Since my last, We have had two or three days
Of balmy, spring-liks weather, while the balance
have been most execrahle. We are having q late
rprDg, and, withal, chilly and disagreesble one,
as is always the case after mild winter. IL
seems to be settled fact that we are bound to
have certain qusnsity lis that the right word to
use in this connection p Of cold weather between
autumn and summer, and II we don't experience
II in winter. Is to come before the end of
spring. At least such is my experience, and I
have been a citizen Of this world about thirty
years, which is equivalent to three decades. you
know, although there ere as yet no signs Of decay

The time for our city election is rapidly APP
preaching, but az yet there have been no nominal
tors made. The Democratic Central Committee
held meeting recently, and resolved not TO
make any nominations, and the probability Is that
The sovereign people will control the next cleo
ton, instead Of leaving that important work to
politicians. The city treasury has been 90 freely
bled by Radical ofiee-hoders for some years pa It.
that IL seems scarcely possible that the " trooly
lol y will, in the face Of the enormous frauds
which have been brought TO Eight, have the
ffrontery to put set Of candidates in the field on
the present occasion. Yet IL Is to be hoped they
will, that we may see whether their blind follow
will follow them still and indorse the corrup.
ton and rsscality which have characterized the
psfty. One OF those worthies-Dsvid Berlin,
late harbor master--was convicted of forgery in
the Criminal Court day before yesterday, and
sentenced to two years imprisonment in the PEN
tentary and II others OF the tribe get their des-
serts, they will be sent there also. ~ fo
Our governor has given TO Mrs. Fischer, of this
city, who, a few days since obtained decree of
divorce from her husband, one DR.. Fischer, an
appointment as notary public in aud for ST. Louis
county; but not being fully advised as 70 the
legality OF such step, he has taken time to con-
slder ere her commission will be forwarded, and
the result will probably be disappointment for the
lacy. Meantime, the strong minded are on the

One Of the confidence tribe went to the store Of
Conroy & Bro. yesterday and ordered lot OF
groceries, representing himself to be Superin-
teDdent hcKissock, Of the south Pacific Railroad,
and requested that the goods be sent to him at
the depot Of that road; but Mr.. O., on the con-
trary, called policeman and had the fellow taken
10 the station where during the day several similar
onpaints were lodged against him.

were last spring; and according TO " the oldest
inhabitant," not only the year preceding, but also
the one following presidential election is always

The compromise arrangement under which boa's
plying between St. Louis and New Orleans are
now running Is great convenience to shippers
and passengers; but the owners Of the boats do
not look upon it with much favor as the
public does II often happens that Sunday in
tervenes-in factit does SO once every week In this
latitude-aDd as boat Is bound 10 leave every
other dsy, freight or not, In such cases only one

Gent even when freight is plenty, II the boat
happens TO be large one like the Bismarck or

might be. and owners are grumbling. They
think ct least three days to load should be al

don't pay; and il it don't the probability Is that
1t will not last long.
In smusemenfs this week We still have the
Worrells ct the Olympic, Jean H0smer at De

former, as has been the ever siace their
advent, draw full houses nightly, and Yet there

They can sing song or dance jig well; they
are pretty and piquant, and know what the

are making money for themselves and the pro-
