AUTUMN T0ICES.
BY LOUISA BUSHNELL
THE LITTLE MAIDS SONG.

THE LITTLE MAIDS SONG.
o happy, happy, shining day!
The time to dance and sing and play!
wish only knew
WHY all the clouds have gone to sleep,
And lie, like flocks of lazy sheep,
Far up there on the blue.
The aster must be glad that mods
So CHEEKY to the golden-rOds;
Wide open is its eye;
And happy Is the scarlet vine,
That runs along the dark green pine,
AS if to reach the sky.
This afternoon, down at the brook,
A bright-eyed squirrel stopped and took
A dozen little drinks:
Some nuts were lying at my feet,
He looked as if he thought them sweet,
And gave some knowing winks.
just then little leaf quite brown
Into the brook came rustling down,
And sailed off like ship;
The squirrel gave his tail a whisk,
Then made funny sideways-frisk,
And left me with skip.
There's red and yellow, green and pink,
And purple tOO-it makes me think
OF Joseph's little coat;
The wood is in a rainbow dressed;
The hills are like robins breast,
Or like my pigeons throat.
Such pretty cOlOrs everywherel
Such pleasant feelings in the airl
Pm glad as glad can be.
Here, Rover, come, let's take run,
And catch goodnight from the sun
Behind the maple tree.

Taking Cold.

If cold settles on the outer covering
of the lungs it becomes Pneumonia, in
hammation of the lungs, or lung fever,
which in many cases carries the strongest
man to his grave within week. If cold
falls upon tie inner covering of the lungs
it is pleurisy, with its knife-like pains and
its slow, very slow recoveries. If cold
settles in the joints, there is rheumatism
with its agonies of pain, and rheuma-
tism of the heart, which in an instant
sometimes snaps the cords of life with
no friendly warning. 1t is of the utmost
practical Importance, then, in the wintry
weather, to know not so much how to
cure cold as to avoid it. Colds always
come from one cause, sometimes part OF
the whole of the body being colder than
natural for time. If a man will keep
his feet warm always and never allow
himself to be chilled, he will never take
cold in a lifetime, end this can only be
accomplished by due care in warm cloth
ing and the avoidance of drafts and un-
due exposure. While multitudes of colds
come from cold feet, perhaps the major
ity arise from persons cooling OIL too
quickly after becoming little warmer
than is natural from exercise or work, or
from confinement to warm apartment.

THE CITY HALL.

1t is gratifying t" perceive that the
Peayune has at last withdrawn Its opposi-
ton to the ditching on Claiborne street.
The plan is SO feasible and SO necessary
that it should command confidence at once.
Here is what the Pic says about it:
The dltching of Claiborne street has com
menced, which is to drain the surface water
into Toulouse street canal, running along
side the Canal Carondelet to the GalveZ
street canal.
The reason why the dirt eXcavated from
GalveZ canal, between the New canal and
Common street, is not given away to fill
lots in the rear of the city, is because the
dirt win be required to fill the Canal street
canal from Claiborne to Galvez street.
The contract for the ditchicg of Claiborne
and Toulouse streets has been undertaken
at $1,000, to be finished within three weeks.
The system embraces a small ditch on each
side of the Claiborne street neutral ground
as a substitute for the large ditch on the
lake side Of the same street.
Mr.. Bell estimates that the proposition
of the Board of Health, to alter the grades
back Of Claiborne street to Gaivez, would
require at least six months to accomplish
at a cost of $4,000; and meanwhile, he
states, the excavated dirt on Galvez street
would have to remain where it is. the Canal
street canal having to be kept open for
drainage purposes. The time required to
alter the grades mentioned above he
ascribes to the want of deep gutter curbs
in this city and to the labor attending the
cutting of about 10000 feet Of bitches.
The Conncil has not yet elected the re-
corders, but it is not improble that heduty
will be performed very shortly. There are
a number of candidates for each Office, all
of whose claims will be duly considered.
The delay can do no one any harm. No
good or wise purpose could be accomplished
by haste.
The recent rains have again put the she'll
roads in a wretched condition. The street
commissioner, however. is making all the
haste he can to repair them.
Nothing has been said Of late about the
rotary pump. What has become of it,

