sand-heap without house on it.

ing the ne pinch-in costume as delicate COM
pliment to their colored champion in the
School Board.
49,. To the surprise of the clerks lawyer
visited the United States District Court
Tuesday 1t produced considerable Of a stir
and they put it down as busy day.
=. The Republicans hold daily councils,
and there is considerable of movement in
their ranks. The school question is the prin-
cipal topic of their conversation.

five hundred people get meals their daily. OF
the five hundred and odd, three hundred are

go. The Sisters at Charity Hospital report
that their only revenue now is the Louisiana
Lottery tax. They are in urgent need of

thing should be done to procure them the
necessaries for the coming winter.
-. How long would New York, Philadel-
phia, Chicago, or any other city, put up with
"a School Board composed of a majority of
negroes? Louisiana is State in the Union,
and not the Kingdom of Dahomey.
49, Gov. Kellogg is on his way home. He
will, however, take in Chicago, and stop over
there for a time not specified, and in conse-
quence there is no telling just when he may
be expected.
-. 1T is quite possible that the next move
on the part Of the School Board will be to
order the African dialects and the Voudou re-

literature.
80. There was quite lively time in the
Second Metropolitan Police Court. Two
negro women, confined in the " Bull Pen y
Dock, got into difficulty. and one drew a
knife which she had concealed on her person,
and cut the other, inficting two painful and
severe but not dangerous wounds.
80. The present City School Board, the
most disgraceful body in the known world,
is composed entirely of Radicals. Nice party
that. The language of its platform is beaui-
full, but its School Board is sample of its
works.
=. Canal street promenaders are out daily
now in full force. The cool spell of weather

summer housed up, and our boulevard
wears its wonted appearance The shop
windows are filled with novelties and buyers
are increasing.
-. The report published few days ago
that an observer at Russian observatory had
discovered a mirror in the moon is hoax.
A mirror of one hundred feet square, as this
was said to be, would show less than one
fiftieth of a second on the moons surface,
and no known instrument could measure it.

cradle. The appropriation for its benefit,
made by the State, was and is still epjoined,

This warrant was lost by the Treasurer, and
Clinton, standing on the injunction, refuses
to issue another.
-. The Sisters Of Charity in charge of the
Charity Hospital complain very much about
the treasury being short of funds. They also
state that the employees of the hospital have
not received their pay for the last ten months
and that they have not even got a change o.
clothing for one-half of the patients, the
total number Of which, up to date, is 557, Of
which onethird are colored.
The more respectable portion of the
Republican party in this city are quite as
severe in their denunciation of the School
Board as the Democrats. A Radical Senator
declared that it was a public scandal, and he
,, Endorsed every word the BULLETIN had said
on the subject. That's the right talk; but is
there Republican in the city bold enough tc
announce himself as a speaker before the mass
meeting on Saturday night, in opposition tc
what ia universally conceded to be a shame &c
