BLoCKADING THE BAxoUErrEs. a
lew dealers in central streets have an ex-
| ceedlngly bad habit of piling all eorts of
wares on the banquettes in front Of their
stores, greatly to the annoyance and detri-
ment of pedestrians. In rnany instances
these distractions are unnecessary, result.
ing III NO benefit to the owners This
nuisance has recently grown into sap I'm.
bearable size, and calls have been made on
the authorities at the City Hall for abate-
ment. Administrator Lewis recently issued
IN order, under the new ordinance, to his
3rOfficers to warn OFT all violators, and in case
OF non compliance to make regular afiida-
Wits. Several charges were made in the
FIRST District, and warrants issued. The
de!lnquents went to court, but Judge Ger
non inconinently dismissed the suits,
/ greatly to the surprise Of every one in the
| department OF improvements. That is one
reason why the ordinance is not enforced.
A WONDERFUL Doc "WHo" UNDER
STANDS ENGLIsH.-Late Tuesday night
u,
II bystauders specimens OF his dogs acquire
Fl ments, at the corner of Perdido aud st.
h Charles streets. The master quietly, with
Il out gesture OF any kind, told his dog to walk

/ into it. Doggy obeyed, though reluctantly,
Il as the wagon was cart, but he finally COM

on IT, IhiH done, he was told to 20 into the
Pul:caC saloon, find chair and sit in it,
tLaH % look up a beer barrel and stand on
ir: Their to lie down and act like poisoned
dog. These orders were given in the most
common place tone of voice, and most of
the time the beast could not see his master,
yet he obeyed quite as readily as a willing
servant apparently understanding the Eng
lish language very well. Of all the dogs
that ever showed off on ST. Charles street.
that one is entitled to the premium. Those
who witnessed the performances were not
only amused but greatly astonished; in fact,
one individual, having witnessed portion

that looked so altogether unnatural
BIDS TOR THE CITY MARKETs.-Our city
fathers yesterday broke the mOnotOny OF
their daily rounds, by opening bids in an
swer to their advertisement offering the
public markets for sale. There was only
one solid bid, that of Messrs. Maybe & Co.,
who offer $3.50. 532 tor all for the coming
year. Henry Wesenback offered $3.50 per
month tor the Claiborne market. +. Dn-
pierrey bids $4,000 for the Beef market.
J. Dumestre will give S5lG0 for the Clai-
borne market. Jacob Stentz bids $1,000 for
the Jefferson City ma. ket. These were all
the bids received, so Mr.. f. N. Norman,
clerk OF the comaerce department informs
Gus. The above will go before the Council
next Tuesday tor action, when it is proba-
bic that the Maybe bid will be accepted.
Biuch can DC said in favor of selling the
markets for the entire year yet there are
eircum stances which slightly favor the
monthly sales. The proposed method will
save much time, labor and uncertainty.

consequence.

There are rumors on st. Charles street
that the present grand jury IS red hot and
