IMPRACTICABLE.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin /:

Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
The author of the article headed "What
Has to be Done" in the Times, May 9th, wants
to earn some more cheap laurels, as it seems.
Having proved in No. 1856 of the BULLETIN
the impracticability of that relief scheme,
was surprised to find in last Mondays edition
of the Times some more of that authors fam
tastic ideas,. headed Gloves Labor Lost,
mixed with some other citings of Shakespeare,
and addressing me, or rather my signature,
personally in somewhat excited style. No
doubt that gentleman is we'll versed in Shake
speare's works, but that will not make his
propositions more sensible or practicable.
The plan said gentleman proposes now to
induce capitalists to adopt his scheme is even
more adventurous than the first He pro-
poses the State should give 100000 acres Of
land, the whole to be divided into one thou
sand honesteads of one hundred acres each
each settler receiving half of the homestead
fifty acres-for his possession and the means
to work it with on credit, which he would re-
pay in the course OF ten years with seven per
cent interest; the other half, being SO, ZOO
acres, would be sold by the association to the
benefit of the association. Here the author
of that scheme disposes of public lands as if
they were his own, while by bequeathing an
association with such an amount Of real es.
tate would be created a ring whose power it
would be imprudent to underrate. In fact,
the whole favors too much of q job. How
the writer of those propositions can boast that
they are "alive and kicking yet is more
than can perceive. Respectfully, A. B. c.

COFFINS BY THE THOUSAND.
An Afternoon with the Charity
Hospital Carpenter.

Shakespeare's Grave Digger has passed
into everyday story, and the quaint charac-
teristics of the ideal has made it bold in its
relief against the other characters of Hamlet.
As much so stands out old man Kieffer, the
cofin-maker OF the Charity Hospital About
seventy-six years of age, with long silvery
hair and a wooden leg. genial, jovial mouth,
and pair of well-worn suspenders, sur
rounded by his battery Of collins, he is the
picture of commitment.
The hours go by marked only by the bell
which announces the death of some inmate,
and the old man hearing this picks up his
nails and puts together the box for the last
departed. Taking q quiet walk through the
grounds of the Hospital, we came across this
happy old gent, and his apparent satisfied all
attracted our attention. Accosting him, he
laid aside his hammer and, with smile, said
that business was rather dull now, but that
doubtless it would commence before long.
90 You know" said he, "when the professors
and the medical classes don't attend the Hos
pital the deaths drop of, and now don't
have much to do. I have been cofin-make,
in the Hospital since 1856, and when am
pushed can work out ten day."

he gave twist to his wooden leg and look.
ing over towards the dead-house, he with a
quiet sort of humor said: ''You know can't
say how many of these boxes I've made. bu,
it's thousands. When we have epidemics it's
too much for me. but now get along easy.
After bidding him goodbye we left him,
saving away at new coffin, apparently as
happy as the proverbial sunfower.

PADDY CLARK.

The following, from the Chicago Tribune,
shows that our gallant and uncomfortable
citizen, Paddy Clark, the Defiant Dairyman,
is obtaining worldwide reputation, and we
shall not be at all surprised to learn that the
poet Laureate 0of England, has made Paddy
immortal by some such splendid tribute to
his prowess and daring as he bestowed upon
the charge of the Light Brigade:
War has broken out again in New Orleans,
the combatants being the Metropolitan Police
force on one side and the lrrepressible. in.
domitable, illogical Paddy Clark on the other.
Paddy is considerable owner Of sheep and
COWS. Not only is he an owner of animal
nature; he is also lover of it, and defender
of it. The liberty of the cow has always been
q cause near to his heart
As Hampden resisted the imposition Of
ship-money, as the patriot fathers stepped
their tea IN Boston harbor, as the Smith Sis
ters sacrifice their property on principle, as
Henry Bergh labors for the alienation OF
dumb creatures sufferings, Paddy Clark
maintains the rights of his cows to wander at
their own sweet will, and browse upon the
grass in the streets of the Crescent City. But
the police, ever-ready myrmidons of tyranny,
object. They are Kellogg's banditti. They
like the grass in the streets, for they have
both planted and watered it; every spear is
dear to them. They Cypress Paddy Clark and
impound his cows. The tale of the last con.
flict is brindled. On Thursday morning,
May 10, the police made o raid
into Clark's territories and carried
off his sheep. Word was at that
time left with one of the non-combatants that
another visit would be made in the evening,
and all stray cows be taken. Clark sent his
defiance, turned all his COWS loose, and waited
for the onslaught. 1t came at the appointed
time The shock was terrible. Ten cows
were lassoed by about twenty policemen, and
victory at first seemed to have settled upon
the banners of tyrrany. But the Clarka
charged. Mr.. Clark cut one policeman open
with cheeseknife, and Mrs. Clark laid two
men low with an iron bar. Mrs. Kate Nor
rison also did fearful execution with her fists.
The carnage was awful. Finally the olice
broke and ran. When they returned with re-
Inducements the COWS had disappeared, but
the Clarks were an easy prey. Unselfshness
could no further go than that Clark should
surrender his own liberty for that of his
COWS.

Rev. VIM. Brown, D. D., chairman of the
Committee on Friendly Relations between the
Northern and Southern Churches, made q
lengthy report, which was laid over for further
consideration.
The gist of the report seems to lie in the
following passage. In the communication
from the Rev. VIM. Brown, Chairman of the
Southern Committee, to the Rev. DR.. Niccols,
Chairman Of the Northern Committee, he
says: eff your assembly could see its way
clear to say few plain words to this effect:
That these obnoxious things we're said and
done in times of great excitement that they
are to be regretted; and that now, in calm
view, the imputations cast upon the Southern
Church are disapproved, that would end the
diff Guilty at once"
In reply to this, DR.. Niccols says: 1--WE
cannot make this recommendation to our
assembly, for the reason that we are still OF
