U A genial professor in one of the
Scotch universities has bright boy OF
four years, whose only experience in
church-going was where the service was
in Congregational form. A few Sab.
baths since relative was to preach in
the Episcopal church, and the professor
permitted the child to accompany him
thither. All went on decorously until
the minister, in his white robes, presented
himself, when the little fellow, with n
tug at his sleeve, very nearly upset the
professors gravity by wonderingly ex.
claiming, Papa, does Uncle Joseph
sleep here?'

Tom Scott and his lobby are said to be
working up sentiment in favor of the Texas
Pacific job con the high moral lay" A
Washington dispatch says: CAN the argu-
ments before the House Committee on Pacific
Railroads have been concluded, and the Texas
Pacific scheme will be reported in few days.
Col. Scott has been at work very quietly, but

assisted by Gov. John G! Blown, of Tennes-
see; Capt Bofnger, of St. Louis; Col. VIM.
II. Roberts, of New Orleans, and other infu-
entail representative men Of the South and

The utmost care has been observed to avoid
even the appearance of the use Of money in
this direction, and whatever may be the fate
of this bill, no charge OF having used corrupt
appliances to further his interests can be
brought against Col. Scott. There has been
no lobbying in the sense of persuadipg indi-
vidual members, and most of the arguments
before the committees of the House and
Senate have been made by Col. Scott in per-
son."-SdUdnnah Ne,os.

A FIGHT in COURT.

Wednesday morning difficulty occurred in
the Second District Municipal Courtroom,
between two young men we'll known here,
named F. Rance and Edgar Bouligny. 1t
seems that they were both arrested at late
hour Tuesday night, charged with disturbing
the peace and shooting at one another.
Judge Staes asked them what they had to
say, when words passed. Rance then sprang
at Bouligny and free fight ensued, and, had
it not been for the timely interferenceiof Capt
John P. Montamat, who happened to be in
the courtroom at the time, the affair might
have ended seriously.
Judge Staes accordingly fined them S25
each or thirty days in the Parish Prison, and
twenty four hours for contempt. The fines
we're paid and they were sent to the Parish
Prison.

The gas saving epidemic has reached
New Orleans, and consumers are cogitating
as to how they can lessen those little bills.
Our sportsmen are busy preparing for
the approaching grand pigeon tournament.
1t is said that the best shots Of this country
will be in attendance.
The orange flowers now perfume with
their delicious fragrance the air Of the Garden
District This early budding may endanger
the orange yield if We have heavy frost.
80. Wednesday morning was bright and
cheerful; just the kind of weather to induce
the ladies and little folks to go to the matinee,
anda large number Of them yielded to the
inducement.
Boys who can't get to the theater at
night stand around the corner of ST. Charles
and Canal streets, looking at the dissolving
views and listening to the harangue of the
gold pen peddler.
J.. Canal street now has become an open
market, and one can purchase on the sidewalks
almost anythicg from q pet alligator to
recipe for making cognac. Dog fanciers,
bird vendors, and the old men with the we'll
washed little poodes, line the barquettes.
The average street urchin takes 10
ringing door bells as he does to peppermint,
but something ought to be done to limit him
in the too full indulgence Of his sport. If
some old ladies we "wot of" could catch
them, wouldn't there be centennial chorus
around town?
-. The latest excuse out for those stealing
in after midnight with their hats under their
arms, and roll of papers in their shirt
bosoms, is that they were members of the
Grand Jury on "this whisky bizerness, and
had ter yer know taste it, by order Of the
jedge." That Grand Jury was composed of
some two hundred members last night.
-. Considerable interest is being mani
tested to see the report of the Committee on
Investigating the State Treasurer. There are
rumors Of some rich and startling develop
1nents, but just what those developments will
be or who they will most seriously affect is
not yet positively known. The State Treas
urer is, however, we take it, not just now in a
very agreeable frame of mind.
-. The Second Municipal Police Court
was on Wednesday morning filed to greater
capacity than We have ever before witnessed.
The crowd was brought together through
the curiosity Of those who make it their
business to hang around this place to such an
extent that it has become positive nuisance.
If Judge Staes would do as Judge Gastinel
did when he occupied the seat, and call for q
couple of them daily and give them thirty
days in the Workhouse, in few days the
nuisance would abate and the court proceed
ings would 60 brayely On.

POLITICAL TALK.
The acton of the House yesterday on
TIE ELECTION RIII

The ACTON of the House yesterday on
THE ELECTION BILL
occasioned considerable surprise, and created
considerable com ment, because it was gener-
ally understood and believed that the Con-
servatives had decided to stand by the House
bill, and force the Senate to accept it without
a conference committee. The House. 1t is
true. returned the Hous Sc bill to the Senate,
but they returned it as an amendment to the
Senate bill, and this action makes conference
committee necessary. Indeed, the Oonserva-
tives have agreed to conference committee,
and their action yesterday was in accordance
with an agreement entered into by the Repub
ican and Conservative caucuses.
The general impression is that the Con-
servatives have lost their hold. and that the
Republicans will out-general them, and that
an election bill with returning board will be
the result
Outside of the Election bill there were no
matters
OF PUBLIC INTEREST
discussed yesterday. The various committees
of the House and Senate are hard at work,
but their proceedings do not seem to interest
the public.

On Tuesday evening next DR.. Won Bulow,
the renowned pianist, who has created such q
furore Of musical enthusiasm in every city he
he's thus far visited, will appear for the first
time in New Orleans, at Grunewald Hall. Won
Bulow's reputation is literally worldwide
one, and as an exponent OF the classical COM
posers he is acknowledged by the ablest
critics of Europe and this country to be with
out rival, if, perhaps, we except the immor-
til List The most critical audiences of
Europe and the States have fairly gone into
raptures over Won Bulow's playing, end de-
clared it to be Incompatible; and it can not.
therefore, be doubted that the cultivated and
musical people Of this city are all excitement
for the coming concerts, and will flock as
they have in other cities to hear and applaud
him. Sale Of seats will open tomorrow at
Flies music store; also, at Grunewald's.

The committee meets again this afternoon.

Washington administration correspondent
says that Postmaster General Jewell will aid
the House Post Office Committee in unearth-
ing the fraud and corruption in his depart
ment, in the interest of the public service.
This is very kind on the part of Mr.. Jewell.
But at the same time it is magnificent and
sublime piece of impudence Mr.. Jewell has
been in Office nearly two years, and instead of
exposing the fraud in his department he has
covered it up. He has kept in the service
men VIGOROUSLY untitled for their places, and
at the same time caused himself to be adver-
tised in the newspapers as red-hot reformer
and foe to evil-doipg. The country is be-
ginning to find out that Mr.. Jewell is good
deal of a Baltimore Gazette.
