Surveyor d'Ilemecourt is not at all inclined to consider the inuendoes contained in the publi cations referring to his report to Administrator McCaffrey on the Hollingsworth pump, at work at the head of Josephine street. Urged into a conversation on the subject he said, however, that his reportto the Administrator of Improve ments does not apply to the general quallties of the Hollingsworth pump, with whic lihe had nothing to do, but was simply an expression of his opinion, in compliance with the request of Mr. McCaffrey as to t he ott olency of the pump in its "special" appllcation to flushing gutters. The pump mlght be capa ble of lifting millions of gallons of water per hour, he said, without rendering it eoflicint if the entire volume of water be used to flood only one street. His objections to it are that it is stationary, and would require much time to be shifted from place to place along the forty streets in the upper districts that"need flush ing; that to replace the wharf and the levee in Droper condition after using the pump at the head of a street would cost at least $w20, whereas a better effect could be obtained from portable pumps without incurring such ex pense. Another objection is that the pump floode the entire street while in operation, thus effording a vast surface for the sun to act upon when the pump stoppeds.vork. As to having soon thet pump at work, Mr. d'Elemecourt asserts that, in compatny with Administrator McOaffrey, ho has actually re mnained over an hour under the tnt covering the apparatus. BIARDED IN HI' DEN. How An Allejed Insuilt by Judge sm5ith Was Resented. On Thursday thorn was a case before Judge Smith, of the First Municlpal Police Court, In which a young lawyer. Mr. H. L. Edwards, who has recently commenced the practice of his vro fession in this city, appeared for the proUecu tion. The ease was one of broach of trust and embezzlement, the accused being charged with appropriating certain property left in his pos session for repairs. The circumstances under which It came into the First Municipal Police Court, as related by Mr. Edwards, are as follows: On bdng appeal ed to by tile owner of the property to recover it or its value, which was fixed at $25, and being Informed that demand had previously and fre qunitly been made by his client in the presence of witnesses before whom the accused had ad mitted receiving it, he wrote that person a note, notifying him that if at a given time the prop erty was not returned or its money value paid, he wosld PRIOCEED AGAINST nIlit CBITMINAI.TY. In response to this communfaicatlo the ac cused appeared, and after considerable discus sion. he (Mr. Edwards) agreed on behalf of his . client to accepot a note at thirty days for 2.0, and a cash payment of r, in settlement. Th'h I note was made out and signed, but when it r came to the payment of the money only $1 was forlhcoming, but on the promise of the accused t to pay the money in the evening the note was accepted. The promise was not kept, and after t the lapse of several days and the ilnal refusal of the accused to complete the contract, Mr. Ed wards advised his client to make aallidavrt, and the advice was followed. As above stated the case came up Thursday. As soon as the subject of the note was in tro duced and the receipt for it produced, Judge Smith decided that the uatter was a civil rmat ter and ordered the ease dismissed. Mr. Ed wards asked to be placed on the stand for the purpose of showing the cilrcumstances under which t'e note had been receive,) and also that the contract under whli'h it had beeoon artotedtod had been violated. Judge Smrrith decline, to t hear him, or to allow him to make an eoxlauan tion, and, as it is alleged by Mr. Edwards and those of his friends who were prcsent, he asserted, not in so many words porhats, but in substance and offEct, that Mr. Edwards wanted thlat five dollars for his tee, and that in his anxiety to secure it, he (Mr. E.) had forgotten the int rest of his client and had entero-l into a disadvan tagnouts agreement. and If Mr. Edwards was net such a y. ung man he w uld ont, r charges against him for collusion of erime to gain ihis fee. Heo imediately called the next case, antid Mr. Edwards retired. After consultation with friends, Mr. Edwards decided on the course which he pLIrsaruc yester day. ht aboIlt t o'clock Judge Stmith resumed the bench naftr aroeess, and Mr. Edwards arose In front of the bar and said: 'If the Court please, I yesterday appeared be fore the Court in a case, and although I treated it with every courtesy and consideration, and conducted myself, in every respect, In a proper matnner, I was, without any cause, grossly in sulted. I ask an apology from the bench for that Insult. I know no reason why it should have been inflicted on me, and as it was given from the bench, I ask an apology fron, the bench, and also an opportunity of e;r.x.AbntAg -uay positein rogardingthe note." He P·aused. Jutdge Smith-Are you through? Mr. Edwards-Yes, sir. Judge Smith then had his say, a 3 follows: