cents" Democratic Club, as they passed the
CRESCENT Office on Tuesday evening was strikingly
picturesque and beautiful. The members, mum
beriDg between five ana six hundred, were array
ed in white caps with red bands, black pants, red
shirts, over which fell jaunty white cloaks or
capes inscribed with a red Maltese cross, and
each carried blazing torch. The banners and
hsPs were ROTgeously beautiful, and the entire
scene savored more Of the marvellous beauty of
some romance of the crusades than of a modern
political parade. The CRESCENT Acknowledges
several rounds Of hearty cheers from the limo
cents, as they passed.
The STEAMBoATME COLoRED CLUB are rapidly
advancing in members and in spirit, under the
enc getic teachings OF Col. Mnrry. They are
liked by all lovers OF responsibility and honesty
among the colored folks of New Orleans.

procession. II is to be hoped the gallant steed
will not fling his next rider.

TIE SIDEWALK on st. Charles street. opposite
the police station, has come to be during the
mornings about as filthy and disagreable locality
as one can imagine. Scores of negrOes-Heaven
only knows how they make a living ng!-attracted
thiIner either by interest in the proceedings of
the recorders court, or by expectancy of an ap-
pontment on the police force, line the stone work
Of the iron paling talking loud, swearing and fairly
drowning the pavement in tobacco juice. During
the last few days an aged negress with keen eye
70 business has established stand Tor spruce
beer, ginger pop and cakes thereabOuts, giving
the scene additionally festive air. Altogether,
