guished California lawyer, who was killed
while in command Of the Federal forces at
Balls Bluff, during the late war, first .put

A Sly Puss.
from the Chicago Tribun,


A popular young lady on West Adams
street, who has about forty young gentlemen
on the roll Of her personal friends. has en-
tered into speculation that promises to pay
better than grain corner or gambling hell
with all the city officials as silent partners
She bought the canvas for forty-one pairs of
slippers, all of pattern, leased out the
making Of forty pairs of them to an aged col
ored seamstress, and has kept the forty-frst
pair in the parlor, where she can have them
on hand whenever one Of her lovers calls.
Of course the young man asks for whom
she is working those pretty slippers, and she
replies with that bewitching dropping of the
eyelids, which is one part modesty and two
parts wink ''Oh. they're for Christmas
present for young gentleman friend OF
mine" Then the infatuated youth goes of
and buys her seal skin jacket or pair Of
earrings, or an easy chair for his Christmas
gift.
She will bestow upon each of her adorers a
pair of slippers worked by the colored seam
stress and footed by Dutch shoemaker with
one eye, each costing on an average 50 s.,
while she estimates that her presents will net
s45 to the adorer. The pair she is working
herself will be presented to young dry goods
clerk in Aurora, to whom she was secretly
married last September.

the head book-keeper and general manager
of the Office, and has had the handling of all
the cash. It would seem that some Of it
stuck.

Bomb.Shell in 4 ssGospel Box"

Glover was pretty big man in a certain
old Connecticut village. He was big, burly
fellow, had big house, and big purse, and
was big thing for congregation Of worship
pers to which he belonged. Brother Glover
would swear little sometimes, but that was
his bringing up" he didnot mean anything
wrong by it, and when he subscribed $500 to-
ward rebuilding and reftting the old church,
that special act of charity covered a multitude
of sins. Brother Glover had big
voice. There was no time, tone or
tune in it, but he beloved as he pleased in
church singing. All tunes were alike to him,
and they just let him sing out his souls sal
walton. When the new church was finished
it had to be dedicated, and dedication day
was to be a big time in the village. An organ
was added to the implements Of worship, and
choir was carefully trained to do the sing
ing. Brother Glover was not of the choir,
and the intention was to rule him out of the
vocal exercises. He had helped to produce a
new order of things by which his mouth was
to be closed during the songs Of prayer and
praise.
The choir had carefully rehearsed a new
dedicatory hymn and everything was ready
for the interesting ceremonies. The church
was crowded and several preachers were pres
ent with shining faces, and the choir was
J perched in the galley, and Brother Glover
was in his place in a front pew, as large as
life. The new piece was struck up and
Brother Glover's voice rose loud above the
organ There was pause. The organ and
choir were mute and the latter mad. The
minister, looking at fly on the cell
ing, explained that it was a new piece,
which the choir alone had practised, and re-
quested the congregation not to join in the
singing. The piece was recommended and
again Bro. GlOver's big voice broke it up.
The preacher then fixed his eyes on Bro. G.
and requested him to keep silence during the
performance of the pew piece, which he did
not understand, and Bro. Glover, looking at
his beloved pastor with his big. round eyes,
replied in big voice: ''Look-a-here, Mr..
Barnhart, paid $500 toward repairing this
damned old gospel box, and, by thunder, I
will sing" The preacher gave it up and SO
did the choir

COTTON EXCHANGE.

A general meeting of the Cotton Exchange
was held to-day, at which the following pre-
amble and resolutions, recommended by the
Special Committee on Railroads Cyrus Bus
sew, chairman; John Chaffe and w. C. B;ack),
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the completion of the Texas and
Pacific Railroad is Of the greatest importance
to Louisiana and the Southern States and
territories; and
Whereas, the plan now proposed to Con-
gress, modifying the original charter granted
to said company, gives promise, if adopted,
of its early completion and the opening up to
settlement of vast body OF fertile land in
Texas and the Southern territories, thereby
greatly increasing the yield of cotton, tobacco
and cereals, adding immensely to the national
wealth and opening up new sources of traffic,
would vitalize the entire system of Southern
railroads and the business generally Of those
States; and
Whereas, the Government, besides reaping
great benefit in this way, would enable the
people to utilize the vast deposits of the
precious metals and other minerals in West
ern Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, now
practically valueless for want of this highway;
and
Whereas, the Indian question could be con-
trOlled ana the 1errCOfleS made safer fOr lie
and property, and millions be saved annually
to the Government in its transportation and
the cost and subsistence of troops; and
Whereas the Texas and Pacific Railroad as
q highway across the Continent will at all
times be free from distractions, crossing as it
does the mountain divides at low elevations
therefore, be it
Resolred, That the Cotton Exchange of
New Orleans, representing trade exceeding
one hundred millions of dollars annually,
recommend to our Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress to vote for such Govern
ment aid to said road as will insure its COM
pletion at the earliest practical moment; and
Whereas, it is of the greatest importance to
this city and State to have direct communi-
cation with said road, and Of equal impor-
lance to the Texas Pacific to have such con-
nection with this city, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we recommend the New Or
leans and Texas Western Central Railroad
Company, incorporated Sept. 20, 1874, as the
most desirable connection with said road,
and we earnestly memorabilia Congress to
grant such aid to said road as will insure its
Construction on the same terms as the Texas
Pacific.
It was further
Resolved, That the Secretary furnish an
official copy Of the above to the Senator'S and
Representatives Of Louisiana in Congress,
and to the city press for publication.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A Woman Hangs Herself to the Bars Of
one of the First Precinct Cells.

Last evening about 5 o'clock woman, ap-
parently about 80 years of age, came to the
Central Police Station in company with an
other woman, named Adelaide Balfour who
was arrested by Officer Simmonds at the cor
ner of Perdido and Dryades streets, to make
. charge against her for stealing new shawl,
which she values at 81. She appeared to be
very drunk, and was accordingly locked up
Tor safe-keeping on a charge Of drunkenness
80 as to make sure of her appearance in court
this morning.
In walking to the cell she stated to Officer
Furness that she was tired Of life, and if he
locked her up she would never come out
alive. This being the case with every one
that is brought to Jail, very near, no atten-
ton was paid, and on going by her cell about
forty-6ve minutes later to confine q prisoner,
he found the unfortunate woman hanging to
the bars of cell No. 3, almost dead. Finding
no other way to put an end to her life, she
pulled of her stockings and tied them to-
gether in loop-knot, and placed it around
her neck.
Officer Furness Immediately opened the
door and cut her down. DR.. Ames,
City Physician. who was on hand,
rendered all the assistance possible,
and in about half an hours time she was
brought to once more. Our reporter visited
the place where she lay, at the Central Sta
ton, and obtained the following brief state
ment: My name is Mary Ellen Rose; was
born and raised in this city; about twelve
years ago left this city on q visit to Pike

main up to about two weeks ago, when
I lett for my former home here

of age, whom left in charge of friend
named Mrs. Reid, who resides, at the present,
opposite the Girod Cemetery. Mrs. Rose,
although used up by drink, wears the features
and expression of beautiful and refined
woman. After getting over her hanging sensa-
ton, she was taken with fits and had to be re-
moved to the Charity Hospital, where she re-
ceived the proper medical attention.
