Meeting OF the Legislature.

The annual meeting of the Legislature

Republicans in each branch will enable

In the matter of United States Senator,
however, the way will not be so clear.
The very strength Of the party may be its
weakness. Even the all-potent caucus
may not settle the question. Certain
FESTIVE and coltish brethren evince dis

the ancient regime Hamlin, outwardlv

hands, takes the chances against the field

The question to be decided first is, whether
to go into caucus OF not For not going
in there is the high example Of Massachu-
sets last winter, which ran the Senatorial
election without one. The force of this
example is urged by the anti-Hamlin men,
who fear the effect Of a majority nomina-
ton to bind the party vote, and thus elect
Hamlin. If a caucus cannot be ignored,
the anti-Hamlin element will strive to put

to Illustrate the well laid plans of the willy

will take place on the 10Th, and continue
every day until a choice is effected.

A BAD HABIT.


New Orleans, in some particulars, retains
the characteristics of a village, and 1t Will
take several years of active business to gel
our people out Of many of the old groove
and ruts in which they have travelled so long.
There is one practice which is peculiarly an
noying. and which can not be corrected too
soon. We mean the habit that many per
sons have when calling at a store or office on
business-however important or trivial-ot
demanding to see the head man or proprietor.
1t never seems to enter the craniums OF
these people that the chief of any large bu-
siness, whether private or public, has his
time very fully occupied in attending to mat
tiers of Importance and that if he has to stop
the consideration of weighty matters to an
swer all sorts of questions put by all sorts CT
people, it will result in great annoyance and
even pecuniary loss to him. Clerks are, nine
times out of ten, not fully able to answer the
questions propounded, but are employed for
the express purpose relieving the merchant
or chief officer from the numberless vexations
and interruptions which would otherwise
occur. In other large cities the heads of
all large business houses, and all public
officers are, as a rule, secured from the intru
sion of those whose business is not of par
ticularly important character, and therefore
are enabled to transact a vast amount of busi-
ness with but little trouble to themselves.
Constant and unnecessary interruptions irri
tate even good tempered and well hammered
man and tend to shorten his existence, and
n the interest Of large army of sufferers we
would suggest that the "boss, " the ''propr;e-
or" the president, the ''editor," be not in
luired for every time somebody happens to
want to know what the time of day is. Time
5 not as much money, to be sure, as it used
o be, but it is some money still, and long
way too valuable to be squandered in the
manner indicated.

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Murder i'm st. James Parish.

On the 14th inst. there was brought tc
light terrible tragedy, the circumstances at
tendant on which make it one of the most
brutal and cowardly murders on record.
For some time past there has been living in
the parish of St. James and rooming together
two men, one Michael Borden, native Of this
city about thirty-two years Of age, who was
engaged by the parish as school teacher, and
the other, Carl Alberg, Swede by birth, and
a carpenter by trade.
On the lst inst. Borden announced that on
the following day he would leave for New
Orleans on visit, and on that day he disap-
peared, and was neither seen nor heard OF
until the 18th inst, when his mutilated and
decaying corpse was found in hastily made
grave a short distance from the schoolhouse.
At the same time that Borden disappeared
the Swede left and this circumstance, with
Others pointed to him as the murderer. An
investigation was had, and Mr.. Carl Alberg is
wanted for murder.
1t is supposed that the terrible deed was
committed for the purpose of plumber, the
murderer being under the impression that
his victim was wealthy and carried large sums
with him. 1t is thought that Alberg pre-
vlously prepared the grave, ana by some
means inticed Borden from the schoolhouse
to the spot, and then struck him on the head
threw him into the hole aud covered him up.
and leaving, came to this city.
He is thus described twenty-five or
.wenty-three years of age, about five feet ten
inches in height, bright complexion, with a
scar and beard. He Is a Swede by birth, and
speaks the English language very improper.
The detectives have been on the hunt for
him for several days past but have not sue
,eeded in ever getting trace of him.
The facts as above related have been in our
possession ever since the case was placed
N the hands Of the detectives, but it was
claimed that the publication of them would
interfere with the plans of the officers for the
discovery and the capture OF Alberg and with
. view of not interfering with but furthering
he ends of justice we readily agreed to with
lold publication, being assured that the other
papers had promised to do the same.
If there was such a promise made it was
broken, and the agreement violated, like
'thers of the kind, and the consequence was
hat Saturday morning the other papers had a
sensation murder and the BULLETIN had
lot.

