"E WAS an old man. Not so very
Ill old, either, for the wrinkles that
marked his visage were not the autograph
that times finger had laid there, and the
hand that placed upon the low pine table
the well-drained glass did not tremble so
with the weakening that age induces =;
yet very old and very wretched looked
the sole occupant of that narrow room,
with its red curtain, and floor stained
with tobacco saliva, and an atmosphere
abundantly seasoned by the bar-room in
to which it opened.
A hiatt must have been intended for
one half.concealed the owners uncomb-
ed locks; and unmistakable evidence of
familiar acquaintance with brickbats
and the gutter did that same hat produce.
Then there was coat, out of whose
sleeves peeped pair of elbows in rejoic-
ing consciousness that they could afford
to be out" Add to these, reader, tat
tered pair of trousers, and yon have a
picture of the wretched being who had
just commenced his daily potations in the
only "grog shop" he was allowed to enter
And yet the wretched, friendless man sat
there, under the stupefying effects of his
morning dram, had heart, and far away
up great many pair of winding stairs in
in that heart was door easily passed by,
and on that door, covered with cobwebs
'of time and neglect, was written, MAN,
But nobody dreamed of this; and when
the temperance man had gone to him,
and promised him employment and re-
spectabjlity if he would sign" and 9th
ers (well-meqning men) had rated him
soundly for his evil ways, and he had
turned deaf ear to all these things and
gone back with pertintcity to his cups"
eferybody said old Bhl StDong's case was
hopeless one. All none of these had
patiently groped thPir way up the hearts
winding stairs and readfthe inscription on
the hidden door there.
But while the unhappy man sat by the
pine table that morning, the bar-keeper
suddenly entered, followed by a lady
with pale, high brow, mild, hazel eyes,
and strangely winning expression on
her mild face. The man looked up with
a vacant air of astonishment, as the bar
keeper rendered the lady a seat, and point
ed to the other, saying, "That's Bill
Strong, ma'am," and with glance that
indicated very plainly his wonder at what
she could want there, left her alone with
the astounded and now thoroughly sober
ed man.
The soft eyes of the lady wandered
with sad, plying expression over old
Bills features, and then, in low, sweet
voice, she asked
Z" Am l rightly informed? Do I ad-
dress Mr.. William Strong?"
All, with those few words the lady had
got farther up the winding stairs and
nearer the hidden door than all who had
gone before her.
" Yes, that is my name, ma'am," said

"But far away up great many pair of wind

"And so it is with the drunkard far away
up great pair of winding stairs in his heart
there is door easily passed by, and we must
knock at that door once, twice, seven times,
yea, seventy times seven, to open it.'-JoHN

CUPID'S PRAYER.

BY WILSON, JR.
III AY roses o'er thy path be strewn,
Va And every kindly flower
With fragrance that may prove as sweet
AS those in Eden's bower.
May blossoms on thy path be found,
And grain upon thy fields
May fruit on every tree abound,
And fields abundant yield.
May ever in thy heart be found
A virtue pure and high;
May sunshine in thy heart abound,
And true love never die.
May we a happy couple be-
In Loves dear arms caressed;
May in thee, and thou in me
Be always happy-blessed.
o! what life of love and joy,
And, o what spirit free;
A blessing, may find in you,
A blessing, thou in me.
o, Mollie let us ever prove
True to each other here,-
That may always call you "Love,"
And you may call me "Dearp'
Don't think me green for writing this
'Tis Glove" impels me on;
My loving darling dearest miss

TEE EIGHTH DISTRICT COURT
III. c. DibbIe Appointed Judgs.

Governor Warmoth, yesterday, appoint
ed Henry c. Dibble, Esq, 10 be Judge Of
the Eighth District Court for! the parish
Orleans. This court was created by the
Legislature at the late session, and is
given such general Jurisdiction in civil
matters, as is conferred upon the Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh District Courts,
and exclusive jurisdiction in all cases of
contest for Office, to issue writs of man
damus, injunction and quo l.arrqn:o.
Mr.. Dibble is a native Of Carroll
county, Indiana, from which State he
enlisted as q volunteer at the age seven
teen. He served for about two. years,
when he los. leg in an attack On the rebel
Notifications at Port Hudson. After an
honorable discharge, he settled in this
city and began the study of law, and was
admitted to the bar by the Supreme Court,
in the spring Of 1865. He subsequently en-
tered the law class in the Louisiana Uni
versity, from whence ne graduated as LII.
B. in 1867. His career since as practi-
toner has been successful, and he has es-
tablished lucrative practice, which he
felt some hesitation in giving up for the
fattering position offered him by the Gov
ernor.
This appointment will give general sat
isfaction to the public. The appointee is
well versed in the rules Of practice in this
State, and will bring TO the discharge of
the important and responsible position a
clear, logical, well balanced mind, and an
ability and determination to render impair
tial justice between parties litigant.
Mr.. Thomas Lynne will be the clerk.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

