New Orleans is having something like a
building revival; old buildings are being
torn down to make room for larger and
more modern structures, and gaps made
by old fires are being filled up, Indeed,
more building is being done now than for
a dozen years before. This Is not COnsid-

feeling that the business men are getting

\ REMA RkABLE MAN.

A Rochester correspondent of the
New York Sun gives the following in
regard to Lorenzo A. Pickles, of New
fame, in that State, who peddIes trees
throughout Western New York ssIIe
is 20 years old, and measures feet and
) inches in height. He has thirteen
sisters and eight brothers, and is tho
smallest of the entire family. One
brother, who lives in Kentucky, is :
feet % inches i'll height, and weighs
30 pounds, although he is spare in
flesh. The littlest sister is feet % in
ches tall. The family is scattered, no
two living in the same State. Lorenzo
Pickles has the appearance of Il man of
40. He never wears 4 coat, and goes
without stockings winter and summer.
He has two pupils in each eye. To
distinguish objects close by, Mr..
Pickles uses powerful magnifying
glasses. He can read print and see
things at Il greater distance, without
the aid of glasses. than it is possible
for persons with the natural eye to
sec. He never tasted liquor of any
Kind in his life, and never drinks
wafer. Three small cups of tea a day,
winter and summer, suffice TO uuench
Mr.. Pickles'5 thirst. He never eats
fresh meat. His chief article of diet is
salt pork, though he likes salt meats

OBJECTIONS TO MARRIAGE.

In our opinion, girls are just as will.
Ing to give up their extravaganza in
dress as young men are-that is, when
it is necessary so to do. To the fact
that men nare so unwilling to reiinq uish
their pet vices and luxuries is to be as
cribed much of the falling off of matri-
mony. Marriage without adequate
means of support is a blunder that is
almost crime but no girl made of
ordinary stuff will hesitate to share the
trials anu sacrifices of the man she
loves, provided he has that compe.
tence, however modest. The thou.
sands of happy, smiling homes, where
true love constantly abides, in spite of
the slenderness of the family income,
sufficiently attest the readiness of the
average woman to surrender the bau-
bles of wealth and fashion in order to
become a devoted wife and mother.
If the opposite sex were uniformly ami
mated by similar spirit, we venture
to assert that the number of maids and
bachelors would rapidly diminish.
The truth is, there is too much love of
dress and pretentious display in both
sexes, and women should not bear the
blame alone.

The Pesth correspondent of the Lon
don Standard describes n tragical affair
which occurred at Bittse, in the Trene-
zin county, Hungary. M. Smialovsky,
who was in his 10Th year and son of q
landed proprietor, and M. Moravsky,
aged 2l, whose father was district mag
istrate, agreed some weeks ago to settle
some romantic differences by a duel.
Having ordered pistols from Vienna,
they went together the evening before
the combat to local ball and appear
ed to be on the most friendly terms.
In the early morning, when the dane
ing was over, they went arm In arm to
the apartments which they were occu-
pying in common and took a few
hours rest. At $3.50 o'clock they went
out alone to a neighboring forest, and
took up their positions at a distance of
only three PAGES from each other.
Both fired, and both fell. NJ. Smialov-
sky was able to drag himself to his
lodgings. An hour elapsed before a
Surgeon was able to reach the man
who had been left on the ground. On
the sixth day after the duel both OF
the duelists died, each having pre-.
viousiy made formal declaration that
the cause of this desperate encounter
was an affair of honor.

WRITE PLAINLY.
[ BOSTON Uerall.l

tFSStoh herald.
The rejection of the manuscript of a n
unfamiliar author is perhaps oftener on
account of illegible handwriting than
OF lack of merit. There is no greater
torture for an editor than to have to
attempt to deciptcr bad manuscript.
ana the sense, especially of Il poem, is
frequently entirely lost in the tangled
maze of wretchcd penmanship. Sir
Francis Jeffrey knew SO well the diff
Guilty of forming a correct Judgment of
an article by a reading in manuscript,
that, when he sent in his first article
after he had retired from the Edin-
bursh Review, he had an understand
ing with Napier, his. successor, that it
should not be read until it appeared in
the proof. A few years ago the editor
of the Saturday Review was accustotn.
ed to have every article which appear
ed as il it might be worth acceptance
put into type before deciding upon it,
for as Charles Lamb says, there is no
such raw and unsatisfactory reading as
an article in manuscript. The same
practice is followed by the editor of
Harper's Magazine, it is said. Even
authors of wide eXperince, like Thomas
Moore and MacauIay, were seldom able
to form judgment of their own works
until they had seen how they looked
in print.

THE YORKTOWN CENTENNIAL CELE-
ItRATION.

