-. Those who delight in a chaste style of
architecture should visit the central hall Of
the Custom House.
The new Crescent Hall is rapidly ap-
preaching completion. The edi6ce looks
really imposing already.
IA yCung lady thanked q gentleman in
one of our street cars, yesterday, for passing
her fare, and yet, strange to say, it did not
thunder.
We understand that there will be some
kind of demonstration on the coming 14th
of September in commemoration of the battle
on the levee.
-. "A number of bullet-headed boors with
quantity Of decayed fish that "smelled to
heaven" forced number of ladies to leave
the pier head Of the Pontchartrain wharf last
evening by placing themselves to windward
and refusing to move
49,. There was a report up the country re-
Gently that the Sheriff Nash of Grant parish
and Colfax notoriety had been killed, but
Nash turned up smiling day or two after,
and the circulators of the rumor are gnashing
their teeth. It's difficult matter to get up a
sensation nowadays, even in Colfax.
49, There will be pair cared skiff race at
Bay St. Louis on Monday next. The course
will be on the south side of the Bay, and will
be mile straight away and return. Quite
number of skifs have entered and, as the
crews are composed of young men well-known,
the event is creating some excitement.
-. Brown, J. Sella Martin, Ruby, Burch
and other lights Of the colored faithful have
gone to Cincinnati to attend the convention

him male servant, to carry his valise and
pass the refreshments. 4
-. The census for the parish of Orleans
is very nearly completed; indeed, returns
from all the wards are in, but in several Of
Capt Wright has men at work going over the
wards and verifying the returns. Twenty
three parishes have been heard from, and the
returns compiled.
odd Pontchartrain is developing more

trains run with great regularity, and num-
Der of persons from the upper districts may
be seen enjoying the fresh breeze on the pier
head every evening. It is quite the thing
nowadays for parties to go down there in the
morning with their lunch baskets and remain
until night, Willing the hours away by fish
ing, bathing, sailing or reading, as fancy may
dictate.
There seems to be no doubt about the
earnestness Of Clinton's resignation this
time, and the question now agitating the
minds Of political aspirants and great many
others besides, is who's to be the next Aud
itor?" Mr.. L. H Gardner seems to be the
favorite in the race SO far, though strangely
enough Mr.. Gardner is not thought to be q

a wide field to select from and ample time
during which to mako up his mind, and con-
