A WkiZ and a Whirr.

On Monday afternoon, while party of
ladies and gentlemen were dining at the
Lake House, they were startled by the
whiz and crash of bullet in close proxim-
ity withstheir nasal appendages. Jumping
to their feet they were astonished to see a
handsomely dressed young man struggling
with dashing and beautiful girl. Upon
inquiry it seems that the parties were re-
spectively an inmate of a fashionable house
on Basin street. and the son of wealthy
merchant in New York. The cause of the
difficulty was jealousy, the girl being, as it
seems, the aggrieved party, and determined
that no one but herself should possess the
affections of this youthful Adonis, at
tempted to manipulate him in such man
ner as to render his visage utterly obnox-
ious to every one but herself The bullet
grazed bis ear, and lodged in the wall,
mitch to his satisfaction. This is only one
of the many occurrences of this kind, and
plainly exhibits what woman will do for
or to the man she loves. The affair was
amicably settled afterward, and they re-
tired where the woedbine twineth, and
''still dey don't vas habby."

St, Joseph,s Fair.

The fair of st. Joseph's Church closed on
Tuesday evening at the hall, corner of
Derbigny and Common streets. 1t has
proved gratifying success, and to Ser
geant Lawler, Officers Walsh, McLough-
ian, Williams and Robinson are due a great
deal of credit, for their success in maintain
ing good order. By their untiring energy
everything has passed pleasantly. In the
various contests great excitement prevailed.
Mr.. G. w. Crosby got the horse and buggy.

ceived 100 votes. Father Beecher received

whether George Peabody had become q
citizen of that country on account Of his
long residence in England. Mr.. Amber
declined to 60 into the case of George Pea
body, preferring to keep to that Of DR..
Howard. There was not q pretense that
after this man had graduated in this
country and returned to Cuba he
had ever declared an intention Of
coming back to the United States, and even
if he had that wouldn't have weighed any
thing against an apparent permanent resi-
dence; in point Of fact, this man had been
in Cuba since 1822-ffty years-and had
never during that time become an American
citizen, and for twenty-eight years he had
never set foot on American soil. He denied
that any case could be found in any law
book to justify the claim that shis man was
an American citizen; this claim was an inn
possible one.
The State Department had been inclined
to stretch its authority, and had been en-
deay0ring to interpose its kind odEces be-
tween DR.. Howard and the bloody tyran-
nical government which oppressed him.
Before this government interfered as ma
ton, 1t should be sure that it had right to
interfere; before it commenced to sIccOr
its citizens it should, at least, have good
healthy ground of suspicion that the fell
lows are citizens Of the United States.
Mr.. Garfield suggested that this govern
ment was resisting claims made against it
by British subjects domiciled in the South
during the war whom it had treated as
American citizens.
( Mr.. Banks denied that there was any
analogy between the cases.
. Without proceeding further in the debate
the House adjourned.

THE CITY HALL.

As usual of late, business is on the wane
at the "Hall." Municipal interests do not
appear to engage much consideration, in
view of the fact that politics just now Is
of greater importance. So at least every
body. appears to think. Nevertheless, the
Administrators are apparently taking the
right view Of everything that comes before
them.
In anticipation that the funding bill will
60 into speedy operation, Administrator
Walton is taking steps to have engraved
the new bonds of the consolidated debt.
An ordinance authorizing the Mayor to con-
tract with the Continental Bank Note Com
pany for the engraving was adopted at the
last session of the Council.
The Administrator of Finance has been
instructed by the Council to come to set
tlement with the park commissioners.
The Girod street asylum, it is believed,
will be made very comfortable as house
Of refuge for orphan girls.
The securities on the bonds of the de-
faulting levee dues collectors having so far
been unable to come to an understan ding
concerning the proposition Of the defalca-
tions for which each is liable, Administrator
Remick has decided to commence suit i'm
mediately against the securities to recover
the amount due to the city.
The waterworks question is far from being
solved. 1t appears that certain portions of
the Second District and other localities are
provided with clay instead of iron water
pipes, which will not stand the pressure of
the water if forced directly from the river
into the mains. Now, the question arises,
which will be more economical, to restore
the reservoir to its previous condition, or
to substitute iron for clay pipes wherever
they are laids

