A Runlpus in Court.
Attorneys Sent to Jail.

During trial yesterday afternoon before
Judge Cullom, on habeas corpus, quite q
lively little scene ensued. 1t appears that
Mr.. Gastinel, appearing for the State, and
D. NJ. C. Hughes, Esq. for the relator, got
into wrangle about some question Of fact
in the testimony. After considerable spar
ring, one of the legal gentlemen gave the
other the lie, and Judge Cullom immediate
ly stopped the trial.
After reading the irate lawyers lecture
OH their duty as advocates and the respect
they owed the Court, he said that if they
had been witnesses there might have been
some excuse for their ignorance of the
usage in courts of law, but as they were
attorneys, he would give them the full
punishment, and accordingly he sentenced
the gentlemen to ten days in the Parish
Prison and $50 fine. Order in court!

Snow Storm in the West.
Also Along the Mississippi Central
Railroad.
No Interruption to the Trains.

Cot. E. A. Bnrke, of the Jackson Railroad
has kindly furnished us with the informa
ton, received by telegraph, that a heavy
snowstorm was raging at Louisville yesterday
morning. Snow was falling also along the
line of the Mississippi Central Railroad.
This is certainly an extraordinary occur
renee for the month of April, and will, no
doubt, cause great injury to the fruit and
other crops which the mildness Of the past
season has caused to be unusually advanced.
We are glad to learn that the recent rains
have not interrupted the running of the
trains on the Jackson or Mississippi Central
roads, and that all is quiet along the levee
lines above the city.

AnnOyances Of SsOrekeepers.

1t is sometimes asked why storekeepers
are not more polite and Obliging to their Gus
toners. If their patience is often tested as
severely as that of a stOrekeeper in New
Bedford, it is not matter of surprise if they
become unamiable. A lady entered this
mans store recently, and inquired for para
soils. The obliging proprietor spread out
before her samples of q large and varied
stock. Have you any Of this shade, size
largeri" said the lady. The size larger was
produced. ~ think on the whole prefer
the size smaller" The size smaller was pre-
sented. "Have you any Of this size, a
lighter shade of bluei" The required shade
was brought out. Haven't you any OF this
kind, with crooked handlep The shade
with the crooked handle appeared. "Have
you any with the crooked handle not quite
so heavyi" said the lady, and so continued
her inquiries for every conceivable size,
shade and weight possible in The line of par
asols. After nearly an -FOUR had been thus
consumed, the fair shopper gathered up her
handkerchief and gloves, and moved for the
door. "Can't sell you parasolr in
quired the exhausted proprietor. 20 dear,
no." replied the lady; al was merely in
quiring the prices. l am going into mourn

and the descriptions are pasted on the back

as long as it is safe to allow them to, in
hopes that they will be identified and claim
ed. If IA body is not claimed it is put in a
pine box, to the end Of which a number is
placed corresponding to one on a photo

ter's field, on Harris Island. without form or
religious ceremony, the work being perform
ed by convicts
Pits or trenches are dug, fifty feet long,
twenty -oMe feet wide and Pine feet deep.
In these collins are laid in tiers. side by side,
in three rows, the spaces between the larger
collins being filled by the collins Of children
and infants. After the bottom OF pit has
been covered by one layer, a few inches of
dirt is thrown on and leveled down; on this
another layer is placed, and so on till the pit
is filed within few inches of the top. The
top is then covered with dirt and rounded
over. Stakes are placed at each end to indi
cate boundaries. Before one pit is filled
another is dug, but space of ten feet is
allowed between the pits. An effort is made
to pack the bodies in order of the numbers
on the rude collins, so that an idea may be
had of where in the pit a body lies, in case
it is necessary to disintcr.

The Overflow i'm LafOurche.
Great Destruction Of Property.
Extreme Suffering Of the People.

The following letter, which has been
kindly furnished us, tells sad and harrow
ing tale of devastation and suffering which
appeals strongly to OIL, sympathies:
TmBoDAUx, La. April 9, 1874.
r. L. Robertson. Esq, Howard Association:
Ny Dear Shr-The inundation on Bayou
Lafourche, some four miles above this place,
has covered the farms of many small plant
ers, destroying their crops and gardens,
leaving no dry ground for their cattle and
poultry. Their condition is in the extreme
distressing, and the people here, without
one particle of exaggeration, unable to
help them.
In this emergency feel it my duty to ask
the Howard Association to give us the bene-
fit Of their high position before the world,
in making an appeal for funds to procure
provisions for the relief of these furnishing
people. In case the appeal is entertained,
the supplies should be sent to Mayor Gris-
more, of this place, who will see that good
use is made of them. "He that hath mercy
on the poor, happy is he." Prov. IA, 81.

want and are deserving Of sympathy for

The Soup House.
Opening Day.

