A RECKLESS MAN.

While a nurse girl was recently
drawing a babe along Alfred
street she was approached by a
queer-looking old chap, whose
mouth was working as if he want
ed to bite some body. He halted
the cab, chuckled to the child, and
finally said to the nurse:
Il used to be just such a little
angel myself. Dear me, but how
I want to kiss him
But you can't" replied the
girl.
Il didn't except to for nothing
of. course" no continued, feeling
in his pocket. Here twenty-five
cents, young miss. | used tc
have to pay half a dollar for kiss
ing 'em, but babies are down now
long with everything else"
She looked around, took the
money, told him to wipe off his
mouth, and he gave the child 6
smack which sounded like a dish
pan starting for down cellar. Al
old lady came around the corner
as he Strengthened up, and in res
ponse to the'sharp look she CAV,
him the the old man explained.
Been kissing the baby-swee
boney-nicern ice-cream-pait
two shilling"
What ?" she demanded.
He again explained.
well you must have lots d
money or else you're a lunatic !
she growled. PAY two shilling
to kiss a little young'un like tina
when YOU might have kissed m
whole family and the dog to boo
for fifteen cents! No wonde
you have TO wear old clothes p

TO 'sCsLYPSO" -
UPON LEARNING OF THE DEATH OF
HER PET RABBIT.

Poor little ROBBINS dead!
Snatch'd by Deaths cruel hand
From his loving mistress,
Into the shadow-land.
Pulseless the little heart
Which throbbed but for thee;
Fix'd forever those eyes
Lie in deaths lethargy.
How touching the tribute!
Oh, most beauteons maid
To his departed worth,
By thy gentle tears paid.
LET the thoughtless deride
Those tears passionate flow
I'm their suffusion thoult
Find surcease tor sorrow.
Could an angel wand'rer
Have caught a tear trembling
Like a pearl, on thy check
Brought it on snowy wing
To that bright realm Of Love,
She'd hung the precious gen.
An off'ring rich and rare
On Pity's'diadem.

PUBLIC LANDS.

SiNNt WY
President Hayes, dated on the
Goth February 1879, in pursu'
ance Of an act of Congress ap-
proved June 22nd 1876 ;" all
United States vacant lands, lying
and situated in this and other
adjoining parishes, will be offer
ed for sale, at public auction at
the Land Office in the City OF
New Orleans. The Offering and
sale will be kept open during two
weeks commencing on Monday
the 26th day Of May 1879. No
land will be sold at a less price
than one dollar and twenty five
cents per acre and no private
entry of any the lands Offered"
will he admitted until the day
after the close Of the public
Offering.
We infer from the wording of
said proclamation and other in
formation, on the subject without,
reference to the act of Congress Of
jane 22nd 1876, which we have
not had the advant age, as yet to
see, that lands which have been
previously entered, under the pre-
cmption or homestead laws, al
though such entries may not have
been completed, will not be offered
flor sale. We have heard it said
that, even where homestead en-.
tries had been cancelled the land
( or lands, previously covered by
such cancelleI entries would no
be offered for sale.
: The attention Of our population
is called to this proclamation an(
particularly, those living on pub
lie lands, as there are a few small
farmers IN THAT category in thi
: parish.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Attention was called By MIR, Cox, Of New
York,to a petition presented by Mr.. McCsld, OF
Iowa, lss. Saturday, aid printed IN yesterday
Record, stating that the longer continuance OF
the session ia lrsught with danger to peace, aud
with disaster to Gnaneial, commercial and other
interests of the country that the measures 10;
augursted by Congress threaten revolution, ana
strike doWo all safe guards to Tree and unln'
Inundated ballot, and that this Improbable SEES
sion should he speedily terminated. Mr. Cox
characterized the petition rs an insult to Con
gress, and said tina. BIO had objected to 1t at
Tue tlWsi auo 'iiat tItle'oio IL ouo"" NV "N'S
been printed.
A long discussion ensued.
mr. Cox iusistiog that that thu pstlLlon
should b, struck out of the RECORD; and,
MIR. Conecr, IF Mich, taking the ground
that that wCu'd be improper. ADD that the only
proper remedy was an expunpitg Of the petit
ton by tho action Of tue House, aud, 10 order
10 have that action. he icsisted that The petit
ton should be read so that be could know
what he Was voting on.
The Speaker after quoliog the prteeden's
in support Of bis position stated that tho
House hsd control over the Record as much as
it had over the journal. apd that he
woulj therefore, lubmt the question to
the House. He i1tiuated that If he had bis
own will about it ho would let the petition stay
10 the Record for what it is worth. 1t the OBJ
lection to the petition had been noted By the
reporter and its,rtod in the report tho petition
oonId not have been printed in tho faco OF that
objection. Therefore the correction OF the
Record by inserting the objection wonld ntces
sariy exclude the petition.
Finally the question Wa5 submitted as TO
whether the Record should be corrected by
