Samples of the Correspondence that
He is Receiving.
Some of the constituents of Congressman
Lester do not appear to have bethought
themselves that he has not yet been formally
indicted into the congress to which he has
been elected, and therefore is not in posi-
ton to extend some of those little courtesies
which congressman rely upon to solidify
themselves in the hearts Of the dear people
Mr.. Lester's mail is beginning t. assume
a voluminousneSs which will hardly be ex-
ceeded when congress is in session. He is
receiving all sorts Of letters, and from all
classes of people. Very few of his esteemed
correspondents remember to enclose green
stamp for reply, but the letters receive
due consideration, and are answered as sat
isfactorily as the circumstances will permit.
Among the letters which have been re-
ceivtd are some from persons holding
fourth-class postoffices and minor federal
offices, who want to retain their places,
and want the congressman's inf renee ex-
erted to keep them in. Others who are
among the outs write for recOmme ldations
to help them get 10. Quite "a

Some of the Tricks That April l is

Yesterday was "All Fools day" and
many were the practical jokes which were
practiced on those who were not on the out
look for sells.
Some Of the friends of Capt Doyle were
told that the President had sent in his name
to the Senate for collector of customs, and
they started post haste to congratulate
the recipient Of the position, who enjoyed
the joke hugely, although he probably
would have enjoyed it better if be had some
assurance that his appointment was likely

that Capt Doyle had been appointed but

An old colored woman at Whitaker and
Broughton streets spied pocketbook much
the worse for wear, lying in the gutter, and
apparently well-flled. Watching her
chance, she bounced on it, concealing it
under her apron and passed out Whitaker
street trying TO look innocent, but her GU
riosity carried her no farther than Brough-
ton street lane, where she lodged
in and began survey of
the purse. Evidently she thought she
had treasure, but when she found it
stuffed with brown paper, she flung it away

A COUNTRY BOY TAKEN IN.
The Trick a Negro Played on an Eden
Lad

Lad.
Benjamin Purse, a colored boy, who came
down from Eden yesterday TO do some trad
ing, with instructions to return on the even
ing train, did not go back home last night
His ticket was not good 1t was a size
larger than the Central railroad ticket,
and the reading was like this: 81. Stein
bach, Tailor, 2014 Jefferson street"
When the boy presented it at the ticket
Office he was informed that no clothing was
needed just then.
But aunt ter git off on de train wild
it. l aunt ter go home," said the be-
wildered lad.
Upon being informed that the piece of
card board was nothing more than a tailor's
card, and that it was not good for ride on
the Central railroad, the boy began boohCo-
ing. Policeman Thorpe soon found the
boy, and taking him out in front of the
depot, learned the story of the ticket and
made a search for the man who sold it to
the boy, but did not find him.
The lad said that he was waiting around
the depot, getting ready to buy his ticket,
when a colored man walked up to him and
asked him W ere he was "totin' all dem
bundles" The boy replied that he was
taking them to his home in Eden. The
negro asked if the boy had purchased his
ticket, and he replied that he had not. The
negro pulled out of his pocket Il
card and told the boy that 1t was
a return ticket to Eden. The negro said
that he purchased it in Eden the morning
before expecting to 60 back, but that he
had got employment here and that he
had 10 use for it. The boy might have it
for half what he would be able to get one
from the agent for. He offered the ticket
for 40 cents. The lad put his bund es down
and hauled out the money and paid the
negro for the ticket and ran across
the street and invested the few cents
which he had over in cheese and crackers

PLEASED WITH DRAINAGE WORK.
Increased Sanitary Benefits From
Ditching in the Suburbs,

Increased Sanitary Benefits From
Ditching in the Suburbs.
The farmers west of the city are jubilant
over the nearly completed drainage of the
country west of the city and north of the
Central railroad to the river and extend
ing to the three-mile post. Heretofore this
section has been so unssnitary during the
summer that their phi 'sicians were hasty in
advising early removals in order to evade
serious, if not fatal consequences.
Draining was such keenly felt necessity
as to occasion steps toward a remedy to
meet this evil. Hence, diagram of the
locality was prepared b. the county engi-
neer and submitted to the county commits
sioners and wisely passed upon by them.
About year ago chain-gang No. 2 was set
to work to do the necessary draining Now,
with the exception of one very important
drain to be cut through a very unhealthy
section to pond of stagnated water, and
which will be completed in about eight or
ten days. this will be a well drained and
healthy locality, aud reflects much to the
credit of the worthy county commissioners
in using the chain-gang TO this end.

THE NAVAL BOARD.
1t is Now Inspecting Blocks Harbor-
The Boards Movements.

The naval commission concluded its la
bors at New Orleans last Saturday, and in
the evening was dined at La Restaurant
de la Louisiana. The hospitalitieso of the New
Orleans people, which had all along been de-
clined during the working days, were ac-
copied Saturday evening, and the reception
was elegant and recherche.
The bill of fare was IN the original French
and Of course, the cuisine was under the
supervision Of a French culinary artist.
The mayor Of NeU Orleans presided and
the toasts were numerous and the responses
eloquent, for New Orleans is not far behird
Savannah in the fame Of its after-dinner
orators.
Commander Brownson, for the naval com
mission responded in a speech full Of cOmpli-
ments TO the citizens for their hospitality,
and the health Of Commodore Mccain,
chairman Of the naval board, was raptu-
rOusly drunk.
On Yesterday the commission left New
Orleans to investigate the harbors at Biloxi
and Scr lnton, and after their investigation
at those places the board will return
to New Orleans and take train for Savan-
nah.
After the board concludes it's investi-
cations here it will 90 direct to Wash
ington, whore it will make up its report
The members Of the board cannot be
betrayed into expressing any individual or
official opinion as TO the result of their
labors 50 far, and no one is permitted
to travel with them. Each member,
who has his eyes open, listens attentively to
the arguments Of committees, and notes
carefully all the facts to guide him when
the board meets in Washington to take final
action.
1t is now thought that the commits
sioners will reach here the latter part of
the week, and after their Investigations
are concluded take sleepers over the Coast
Lire to Washington.
The New Orleans people think that the
visit of the commission to Scranton and
Biloxi is made only through courtesy, and
that these harbors nave no chance to secure
the Gulf coast naval establishment.
