Yesterday afternoon, as Hae1heye re-
porter was leisurely sauntering along Jetter-
son street, his attention, was attracted to
crowd Of gentlemen who were gathered
around Frank Abbott, mouths agape, ana
out for their benefit, about two trained pick
erel he saw while soiourning at Clear Lake.
The boys say he is chock full OF stories OF the
strange sights he saw while at the lake, and
zzrhen be reeed off the one about the pickerel
they fairly collapsed and called upon him e
produce corroborative evidence Frank said
he could, but he didn't. He asserted, how
ever, with great earnestness, that he was an
witness to the performance OF the tinny
pets. as were number Of his shorthand
and short-haired friends. Our reporter was
requested to take down the story as told In
Franks original and truthful style, and here
1t Is:
Living at Clear Lake is family who have
little girl who takes daily rides on the lake
in small skiff drawn by two pickerel. They
are regularly harnessed, and by means OF
lines she IS enabled to g guide them In J.. any
feet in length weigh between seven and eight
pounds each and are very powerful. Ihe
rapidity with which they skim through the
water with the boat and its precious cargo Is
said to exceed in swiftness the fastest sail |.
boat that has been placed on the lake, and 1t
is proposed to send for Hanlan and Ross, the
champion sculers, and match the fish against
them in four mile race When the girl has
tired of riding she drives the plckerei to
| boat house, where they are embarrassed,
taken into a commodious glass aquarium,
made expressly for them, and fed: When she
visits the tank to harness them for a ride the
pickerel jump almost into her arms, so glad
apparently, are they to see her. The young
miss has been offered $1,000 for her strange
team, but no money would induce her to part

TO THE PUBLIC.
DEPARTMENT OF IMPROVEMENTS, ]
Room No. 16. City Hall,
New Orleans, July 81, 1873. ]


As 1t becomes necessary for the preservation
of the health of the city at this season of the
year, that every possible effort should be made
towards keeping the public avenues. cutters
and alleys clean and free from all offensive
matter, hereby respectfully call upon the pub
lie to assist the authorities by complying with
the following requests, to wit:
/. Such residents RS have yard hydrants are
requested to permit same to run @ sufficient
time to wash away rubbish, filth, ETC., and to
render the street cutters fresh and clean. This
step becomes necessary as many OF the cross
streets, or streets parallel with the river, are
without water plugs, and the difficulty hereto
fore experienced In flushing these cutters be-
ing mainly due to defective drainage and the
want OF water.
2. Residents will please place. or instruct
their servants to place, the garbage In boxes In
front of their dwellings before O'Clock q. M,
prior to the city carts making their rounds. A
strict adherence to this plan will remove, in
great measure, the cause of the great number Of
com plants concerning the non-removal Of
garbage.
Therefore earnestly request all good citizens
to aid the authorities in keeping the streets
and cutters clean and healthy. and In assisting
! to remove any waste or offensive scattering
promptly.
If a proper spirit Ia manifested by the public
| In this respect the workings OF this department
will be greatly facilitated, and much Of the

at Plevna, held earthworks which
from their strength were almost
unassailable; in these works they
had lived, as it were, in holes, and
had shot out of them. On the other
hand, wherever the circumstances
had been reversed and they had
become the. assailants, they had
failed. There had been much
sneerine against the Russian sol
disrs because they had been una
BILE to carry those works against
which they had dashed themselves
on the 18th of September. He
felt certain that the Turks would
never have done that; and on the
memorable occasion whe,i they at
tepted 70 break out of Plevna, al
thong l1kefe were 10000 Turks,
and not more than between 10000
or $4,000 Russians at the point
where that attempt was made,
every body knew how it termina-
ted. He did not wish unduly to
disparage the Turks, but when they
were so extravagantly Landed for
what they had done, it was neces-
sary to take these things into con-
sideration, and not to be led away
by the exaggerated eulogies heaped
upon them. The Turks had every
possible motive TO make them fight
we'll, and yet when they had to at
tack in open ground instead OF
shooting from behind wall they
were obliged to surrender in 9

The New York Observer says

present war in praise of the Turks
as military people and OF their
fighting qualities, but the matter
was set in its true light by Sir
Henry Havelock, member OF the
British Parliament, in a speech re-
Gently to his constituents. He then
said:
"We were experiencing a great
fluctuation of opinion with regard
to the character of the Turks. Not
long ago they excited general dis
gust, but the tide has since turned,
and many people seek to make he

they had conducted what certainly
