A Leap-Year FrOlic.

"Oh Nell, Nell, | am tired tt

entertainments. They are all on
the same old plan, and all amount
to just nothing at all. save a few
soft speeches from specimens whose
brains are as light as their purse ;
who vow eternal alteration to my
shadow and apron strings, but mean
my gold instead. Dear me! My
money is a bore. wish twas al

So saying, Gypsie Lantrem, the
pretty heiress, threw herself down
on the sofa with half look of dis
gnst.
"Why, Gyp, what's up now "
queried her friend Nell Dale, as she
looked up from the book she had
been reading.
"Oh that green gawky Ross, who
came yesterday to visit uncle, is de-
tcrmined to torment my life out Of

hanging round me all the evening.

rudeness; but that wasn't enough.

"Shall it be masquerade" 7"
"Pve thought of that. But l

with its golden curls upon her hand

"GREAT TREES FROM LITTLE
ACoRNs." A little boy was carry
ing a hottie of ginger pop down
Main street the other day, when
suddenly the cork popped ont and
popped him in the north eye. When
he had sufficiently recovered from
his astonishment he yelled so vigor-
ously that small crowd soon COL
lected around him to ascertain the
matter. Two carpenters at work
on the next block around the cor
ner, in their anxiety to see what the
excitement was about, fell out of
the second story window on to a
peanut stand beneath. Then two
women tainted, one of woOm sud
denly disappeared in an adjacent
coal-cellar. Three small boys shout
ed i" fire !" and a man with a long
ladder on his shoulder, hearing their
cries, turned around suddenly, and
after overturning an apple woman
amidst the demoralizing ruin of her
wares, the end of the ladder demOl-
hished plate-glass window, and fl
nally settled itself on an old gentle
mems worst corn. Then a fat old
lady had one eye gouged out by
an umbrella, and an lrishman and
a Dutchman, after excitedly trying
to explain to each other the cause
of it all, got into fight and rolled
recklessly into the gutter. BY this
time seven policemen, headed by
two fire engines, came upon the
scene, and arrested nine innocent
lOOkers-On. This had the effect of
dispensing the crowd, most of whom
to this hour havn't the remOtest
idea what it was all about anyhow.

served. We are proud to say that Marks is a

ton from Faust by Mr.. Kaiser, in lieu of the

this gentleman play with more ease and finish
We regret the absence of a large audience,

his superb playing by storms Of applause,
which, taking no refusal, compelled him to q
repetition Of the latter part Of his solo.
As this bright young star among the solo

about to leave us, it may be apropos to give
him more than passing notice. He came to
Us known only as rising young American
violinist. As such, our musical world were

An Old Man Blows His Brains

A man named Jacob Fuhr committed sui.
eide on the banquette, on iMarigny, between
Josephine and Solidelle streets, 1t $50 O'Clock
yesterday evening, by blowing his brains on,
with pistol. He was removed to bis family's
residence, 2O7 Marigny street. a,5u
DA"BuLnEr1N. reporter visited the house
whore the unfortunate man was lying with
half of his head mangled and blown to
pieces. Mr.. Fuhr is man sixty-fye years OF
age and q cabinetmaker by trade, but having
been for some time past suffering from rheu-
matism was unable to attend to any business,
and has for some time past been living with
his two sons and unmarried daughter, at the
house above mentioned.
On Monday afternoon, Mr. Fuhr went to
visit married daughter of his who resides on
the corner of Annette and Derbigny streets,
took her children and carried them 10 his
house. After this he went out, telling his
sons and daughters that he was going TO take
little walk. he. went TO the spot where the
terrible tragedy was !enac,ed, and, sitting
down against the fence, placed the pistol 70
large sized Deringer) to his face, and pulled
the trigger, blowing the entire front Of his
face and nose eff.
The report Of the pistol was heard by Pat
rolman Gaspard, of the Fifth, who, immedi-
ately going to the spot, saw the unfortunate
man lying half leaning against the fence,
which was despatched with blood and brains
His friends can assign no cause for this
rash deed, unless it be that his son Of late has
complained that his work was very hard and
he was only half paid for it. This they think
caused the old man TO feel himself to be de-
pendent, and preyed upon his mind until it
drove him to his fatal action. Mr.. Fuhr was
. man of IS years Of age, anative Of Germany,
and has been resident Of this city for many
years, respected by all who knew him for his
probity and sobriety. He leaves son and
two daughters to mourn his untimely end.

HABEAS CORPUS.

An application for writ of habeas corpus
was made yesterday morning before Judge
Abel, by Alfred Shelby, through his attor-
ney, Mr. j. E. Wallace. The application set
forth that the arrest Of Shelby by Isaac W.
Callum, acting as Sheriff Of Grant parish, was
illegal, on the ground that Callum is not the
Sheriff of said parish, and that he was simply
acting in that official capacity by virtue of a
judgment of one Stokes, Parish Judge, which
suspended the legally elected Sheriff, Mccoy,
and appointed Callum. Judge Abel refused
the writ of habeas corpus stating that CAL
lum's appointment was by . court OF compe-
tent jurisdiction, and that Callum was. there
fore, the de fdcto Sheriff Of Grant parish. It
is most probable that another application will
soon be made. @ ,a sr

YACHTING.
The Regatta ON the Lake Next Thursday
Several Yacht Clubs to be Shortly Organ.

