The levees which skirt the river front
of New Orleans afford many interest
ing sights to the observer of human ma
ture, both in the daytime and at night.
The lowest scum of the city make the
levees. in the vicinity of the cotton-boat
landings. place of resort and place
where they can lie out in the warm
rays Of the semi-tropical sun and bathe
themselves in its glory to their hearts
content without molestation from any
one. Along the front of the levees,
which slope gradually to the waters
edge, the negro element congregate
perpetually, day and night, and as
soon as the monster Mississippi cotton
boats make a landing, they rush to it
in their desire to help roll off the bales
of cotton and receive therefor a small
amount of money and large amount
OF blasphemy from the mate, who is
proverbial in the region of the Missis-
sippi for the inventive faculty of origin

Napoleon's Watch.

Bonaparte's mind was, in its details,
low and ungentlemanlike. l suppose
the narrowness of his early prospects
and habits stuck to him; what we un-
derstand by gentlemanlike feelings he
knew nothing at all about; I'll give
you curious instance.
have beautiful little watch, made
by Breguet, at Paris, with a map of
Spain most admirably enameled on the
case. Sir Edward Paget bought it at
Paris and gave it to me. What do you
think the history of this watch was-at
least the history that Breguet told Pa
get, and Paget told me? Bonaparte
had ordered it as present to his
brother, the king of Spain. but when
he heard of the battle of Victoria,-he
was then at Dresden in the midst of all
the preparations and negotiations Of
the armistice, and one would think suf-
ticiently busy with other matters,-
when he heard of the battle of Victoria
| say, he remembered the watch he had
ordered for one whom he saw would
never be king of Spain, and with whom
he was angry for the loss of the battle,
and he wrote from Dresden to counter
mand the watch, and if it should be
ready, to forbid it being sent. The
best apology one can make for this
strange littleness is that he was offend
ed with Joseph; but even in that case
gentleman would not have taken the
moment when the poor devil had lost
his chateaux en- Espagne to take away
his watch also.
All those codicils to his will in which
he bequeathed millions to the right and
left, and among others left legacy to
the fellow who was accused of attempt
ing to assassinate me. is another proof
of littleness of mind. The property he
really had he had already made his dis
position of. For the payment Of all
those high-sounding legacies there was
not the shadow of fund. He might as
well have drawn bills for ten millions
on that pump at Aldgate. I'VE had on
our way driven past it. While he was
writing all these magnificent donations
he knew that they were all in the air
all falsehood. For my part, can
see no magnanimity in lie; and l
confess that think that one could play
such tricks but shabby fellow.-CrO-
ker's Conversations scith the Duke Of
Wellington. ........

The Xeuia Gazette tells how near 5-and-40
Brevet Blsck-birds came to getting their
feathers singed Monday night:
During the performance OF the Five and
Forty Blsckb birds" at the Opera House last
evening considerable CONSERVATION was
caused by smoke issuing from beneath the
stage, coming up through the floor directly
in front of the foot-lights, and in plain view
of the audience This continued for some
time, until everybody could see that the
house was filed with smoke. Some ladies
left the room and did not return, and nearly
everybody was more or less anxious, some
indeed greatly agitated. But Chief
Davidson and one or two others
had been noticed to leave, for the pur-
pose of investigating the matter, and
upon their return it was announced that the
smoke came from the stove in the station
house, which is directly under the stage, and
that the trouble had been obviated. 1t was
atterward learned that thirty-fve tramps were
in the station-house-that the stove being
slow to make for them all the heat they
wanted, they had been beating the pipe to
rattle down the SCOT, and in doing SO had
knocked down the pipe, which brought the
trouble. The tramps were turned out in the
cold for their bad behavior. 1t is fearful to
contemplate what might have been, had a
panic ensued, and under the circumstances it
is rather . wonder that there wa. not a panic.

1t is well-known that q large number OF
cases are pending in court here, brought BY
srloonsts to recover from the county treasury
money paid in as TAX under the Scott law, to
which they consider themselves entitled by
the repeal Of the law. A. c. Diboll, Esq,
attorney employed by the Clinton county
commissioners TO fight such claims for re-
funders there, has prepared brief in which
he holds that neither the Legislature nor the
Supreme court can constitutionally by act or
decree affect retrodetiUeiy the rights acquired
under the Scott law as enacted by the Legis-
lature, construed by the Supreme court June
26, 1883, aud adapting and applying the
language of Judge Ranney in the case OF
Mays VS.. Cincinnati Il, o. S. R., 279) to this
law, il is suggested that the justice of the
case, no less than the law, is against those
who ask for the return of the Scott law tax.
They have enjoyed the monopoly the law was
calculated to afford; and it is fair TO pre-
sumo, as in all such cases, that they got back
the money paid into the county treasury
from their customers, IN the increased price
Of the commodity sold.
