LETTER FROM NEW ORLEANS

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE
New onl1 April 1871 IS, ISM
EXCURSION TO MOBILE.
At the last anniversary of our Fire
Department on the Fourth OF March,
several Mobile Fire Companies appear
ed in the line and were everywhere
praised for the handsome style OF their
uniforms and their gentlemanly de-
portment. Last Monday was the an
niversary of the Mobile Fire Depart
ment, and some of our companies went
over to join in the celebration and thus
return the compliment. The parade
was really very fine, the decorations on
the engines and hose carts, ladder
trucks and horses being profuse ana
tasteful. Our boys in the line received
many compliments from the spectators
along the route of march, and in the
evening various entertainments were
oivep at which mirth and good feeling
prevailed. The New Orleans delega-
tious were entertained at the Battle
House, and this is sufficient guarantee
that they were we'll cared for. Messrs'
Duvall g. Wilkinson, the present pro-
nrietors of the Battle House, "know
how to keep a hoter'-and are worthy
of the hearty support of our people
The house is neat, the beds clean and
comfortable, and the table is equal to
that OF any hotel in the South. Our
BOYS came back highly pleased with
their trip, and all of them full OF praises
of the liberality and cordially of the
citizens of the Gulf City.
! POOR FRANCE.
The state of affairs in France, the
civilized, enlightened and polite nation
of the earth, is horrible. The rabble
of Paris arrest Priests and Nuns as
"servants of person called Cod
scourge and mock the aged and peace
able, close the churches, and commit
other excuses. The government O
Versailles appears before the gates O
Paris and threatens to complete thu
ruin already so far advanced by Prus
sian guns and the commune. There
seems no chance of relief except by tn
interference of the Germans, and TO
the sake of humanity and christianit.
the sooner this is done the better
Napoleon upon his arrival in England
was received with genuine enthusiasm
by the people, tribute that must hav
9 been very gratifying to his feelings.

three things she should not be like.
First, she should resemble snail-al-

she should not be like snail, to carry

Second, she should resemble an echo
to speak when she is spoken to; but
she should not be like an echo, always

resemble town clock-always keel

SUFFERING OF THE PARIs1ANs.-Ihe
suferings of the Parisians during the
siege of the city have yet to be tolo'
A correspondent of one of the morn
ing papers begins to throw light on
the subject and saying that the dlfh
Guilty of obtaining even the scanty
supply of food that was doled out
was a great hardship. All Paris had
to 90 and form in lines at the various
stations for bread, meat, fuel, etc.,
and men and women would go be-
fore daylight and stand for hours IN
a bleak wind or driving snow or ram,
with feet wet half frozen waiting Tor
the bit of horse meat and coarse
bread. Thousands, it is said, died OF
this exposure. And it is not alone
the Door who have suffered IN this
way, many of the rich having been
forced to take their places in the
hunger queues, LADIES OF rank having
been so kept alive. Add to all this
that there was not. sufficient fuel TO
make fires, and that the only warmth
to be obtained by the shivering cltl-
zens was by standing in the sun
shine. and the condition of the con-
auered city may be imagined.
A SM1LE.-A beautiful smile is to
tho female countenance what the
sunbeam is to the landscape. 1t en-
bellishes an inferior face and redeems
an ugly one. A smile, however,
should not become habitual-insipld-
ity is the result; nor should the
mouth break into smile on one side
the other remaining passive and un
moved, for this imparts an air OF de
ceit and grostesqueness to the face
A disagreeable smile distorts the
line of beauty, and is more repulslvs
than frown. There are many kinds
of smiles, each having distinctive
character; some announce goodness
and sweetness; others betray sarcasm
bitterness and pride; some soften tn
countenance by their languishin'
tenderness; others brighten it b
brilliant and spiritual vitality. Gaz
ing and pouting before mirror can
not aid in acquiring beautiful smile
half so we'll as to turn the gaze in
ward; watch that the heart keeps un
sullied from reflection of evil, and il
lumined and beautifed by swee
thoughts Exchange.
SENSIBLE ADv1cE.-Always treat
lady with politeness. Such is due t
her sex. No matter though it ms
cost you an act Of hypocricy, no ma
ter, though, for time you may see
to be gentleman, and therefore
at ease, don't fail to perform the a
of grace. Duty is duty; and the ire
man has said success is duty, wet
er duty is success or not. To lad
use kind words, They are easit
cheaper, ought to mean more TIL
others. You have, or once had
loving mother; you may or may
have, or have had, u sister. 1t is o
and the same. The sex merits poll
ness. It is better for it. The sglN
is better, even under the circu
stances just named It is an live
ment that always pays.
