To the Citizens of New Orleans and Louis

The laws of Louisiana preventing the
establishment Of an agency in that State
for the sale of tickets IN the Public Library
Of Kentucky Gift Enterprise, the trustees
desire in this way to call the special atten-
ton of the people of New Orleans and
Louisiana to the fact that the enterprise
they represent is authorized by special act
OF the Kentucky Legislature; that our
drawing was had in December last, which
gave entire satisfaction, and the result of
which was the purchase of a splendid
building, al a cost Of $4,000, in which a
library of s., 600 volumes, and museum Of
600 specimens is now open to the free
use and enjoyment OF every citizen of the
United States. The second drawing will posi-
lively take place December Z, 1872, ard we
have now on deposit in the Farmers and
Dr0vers' Bank $500, 600 in cash to pay the
gifts awarded to ticket holders. The draw
ing will be under the direction OF our most
prominent and distinguished citizens.
among whom are the mayor, judges Of the
highest courts, bank presidents and we'll
known merchants, and the thorough fair
ness Of it may be implicitly relied on. As
no depot for the sale of tickets can be es-
tablished in Louisiana, persons who wish to
invest in a scheme TO build uD noble and
useful institution, and at the same time
take chance for winning fortune, are re
quested to send their orders by mail OF eX-

feminine, and he was correct. The poor
girl finally told her story, saying that she
has been an orphan a long tine, and was
unable to make a decent living in petit
coats, so adopted pantaloons, when she OBJ
tanned employment, near Mobile, hauling
and chopping wood. This failing, she felt
impelled to visit New Orleans, still retain
ing her Disguise, as it had served her well
in the country. Her story was told in
plausible manner, but there are men so
mean as to disbeEe7e her narrative. Her
style is that of a oountry-girl.

One of the most singular yet laughable
circumstances which occurred at the races
last Saturday was greatly enjoyed by all
who happened to be aware Of the fact.
Fat Jack owner Of several fine hacks
which usually stand on st. Charles street,
but whose teams are Frustrated with the
malady, by chance got a seat and half IN
q street car for the fair grounds course.
Only one or two cars were running after
the races, and here was a dilemma for
Jack. He solved the trouble By doing that
which he Is unused to-walking. The walk
is no trihe, and since that time few people
have seen his jolly face.

RELIEF FOR THE PEDEsTRIANS.-We IN
derstand that, in view Of the great distress
prevailing among the residents OF the
Fourth and Sixth Districts OIL account of
the stoppage Of the street cars, Mr.. r. L.
Robinson is making every exertion to place
upon one of the most important roads at an
early day-say tomorrow or the next--a
steamer Of bis own invention, which will
render the public independent Of mules or
horses in the future We have conversed
with many competent judges in such ma
tiers, and have personally witnessed expert
ments with this steam motor, and are. con-
WINGED that Mr.. Robinson has solved the
problem so long engaging the attention, Of
railroad companies; and perhaps this epi-
zootic epidemic may be in reality Blessing,
as it will enable the new motor 70 have
fair and impartial trial. Mr.. Robinson
claims and, it is said, has proved, that his
engine is perfectly manageable, runs with
out noise or any disagreeaUle experiences to
passengers, and as cheaply in the aggregate
as mule power. At all events we presume
the question will be settled in a few days,
ana the enterprising inventor has our best
wishes for his success. In the meantime
the public should render him every assist
ance, should he require any,
