Frozen 80 Death.
Several of our old friends in Jackson
square were, early yesterday morning,
frozen to death, and in the sunshine lay
prone on the earth, limp aud damp. We
refer to our exotic vegetable friends that
but day ago were in blooming health and
clothed in shining green. But the severe
weather was too unkind for them, and they
are no more. Even the statue typical of
winter, In the northern corner of the square,
looked as if Just CONCEALED, and was satisfied
in the situation. As for the poor little
marble girls representing summer and
spring, in scant array, they wore a more
than usually pleading look, and found relief
only about midday, when the sun made a
brave effort to shine out. The plantain
trees look very much as if they had been
recently boiled, instead of the reverse,
PrIAe Beef.
Walking through French market yester-
day after selling hours, it was only natural
that our attention should be arrested by
such tempting beef as that hanging on stalls
seven and niue. We never looked on its
like before-so fat, so full, aud so iuicy-so
rich in color and evidently SO tender, aud
then the weight only 200 pounds. A blue
ribbon decorated the delicious mass, and
well 1t might. We know nothing of the
hey fat hut
think whoever he is that his enterprise is
worthy Of commendation and emulation.
Let all who hunger 60 there this merning,
and feast their = eyes, for the price will ex-
clude all poor folk from participation.

W. May, No. l3t, have been detailed for

hotel two oEsthrec days, but left for the
