A Worthy Enterprise.

Mr.. L. SOards, our young and enterpris-
ing fellow-citizen, has made arrangements
for the publication of the next annual New
Orleans City Directory. Mr.. Soards has
already obtained handsome patronage to
his enterprise, but as the expense of the
same is considerable, he is anxious to in
crease the secured patronage to such an
amount as will make sure the cost of the
publication. Mr.. Soards has an experience
of over eight years in publications of this
nature. and pledges himself that no exer.
ton or reasonable expense will be spared to
make the City Directory for 1874 superior as
to correctness ETC., to any heretofore pub
lished for New Orleans. Mr. Soards is well
known to most of our business men, being
citizen of New Orleans. An inducement
offered subscribers by the new publ isher is
the fact that they will receive their copies
as soon as issued from the press, and no
sales to nonsubscribers will be made till
after the subscribers have been supplied.
In every community there are always some
persons who, while they believe in enter
prises that partake of public character
and are willing to get the full ben eft of
them, decline to aid them. hoping tha there
are enough persons more generous than
they to carry the enterprise through. Here
in New Orleans these nOn-subscribers often
over estimate the generosity of others, and
the best Enterprises sometimes fail on that

STREET RAILROAD COUP DETAT
Colonel Ben Harrison in Command

Yesterday afternoon. at half past three
o'clock, Colonel Benjamin s. Harrison COM
menced operations for laying the track of
the Royal and Bourbon street railroad, by
breaking ground at the corner of Royal and
Canal streets. In two hours and fifty min
utes all the blocks necessary were displaced
between Canal and Customhouse streets,
and the way marked out through the next
square. Colonel Harrison has a large force
of men. and an equal number to relieve
them. All last night his men were at work.
and will continue their labors through Sun
day, tonight and Monday morning up to
eleven o'clock, when q rest will be taken to
see what action the opponents of the road
will take All night long the sound of the
pick and crowbar, and the lights of extern
pore torches have mingled with songs from
the Bismarck and the Royal Palace.
This somewhat unusual action has been
taken to avoid the necessity of fighting an
injunction at the preliminary stages OF the
work. But Colonel Harr ison has made
every arrangement to prevent any incon.
venience to the denizens along the route.
He has a force of men which will be suffi-
cient to secure the removal of all debris
from the houses, conveyance of all goods
and accommodation of merchants in every
way. No ground will be brokea on
any of the cross streets until Royal street
is complete. When that is done, one in
tersection at time, requiring but . few
hours, will be operated upon.
The route is from the New Orleans, Jack
son and Great Northern railroad depot, on
Clio street. to Louisa street, thr ough Caron-
delet and Bourbon streets. to Louisa street,
and thence through Royal and St. Charles
streets back to the depot.
The guage of the track will, Of course, be
the same, five feet four inches, but the cars
will be much narrower than tho ordinary
car, and will exhibit new principle Of con-
struction. The gauge is as wide IS the car.
Colonel Harrison states that this will leave
. clear space on each side of the track Of
eleven feet three inches, which gives plenty
Of room for the passing of vehicles. The
grade will be reduced in the centre Of the
street to the level of the sidewalk. thus
preventing fitting in vehicles.

goods which they made at auc zion last
