direct from gate to gate. instead of going around
by the original walks. Or, what would be better,
cannot these cow-paths, trodden so often that
people have become accustomed to them, be reg
ularly laid out for they are convenient shortcuts
when one is in hurry, SO that the grass plots may,
in their coming spring verdure, remain neat and
intact within curb stone borders?
An amusing case came up yesterday before
Judge Emerson of the Third District Court. II
was a rule taken by the attorney of defendant
against whom it is alleged. snap Judgment had
been taken. Defendants attorney applied for
new trial, on the ground that the counsel of re.
cord, E. O'Sullivan, Esq, requested of the coun-
sci for defendant a continuance In the same case.
and also requested that neither him nor (sic)
should appear in the case on the day fixed for
trial-as the same in that event would 60 over
and that another counsel, not of record, appeared
and had the case dismissed" In plain English.
the alleged facts are, plaintiffs attorney suggested
that he was not ready for trial. and requested the
attorney for defendant to keep away from the
Third District Court when the case came up to be
called, assuring him that If he would not appear
TO fix the case, neither should the other himself.
But the other, true to his contract, procured the
services of disinterested legal friend, had the
case fixed, obtained judgment by default and final
judgment. Rine le lachrynRG.
Said an embarrassed youth at an evening party
a short time since to a lady to whom he had just
been introduced, and with whom conversation
somewhat tagged, Did You spend the summer
in town last winter, madam" The answer is
unrecorded.
The CRESCENT is indebted for many kind favors
to W. N. Conner, Esq, of Memphis and New
Orleans. Such disinterested remembrance is as
rare as it is valuable.
1t is peculiarly city topic to notice any ex-
tensve and well. ordered manufacturing establish
ment in New Orleans. Such an establishment is
essentially the tobacco and cigar factory of
George Alces, Esq, on Rampant street, Just below
st. Ann street. There is not a factory, even in
Havana, where there is more skill, more judg-
ment or more care used in obtaining selecting
and manufacturing tobacco. Our readers must
know that leaf tobacco pays far smaller import
duty at the Custom House than cigars, picadura
or pipe tobacco. 1t was on this account that Mr..
Alces determined to embark his capital in New
Orleans. Being man of thorough experience
in the making of the finest Havanas, and having
no superior as an expert in every grade and
quality of the leaf, he selected the best agents on
the island as his purchasers, and brought out the
best workmen as his cigar makers. The amateur
is therefore enabled to obtain, from Mr.. Alc5s,
cigars in any quantity, as well seasoned, as well
made and as pure as the choicest to be had in the
warehouses of UpmanD, Cabsnas or Cabargs, and
at very nearly as reasonable prices in coin as are
charged in those famous factories. Whoever
wants to inspect the mysteries of cigar making
will find his curiosity gratfed in every particular,
from the first seasoning of the leaf to the shapely
roll itself, elegantly packed and ready for use.
And our readers may believe our assurance that
they will be kindly and politely received by both
Mr.. Geo. Alces and his excellent and efficient
assistant, Mr.. Rilieux. Agents from other cities
will find great bargains at Alces', and perfect
fair dealing and lberality.