Hon. John Goodc, President of the
Yorktown Association, has called on
President Garfield and invited him to
deliver an address at the laying of the
cornerstone of the Yorktown NIonu-
mcnt during the Centennial Celebra-
ton next October. The President
heartily consented to ~.do so, and
expressed great interest in the
success of the entire celebration. Mr.
Goodc also called on Secretary Blaine,
who, under Act Of Congress, has con-
trol OF twenty thousand dollars appro-
prjateh for the entertainment of French
visitors, and found him also deeply in
tcrested in tho matter. He informed
MIR. Goode that it is his intention to
secure large man-of-war for the re-
ception and entertainment of these dis
tinguishcd guests, and so far as the
State Department is concerned the
will be worthy of the oc-
casion.
The Congressional Commission. of
which Senator Johnston is Chairman,
also has 5000 at its command, and is
actively at work making pre-
liminary arrangements for the celebra-
ton. The Executive Committee will
leave Washington for Yorktown next
week on the Government steamer Dis
patch, to select sites for the erection of
necessary buildings, wharves, etc,
and the entire Commission will ASSEM-
BILE at Old Point Comfort at an early
date after the adjournment of the Sen
ate, to continue in session and perfect
all needed details during the Summer.

A HUNGRY CREW.
How the Crew Of the Tiger Lived ON
Dogs and shoes.

The steamship Nebo arrived in New
York the other day from Rio de Jan
GIRO. She reports having encountered
the bark Tiger, from Liverpool TO,
Baltimore, short of provisions. The
young German commander of the
Tiger told the captain of the Nebo he
had been 1A days out from Liverpool
with cargo of common salt; and he
had been in q most dreadful condition.
He was bound into Baltimore. and
was blown Off shore into the gulf
stream. From that time he had been
tossed hither and thither by the winds
and currents. He had twelve men be-
fore the mast, all of whom had dis.
played the utmost fortitude under the
most trying circumstances. Provisions
ran short one month ago. The beef
gave out first ,and then the bread, nine
days ago ; that is, nine days before
spoken by the Nebo. The last drop of
water was drunk, and then, three days
later, everything, even to boots and
shoes, had been devoured. They were
literally "without bit or su." The
captains dog had been killed, skinned
and eaten. Then lots were cast for the
cat. The poor beast was saved by the
captain himself, who besought the men
not to destroy it. The starving men
spared the cat, cut up their boots,
soaked the strips in lamp OIL, aud ate
them. This horrible food gave out,
and then the poor wretches eyed each
other suspiciously and hungrily, and
would have killed the cat could they
have found it. But the captain hid 1t,
and the panss of hunger were uuap-
peased for five days. Some of the
men meditated suicide. God knows
how many of them thought of murder
and cannibalism. Had the steamer
not come to the rescue, the captain Of
the Tiger said he thought something
more terrible than starvation would
have been enacted. The Nebo sent a
months provisions on board. When
the first boat load arrived the mate
teaped aboard the Tiger, eating a bis
cult. He was pounced upon by his
ship-mates, who literally fought like
dogs for cracker. Then they rushed
upon the other provisions and tore
them in the same way as furnished
wolves might have done.

MAuONE's DECLINE.

lfhiladelphia Times Washington Letter. I
Virginia gentleman and ex.mem-
ner OF the Legislature, who has recent
~ oeeu travelling through his State.
says that 1t Is great mistake to sun.
pose Mahone can act with the Repub.
itcasls III the Senate and retain his In.
huence obtained as a ReatlIustcr. He
says it is true that in certain citles a.
legged mass-mcetings have been held at
which resolutions have been passed ap.
| proving the senator's course. 1t fs
doubtless true that the senator has re-
ceived many congratulatory letters.
Vet this thing of mass-mcefings Ia an
easily managed affair. They have
been slimly attended and have acted in
obedience to the will of those holding
or looking for Federal offices, The let
fers he accounts for In the samo way.
They are mostly from readjusting Re-
pnblicans, many of whom he claims To
know. The great body of Reatljustcrs
live in the country In small hamlets.
Among such he finds that those of for
mer Democratic affiliations indignant
ly scout tho idea Of Malone leading
them into the Republican camp. Those
who We're formerly Republicans loudly
applaud Malone. The Democrats
Readjustcr is as intractabie as over
He won't be led any further than the
readjustment Of his debts. AccorlInr
to this gentleman, who Is also a Jour.
nalist and keen observer NIahono,s
joining the Republicans will have not
more influence in carrying Virginia or
breaking up tho solid South than the
appointment of Key to the postmaster
generalship. On the contrary, so far
as Virginia is concerned, ho thinks IL
will have quite the opposite effect.
The Democrats will be driven back to
their old standard, while tho regular
Republicans, II jealous of Mahone's inAu-
ence, will endcavor to win back their
own members and break the Malone
party to pieces. From what he has
seen in the country no concludes that
the Malone party in Virginia Is nj.
ready myth. AS soon as Malone
ceased to act Independent he was prac.
ticaily abandoned.
