OF three or four half docks in front of his
office, just where lie desires to land his
pretty little craft. TO say the least, it is an
uncommon place to harbor the docks, and
they are not ornamental, although very use
full when in service. 1t is not known to rs
who owns them, OF by what right they are
in that locality. Captain Mccain, should
he be suddenly called on to put off his boat
to rescue steamers from fire, would be de-
TERED in his movements by these unsightly
docks. A little investigation might result
bene1.cially to the owners and to the police.
Recorder Houghton occasionally departs
from criminal business and dives into the
temperance cause. 1t happens almost daily
that habitnal t,TunkarGs, when arraigned,
will beg to be let OFT, promising rot TO drink
another drop FOR weeks. One Of this class,
Peter Conrey, did a good deed yesterday by
signing pledge and swearing to it. to alb

SOMETHING IRREGULAR-Et.eCsc c:t0 De-

of Dave Cummings and Frank Williams,

as members Of the Legislature, and how
the police found lot OF burglars tools ard
false boards in their rooms. They We're sent
before Judge Meyers, who committed :LeI-
for trial before the Criminal Court, fixing
the bonds at $1,000 each. Judge Abel III
mediately afterward reduced the bonds to
TWO hundred and fifty dollars each, which
they did not furnish, but retired 20 tie

Thursday evening. At seven o'clock +. n
John Connors, Of Girod street, who IS some

appeared at the Parish Prison and signed
for them, when they walked OF. free nler.
They doubtless lost 70 time IL making a
great space between themselves and new
Orleans.
Superintendent Badger and Sheriff Mas
cot had during Thursday, entered into ar
agreement that no person should he released
without the police being notified, and no
bonds to be taken otlt OF usual hours. Yet
Mr. Boutte, keeper OF the prison, n Ire lace
of this arrangement, permitted Cummings
and Williams to depart. More, it is sad in
the Superintendent's office that, OF Captain
Bofll signifying his intention 20 INFORM
Colonel Badger or Captain schrieber OF the
release, Mr. Boutte forbade the proceeding.
And the men, against whom are pending
weighty charges, have at length effected
their escape, for il is not in the least nroba-
BILE that they will ever be seen by their
bondsmen again. 1t is an easy matter 20
surmise how the trick was perfected.
This proceeding greatly aggravated S"-
perintendent Badger, and ne at once IN
formed the board OF the case, when the
Commissioners passed resolution Urging
Sheriff Mascot to dismiss Mr.. Boutte from
the keepership, which seems to imply that
thew regard his action il tie premises as
suspicious, to say the least.
Cummings and Williams made two III
efectual attempts TO break jail before they
were sent to the Parish Prison.

A Ggntle Hint.

Old Deacon Hopkins was worthy soul
and generally respected for his outward
show OF piety and religious zeal aud |
have no doubt that he felt at heart most
that he professed,
But the Deacon had his weaknesses In
a certain direction he was troubled with a
morbid desire. His chief employment was
the making of soap from ashes which he
gathered in the neighborhood and in
making his soap he was obliged to keep
two or three kettles of lye boiling to
which end an abundance of fuel was neccs-
sary.
Now it so happened that the Deacon S
neighbOr was Captain Jack Psyson, whose
calling kept him upca salt water the greater
part of the time. Captain Jack was a
great hand to keep his family supplied
with wel-seasoned wood, and as he owned
an extensive forest lot he often had vast
pile of it cut and hauled to his house, and
there worked up and stacked. 1t further
more CHANGED that the rear door OF the good
Deacon soap house opened directly upon
the rear of Captain Jack huge wood pile
The temptation was strong. Surely, there
could be no harm in taking few of the
scattering sticks; the Captain would never
miss them
But the disease grew upon the necessity
Of feeding the fires, aud he tancled, kind
old soul that the Captain would never miss
the distracted fuel But he was destined
to rather an unlocked for and unpleasant
enlightenment, as we shall soon see.
The question was up before the church OF
introducing Instrumental music into the
choir One of the singers had base vio,
which he was willing to play if the breth-
ren would permit, and both he and the
chorister declared that it would help the
singing wonderfully. But this was before
the days when fddles were tolerated in
sacred places, and several of the brethren
objected Deacon Hopkins was enthusiastic
and bitter in his opposition. At full
meeting Of the church he expressed himself
decidedly.
Captain Jack, who Glanced to be on
shore, was present, and favored the intro
ductiou Of the viol
Bring it in" cried the Deacon, 'and |
will 20 out won't be seen where that
big fiddle is tolerated. -
''Will you stick to that pledge, Deacon p
asked the Captain.
Yes, sTRr' replied the irate function
AIRY.
Then" said Captain Jack. with a curl
Gus twinkle of the eye, you shan't be
troubled with the fiddle in the church. |
will buy it and hang git upon my wood pile
The poor Deacon strank away behind his
enormous shirt collar, while the friends of
the big fiddle carried their point.

