SMOKING CARS.

It IL to be hoped that the management OF
the Prytania and Magazine lines Of street
cars will not suffer their smoking system to
become disarranged. Heretofore there has
always been consolation to the anxious smoker
In the conviction that every third car was set
apart for him, and upon this fact he could
calculate with cheering confidence Contrasted
with the utter lack OF order In this respect
on the St. Charles street lines. this arrange
ment constituted charm OF no ordinary at
traction, and to 1t the Prytana and Magazine
lines owe considerable proportion Of their
masculine patronage. We notice, however,
that some slight Irregularities have of late
begun to creep In. and we are led to fear that
the same vexatious abandonment to chance
that has befallen the Carrollton and Jackson
street cars will eventually occur In this In
stance. We trust not, however, and we offer
this expostulation while yet the danger con-
sists or the cloud no bigger than a mans
hand. IT every third car be too much, then
let it be every fourth or every fifth, but Ia the
name OF all that's orderly and systematic let
us have d certainty

STREET SIGNS.

One OF the things most likely to attract the
attention OF stranger visiting New Orleans
at this time is the almost total absence of In
formation concerning the names OF streets. 1t
Is true that one may at times discover what
In past days must have served as guide to
the inauisitive wayfarer; but even In such
isolated instances one would be under the ne
cessity OF invoking the aid Of q broom for the
removal OF the accumulated dust of ages, or
OF calling Id the services Of some one versed
In deciphering half-obiterated sign boards or
monumental Inscriptions. Should a com
plant Of this sort, however, reach the atten-
ton OF the oldest inhahitant 1t would In all
probability have the effect Of provoking the
usual remark, Everybody knows the names
Of the street" more But In good
truth, everybody does not know the name OF
the thoroughfares, as may be readily inferred
by observing the numerous inquiries made by
strangers at all times and places. And just
now wi1en Ntw Orleans Il commencing g new
municipal year, and is preparing for an influx
OF strangers, would seem to be the proper
moment for applying q remedy for this COM
plant. OF course the usual objection of pow
erty will be raised, but a little examination
into the subject on the part OF our City Fa-
theirs will show that signs, that will at least
serve until more prosperous times, can be
prepared for less than a thousand dollars.

A recent meeting OF the milk producers o.
Orange, Sullivan and Sussex counties, New
York, reveals the fact that farmers generally
throughout those counties would be glad to
accept two, three and four cents quart fol
each four months OF the year, while some pre-,
fer two and half and three and a half cents
for oach SIX meaths. Most of the farmers In
the counties named are receiving only three
cents for winter milk 1t Is claimed that the
feed which Is required to produce IT costs
nearly all they get for the milk, and little is
left for income on capital invested, for de-
probation of stock and for the labor involved
It is apparent, after all this, that the farmers
III the section referred to are not we'll up In
the business" or that dreadful drouth has
preyailed among them.

In some quarters 1t Is believed that the
recent decision Of the Supreme Court, that
there should be no hearing Of arguments on
constitutional questions until there Is full
bench, was taken with view to assist In the
movement now active in Washington to force
Judge Hunt to resign. Judge Hunt Is a con-
tirmed invalid, and it Is doubtful Ii he will
ever again be able to sit on the bench. A
very strong pressure has been heretofore
brought to bear upon him to retire, and this
will be increased IN view Of the recent action
of the coult. Judge Hunt will now be forced
into the position of preventing the judicial
determination OF questions of the utmost i'm
portance and highest character by remaining
on the bench. This, 1t is asserted. has been
done deliberately. Whether the purpose will
be achieved remains to be seen.

