AUCTION sALEs THIS DAY.


CAR MoToRs.-The progress in pneatmatics
is at only summer speed, although the
new air engine and tanks are being con-
structed by means of the new machinery.
ammonia is going North. The Pelican has
subsidized, we believe, finally, leaving its
rivals the field between them. In the mean
time the irrepressible mule pulls on the even
tenor of his way, careless of the various
appliances for propelling street cars IN the
future The populous company OF mules is'
perhaps, not the least fortunate OF these
companies in view of coming events.
Apropos Of the mule, we do not see upon
the new certificate of the Pneumatic Com.
pany, the design in wood of troop of eman-
cipated mules in glorious exodus, names
and tails flying, ears up, and nostrils spread,
making for the-praries, not plantations.
Why don't we see it!

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company for the Rip Van Wrinkle line Of
sleeping coaches between Louisville and
New Orleans, have rebuilt, reprinted and

Two Americans have recently constructed
a horse railroad two and half mile long
in London. The cars, though built in New
York, are apparently great improv ement
upon anything in this country, each Car
seating twenty-five persons inside and
twenty four outside. The cars are described
as light and elegant in structure, being
moved with great ease by two horses. They
carry passengers for two pence flour cents)
each, with special half price rate morning
and evening for workmen going to'and from
their labors.

Are there any so foolish as to question the
fundamental right to labor? We can not
believe it. But while all, apparently, con-
cede this right, it must be apparent that
many use artful means to avoid the exercise
of this great right that is to keep the bust
ness of the world in wholesome action. This
is decidedly wrong. A person never feels
so well as when engaged in some useful
occupation. BY this means he is enabled
honestly to supply his reasonable wants.

We learn by a dispatch to the New York
Sun, that Daniel Mcfarland presented him
self last week in Martinsville, Indiana, and
filed motion for rehearing of the suit
which granted divorce to his wife.
The motion is reduced to writing, and
sets forth that the grounds upon which it is
made, are as follows:
First, That the defendant had no notice of
the application of his wife for divorce.
Second, That the proof of publication of
the pending suit was never filed with the
records Of the case.
Third, That defendant will be able to
show that Mrs. Calhoun, one OF the plain
titf's witnesses, committed perjury.

We have received the Richmond Head
light, published off st. Louis, on board the

were eighty.six passengers for Cairo and st..

at midnight On Monday, the fourth instant,

The fete champetre at the Carrollton
Garden, which would, doubtless, have closed
last Saturday night had it not been for the
storm, was continued Monday evening. and
the grand finale is fixed for next Saturday.
In the meantime the ladies will have had
some relaxation, and will enter upon their
last days duties with renewed zeal and
vivacity. It has been the most elegant
affair throughout, and every one who has
visited it will regret its close. We have
made mention, from time to time, during the
festival, of such incidents as we could re-
member, but where there is so much OF
interest, some must necessarily escape men,
ton. The struggle for the various prizes
has been decidedly animated, and those not
already awarded, will be on Saturday.
Miss Sarah Hodges, whose rivalry of her
mothers kindly reception of visitors. has
| distinguished her, WAS the popular candl-
date for two of the most elegant cakes.
| Mrs. Hodges has been ably assisted IN her
generous efforts by all of her accomplished
| daughters. The two splendid cakes con-
| tr,buted by the steamers Natchez and St.
| John, we believe, have not yet been
| awarded. Miss Henderson and Miss Lindop
| we're the favorites for them. The "ele-
| phan.r cake, prize for the ministers, is not

mond ring. the sewing machine, the base

An EPIsrLE FROM THE PARISH PRIsoS-A
Letter to Recorder Masicot.-The following
epistle from the Parish Prison, is worth
perusal, and the writer possesses an item Of
real wit, if not fund of wisdom. His rea!
name is not signed to the letter, but the
court knows the author, and will doubtless
comply with the modest request:

YoyR HoNoR-Thirty days in this institu-
ton on the sentence which has consigned
me to these classic walls as the chief OF
gladiators in the Benzinian arena, in retiring
from public life by virtue of the decree
emanating from your honorable court,
would beg leave to state, with your honor's
permission, that l can not, in all candor,
appreciate your taste in this instance for
having selected for me during these warm
and sultry days, such an uncongenial and
dry retreat. Do not for one moment, your
honor, entertain the idea that l
have had the presumption to criti-
else your official acts. On the contrary,
can but endorse your impartial judgment
for six months in this establishment, will
not in any manner make me half year

cess by which, Phoenix like. will | once

stricken many will be, until informed of the

general depot, opposite Washington SQUARE
Az the thirteenth day of November (the
expiration of my sentence) is somewhat III
the distance, and as it will not hurry at my
bidding, | must patiently and snail IKE
crawl up the tedious ascension which leads
to it, will not therefore your honor be gen
erous enough to devise some plan through
public print, or otherwise. inform my TRENDS
that Mr.. and Mrs. DR.. Sommersett are at
home all summer at their Orleans street
villa. But I desire certain degree OF
leniency extended to one OF us, Tor surely
we must have some one outside to attend TO
business. As can we'll keep the internal
machinery Of the house in working order,
and as it is courteous to- gentlemen to yield
and give the preference to ladies, | would
request that you allow the madam the
privilege of the out door business, which
can be easily done by your transmitting to
the tycoon of our pleasantout OF the way
retreat, one of these rejoicing little docu-
ments so previously preserved by your
honor. Mrs. Somerset alias Gentle
Annie, having forty days more in these dry
times, she has no objections to be released
and being treated to forty drops of "Aqus de
Libertad." By acceedng to this request
will cheerfully bear my exile.
Having been 80 liberal in slicing me such
a bountiful ration at the expense OF the tax
PAYERS, hope your generosity will not stop
with me, but extend it to gentle Annie, by
presenting her with release, who now lies
on bed of sickness, which can be attested
to bv the visiting physician.
Honing your honor will take some action
in this request, remain, very respectfully,
