A NEED IN THE FIFTH RIoT.-The
buildings, stores, workshops and dwellings
in the Fifth District are, with about half a
dozen exceptions, constructed entirely of
wood. There are three fire companies in
the town of Algiers, and these, though
thoroughly efficient as any organizations on
the left bank of the river. would be hardly
sufficient should any extensive fire arise
not for any want of promptness, activity
or daring on the part Of the members. but
merely from the absence of sufficient sup
ply of water. True, Algiers has been ex-
empt for long time from large fire. but
such visitation may happen at any mo-
ment. and the want of water in such an
event would be severely felt.

We find this equivocal compliment to the

Democrat:

mating women in the world. A stranger is

The Louisville Commercial has racy
sketch of the personrelle of that establish

Our sporting editoris the only one who is
not from the North. He is from Georgia,
where he was born AMI partly raised. He
amassed quite fortune during the war by
dealing ''faro" for Confederate money. But
he woke on the morning after the fall OF
Richmond a poor man indeed. IN MS young
days he was race-ri6r, and can now tell
the pedigree of any race horse that Is men

by the man that sells Hacking on the street
corner. After he beGme too old to ride
races, our sporting elitor moved 10 New

protect his rights. After "bracing' the
company he deserted and joined an Arkan-
sas regiment aud dealt faro. as before stated.
We have NO trouble n sending our sport
ing' editor off after news. The trouble is
in getting him back. He always gets broke;
never wins. He bel his ''expense money"

his way up the river on a steamboat. we

1t is of no use to dispute the fact that
they understand thing or two IN Boston.
Last Wednesday the free public baths we're
opened for the seasOn-eleven baths for men
and boys and five baths for women and
girls. These are absolutely free to all who
will behave themselves, every convenience
being afforded for bathing in salt water kept
from stagnating by the rise and fall OF the
tide. This is only one OF Boston's numer-
GUS sanitary precautions. The good old city
is always thoroughly clean; nobody, with
out prosecution, conviction, and penalty
can maintain nuisance; the streets are
carefully looked after; every medical man
makes himself sort of sanitary inspector,
and considers it a professional duty to re-
port to the authorities all manner OF dirty
delinquencies. Heavy may be the howls of
the unwashed, but nobody regards them.
The policy of cleanliness is fixed after the
Medean and Persian fashion.

They who take an interest in the cultiva-
ton of the cotton plant can not fail to be in
terested in paying q visit to the cotton plant
in Jackson Square, the one which last year
produced five hundred fine bolls. The same
plant has now at least two hundred forms,
the majority in bloom and nearly matured.
Mr.. Wallace, the city gardener, related to
us a rather amusing incident of German
visitor who, on examining the plant yester-
day, declared by SCOT tam dat ish vas not
cotton" The hallucination is not INDUCED
in By that individual alone, but it requires
some horticultural skill to preserve through
the winter and produce at this season of the
year plant eighteen feet in height, and
in such perfection.

/ A MuRDERQUs ATTACK Last Wednesday
1.-TWO women-Ann Brown and Boston Jo-
whose characters are not as pure as snow
nor as chaste as ice, visited the castle in
which dwells modest Molle Perkins. When
*they entered the dwelling on Union street,
their sinful faces were smiling, and Mollie
Thought of no harm. The Amazons sudden
by put on another front, beating Perkins
over her head with ale bottles, until she fell
down covered with blood, and nearly dead
from the heavy blows she had received.
Assistance arriving, the two belligerents
ran off. Of course such an assault was not
made without some foundation, and
now it appears that the sufferer
did happen to know too much concerning a
heavy robbery, in which the two terma,
giants were interested, or their "men" are.
lit is supposed that they attacked Mollie in
|tending to murder her, but she was too
*lively tor them. Ann Brown, whose den is
I lon Basin street, Second District, WAS ar
rested and will be tried in few days.
Boston 10, also low woman, was arrested

/ in severing ring of thieves, or at least dis
Eturbing some large robberies. Mollie will

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

The VACANT MARKETs.-Heads OF faml-
lies and servants who attend to marketing
have for week been considerably exercised
and troubled IN obtaining supplies of fresh
ueat. The little that WAS offered for sale
was poor and, of course, held at prices
which approached extortionate, and the
amount on sale was insufficient to give all a
haste. Attention was directed toward veg
|etables, fish, salt meat and poultry. These
ARTICLES. in prices, sympathized with the rise
lin beef, pork and mutton. Retailers of
chickens discovered al unusual demand,
land it is said that old hens killed about
|Christmas, although similar to Egyptian
|mummies, were quickly disposed of at 6g-
|ures ten times the original cost; but this as
|sertion contains a small sum ofspite. During

dishing up delicate morsei, thus violating

other hungry gourmand created panic in
his household by staying pet poodle, pro-
posing to try its flesh in well-seasoned
fricasse. However, as these stories sound
like exaggerations, it is we'll not to accept
them as strictly true. There is no doubt
that Mr.. F., growing very hungry, remem-

CHILD KIDNAPPEo.-Thursday evening,
Just at dark, woman passed near the resi-
dence of Tom Digby, near the corner of
Howard and Poydras streets, where his little
son was attending an infant about seventeen
months old. She took it and walked off
three squares, the boy following /; when
there, she gave the boy some money to buy
some fruit. While he was away, she left,
and has not yet been found. 1t is not known
what her motives are. The child has light
hair, fine blue eyes had no shoes or stock

child is rather handsome.

Fraudulent CERTIFICATES - Yesterday
captain Schrieber showed us neat certih-
cate. purporting to be from L. Clayland,
clerk of the Slaughterhouse. which is
forgery. 1t is written on a tag similar to
the genuine ones, but is not stamped. In
size it is smaller than the companys tags.
A butcher in st. Mary's Market surrendered
it to the officer who gathers mp the certi6-
Gates. but when the fraud was discovered
he had travelled, but will yet be taken. The
writing is an excellent imitation, SO near
that few can tell that it is not real. Doubt
less the person whs issued it has done a
thriving business, being able to dispose Of
them at half price. That's enterprise.
Pierre Berger was arrested for furnishing
another butcher, who had Cavaroc beef,
with a Slaughterhouse certificate. The
transaction occurred in the IRENE Market.
and the receiver was also arrested, while
the beef was seized. The giver and the re-
ceiver will be prosecuted before Recorder
Staes.

UNITED STATES TREASURY AGENT.-Captair
s. B. Morehouse, Special Agent of the
United States Treasury Department, viii
take leave of New Orleans for a season
early in the coming week. Captain More
house is going on tour of inspection to the
Louisiana and Texas coast, where he will
sojourn among mosquitoes, sand-fies, gnats
alligators, smugglers and illicit dealers.
The two last specimens of reptile will find
the neighborhood Of the captain anything
but comfortable, for there is not river,
creek, lagoon, or bayou in Louisiana OF
Texas, suitable for smuggling operations,
with which Captain Morehouse is not
thoroughly acquainted. Besides, his activity
is altogether match for the most expert
dealer in contraband that ever violated the
United States revenue laws.
