Monday the steamboats, La Belle and Belle
TazOo went a voyage OF discovery on
their own responsibility, without steam or
tug, and they went up stream at that
Proving pretty good sailors, there was no
damage.
NUIsANCEs.-All cities must have their
nuisances and one that is IL f1cted on New
Orleans is the beer house called the Crystal
Palace, probably SO named because of its
transparency. Scarcely day or a night
passes that the corner of Chartres and
Cont streets is not disturbed by row. The
place has been running tor some years in
violation of city ordinances Perhaps
Mayor Wilt had better look into it.

man round the corner, and when he re-
turns we will hear more of the trouble.
RUNAwAYs-The line of accidents is in
the runaway groove just now, for horses
seem to have got the fever, bad. No less
than dozen accidents in that way have
occurred within two weeks. The last one
happened Monday evening at the corner OF
st. Charles and Clio streets, when a spirited
team, driven by Mr.. Bosworth. became un.
manageable. Two ladies were in the buggy
with Mr.. Bosworth, and the three were
thrown to the ground at Thalia street. the
ladies sustaining few bruises.

parents are unknown and they may always
remain in obscurity.
Notwithstanding the child was tenderly

from the effect of the exposure it sustained
when under the bridge, where il mus. have
been about two hours in the cold.
Box No 6l3-This fire alarm box. at the
corner of Dauphine and Independence
streets. has had too much attention lately
from miscellaneous hands. Another attempt
was made Monday night to send false
alarm from it, but the operator at the City
Hall was too careful to respond. messen.
ger was sent to the box. and the doos was
found open.
ALI DRY.--The north winds of Monday
and yesterday dried up everything. Peo-
pie and nanimate objects were as crisp as
new postage stamps, and dust was every
where. No corner or Granny was free: dust
was in all places.
SMALL FIREs.-The alarm about one

the river 1t was his last leap, for he was
TOO drunk to save himself.
FROsr. OR No FROST There is Gues-
ton as to whether there was frost Mon
day night. Some cotton plants in the rear
of the First District looked a little bit
.wilted yesterday morning, hut not so bad
as to warrant a belief that frost had
touched them.
ONE OF THE FAST YOUNG MEN.-The son
of a Second District merchant has been
PLAYING fast and loose lately, all on his
fathers money. The youthful spendthrift
collected for the parent, and made no re.
Iurn, or false entries, and the sum involved
will amount to about $1,000. When the
financial crisis came old pater called on one
