Mardi Gras at the Academy.

The preparations for Mardi Gras at the
Academy are now nearly complete, and the
brilliant prospect gives assurance of one of
the most elegant cotarie CarWirnl and bal
maSque which any previous occasion has
seen. The arrangement is exclusively I'M
der the management OF our most prominent
citizens, and every precaution taken to in
sure the pleasure and enjoyment of its pa
irons. We have no doubt, therefore, that
Mardi Gras at the Academy Will in future
be referred to as one OF the pleasantest cpl
sOdes of the Carnival

McComb and Scott.
This is from the BrOOkhayen Citizen.

Colonel H. s. cComb, Thomas A. Scott.
and other railroad kings, are now on trip
through this section OF the South, having
closed an agreement for the lease of the
Memphis and Charleston road. During a
short term, Colonel McComb has done more
to advance our railroad interests than was
accomplished by the ''old fogies" of former
days in thrice the length of time. Under
his management, the New Orleans, jackson
and Great Northern railroad has been made
one among the best roads of the South.
Every convenience is given its patrons; all
debts of the company are promptly paid:
and the increased amount of business is
evidence of it's growing popularity.
We would like to see thousand McCOmbs
in our midst. Although some of our ex-
changes are daily growing about the aid
given him by the State, we, for one, are
proud to see men of Colonel McCOmb's en-
ergy receiving aid. 1t is true he receives a
handsome benefit, but it is equally true that
our people here will continue to receive
equal benefits from his numerous railroad
enterprises, none of which was ever known

Local Intelligence.

AN ODD jury Coroner Creagh was
compelled to hold an inquest on the body Of
Richard Anderson, found dead at the corner
of Fulton and Girod streets Monday night
When the body was laid out in the first pre-
cinct stationhouse half dozen press report
ers assembled to gather the news. Each re-
porter was perambulating interrogation
point-a living query--an animated ques-
toner. The coroner was overwhelmed with
questions by these men, until his head be-
came confused. Suddenly an idea struck
him, when he ranged five of the reporters in
row, and quickly swore them in as jury
of inquest. During the inquest it can be
imagined that no question was omitted, and
all necessary information CLEANED by the
members Of that odd jury. After post
mortem examination by DR.. Ames, a verdict
was rendered declaring that death was
caused by disease of the heart.

The Calico" Pic. SAYS:

The grand jury was this Tuesday, morn
ing making the proper Investigations in
reference to the homicide of Walter Whey
land, member of the Legislature, which
occurred on the ninth of January last. The
deed, according to public rumor, was per-
petrated by the Warmoth police.
For q journal that processes to deal in
facts, this is rather a gross exaggeration of
the truth. To say that Walter Wheyland
was murdered by the police is a deliberate
misstatement of facts.

PAssIONATE.-On the twentieth of No.
yember Michael Gleason permitted his bad
passions to run clear away with his discre-
ton, when he struck out right and left with
a knife for the person of Patrick Rogan.
The wounds inflicted were not considered of
so much consequence as were the direful
threats which tell from Gleason's dirty
tongue; he declared that he would have
Patrick's life-blood; or die in the bloody at
tempt. This conduct dispatched Rogan to
the law for protection, and he is to-day
nearly satisfied, as Recorder Houghton sent
the papers to a jury, the members of which
must not read single word of this report,
because they might then act intellisently.
