4 PROPOSED RAID On THE
STATE TREASURY.
The Board Of Audit and Their
Little Game.
Check

In the expiring hours of the las. session,
when Antoine, the little dapper darkey Lieu
tenant Governor, was SO elated by some.
thing stronger than natural spirits, and when
| Hahn S Wing was In state bordering apon
Pandemonium, there was tackled on the Gen
and impecunious legislator section creating
a Board of Audit, whose duties were to
eXa anime and pass upon certain so-called
vouchers issued somewhat promiscuouslv
during the reign of Carter as Speaker of tho
House, and which have been hawked about
the streets at four and i've cents on the dol
lar for the last two or three years-a sort of
leprous Indebtedness so to speak, that no
clean man cared to handle
The section further authorized the board to
make statement of the vouchers considered
by them to be valid to the Auditor who was
thereupOn to issue warrants therefor, which
warrants were made receivable for the four
mills general fund tax prior to January l,
1874
This section plainly contravenes that sec
ton Of the FCnding bill which declares that
the four mills general fund tax should be de-
voted to the payment Of the warrants issued
by the Auditor to the constitutional officers
OF the State. understanding this plain con-
tiict, TIE Board Of Audit. composed of such

to place all their winnings in this scheme

THRIFT, THRIFT, H0RATIO.
Saving the Dimes for the Dollars.

The old Barnacle family won reputation
in the good old days by inventing the SWAY
not to do it, but it was left to a prominent
United States official here to evolve out of his
inner consciousness the way just how to do it.
In the first part Of April, 1873, it is said, the
handsome official employed about his Office a
tine-looking colored boy, named Pierce, IS
messenger for the government, at some tiftv
dollars per month.
The boy did his work well and was re-
garded as valuable adj unct 10 the Office, Sc
much SO he was put upon the pay rolls in
1874 as laborer, and received SO per month
All this time, this official, disliking to see SO
much native vitality go to waste, had the boy
to take up his abode with him in the Fourth
District, SO that at the residence of this dis
tinguished gent he might have scope for after
noon exercise in the exhilarating sports of
watering the streets, sweeping the walks, and
other little amusements tending to stimulate
the muscles.
He was only charged forty dollars per
month for this enjoyment in cash. He would
draw his pay of seventy-fiye dollars III the
Cu3tom-House and that night, like Il good lit
tie boy, would 20 to his quiet home with the
man OF the Custom-Hoase, paylown his forty
dollars board money, and then attend to his
evening gymnastics.
1t is evident, from all this, that this official
had a very thrifty mind. The government
paid his servant seyonty-tive dollars-he took
out forty for board and the boys services at
the table and about the house came in gratis.
During late thunder storm bright idea
struck the colored boy and it was, that he
was emerging al the end of every month at
the small end Of a very small horn, and he
accordingly expostUlated. lis protest against
the labor imposed upon him was received not
Exactly with that favor he expected as a
ooarder in the house OF high government
official, and he was respectfully reques, ed to
cave both the palatial residence and lis place
IN the Custom -House. He is now added to

CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS.
Preparing for Business.

In accordance with the call Of Mr Witt,
the Conservative Representatives now in the
city met last evening, at No. 81 Carondelet
street. The object Of the meeting was TO
consult regarding the business to be brought
forward at the approaching extra session of
the Legislature. Arrangements for the draft
Ing of certain bills to be presented were made.
After this the meeting adjourned until Thurs
day evening Discussion relative to the manner
OF organizing the House was deferred until
the 18th Of April, at which time the country
members will be present.

TIE APPROACHING TURF SPORTS.

Already one can hear on our streets the
merits Of the respective tavorites for the
coming events at the meeting Of the Louisi-
ana Jockey Club discussed on all sides. The
knowing ones have already selected their win
ners and side bets are brisk on some of the
probable starters in the hurdle race. The fact
that the course is drained so thoroughly that
the rains of last night Will have only bene-
fetal effect, has, in great measure, prevent
ed many who want heavy track from putting
up largely on their iavorites.
This thorough system of carrying off all
the rainfall in few hours is a feature on the
club course, and serves materially to insure a
speedy track no matter what the weather.
The preparations already made enable US to
promise as delightful season of outdoor
sport as has been enjoyed here for many
day past. On the first day the hurdle race
will PROFESSIONALLY be one of the most close
~ contested and spirited races we have had
here for many years past. All the old tea-
lures OF our old meetings will be introduced
at this, and it is probable the excitement will
be greater than has been known here for
Years.