This charitable institution, organized for
the purpose of dispensing gratuitous nour-
ishment to the unfortunate paupers of our
city, and with the object of endeavoring as
much as possible to relieve the sufferings OF
the poor, and to save them from the pangs
of hunger, is modelled very much after the
fashion of those in the North, differing from
these only insomuch as it is more complete
in its appointments.
The cooking department is installed under
shed in the yard of the old House of
Refuge, and consists of large brick fur
mace with four boilers, with joint capacity
of furnishing about two hundred gallons of
soup per diem. The dining hall is furnished
with two tables, each ninety feet in length.
All along the sides Of the room are stands
for the dishes. Captain James Smith, of
the Workhouse, under whose charge the
soup-house has been placed, declares him
self confident that he can feed two hundred,
or even more mouths day.
In addition to this and in the adjoining
rooms are separate sleeping apartments,
furnished with clean and comfortable hunks
for the homeless to rest their weary limbs at
night. The Mayor, accompanied by some OF
the City Administrators, formally opened
the house to-day at noon.

A STARTLED BRIDEGROOM.
from the Boston Courier.l

Not mary weeks ago, q wealthy and mid
dle-aged bachelor of San Francisco espoused
one OF the fairest daughters of that city,
and the wedding was celebrated in one
of the most fashionable churches, and in
the presence of an assembly Of the creme do
la creme of San Francisco society. The
bridegroom was Forty miner, and he had
once been anything but sober and INDUS
trious citizen. There had even been rumOrs
to the effect that when he made the over
land journey he left behind in "the States"
a wife and two children, and these rumors
were awkwardly revived when his recent
marriage was first announced. But nothing
came of the gossip. The Forty-niner was
now undeniably rich and respectable, and
people were generally disposed to pass over
his antecedents without subjecting them to
scrutiny that might prove disagreeable.
And so the wedding-day arrived.
When the Forty miner and his bride turn
ed from their places in front of the altar,
after the clergyman had pronounced them
man and wife, the spectators were astonish-
ed to see tall, disnal-loOking and sable
habited man rise from place in one Of the
trent pews, approach the bridegroom, and
gently tap him on the shoulder. The effect
of this proceeding on the Forty -niner was
rather singular, for his countenance assumed
a CHASTITY expression, and he quickly resign
ed his newly made wife to her friends, and
turned anxiously to the stranger, who
simply remarked. ~ wish to talk with you
a moment privately, SIR" The Forty-niner
struggled hard to conceal his emotion, and
finally said: 81 assure you, sir, that-that
what in thunder did you come at such
time as this for ~ "A moment
will SUFFICE" replied the funeral-looking
gentleman firmly, "please step into this
pew" The Forty-niner did 50, while the
assembled company busted itself in winkiDg
and whispering, and looking alternately at
the fainting bride and agonized bridegroom.
"When a man gets married, sir" said the
dismal gentleman, ait is necessary for him
to look with prudence upon the future, and
he cannot begin too soon. Now, sir, a lot in
the Oak.lale Cemetery, which association
repre- The sentence was never finished.
There was chorus of female shrieks, and a
general rush of gentlemen. as the Forty
miner was suddenly observed to seize his in
terviewer by the collar and kick him into
the aisle. The enterprising Cemetery agent
was quickly disposed of, the trembling bride
regained her color and cOmposure, and there
after all went merry as marriage bell.

A Curious Calculation.

The average value Of each immigrant
arriving in this country has been fire.
quently estimated by writers Oh political
economy, but no two Of them agree on this
question. This value varies from $3.50,
according to the lowest estimate, to about
$500 in the highest; but in either Case it is
evident that, in more restricted material
sense, it is cheaper to import our popula-
ton than it is to produce it ourselves. As
Stunning each child of fifteen to have cost
$1,000, and that the money thus expended
would have been otherwise saved, we find
that the man who has raised family of
FIVE children and remained poor might have
accumulated sum sufficient fer the wants
of old age had he not been subjected to this
expense.

An Earthquake In Tennessee.

