Fifteenth Annual Matinee mt the Academy.
The Christmas gift matinee at the Acad-
envy yesterday presented some singular
scenes Long before the hour of twelve
o'clock, the approaches to the entrance Of
the Academy were thronged with children
and adults, the former being intensely anx-
ious to secure a share of the toys before
they were all exhausted. It was the largest
matinee ever known at the Academy; as
may be judged by the fact that thirty -three
hundred and eighty-fve tickets were sold,
and q hundred or two were in there who
did not pay.
We promised not to report Mr. Bidwell's
ment, when the crowd was swaying inward
and there was imminent danger that some
Of the smaller children would be crushed.
One little fellow held his fifty cents high
above his head, and was crying with deep
est grief, when Mr.. Bidwell asked him the
cause of his troubles. ~ have got my
money to 60 in, but can't get to the ticket
Office" Can you let me lift you over this
crowd by your hair'" was the next ques-
ton. "Oh. yes, DO any way, SO that can
get in" Mr.. Bidwell grasped the boy
firmly by the hair of his head tone thumb
under the coat-collar), and, lifting him over,
babe the hey go in and keep his money for
other purposes.
Presently lady cried out, ''Mr. Bidwell,
Mr. Bidwell, there's a lady out in the front,
with q white feather in her hat, and have
her ticket, and am separated from her."
Obigingly Manager Bidwell called out:
"Will the lady with a white feather in
her hat come this ways Her friend here
has her ticket"
About dozen ladies, with white feathers
in their hats, each exclaimed: THAT'S me,
and they all made push to go ia.
Hundreds Of people were unable to gair
admission to the Academy, and went away
disappointed, but they may have better
luck at the Christmas gift matinee Of 1871

Few FIREs.-Sinee our last issue the
firemen have found plenty of serious labor,
and speaking of fremen makes us think OF
an omission. At the fire opposite the Post
Office Saturday morning the men suffered
badly by the intense cold. Their boards
and clothing were literally frozen, and
Chief O'Connors mOustache wore an aged
appearance, covered with acicles. The
same for many others. The telegraph wire
over the burning building was prettily
decorated with icicles six inches long. Had
il not been for the big we'll Oh Canal street,
which furnished an abundance of water.
there is no telling where the confiagration
would have ended, and members Of the de-
partment SO express themselves.
A fire broke out about nine o'clock sun
day morning in a cottage at the corner OF
Napoleon avenue and Prytania street, occu-
pied by Mr.. Joseph Mitchell and owned by
Mr.. James P. Freret. The building was
entirely consumed. Insurance, $4,000 on
the building and $1,000 on the furniture.
The latter was saved by the police. The
cause of the fire was the close proximity
Of stove pipe to the rafters OF the house.
Two bales Of cotton caught fire IN some
unaccountable way Sunday morning on
the levee, at the steamboat landing, out
were saved by being rolled into the river by
the police. The cotton belonged to the
steamer Magenta.
The residence of Mime. Herbeck, corner OF
Boudet and St. Charles streets, caught fre'
Sunday Afternoon, but was promptly exun-
guished. Damage small.

FIeuREs.-Mr. Snoozer makes the follow
ing comparison, which is not particularly
odorOus:
New York City, with population Of
nearly a million. besides an immediate VI
cinity with about .6O0, 600 more. reports
from eleven to twelve hundred arrests
by the police weekly. New Orleans, with viii
sus-of less than 100000 souls, reports
about seven hundred arrests o week. De-
cidedly we must be a bad set of people, or
our policemen profound rascals. Select
if you please.
In this connection it is not Improbable to
state that within o week not less than a
dozen patrolmen have found their way into
cells which they were wont to fill with
other bodies. We saw one locked up last
night, with his uniform coat on, in company
with q low prostitute. The airs he assumed
were really gorgeous, but they did not avail
him or the harridan with him.
