it betrays rhyming ability in "Buddy" that
Is 'nct to be sneezed at" If "Mirr n" is not
satisfied with the Substitute" it is barely
possible that Buddy" (whom we know to

The levee sewer at the intersection of
Levee aud Fourth streets performs service
that is limited to the accommodations of
water below Sixth street By the construc-
ton of sewer under Commercial, at Fifth,
the Fourth street sewer would assist the
other levee sewers in emptying the custom
house and other ponds, and hasten the
drainage thereof three or four days. But a
small outlay would be involved ia the con-
struction of the sewer across Commercial,
and much surprise is expressed at the pro.
tracted delay in providing what is so mani
testify public need.
The election to-day for two members Of
the board of education, is exciting no ap-
parent interest in any quarter. The ind ca
tons existing that Messrs. Fisher and
Thistlewood will be reelected, seem to he
accepted as entirly satisfactory and as re-
moving all occasion for any effort to get
out large vote As no man can know
what day or night may bring forth, it
would be discreditable delinquency
should the influential friends of the public
schools, fail to appear at the polls. No
risks, in such elections, should be incurred.
Voters who feel any concern for the proper
management of the schools, should act as
if the result were largely dependent as it
really may be, upon their individual votes.
If we were not an execrable shot ~
a shot gun, or if we could discharge lat
kind of a piece with Of absolute ASSURE ice
that the rebound wouldn't cripple
US, or that we wouldn't unintentionally put
the charge into the body of somebody's
young one, or do some O. her terrible thing
because of our awkwardness, we'd certainly
do as other young men of the civ are dc
ing, l. e., we'd incur the risk of being fined
for firing at the eleven wild ducks in lake
Shannessy, that seem to so arrange them
selves that one well directed shot would
kill all of them, for the diabolical pur-
pose only of beguiling the charge from
somebody's shot gun u order that nat
somebody might be punished for shooting
within the corporation. They'll 70 up on
that game, yet.
Mr. GLADDEN., the colored men who To-
Gated in this city last November, to operate
in the interest of colored emigrant aid So
ciety, is still here. He exhibited to US
yesterday, paper, signed wv. o. Lynch,
general agent of the Kansas Freedmen's Re-
lief Association" authorizing him (Mr. g.
to operate among such colored emigrants
from the south as may reach Caro-, with a
two-told purpose. First, to divert as much
as possible into other directions the stream
of emigration setting Kansasward, it
being well knoNl that the labor
market there is already greatly overstocked
and that hundreds Of the immigrants after
arrival there, are subjected to great hard
ships, and ultimately driven by their needs
to other states for employment and Sec
ondly, to prevent, the settlement of large
numbers in Cairo, where as in Kansas the
supply of labor is greatly excess Of the
demand. Mr.. Lynch is regularly or.
dained minister Of the gospel, c1d declares
that the association for which he and Mr.
GLADDEN. are operating has no
political aims, but is actuated solely by the
hope of being of service to the great multi.
tude Of colored people, who, for various
reasons, are leaving the south to seek homes
in the north, A business, notice connec
ted with this service, may be found in an
other column.
No single subject commanded more
attention at the hands of the sensible and
practical members Of our Legislature dur
