3he Case of ClyhRIn.meg.

Our old friend Clyhammer had a habit Of
waking in his sleep, and when he visited
his father-in-laws house one night last Jan
uary. he determined to fasten cord to his
leg, and tie the other end (of the cord, not
the other end Of his Leg. to something. so
that the jerk would wake him if he attempt
ed a somnambul:stic prowl Ciyhanlner
saw pole projecting above the widow-sill.
OF the outside, and it occurred TO MIN that
it would he IA good thing to tie the cord to
that. So he did, and then turned in and
went to sleep. The pole was really one end
OF ladder. Clyhammer did not walk any
that night, but about six O'clock il the
morning, while he was still asleep.
the workMen came after the ladder:
As they tried 20 take it down, they oe-
served that it stuck, but. thinking It was
frozen, they gave it a terrific pull. and,
the next minute, an able bodied American
citizen named Clvhammer, dressed ii al
bracing q bolster, might have ben seen
emerging suddenly from second-story
window. feet foremost. At first Ciyhani-
mer thought there had been an earthquake,
but when the workmen, not seeing him,
began to move down the street, with the
ladder on their shoulders, and CiEhammer
dangling on the end, with che leg held by
a string, and his garments trailing in the
delicious morning breeze, he grasped the
situation, and commenced TO reason with
the workmen, and to present the matter TO
them IN different lights. and to swear and
insist on being released. Wien they got
him home he had eleven kinds of rheumat-
ism, and all tie known varieties OF neGra-
gia. He rivets himsei now to tie bedstead
at nights.

Lieutenant Governor C. G.. Antoine ap-
peared in the convention, in compliance
with an invitation previously extended,
and was invited to make an address. He
spoke about twenty minutes. chiefly upon
the subject of education, and referred to
the close connection which it bears with
the Christian religion, and the great neces-
sity for a more thorough diffusion OF
knowledge, especially among the colored
people, who have, within few years past,
had new and important responsibilities i'm
posed uDOn them.
He expressed the hope that the Legisia

steps toward extending the advantages of
education. SO that all might reap the bene-
fit, ana pledged himself to use all the iutiu-
ence as could command to bring about such
result.

voted his attention mainly to the immedi

and by such a union as is sought to be eft
tected, the influence of the church could
be greatly increased. He hoped that the
convention would be completely successful
in all its present efforts.

distinguished gentlemen who had addressed
the assembly.

A CHANGE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS three
years ago tie First District Court was COM
pelled to leave the room corner of st. Peter
aud Charities streets, and rooms in the old
Orleans Theatre building were fitted up for
it at considerable expense. At the time
the change was made all interested parties
expressed themselves tolerably well salts
fed. A change has taken place. and now
the rooms are considered aboninable. I'M
endurable. When the old theatre was re.
modelled for the court there were whispers
that it was job for the purpose of advanc-
ing the financial interests of somebody"
but, OF course. that was the spleen of en-.
viou5 men. II it was job, has the ring
exploded +! Or, perhaps, somebody" has
another building without tenant.
