mo WATER, NO WATER"

The ravages of fires in various parts Of
the City,in the face of the most strenuous
exertions of so complete an organization
as the "FIRE COMPANIES" of New Orleans,
leads to an inquiry into the causes Of SO
many failures to arrest the progress of
the flames before considerable damage
is done, and to ascertain, whether the
ravages result from the ineficiency of
the means to extingrlish these fires, or in
the lack of the use of ample remedies.
The result of frequent personal observa-
ton cannot fail to afford conclusive
evidence, that the supply of water is
totally inadequate, in time. In the center
of the City, wells are sunk at convenient
distances, and in this locality there is
little difficulty in extinguishing the fire
if discovered before it has gained much
Roadway. In every other part Of New
Orleans, it is humiliating spectacle, to
see six or seven ensinrs hurrying to the
spot, fremen rushing out of breath to the
scene, and when all are there, ready to
pour floods of water, the cry-'no water"
mo water" falls like a leaden pail Oh
every listening ear" Away go the fire
men in various directions, OBSCURE water,
some rush with hook and ladder, and
axe, and in the meantime the flames IL
moc':ery lick their forky, fiery tongues
and riJt in destruction. The water comes
slowly, and as soon as it comes the fire is
sure to go out very shortly. Now, this is q
matter that deserves the attention of every
resident in New Orleans and especially
of Merchants, property owners, and In
sllrance offices. With the Mississippi
river encircling us, with an inexhaustible
supply of water just beneath the surface
of the earth, it argues lamentable and
outrageous negligence to leave the vast
property Of this growing metropolis to
the tender mercies of a few scattered
water plugs We can scarcely conceive how
the fire companies have been enabled to
endure the chagrin and pain of finding
themselves SO repeatedly foiled and de-
fed, without solemn protest. We
earnestly recommend this matter to the
'City Fathers" and respectfully refer
them for evidence of the correctness
of what we say, t6 the first fire that &C.

Our New Senator.

General j. R. West was elected United States
Senator yesterday by both houses of the General
Assembly, having received in each a handsome
majority To day the Senate will meet the
House in joint session for the purpose of coun-
ting the vote and formally announcing the result.
But public interest in the contest terminates
with the already known action of the two houses
voting seperately.
General West is therefore our Senator elect to
succeed Mr.. Harris, whose term expires in
March with the present Congress, and will hold
the position for six years.
The successful candidate is native of New
Orleans, having been born in this city in 1922.
Here he grew up to manhood, when he accepted
commission as captain and served in the
Mexican war under General P. F. Smith. Shortly
after peace was proclaimed General Smiths
command was ordered TO the Pacific coast and
Captain West went with it. Ee subsequently
retired from the army and engaged in the publ
cation of the San Francisco Price Current, in
which occupation he continued three years.
When the war of the late rebellion came up, he
Joined California regiment and march a dis
lance Of fifteen hundred miles over the plains
with infantry and cavalry, to Western Texas
bringing the force that relieved General Candy.
He also served in important movements in AR
kansas and the Southwest before the close OF
the war; He was promoted step by step, from
time to time, until he attained the rank of bri-
gadier general Of volunteers.
When the Confsderates were disarmed. and
peace proclaimed throughout the country,
General West retired from the military service,
and moved to Texas where he invested about all
his means in the purchase of railroad. But
the business of that wild and sparsely settled
State did not respond properly to the enterprise.
and the outlay proved to be improbable. In
1867, General West accepted from General Her
ron the place OF Chief Deputy United States
Marshal for this district, which he retained un-
til change was made by President Grant
After this, short term of service in the Custom
house as Auditor of Customs. and then he was
appointed by Governor Warmoth to be Admi-
nistrator Of Improvements under our new city
charter, which was one of the most important
of the municipal positions created by the law.
Here he has shown to the people who have had
an opportunity to observe and note his official
acts, the untiring industry, the promptness and
correctness of decision. and comprehensive abb
! lity that have earned for him the reputation Of

ment does not work perfectly but then
the world isfull of imperfections, brethren.
We know you would have made far

and it does seem a pity that so many
things, and especially the relations of the
sexes, and the manner of perpetuating
the species, should have been settled
without waiting for your. appearance or

The Republican, Of yesterday, in an ut
terance between lament and q protest,
says, it is worth something to be the Of
fetal printer of the corporation, in that
we have to bear the burden of every prin-
ting office in the city" A little ingenu-
BUSINESS might have acknowledged, that it
was worth something in another mate

the Goce,nor considers it necessary to re-
fer to the subject as one that ought to be
remedied at our expense" Well aacord-
ing to your estimate of what it is worth, y
the adoption by the Legislature of the
Governors recommendaticn would relieve
you of the burden of every printing Office
in the city.

