Presentations Last Evening.

Lest evening, at eight o'clock, a party,
composed of several ladies and a number
of gentlemen, assembled at the corner of
Clio and Prytania streets, for the purpose
of presenting a parting testimonial to Mr..
j. Z. Kendrick, late superintendent of the
| New Orleans, Mobile and Texas railroad,
who, on Saturday next, leaves his position
on the road for his home in the North.
Among the guests and participants in the
ovation were Mr.. G. W. K. Bayley, gene.
raj superintendent and chief engineer; w.
j. Phelps, general freight agent; George I.
Benedict, assistant superintendent; G. G
'Sanborn, general ticket agent; j. b. Stew

| BrockIin, division engineer; L. w. Gillespie
travelling agent; j. Illsley, Jr., attorney for
the company; E. B. Schultz of the general
ticket department.; and L. B. Robinson
agent at Mobile.
The testimonial was presented by Mr..
Bayley in few remarks expressive of the
high estimation in which the recipient was
held by the officers and employees of the
road. Mr.. Kendrick in accepting the gift
gave expression to the pleasure he felt in
\ receiving such an evidence of the esteem of
his late associates, and assured those gen
| tlemen that though lie parted from them
| they would be ever remembered.
The service consisted of a massive silver
| tray, with the inscription, ITO James r.
Kendrick, from the employees of the New
| Orleans, Mobile and Texas railroad, August
81, 1871" also, tea and coffee urn, cream
| jug, sugar and vinegar bowl.
Next followed a surprise presentation
| from the same gentlemen to Mr.. d. ID.
| Randlett, an officer of the company, which
was indeed a surprise, for no one in the
company had any previous notice OF it.
| This was silver sugar bowl and set of
spoons, with the monogram d. d. r. en-
graved on the bowl. 1t was presented by
j. lesley, Jr., in a neat and feeling address,
and was responded to by Mr.. Randlett in
appropriate terms.
After partaking of refreshments, q num-
Der of the party, including members ofthe
press, adjourned to the sporting parlor of
Johnny Hawkins, where several toasts were
drank amid the popping of champagne
corks, when the party separated, mutually
pleased with the entertainment and with
regrets at parting with the estimable
gentleman whose departure was the occa-
sion of the reunion.

DoLBEAR COMMERCIAL CoLLEGE.-This
old and popular institution announces the
following list of their professors for the

French department; Professor Fries of
the mathematical; Professor eagle of the
penmanship; Professor Meyer of the Ger
man, Latin aud Hebrew; Professors Num-

Robes of the Spanish This array of talent
will no doubt increase the popularity of this

South. The location, No. l66 Canal street,
is one of the most pleasant and convenient

Killed BY an avalanche Of words.

Since Dunn and Pitkin have taken to
letter writing they can no longer deceive
anybody Great men have been known to
ruin their political prospects by simply re-
sorting to this method of improving their
greatness. How can men, then, of the
Dunn and Pitkin mental caliber expect to
improve their political prospects by show
ing themselves up in this way! These
men have recently added another disgrace
to themselves by outraging the literary
and political world.
Inflated. no doubt, with the idea that
they are men OF letters, each has written a
letter of no ordinary dimensions. AS if to
make up in quantity what is lacking in
quality, these very indiscreet individuals
some might say inhuman-have published
to tAe world two letters that will stamp
them as long-winded, if not long-headed.
Dunn has addressed his letter to no less a
parsonage than Horace Greeley, and Pitkin
selects Governor Warmoth as his target.
These letters make nearly nine columns
in the Customhouse organ; and, singularly
EDITORS valedictory, in which he announces
that his editorial career has closed, and that
his paper is about to be merged into another
establishment, that is to take the name OF
the National Republican Printing Com
pany." This company proposes to publish
daily paper that is to meet the require
ments of the CustomhOuse clique; and
if the public can judge of those re-
quirements By the letters of Dunn
and Pitkin, it can form some idea
as to what kind of a newspaper
is to be added to the list already published
here Just think of the figure that Pitkin
and Dunn must cut as letter writers-as
men of letters. They no doubt think ''the
pen is mightier than the sword" but they
are no more fit to WELD the one than the
other. They should leave such work to
men of intellect. Their apeing after great.
ness will never make them great.

Some unfortunate people are afflicted with
bad luck, while others still are fortunately
the recipients of any quantity of good luck.
We might say amount for Mr.. Baptist
REM, of Taylor street, in the Sixth Dis
trict, has drawn one-fourth of the prize of
five thousand and twenty-seven dollars and
a half, quite large amount of money to get
back for an investment of only twenty-five
cents. Nobody will undertake to gay that
twenty-five cents invested in any other
manner would have secured like results,
and therefore there is an argument in this
fact for others to do likewise. There is no
great harm in trying it.

GEORGE WASHINGTON AND HIS Doc
George is not a man of much education or
refinement, but has dead loads of affection
He had faithful dog, which one of his
neighbors enticed away from him. George
was instantly on the war path, hunting high
and low for his canine. Such energy as he
displayed could not go unrewarded, and he
succeeded, but the captor would not give up
the animal, saying it was his property. Mr.
Washington made strong affidavit, and
a search warrant cornered the brute. Both
men were positive in ownership, SO Recorder
Houghton, in order to settle the dispute,
directed the men to leave, going opposite
directions, when the dog should be let loose.
The contestants out of sight, the dog was
untethered and started off, following Wash
ington, which quieted the difference, and
made the owner happy man.

only 1900 less than in 1869, so that the inter
