GAbout midnight on Monday, the sweet voice Of
somebody passing opposite our eanctum, said in
an undertone, "three cheers for the CRESCENT"
but not low enough. however, not to be distinctly
heard In the stiffness of the night Whoever is
the possessor of that cheering voice may rest as
sured that 1t chimed softly upon our ears:
g. Angel, take thy word,
And trust thy honest offered courtesy,
Which oft is sooner found in lowly sheds
With smoky rsfters, than Ia tapestry walls,
And courts of princes where it first was named.

After having been before the Co mmon Coun.
ell since October last the ordinance granting to
the New Orleans. jackson and Great Northern
Railroad Company. the right of way through the
city. last night passed the lower board. We have
already published the proposed route. but for the
information of our readers we reproduce it.
II runs from any point on the road outside Of
Claiborne street, through Euphrosine street. to
its intersection with the New Canal shell
road, along the New Canal to the neu-
trail ground on Triton walk or Delord street TO
St. Joseph street, through the center st. Joseph
street to Front street, thence up Front street to
Tchoupitoulas street, up Tchoupitoulas street to
Water street, thence up Water street to the upper
line Of the city, also, from the intersection Of st
Joseph and Front streets, down Front street 10
Girod street. saa
Engines may be run ON that portion of the
track from the depot to the corner Of st. Joseph
and Baronne streets; but from the corner of st.
Joseph and Baronne streets. through st. Joseph to
Front street, horses or mules must be used.
From the intersection of st. Joseph and Front
streets, up and down, locomotives may be used.
Trains shall not be run at o greater speed than
five miles per hour.
The ordinance met with strong opposition from
three or four members, who objected to allowing
Tchoupitoulas streets. There is much to be said
on both sides Of the question, but the track will
directly connect the Jackson Railroad with the
grain elevator in Jefferson, it must prove q great
facility to trade, and must decrease in some de-
gree the enormous charges which all freight IN
transitu pays in New Orleans.
A scene occurred In the Fourth District Court,
that, in the hands of an srtist-working with
either pencil or pen-could be made q striking
picture. 1t seems that for some months there has
been pending in that court divorce suit. The
suit was brought by the wife, alleging ill-trest.
ment. The case came up for final trial yesterday.
But during the progress of the argument Judge
Thesrd. thinking he saw prospects of reconcilia-
ton, ordered the case temporarily discontinued,
and requested the company of the husband and
wife In bis room. Then, having got them face to
face with each other, the judge began to argue
with them on the foolishness of their course.
What inducements be set forth we cannot cay, but
weldo know that, finally, the wife confessed that
she was perfectly willing to withdraw the suit,
and that the husband not only acknowledged that
be was ready TO receive his wife again. bnt swore
never again TO give her cause to think his conduct
aught but that of the most devoted spouse. The
happy work of reconciliation thus effected, the
children of the newly joined couple were brought
In and added their enjoyment to the unaffected
pleasure of the scene. AS to the feelings of the
kind hearted judge, whose benevolence had crea
ted all this happiness, they may well be envied
and the consciousness of having done such deed
Is possession of which any man might be proud
