In A FREEZING SrArE.-A man this
morning was found on the bluff in half
frozen state. His condition was indeed
nitiable to behold -old, shriveled up in
sppearance, naked and without friends;
a man without an object or aim in life,
living and breathing out an existence,
then TO die and rot like an animal. This
is a specimen of many in our city, who
during the day hide in their holes like
bets or owls, and when night comes they
ace seen to slip and skulk around in
baIcfamished state, apparently avoiding
tbe ewes Of their better conditioned neigh

A SrsrERLY FIGHr-This morning a
number of sisters belonging to the church
were up before his honor, the Commits
sioner Of Police, for having engaged IN
the very pious amusement of q little
shindig. Sister Jennie had used some
hard words about Sister Mary, VINO
prayed that the dear woman would re-
tract what she had said; but Jennie, not
seeing things ia that light, refused, and
ihereupon Mary dealt her q gentle re-
eu;nder in the way of blow that the Bible
commandments prohibit backbiting and
speaking evil Of your neighbor, which
Jennie did not take for Bible truths,
Judging from the way she returned the
blows. In their cooler moments this

Commissioner, they both acknowledged
their wrong with Christian humility, and
were fued ten dollars each, aud passed

himself to abide by the decision-he, OF

not until the ballot was against him that
hs discovered the many objections so

rms to the newspapers for the aid and

duct of Mr.. Magsvpey, who, though
not pledged, came f6rwarS and ac-

his abuse Of Alderman MeDavitt, who was
not there, aud did not belong to the

A SUGGESTION IT PAY p To
lessen the expenses to which Taxpayers
are subjected, we would propose that the
Gayoso House be purchased by the
county and city and federal governments
and substituted for the many halls and
rooms now devoted to public service.
The Gayoso could accommodate all the
courts, and even hold Barbour Lewis.
1t would furnish Barbour and his Scribes
and Pharisees with Offices; and if these
people who devote themselves with such
remorseless savagery to the business OF
plundering the people, sought to reduce
public burdens, the enormous rents paid
by the county and city for absurd courts
would be saved by investing in the Gay.
oso House, which may perhaps be
bought on very reasonable terms. 1t is
certainly useless to its proprietors, will
soon 20 to decay, and since it is very i'm.
portant TO get the lawyers together, and
to remove them from temptation to which
they are subjected by the attractions OF
