In BAD LUCK Recently, near Germantown,
a woman was scooped up by the coE-catcher
of locomotive. The train couldn't be
stopped until it had run half o mile. The
woman was unhurt When the story of her
escape was told to her husband he said, sadly !:
"Well, I'll be darned if wimmen amt hard
to kill There was my finest Dnrham. He
got on the track and the locomotive struck
him, and there wasn't enough life left in him
to supply animation to a fly. And my horse
ran away with the gig, and the train came
along and hit him and it, and the horse was
killed, and there wasn't q piece of the gig left
big enough to make aplug for the spigot hole
OF barrel. llft
.'Now that wife of mine is Of no account, and
she escapes. It's always the same. If you
have two eggs in your hand, and one is bad
and the other good, and you let them drop,
it's invariably the good one that breaks"
ID And he looked sad and turned his chew of
tobacco in his mouth. and cogitated on the
strange inconsistencies Of accidents.

ONLY Al OLD MANS MIs7AKE.- Eminent
lawyers are not always the safest advisers.
Charles OConor, OF New York, who had
charge OF the prosecutions against Tweed and
his family Of thieves, advised that the suits
to recover the money stolen by them be
brought against them in the name of the
State. fOthsr attorneys less eminent than
O'ConorE advised that the city and county Of
New York fshorld be made the plaintiff in
these case9instead of the State but the emil
nent counssalor's advice was taken. the State
was made plaintG and now the Court Of APP
peals hos decided that the State had NO inter-

The District of Columbia has paid dearly
for its Territorial" dignity. Twenty millions
of debt, dishonored credit, mountain of I'M
paid bills, pect of endless litigation, q
vast expense of newly and poorly paved
streets that will soon entail an immense an
nual expense to keep them in repair, millions
squandered and thousands plundered, the GER
tain prospect of long continued heavy taxa
tion-these are the cost of the Territorial
whistle and the luxury of having Delegate"
in Congress- But happily the District is to
get rid Of its Territorial government. its days
were few but very full Of trouble.

We recorded in previous issue the death,
in this parish, of Mr. Joseph Bridges aged
100 years. Throughout the table lands OF the
Florida parishes and even in the alluvial dis
tricts of central Louisiana, instances of per-
sons living past the five score mark are not
unfrequent and the number now living be-
tween the ages of eighty and ninety is much
above the general average elsewhere. So
much for living in healthy country.

NEW TRIAL GRANTED.

Mr.. VIM. C. Harrison, convicted some
days ago in the First District Court Of
shooting with intent to kill, was yesterday
granted a new trial on the application of
his attorneys, G. L. Hall and Hornor Il
Benedict. In the rule it is alleged that
new testimony which will give an entirely
different complexion to the case in favor of
Mr.. Harrison, has been developed, and that
the evidence of MI. Godboldt, which could
not be taken at the last trial, because he
was charged as an accessory, is Of import
ance, and that having been acquitted by
the jury of all completely in the affair, he
is now competent witness.
Mr.. Harrison was released on bands. He
is a gentleman we'll known in this commu-
nifty, and the facts above set forth will no
doubt be received with pleasure by his
many friends.

THE CANAL STREET BOOTHS.

At the head Of Canal street, just on the
side and front of the principal walk that
leads to the wharf and ferry landing, stands
four tumble down, low blackened shanties,
(the term dignifes them) that are as good
specimen of nuisance intolerable and yet
tolerated, that can be found in this or any
other city.
The structures are eating booths and are
patronized by the negro roustabouts of the
levee very largely, and, at almost any hour
il the day, one will find a number of them
lying around loose or hanging over the
greasy shelf that answers the place of
counter, impeding passage and being a
source Of considerable annoyance to ladies'
This is bad enough but it is not all The
enterprising proprietors of these places
throw all the offal and refuse Immediately
in the rear of the buildings, and within a
short distance of the walk, and the result is
a smell which, though cloud" is by no
means agreeable, and millions Of flies, both
of which are enjoyed by passengers going to
and from the Canal street ferry.
The police state that they are powerless
to abate the nuisance, as permits by Admin
istrator Turnbull for its continuance are
held

PALPABLE DELINQUENCY.

To the Edit rs New Orleans Bulletin:
No one will pretend that it is not the duty
Of those Undertaking TO serve the public,
to 50 manage as to enhance, as far as posi-
BILE, the welfare of their patrons. Those,
however managing most, if not all, our lines
Of street cars, manifest a recklessness con
corning their passengers. by permitting
their vehicles to run with the roof ventila-
tors closed, thus increasing prodiyiOusly the
temperature within. 1t would be abs lrd to
suppose that the parties complained Of are
grossly ignorant Of the properties of at
mospheric air as not to know that a free
outlet for the hot air, which being the light
est, must constantly press against the roof,
causes steady rush of fresh air from with
out to fill the vacuum produced by such
escape through the ventilators.
Is it not, then, manifesty the duty of such
managers, to instruct all drivers never to
permit one Of the roof ventilaters to be
closed, except during heavy rain, to be
forhuih re-opened Nhen it ceases 7 So far
from performing this self-evident duty. they
seem to leave that important matter to the
option Of the drivers. Noticing that most
Of the Magazine street cars were properly
ventilated, ventured to hope that the driver
thereof had been instructed as above indi
Gated. This pleasing delusiOn had, however,
to be abandoned. being Incompatible with
the fact that Nos. ~ and AZ have been
steadily running this season with all the
ventilators closed. The drivers thereof must
ha ignorant Of the qualities Of the atlnos-
phere, OF they would know that their own
post on, in front, would be decidedly cooler
than it is, should they facilitate the rapid
escape Of hot air, and . consequent steady
circulation Of fresh supply. QuERIsr.