An Illinois Sensation.

The citizens of Frankfort, ILL.,, are at
present considerably exercised over what
they conceive to be genuine case of
witchcraft. The victims are two young
ladies, daughters of MIR james Will
liams. They are said to be modest and
retiring in their manners during the
day, but when night approaches, some
unseen power influences them to climb
to the roof, where, in the words of the
local chronicler, they "gyrate on the
comb with perfect ease and impunity,
uttering at the same time the most hide
GUS and frenzied screams" We are told,
further, that while performing in this
manner, they frequently become rigid
with spasms, and, ON recovering, devour
flies until they are simultaneously seized
with nausea. When the spells come on
they both run toward the residence of an
old lady, by whom they claim to have
been bewitched, and who, if they are to
be believed takes an active part in their
house.top amusements. Hundreds OF
persons have witnessed these strange
freaks, among the rest two physicians,
but the mystery seems to have, so far,
proved impenetrable.

The Sardlne Fishery.

The sardipe fishery, which begins in
June and goes on to the end almost OF
November, is, as may be imagined avery
important industry, occupying as it does
the greater part Of all Brittany; that is
to say, sardines are taken at Roscoff, the
mostnortherly point which they frequent
and thence southwards rs far us the coast
of Spain. The great depots, however,
are Douamenez and Concaneau, which
places take about one-third of the whole
catch, which is estimated Mt six hundred
millions of fish annually, and gives rise
to large transactions in olive oil, which
is used in enormous quantities in what is
called the fabrication de sardines n
Phuile." There is another branch of the
trade called ola sardine pressee," which
consists in placing the fish latter salting)
in large barrels and preserving them
down these cannot be kept long, and
consequently are not exported. This
trade is comparatively mimportant.--
The fishery for sardines is one of the
prettiest sights which can possibly be
seen the boats go out twice day, and
the return of the feet of eight or nine
hundred boats at sunset from the mouth
of the bay or Douamenez IA distance OF
some twelve miles, is a sight ON a fine
evening in autumn to dwell upon the
memory. The boats engaged in fishing
number nearly thousand they are OF
about six tons burden, and manned by
five fishermen each they sail very fast,
carry deal of canvas, masts rake good
deal, and they are not decked. The fish
ing is carried on in the following man.
ner. Arrived at the point where they
expect to find the fish, the captain spreads
his net from the stern of the boat !; they
have corks at the upper edge and lead at
the lower, and are arranged so rs to fall
and dip in a vertical position ; he then
throws into the sea, on each side of the
net, the bait, Goldfish roe from Norway
of which the sardine is excessively fond
trying to pass through the nets to get al
it, they are caught. When one net is
full another is joined on, and this is con,
tinued to the end of fishing. The pre-,
paration of the fish is also very curious
in its details. As soon as the boat comes
ashore, the men land their fish in baskets
one in each hand two hundred fish in
each basket they wash them, and then
turn them out on large tables, where
women, ranged around, salt them in
heaps, and cut their heads off. This
first operation done, they are again
washed and placed to dry on gridirons
when thoroughly dry they are cooked in
the ovens, women then arrange them in
boxes of various sizes, and fill with finest
olive oil, after which the boxes are closed
by soldering, and lastly, placed in large
iron basket and plunged into boiling
water, where they remain two hours
This completes the fabrication" The
boxes are then polished by children pro
vided with brushes, and they are packed
in wooden cases of one, two hundred
boxes, and 50 on.

The very latest thing is to send with

quest to the invitee to come early.
Round hats for white muslin are much
