AT THE SPANISH FORT.

Ever since morning yesterday the depot OF
the Spanish Fort Railroad was tastefuly
adorned with flags, inviting the good people
Of New Orleans to join In the excursion and
grand concert for the benefit OF the orphaned
children OF the late Gen. j B. Hood During
the earlier part of the afternoon the weather
was so bad hat but few ventured out, but later
on, the skiey frightening up little, crowds
gathered In the Spanish Fort cars, anxious
to take the pleasant ride, hear the harm onious
concert and pay a debt of love aud devotion
To the memory Of one Of the heroes OF the
Confederaey.
The scene at the Spanish Fort after6 o'clock
was most brilliant. All our best people had
braved the sultry weather to show their good
will and pay their extra car fare for the latid-
able object in view.
The concert, as usual, was composed of the
finest selections from the masters admirably
executed, and never was work OF charity
more blessed In he that gave and him VINO re-
ceved
vi all the places where refreshments we're
sold, the pavilion where Mrs. Hugo Redwltz
holds forth WAS the most frcq,lented. 1t will
be remembered that this patriotic lady had
donated, beforehand, all the proceeds of the
sales Of the day to the Hood fund, and many
man yesterday drank Schooner for the
occasion, who, on ordinary days, would have
hesitated TO touch O pony"
No doubt the results of the day will be
most profitable to the beneficiares, and great
credit is due to Messrs. Schwartz 10 Bro for
having planned and executed this feast of
aud generosity

THAT SEIZURE.
Two Sides of the Same Story.

Two ClueS Oh the same Story.
Mr.. Wenteller of Wenteller " Kicker, In
whose store, on Poydras street quantity OF
unstamped cigars we're found on Monday last
by the internal revenue officers, called at the
DEMOCRAT office yesterday and made the fol-
lowing statement AS to how the cigars came
into his possession:
On the first or second 1t September thls
month"; one OF my customers. by name u rban
Ross, living In vt. james parish called OF III y
store TO make some purchases Of leather and
findings. He stayed In town for two or three
days, ind one day, the day after his arrival. /
think, he brought in a earpet-hag aud he
requested me to put 1t away. ] did not ask
him what the bag contained and / put it be-
hind the counter. La a day or two he returned
and said he was going to purchase sundry
things, which he wanted to place in his car
pet-bag, and he had cigars In 1T and wanted
me to keep them for him. He asked me for
some dry plac to put them, and pointed to
an old trunk under the counter, and he turned
them into It.
| asked him where they were made and
what he paid for them. and he said they cost
w. There were some broken packages, which
ne gave to me. l gave away some Of those
which he had presented to me, aud the rest
remained In my store until the officers came
along and found them. / made this same
statement to Collector Marks at the Custom
House, and ne told ne to 60 and ! WAS not
arraigned before the United States comlnis-
sioner, as has been reported.
Collector Marks seems to have been con-
vinced Of the truthfuIness Of the statement of
Mr.. Wenteller, for without any Investigation
as to the circumstances which led .'the fer
ret in the employ of the special agents to
suspect that the cigars were In Wenteller's
possession, he ordered the deputy collector to
release him.
The matter appears to be worthy of further
examination by the Collector, as the special
agents claim that they have evidence to show
that the firm or some one ID its employ Of
fered the cigars for sale and volunteered to
ship quantity Of them to given point in
voiced as French calf.

THE UNDERWRITERS WOES.
A Ballad Of the Returning Board, Dedica-

/ Drove hsarses. sold collins and SIGH.
And every now and then he buried other men
i And counted on soon becoming RICH
But his ambition riz. SO he tried another biz.

| To run on tho Hayes Returning Board.
ALI knew how he returned and what the fam'
| he earned,
| Yet his people thought he got what wasn't

SO they MI with ono accord sent the undertaken

| That he'd better undertake trip to prison.
But Lawyers g. and G. promised him that for q
matter:
lie knows the rest
How he staid at home. In spite Of all their
clatter.
But lawyers must be paid-at least that's what
they said
And Casanaye must pay, or something worse,
They would take the sheriff there. and they
wouldn't leave hair

Gould he reasonably expect to longer gull

Twas an undertaking grave how his coffin shop

How to keep 1t from the clutches OF Judge
Cullem.
To Washington he'd flee. and he'd ask the
powers that be-
If he alone the bitter cup must SUPP
II he. Of all the four. must be made to foot the
score
II he his little shop must ante up.
With a very frenzied brain-on very lightning
To the Capital his funeral eortege goes,
And at last 1t reached the land OF dot leetle

woes.
But dot leetle Sherman band" didn't seem to
understand
That the funeral was anything Of theirs;
they might give him some relief. In u sympa-
thetie grief
And remember him ut night In their prayers. |
But prayers are avail to stop sherff's sale, |
And money must bs sent to prevent 1t.

And dot leetle sherman band" got up-and |
