Saint Valentine.
The finer fancies and coAceits of Saint
Valentine have departed from among even
the most lovelorn. The fourteenth of Feb
! ruary is no longer marked day in the cal
endar--too practical times have crowded it
out, and placed it on dusty shelf alongside
many other martyred festivals. However,
we can live along yet awhile, and not miss
the tooltshness laid to the credit (or dehit) of
| Saint Valentine, for he always was an ex-
pensive saint, not to say soft. We rather
IKE fair number of holidays, and wish for
| more of them than we now celebrate; but it
is desirable to indulge such as an entire
community may partake of. New Orleans
| as body scarcely recognizes other festivals
than Christmas, Mardf Gras, and the frel
mems fourth of March.
Julia Street R iIroad.
The mayor has signed the Julia street
railroad contract, Notwithstanding it will
DO impossible to lay the track along that
norton of ,Inlia GfFnnt oil 4h.o
new basin without destroying the commerce
os that locality, and without Interfering
seriously with the general business of the
| street. The distance from the opposite
curbstones along the line of the basin is
| only about thirty-three feet, and when a
double track is laid it will be impossible for
. dray or wagon TO load or unload, either
| from the vessels on the one side or the
stores and lumber yards on the other, with.
out effectually blocking up the route.
Mayor Heath signed the contract with the
advice Of the city attorney.
The Grand Levee Repairs.
Governor Baker, a portion of the levee
board, and the contractors, Messrs. Andrew
Freame d Co., who went up to Grand levee,
found the ground much more favorable for
| the construction of the levee than was ex-
pected. The contractors have already upon
the spot several of the patent levee building
machines recently upon exhibition at the
power and some by steam. They are very
sanguine OF beingPble to complete the work
OF rebuilding this important levee before
the spring rise.

The street commissioner has issued an
| order TO rigidly enforce the ordinance
relative to keeping the banquettes of the
city clear Of the mud and sediment that
always accumulate upon them after heavy
| rains. Every housekeeper must see that the
sidewalk before his or her house is DWept
OIL after rains on penalty of heavy fine.
The street commissioner should also compel
owners Of houses to abate the nuisance of
| loose bricks on the banquettes, which squirt
muddy water on polished boots and clean
| pants after every rain.

| Lieutenant Madden, of the second district

males come from nine houses.
