service during the war of the rebellion.
A number of bills in favor of individual
States for reimbursement for expenses

BUNKO,
The Matter Before the Courts.
The Accused in the Garrett Case
Fails to Put in an
Appearance.

Last evening, before Judge Evans, the case
of the State VS.. Edward De Lematre, charged
by Mr.. R. c. Garrett, of Marshall, Texas,
with robbing him of S1l75, by fraudulent
gambling. at a game known as bunkc, was
called up. De Lematre, when his name was
called, failed to put in an appearance. Judge
Bonner, counsel for Mr.. Garrett, asked the
court who was on De Lematre's bonds.
Judge Evans answered that the bond had
been given by Mr.. Thomas O'Brien, an un-
dertaker, doing business at the corner OF
Magazine and Delord streets. Judge Bonner
then asked that the bond be forfeited. The
court said that it was customary to notify the
bondsman to produce the prisoner, and then
if he failed to do it, the court would declare
the bonds forfeited. Judge Evans stated that
he was anxious that the party should be
brought before the court. and asked the clerk
to telegraph to all stations to arrest him on
sight, and to say in the dispatch that he
would give $50 for his apprehension. The
case went over.

....A popular man on Friday was be who
owned double-sized umbrella.
-. Don't you think the New Orleans Pa
cifc r .ilroad is about all right now?
-. Friday was most unpleasant day,
especially for the ladies, and was not alto
gether unattended by accidents. Some ladies
there were who were compelled to visit Canal
street for shopping and other purposes;
while all were seriously inconvenienced by
the wet weather, one lady, popular Prytania
street belle, Miss l. H., was so unfortunate
as to slip on the damp pavement and fall,
barely saving herself from being immersed in
the flowing water of the gutter. Happily
some gallant friend near by assisted the lady
to rise, and escorted her safely to the car.
Although her injuries are not serious it is
feared she will be confined to her home fol
several days. We tender our sincere sympa
thies to the unfortunate young lady.

New Kind of Carriage Wheels.

A new principle in the construction Of
carriage wheels has been brought To
notice by an English inventor-every
part Of the same consisting Of wrought
iron. with the exception Of the tire.
which IS formed II the best cast steel
The method Of fastening the spokes--
which are hollow-both in the rim and
in the boss. j. such. il is claimed. as to
insure safety BY the simplest means
The tire is So constructed us to protect
the other parts Of the wheel when il
runs against the curbstone. or comes in
contact with another vehicle. Neither
in putting on the tire, nor indeed in any
portion Of the work, is single bolt or
nail employed, the spokes being slipped
into their places in the rim and boss,
and afterwards locked up by a nut,
while the tire is firmly inserted into
groove in the rim. The strength of the
axletrec is increased atthe points where
il is most liable 10 give way, and the
boss is made 10 accommodate about
four times the usual quantity of oil for
lubricating purposes. Although made
Of iron and steel, the wheel is not more
than two or three pounds heavier than
the ordinary kind.
