GONE HOME.

Yesterday morning, bright and early. from
the Four Seasons and from the Cosmopolitan
arose strains OF martial music, sounding, as
1t were, as an echo Of the previous days pro-
ceedings. It was Cotleld's battery In charge
OF detachment from the Orleans Artillery,
and the Oannoneers OF Donaldson, escorted
by members OF the Louisiana Field Artillery,
maj ching away TO the railroad station to take
the cars for home.
Our military visitors appeared highly
pleased with their reception III New Orleans,
and, no doubt, the friendly feeling between
this city and DonaldsonviIle has received new
strength by this visit. The Donaldsonville
people are evidently not afraid OF New Or
leans and do not shy at shadows. 1t is o
pity that other cities have not as much good
sense; but, as French writer aptly re-
marks, Common sense 10 one Of the rarest
things In the world" We hope that our late
welcome visitors are now safe. sound and
hearty under the shades OF their happy
homes.

THE FALLEN GALLERY,


The falling. Of decayed galleries on Poydras
street y getting 70 be altoe ether too common
We trust that the serious and fatal results Of
q warning to the Administrator OF Improve
ments. A rotten gallery should not Be left till
u tumbles down OF itS own accord.-[City
Item, September Ia.
This ID very much ID II one should say
THE unfortunate neweboy who WINS severely
injured by fall on Natchpz Alley, caused by
slipping On banana peellng, will probably
die, and this should serve as warning to the
CITY ITEM. A banana-peeling should not be
left to fall on the banquette OF its own accord.
The police are required to report. and we be-
lieve do report, to the city authorities when
ever they see dangerous building, shed or
gallery, but It Is hardly possible for even the
police to SEQ or determine just the condition
Of all galleries. A little paint may effoctuaIly
hide defects which would other wise be glaring
enough, or tho defects may be concealed In
the brick-wgrk or woodwork Of houses.
All any rate. the Department Of Improve
ments Ia not, and cannot Be justly held to. be
responsible for falling gallery. The City
Surveyor, when notified, always and ut once
attends to such matters. There ought I'M
questionably to be an Inspector Of buildings,
| whose duty It should Do to supervise the con-
struction Of buildings and SEQ that danger
Qua structures are repaired There are num-
Der OF dilapidated shanties aud buildings
around the city that ought to be pulled down
before they fall down and crush the inmates
and pasgerE.Jy.

Tho Board Of Police Commissioners met
last night, with Mayor Patten In the chair
and o quorum present.
Patrolman M. Allwell wound up not at all
well by being dismissed the force for not
being able to explain to the entire satiafac-
ton of the board why he gave m unneces-
sary call rap, and also, while Off duty In full
uniform, abuse brother officer.
Patrolman Thos. CLARK, who while under
the Influence OF liquor shot and killed Celes-
tine Reilly, was dismissed the force.
Patrolman Butt was caught In the arms OF
Morpheus by his sergeant and gave up one
days pay for his nap.
Patrolman M. Reinny went 80 heavy I'm the
liquor business that he was unable to take
care OF himself, and his plea OF guilty before
the board cost him loss OF two days pay.
PatrOlman j. Mccoy was decoyed into
taking little more of the essence Of corn
than he could stand, just before going to roll
call. His spree cost him just five days pay
Patrolman q. Penuel gave up three days
nay for allowing glass of champagne to 80
to his head.
Pntrolman j. TerriIl rendered his resigna-
ton. which was accepted.
The report Of the property clerk was re-
eeived md ordered to be spread on the min

The communication from the City Council
to the board went over until the next meet

OPENING OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Yesterday the public schools throughout
the city were formally opened and the school
term duly inaugurated. The fact was made
conspicuous by the gladstone voices Of the
school children as they walked backward and
forward in the old familiar way, struggling
under their burdens OF books. The attend
ance compared favorably with that usually
witnessed on such occasions, but did not rep
resent the average roll, owing to the fact that
many families are yet absent from the city.
A few Of the schools felt the influence OF the
recent consolidation, and an accession Of new
doubtless a little hardship will be experienced
the ensuing season, because of the abolition
OF several Of the schools and the consequent
disagreeabeness Of farther travel. On the
whole, however, the schools have opened
under exceptionally good auspices. and there
Is no reason to doubt an eminently success

A BRACE OF MISTAKES.

Some complaint has been made through the
columns Of the CITY Item Of the manner In
which Livaudais street, Fourth District, IL
being filled. The blame IL laid at the door Of
the Department OF improvements, and the
allegation liz that the filling used is garbage.
Error No. is that the Department OF I'm
pruvements ID not doing the particular work
referred to. but the Auxiliary Sanitary Assoc
citation is.
Error No. is that the character Of the fill
ing cannot be garbage or anything approx
mating garbage, for tho Auxiliary Sanitary
Association 10 especially particular on the
point Of filling, and never permits anything
but pure river sand or the scrapings of such
streets as Washington Avenue which may be
called clean dirt. being largely made up Of
sand shell5 aud crushed ballast. The ITEMS
