L merely happened thal Tor want OF
something else at the time this was
u!op,cd.
Since my last. nothing has occur 4
red worthy or special note in the
aCrcsccul CITY" True, we have had
The fun and frulic Of - Mardi GraS,'
Which is customary in New Orleans
But on the late anniversary it is
said the exhibition Of the " Mystic
Krewc surpassed anything oil the
kind in tines past. luu Aaye no
doubt read ali about this IN the city /
daiii,s. st Valentines day has
come and cone. Many a lover said
smart things TO his hearts idol, and .
'maHv avaiied themselves Of the Ii.
eense this day affords to play joke
anon their friends. These gala days
are cnue. and the "coru doctor"
with his vithercd limbs, still occupies
his goods box at the corner of hevee
and Canal streets. The MIN with
his wonderful paste and Strop which
will sharpen everything, 6Ht my oId
kaiEa, still hats each passer by, and
discuurscS eloqucntly of the merits
of his wonderful paste. The "CM
nese grip " man has exhausted all
his gas. putting his humbug, and re
tired. The man with the Mammoth
Telescope still '.holds his position "
uuon the Neutral Ground, and for
dime, or perhaps tor Il nicl,le, in
duccS many a poor "darkle " to look
atihe'sr on the sun" atmid day
and diScourses to the gaping crowd
npon the beauties ana grandeur OF
the heavenly bodies. Then we have
a man selling magnets. wonderful
magnets ! Draw steel pen through
Ia balfineh board. Giake 1t dance on
"a plate, aad extract Sp!inters' steer
filings, or any foreign substance,
from the eye and he sells them, too,
by scores. "llumpty Dampty,
with his Donkey and Cart. makes
his usual circuit, attracting the chill
Ldren and negroes in crowds after
him.. All these things rob the poor
4 of bread, and dram the city OF money
THAT might be more properly invested
4 | see a great many old friends
Z from Mississippi in the city now
Many more within the last few days
Than d. any time during the season.