We are informed that James f. Casey, the
present Collector of this port, yesterday,
threatened Republican editor of one of the
country parishes, with withdrawal of the
State printing from the editors paper, IN
less the paper would cease its demand for
his (Casey's) removal from Office. Casey's
impudence and ignorance has often
surprised US, but this last illustration
of his weakness and imbecility
beats anything that has ever be-
fore come from him. The threat is an
insult to the State Board of Public Print
ing, consisting Of the Governor, the Lieu
tenant Governor and the Speaker Of the
House. II is an insult to the press Of this
State, and as such will, no doubt, be
properly rebuked. It is an insult to the
Republican party Of the whole country,
and fully justifes and demands the imme-
date removal from office OF the guilty in
dividual.
We hope the Republican press Of this
State will speak out on this subject with
becoming independence, and sustain our
Congressional delegation in Kidding US of
a Collector who disgraces the high Office
he DOW holds, to the exclusion Of many
deserving competent and honest Repub-
hcans of this State.

city, utterly ignorant of the laws and ordi-

city. utterly ignorant Of the laws and ordi-
nances, and the internal and external
machinery which must be adjusted, oiled
and set in motion under the new bureau
ocracy? 1t would take the wisest of them
six months to learn how to do it, and it
must be remembered that in the admins
tration Of public affairs, chow not to do
ii" is in many cases the wiser part. Six
months Of municipal tuition! Think of
that! For it is no easy matter to get ''the
hang" Of municipal matters, mixed as they
are by almost incessant changes in ad-
ministration.
There was wanting no better evidence
of the verdancy and incompeteDcy of the
fifty elect to make choice of city rulers
than that they ask the Governor to throw
overheard every man of the Republican
party and put all Democrats on duty.
Had they asked that the appointees be
equally divided, or a sort Of. political ola
podrida should be tried, there would have
been some wisdom manifested. The utter
nonsense of asking any appointing power
to ignore wholly the men who have, po!iti
cally. stood by him, is not the request of
any man or set of men versed in public
affairs.
But suppose that the Governor should
appoint the ticket proposed by the jury
Will every appoinee compel the property
holders to pay their taxes in greenbacks,
and throw in their salaries in aid of
bankrupt treasury? If they did, then we
might look out for the millennium.
And right here it can be said, without
the hazard of copper, that on the first
Monday of November next, the clamor
would be as great to rid the City Hall of
the favorites of the Electoral Jury as the
Electoral Jury are now clamorous to OBJ
tain Office, rule the people, and to touch
the dead corpse Of the public credit in
the vain expectation that it will rise at
their bidding during the few summer
months ahead. Viua hlna51tgiana!

LADIES, ATTENTIoN.-The most particular
attention of the ladies Of New Orleans is
called to the auction sale of fine French i'm
ported goods now going on az Madame
Sophie's, on Canal street, between Baronne
and Carondelet streets, through the minis
try of our young friend, PIacide J. Spear,
auctioneer. The sale opened yesterday, and
the goods sold brought such low prices that
the ladies themselves were amazed. Bear
in mind that the sale commences this morn,
ing at eleven O'Clock precisely, and fail not
to be on hand early, in order to secure the
best seats, Polite young misses are on hand
to wait on the audience, and take great
pleasure in giving all the information de.
sired. Last, but not least, bowl of fine
punch and the finest confectioneries are
served to the public for lunch. Once
more, ladies, do not neglect this opportunity
Of securing extra bargains.

The following S few of the reasons why TINS
CONCRETE should be used in preference TO all
other materials:
l. It has been tested through of the hottest OF
New Orleans summers, and found not to soften by
the heat of the sun.
q Being in general use at the North, it necess&
rily must be proof against cold.
2 1t is as durable as stone and mach less ezper-
sive.
g. 1t is perfectly impervious to water. and conse
quently quickly becomes dry when wet
s. makes no dust in dry or mud in vet weather.
c. 1t does not crack or crumble, nor is it washed
by the rain
Z. It is impenetrable to grass, weeds or water.
g. It prevents noxious vapors or gases, arising
from the ground beneath, and affords no reservoirs
for filth or fostering decompositions.
9. 1t is laid down quickly, and ready for use wnen
finished.
TO- It is easily taken up, easily relaid, and easily
repaired when necessary.

made, by which the aspirants to the con-
troll Of the jackson road shall be enabled
to get possession of the stock at one
twelfth of its cost? The city now pays an
interest on its bonds, issued for the pur-
chase of tbat stock, exceeding $50, 600
per annum, and when the bonds fall due, 1t
will have to pay the whole amount OF
s2,OO0,0eO. The stock is pledged to the
bondholder, and can not be sold except
subject to that lien. If it be sold, sup
pose the purchasers be required to make
themselves responsible for the city debt,
less the price which they pay. But to sell
the stock for nothing, and continue to pay
interest on the bonds, and the principal
when the bonds fall due, would be rather
absurd as financial operation. We trust
that the present Council will not permit
such a measure to be hurried through
without giving it serious consideration.
Ship Island stock was tolerably firm

they have found their way to the hands OF
stronger and more courageous holders.
