Men We Don't Want TO Meet.

The man who having, by an accident beer
thrown once IN your company, makes bold te
bawl your name out and to shake your hand
protusely when you pass him in the street.
The man who volunteers his criticism on
your new play or picture, and points out its
worst faults in presence of your wife.
The man who wears white hat in the win
ter and smokes pipe when walking, and ac-
costs you as an old fellow just as you are
hoping to make an impression on some well
dressed lady friends.
The man who, with look of urgent bust
ness when you are in hurry, takes you by
the button-hole to tell you bad joke.
The man who, sitting just behind you at
the opera, destroys half your enjoyment by
humming all the airs.
The man who makes remarks on your per-
sonal adornment, asks you where you buy
your waist-coats, and what you paid for your
dress-b boots.
The man who lards his talk with little scraps
of French and German after his return from a
Continental tour.
The man who spoils your pleasure in seeing
a new play by applaud:ng in the wrong places,
and muttering il stage-whispers his comments
on the plot.
And, to finish with, the man who, when
you draw back slightly to appreciate picture
oooliy comes and stands in front of you aud
then receding, also treads upon your toes

CITY HALL.

The Administrator Of improvements Majo
Burke, has in his employ now quite large
force. The additional hundred and fifty
laborers have been distributed throughout the
several districts Of the city, and the work Of
grading streets, repairing bridges, etc, is now
going briskly on.
Although more than the authorized number
Of laborers have been put upon the roll, the
Department Of Improvements was, this morn
ing, still besieged by q large crowd anxious
and persistent in a demand for work.
The paying Of taxes and licenses for the
year 1875 still proceeds in the Department OF
Finance, but there is considerable falling eff
in the receipts as compared with last week.
The receipts, however, are quite satisfactory
Mr.. Pilsbury is in receipt OF cablegram
from an association of bankers in Paris, ask
ing concerning city prospects, debts, and gen
eral financial condition; also whether the CITY
authorities had any proposals to make.
Mr.. Pilsbury desires first to see what legis-
lation will be enacted affecting the city, before
replying; he will then forward to the said as
sociation a copy of the semi-annual report of
the Mayor and Administrators, and such
other information as may be deemed neces-
Sary.

A COUPLE OF SENSATIONS.

Our somnolent city will have, in shoi
time two frst-class sensations First,
point Of time, will be the coming Of thos
specimens of Radical craftsmanship and VII
tue, Morton and Cameron-both Of WHOM
are somewhat notorious as ardent friends an
defenders of the South, and the former 0
whom has struggled SO manfully and persist
emily in behalf Of our struggling and suffer
ing people. We hope no one will think there
is any irony in these remarks; for. indeed
they are as true, as reliable, as honest, as
as Morton himself.
0 yes Morton is O friend Of ours. H
loves the people Of the South very dearly
more especially the black people, whose
ability to vote early and often he can never
sufficiently admire.
After Morton and Cameron who will only
stay with us long enough to get away to
Mexico, whittier they are going for purposes
best known to Tom Scott-will come once
more the famous discoverer of the Louisiana
banditti, the military chap who saw "assas-
sination in the air and whisky everywhere.
1t is Just possible that the coming of this
modem Munchausen will produce no ripple
Of excitement in our quiet city, and that the
people, "banditti" and all-borrowing leaf
from the record of their intimate enemy
will mot be afraid.
The fact that Shenandoah Munchausen
bre a'hes the same air with us will not faint
it with any inconyenient sulphurous flavor,
although there may be some old women
am opg US who would fain welcome him back

HO, FOR THE RACES!

The prospect for the races, both as to
weather and sport, are 50 brilliant that quite
an unusual stir has been created among ladies
and gentlemen in reference 10 the manner OF
| going out to the course during the meeting.
In England half the fun of the races consists
in the Jolly rides, in all sorts of vehicles, to
and from the track. Everybody there takes
the deepest interest in the delightful and
glorious sport, and royalty itself lends the
sanction Of its presence. Let our ladies aid
gentlemen therefore be forming parties and
making arrangements for attending the COM
ing spring meeting overt the Louisiana Jockey
Club Course. Those who can't afford TO pay
for carriages can join funds and hire omni-
buses and those who fancy more quiet and
more economical means of CONVEYANCE can
take either the Orleans or the Bayou Road
street cars, both Of which run almost to the
entrance of the course. We have had gloom
and sadness enough; let US now have season
of fun Life is too short to sigh it away; let
us laugh and be merry.

SPELLING EPIDEMIC.

The photographic epidemic which has swept
like hurricane through the Western cities
and villages has at List broken out in New
Orleans, aud threatens to rage with great
,irulence. The first grand spelling match
will take place some time during the coming
week, at st. Patrick's Hall, under the auspices
of the CInal Street Presbyterian Church,
corner OF Canal and Derbigny, the proceeds
to be devoted to the completion of the new
church buildipg-now in process of construc-
ton.
1t will be rare fun to see class ranging
from little girls to elderly matrons and ambi-
tious youngsters to sedate bald-heais, en-
gagged in a contest for superiority as to SPELL
ing. II is sincerely to be hoped that there
will not be bad spell of weather-any child
ought 10 know how to spell that easy word,
and the chap that spells separate with three
'e's" ought u be banished.
