cotton yielding too easily, she lost her balanc.
and fell backward between the wharf and the
ship. The cotton about her person, however,
acted as buoy, and supported her until the
gallant longshoreman came to her rescue.
But ruling passion is strong in death, and,
after going home and dOnning dry dress,
she came back to the levee and resumed her
avocat on of pilfaring cotton until she was
stopped by a vigilant peeler.
ENrERPR1s1NG INDEED.-One Edwards Bell,
an enterprising young man OF about eighteen
summers, felt inclined to enter the clothing
| business and that too, notln small way. His
cash, though, was not sufficient to purchase
bis stock in trade and he made his way to the
corner of Canal and Magazine streets, to Leon
Godchauxs store, and there appropriated to
his own use eight pairs of pants, valued in
all at S65, but Mr.. Champagne, the clerk,
espied the willy fellow and summoned to his

YOU'VE, YET VILE.-Two juvenile creatures,
aged respectively twelve and thirteen years,
and by name Virginia Johnson and Lena

strict paths of rectitnde, went into the POy-
aras Market yesterday and entered into
mutual differing business of fruits, vegetables
and such like, when they were espied by an
officer, who conducted them to the First Pre-
cinct Station, and there charged them with
being juvenile Migrants and pilferers.
Was HE HUNGRY.-This is question which
naturally arises in the mind when upon the
police records, George Houston is entered for
having stolen two loaves sof bread, and yet he
must be bad for the officer also charged him

A Row OVER MoNrE.-Again, last night
about IL o'clock, occurred one of those dis
graceful rows at the Senate Saloon, that have
SO often made night hideous. Several negroes
were seated around the monte table betting
on the turn of card; some were fortunate,
whilst others were unlucky. At last, three or
four of the mokes began to quarrel over the
number of checks that belonged to them,
when, suddenly, a fight took place and pistols
and knives were brandished freely.
The row attracted the attention ofEergeant
Vansirk, who taking two officers with him,
entered the house, when general scramble
was made for the door. But they succeeded
in arresting some of the main leaders of the
gang and closed up the house, which has be-
come nuisance.
PRETTY CooL.-One Fred Wells, ga fellow
of infinite jest, feeling rather fatigued, and
at the same time wishing to replenish the
inner man, walked into the saloon owned by
mas Reed at ha had of Groviar c@rooS op1
the levee, and assuming a princely air, or
dered all that went to make up good re-
past; but when the proprietor asked for his
pay, Wells looked quite astonished, and in
formed the saloon-keeper that he was privi-
eyed parsonage, and would pay for nothing.
He now lies in the First Precinct, where he
will at least pay the penalty of his impudence.
He WENT FOR THE PEELER.-Frank O'Neil
s festive young man of twenty-six sum-
ners. He loveth his liquor and all that sort
If thing. But Franks spirits got rather tina
better Of him last night, and took relief in
houts and other noises not at all compatible
With the peace of the community. Officer
Johnson Of the Third, hearing the sounds
hat made "night hideous," advised the dis
urber OF the peace to desist, whereupon the
outh CT light head rushed upon the conserva-
or OF the peace and atteu pied to annihilate
Inn ; but MIR. Peeler was too much for the
Dung man, and carried his prisoner in tri-
mph to the Third.