One Of the peculiar features OF the South
ern tour OF Gen. Grant Is that he Ia ac-
companied by Gen. Sheridan, an officer
whose net toward the people OF the
South In times OF peace has not been
such as to entitle him to their especial
admiration. Sheridan, however, does not
seem In the least embarrassed by the posi-
ton In which he finds, or, rather, has placed,
himself and takes In the secondhand cheers
that greet him with the utmost sang froid.
or course 1t would not do after applauding
the ex- President to neglect the respect due
the Lieutenant General of the army, even
though the occupant of that high position
had denounced you as banditti and cut
threats. And after all, who knows but what
little Phil. Sheridan may turn out our dear
est friend" after all2 Ben Butler says he Is
better Democrat now than rilden or any other
man, and. perhaps, Sheridan only called US
'bandttl" out OF pure love and esteem! The
world moves and wonders never cease.

The reports OF the immigration authorities
OF New York indicate that the flow OF foreign
ers to our shores, which has been somewhat
checked for several years past, has been fairly
resumed During the year 1879 the arrivals
numbered It's, $50, against l2l, 3G9-an enorm-
GUS increase for u twelvemonth, and one well
worthy of r. Fiction. These immigrants are
principal, derived from Germany, Ireland,
England and Sweden-the last named coun-
try, with Norway, sending 1887 and the
first named 33,574 1t may be at once assumed
that but comparatively few Of these new
Corners have sought or secured homes In
Louisiana, q fact that strongly appeals to our
Legislators for the speedy inauguration OF
measures to bring the undeveloped resources
of the State before the people OF the Old
World, who are again IL 'cking to America In
search OF fortune and freedom.

According to the London Spectator over
fifth or the total area of Ireland, or i.653,55l
acres, Ia absolutely waste and unproductive

twenty acre parcels to the landless laboring
population or dependless cottier class, over

would thereby eease TO be an incumbrance rs

landlords, however, have no disposition to
do this, but prefer that the land should re-

recommends that the government take the
matter in hand, and that the lands be made
over to the peasants on certain conditions In
regard TO their Improvement, the cost OF
which ls to be advanced by the government.

Mining stocks have greatly deprecated In
value of late on the Pacific coast in conse-
quencc, 1t Is said. Of q growing conviction
that the public is Systematically swindled by
insiders, who, by means of diamond drills
and other improved apparatus. got all the In
formation they can for stock obbing pur-
poses and use such Information exclusively to
their own advantage. ALI this Is doubtless
true but eincs the characters of these opera
tors have long ago fallen below the plane ac-
corded to C,esar's wia, tho wonder Is that Il
want Of confidence has not been sooner mani
tested. Similar complaints are made from
time to time against other classes OF stock
operators, but we have yet to learn that they
have ever exerted wholesome influence in
restraining the uninitated from plunging
heedlessly into the whirlpool OF speculation
now pervading the land.

The railroads are catching" 1t just now In
the way of damages. The accident on the
Boston and Fitchbnrg road cost that COM
many $250, 900; that on the bridge OF the Lake
Shore road, near Ashtabula, 100000. There
have also been some pretty heavy single
judgments. Nine Fraloff, Russian lady
lost some laces stored In one OF her trunks,
and got $1,000 damages therefor from the
New York Central. The railroad appealed
the case, but only succeeded In increasing the
bin of costs. The most remarkable case, how
ever. was the suit brought by Dr. Phillips, a
London physician. who was seriously dam
aged on the Southwestern Railway. He got
n verdict of SIS 600; the railway appealed Il
and secured new trial. On the second trial
the Jury awarded DR.. Phillips $4,000.

M. De Lesseps's visit to Panama has had
one good effect, even II 1t does not result In
the digging of the Panama canal The ne
groes Of Arabal, who run the politics Of that
State, had just prepared for brilliant revolu-
ton, having laid tn a large supply OF whisky
and powder for that purpose, when the great
canal builder arrived. With remarkable
courtesy for South American reyolutionists
fhe Arabalians determined to postpone their
outbreak for awhile. The strangers had
come to improve and develop the country,
and II would not do to Brighten them away
with q riot. The guns Of the Arabalians
were accordingly put back IN their cases and
