On next Friday evening, at Harmony Hall
Thanks for invitations received.
-. The people of the State can rejoice
Tom Anderson did not die. He got out tn
other day and arrived in the city yester
day. He is somewhat pulled down, but il
good for the next election.
-. Attorney General Field left the city
yesterday. He will be absent five or 81,
weeks. Auditor Clinton leaves for shor
time on Saturday next, and then quiet viii
reign ct the State House.
-. That terrific clap of thunder which
startled good many people at about O'Clock
+ last evening, almost demolished house stu
ated on Melpomene street. between Prytanis
and Coliseum. Nobody hurt.
The members of Home Hook and Lad
der No. l, of the Sixth District, will make
their annual excursion to Biloxi, on Saturday
August IA. We are under obligations to the
company, through the President, Mr.. Eugene
May, for invitations to participate.
.....A larger territory has been given Mr.
Kinsella, the special agent Of the Treasury
Department at the Custom House. Instead
of the State of Louisiana alone, he now has
supervision of Mississippi Texas, Alabama
and that part Of Florida west of the Apalachi
cola River.
-. Lieutenant and Acting Governor An
tome yesterday appointed ]. H. Randell
Clerk of the District Court, parish of Rapides.
The appointment was made on the recon-
mendation of J. Madison Wells, whose son
having been comfortably fixed as Deputy
Collector of the Port, had no further use fol-
the position.
-. The commissioners of the Melon
OCH School Fund yesterday selected as q
site for the McDonogh School No. 6, Sixth
District, Q lot Of ground situated on Napoleon
Avenue, between Camp and Magazine streets.
Mr.. JAS Cox, the contractor for building the
school house, will commence work imme-
diately.
"A man who was sued for q bill before
one of the Justices courts. confessed to
owing it, but pleaded conscientious scruples
against settling it. He had declared he would
not pay, and he didn't want to " tell q story"
Judgment with costs was entered up against
the conscientious man, and now he says the
COSTS
49,. There should be in every city an in
spector of buildings, and no ediice should be
permitted to go up unless it is properly con-
structed We have long entertained this
opinion, and it is confirmed by noticing the
clumsy and really unsafe brick work being
done on number of large buildings now in
course of erection in this city. Some Of
these days when one of these buildings
tumbles down and kills several people
"nobody" will be to blame, as usual.
1t would almost seem that the floods
so lately devastating the Western country had
broken upon us, if one would judge from the
rain storm experienced here yesterday after
noon and night. The thunder rolled and the
torrents came down so that street crossings
were covered in very short time. 1t was a
night for suicides, so black, and "damp and
uncomfortably wet hunder foot" as Samivel
Weller says
49,. The practical jokers about the Court
House are again at their FRANKS A battalion
of them, headed by Deputy Sheriff Golding
made raid on Prat's saloon and called tor
London porter, knowing well that he had
mono on hand. They told him all the physi-
clans of the city now prescribed this drink
as . summer beverage. He, anticipating a
heavy demand, laid in large stock, and has
not sold bottle since. He mutters maledic-
tons on the heads of these wags.
New Orleans is about the only city in
q civilized country where fruit dealers or any
other dealers are permitted to occupy one-half
the sidewalk on principal thoroughfare. No
other City Council in this country would toll
crate SO fragrant an encroachment upon the
rights Of the public. the Mayor of any other
city, as its chief executive, would himself take
cognizance of the palpable violation OF a city
ordinance, and see that the evil was corrected
What's the trouble anyhow about this mat
ter? What makes the street officials blind
and the police dumb? II this thing isn't
attended to soon we propose to barrlcade
some street and decline to remove the obstruc-
ton until justice gets to be more even-handed.
II there is any good reason why few mer-
chants should be granted favors denied to the
many, we should like to know what they are.
-. There Is nothing SO grateful to the nos
trils of reporter than the snuff OF rich
item, and yesterday we thought there was
the scent in the air of big Custom-House
fraud. The Times had the following:
The fact is we'll known that Kinsella made
away with papers tending to criminate Her
wig.
Mr.. Kinsella very conveniently misIaid q
voucher, approved in blank, which was placed
in his hands some time since. GA fellow
feeling makes us wondrous kind. "-Artisan.
The following is copy of the particular
voucher alleged to have been made away
with. It will be seen that the blank space
can be filed in with any amount:
No. 10.
