49,. The steamboat Era No. 10. which ar
rived Sunday morning from Bayou Lafourche.
brought two stalks Of sugar cane from the
Orange Grove plantation, the largest of which
had nine well developed joints. This is un-
usually early for sugar cane, and especially
for such remarkable sample as one Of those
above mentioned.

tlemen had fist fight on the landing of the
stairway at No. is Commercial Alley. After
pummeling each other for several minutes

quiet manner that it attracted very little at
tention.
-. Many years ago boy Of four years,
son of our friend S., of St. Mary, went with
his mother to burial in the cemetery that
sleeps in solemn stiffness on the bank of the
Teche, above Franklin. He watched the in
terment with interest, and after leaving the
grave startled his mother with the query:
"Mamma, how long does it take for the
folks to come up after they have done planted
,em?"
....A complaint has been made to us
against one John Quinian, driver of the dunn

An old lady got into his car Friday evening

rudely ordered to put them in front. ne
gro getting in afterwards upset them, and
when the lady expostulated, the driver
paid no attention. There was great indigna-
ton on the part Of the passengers
-. "A correspondent writes to ask if it is
quite the graceful or polite thing for young
ladies to sit on one foot We don't know, we
really can't say. goose is very fond of
standing on one foot, tailor is forced by the
necessity Of his ceiling to sit cross-legged, but
why any young lady should consider it either
CONNIE fdM or comfortable to sit on one foot
passes our understanding. Our correspond
emit afirms that he knows several young ladies |
who, whenever they take seat in chair or
on lounge, invariably curl one foot under
them as q sort Of cushion. We must infer
that the chairs and lounges referred to are I'M
AouoAAy AoAus I'VE . AuoAy uopAt, certainly,
and by no means graceful, we should say, and
We incline to the belief that the ladies who 80
indulge the habit are like angels visits, few
and far between.
The attention Of Capt. Loan is called
to the outrageous conduct of large number
of negro youths and men, who congregate
almost every day on the green on the Della
chaise ground, between Chestnut and Pryta-
mia, to play base ball. There never was any
such base ball played anywhere else as is
played by these fellows. Every toss of the
ball is greeted by a shower of oaths from
stentorian lungs = such oaths as would
make the flesh of man wars
man creep, and which almost make
The air blue. Not satisfied with swearing they
also indulge in the most abscene language
30 much so that the residents thereabouts are
to retire from their galleries and
keep their children within doors, and even
then the sonorous voices can still be heard.
When the game is over the players move eff
in mob, all shouting and swearing like mad,
women and children and running
everybody off the sidewalks. Will Capt.
Loan see to this matter?
ONCE MORE In THE TOLLS.
