class of household duties now a. days too much
neglected by our maidens. The third wagon con-

For the conception Of this design and the manner
of its execution the Fifth Ward Club deserve
great deal of credit.
We noticed last night with Imuch pleasure that
monster rooster GA feet 10 inches) in the process
sion and possession Of the well organized Chant
cleer Club. This rooster, SO hardly contested for
during the past week, has fallen to the glorious
Chandeliers. For this they deserve much credit
Being lately organized club they thus show that
in whatever they undertake, whether to gain a
rooster or work for the good Of the Democracy,
they will succeed at whatever cost. Long crow
the Chandeliers. Cock-s-d doodle doc!
The admiration of many were attracted by two
immense heads Of Seymour and Blair-in fact the
largest and best executed of the kind we have
seen since the commencement of this glorious
campaign. We heard that they were executed
by Jimmy Noise, the son OF our well.known fell
low'townsman and artist T. s. Noise, Esq. What
is more creditable to the young gentleman is that
he painted them for the Bulwer Club during his
leisure hours of business.
Many were the clubs who last night received
tokens of the admiration Of their lady friends
Some of these presentations will be found de
tailed elsewhere, but to describe all is impracti
cable. Many. too, were the bouquets that changed
hands last night changed from the faiT hands Of
their makers to the harder and browner ones Of
those who were thus encouraged to persevere 10
the good work. The women of New Orleans have
done no little towards the success OF this cam
paign, and the CRESCENT here aekno Wedges their
services and thanks them for them.
tandem team Of grsys, harnessed to basket
work carriage, was a very noticeable feature on
Canal street. The horses were gsily decked with
flags and transparencies, and the wagon was
PRETTY adorned in the same manner. This was
novel idea, and very good one.
To the innumersbe clubs who last night, by
cheers or serenades, or both, honored u.s. we re-
turn our hearty thanks. At the late hour at which
we write we cannot call the roll of these friends
Of ours, so we beg you, gentlemen, to rest salts.

bless you all, says the CRESCENT.
More Tributes by the Ladies 10 the Gallant
Seymour Legion.
The Legion was called to order at 81 O'CLOCK,
President Jonas in tho chair. When about to
commence routine business, the attention of the
Legion was attracted by fairy steps upon the
stairs. A few moments, and, like angels upon
some happy mission bent, appeared several ladies
bearing in their hands flag unexcelled in beauty
by any yet seen in New Orleans. II is the glori.
Gus flag of our Union, surmounted by battle ak
of silver. Miss Meyer. with it in her hands,
breathed forth in words coming from feeling and
undaunted heart, as she presented it to the Le-
gion-words that called forth from every man
cheers, and gave birth within each bosom to
new born determination that defeat should never
sully its folds. 1t was presented by her upon
behalf Of herself and Of Misses Heurm and
Geutcuced, who stood by bestowing upon the
gallant boys those visible and happy signs of
Eden's choicest benediction: woman's sweet
smiles. President Jonas replied in appropriate
and stirring remarks. There was also presented,
by the Misses McAitchison, q guidon whose beauty
was only surpassed by that of its fair donors.
Favors yet came pouring in. The Legion again
were made to cheer as the happy recipients of
three beautiful urea hs-one presented by the
Misses Pierce. Twas an occasion that will long
be remembered by the Legion as one of the most
pleasant Of those happy little episodes that occa
sionally break like glimpses of Eden upon the dull
routine of everyday life, and serve to inst cour-
age and hope into the most responding of hearts.
