Dear /ir-Cannot some of your merchants

shipping grain from your city to Liverpool. Up
here we are satisfied that grain can be transported
from Kansas City to New Orleans, during at least
six months of each year, for nine or ten cents a
bushel, but some grain men say that port
charges, want of floating elevators and soarclty
of seafaring tonnage, to say nothing of obstruc
tions at the mouth of the river, will pre.
vent shipment on advantageous terms by way
of New Orleans. If these points can be cleared
up satisfactorily I believe this city can be in
duced to start one or two boats and three barges
on an experimental voyage to your city next

expect New Orleans to do in the way of forward
ing it and sending us a back load of say 760 tons
of coffee, sugar, etc.? Respectfully0

There was a convivial meeting of "The Mesas"
and some invited guests at Francois OCarraze's,
the popular caterer of the Slaughter-House peo

had whetted appetites that are by no means hab

cook found appreciative palates well educated
and capacious stomachs In good order to diseuss
the merits of gastronomic performances.

There we recognised the good and true cook.

A good breakfast is worth a perfect sonnet, and
Boileau says that a perfect sonnet is worth an epic

up to grateful and discriminating appetites on
last Sundty morning. As Moliere has it, it was
one of those meals that flattered and satlsfied
the eye before it tickled the palate and contented
the craving stomach. Long may Frranois live,

Oh. wondrous, whisp'ring voice of love!
Oh. spirit stealing thro' my veins!
Why does this thrilling pulse so bound
With passion's most ecstatic pains ?
Why does her touch send darting pangs
Of painless pain my pulsos through ?
Why does her eyes' soft solendor mnake
A heart once cold throb forth anew?
Why, tell me why. can I not still
This troubled beating of my herrt
When she is near, and why the panl
Of sad regret when we must part
Has not this worn and shitwroek'd thing
Men call a heart ceased throbbing yet ?
Have not the wasting drafts of time
Ilid power to teach me to forget ?
Well,then, if fate so guides my way.
And those fond eyes look always kind,
I will defy the shadowy past
And love-since love is always blind.
I'll bow me down in thralls of love.
I'll worship blindly at thy shrine.
I'll clasp thy glorious beauty round
And make thee sweetly, wholly mine.

THE BAZAR MARKET.
Judge Billings Hears the Argument of
Counsel.
In the United States Circuit Court on Saturday
last Judge Billings heard the argument on the
injunction prayed for by the city to prevent the
seizure and sale of that portion of St. Mary's
Market known as the Bazar Market, under the
judgment obtained byJohn A. Morris against the
city.
Hon. T. J. Bemmes, on behalf of Morris, the
seizing creditor, contended that the city's title to
real estate was a very different right from the
market franchise, which is a part of the sovereign
ty, and could not be divested or terminated. Real
estate, on the contrary. was held by the city by
the same tenue as by individuals. Whether the
city could be divested of the title to it depended
entirely upon its distination. If it be not actbally
dedicated to the public use it is just as liable to
seizure and sale for the payment of judgments
against the city, as would be the property of an
ordinary judgment debtor.
The property in dispute in the case at bar was
not so dedocated in the contemplation of the law.
The city had no authority, as a municipal cor
poration, to establish markets for the sale of
other commodities than articles of food. In this
bazar market all such articles as are properly
sold under the market regulations, fresh and salt
meats, fish vegetables and fruits, are forbidden
to be sold there, and this prohibition destroyed
the destination of it as a market, and converted
it into a dry goods store.
Mr. Jonas, City Attorney, contended that the
market was established for purposes of public
revenue, and therefore could not be seized.
The Court heard the arguments with great at
tention, and took the case under advisement.

A Man etabbed Twice and /bangerously
Wounded.
At half-past I o'clock yesterday a boarding.
house runner named Wm. James was found by an
officer at the corner of Lafayette and Front
streets and taken to the Charity Hospital, as he
was suffering from two penetrating knife stab.,
one of them in the left breast and the other in
the abdomen.
A few hours afterwards a man named George
White was arrested by Officelor Teirell and looked
tip in the Oentral Station. When searched a rook
weighing about a pound was found in his pocket.
Although both the aeused and wounded men
were oonsiderably
UNDER THE INFLUENOM OF LIt UOR,
the former made a statement to a Dm(uoAi-t
reporter, and said that he was dancing with
some girls in a house at the corner of T iulouse
and Dauphin streets when a man wearing a red
shirt said to him: "If you want a drink I will
pay for it." ie replied: "I have money enough
to pay for my own whisky."
He said this was all the words that passed be
tween them, and while he was dancing tile man
slipped up on him, and drawing a large knife
stabbed him. After he received the wounds he
walked up to the corner of Lafayette and Front
streets, where the officer found him. The man
arrested and charged with the stabbing had on,
when he arrived at the station,