The Nashville Banner, of March 81, says !:
Gan earthquake occurred at Franklin Satur-

among the citizens. A low rumbling sound
was heard, jarring the houses and causing
much fright. w. s. Campbell, who had re-
Gently erected house worth 5000, heard
the noise and thought burglars were attempt
ing to break into his domcile, but on max

tons house was so Jared that he thought
also that cracksmen had invaded his prem
Uses. Others supposed the rumbling sound
to be produced by the running of train, but
no train was due at that time There was,
in fact, a general shaking up of things. A
few earthquakes have, at various times, oc-
Cured in Tennessee, but none that brought
about worse results than that in 1911, when
the earth sank and Reelfoot Lake was
made"

Billiards..
Fifth Night of the Tournament

Messrs. Abrams and Hoa appeared npon
cent Hall Club Room, ior the purpose of
testing who should have the best right to
the gold medal offered for the three ball
French caroms.
Mr.. Hoa proved too much for Abe, and
won back the laurels that he lost in his
contest with Miller the previous evening.
Abe played hard, but Hoa ended his misery
in the Seth inning by scoring 200 to Abe's
40 points. Mr.. Hoa's play was quite scien-
tifc, and every shot was studied and well
executed. The following is the
SUMMARY.

Club Room, on the night of April 10. Time
of game, hour and 30 minutes.

between John Miller and Frank MaggiOli,
in which the latter was vanquished, i'll spite
of his confidence that it would be an easy

mistaken, for "Watery John" gave him a
hard road to travel, and in the thirtieth in
ming went out by score Of 300 points to
Maggioli's 254.
Miller's execution was remarkable, and
this seems to be foreshadOwing of who
will take the first prize in the four ball con-
test.

THE SIGNAL SERVICE.

Every few days there appears in the
weather reports and probabilities a para
graph stating that cautionary signals have
Deen ordered at various points over the
country. So far these signals have proven
of more practical value than any other
work connected with the signal service.
BY careful observation and the sitting of re-
ports, the officers in charge are enabled to
foretell pretty closely the approach of
storms, and to give timely warning at
points over which they will probably pass.
During the last year cautionary signals were
ordered in anticipation of lightweight
8 .orms, and in seventy of these cases, the
warning proved we'll founded. These sig
nails consist of two red flags in daytime, and
a large red lantern at night. Masters Of
ships now pay much respect to these warn
ings. while many other persons engaged i'll
business which may be seriously affected by
sudden storms examine the reports and act
upon the warning.
On the signal station at New York, ac-
cording to the Graphic, there is mounted a
wind vane, an thermometer and rain
gauge. The wind vane has an arrow head
and forked tail, and by connection in the
observatory records the direction of the
wind The thermometer has four cups, sup
ported by two arms, and which are deli
cately poised on pivot, SO that the least
breath of wind will put them in motion.
These indicate the velocity of the wind, and
are used by those in charge of the station
on the top of Mount Washington, by which
the velocity of the wind has been deter
mined from inside the chained-down irOr
tenement, when no living thing could with
stand for moment the terrible hurricane
which ragged outside. The rain gauge has a
funnel-shaped collector OH the roof of the
observatory emDtyinp into a cylinder be
low, having one tenth the transverse size Of
the funnel, so that ten inches of water in
the cylinder indicates rain fall of one
inch.
There is no doubt that, with increased ex-
perience, the so-caled probabilities" will
become practical certainties, and that peo-
pie generally will shape their undertakings
after due consultation with the national
weather prophet.

progeny of King Tom or Lecturer. Thirteen
two-year Odds were first sold, yielding q
total Of 7125 guineas. OF the seven three
year olds, Marsworth, by King Tom, was the
prize. Count Lehendorff bought him for
5000 guineas to take to Prussia. MarswOrth
was a favorite for the next Derby, but owing
to Baron Rothschilds death, all his engage
ments are off. After the sale OF the Baron's
stud, Lord Rosebery bought Mr.. Padwiok's
Couronne de Fer, favorite for the Derby,
for $500 guineas.

Additional Particulars IF the Crevassl

MEMPHIS, April 1O-The officers of the
steamer A. }. White bring additional in
formation concerning the crevasse at Hush
Puckany. 1t is the opinion Of planters
there that the levee was cut Wednesday
night, either by raftsmen or persons living
on the west side of the liver, to relieve them
from the threatened overflow.
The crevasse is a hundred yards wide, and
the water is pouring through An attempt
was made yesterday to repair the levee, but
it was found impossible to check the volume
Of water This levee is one of the largest
on the river, having base of three hun
dted feet and an average height of twenty
five feet. Some twelve plantations are al.
ready threatened, and it is feared immense
damage will be done in Sunhower, Tala-
hatchie and YazoO bottoms.
