e 10 Now that the time of year
mas come when man ariseth and
goeth forth to his work cheered by
the gladstone song of birds, and all
nature seems gay when the merry
lark pipes his morning lay as he
arlseth to catch the first glimpse of
old Sol. As the evening shades
draw near the plaintive voice of the
turtle is heard in the land. We
pause in our rambles, having sought
and found a shady nook, and reclin-
ing at the foot of a stately oak, our
thoughts reverting from one of OAR
wins lectures to the Louisiana Rev
enue law, we fell into reverie from
which we are awakened by some
thing cold like crawling over our
neck, and that something we are
not slow in realizing to be a large
snake of the moccasin VARIETY
Such an experience as the above fell
to our lot not long since, and the
way we got up and "dusted" would
have taken all the variety out of the
present exodusting sons of Ham.

The Dance House Ordinance.

In our pages to-day will be found the ordi-
nance declaring the dance houses nulsances,
and providing for the closing of those estab-
lisbments. They will not be closed immedi-
ately, as their city licenses do not expire un-
til the 18th inst, and only at that date will
the ordinance go into effect. Some are in
clined to doubt the expediency of adopting
such an ordinance, declaring that the keepers
of the hurdy houses will only have to move
their establishments a few hundred Yards to
be beyond the city limits, in order to conduct
their business free from the supervision Of
the city officers, whose watchful eyes have
kept a close watch on those places ever since
they were first opened in Butte. Placed thus
beyond the control of our city policemen, it
is feared the hurdy houses, which as lately
conducted cannot be considered as either dis
orderly or dangerous to the public peace,
will become real resorts of crime, something
like the Barba-y Coast of San Francisco.
But there is no real foundation for such ap-
prehensions. As soon as the territorial leg.
islature convenes, a few months hence, a law
will be passed abolishing the whole hurdy
house business, and making the keeping of a
dancing saloon a misdemeanor punishable
with a heavy fine and imprisonment for
good long term. That such a law will b.
passed is announced by those who profess tt
be well Informed in the premises, and with
probability of that nature facing them it il
not likely that the dancing saloon keeper
will incur the expense of fitting VI their es
Establishments beyond the city limits for tn
sake of conducting for three or four month
a business that pays none too we'll even unde
the most favorable circumstances The ord
nance as published to-day will most likel
cause the permanent closing Of the Butt
hurdy houses.

vice Bulletins.

The coolest yesterday was 63 and
the warmest 20 degrees, the winds
coming from the north, the east and
the northeast. The rainfall of yester-
day and the day previous measured
about an inch and a half. At sunrise
this morning the wind came straight
from the north, 6 miles an hour, and
the mercury recorded 66 degrees.
Rain fell at Vicksburg this morning
and last night, but no rain is likely
to-day in any part of the country ex-
cept in the east gulf, the south At
lantic and the middle states. The
winds here will probably shift to a
s~outherly direction, and warmer
weather is foreshadowed.
