This reminds IN OF . practical Joke once

he had accepted numerous strong cocktails,

loosened. Several well known gentlemen
were present. waiting for shower to pass
away. Paddy interrupted their converse
tiOn so often that they resolved to seek re.

corner of Carondelet and Lafayette streets.
He led the horse up Carondelet street SO far
that the milk cans would receive the water
from . shed spout; he removed the can
cover, which was no sooner done than an
old time thunder shower poured down. When
the rain was heaviest Clark's attention was
called to the outside situation. cataract
of water was deluging his milk cans, foam
ing over like q Niagara. Paddy at first,
felt warlike, and expressed q desire to muir
der the person who had caused him such
loss and put so great. an indignity on him.
However, another invitation to partake OF

and he smiled o CHASTITY smile while the
gentlemen were laughing heartily at his ex-

drink another of the jOkers slipped out and
turned the faucets, flooding the cart with q
queer mixture of milk and water, when the
peddler's attention was again called to
what had been done. Then he raved and
tore as if he would like to kill five or six
men. He jumped into the cart, stopped the
faucets and dashed his horse over the rough
-cObble stones Of CarOndelet street, but had
forgotten to replace his can covers: As he
dashed along at terrible speed the water
stopped over flying in all directions. Pad
dy's hat had blown off, but he needed
nothing, not even the ringing Of his own
bell which had been stolen by . mischiev-
GUS lad to assist the fun. The bell was then
pawned for q round Of drinks. and was not
redeemed until Clark liquidated tho bill.

ELECTION FOR DELEGArES.-Yesterd
the Democratic ward clubs held elections to
select delegates who are to make up nOm-
mating convention to name persons tor the
eeveral different parish and city offices.
There were candidates and candidates, I'M
Gil a man could see nothing else. At some
of the polls there were dozens Of split tick

IN THE CITY HALL-The several depart
ments in our City Hall were dali and unin'
teresting yesterday. Administrator Sturck-
en- made some show of business in attending
to pile of applications for reduction in
assessments, and in nearly all cases the
written requests we're granted.
Administrator Lewis did little else than
attend to visitors, though in the morning he
took a look at the wharves and acknowl-
edges that they are in miserable condition.
By lack of finances he is unable to perform
any work.
The other departments wear a listless air
and the Mayors parlOr was quite deserted.
Even politics was not discussed, but one
subject produced little conversation. A
statement had been made that the new bill
would be promulgated in a few days, but
that did not produce much more than a
ripple on the surface When the treasury
is empty and no one to purchase time certi-
fcates men grow Indifferent about their
positions.
