We are indebted to the New Orleans
Rifle Club. and especially to Mr.. Hugo Red
WITT, for special courtesies. The club is in q
very fouIishing condition, and numbers
many No. shots among it's members. The
bullets from Redwitz's rifle like his lager, 20
to the right spot every time. tr,1ss :.
-. Mr.. Weymouth, one of the experts ap-
pointed to examine into the books and papers
of the Funding Board and Board of Audit, is
still at work. 1t is his intention, as we'll as
that of the committee, to make an elaborate
report consequently more time is still re-
quired to perfect the examination.
...T The Saratoga Social Club will give
their first complimentary picnic at Oakland
Park, on Sunday, August 8, 1875. This club
was organized on July 20, 1876, and is off,
cered by the following gentlemen: President,
Joseph Maille Vice President, F. Barker !;
Secretary, S. Dreyfus, and Treasurer, J.
Martin.
We are glad to know that Mr. Fitz
Lonsdale, one Of the proprietors Of the st.
Charles Hotel, at present on visit to Missis-
sippi City, and who was reported Saturday
last as ill beyond hope of recovery, is much
improved. Mr. Lonsdale has been ill for
some time, but we trust his Improvement
will be rapid and permanent.
49,. 1t would seem we are never to get rid
of the everlasting Bib. He is up now for
perjury, but the Police Board think this q
trifing matter, SO they allow him to remain
on duty at the Second Precinct Station,
while, Sergeant Hearsey, q reliable officer, is
sent away up to the Eighth Precinct, because
he will not help Bib out in his swearing.
What hold has the fellow on the board?
-. There is something loose Somewhere.
Although we have progressed we'll into old
70, there are yet some twenty five tax col
lectors who have not settled up their &C.
counts. There is no reason why these public
servants should hold back public moneys for
so long time. It is unsafe for them to re-
tain in their hands large sums, as was shown
by the robbery of Mr.. s. L. Ranlett, of St.
Mary parish.
-. Drive cautiously, gentlemen, for your
own sake for the sake of your horses, and
also for the sake Of the impecunious city.
The City Park plankroad approach to the
Bayou Bridge has several very ugly and very
dangerous holes in it, and unless you are very
careful horses leg may be snapped in a
moment. A few dollars expended there now
may save the city many hundreds. "a stitch
in time" etc, You know the old saw Mr..
Superintendent of Bridges.
-. And now it appears that "Peter Will
liams," the particular Peter who drew that
pay from the "Senate contingent, is the
brother-;n-law Of w. G. Brown, the State Su-
perintendent Of Education. Funny how
these fellows are all provided for, to the most
distant cousin-the most doubtful connection
by marriage. Grants example has been fol-
lowed by every little ridiculous ofice-holder
in the country. 1t is . glorious era for
second and third cousins and poor relations
generally. ,,.s t,..... .sr
-. On Saturday evening Golf Lodge No.
221, Independent Order B'nai Birth, held q
festival at the Magnolia Gardens, which was
largely attended and hugely enjoyed. What
with dancing and fireworks We do not wonder
that when daylight broke, even then guests
were loath to leave. A salute of four guns
was, during the earlier portion of the evening,
fred in honor of sister lodges, and between
the hours Of 9 and 10 o'clock respect was
paid to the States Of the Union in like man
ner. The committee Of arrangements may
congratulate themselves upon the very able
manner in which they acquitted themselves
OF their responsibilities.
As an evidence of the interest felt in
the projected New Orleans Pacific Railroad,
we take pleasure in mentioning the fact that
the clerks of the great Wholesale grocery
house of Messrs. G. NJ B,yly & Pond have
subscribed the SUM Of fifteen hundred dollars
towards that important enterprise. This is
not only generous in these gentlemen, but it
shows that they have just and intelligent
of the necessity Of this rofd,
and of the mutual interests which the en-
ployee has in common with the employer IN
all schemes which are calculated to prove
beneficial to the commerce Of the city OF
New Orleans.
Mr.. Tom O'Connor, the Chief Of the
Fire Department, has just reached the city
from trip to the Hot Springs, Arkansas,
where he has been for the beueft of his
health. The Chief returns much improved,
and is ready and anxious to resume his old
position, which he has filled for several years
past. with credit to himself and satisfaction
to the public. During his absence Mr..
