only 100 common In the roy.
al rank Of society" At another time he observes:
THE queen often spoke with me about education,
and, in particular, Of religious instruction. Her
views are very serious, but at the same time ibe-
raj and comprehensive. She, as well as Prince
Albert, hates all Journalism"

THE ENGLISH MINISTRY.

The latest dispatches leave the situation of
the English ministry in doubt. Disraei had
it seems, rendered his resignation, which the
queen had declined to accept. This means
of course, that Disrael does not intend to
give up the government if he can help it.
Nevertheless it is impossible for him to go on
with a Parliament thoroughly hostile to him,
and evidently intractable. An English admin
istration cannot be conducted under such cir
cumstances. The only recourse is to dissolve
Parliament and appeal to the country. But
the expedient of dissolution is resorted to
only when parties are so nicely balanced that
there may be a reasonable doubt as to which
side represents the public opinion of the ma
ton. In this case there is no such doubt.
The majorities against the ministry have been
so large that there is no room for cavil or
misinterpretation. 1t is perfectly plain
that the Tory party do not represent public
opinion, and just as plain that the Liberal
majority reflect the views, feelings and wishes
of the country. This point seems to have
been urged with great emphasis by Mr. Glad
stone. That gentleman declares that disso-
luton of Parliament under such circum-
stances would be unprecedented, and would
place the ministry in an attitude Of hostility
to the country. If Disrael insist on remain
ing in Office in spite of the voice of Parliament,
a strange and anomalous spectacle in modern
English history will be presented govern
ment attempting to govern in opposition to
Parliament; and Parliament resolved to
consummate measures against which the
ministry is persistently struggling. Such a
situation has, hitherto, been considered i'm
possible, because it is violative of that body
of custom which is called the English Consti-
tuition; but it seems that there, as well as
here, minority may override the Constitu-
ton and defy the country-but for how long?