AN ARIrHMETICAL, ABoURDIrY.

The city charter requires that the collec-
ton Of city taxes shall begin OH the LIST Of
March and close on the 18th July. Under a
law, which, it is alleged, was passed by the
Kellogg Legislature, at the solicitation OF
the Council. Mr.. Schneider, the Administra-
tor of Finance, the "great investigated. =
ordered the collection to commence on the
18th Of May, and to close on the 18th OF the
present month.
Let us see how fair the Council and Mr.
Schneider are, and whether their action in
this matter is dcfensible. There are, in
round figures, $4,000 bills to be collected
and the parties to transact this business are
four clerks in the finance department, who
work from o'clock A. NJ. to 3 O'Clock P. N
Now, allowing five minutes for the col
lection of each bill-and seine of teen will
take at least fifteen minutes-each clerk
would collect seventy-two bills per day, and
all of them would collect per day two hun
bred and eighty Eight bills, presuming that
they work without the slightest intermis
sion. A very simple calculation will show
that the greatest number of bills that could
be collected in Mr.. Schneider's office in the
time designated would be 1904, or about one
third Of the $4,000. 1t becomes an interest
ing question as to who is to profit most by
the non-collection by the Administrator Of
the vast amount of tax bills that could not
be collected with the present force, even il
the people were willing and anxious to pay

week, at Mason's, corner Market and Centre
streets, Galveston, after an extensive trip
through Texas, inquired for the BULLETIN,

pointed, and told Mr.. Mason that, il he

cents, and both the Pic and Times to boot.

BUILDING THE LEVEES.

Col. d. +. Kenner, the President OF
the Levee Company, agreeably SURPRISED
the delegates to the Levee Convention, by
stating that he had contracted with re-
sponsible party for the construction Of all
the levees in the State at q cents per cubic
yard. These are figures far below the propo
sition of Mr. p. J. Kennedy, who wants IS
cents. However, this is Of no interest to
the people, who have a fixed leyec tax to
pay. 1t simply concerns the Levee Com
pany in the one instance, and the Federal
Government in the other, should the latter
conclude to contract with Mr.. Kennedy, OF
which we do not think there is any proba-
bility whatever.
We are informed, correctly or not, we are
unable to say, that the party contracted
with by the Levee Company is Maj. S. L..
James, lessee of the Penitentiary. In this
institution, we believe, Col. kenner has a
large interest. 1t would look, therefore, as
il ID. Z. Kenner was contracting with d. +.
that D. Z. Kenner will give full and CON-
plete satisfaction to d. +. kenner, aud that
Vice President d. f. Kenner, of the Levee
Company, will give the planters and people
Of the leyee district protection from over
flows by constructing substantial and ade-
auate levees. We believe it is Of little
Importance who builds the levees. What is
waited is simply their reconstruction, and
the people will be thankful to any one who
will do the work

la reported decision Of Judge Cullom, of
he Fifth District Court, in case of Bronson
vs.. Ball, published in Sundays Republican,
we find the following language attributed
to the Judge:
On a motion to quash the writ, Judge
Cullom discharged the defendant. He said
that the arrest seemed to him a strange
proceeding, considering the sentiments OF a
large portion Of the community. There
was a continual expression here of denun-
Citations Of carpet-baggers. If any man
came from the North and settled down to
work, became a citizen, registered as a
voter, served on juries, exhibited an inter
est in public affairs or took part in politics,
he was Immediately enounced as a carpet
Dagger.
We would be pleased to know whether it
is fact that Judge Cullom has SO misinter-
prcted the sentiment Of large portion of
the community" which are not inimical
to the immigrant, whether from the North
or elsewhere, who comes to work and. iden-
tfying himself with the interests Of the
community, assumes the duties and obliga
tons Of citizenship. Such immigration is
desired and encouraged. The term Carpet
Dagger" has Specification too well settled
and accepted to be perverted as in the
above extract. 1t is the adventurer who
comes, not to work, but to fill, take or
nsurp public office and enrich himself at the
expense of the community upon which he
foists himself.
If Judge Cullom does not sympathize
with the denunciation of such, he greatly
disappoints the estimation of that large
portion of the community to whose votes
he is Indebted for his present position.
We incline to the belief that the reporter
drew little on his Imagination, for we be-
lieve the judge is equally with ourselves
and all right thinking people opposed to
those vultures, who have at once ruined
the South and dlsgraced their party.
