MANS CURIOSITY AND GREED.-E ladies
who have been tainted by men for their
curiosity in all things could have attended
an auction sale of unclaimed express pack
ages yesterday, they would have found
abundant proof on which to base retalia-
displayed by men was past ordinary belief.
Men who are supposed to possess fair
amount of sense offered round sums Of
good money for an old box or trunk, the
contents Of which was entirely unknown to
them, and the auctioneer guaranteed
nothing. These packages, or at least some
of them, were put up for sale purporting to
be goods left with an express company aud
not called for within specified time and
were sold to the highest bidder at his own
price-blird. The express agent pre-
tended that he knew nothing what
ever of the articles sold-the package
might contain gold coin for all he
knew on it might hold brick bats, yet eager
bidders were not lacking. Purchasers were
as anxious as the most prying old woman
could be to see what they had captured.
With nervous hands they would tear open
their trophy and with bated breath gaze on
q lot of second hand tracts or rubbish. One
victim paid big price for box which
proved to have once contained cheese-all
was bad smelling dust, and so on to the end
of the chapter. Occasionally there were
exceptions, but in those exceptions the
bidder was almost certain to find an
elephant. It is not reasonable to suppose
that valuable packages are often neglected
by the sender or consignee, and then again
it is possible that employees procure odd
boxes, packages, cases, or old trunks, fix
them up and place them with the other

ST. MARTIN.


From the New Iberia Sugar Bout, July
20:
At St. Mart;nsvil,e last Friday. while the
oldest son of Mr.. Stanislas Bienvenu was
carelessly handling his revolver, one cham
Der was accidently discharged. and the bali
took effect in the abdomen Of his little
brother. aged fourteen years, and caused
his death in short time. Horror stricken
and crazed with grief. the unfortunate
brother tried to kill himself with the same
revolver, and doubtless would have done 80,
had he not been prevented by his mother.
This is one of those horrifying accidents
which calls forth all the sympathy of our
nature, yet it is terrible warning against
the careless use of firearms. We are sure
that more persons are accidentally injured
while carrying and handling revolvers than
are shot Intentionally, or, in other words,
man is safer without pistol than with
one. Let all use their influence to put
stop to this habit Of possessing, if no: carry
ing, revOlvers.

A SINGULAR Story.

The Jervis New York; Gazette publishes
the following: One night recently young
man Of this village attended a ball, and
while there his watch and chain were
stolen. He had no idea who took them.
The next day he informed his aunt of the
fact. THE latter claims to have super
natural visions at times.) That night she
dreamed, and in the dream saw the man
who stole her nephew's watch. The next
day she went to the depot, and there, stand.
ing on the platform, was the man her
dream-vieion told her was the thief. She
approached and asked him to tell the time
Of day. When he pulled out the watch she
recognized it and seized it with her hand,
telling the man it was her nephew's watch,
and he must give it up. He refused, and a
tore The watch-chain from the mans vest.
She had no sooner secured the watch than
the man speedily left. The woman not
seen him since.

BRIEF MENr1oN.-Judge Quinn, having
failed to obtain copy of the evidence in
the case of Peter Coyle, charged with the
murder of young Zsigler. did not yesterday
make any disposition in the matter.
Judge Staes last week collected fines
amounting to So 50; Judge Adams, sl2 50;
Judge Falls, $40.
The City Hall was yesterday quite like
the English tourists idea OF Mount Vesu.
vius-nothiag in it.
Nearly all the fig trees are shedding their
leaves, the foliage looking as if it had dried
up for lack Of water, which is not the case.
Colonel Loan recently received letter
from person who said that he must have
employment or he would kill himself. As
no reply was made by the colonel, the man
yesterday appeared at police headquarters
and urged his suit, but without success.
There was but q single daylight arrest in
the first precinct yesterday, and that was
Clara Nelson, who battered one Of her &C.
quaintances.
The uptown coroner having completed
the inquest in the case of Magill Monsono,
has made an affidavit charging John Alex.
ander, alias Jones, with the murder. This
is the killing that took place six miles be.
low Algiers at the cutoff road.