A MULE TRADEUR DANBEJtOUESLY CUlT.
statements of the Friends of Sloth Par
ties Concerning the Affair.
At about noon yesterday, on laronne street
between Poydras and Lafayette, a difficulty had
its origin between two mn.e traders, J. P. HuInd
son and Jacqueot Levy, during which the former
drew a large pocket-knife and inflioted a wound
in the left side of the latter's abdomen, five
inches in length. The aooused was arrested and
lodged in the Central itation, oha ged with
fighting and disturbing the peace and cutting
anr) wounding Jacquet Levy.
Teoo gentlemen, Messrs. A. R. Ashurst and
lowden, who were in company with the accused
at the time of the cutting, were also arrested
and immured in the Central Sgation charged with
being accessories to the cutting.
The wounded man was taken to the residence
of Dr. Dreyfus. where he was attended by the
Doctor, assisted by Dre. Mercier and ia ythe,
who, after a consultation, gave an opinion that
his condition
WAS VERY o'RITIAL.
A DZMOnRAT reporter visited the scene of the
affair and was given statements that are very
conflicting, so far as the manner in which the
cutting was done. The friends of Mr. Levy
stated the following:
Levy gave Hudson a draft for $4500, balance
due on 100 head of mules purchased by him in
Kentucky. and when delivered they were three
short. Yesterday, a little after 12 o'clock, Levy
was sitting in hi stable door when he made a
and, ifthey sak me about the note I am going io
refer th.n to my lawyer.
The three men approached, and Huder n said
to L vy: "The mule you sent me over, you say is
brosen winded. I will give you another." Levy
then remarked. "I have already settled it."
Hudson said, 'lYes, and I have settled it too,
because a bird in hand is
WORTH TWO IN THE BUIH."
Hudson then turned to Levy and said, "You
damn scoundrel," and drew a cowhide. Levy
then got up, approached Hudson and said: "I will
not allow you to call me a damn scoundrel."
Levy then attempted to clinch with Hudson,
when the latter struck him with the cowhide.
The two combatants then exchanged blows
but were immediately separated. Levy then
moved away from his antagonist and went in the
direction of his office.
Hudson then stepped into the street and drew
a knife; as he did so he was reinforced by two
friends.
The two combatants were about fifteen feet
apart. Hudson, who was all the while watching
Levy, rushed upon him, brandishing his knife.
Levy's friends hallooed to him to look out but
before he could prepare to defend himself hud
son made
A LUNOE AT HIM
and buried the blade of his knife in his abdomen
left side.
The following statementof the affair was after
wards made by the other side:
Mr. Hudson had a transaction with Mr. Levy
in Kentuoky and sold him one hundred mules.
In payment for the mules Mr. Levy gave Mr.
Hudson $8000 oash and two drafts, one for $4000
and the other for $4500. These two drafts were
on and accepted by himself to be paid in New
Orleans, the latter draft maturing yesterday.
The said draft was indorsed to Alford, Martin &
Co., and by them placed in the Canal Bank for
colleotion.
The neples according to contract, were to be
fed until September slt. In the latter part of
August, Mr. Levy requested Mr. Hudson,
owing to a dull market that the mules should be
fed longer, which Mr. Hudson agreed to,pro
vided Mr. Levy would reimburse him for same.
To this Mr. Levy readily consented to do. Mr.
Levy, about the middle of October, went to re
ceive these mules, and claimed that
TWO OF THEM WERE LAME.
Mr. Hudson claimed that they were all sound
upon the day of delivery according to contract.
Mr. Levy, however, shipped all but these two
mules, and afterwards, in New Orleans, notified
Mr. Hudson that he would not pay the last draft
unless the price of these two mules were de
ducted. Mr. Hudson made no reply to this save
that the mules were sound according to contract.
Mr. Levy then published a notice in the city
papers warning the public not to negotiate said
paper.
Alford, Martin & Co., after a consultation with
Mr. Hudson, notified the bank to receive any
amount exceeding $4000 if tends red in payment
of the draft. Mr. Levy Monday morning ten.
dered $4005, which was accepted by the bank.
At about noon yesterday Mr. Hudson being ad
vised, called two gentlemen,
MESSRS. ASHURST AND BOWDEN,
to accompany him as witnesses, called upon Mr.
Levy and made a tender of the remaining three
mules, stating to him that they were sound upon
the day named for delivery and were sound now, as
he was able to prove. After making this tender and
asking for payment of feed bill, he started to
leave, and as he did so Mr. Levy sprang up and
struck him a powerful blow behind the ear, fell
ing him to the earth, and sprung after
him, attempting to stamp him. Mr.
Hudson managed to gain his feet and
in doing so succeeded in getting out his pocket
knife, noticing at the same time a knife in Mr.
Levy's hand. He then struck at Mr. Levy and
inflicted the wound, believing his life was in dan
ger, as Mr. Levy was a ver ypowerful man. Later
m the day the three accused were arraigned be
fore Judge Smith and remanded to the Parish
Prison to await a doctor's certificate.