MATAMoRAs, April 3.-General Cortina,
after his defeat at Baqueria. succeeded in
evading the revolutionists in pursuit of
him, and reached his headquarters at Rey-
nosa yesterday with an escort of about ten
men. General Quiroga is reported to have
reviewed his troops at Camargo, and
marched out Of that place toward Liuares
to join the troops said to be gathering there
to advance on this city, leaving only a small
garrison to guard Camargo.
Matamoras authorities captured over one
hundred head of stolen Texas cattle while
they were being crossed into Mexico, and
caught six of the thieves. who were lodged
in Jail here. This is the second raid on
cattle thieves by the authorities here, who
have suddenly reused themselves to a sense
of their duty in consequence of the action
of Congress.
Eight prisoners captured from the revolu-
tionists reached here to-day.

THE METAIRIE RACES,
The Turf Picture.

1t will be seen that the resumption of the
| races has been postponed until Saturday.
The bad condition of the track and the un-
| favorable aspect of the weather has occa-
stoned it. 1t will, however. not affect the
programme already announced, and the
races will proceed as if there had been no
interruption. Indeed the most interesting g
part Of the sport is yet to occur. The
famous Minor stake for three-year-olds is
looked forward to with absorbing interest.
There have been twenty-three nominations
for it one-half Of the horses Of which will
start.
race mile heats, will form the second
part of the programme, to be succeeded by
the race for the Metairie Cup sweepstakes
for all ages, two miles and a quarter $1,000
added, and another cup, the present of Mr.
Sanford, of New York. valued at $1,000
There are nine entries, all Of them splendid
animals, giving assurance of a spirited con-
test
By the way, we had the pleasure yester-
day Of inspecting Mr.. Noises magnificent
painting, Life on the Metairie," which may
be seen at Eyrich's Kan q Coz on Canal
street. Some new faces have been added
to it. Among them we perceive that of the
gallant turfman and genial gentleman,
Rufus Hunt, Esq. 1t is right that he should
have place with those who are distin-
guished for their devotion to the turf.
None experience more fully its raptures;
none advance its interests with more
royal hand. Near that of Mr.. Hunt is the
face of William NJ. Conner, the secretary
of the course. 1t, too, is an admirable like
ness, and enhances in no ordinary degree
the value of the picture. We congratulate
Mr.. Noise on the addition. Both gentle
men are well known in New Orleans: are
so long residents, indeed, as to be almost to
the manor born, and are esteemed for their
generous qualities and high-toned courtesy.
The sale of pools will be continued by
DR.. Underwood at Hawkins to- night. Quite
d spirit of rivalry has sprung up among the
contestants in the races, and betting is both
lively and heavy, and what is singular
none of the horses appear to have acquired
the position OF favorite, SO equally are
they matched.

Races in New Orleans-P0Ol Selling
Salina First Choice for the TwO-Mile

New York seems to be quite as much
interested in the Metairie races as New
Orleans is The World of Saturday says:
There was fair attendance of racing
men. and others interested in the turf, at
Johnson's pool room, corner OF Twenty
eighth street and Broadway, last evening.
They were disappointed, however, IN not
being able to invest their money on the
flyers that are announced to run at New
Orleans to-day, as the dispatch received by
the Messrs. Jolnson-althOugh 1t gives the
horses entered for the dash OF mile and
q half. and for the mile heats-failed TO
saw which horses were in each. The dis
patch, however announced that the start
ers for the Bingaman stake. a dash of two
miles. for four-year olds, were Salina, Nellie
Ransom, Saucebox, Hollywood, Stockwood
and Creole Dance. The fact of an error in
the dispatch had made such dampening
effect on those present that but few pools
were sold on the race. Those sold. how.
ever, made Sallna first choice, with Nellie
Ransom and Hollywood at even figures for
second, while scarcely anything could be
got for the balance. The selling of pools
will be continued on Monday evening,
when johnson expects to have his arrange
ments complete for a prompt and correct
transmittal of the result of each race, and
the entries for each succeeding day in New
Orleans.
