PALACE CARs.-It has been intimatel
that one or more city lines Of ears will
soon place palace cars on their tracks, such
as are in limited use in few large cities.
There are features in the innovation which

Glass, and will doubtless prove very pleasant
to them, even while paying an extra fare.
As the plan succeeds well in New York it
may in New Orleans. Comfort, and even
luxury, are not to be despised, even though
they may not be INDUCED in by all classes
of people. A car fitted up elegantly, with
soft cushions and gilt holdings, would have
attractions that hard seats and harder
backs do not possess.

Local Intelligence.

Music FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.-On
the fourth of March our firemen march forth
on their annual parade and display. Every
company will require band Of music, con-
seuuently, all the local bands suddenly de-
mand hundreds Of dollars for their services.
Years past our fremen have been compelled
to paw prices tLat were akin to extortion.
Now is the time to end this, and the end
may, in part, be gained by sending to
neighboring cities for music, and proclaim
ing the fact that outrageous sums are paid
for brass bands on the fourth Of March.
We make this publication in the hope that
the firemen will be benefited, and that
bands of other cities may learn Of the splen-
did opening in New Orleans.
One or two companies have sent abroad,
and succeeded in securing excellent music
for the parade. Another suggestion may be
considered. Let the fire department make
q purse, and hire no more than three or four
bands, thus decreasing the demand for mu.
sic, and the immense prices will Immediately
come down. Really, there is no necessity
for every company to- have its own band,
and it is hoped that the fire fighters will
consider all the points, thus Kidding them
selves OF an unwarranted expense.

the Septoline Oil Company, No. - Dauphine

stood, and while lighting it the burner con-
tanning the lighted wick fell Oft The lamp
toward the floor, and struck the top of the
septoline oil can, which happened to be
there, causing an explosion Of the can, ac-
companied by loud report equal to that
of firing off a gun, setting fire to her cloth
ing, in the endeavor to extinguish which
she burnt her hands and face severely. Her
husband had his hands also severely burnt
in the same efforts.
They reside now at No. 80 Burgundy

A CAR-DRlvER SARCAsM.-A few favored
passengers on Carrollton street car re-
Gently enjoyed bit Of quiet sarcasm that
they will not forget soon. A lady on gal
lery waved her handkerchief for the driver
of a green car to stop for her, but the
drivers eyes were directed elsewhere. A
passenger noted the signal, and tapped the
bell. After an unusual delay the lady
reached the car, apparently in no good
humor She chided the driver for not stop
ping short, and asked him why he did not
halt. His reply was made politely, but full
of meaning: ''Since the chambermaids On
this street commenced making faces at me
from the galleries pay no heed to signals
from house-tops." The irate passenger sud
denly took her seat, finding no sympathetic
looks among those she had delayed. Even
a car driver has some rights that travellers
must respect.
