well known creole lady residing on Plsuche
street, and who moves in our best circles, on Fri
day at twelve o'clock NJ, gave birth to triplets,
all girls, who resemble one another much that
they may have to be marked with different colored
ribbons in order to establish their identity.
Although the young ones are very small and deli
celent health, and will, according to the opinion
of the attending physician, be perfect success.
We congratulate the mother and children upon
this happy accident.
Since the above was written, we learn that our
expectations have been sadly deceived. Two of
the triplets died during Saturday night and the
third one on Sunday. The mother is doing well.

Yesterday, as we were passing the establish
ment of that whole. public spirited citizen,
| E. A. Tyler No. Is Canal street, our attention
was attracted by a miniature silver steam fire
| engine displayed in one of the show windows of
his jewelry establishment. This unique piece of
mechanism was manufactured by Mr.. Tyler about
| year ago, and was originally intended as prize
| TO the fire department. Since then he has changed
his mind in regard to its disposition, and now has
| it up for rattle, at 81 chsnce-2000 chances-the
proceeds to be divided between the orphan asy-
ums, both Protestant and Catholic, of this city.
The prize is beautiful one, complete in all its
parts, and capable of throwing stream Of water

| Observation-Disclosures a long breath after

| run against rocks. 1t seems that there is a city
ordinance which provides that each ball shall pay
tax of SO into the city treasury to be devoted to
| the Charity Hospital fund. As there is music at
the velocipede school on Canal street, DR.. Hire,
in charge of the Charity Hospital, asserts. we un-
| derstand, that the $40 fee should be paid by it
nightly, and has notified the mayor that the city
treasury will be held responsible TO the hospital
for that amount. Nor Is this all. We learn that the
| occupants of the stores in the first floor of the
building in which has been erected the altar of
VelOcla, have complained of the noise made by
the machines, and have asked its abolition. The
result is that Mr.. Loring is now preparing to put
in layer of sawdust, and on top of it another
floor, to deaden the sound, 80 in this particular
Velocia is triumphant. How the goddess will

Last Sunday one of the boldest velocipedes-
trans of the city, ventured on the shells far
the Hallway House, which he reached in safety,
and triumphantly drank the sine qua non cock
tail. Somewhat fatigued at the long journey. he
| rested himself in the cool shade of the Halfway
House and finally started on his way back. The
exertion, however, had been too much for his
muscles, and when last seen he was alternately
pushing along with his feet on the ground or car
rying his vehicle under his arm, the perspirstion
trickling down his face at rapid rate, affjrding
much fun to the fancy seated behind fast crabs,
who INDUCED in o considerable number of jokes
az his expense. We hope, however, he will not
be discouraged, and make more successful effort
the next time.