CHEAP FRUIT.
the Governor

Now that the members Of the Fruit Grow
ers' Association have given beautiful free
sample exhibition of all the richest vegetables
and fruits of this half tropical and prolific
region, we would suggest that their feast of
Tantalus might be supplemented by some
thing more directly pleasing and profitable to
those who grow fine fruit as well as to those
who would eat it if they could get it.
Fresh fruits and fine vegetables cannot be
obtained at such price as to be within the
reach of the masses of our citizens Fruit
especially is generally too dear for family use
The quality of the fruit in our markets and at
fruit stalls is good enough for general use,
but it all tastes too strong of money. Poor
people, instead of using fruit freely as a ne.
cessary part of any really wholesome diet,
can only afford to buy it as an occasional lux
ury. in small quantities.
The Growers have shown Us by their appe-
tizing and very ereditable display what our
section is capable of producing under judi
cious care. Can they not now show US
that fruit of Southern growth can be sold in
large quantities and at reasonable prices in
this city Can they not establish central
depot for Southern home grown fruits, where
they may be sold, at wholesale and at retail,
1t such prices as will bring them within the
reach of citizens in general?

Those pigmies that Col. Long, one of the
American officers in the service of the Khe-
dive Of Egypt, has brought from the heart OF
Africa to Paris, are representatives of most
agreeable people. We are told that they be-
long to a race whose average height is but
four feet seven inches, whose heads are large
and bellies huge; whose skin is the color of
roasted Coffee and whose chief delight is in
eating boiled babies and captiyes of war
They are enormous eaters, and their cheer
full war-cry is, ave want meat We will
eat you" Col. Long found his little people
while on an expedition to the equatorial re-
glons of Africa, as has been stated by tele-
graph. These dwarf savages are said to be
very skillful in hunting the elephant, getting
under the huge beast, stabbing him with their
lances, and getting out of the way almost be-
fore he sees them. 1t is recalled that DR..
Schweinfurth. the German botauist, in his
journey to the sources of the Nile, first dis
covered this race, but his only specimen died
before Cairo was reached, and of gluttony.

Can This BE True

The following base insinuation is floating
about the State press: The New Haven train
stops five minutes at Stamford for refresh
ments. As the Boston express drew up at the
station the other afternoon a man with blue
cotton umbrella in his hand dashed up to the
refreshment counter "Look alive there !"
he shouted to waiter. Soup coffee, ham
sandwich, custard pie, two doughnuts, and
piece of sponge cake"
The order was promptly filed. He put the
umbrella between his legs, caught up the cup
with one hand, and carried devastation to
the food with the other. Another cup of
coffee was ordered and swallowed, together
with third doughnut, when the signal was
given and he boarded the train with second
sandwich in one hand, the umbrella in the
other, and custard in both corners of his
mouth When he took his seat he said to
another passenger: "These refreshment
saloons should have oatmeal porridge and
Graham bread always on hand" 1t was bio

Costly Royalty.
ANNUIrIEs OF THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND AND HEl
CHILDREN.

The regular annual allowance of Queen Vic
toria is 1855, 000 or Sl,025000 for the sup
port OF her Majesty's household and of the
honor and dignity Of the Crown of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" Be-
side this, the Queen has also paid her the
revenue of the Duchy of Lancaster, which
amounted last year to ZAP, 900 net, or S2l0, COO
more. But this prodigious allowance to the
Queen, who represents the head Ct the
state, is by no means all. That
expensive young man, the Prince
of Wales, davis an annuity from
the British people of $4,000 per annum in
his own right, and el0 900 in the name of
the Princess, his wife, making $3.50, 900 a
year, which he condescends TO accept for
keeping up the honor and dignity of the heir
appare at to the crown. La addition to this,
the Prince has as an income the revenues of
the Duchy of Cornwall, which amounted last
year to G62 5l5, or over $780, 900. Even this
more than half million of money per annum,
1t appears, Is not enough for the expensive
habits of our young Prince, who has con-
trived to run in debt, after the example Of
George the Fourth to the extent of several
hundreds of thousands of pounds, the scan-
dial of which, with threatened appeal to
Parliament for special appropriations to pay
it, has long agitated the British mind.
The other annuities to members of Queen
Victoria's family, who has nine children, are
as follows: Prince Alfred Duke of E lin
bnrgh, second sony, e25, 900; Prince Arthur
Duke of Connaught, third SOM, el5, 900;
Prince Leopold, fourth son, els, 900; Princess
Royal, $4,000; Princess Alice of Hesse, $4,000;
Princess Helena, $4,000; Princess Louise,
$4,000; Princess Mary (Teck), 5000; Princess
Augusta Queens cousin, $4,000; Duchess of
Cambridge (aunt Of her Msjesty), $4,000;
Duke George of Cambridge cousin Of the
Qaeen), Gl2,O0O. 1t will thus be seen that
this lucky cousin is in the receipt of con-
more annual salary than all the
seven Cabinet Miniser of the United States,
at $4,000 each per manufactured COM
lnerciaL.

