New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-08-23

6. Climate. On this subject l merely In
close file Of the Picdyune. The theme
you will there find to have been thoroughly
exhausted. The prevailing wind" now,
is that blown from the lungs Of Democratic
orators, who have blown so hard and long
that the editors of their own party are now
begging them to desist. "The next gale
that sweeps from the North" to use the Ian
guage of Patrick Henry, will blow from the
Pennsylvania election, and will rather as
touish these high flown gentry.
7. agriculture. The plants and fruit which
seem best adapted to our soil and climate
are cocograss wild plans, and forbidden
fruit" The last is raised in great guam
titles and devoured with avidity. A large
trufie or mushroom has made its appear
ance lately in our windows, and is called the
'Horatio Seymour" 1t has smooth,
puffy, bald-headed look, which gives prom
Use of succulence and sap.
1.-THE facilities for market" are fine at
present. A man can sell himself in Caron-
delet street three times a day. A Demo
cratic legislator can be bought for from $50
to s5O0O according toquality. 'An,Alderman
brings from 81 so to $1,000. An internal
revenue official is worth from 800 to 500,
600, according to rank.
s. Manufactures. Our manufactures are
flourishing. Claret is made here for six bits
dozen. Champagne is made in large
quantities. An enterprising Sicilian is
engaged largely in the manufacture
OF counterfeit nickles. Tie fabrica,
ton of rumors and reports, OF falla-
cies and fancie,, by the Camp street press,
goes on with undiminished vigor. For
example, the Times of to day states editori-
ally that gold is going up, on account of the
Vaccinations of the Radicals, when every.
body knows it is going down, and only went
up on account of Democratic threats of
Reputation.
Q. Archaeology. We can furnish quite a
number of " skeletons" if desired, or at
least, drawings of such. They have been
sent in large numbers to decent gentlemen,
in letters signed X. X. K, accompanied
with obscene and badly-speled threats.
They are interesting exponents of our civil
ization. In regard to Specimens OF pot.
terry" I refer you to the following interest
ing pottery" from the Sunday Times,
written by Adolphus Addlepate, the bard of
Jackson street.

With weary eye,
And why, oh why
The nymph divine

In vain. For mine
The girl divine
Doth still decline

Oh, misery

As for implements of warfare" we have
the gimlet knife, the dagger, and the re.
volver. A still more common implement in
politics is mud which abounds in the gut
tiers of Camp street. The powers of mud,
are well known and wonderful. If you can
not reply to the arguments of an
opponent throw mud at him. Call
him renegade" aud "scallawag."
And especially, if he owns more
property, AMI pays his debts more punctual-
ly than you do, call him "mendicant 10y
alist." The method is pretty, and may be
carried out without the least expenditure,
either of brains or trouble.
As for mounds, there are plenty of such
in our uptown streets piles of dirt of every
form and every variety of odor The Street
Commissioner and the doctors can tell you
more about them.
Very respectfully,
