Some time ago the wife Of aIaj.-Gen. c., Of
the United States Regular Army, told Gen.
P1easonton that one Of her grandchildren, q
little boy about IS months old, had from his
neither crawl nor walk. and was apparently SO
enfeebled In them that she began to fear the
child was permanently paralyzed. She there
fore requested the child's mother to send him
with his two young sisters to play in the entry
Of the second story Of her house, where she had
equal proportions. This was done, and IN d few
days Mrs. C. stated that the child manifested
great improvement in the strength OF Its limbs,
having learned to climb by chair, to crawl, aud
to walk, and was as promising child as any one
is likely to wish.

Yesterday was "April Fools day."
sacred to the memory OF all ounces,
and, as has been the custom from time
immemorial, the reporters Of the city
prepared to "fool," astonish and de-
light our people with some grand hoax.
TO make this more telling than ever,
to give 1t q greater veri-similitude, the
reporters of all the papers determined
to take the same subject, and thus
effectually and certainly deceive the
credulous and stupid public.
After long elaboration the somewhat
played out telephone was chosen as the
proper subject for hoax and, laying
their heads together, these reporters
concocted a story which they thought
would take everybody in, simulta-
neously turned it loose upon the public
and waited to count their victims.
But, alasI all tricks are liable to fall,
and a pretty large failure the annual
journalistic hoax Of 1877 proved; In fact,
the only persons made fools Of were
the reporters themselves, by the lamen-
table exhibition they made Of their
ignorance.
"The performance to-day" says the
Picay,lne, who, Notwithstanding her
venerable age. joined heartily in the
joke with the other youngsters, "will
begin playing in New York at 10 M,
but the concert will not be heard here
until about 10 p. m, owing to the
difference Of time
Alas What hoax For the benefit
or these reporters we would like to state
that - m. In New York Is not Is p. m.
In New Orleans, but that it Is exactly
the reverse. In their zeal and ignorance
these hoaxers overturned all the laws OF
nature, made the sun rise In the west
and set in the east, to the no little
amusement Of the small boys about
town who, knowing something Of geog-
raphy, which the reporters apparently
did not, laughed heartily at this singu-
larly gauzy and transparent hoax.
And il the persons hoaxed and fooled
on this occasion are not the reporters
themselves, we are nightly mistaken.
The public is entitled to good laugh at
their expense.

The bill incorporating the Barataria
Ship Canal comes up in the Senate to-
day. and we hope will be promptly

lands as, In the construction OF the

now practically worthless, being UNI
salable ct ten cents per acre. Were
they reclaimed by dykes and levees,
SUCH as this company propose to
build in constructing their canal, they
will add immensely to the wealth OF the
State.

assurances that If they obtain the legis-
lation they are asking for from Louisi-
ana and from Congress, they will be
able to raise all the funds requisite In
