why the Star Is Popular.
From the George,OlCn Courier.

7.
THE EVENING STAR announces on the
sworn testimony OF its pressman, John Dice,
and its cashier, Samuel q. Young, that its
circulation for the closing week in February
was $3.50, an average daily issue of l4,7Il.
This is wholly unprecedented here, but THE
STAR so admirably meets public needs that
its opulariiy is not TO be wondered az. but
rather should be expected as a matter of
course. Great enterprise and care are exer-
cised in its preparation, and this is as il
should be, for the contents of no other news

Ike Store that Never AdyertiSeS
The following dOleful description of n store
that never advertises, is commended to those
merchants who think they can do business
without patroniZing the printers:
The store that never advertises Is PROBABLY
or OF tie most solemn and dreary SD &C .acles
to contemplate that is ever sprea out before
! uman vision. From the outside it resem-
bles hearse house with mournful variation.
occasionally some one steps In TO inquire,
with becoming sOlemnity, IL there has been a
death in the family, or to ask where that
store is that the paper tells about. Bat aside
from these and a few withered cronies who
drop in to discuss the causes which Led to the
Revolutionary war, the quiet of the place is
never interrupted. One of the proprietors If
there are two, posts the last years accounts
In chalk on single, and other tells how
folks did when he was young man, a story
which. if told well, makes a frst-rate legend.
They don't keep any clerks and only half keep
themselves. Timid boys say when they go
by the store, that the place is hauntel, and
the hurrying business man refers to IL as that
old place where Slow & Easy used to keep
store great many years ago. The only
difference between day and night Is, that in
head against the faded out sign board that
CroIs from the door facing, and which was
once luminous with the ay-colored word
"StOTe." Such instances are terrible warn
ings to men of the present age, not TO try do
business without advertising.

strangers who have honored Washington
during the past session with their presence,

and those TO whom he brought letters of intro.
duction from Sir Stafford Northcote, (who
was here on the High Joint Commission,)
Were soon very tired of him. One day, after
his disagreable qualities had become gene
rally known, he was a guest at q dinner
party, with some OF the highest officials, and.
as Us ual with him, he was determined to lead
and monopolize the conversation. After g
while, he said, or rather shouted: Snow all

in n loud tone TO ask the question success

and finally it came to the turn of the host,

that Heaven Is a place where people can dine

was general roar OF laughter, but the

St. Patrick's Day.

The annual celebration. of the day de-
voted to 1reland's patron saint will be held
next Wednesday by the Hibernian Be-
nevolent and Mutual Aid Association for
the sixth time. The principal event Of the
day will be the procession of the branches,
the invited guests and associatio ns, which
will assemble at Clay Statue at eleven
O'Clock. The route is little different than
that of last year, going up town first instead
of down.
The order of forming the procession, pub
lished this morning by James Sweeney,
Esq, grand marshal, directs branches Nos.
l, ?, 3, 4, 8 and IA, together with the invited
associations and guests, to form on the
north side of Canal street, and branches
Nos. 5, 6, 9, 10 and II on the south
side. Special directions for the formation
Of the different branches are also given.
There is every prospect of full turnout
of every branch on Wednesday, but that
everything may be nice and pleasant,
every possible arrangement has been made
for fair day, for if Wednesday should
prove foul, seventeen taps on the bells will
notify the wearers of the green to wait till
Sunday before turning out.

Colonel McCemb ON the Rebuilding of the
LeVe0g.

Colonel McCemb on the Rebuilding of the
WASHINGTON, March l3.-ColOnel II. s.
McCOmb has written letter to q gentle
man here in which he says: 1.-THE rebuilding
Of the levees is altogether too vital thing
for the people of Louisiana to allow personal
considerations to come in the way Of needed
help. l have. not failed in season, and out
OF season, to say good word wherever
could to members of Congress and others
tor an appropriation for the rebuilding of
these levees.
"Thus, far, however, have taken occasion
TO particularly recommend that the money
which might be appropriated by the gov
ernment should be expended under the
special direction of the federal government,
through their engineer department There
are many reasons why this should be done j.
and the most prominent of which is that
the people would get twice more lineal
yards Of levees built under. direction
OF the federal authority than they
would If the work were cone by
the Levee Company, unless the Lcvee Com
pany would agree to build them at q figure
as low per cubic yard as any other respon-
sible person would do them for, in which
case the people would be equally we'll
served. whether they were built by the
Levee Company, or by individuals, or BY the
government. Every we'll wisher of the
State OF Louisiana ought to feel an interest
in having this policy with reference to the
levees prevail"

Indicted for Murder.

Last Thursday. considerable excitement
was caused on our streets by the arrest of
three citizens for the lynching of the mur
derer SEVERN Behoit =.
At the time of the hanging, such was the
excitement and crowd, that it was yerv
difficult AOtell who participated In the
,affair, but it seems that some sympathizing
colored persons made affidavits against
Messrs. Burbank Pierre Lsgarde and
Ozeme Jacob.
After these gentlemenwere lodged in jail,
the cihzens were clamOr0us for their re-
moval and being provided better quarters.
A number Of responsible gentlemen became
their surety. and they were allowed to 90
home that night but Friday afternoon re-
ported to the sheriff, who has since kept
them under guard in room of Mr.. c. D.
De Valo0urts restaurant.
Their case being brought before the grand
Jury, that body found . true bill for murder.

. That Adjustment.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Post, March 10, says:
1t turns out now that THE Democratic
members of the Louisiana Legislature did
not sign the Wheeler compromise, as re-
ported. They merely signed documents
submitting their claims to 3 new board of
seven arbitratOrs, which should include
congressman Marshall, Phelps, Foster and
Potter, the remaining three to be selected
by the Republicans. The original board
consisted of Messrs. Wheeler, Hoar, Frye
and Marshall. The Republican members of
the Louisiana Legislature held a caucus
yesterday, and last night James S. Mathews,
their chairman, telegraphed here that they
had decided to have nothing to do with the
new board OF seven arbitrators, four of
which were nominees of the White League,
Mr.. Phelps exhibits the most servile preiu-
dice against Southern Republicans. Messrs.
Foster and Marshall are the same as Mr..
Potter, more moderate, but hampered BY
obligation to the Democratic party. They
are certainly not qualified to arbitrate fair
ly, and the Southern Republicans are JUS
titled by every one here in declining to
submit to another arbitration, especially a.
the White League Democracy has, without
cause, withdrawn from the first. This is
the exact status this morning, obtained
from the very best authority. Marshal
Packard and Mr.. Wheeler yet hope for
compromise. Both leave here for New York
this morning with that end in view. Nothing
can, however, be done, unless the Repub-
llcan members of the Louisiana Legislature
agree to a new arbitration, with the major
lty OF the arbitrators against them. 1t is
however, the Grant compromise
may be resOrted to as best. After all. il ia
simply the enforcement of the law.
