NEW ORLEANS. May 10, looS.
Friend Democrat:-I was much amused
the other day at an incident, illustrating
the energy and enthusiasm Of cur firemen,
related to me by Uuce Harry. Around
the corner from his house n lady accident
the boys in the street raised the cry OF fire
fire, and the bells We're set to ringing out
the alarm. Uncle Harry stepped around
to see where the fire was hut the lady with
great presence of mind had gathered in her
skirts and extinguished the fames.s. Fin
ding everything safe Uncle Harry walked
leisurely towards the market, near which
he met two fremen, who were tearing along
for dear life, at pace little short of Dex-
ter's. Being kind hearted man, with the
intention Of saving the "boys" useless
race, Uucle Harry good naturally called to
them, "No use your running it's all out
there is no fire. Without slackening their
speed one of them replied you go to HI
old Shang hale and the two sped on their
way-As he did not feel inclined to go to
a fire, Uncle Harry quietly walked on, res
oIved hereafter to ''let 'em run"
THE UNION STOVE
is one of the neatest and most convenient
articles. and at the same time most econ
omical ever offered to house-keepers. It's
fire is broad coal oil blaze, which gives an
intense heat, and will warm water or broil
a beef steak in quick time. For evening
or lunch time, when tea or coffee, and q
light meal is to be prepared, these stoves
are all that is required, they need no kind
ling wood or coaxing, touch of match
sets them going, they make no smoke or
ashes, and waste no fuel, az when their
work is done they only have to be blown
out. got one of these jewels from Messrs
Rice Brothers & Co., of Nos. 80 & 81
Camp Street and 565 Magazine Street, and
having given it fair trial, think it's merits
worth knowing. The display of hardware
and cutlery, imported and domestic, nails,
carpenters tools, farm implements, japann-
ed ware, washing machines Sc, ad intini-
tam to be found at these stores is as varied
as can lie found in tue country, besides
which they are agents for the celebrated
Charter Oak Cooking Stoves, of which
every body has heard, aud which are en-
dorsed as infaltable by all who try him.
EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY.

ways comes in at The tail end of the fight,
If he comes in at all. and arrests the fellow

ces, distributing "pizened sassengers" which

"hy the light of the moon'-for his sins
are beyond pardon and his days are num-
berpd. 1t is said that twelve hundred red
dogs OF high and low degree, have already
been supplied with sausages and have de-
parted for the "happy land of Can(aa)ine"
Iydrophoba has increased very much in
this country in the last two years, and the
horrors of the disease fully justify the most
action and ELECTION measures for its pre-
ventiou. Better that all the dogs in Gre
alton should be slain. than that one human
being should suffer death by this terrible
disease. New and startling theories,
backed by the facts and certificates have
lately been advanced in relation to this
scourge. 1t is now said that the disease
is liable to be communicated in cold as
well as warm weather, and that it may be
taken from the bites of perfectly sound
and healthy dog.

Our serene Governor was the prosecutor
and is said to be "exceedipg wroth" on the
termination of the matter, and threatened
to call the Legislature together that they
may consider the law and evidence in the

involuntarily exclaimed "Spare us Henry
Clay W. for the calling together of the
Legislators from the 'vasty deep" of social
oblivion to which they have sunk for the
time being would be terrible calamity to
our State. What new jobs would be Off

we can not tell and much prefer to remain
in biissful ignorance on the subject and
therefore the reinstatement Of Wicklffs is
rather satisfactory, than otherwise.