An Intelligent Dog.

A Hartford expressman possesses re-.
markably intelligent dog. It is a little
"black'and-tan,' and it knows about as
much as the average jurymen in Beechcr
cases after the jury has been in uninter-
rupted session for year or two. Mr..
Barnard-the owner--will hold up one
finger and ask the dog: 'How many 2"
Answer by the dog: "Bow.' Then
Barnard holds up two, four or three fin
gers, as any bystander may request, and
the dog, without waiting to be asked,
says, if there are two, ''6ow wow! or if
there are four, "Bow WOW WOW wow" 1t
is evident that, to certain extent, the
dog can count; and he is not to be fooled
into giving wrong answer, whether the
number of fingers held up is increased in
regular numerical gra6ation or not; SO it
is no routine learning on his part, but ac-
tual intelligence and comprehension.
Ask the dog how many thousand dollars
he is worth, and he responds with five
barks. He will also tell how many COM
mandments there are and when askna
how many worcs there are in the eighth
commandment, he responds with four
bow.wows. No matter how one varies
the questions, the answer is always cor
rect.

FOREVER.

Those we love truly never die,
Though year BY year the sad memorial wreath,
A ring and flowers, types Of life and death,
Are laid upon their graves.
For death the pure life saves,
Aud life all pure is love and love can reach
From heaven to earth, and nobler lessons
Than those BY mortals read.
Well blest Is he who has dear one dead;
friend he has whose face will never change
A dear communion that will not grow strange
The anchor Of love is death.
The blessed sweetness OF loving breath
Viii reach our cheeks all fresh through weary
years.
For her who died long since, ah! waste not
She's thine unto the end.
Thank God for one dead friend,
With face still radiant with the light of truth,
Who loved the greybeard as he loved the
youth,
Through twenty years of death.

The Singer and the Shark.
(St Louis Rennblican

losAouAS hcpuD1lCaHJ
Miss Adelaide Miller is native, out
and out, of the Sandwich Islands. She
is gifted with voice Of superior sweet
ness, and is called the "Hawaiian Night.
ingale,' Miss Miller is as good swim.
mer as she is a singer, all the islanders
being amphibious from their youth up.
Miss Miller was visiting some friends at
Waikiki, Hawaiian fashionable water
ing place near Honolulu. The place is al
so the summer residence of the Hawaiian
kings, but that fact has nothing to do
with the story, except to show that Miss
Miller was DOUBTLESS in the best company
the Island affords. The beach is always
swarmjng with bathers. It is considered
safe within the limits of a certain reef,
but the daring adventurer beyond the
reef might as we'll make his or her will
in favor of the nearest fish.
The Hawaiian songstress was bathing
IN company with several Of her dusky sis
ters. The girls commenced daring each
other to swim to the reef, and finally the
songstress started, followed by the others.
AS they approached the dead line-the
sweet.voiced in the lead some men in a
passing canoe shouted wildly, ''Mano!
Mano!' The girls new well enough that
meant "shark the true blue man.eater
-cannibals of the deep. There was a
roll of water which broke the regular
surges Of the sea. A hugh shark rose to
the surface and lifted Miss Miller on his
back. That was the safest place for her
now, and she grasped the shark upper
tin to keep her seat firmly on the monster.
He probable terrified at human audacity,
skinned on the surface of the water at
lightning speed for about sixty yards,
and then getting tired of his burden, shot
down into the deeps, leaving Miss Miller
on the surface, somewhat astonished at
her adventure. The canoe picked her up
and took her ashore. Now, the course Of
the fish was directly toward the Ameri.
can coast. Miss Adelaide Miller took
the hint, and soon left for California TO
sing and make her fortune. The adven-
ture with the fish made her exceedingly
popular at home, for many Of the Pacific
and South Sea Islanders regard the shark
as sacred animal, and never kill one
except in self defence. Miss Miller's
having taken a ride on a sharks back
consecrated her, and she became to them
divine. : She is now an Hawaiian diyi, and
we may one day be treated to her song.
Now, this bar barian fish story is just as
good as any of the adventures that serve
to bring European prima donna into
notice, and it is every bit true.