Tyler The underwriters claim that the
Tyler, besides serving the direct interests of
the insurance companies, renders invaluable
services to the city by supplying the unpro-
vided districts with water in cases of fire.
Complaints have been addressed to the
Administrator of Police, Colonel Lewis, by
these gentlemen that the ordinances for
storing coal oil are not enforced with that
rigor which would be SO material to the
safety of New Orleans.
Count w. Soldatenkoff, director of the
prison committee of St. Petersburg, duly
accredited by the Russian government, is
on visit to this city ON a tour of investi-
CATION regarding the prison system of the
United States. Mayor Flanders has ap
pointed to-day noon for the purpose Of Wis.
iting the prisons of New Orleans. Doubt
less the distinguished visitor will be highly y
instructed after his experience, espe cially
when he has been made acquainted with the
workings of the Parish Prison and the In
sane Asylum.

Hernandez Pantomime Troupe.

The "Black Crook" with its large COM
pany, elegant wardrobe and dazzling
scenery, leaues for Galveston on Sunday
morning, consequently we can have only
two more chances to see that brilliant spec
tacle. But Manager Bidwell has succeeded
in securing the great Hernandez Panto-
mime Troupe to follow the "Crook" in his
favorite theatre, the Academy of Music.
The coming company is said to be not only
complete in every particular to produce the
largest and latest pantomimic sensations,
but also embraces full ballet corps, COM
pany of gymnasts and acrobats, and numer-
GUS specialties in orchestra, singing and
dancing. The opening pantomime is not
named yet, but we hear Mr.. Hernandez will
give us, besides many novelties, his ludi.

This company remains at the Academy only
one week,

1t is reported in Newfoundland that the
steamship Polaris, which conveyed Captain
Halls polar expedition, put back to Green
land last month. No particulars had reached
st. Johns up to date of the transmission Of
dispatch to firm in this city. This news
was procured from French trader, who
says that the vessel which sailed from
Greenland and put into the harbor Of st.
Pierre announced that Captain Hall had ar
rived in Greenland on board the United
States ship Polaris. As the trader under
stood the news, he believed the Polaris was
not homeward bound, but had only re-
turned through stress of weather and want
of coal or. provisions. All on board are re-
ported well.

The State Fair.

The sixth annual grand State fair of the
Mechanical and Agricultural Association of
Louisiana opened yesterday at the Fair
Grounds. Everything seemed to be con flu
sion, not one department being ready (al-
though they expect to be to-day Especi.
ally is this noticeable in tho machinery de-
partment, of which MIR. Bailey is superin-
tendent, although he is ready and the engine
running, etc. Exhibitors are behind hand,
not even having put up, or commenced to
put up, their machinery, and even yester-
day some wanted space to exhibit.
Why lag they SO behind' Certainly as
well for the benefit of the public as for
themselves the exhibitors ought to be anx-
ious to make success of any fair that re-
quires promptness and unanimous action.
The officers of the fair association have
done all in their power to be ready on the
opening day, and were so, but they require
cooperation from exhibitors.
There were not more than two hundred
people on the grounds yesterday during the
whole day. In the machinery department
we noticed only one or two parties who
were in readiness for exhibition, Messrs.
Stauter, Kent & Co., who display large
collection of agricultural implements of all
sorts, especially plows. There is also on
exhibition under the machinery shed a port
able railway and cars, of which further
mention will be made. Mr.. Pulver has on
exhibition machine for the manufacture
of turpentine from wood, but it is not up,
so we can give no description. In the
other departments no one is prepared for
exhibition. Messrs. Griswold exhibit a
very fine collection Of jewelry and silver
ware, among which is handsome sterling
silver model of Hiawatha's canoe, valued
at $1,000.
The races were run as announced.
To-day will be the grand gala day, when
all business will be suspended in the city,
and everybody will go to the fair.
