sin'o Yesterday morning, which day being a
oe''utiiui and delightful day enticed nearly
every pody out Of doors. But after sunset
'no evenings are as pleasant, dare say, as in
hortnerh latltudes. The dust on the streets is
se'tiea oy the aid Of sprinkling carts of which
ne" orleans has superabundancc. and ex-
hilarating zephyrs waiting from the lake render
the nights enchanting.
Nc" orleans offers as many facilities for
pastlmes beneficial to the health as any civ in
tile South. The charming lake Pontchartrain
lies within few miles from her principal
tnoroush1ares and can be reached by three
Inherent railroads, the fare on which for the
round "trip to the lake is placed at the sum of
n1teen cents. The trains which run to Milne-
burg more generally known as the old lake
nave their terminus at the foot of Canal street
about thirty yards from the river. The track
or this road runs parallel with the river as far
as Elysian street, thus enabling the passen gers
10 nave full view Of the shipping along the
river. Mllneburg is a little village of about
three hundred inhabitants and boasts of having
the best and largest hotel on the lake shore
There is probably no summer resort better
known all over the country than the Spanish
Fort, situated about three miles south of Milne
burg, on the lake. Besides being renowned on
account of its historical antecedents, Spanish
Fort boasts Of having the prettiest park in the
country besides possessing geological garden
which is destined to become an unusual attrac
ton for the city. band composed of thirty
musicians discourses sweet music every eve
ming at the Fort. After the Spanish Fort, West
End, another lake resort, enjoys the reputa-
ton Of being the liveliest little place in New
Orleans. The celebrated revetment levee, of
which so much has been said, runs from the
principal hotel eastward, and has been con-
verified into beautiful walk. Flowers and
strawberries Of oil kinds have been planted on
this barren waste so that it is now q veritabie
parterre. Three boat clubs have magnificent
club houses at this resort The lake trains
running to Spanish Fort have their depot Oh
the corner of Basin and Canal streets, and the
West End trains stop on Canal street betwee
Carondelet and Bar0nne streets. There is also
fine band of music at West End. The people
of New Orleans are not Indifferent to the I'D
vantages which these lake resorts offer them
for recreation and amusements, for there are
throngs that nightly take " a trip to the
lake."
Another monstrosity comes to light in the
Crescent City, and is no less a parsonage thar
stepfather, who after committing foul deed
fed for green Acids and pastures new. Some
time in the year 1878, about the epoch of yellow
fever, there appeared in the middle walks O.
city life a sprightly and withal comely AM
interesting widow with family of three
| children, the eldest being pretty girl of som'
| fifteen summers. The widow had been the wifi
| of a broker who moved well in New Orlean
| society, and died leaving his family in gOot
circumstances. AS time flew the widow grew
restless in her weeds, and sighed for the tim
and the opportunity when connubial bis
| would present itself to her for q second time
With ali her wiles aud comeliness she failed t.
sustain her former prestige in the matrimonial
line, for she could only draw into her meshes
| mixOlogist Of liquor, or parsonage more vul
! carly known as bartender who proved al
EASY victim to the widows wiles. OF cours
cruel society stood aghast at the widows d.
movement and as she stood on the precipe c
her own hastiness, her whilom friends deserte
her and let her fall. The nuptials were dull
celebrated and the couple shortly afterward
took an extended bridal trip on the fund
furnished by the happy bride. Their receptio
on their return home was grand affair, I'll
happy pair settled down to the humdrum of lii
and for two years happiness and contentmeI
held full sway in the ex-widow's household
The husband had opened "a house" on til
funds of the wife, and soon became big ma
with the b'hoys of the ward. But too much
good thing is very often bad thing, and
proved such in the ex-parteinaer's case II
money did not last forever, and after it 10y
etc. soon followed. That household soon b
came a pendemonium. People began talkil
about them, and it was even whispered tha
the eldest daughter, who developed into
beautiful girl, was on terms rather too intima
with her stepfather. The surmises proved
he too true indeed, for one fine morning II
stepfather disappeared, and not twenty-fo'
hours afterwards the s1epgllaHghter was pr
claimed to the world as being neither 9 mai
nor wife, nor q widow, but mother. 5

excitement amongst Italians has not abat'
