A Half Bottle of Champagne Mt tlst
Richelieu.
Yesterday evening, about half-past o'clock,
q well dressed young man arrived in a buggy
with two ladies at Mr.. Richelieu's restaurant and
ordered half bottle If champagne, selecting the
best brand. He came down stairs shortly after
wards with bis companions, with whom he walked
to their home, leaving his buggy at the door Of
the restaurant, telling Dir. Levi that he would
soon return.
After while Mrs. Levi noticed him snsakiDg
along the dark side OF the street. and into his
buggy, and called her husband.
Levi held on to the horse and demanded his two
dollars and half, white the stranger stated that
he never was in Lewis house, and it must be all
q mistake.
mo mistake" said Levi, and grabbed for the
reins, when the man put his hand on his back
pocket, which caused Levi TO run into the house
for an iron bar, while the Champagne Charley
drove off. Young Levi trotted after him shouting
down Damp street, "5top thief he stole the
horse! Police Watch |" He ran down to the
corner OF Poydras, down Poydras to Tchoupi-
toulas street, aud thee the horse gave q long
pull and was soon out Of sight.
For two hours afterwards there Was great tx
element at the Rchelieu over the loss OF that
half bottle of wine, which was not paid for by
that fine gent with the red moustache, whom
Levi will be able TO nentify again if he should
return for another half bottle.

Palais Royal.

Among the many changes to take place coon
on the grand boulevard none will be more strik-
ing and more indicative of the good time to come
than the swsying TO the breeze the banners of the
grand 'Palais Royal" Our enterprising friend
Levy, who has for SO many years been the popu-
Jar proprietor Of the dollar store, No. 1877 Canal
street, seems to have had his faith shaken in re-
publican Institutions and ideas, and is deter
mined, with enc fell swoop, to obliterate the
name of dollar store forever. He is making prep
arations for the opening Of this elegant and gor-
geous establishment, and nothing will be spared
in making it the most attractive place in the
Southern country. Levy's dollar store is known
throughout the whole South, and as it has been
known for its promptness in filling orders and
the polite attention Of the clerks, and the place to
get everything, 80 will the Palais Royal grow
into popular favor, for we will see in the large
and gilded sigus that are to adorn the building
evidences of q new era, a prosperity which we
have longed for but never expected until the
present time,

and besides 10 not fixing any date for the trial OF
the Injunction. Elsewhere 1t Is thought that
Judge Monroe
HAD NO ALTERNATIVE
to adopt in the matter, Mr.. McCaffrey having filed
the proper affidavit and furnished the requisite
bond, fixed BY Judge Monroe Ut 5000.
The second event has attracted considerable
attention, especially the remarks OF Col. Denis,
uttered In giving the casting vote in favor Of To-
bling the resolution.
Those who share the views OF the acting
Mayor say he might have gone much further in
his remarks, and maintained, as an excellent
ground agar 81 the appointment Of the proposed
committee, that IL would be an interminable bust
ness H. at every whispering or inuendo against the
city administration, q committee had to be ap-
pointed to investigate its affairs. That il there
are any charges OF INSTRUMENTATION to be made
they should be made boldly by those who enter
tain the opinion that there has been wrong doing
at the City Hall. Indeed, that the public ought
to know IT,. Considerable stress ia laid also on
the proposition to give the Property Holders and
Taxpayers Union 4 representation of five,
amounting to majority OF the committee, when
that union excludes from Its membership all
owners or representatives OF bonded interest,
State or city, which, OF course. would exclude Oil
our baBk and insurance company officers, not to
speak OF other important corporations and nearly
all OF our large capitalists, who pay heavy taxes
annually.
1t is the general opinion that this subject s not
settled, ami will yet give rise to lively discussions

THE ARMY OF TENNESSEE.

Last evening, at Mechanics Institute. the men,
bers OF the Army Of Tennessee Association met,
Col. James Lingan in the chair.
Mr.. John 9. GoldiDg being absent, Capt. N. T.
N. Robinson acted as secretary.
The principal business before the Association
WAS the consideration Of the report OF the COM
mittee on membership.
All the app icatiJns previously made had been
acted upon. The report was adopted and the
following members eleotedz
Henry Andry, Joseph A. Duval, John Pember-
ton, Jr, l.. J. Freemore, Henry Gould. VIM.

The attention Of the association was then called
by member to q destitute soldier, and the presi-
dent requested that an application should be
made to the executive committee, which would
meet it with prompt attention. The president
took occasion to remark that the executive COM
mittee would be glad to receive at any time ap-
pcations from deserving ex-members OF the
Army OF Tennessee; that it was the desire and
and efficient instrument of charity toward the
disabled or INDECENT who properly came within
the scope OF its minis,ratiops.
The attention OF the finance committee was
called to large accumulation OF unpaid dues
1t was explained that the necessary delay in the
committee On membership had left many per
Sons in doubt as to their election, and hence they
had not settled: The committee was instructed
to push the collection with energy, and notify the
members to come forward with their initiation
fees and monthly dues, to the end OF enabling
the association to carry out it's charitable pur-
poses. -,
The meeting then adjourned until Tuesday
evening, the 14th OF August next, when the
further report Of the executive committee will