You appeared in a case of embezzl ,ment, and on trial It appeared that you had an ;reed to ac cept a note, and $5. your fee." toiMr. Edwards-No, sir; that is w nat I object Judge Smith (resuming)-Well. I ,ou agreed to accept a note and $5 in settlemtr t, and when the receipt for the note was in' r:educed I do elded that it was a civil .atter P and dismissed the case. Itold you that you ha d no right to fritter away the time of the co rt n bringing civil matters before it, and that if vou were not a youlng tan, and not acquaint ed with the nice technicalities and distinctions anti it had not been your first appearance t Afore the coutrt, I would punish you. What I sa lid I repeat, and I have no apology to make. C: ll the next ease. Mr. Edwards, very calmly r nd quietly, but dis tinctly, said-Then I say the ,. you are A PUPPY, A SCOUNDREL AND A HOUND, and are not fit to occuy tb e position you ill." Judge Smith turned to o te offleor of the court, and said: A re o them and confine o him for twenty-four ho urs, in defaunlt olf the payment of a fine of $25.' .r .dflot Mr. Edwards. after consultation with his friends decided to serv e out the sentence, and was accordingly comme ,tted to the Parish Prison. The legal fraternity as a class, have been made acquainted with a the facts in the case and lndorse the course and conduct of Mr. Ed wards, and proDose to take united and decided action in tl'so mattel CUSTO' *-HOUSE NOTES. `Vance and tb .e Calcasleu Lumber Trade.

They were met at the depot by delegations from both clubs, with torches, and as soon as the pr ,cession was formed they marched over to the Perseverance club-house and partook of a bowl of punch. They were then escorted to the Hope club-house, where they partook of a collation, drank wine and were made merry by their friends, who drank many a foaming beaker to the success of the victors.

In war. plagues and famine, human nature shows itself. The hidden qualities of the eenue homo crop out at such times and the bed rook of callous indifference or the warm springs of urre sympathy are sure to be developed. Alroady something of this has been exhibited, and no bettor scope can be found for the exhibition of it than in the daily rounds of any member of the Howard Association. A day or two ago an incident occurred which, although savoring of the humorous, still tells ofithe cold steel-heart edness of some grasping Dpeople. In a small tenemont house of three rooms lay as many children sick of the fever. The mother, a widow, had expended her laut cent to relieve her little sufferers, and was subsisting daily on what she recelved from the Howard Arsocia tlon. On Thursday the landlord appeared and ordered the poor woman to vacate the promises the next day, or if she did not a constable would put her few things on the street. One of the Howard reserve corps happened to be on hand, and after listening for some time to the land lord's talk, Informed that creature that if one stick of furtniture or one article was removed. he, the owner of the premises, would be hold liable for murder in case any of the children lied. iThe landlord, after c sound lecture, re tired considerlbly chagbrined. It is curious to seeo the people who visit the Howard Association rooms and the many Iquets they are on. Some want a nurse to at tend a case of chronic dysentery or piles, others want a few dollar's for the "auld man," who hasn't made a dollar for ia month, "to get tim poor fellow his mornin's cooktail." As i like caset a Howard came across a man ytesterday on his roundse who wanted that association to do overything for him that he wanted. "D'yer see me child a lyin' there waltin' fur to bre burir.d. D'yer? The Howard man responded that he did. "An' ain't yer. now saty, ain't yor a goin'to give me a nice folno white collin and furteeon cabts for a furst class funeral for it?" The Howard man satid that the assonlation was formed to aid the suffering, and after death they coult not bury the diead. "ArrIhl an' is that the kolnd of min yese are? Shure phats this money a comrin' ore fur but to give us good funerale:. An' it's stealiln of it, you are. Shure yeso call yorself geoo min. P'hat will yes do whin the epordomny is over. thuro yes all will be a bulldlin yer faine brink houses off the money. Give mt, a furst clatss funeral, shuro, that's Vhat I want." T'bo rubicund noso and bleary eye showed too platinly that there was a little obliqulty of moral vision, and the Howard man, wtho stood calmly the astault, escorted the gent to his back gate and Lat, him gently down in the alloy. It Is erioull to see the lagorance. tbh base' Ingratlt udi of somi, of the lower class. For over Ia week this man and his family had been,, subsisting only on what thi Iiowardts gave thern, and bteciause the "furtreon" tabs were not forthroming lie commrnced ths vlt.upera tion. Those are only two 'ases. but every day similar olons art soon. WA TIS. HELP WANTEDh-FEMALES. Cooks, Etr. WTANTED-A YOUNG WOMAN TO COOK Sanlld do houseowrk for a small family. German preoorred.