laid her dear little form into the coffin :
help her ? yes-by hokey, said the rough
butcher, Hopkins. She ought to be sup
ported by the public, and never know want,
for poor widow as she has been for fifteen
years, she has never let anybody want that
she could help, and I've known her many a
time, when she was earning bread with her
needle, quarter day and board herself

And so it went everybody willing to
help the widow in her need, and we got up
the donation party for the widow for our
Thanksgiving night, and oh how glad cur
hearts have been made, in making the wild
owls cup to overflow with ioy-in returning
thanks to our Heavenly Father by giving of
our abundance to relieve the wants of the
widow, grandmother and orphaned little
ones. Yes, Edward, my heart has huttercd
with joy; joy that there was-so much of the
angelic in human heart; joy that in this
good land there is enough for all, and that
so many great and good minds are pleading
for the right of all to live and love Joy that
every day the work of charity and benevo
lence goes on, and that woman is beginning
to think and feel for woman and for the op-
lay their offering of sympathy upon the al
tars of suffering hearts. Edward, dear as
you are to me, dearer than life, even your
frown aud colder words at this moment Of
our meeting could not Danish that heavenly
guest from my heart that the aged widow $
God bless you" and her tear Of gratitude
had ushered in there Would that every
village and every town would use their
Thanksgiving as we have done to-day then
indeed, would it become a time OF thanks
giving and prayer, acceptable alike to man
and God -
Edward Bellies bent his head low upon the
hand of his lovely and loving wife, and
tear fell upon that wedding ring, and wash
ed all remembrance of the troubled thought
that but now had caused it TO twirl upon
that gentle finger, ard a deep earnest God
bless you, my Mary made them again as

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs. The Order of
the knights of Pythias' is becoming so
widely spread and prosperous that the pub
lie have areasonablc curiosity to know some
thing of its character and purposes. The
ritual was first written and the Order worked
during the war as bond Of union between
army officers After the wars close it was
rewritten, modified, and thrown open to the
people, and has spread rapidly, particularly
within the past two years and in the Eastern
States Its work and intent are very siini-
lar to those OF the Masonic Order. Founded
on friendship, with the famous tale of Da-
mon and Pythias as their example, the
members aim to relieve the suffering, sue
cor the unfortunate. care for the sick, bury
the dead, aud give their sympathy and ma
terial aid to the widows and orphans of each
other. There are now forty active lodges
in this State The complete regalia con-
sists of military hat, with plumes, a scar
let velveteen sash, with silver fringe; an
apron of black velvet. handsomely trimmed
with silver with the emblem of the Order
knight sAelmet with the visor down, the
letters X. P, and the initials of the officer,
if the vearer be an officer; and a sword
made to their order by the Ames Company
of Chieopee, with elegantly wrought hilt
and scarlet scabbard, the hilt and trimmings
being gold for the officers and silver for the
knights, and each blade bearing the name
of the wearer They have also complete
suits of light armor, very curious to look
upon in these days-BoSton Paper.
