Some of the anecdotes about the ex-Em-
peror Ferdinand, of Austria, which his death
is reviviDg, show that, after all, a great deal
OF humanity doth often hedge King. One
of his sayings has become standard at Vienna.
He was SO delighted with the dumplinps of
coarse flour that he found one day at q far
mer's cottage, in which he had taken shelter
from storm, that he commanded their reeu-
lar appearance on the royal table. The cooks
rebelled, and the physicians Joined in the
revolt But, Ferdinand, for the first time in
his life, was firm. To his physicians positive
refusal to allow him to dine eff dumplines.
he replied with stamp of his foot and the
obstinate declaration, Kaiser bin i. und
Knoedel muss i haben p Emperor am I.
and dumplings 1 will have.)
Inc confederated cooks and physicians
yielded to the inevitable as gracefully as thew
knew how, and obstinate Viennese are even
nowadays rebuked with the Emperor's phrase.
Once, when his Ministers we're gathered in
council around him and one of them occupied
several hours in reading an important report,
Ferdinand, who was seated at an open window.
apparently gave his entire attention. At the
close of the paper he said : -Four hundred
and twenty-five flcres and one hundred and
eighty omnibuses have passed through the
Hofburg during the last two hours"

Two boats are engaged in clearing out and

80 filed with deposits as to seriously affect the
drainage OF the First Fourth and Sixth Districts.
1t is now proposed to excavate canal IRON
Claiborne Canal to point between st. Charles
Avenue and the river, along Peters Avenue, IN
order to relieve section OF the sixth Dlstilct
between Peters Avenue and Greenvlle, which
seriously suffers from lack OF proper drainage,
the ground being very low.
Such q canal will doubtless become nuisance
and have to be filed after some Years, but the
Immediate benefits to the Sixth District would,
in my opinio g, compensate for the outlay.
So long as cattle are permitted to roam at will
between Claiborne Canal and st. Charles street,
it will be futile to attempt to keep open the sur
face drains street cutters leading to the Clal-
borne Cana, and it is barely possible that by the
time the Sixth District becomes 80 populoua as
to render the canal objectionable, the city of New
Orleans may regain the right and power to en-
force her ordinances
Many complaints have been received from the
Third District, and investigation shows them to
have been well founded. The Claiborne Canal
has filed with deposit to level with the street
cutters, and the properties in the rear OF the
District are frequently overfowed.
The Mississippi and Mexican Gulf Canal Com
pany decline to clean out the Canal by hand
work. This department is not in funds to do the
work, and could not do so under the law il in

leges of the Canal Company.
The boat engaged in the excavating of the tail
race from the lake to the London Avenue drain
ing machine has been injured. It is now under