The yacht race which took place on the
lake on the Goth was the occasion of so much
enjoyment that the owners of the same boats,
and other yachtmen, have determined to have
q regatta on larger scale, on Thursday next,
on the lake at the terminus of the Pontchar-
train Railroad. Present Indications are that
there will be very large crowd of people
present to witness the race, and among the
ladies there is quite q display Of enthusiasm
upon the subject. The fair ones have always
evinced fondness for this species of sport,
and we doubt not that there will be goodly
attendance of them at the lake next Thurs.
day.
Yachts of the third and fourth class only
are to be entered for the race. The following
yachts have SO far signiied their Intention to
sail in the race: the Jennie, Adelia, Maggie,
Oayuga, Morning Star and Emma, Of the
third GLASS, and the Corinue, Danae, Alice II.
and John Mahoney, of the fourth class. 1t
will be remembered that the Maggie won the
last race. The owners of the others are not
fully convinced, however, that they can not
yet vanquish their fortunate rival, and we
predict most exciting contest 80 s..sso3
In this connection il may be we'll to no 'e
the fact that there is at present on foot a
movement lookiog to the formation Of yacht
clubs at many of the villages on the Lake
Shore, and also in this city. The plan, as
told us, is about as follows: AT each watering
place there is to be organizeds yacht club,
composed exclusively Of amateur sailors, who
will sail their own boats, and they viii be for
bidder to engage the services Of any profess
sional sailors. There will be possibly two or
three clubs formed in the city.
There are quite a number Of young gentle
men who spend their summers over the lake,
manysof whom are excellent yachtsmen, and
this idea Of excluding professional sailors will
lend an additional interest to the races. The
formation of these clubs will certainly lead to
many exciting races, and we expect to see
acted answ many Of the enjoyable scenes once
30 frequent at sailing races. s.si.i JaAr. 5s3l7'
Itgives us great pleasure to be able to chroni-
Gle this promised revival of this excellent and
erstwhiie favorite sport among our people; it
is one more pleasure for home folks, and one
more inducement to our people 70 speHd their
summers at or near home. Success to the
project .rs2 sggn5 sisW

Louisiana Hose Company's Annual Ex
curSiOn to Biloxi. 49,

Friday the ancient shores of Biloxi were
enlivened for the fifth time in five years by
the gallant and chivalrous boys of Louisiana
Hose Company on their annual excursion.
High living, sailing, fishing and target shoot
ing were the programmes of the day, and the
boys entered into the sports with vim. In
the target shooting, our affable friend Mr..
Dakin carried off the first prizs and Mr.
Sibilski the second.
The Louisiana field band, under the leader
ship of Messrs. Sporer and Watcher, added
much to the many pleasures of the trip. The
fremen, and our attache included, return
many thanks to heproprietor of the Magnolia
Hotel for the kind use of his sailboats
Our reporter is indebted to Mr. Charles,
Vice President Of the company. Mr.. R. H.
Benners and Mike Quinn. superintendent of
the Hole in the Wall, for personal courtesies
extended. a..f..s,
The balls given by the company were q

was especially so, during the whole of which
the two competing horses could have been
covered by blanket There were several
complicated points decided most satisfacto-
rily by that experienced turtle, Mr. q. B.
Foley, who was ably assisted by his efficient
staff, Mr.. VIM. Pagan, Judge T. F. Gaf6n and
John A.. "the nephew of his uncle"
:. The practice target shooting at the
grounds Of the Orleans Rifle Club at Mag
nolia Garden continues to be well attended on
Wednesdays and Sundays, and we incline to
the belief that among the members of this
club are those who would put Fulton, Glider
sleeve. Bodine and Coleman on their mettle.
If we mistake not, the Orleans Club can show
a better off-hand score than the New York
Club, and we doubt not their rest scores at
short distances are correspondingly excellent.
Rest shooting may be and is the best test Of
the rifle; but off hand shooting is unquestion--
ably the test of the marksmsn. sta
The cases in actual warfare, in which rest
shooting is possible. are comparatively rare,
while the opportunities for picking off an effi-
Ger or man, off hand, are numerous. The
highest prizes, in our opinion. should be
given for off-hand shooting, and he should be
considered the best marksman who can make
the best shooting, at any distance, without 8
rest. The English and Irish have been very
slow to make improvements in their method
Of shooting at targets, and, until recently,
even at Wimbledon, the ridiculously unfair
old square target was used. We expect to
see the time when off-hand shooting will take
precedence Of rest shooting and be awarded
the highest prizes in all countries H
There should be some uniform system Of
targets adopted, and We would suggest that
an international congress Of rife clubs be held
during the Centennial to arrange for uni
form system Of targets, and to make all neces-
sary rules for the guidance of clubs hereafter.
