A Magazine street car was passing up Camp
street late on Saturday night. II was crowded
with people both sitting aud standing whilO uPOu
The door step hung by teeth and toes two pas
sepgers deeming themselves even fortunate in
having secured a foOthod. Alas of sud
den, The noise of running footsteps was heard,
and in the dusk were seen the figures OF three men
hurryiag also to get aboard the car. These public
vehicles never are full anyhow, and thus it was
that the two who had thought themselves
crowded to the last verge of possibility before,
managed to make place for the three new
Corners, who were rather boisterous and
rough in their manners, yet still the car went
on Three or four squares further up-the for
ward wheels ran of the track. The three last ar
rived jumped off, as was supposed, TO go and see
what was the matter forwsrd-perhaps, il neces-
sary, to bear hand. But when the car started
again, they didn't return, and the two once more
had the platform to themselves. What was the

develops itself to general gaze in the shape Of

that hereafter the First District Court Of Orleans
parish shall be known the Eighth District Court
having concurrent jurisdiction with the fifth, sixth

| court shall be organized, which shall be
known as the First District Court, and
which shall, as does the present First
District Court, have exclusive jurisdiction over
criminal cases. The bill then goes on TO place the
appointment OF the judge and clerk Of the court
thus created in the bands OF Warmoth. or course
the object of the whole thing is to get rid of Judge
Abel, who is too Just and unpsriizan judge to
suit the ideas Of the faction which now controls
the State and oil bis place with some tool of Rad
icslism, who will stain the ermine to forward his
political interests and those of his party. And
the men who would propose a scheme of that sort
are the men who now are called representatives OF
the people Of Louisiana What living burning

tricksters.
II has been suggested, owing to the fearful de-
struction of cotton baes last nightat the Academy,
where they played conspicuous part in the
battle of New Orleans, that the price Of that
staple will materially Use to-day. The evening

from his lips the words which are eventfu in wo.

acquaintance dated few months back, but he
had never, by word or aetion-besides the Ordi,
nary gallantry toward one of her sex-intimated
anything like preference for her and necessarily
the perplexity of the fair lady was great. and in

FASTENED away from her nterocutor. That night
was not one of sleep to her, being engaged in
philosophizng at the unexpected occurrence.
Happily the swain was not Indifferent to our young
friend and the nights thoughts were favorable to
the sutton whose addresses were formally received
by the young lady and her parents on the follow
ing day. Matters being settled her first idea was
to ask for an explanation Of the abruptness of
the declaration without any previous marked
attentions towards her. The answer was simple.
he had seen her and admired her, and for several
months past had quietly observed her very
closely, without her knowledge or that Of any
one else; and having come TO the conclusion
that she was such q woman as he had dreamed
of for a wife, had ventured to ask her hand,
