Our ADysRzzssRs.-Ws.tak take pride and plea.
sure in referring to our advertising columns.
It win be soon that almost svery business and
profession Is represented In them, and our
readers have no occasion TO refer outside of the
MORNING STAR whom they desire to choose the
best legal advce-the most scientific, and ex.
perienced, and skilfnl physicians photo

of labor-saving neutrality-suspicious. dealers.
whose family supplies require but the smallest
possible aid from the disciples Of soyer to
transmute them into plats fit for the gods-fur
nishing clothiers, who laudably desire to see
the human form decked to emulate an Antinous
carpet dealers and house furnishers, whose
stocks have to be seen to be pprcciated-and-
and-well, people will die, and affection re-
quires that they be properly disposed of-under-
takers, who viii perform the last sad offices
with tenderness betokening sympathetic,
hearts. Dear reader! you, no doubt, with the
discrimination and discernment which makes
you the oracle of your circle have discovered
| that in this catalogue there is q palpable omis-
sion. But we cannot give you the credit you
would fain obtain; we more than suspect you are
indebted to Kernaghan's Brazilian spectacles
and truly, there is mention Of the ladies,
and those who minister to their civilizing infiu-
ences. We acknowledge the soft impeachment
or as you, no doubt, in your gallantry would
call it-a blunder but we maintain, it involved
deep, deliberate design on our part. Place

and now proclaim that the dry goods houses
which use our immense circulation are worthy
-
judgment and taste in pstronizing them.
DAMAGES AGAINST RAnRoADs.-Many COM
plaints are made against the conductors of our
city railroads, some, no doubt tho effect of
momentary annoyance for discourtesy on the
part of drivers, and others, having we'll
grounded reasons. The recent decisions by
our courts will cause directors to look moro
closely to the conduct of railroad employees,
who, it is generally supposed, are often crimi-
nally negligent. In the Sixth District Court,
on the 18th inst, the jury awarded Mrs. Mary
E. Howell $1,000 for injuries incurred ON the
City Railroad cars In the case of Schreibener
against the Carrollton Railroad Company, the
jury returned verdict of $500 in favor of tho
son and $500 to the father.
STEAMBOAT Observation-Disclosures of those ter
rible disasters, which startle for O moment, and
then pass off among the things cast into obi
WON, happened on Tuesday last. The steamer
Clyde, Capt. Muse, left port that morning
for Red River, and when at the valcouraine
plantation, about fifty miles above the city, her
boilers exploded, causing the death of several
persons, and seriously injuring fifty or sixty
others. The ut the Charity Hospital,
when the wounded We're brought in, is said to
have been heart-rending It is supposed the
conclusion of running aground caused the dis
aster. The strictest inquiry should be made
into the cause of this deplorable accident and if
the catastrophe be traced to imperfect,
worn-out machinery, or negligent or incompe-
tent management, those in fault should be held
to the scverest accountability. We give some
particulars, taken from The daily papers;
Among the passengers who were badly scald-
ed was Brevet Major NJ. r. Marston, of the LIST
man, saved his trunk, said to have contained o
quantity of gold, and went up on the Black
ford. Two of the family of ex-Gov. Wells were
slightly injured The boiling water j. described
as running all over the boat, the crew and pas
sengers meantime having to run through it,
hot fluid. The wreck Of the Glide finally sunk
at Joseph Lebourgeoiss, left bank of the river,
at the lower line of st. James parish. The safe
is supposed to be in the wreck; and to have
contained considerably over $4,000, of which
$40, 900 belonged to Mr.. Hyman, q merchant
somewhere on Red River, who escaped un;;,,aas
jured, and saved DR.. Chopin, of Clouterville,
by carrying him in his arms and sliding with
him on q fender to the lower deck of the Glide,
