SIMILARITY IN NAMEs.-The police IN the
several precincts have been instructed to
register the names and localities of all
houses of prostitution and designation. The
work has commenced, and Capta;n Mccain,
third precinct, has progressed SO far as to
have secured the principal names, which
we have seen and noted. There IS one SIN
gular popularity worthy of mention. Many
Of the most notorious women, whether by
accident OF on purpose, bear names which
are very like the names of some of our nler-
chants and leading men. This circumstance
is so exceedingly striking that our atten-
ton was drawn to it forc;b!y. For instance
one painted harridan gave her name as not
unlike that of a prominent gentleman. who
would not feel proud. Another assumes
the cognomen of we'll known attorney,
another that Of an exemplary merchant, one
& that of an excellent policeman, and so on.
+ These women may possibly have slight
right to the names, and if so, the history
+ would look so very queer in print. Those
registers cover a vast amount OF sad ro-
nance and wicked reality.
IwABAD WAY-Henry Brady and Adele
ChevalIier began the weeks duties indie
Gently. The twain had been living as one
and, is usual in such partnerships, the time
came when they agreed to disagree, but
they were not content to separate quietly,
Brady considering that, as he had had SO
much of her for four years. he would give
her something to remember him; so he gave
her chilling slash across her throat. letting
out stream Of gore. This rash conduct
brought Adele to her senses, and sent Henry
flying over to Algiers, where his parents
live. 1t is supposed that his stern parent
will give him terrible dressing down for
having left home in the first place. This
trihing family unpleasantness occurred on
Laurel street, far up town.
The PISTOL on BASIN STREET.-About
six o'clock last evening, the soothing sound
of pistol shots indicated that autumn fights
had commenced before their proper time.
There was some consolation to reporters,
who had vainly patroled the city for items
above an ordinary fight For reason still
a secret to outsiders, Mr.. j. Wycof's temper
40 far gained an ascendancy over his good
Judgment as to permit him to fire away at
Mr. d. F. Sproule, one ball executing little
damage in wounding Mr.. Sproule's right
hand. Mr.. Wycoff was arrested. as also
was Albert Cobb, who by accident stood on
the field of battle, although he did appear
as beli;gerent.
MAGNOLIA BRIDGE.-Ths bridge, or that
which is called bridge, is now passable tor
small traffic. The two turner's turn blg
wheel. as if grinding coffee for regiment
of thirsty soldiers. 1t is safe to bet that
they will work themselves out OF JOB IN
less than a month.
Woodward Nash, firing of fashionable
life in the Boys House Of Refuge, left with
ont norm;ssion and returns in the same
manner.
AxrSG HIM-Washingto johnson having
soured.on John White, chopped him with
auax. all on Calliope street. johnson re-
tired 70 close room. where axes are not
indu,oed in, unable to find bondsman in
time to prevent short imprisonment.
POLICE CHAScEs.-Sergeant Fuentes goes
to the Algiers precinct to take comm and' IN
place of captain, the board deemlns IL
wise not to increase the expenses Tor so
small remuneration.
Sergeant Douglass is transferred TO the
harbor precinct.
]. Leahy, sixth precinct, recently dis
missed the force, was reinstated.
COOLING PELICAN-A cOmical thing II
was a day or two ago, to see lad feeding
a Louisiana eagle tpelican) in Mr. 10 SIM
rella's house, under the shadow of the City
Hall. Poor pelican was very hungry and
swallowed whole fish without salt or pepper
