As many inquiries made as to the objects and

gives an account, in the last Capital, of Zach
Chambers search Of him in Newspaper Row,
very much as the correspondent of the Chi
cago Times reported it, and adds:
The next day we had business with the Ser.
genatat-Arms Of the Senate, Mr.. French. and
while sitting upon sofa talking to that gen
t!eman, who should leom up at the door but
the war man Of Michigan, and as he ap-
preached directly upon US We gently slid our
right hand into the pocket Of our overcoat,
where our fingers gentlyIcaressed a revolver,

propose being snuffed out by an ex-senator,
or anybody else drunk or sober We have
observed through life, in our checkered career,
that when . man is killed he is Just as dead
when murdered by drunken man as when
demised by Son Of Temperance.

DISTRICT TELEGRAPH.
SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.

We learn that company has been formed
in this city for the purpose of erecting and
maintaining district telegraph-for messen-
ger, police and fire service, similar to that
which has been in successful operation in
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and other
cities for several years past. The material,
wire, apparatus, ETC., is already here in the
Custom House, and it is thought it will all be
put up during the summer ready for business
by the first of September. The Office will be
in some central location, and arrangements
will be made so as to connect with the fire
alarm and police telegraph-thus very ma
terially lessening the probability of fires and
burglaries
In the event of fire breaking out either in
house in which one Of the company's boxes
is placed, or in its vicinity, the simple turn
ing of a small crank will instantly notify the
central Office of the exact locality of the fire,
and that intelligence will instantly be con-
veyed to the Central Police Station and va
rious fire stations. Again, turn Of the same
little crank will bring messenger post-haste
to carry bundle, or letter, or message-thus
saving infinite labor, time and trouble.
A burglar detected in endeavoring to effect
an entrance into residence will find himself
nabbed by peeler who comes in response to
the turning of the same little crank.
Doctors are called. lawyers and witnesses
sent for, and, indeed it would be quite i'm
possible to note in brief space one-half the
purposes to which this useful and economical
invention can be, and is put. We will pub
lish in short time ali the particulars as to
charges, etc.

THE METAIRIE CEMETERY.

| At meeting Of the Board of Directors OF
the Metairie Cemetery Association. held on
Thursday, at the Office Of the company, No.
16 Carondelet street, Mr.. Chas. T. Howard
was reelected President of the association for
the ensuing year, and W. G. Lipscomb was
reelected Secretary. BY this action the d.
rectors have assured the perfect success of the
enterprise, and it will not, we feel certain, be
very long before, under the management of
the able and efficient officers above named,
the cemetery will take rank with the first in
the country. We learn that it is Mr.. How
ards desire and purpose to carry out faith
fully the design of those who founded the
cemetery, and that nothing that energy,
good taste, and the funds Of the
company combined can accomplish will
be left undone. New Orleans has long needed
just such secluded, spacious and beautiful
burying ground-her dead have too long been
huddled together in what strangers have
termed "bake ovens" situate in the very
center Of the city, and we believe the day is
not far distant when the already over crowded
cities Of the dead will be closed by municipal
ordinance as endangering 1.-THE health of our
population.
The Metairie is unquestionably ithe ceme-
terry of the present and the future, and is des-
tined to become to New Orleans what Green
wood is to Brooklyn and New York. The sale
of lots will now doubtless be rapid, for as the
cemetery improves the value of the lands will
and those who defer investments
will have to pay roundly for their procrastina-
ton,

DISCRIMINATION IN FAVOR OF
MERIT.

People who are charitably inclined have il
in their power to do incidental good by using
discrimination in their purchases in favor o.
meritorious dealers. Some of the candidates
for business are more deserving than others
using their substance with sober economy
dealing fairly with clerks and servants, shun
ming vicious indulgence, and helping to the
best of their ability in maintaining public
order and promoting the health of society.
Such dealers deserve patronage, and its be-
stowal benefits them and the public. A
benevolent and thoughtful lady may do good
by going few blocks out Of her way to
make purchase from merchant whom she
knows to be deserving, instead of stepping
into the first store and buying from stran-
ger. In our large cities considerations o.
this kind are too often overlooked. Wealthy
and worthy people bestow their patronage
without regard to merit, buying where they
find 1t most convenient, and looking to
nothing else except qualities and prices Of
merchandise. This is not SO much from sell
fishness as from thoughtlessness. The same
persons who will speak of man as "one
who deserves to succeed" will put themselves
to no trouble to promote his success, when
they could easily do it without injury to them
selves. When servants are hired, too little
notice is given of their merits, otherwise than
in the work which they are employed to do
Of two men who are applicants for employ.
ha e
honorable character and a good and worthy
citizen, while the other is far from being
either. If the employer looks only to the ser.
vice to be performed, and not at all to the
moral merits Of the applicants, he neglects an
opportunity to reward desert.
There is nothing sen timal in this idea. Il
is for the highest good of the community that
the worthy should be encouraged. Nothing
so powerfully builds up and supports society
and strengthens the city or State, as putting
all private and public business into worthy
hands There is no way in which the good
and philanthropic citizen can SO effectually
contribute to solid and durable public good,
as by his efforts, his influence, and his exam
pie in discriminating in favor Of the deserv-
ing, and helping those whom he knows will
in their turn help others. There are men
who need no laws to control them, no courts
to compel them to pay their debts, no COM
pulsion to do any duty, no restraint from any
crime or misdemeanor, men whose word is
held sacred, in whose hands all private and
public property is safe, against whom no bolt
need be drawn or key turned, men, to whom
anothers money, rights and reputation can
at all times be safely intrusted. These are
the men who deserve patronage, employment
strengthen the State. and who dignity all
in which they may be engaged |

Of "the girls they left behind them," for
which they can scarcely be blamed, for

probably, never congregated in the same

The crew that could have stuck to their

acts sometimes as soft soporifc.
