Where it Will DO the Most Coed.

The complaints are frequent, lately,
against the Council, the Committee on
Streets and Landings and the Admins
traitor of improvements, that no work
of any consequence is being done on the
streets. The reason for all this can ca
silly be explained. Since time imme-
mortal the residents of Goose Hollow
and Catfish town have been submerged
after every rain-storm, for want of an
adequate outlet for the heavy volumes
of water which find their level in those
afflicted portions of the town. The
present Council, the commencement of
this year, came to the determination to
relieve those poor people whose gardens
poultry ETC., are destroyed at every
moment, and whose healthfulness is
correspondingly impaired. Either one
thing or the other had to be done. Keen
the streets on the hill in good order and
abandon as in the past, the residents of
the long afflicted sections to their fate.

The GAINESVILLE Recorder has got It on
a Milwaukee travelling man. The man
was telling about going into the grand
stand of a church at Fond du Lac, and
seeing a time board hing out over the
judges stand which read, "Christ came
into the world to save sinners Tim.
l:l5," and said he didn't believe any
such time as lis had ever been made.
When the good editor told the bad
Milwaukee man that what he took fol-
thine Ills" was Timothy, LIST chapter,

crushed, and asked the crowd to &c
down to Todd's and take something. O,

else relieyeNthe latter by postponing the
work Oh the hill that is not absolutely
indispensable.
The appropriation being small, il
was wise that it should have been
husbanded, to be put at the proper
time where it would do the most good.
The Street Committee, in furtherance
Of the views of the Council, have adopt
ed plan of relief, which they are pro-
ceeding to carry out. In the meantime,
it is hoped that the people living on the
hill, knowing thereason Why their wants
are not attended to, will generously sus.
tain the Council in its efforts to bring
relief to the long neglected neighbor-
hoods mentioned in the above.

We are in favor of the omelet in the

because of few who will find it hard to
come up to the requirements of the side
walk ordinances, which the Council
should make as stringent as those of the
city of New Orleans.
We have, individually, and through
our columns urged this matter strongly
to the consideration Of the Council, and
of the people. We now say, let there be
no child's play about it any longer.
Thousands of strangers will be visiting
our city annually, and if we wish to take
advantage of the boom now upon us we
must show that We are live and 60

We are for straining every nerve at
this juncture, believing as we do, that
two years more of well directed efforts
will so improve Baton Rouge that its
present residents will be astounded at
the change.

Thibodaux Sentinel: A couple of
weeks ago our fellow townswan Ozeme
Naquin ruthlessly blighted the hopes of
a.wouldbe Kansas Eroduster. On his
way to Houma he was accosted by a
burly representative OF the African race,
bestriding a fine nag, which he offered
him for $500. The low price asked and
the mans manner at once aroused Mr..
Naquin's suspicion but he had the pres
ence OF mind and tact to conceal it to his
new fellow traveller. The latter ex-
planned that he wanted to move to Kan
sas and wanted money-the reason for
his offering the mare so cheap. A pretty
little game--but it wouldn't take, Mr..
Naquin, feigned an agreement to buy and
induced the man to accompany him to
Houma under the pretense that he had
no money on his person and that he
would pay him there. On their arrival
in Houma, MIR. Naquin played his role
so well that before our guileless exodus
ter could take in the situation, he was
taken in by the strong arm eff law and
placed in safe custody il Terrebome Jail

A Liberal Offer.

DEAR CAPITOLIAN - Since reading
your article in thursdays edition re-
gardins property holders repairing their
sidewalks and in order to further this
object would make the following offer:
I will furnish for the next 80 days to all
parties who wish to build or repair their
sidewalks tho very best hard burnt brick
at 5000 per thousand, such as we have
been selling for $1,000 and cement for
the same purpose, at 81 IS, it being
clearly understood that the above mate
rails are to be used for this specified pur-
pose only.
IwOuld recommend to all parties max
ing sidewalks to use cement as it not
only prevents the grass from growing
on them but makes them much more
durable.
Yours Truly, VIM. GAR1G.

THE 10Y WOLF.
A Pair Of Stories From DR.. Balls
Book Of India.
London Telegraph

London Telegraph.
In his emlnently interesting work, en-
titled "Jun gle Life in India" Mr.. Ball
has adduced good reasons for believing
that the old classical story IF the rear
ing of Romulus and Remus by She
wolf may be founded on fact. This au-
thor cites the case of two lads in an or
phanage in Sekandra, near Agra, who
had been discovered among wolves, and
in many ways shared the habits of these
animals. One of his stories is support
ed by letter from Prof. Max Muller.
1t says: "a trooper sent by a native
governor of Chaudaur to demand pay
.ment of some revenue was passing along
the bank of the river about noon, when
he saw large female wolf leave her
den, followed by three whelps and a
little boy. The boy went on all fours,
and when the trooper tried to
catch him he ran as fast as the
whelps and kept up with the old one,
They all entered the den, but were dug
out by the people with pickaxes, and the
boy was secured. He struggled hard to
rush into every hole or den they came
near. He became alarmed when he saw
grown up person, but tried to fly at
children and bite them. He rejected
cooked meat with disgust, but delighted
in raw flesh and bones, putting them
under his paws like dog. They tried
to make him speak, but could get moth
ing from him but an angry growl or
snarl."
Another instance is quoted as having
occurred at Chupra. A Hindo father
and mother went out to cut their crop
in March, 1e43. The woman had with
her little boy, who lately had been
severely burned on the left knee. While
the parents were at work, the child was
carried off by wolf. Some time after
ward q wolf with three small cubs was
seen about ten miles from Chupra, fol-
lowed by a boy. The boy, after much
resistance, was caught and recognized
by the mark of the burn on his knee.
He could eat nothing but raw flesh and
could never be brought to speak. He
used TO mutter and snarl, but never ar
ticulated distinctly. The pans of his
knees and the points of his elbows had
become horny from going on all tours
with the wolves. In November, 1850,
this boy escaped and disappeared in the
Jungle. Thus the she VOLTS litter of
Macaulay's "Lays Of Ancient Rome"
may have been, after all, no myth
