TEN THOUSAND YEAR.

We present this bit of wrapped Up
philosophy TO our feverish wealth hun,
tiers, who sacrifice every good in life in
their mad desire for sudden fortune. 1t
is from London comic paper:
If had ten thousand year
| think could manage to spend il,
Could squander the halt, very near,
And as for the rest could lend it.
Could squander the half, l should say,
On folly, on vice, aud on sorrow,
On dreary debauches to-day,
Repentance and headache to morrow.
Could purchase with half of my wealth,
Or less, if | cared TO diminish,
Bad morals, bad conscience. bad health,
And a bad-ish lookout at the finish.
And the rest of my gold l could lend
The friend who in want had stood by
ne,
And loose both my money and friend
For thenceforward forever he'd shy
me.
If had ten thousand year,
The sentiment may seem clap-trappy
I'm hlest if think it's so clear,
should not be sick and unhappy.
AT present I've friends-very dear
Health and comfort, as long as I'm
thrifty,
So don't want ten thousand n year,
I'm content with my hundred and fifty.

thing but good, but as for the living,
they are all tarred more or less with the
black brush, and half an eye can see it.
Every head has a soft place in it, and
every heart has its black drop. Every

the skies are darkened with clouds.
Nobody is so wise but he has folly

of her marriage in a paragraph of five

be that the young lady made misalli-

disadvantage. As Miss Grant, the
daughter of the American President,
she was welcomed here by the swells

The Ladies' of New OrIeanss

Mrs. Clements, a sparkling writer for The
st. Louis Republican, who came here with
party from that city ts participate in our
carnival pleasures, gives US the benefit of
her brief observation of our local fair ones:
New Orleans bellies, by the way, would
have been fit welcomers of the ancient
MinnesOng. | have heard much OF their
beauty, but never studied it with occasion
until now. 1t is up to its fame. These
women of the Southern metropolis are the
most superb looking in America. They are
brunettes, the most and best of them. with
an elegance of carriage and figure, q con-
tour of feature and pose of manner that
are matchless. They say that the peasantry
in certain districts of Spain carry yet in
their faces the grandeur of the faded Cas-
tilian noblesse. These New Orleans beauties
lifted tenderly down dozen generations of
close blood, are more queenly than the pOr-
traits of their French mothers, that have
hung for centuries in their parlOrs.
Some OF them are like chseled,
pencied figures out of marble, with
the soft dash of Guido's brush, or of
Petrarch's song in their faces and the ripe
Southern blood flushing UP to their temples,
under the pure surface of their veins. The
exguisiteness of their style takes your
breath with an exclamation of admiration
and sigh of relief as you pass. Their
native city and State are the horizon of So
ciety and of the world to these superb crea-
lures; they are reared under the solemn
shadow of Catholicism; they are local in
their attachments as Venerians; their cul-
ture is narrow, but they gather. in their
loins the gait of empresses, and in their
eyes that glance filed with the wisdom, the
cunning. the refinement, the magic of
womanhood. The Boston beauty OtfeRds
you with her look of intellectual pertness;
New York puts on the face Of her charming
favOrite the stamp of her eager extrava-
gance; in the West we have not settled to
our features yet, and feminine comeliness is
without type.
The New Orleans belle stands alone, as
far from the placid demeanOr of the ''Fu-
ture City" as from the "lilies and langOurs"
Of the South, and offers the eye the salts
flying complement of taste. There is but
one drawback. Her manners impose. You
must see her in position. The lifting of an
eyeid or the glitter OF her teeth may be
disenchantment

Only those who are Immediately con.
nected with the shipping of our port are
aware of the fact that at the head Of Third
street lies the largest and most perfectly
fitted sailing ship that has ever entered the
port of New Orleans. And this beautiful
specimen of marine architecture exults IN
the name of Strathearn, called after a small
village in Scotland. on the Clyde. near
where she was built,
AS the visitor comes up the gangway ana
looks in upon the deck of this ship the neat
ness and finish of all that strikes the eye
surpasses anything ever before seen at our
wharves, with the exception OF some few
steamers. The brass work, the teak wood
finish and carving, the spare spars and the
deck fittings, whether permanent or tempo
gary, are all clean and glittering.
Upon being introduced to Captain James
Jarman, her young and courteous com
mander, the following information was
elected: The Strathearn was built in 1871
for the East India trade. Freights at the
time of her completion being SO good to the
United States, she was put in the New York
and Liverpool trade, where she made eleven
voyages. Her owners then thinking she
might be a good ship for the cotton trade,
dispatched her here, where she arrived
few days since, and is now we'll advance
in loading. On three successive voyages
from New York to Liverpool she made the
run in fifteen days each, her best single
days run being 800 miles. This is very fast
time but not to be wondered at after see
canvas she must spread when all sail is set
The Strathearn is owned by Messrs. Allen
Brothers, of Liverpool, being one Of sixteen
sailing vessels belonging to them. beside q
fleet of twenty first class steamers, several
of which came to this port last season. She
is 255 feet long, 40 feet breadth of beam and
"a feet depth of hold, built wholly of iron,
with white pine decks and teak wood rails
and deck houses. Her lower masts and
bowsprit are of iron, and her fore, main and
crossjack yards are steel. She carries five
handsome boats on the gallows frames, and
they sit there in their chocks looking like so
many little Strathearns. Her windlass and
wenches are run by steam and capable of
heaving in seventy-fve fathoms of chain in
fifteen minutes.
The quarter deck, in all its neatness and
comfort, is perfect retreat for the invalid,
the lover, or the pleasure seeker. Forty
five men are kept as busy as they can be
from sun to sun in all parts of the ship; in
fact, it is workhouse for them.
The Strathearn will carry nearly $500
bales of cotton on draft of seventeen feet
of water and being sharp, will cross the
bar readily.
Messrs. Hall & Vaughn are the agents OF
The Allen ships, and they are being loaded
under the supervision of Mr.. Samuel Bon.

One of the most successful fairs of the

the Central Church, corner of Gasquet and

The chief interest is centred in the contest
between Administrator Lewis and Superin-
tendent Brown over a fine buggy and har-
ness, to be the property of the gentleman
who receives the most votes. The friends
of each are active and anguine, and whether
the Department of improvements, or that
of the public schools is to be the winner, is
at present mystery.
