LOCAL PARAGRAPHS.

boots.
Ballard, the partner Of T. L. Brown &
Co., has been sent to the penitentiary for
TWO years for attempting TO bride an AL
derman. This makes some Of the CITY
Fathers mighty uneasy.
col. Dan Rice turned over to Col,
Dawson yesterday, one hundred and ffty
dollars as the net proceeds of his benefit
for the Confederate Relief Association.
We are more than indebted to Col. Rice
for this amount, as il comes Just at 4
time when we are most pressed for
money.
Judge Fo1te yesterday swore in Gen,
Marcus j. Wright as deputy clerk OF the
Municipal Court, in place of Mr.. Boswell,
resigned. The General is an old clerk,
and knows the business thoroughly. and
we are sure there could ave been no bet
ter selection by the Judge.
In a column of the APPEAL there are
from seven to eleven thousand separate
pieces of metal, the displacing of any one
OF which causes an errOr-one of those
Typographical errors" that so much
hard swearing and often so much hard
feeling at printers.
We learn that there is considerable
complaint about the manner in which the
prize cotton at the late Fair has beer re-
sampled. II is said that not less than 800
to 1000 pounds has Been distracted from
the bales ostensiblY as samples. This
amount, in addition to the samples fOrthe
Fair. will foot up largely.
One of the Aldermen, an indicted
member, who got drunk and otherwise
misbehaved himself Saturday evening.
went TO Madame Vincent yesterday and
apnlOgized for everything that he had
said and done to and about her. This is
no more than right, as the Alderman had
at least a gallon Of mean whisky in him
when he pcrpetrated the outrage.
Mr.. B. Rocco, with that nice sense of
'theapprnpriate" which has always distin-
guished him and his dealings with our
people, presented the elegant cake made
and exhibited by him at the late fair. and
which took the blue ribbon, to the Assist
ant Secretaries of the Association yester-
day. These gentlemen return him their
sincere thanks through these columns.
Joseph Baretta and wife, who were
passengers on the iIl-fated steamer Stone
wall, arrived in the city yesterday. They
lost eve children in tho flames. and are
now left old, homeless and childless TO
the tender mercies of a cruel world. We
recommend them TO the kindness of our
people, and hope that something NAV be
done to tighten their heavy load of afiic-
ton.
The handsOmest restaurant in the city
Is that of John CASTOR, on Adams street,
near Second. John keeps in his ice box
everything that the market affords. and
always has on hand all that the railroads
a steamboats, can bring him. He has
completely reftted his place. and lords
can go thither with a certainty of receiv-
ing the treatment due to their positions.
We recommend his place to every one.
VIM. Benjes, on the corner of Second
and Jackson streets, took the premium
for -four and corn-meal at our last fair.
We are informed that Mr.. Denies has
taken the prize for several years success
sively here, and that his -four and meal
are "A. No. l." We hope u friends will
not neglect to %patronize this home insti-
tuition when purchasing their family sup
plies.
White and B. Louis had a terrific fight
on Saturday last. We are not posted as
to how the row began, but we understand
that the celebrated tight between the
black dog and the monkey was not a cir
cumstance to it. White being shad-hel-
lied, and B. l.. being exactly the opposite,
filled the measure of the " eternal fatness
of things" and they Chose who saw itl do
say they Mt each other TO a dot. White had
a raw hide, but didn't use it. because B.
LIS hide was raw enough without it.
We understand that several merchants
of this city, when called upon recently to
take tickets for the benefit on Saturday
last, said that they "were getting sick of
this thing" "that the Confederate Asse-
citation was running things into the
ground" ETC., etc. We las a member of
the AssOoiatinnl want all such to keep
their money in their pockets. We would
not be found dead with it in our treasury.
and we only want to find the names OF all
who made n such remarks. to publish
them in such a manner that they will
never forget it. The Confederate Relief
Association was organized for the purpose
of taking care of the widows and orphans
of Confederate soldiers. and we propose
to use every honorable means to carry
out this intention.
Much talk has been made bv outside
parties about Madame Vincent for allow
ing the negro Shay to enter her house and
eat with Barbour Lewis, John LOague
and others. We are requested to state. as
a witness. that Madame Vincent did not
know at the time when she engaged the
room 70 them the character other visitors,
and we are also a witness that she would
pot have allowed the party to enter If she
hdd En0wn OF whom il was constituted.
Madame Vincent had no idea, until after
the oysters were served, that she was wait
ing upon a negrOsn his compeerS,a and no
blame can, therefore, be attached 20 her.
We hope none of our friends will think
the less of her for the affair, as she was
entirely guiltless of it.

Yesterday was the festival of IAN
Saints Day." held in general commence
ration Of all saints and martyrs to whom
no place has been given in the calendar.
II is called also All HaIIOw" in the Pro-
testant Church. The origin of this festi-
val is dated back to A. D. COZ, when the
Pantheon at Rome was converted into a
ilhNC VI 1nlAHAlnn AOISllU. ana WIS Qeul-
Gated by Pope BOuiface ". To-day is
the festival of All Souls, celebrated by
the Catholic Church in behalf Of souls in
~purgatOry, for whose release the PRAYERS
of The faithful are offered up and masses
performed. 1t is said to have been estab-
iished in the ninth century by Bishop
OdillOn, Abbot OF ClGny. Its observance
Is deemed of such Importance that it is
ordered by the Church that, in case of its
falling on Sunday, the celebration of it
was not to be postponed till Monday, like
most other holidays, but it was to be cele-
brated on the preceding Saturday, in or
der that the departed souls suffer no
detriment from the want of the prayers
of the Church. It is celebrated with more
pomp in New Orleans and Mobile than
anywhere else in America-unless it be
in Montreal or Quebec,
Hundreds Of Confederate soldiers will
remember Carlo Patti, who went into the
late war with a Memphis regiment. taking
his music and his genial nature with him.
When the wal closed he went to New Or
leans, where he remained two or three
years as the leader of the orchestra at one
of the theaters. In the meantime, his
sister, little Patti" was captivating all
Europe. A late number of the New Or
leans Bulletin a of him: Carlo Patti.
the brother of Carlotta and Adelina, whose
NAAOANS h1N OCIApAGu INC
world for several years past, has met with
q genuine ovation at the hands of the
opera-gOers of Goteborg, Sweden, where
be has led the orchestra for SEVERAL months
past. The terms in which the Goteborg
P0SteR speaks of Carlo is truly refreshing
to the writer, who has heard refuted the
assertion that Carlo possessed genius.
Carlo, it will be remembered, married, a
few weeks prior to his departure, a daugh-
ter of Mr.. Z. Deschamps, oneOfourleading
French importers, and to this fact, we be-
lieve, is due, in a great part, the success
which the young musician has met. Hav-
ing assumed responsibilities he will
hereafter devote himself more fervently
TO his muse, a neglect of whom was the
cause of many of his reverses in life.
Well, he was young, and followed the
impulses OF an artists heart. He is, there
fore, the more commendable for his recent
achievements. From GotebOrg Carlo goes
to Stockholm, then to st. Petersburg,
where he viii also, we hope, receive the
title of General Patti. which the Gotenbor-
gers have bestowed on him."
