He WAS Too SMART.-On decoration day
old Jordan, the drummer boy of Chalmette,
was III the cemetery, of course. All who
knew his history looked at him as living
leaf from the pages of our past, and re-
spected him as one of the defenders of New
Orleans when she needed defenders. Natu.
rally there were some persons present who
did not know the aged soldiers past life,
taking him for an inexperienced old man.
One OF this class, Sunday soldier, with
military cap hanging On four back hairs,
ieeringly called out to Jordan: "Well did
you see General jackson 7" eyes, saw
him here many years ago, and that is more
than you did" Exit military cap, bent on
placing twelve squares" between himself
aud Jordan.
A LEGAL TILr.-Yesterday in the Grant
parish trial, a female witness was on the
witness stand, answering interrogatories
put by Mr.. Beckwith. Among other ques-
lions was one inquiring if she did not assist
to secrete Nash, the outlaw. On this,
Mr.. Ellis bounded to his feet, addressing
himself, somewhat excitedly to the witness,
thus: You need not answer that, for wit
nesses are not compelled to criminate
themselves, and the district attorney was
not magnanim0us enough to tell you So"
Mr.. Beckwith quietly waited until the
crushing blow was past and then patiently
informed his opponent that Congress had
expressly changed that law, amending it to
suit advanced ideas and times. Now a wit
ness may testify and crimina.e himself, but
can not be prosecuted therefor. This bit of
news concerning the law was indeed wet
sheet on the attorneys ardor, aud he made
no further objection on the point raised.
A DECIDEDLY DIsAGREEABLE DEN.-The
First District Municipal Court is located in
the third story, back of Davidson Court,
Just where a red hot sun has uninterrupted
sway all day. The windows are not pro-
vided with shutters or curtains, nothing to
prevent the suns rays pouring in unceas.
ingly, heating the room beyond endurance.
The furniture, if such it can be called, IS,
simply abominable, and Judge Macarthur
says that he can not keep his clothing clean
an hour after entering court. Besides, the
Offices are miserably arranged, or rather
without any arrangement.
1t is now proposed to place the bench near
the middle Of the long room, and behind it,
properly screened, offices for the clerks.
The affidavit clerk could then perform his
labors without interruption from dozen
eager compliments, rs is the case at pres
ent. When the Judge wishes to see any Of
his clerks, except the chief he is compelled
10 send a messenger. The Judges COM
plants are certainly not without foupda-
lion, and he will call on the City Council to
lift him out Of this misery, and his So
bordinates second him heartily.

A CORRESPONDENT this morning pre-
sents what may be regarded as rather
vigorous protest against the proposed
purchase OF the former AcHKsoN pro-
perty for school purposes. The otjec'
tious set forth have considerable weight
and ere certainly entitled to careful
consideration BY the Board. The pro-
perty owners in the neighborhood
are considerably exercised" by
the mere thought Of the erection
OF a school house in that loca-
ton and the annoyance that would re-
suit therefrom. and although thi,
ought not TO deter the Board OF Educa
ton from the selection of . site that 10
eminently adapted for the convenience,
comfort and proper management of q
public school, it ought to be regarded
when the site is in other and more i'm
portant respects Objectionable. The
people of the city will await with q
good deal oil interest the action OF the
Board tonight.
