kindness.
That's tremendous load of cotton that
the James Howard is bringing to the city,

Tuesday morning, says she left there with
74OO bales on board, bound for New Orleans.
Hurrah for the Howard
-. IF the oil lamps on the upper side of
Canal street, beyond Galvez, were not cleaned
any oftener than the gas lamps on the oppo-
site side of the street, they would be OF no
use. The latter have not been attended to
for 10 these many weeks.
-. Some malicious person, on Monday, be-
tween the hours of and o'clock, broke
down several of the brackets recently put up
in the ate House. The gas escaped freely
for a time but Officer Walsh discovered the
damage and Immediately turned off the gas.
!. If once in a while, Just as sort of re-
creation, the drivers of the Magazine street
cars would look down cross streets, they
would find the monotony of their labors con-
siderably lessened. Have they joints in their
necks, or are they trying to escape from pas
sengers
So you won't expla in, Mr.. Lowell

from you the matter looks bad, even for a
Radical office-holder.

not insane at the time he committed the
crime for which he is condemned to death.
-. There are every now and then rumors
of a change in the Office Of the Chief of Po-
lice. Some time ago it was currently reported
and believed that Gen. Badger was to super
sede Loan. and now it is said that Badger is

Meanwhile Col. Loan retains the Office and
draws the pay.

-. The committee of citizens appointed al
the mass meeting of Monday night, waited
on the Council on Tuesday morning and had
an extended secret consultation. 1t is to be
very earnestly hoped that some practicable
plan may be evolved for carrying out the
wishes of the meeting. The people are 6
