Don't be deceived by the weather
This is February, we know it because the

go. The bird-fancier was out on Canal
street Friday morning with beautiful col
lection of his feathered pets.
-. Well, you can 60 out driving now, if
you like; the roads are all right again. Not
dusty, you know, but not muddy either.
-. There will be grand mass meeting
of citizens in Carrollton on Sunday at 3
o'clock, for the purpose Of indorsing the pro-
posed extension Of the Crescent City Railroad
Company. The meeting promises to be a
large one.
49,. Judge Adams yesterday sentenced
man named B. Meyers to the Parish Prison
for ten days for contempt Of court, in default
of $40 fine, for refusing to prosecute party
who had stolen twelve yards of lace from him,
and subsequently released him upon his pay
ing one-half the fine. H IS police judge the
power of sending party to Jail for that
length of time for a contempt Of court?
-. We might as well give it up. There is
to be no cold weather. The air is as balmy as
June, and the sky as blue and capricious as
April Many of the forest trees have put on
their lovely spring garniture already, and the
ladies who follow natures fashions closely,
will soon throw aside their winter robes for
more spring like and cooler costumes.
=. Burch, the Radical ebony Senator,
wants an act passed compelling all the chill
dren in the State to go to school. Burch is
rough on the children, many of whom could
not be induced to enter the public schools, as
at present managed. An act providing for q
little less birch in the schools and little less
Burch in the Senate would BE- better than the
compulsory bill.
-. The Chief Engineer of the Louisiana
Levee Company, G. W. R. Bayleys who draws
the handsome salary Of $4,000 pes annum
from that grinding monopoly, voted the other
day in the Legislature to annul the chaEter Of
that other monopoly, the Louisiana State
Lottery Company. Evidently Mr.. BayleS
thinks one monopoly is enough in New Or
leans, and naturally favors the one fxomwhich
he draws his salary.
As an interesting incident in connec.
lion with the coming anniversary Of the Fire
Department, Mr.. Whitley Cornwell presented
to Mr.. Manuel Reyes, Of No. Is. the frat
parade hat of the present style ever used in
this city. Mr.. Cornwell was one OF the ere
ganizers Of Jackson IS, in 1s45, at which time
the hat had been in his possession three years
as member Of the old Red Rover No. rs,
which has since disbanded. Naturally such
q hat, which has passed through the numerous
parades since then, might present quite a
snai BUS history.