Glass as a Dress Fabric.

The suggestion that ladies dresses ray be
made OF the newly discovered unbreakable
and elastic glass, has thrown the fashion
editors into state of profound agitation In
frangible glass dresses . What grand limo
walton When the new invention shall have
been fally applied to ladies costumes, the
dear creatures may dress as warmly in the
winter as the laws of health require, and yet
not be forced, as they are now, to obscure
with mut1ings the fairest portions of their
persons. Pull back dresses will be abolished,
for the necessity of pulling them back will
not exist when even a greater display can be
secured without it. Colored ladies will be
dressed in mourning the year round.
The principles OF retraction might be in
troduced in the manufacture of these glass
dresses, supplying the shortcom ngs of ma
ture and modifying its exaggeraiions. Thus
an unduly developed foot might be dressed in
a refracting glass shoe which would give it
the requisite ensmallment. ScraWny should
ers could be made full and round by means of
a magnifying ch-that is to say, magnifying
envelope of some sort. Mistakes of nature
throughout the full extent of the feminine
exterior could be corrected in this simple but
effective manner. Dainty feet would glimmer
through transparent slippers, and where now
naught appears but unseemly wads and
wrinkles OF dress, graceful curves and round
ed outlines will everywhere come into view.
Modest women will not oppose the change,
for 1t will not be an exposnre-it will be
simply revelation. - Chicago Times.

THE LEVBE COMPANY AND THE
CLOSING OF MAOK'S BAYOU.

| In an article on the reported closing o
| Macks Bayou and Flat River, which appeared
in yesterdays edition, we said we supposed
that the party who was in charge of the work
as well as his superior, M. jeff Thompson
was under the control Of the Leyee Company.
This supposition was erroneous, as will ap.
pear from the subjoined communication from
Mr. Tarleton, the Secretary and Treasurer Of
the Levee Company:
LOUISIANA LEvEE COMPANY,
% CARoNDELa STREET,
New ORLEANS, July IL, 1875.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
In your editorial of this morning. commenting
upon the dispatch of ''Minden Merchants" i1
reference to the alleged closing of Mack's Bayou
and Fiat River, you say: "Hhe party by the name
of Melvin who is referred to in the above dis
patch, and who is doing this work. is, we believe,
one Of Gen. M. jeff Thompson's engineers, and
we suppose the Levee Company must have con-
troll Gver both his superior and himself
We beg leave to state that you are under an
entire misunderstanding on this subject The
Levee Company had no knowledge of The attempt
the close these bayous previous to the reading
of the dispatch from Mnden in your paper of this
morning, and said company exercises no control
whatever over any of the parties connected with
this undertaking.
La the alb sence Of Gen. Thompson and his
officers from the city, as we learn, on official
business, it might be well to await his return,
and his explanation, if he be in any way con-
nected with the work referred to, before con-
demning him.
In connection with this subject, it may be well
to say that the Levee Company has no authority
to initiate any new work, MOI has it ever done so,
being simply contractor to execute work when
required to do SO by the State authorities.

Under the present arrangement the Com
mission of Engineers makes examination Of
levees Of the State, and then, having deter
mined what work is necessary to be done, in
structs the Levee Company to do it. For the
performance of the work the Levee Company
is responsible. but it has, as Mr.. Tarleton
states in his letter, nothing TO do with what
work shall be done, and no control over the
State officers who superintend the construc-
ton and repairs of the levees. The proper
parties to interfere in this matter of the
closing Of Mack's Bayou and Flat River are

Has any editor lost anything? The
Eureka Sentinel of the 2Sth ult. and
the Humboldt Register of the 29ih con-
tain editorials under the above head
ing. worded exactly alike. Since 1t
would be impossible for the Sentinel
to reach the Register Office the next
day after publication, at is evident
that both editors conceived the idea OF
stealing the article about the same
time. But who is the loser? Will not
one of those editors be kind enough to
inform us. Give the man credit, you
old thieves.
The above we find in the Carson Tri-
bune of Wednesday. There is slight
mistake as to dates. "a Hundred
Years Hence appeared in the Senti-
mel of Sunday, which arrived here
Monday evening. just in time for the
scissorial " corps of the Register.
We have preserved copy of both the
papers containing the article. and
would have called attention to the
piracy, but if we undertook to notice
all the thefts, and refute all the false
hoods of the Register. We would have
no space left for news. The Sentinel
will in all probability have something
to say about it, particularly if it was
original with that journal.
