Yesterday at half-past o'clock p. M, on the
Rampant and Dauphine street line Of the New
Orleans City Railroad Company, young puppy
of low breed, wearing the semblance of man,
drove lady from the cars by succession of
scurrilous and insulting remarks. We have the
authority Of the lady for the statement. No
gentleman was present or else the puppy would
have found easy and sudden egress out Of one of
the windows. Should the fellow now desire to
develop himself he will meet with the chastise-
ment that he richly deserves and which he ought
to have received on the spot.

AND STILL THEY COME.

1t would seem that the turtles of our country
are determined to make the coming meeting Of
the Louisiana Jockey Club a success. From
Texas to Kentucky the horsemen have turned
out in force with fine strings of runners, and the
old "Creole" course will doubtless be enlivened
with spirited contests and close battles Yester-
day there arrived from Washington City Col O.
Peine's stable composed Of those well known
racers Russ Butler, Kilburn, Blondel and two
others. Already the excitement has extended
beyond the limits Of the sporting fraternity, and
events are laid on favorites before even the en-
tries are closed.

FINE CAR.-Yesterday morning the horse
railroad put new style car on tine Spring
street route. 1t was built at the shop of the
company on Spring street, and reflects great
credit upon tie workmen engaged upon it, 1t
is about the same size as the cars now in use
by the company, but has many improvements
on the old ones. The rear of the car is made
whole with sliding windows and slat blinds
and large mirror near the top. monitor
top surmounts the car, thus adding to its beauty
and completeness of ventilation. The inside of
the car is finished in white wood ash and bird s
eye maple, and the uphostering is very fine.
The bulls eye in the front is provided with a
reflector, and the rails on the dashboard and
on the entrance end of the car are handsomely
silver plated. The outside of the car is SPLEEN
didly painted in several colors, the most promi-
nent of which is the fine shade Of red which
runs along the center of the sides, on which
the words Grand Trunk Depot" in gold leaf,
are decidedly conspicuous. The springs of the

THE NEW DENTURE 1t has been a matter
of just complaint for long time that so little
advance has been made by dentists in materials
for artificial dentures. We still see the same
stilted uniformity in arrangement of teeth, the
same puffed out lips the same depression
where the eye teeth are extracted, the same
horse shoe contour of the arrangement OF the
crowns of the teeth-all SO unlike nature--that
we saw twenty five years ago. Serious objections
obtain too to the materials used as bases. 1t
will be matter Of great ieterest to many to
learn that these defects in dentures have now
been corrected, and that in this city DR.. j. NJ
Strout has brought into use, for the first time
10 this state, an unexceptionable base which
permits the preservation of the natural con-
tour of the face, which will last lifetime, and
which is capable of being so worked that the
teeth which it holds may be an exact mita ton
of the natural teeth. This IS the platina base,
struck up on metal dies, the gum and teeth all
in one solid bock-a denture which surpasses
all others in material, strength, and ease Of
use, which leaves no vacuum between block
and plate, which is easily cleaned, which does
not infame the mucous membrane, and which
exactly initiates the ruge of the palate thus
affording great aid to articulation.

FATAL ACCIDENT Yesterday morning about
IL o'clock, Mr.. Fabans, slater in the EN-
ploy of Loring and CrGssmap, fell from the
roof of the Savings Bank block TO the street,
and was instantly killed. just how the acc
dent happened is not exactly known. Mr..
Crossman says DO, one on the building saw him
when he fell, and he thinks be tripped his foot
and lost his balance. He was passing
from the front to the rear of the building at the
time and fell from the high staging on the end,
distance of about sixty feet. young man
who was passing at the time says that be was
leaning against lime cask and the CASH gave
away and he fell over backward and struck on
the lower stage in going down. His head was
completely crushed by the fall. He was about
40 years of age and leaves life and four SIN all
children. Mr. Fassett, the architect, at once
drew up subscription paper to RAISE money
for his ia nily. For fear that the paper NAV
not reach all who wish to help the afflicted
family, Mr.. Fassett requests those who wish TO
subscribe to leave their names at this office.
Mr.. Fabans was steady, industrious man and
is well spoken Of by all who knew him.

LOAN AND BUILDING AssocIATIoN-Seve
buildng Loan associations have been formed o.
late in different towns in Massachusetts, and il
would seem that similar associations would be
profitable in this state. Through the efforts of
parties in this city and other places, a law was
passed at the last Legislature authorizing thu
FORMATION of such organizations in this state
The plan has been very successful in Philsde-
phis, where it has been in operation for over
twenty five years, in which time 10000 houses
have been secured to persons of moderate cir
cumsiauces, who live in their own houses. and
instead OF paying rent, pay the same amount
into the fund monthly. This accumulates, and
finally their house is paid for, whence if they
had paid rent instead they would never have
been any better OF by their pay ments. There
is some talk Of forming an organization in this
city this season. Those who are Interested 10
the project can obtain all necessary information
of Mr.. John T. Ii ull, at the City Building.
