LOCAL PARAGRAPHS.

All the trains arriving in the city
I yesterday brought in heavy passenger
lists.
The jolly police afford few local para
graphs these times. Last night, for in
stance, the docket had only one wretched
"drunk" upon it.
Another conspiracy among the milk
men Of the town is spoken OF. This time
they say they are going to improve the
tactical and lower the price.
The Borneo men, at the Fair
Grounds, are well worth a visit. They
are great curiOsities. And that parrot
well, there never was such a bird.
There is to be q brass band Of thirty
five pieces in the Exposition this week,
or early next. 1t was employed at a
cost Of three hundred dollars per day.
Attention is called TO the card Of
Superintendent Slaughter Of the public
schools. There can be no doubt this
time, sc the young folks viii have a jolly
trip to-day.
An honest hack-driver found a stray
horse on the levee last night. He took
the trouble to lodge the animal in the
livery stable adjacent to the police sta
ton. That h~ack-driver did a good act.
An old dog that had walked all the
way TO the city from Brownsville to see
the Exposition, was found dead at the
door of that Institution about ten o'clock
Wednesday night. Strangely enough
his master, who had been in town three
or four days, was in the building at the
time.
The new residence for the Domini-
can Fathers will be commenced about
January. 1t is TO be erected on the site
Of the present dwelling adjoining st
Peters church. The new structure will.
be larger and more cOmmOdiOus than
the present one, and will cost fright
smart of money"
"A bold scamp went to the police
Office last night and said that there Were
three murders perpetrated at the end Of
Adams street, and he wanted q half
dozen policemen out there. He reused
up the excitement Of the officers, and
having created a big fuss and a tremen-
dous row generally, he suddenly disap-
peaTed and wa heard of no more.
Wednesday night, very late, a gen
tleman from Nashville walked out Of his
bed and out Of his rOOm, and out through
the wide hall Of the Peabody Hotel, and
stopped not till he reached Schwab's
store, across the street. He was nude
almost, and the police had much diff
Guilty in persuading him back to bed.
He was a curiOus-lOoking object, out
there in the dampness and cold, stock
ingfOOted, bareheaded, etc. He was SUI
fering from hallucination, and it wa
difficult to persuade him that Schwab's
doorstep was not the seat he was look
ing for.
There was nothing remarkably new
in the Exposition Building yesterday,
except the tremendous rush of country /
visitors. These filed the building at
an early hour, and kept it full all day.
The Exposition, therefore, presented a
more truly wholesome scene than
any day since the opening. The
crowd viii continue now to attend
every day. as the whole thing is COM
plete in all its details, and presents a
very pleasing and instructive sight to
the instructed and the unrestricted
eye. The f%orty-powsr brass bands
nom st. LOUIS, will be here
which will add immensely to
the nightly attractions. We may then
10 see crowds every evening.
There are fireworks at the building, a
fitting Inauguration Of the glories Of the

Two eolored girls, one as big and
as the Fat Woman at the Fair,
he other thin and wiry, had a rOusing
ight last night in the room Of NJ.
jE. The policemen supposed ,
hey went there to clean it out, and they j
i'd so in a very satisfactory manner.
)ne OF them smashed a bottle over the
head, and thus NJ. c., jr., lost bis
and the other sliced the first, as
T she had been a bacon ham, with NJ
s razor. NJ. c., jr., did not put up a
Jrfeit for the gentle damsels, and the
Apply pair spent the night in the lock-
p. The facts will be developed on the
hearing" this morning before II
Recorder, and if the two women /.
make as much noise as last night, !
Winters will have no hearing 4,
ny more. NJ. c., jr., is already as deaf ;
