| We have nothing new to report regarding
| the weather. It could not be much worse
and might be great deal better than it is.
It's said that misery likes company, and we
know that some folks outside Of New Orleans
are as miserable as ourselves, judging from
| the following weather report, which we clip
from the Shreveport Times:
"The sun was stranger to us yesterday,
although he made all sorts of promises the
day before that he would be on hand with his
light and heat. We don't mind the son OF
woman going back on any promise he may
think proper to hold out, but when the sun
of the universe plays such FRANKS, it is time
to call in the preacher and make preparations
| for moving. Yesterday was real morose,
gloomy meteorological get up - cloudy
and raw, with a snowy tendency. Such
! blasted weather is enough to make free
born 'hinglisher' go back on the isle"

fair trips.
