OFFICE CRESCENT OITY RAILRoAp COMPANY
New Orleans. January 49, 1879. J
To the Honorable Mayor and Administrators
Of the City OF New Orleansi
Gentlemen-I propose for settlement Of the
negotiations now pending between the Cres-
orable body. with reference to the extension
OF the company's lines from Joseph street to
Carrollton, the following, viz
That the City Council shall repeal such
provisions OF ordinance No. 3243, Administra-
ton Series, as relate to the non-completion OF
and limiting the time for the completion Of the
lines to Carrollton.
In consideration Of which the company to
bind itself to pay the taxes OF 1878 and to
waive exemption TO future taxation, from
which the company Is now exempt by con-
tract.
The further consideration that the company
shall assume 80 much OF the city'S liability
for repairs to bridges from Louisiana Avenue
to Canal street as are comprised within and
between the company's tracks, and pay to the
city the sum OF $1,000 per annum, to be applied
by the city to the repairs OF the bridges out
side OF the company's tracks.
The company, In addition. to bind Itself to
run It's cars to the present terminus City
Park as at present, and to Carrollton when ft
shall become profitable to do so.
It Is exceedingly doubtful II the renewal Of
the privileges Of this ordinance extending the
lines Of this company will ever be worth the
considerations herein proposed to you by me;
and IL the considerations are not accepted,
propose that the right OF way for all this ex-
tended line OF road shall revert to the city UNI
der section 10 OF the ordinance under which
the grant was made, or to remove the tracks
and cease running the cars beyond Louisiana
Avenue, as at present.
The following ordinance Is respectfully sub
mitted for your adoption:

The Beautiful Children.

A child three years old was
dying Of scarlet fever. She
fingered long, and the last day
of her life she was unconscious
for hours. Many times her
mother tried to rouse her, but
in vain. She seemed to be sink
ing away in death without a to-
ken of recognition.
Suddenly she opened her eyes
wide, lifted her head, and look
cd around the room as though
filled with wonder and delight.
She clapped her hands and cried
eagerly to her mother:
"Oh, mamma, sec the beau
tiful children!"
Her mother said. "where?"
"Oh, all aroundl" she replied;
and she turned her head as
though she saw them in every
direction. No written words
can describe the rapture of her
look and voice.
"They are coming, they are
coming, they are close to mel"
she said in a transport Of JOY.
She put mp both hands, laugh
ing out with that gleeful, ring
ing sound peculiar to little chill
dren, and then she died.

Scribner's Monthly.

DIR. Holland has stirred up O
hornets, nest by an editorial in
the last Scribner's on Southern
civilization" which is full of
gross exaggerations of the law
lessness in that section of the
country, eliminating in the wild
assertion that things are in q
worse way down there than a.
mong the Italian wilds where
banditti still flourish. All the
papers are taking their turns in
replying TO the doctors charges,
and the Atlanta Constitution
makes out q very strong case
for Georgia. To the charge
that murder after murder is
perpetrated in high life with the
coolest blood and nobody is ar
rested for it and nothiDgis done
about it" it opposes the fact that,
although several Of the men who
committed the last six murders
in its city have all the advanta-
ges of money and position, ev-
cry one was arrested, one is un-
der sentence Of death, two to
for life, and the
are awaiting trial. To
the further charge that "any
man may commit a murder
there, and, if he he man in
high life, and do it for personal
reasons, and have a white skin,
with a great certainty that no
one connected with the law will
take notice OF his crime" tho
Constitution replies by quoting
the statement Of the solicitor
general of the Atlanta circuit
that not single white man es-
capped, while the negeocs had
nearly always got off, and by
recalling attention to the fact
that two white men had lately
been hung in Georgia for the
killing of negroes. Finally the
Atlanta paper retorts that, if
hey do have sharp personal
down south, in which
one man shoots another, "they

blooded, sneak-thief murders

Ex-Governor Coke, U.

Ex-Governor Coke, U. S.
Senator from Texas, tells the
following Of the lobbyists that
infest Washington: 81 never
saw such a town as Washing
ton. When | came here to at
tend the special session of the
Senate | purposely went to a
quiet place, gave orders if any
body called TO have their cards
sent up to my room, and that
the outside door should always
be kept closed, which would
compel callers to ring. Well,
would you believe it, a few
nights ago l was sitting in my
room, when in rushed two gem
tlemen, unannounced. Sal d
one Of them: Governor Coke, l
believe. How do you do, Gov
ernor Coke?' Their manner dis
concerted me a little, but | an
swcred as pleasantly as [ could:
Yes, l am Governor Coke;
but how in the world did you
get in my room?' They answer
ed cheerful.y: oh! the lower
door was open, and we just
walked right up | then told
them that it would please me if
they would go down stairs, ring
the bell and send up their cards
in the regular way. They both
went down stairs and did as l
told them, and then / sent them
word that / was not in.

Unhappy Capitalists.

Sometimes it is not an agree.
liable thing to be a capitalist
Particularly so in Great Britain
In that country shareholders il
banking institutions are unlim.
itedly responsible. As there is
no limit to what they may make
in their investments the law says
there shall be no limit to the a.
mount they may lose from mis-
management, misfortune or spec
ulation. In the case of the City
lof Glasgow Bank, for every
e100 shares the shareholders
have already paid $500 in as
sessments to satisfy creditors,
and quite recently came a call
for 60, ,250 more assessed to each
share, making altogether an as
sessment of $27.50 on each dol
lar of stock. In a large majori-
ty of cases this involyesthe stock
holders in that miserably man
aged concern in entire ruin. The
liability extends even to the pri-
.vate property of. any one who
holds shares as Trustee. A gen
tleman writes to the London
Times that at the request of a
dying friend he consented to act
as executor under his will, which
expressly freed him from all per-
sonal responsibilities. The in
vestments were continued pre-
cise1y as the testator left them.
The executor never held the
shares in any other capacity than
as trustee under the will, the
legatees drawing their dividends
directly from the bank. But by
a late decision of the House of
Lords the trustee is held person
ally liable for the debts of the
bank, and in this particular case
the unfortunate executor of the
will of a deceased friend finds |
himself, at the age of three-score
and ten, stripped of every far
thing he possesses. So it would
seem that the punishment of the
stockholders is greater
even than that inflicted upon the
guilty managers Of the concern.
The latter get, it is true, few
of Imprisonment; but an
ticipating the result of their vii
lainy, it Is quite probable that
they have salted down sufficient
to make them pecuniarily COM
'ortable through the remainder
IF their miserable lives. The rul-
ng of the House of Lords may
De just, but it is severe in its ap-
1lication to this and similar cas-
-.

A merchant, sitting in his Of
fee ipSouth street, New York,
recently received an answer TO
his dispatch sent to Shanghai,
six hours previously. Thirty
thousand miles in six hours is
good time, even for the tele-
graph. The charge to Shang-
hal is $3.50 per word; to Yoke
hama, $3.05; but the code, or

Neal Dow, the great temper

Neal Dow, the great temper
ance reformer Of Maine, had a
narrow escape the other day.
For a whole generation he has
been regarded as . consistent
teetotaler. But a tramp solemn
ly swore that he and Neal Dow
stood at the same counter and
imbibed brandy and water.
Things looked a little serious
for a while, and the temperance
folk in that far-off REGION felt
that even the greatest OF us will
once in a while have fall. The
tramp, however, on the cross
examination explained that he
drank the brandy and Neal
Dow the water, and the whole
State, of Maine brcathed freely
once more.
