Kick-aamcd Chiiicufs,
from a Ir.vr YirV Le!t(!.
There are a great many churches
in this city that are known better
by their slang names than by any
other. First and foremost Is "The
Little Church Around the Corner,'
that, is never called by atiy other
name.' Beforo it received that
name, however, it was eailod "The
Church of the Holy Cucumber,"
from the way in which it covers
tho ground. The present name
has bocome so popular that few
know !t by any other, and I could
not now tell you what Its real
name is. Whon t!io excitement
about this church was at its hight,
I used to sco a drayman's cart
about town with "Tho Utile
Church Around the Corner " pain
ted in big lottors ou ttio dashboard.
Tho Iicv. Dr. Bellows' church,
Which is built of alternate layers
of marble and brick, is known as
the "Holy Zebra," or the "Beef
steak." Thero Is a church further
up town of the Dolly V anion! stylo
of architecture that goes by the
name of tho "Holy Oilcloth." St.
Albans is called tho " Holy Caiullc
stick," from its very higb-chureh
tendencies, and there is auother
known as tho "Great Tea Ware
hoWo of Prayor." An Episcopal
church on Fifth avenue, iu Urn
neighborhood of Murray Hill,
whose rector and fj-ale lav each
the unenviable reputation of being
cruel ftirK is known as the church
of tho "lloly Jilts." There ore
other churches with fl.mg names,
bi.t thetc ure" anion; tit the bcit
known.

the Board of Levee Commissioner
might be covered with th four
Cagers. Yet the latter Board si's
the depository of appropriate and
expend in, mired tboinandi of
doliari of the public money, and
we havo no exhibit tf receipts and
cxjcud:turc8 aud dites, or wbi.t
bottds, if any, aro destroyed, &e.
It was IclieveJ whenouo or two
of the pretext eomniisi-lonti'S took
their seats there would Lo t-oiuo
..atiefaetory expose of levee afliiira
and Eouio protection of the inter
est j of tho tat payer ; but thess
olHeiah seem to be without buck,
bone. AVe can dltcovor no eeracEt
intent to subserve the t:us p-iyers,
no ilj id iuspectlou ef accouuts,
no aigi'S of retrenchment and
economy iu ofco expenses, uo de
sire to reinody the defecation of
fundt, or to entrust to nTeu of
thorough integrity.' Gomlemen
say " we can do " so and so fore
stall aud detect frauds ; of course
they can even possible u thor
oughly houost administration of
our loveos lut tciil they tfo itt.
That is tho (picst'iou. We may as
well u ao plain English : there Is a
wido-Fpread belief that the levee
funds lisve been diverted to pri
vate tise and profit. When wo see
the salaried clerk3 of tin's corpo
ration speculators iu real estate,
and loveo scrip, aud Vteamboats
and banks, money lenders and
brokers, whilo tho tax payers ara
baukrtipting this belief, a3 hu
man nature is constituted, v. ill not
admit of ,afiimeut. In other
words, the people have como to re
gard tho Lcveo Board as part end
parcel of that pernicious system
of govorninoat through tho South
which is organized for tho sole
aim of eo'.rang the public treasure.
For men who had uny regard for
their honor would put themselves
to scuio pains to disabuse tho pub
lic mind and clear up tho fo& that
environs thorn.
Tbe writer had occasion to mako
some strictures on this Board iu
die or two former commnnica-
ions wnicn wero regarded ns
"anonymous." It is enough to
know he spoko, and now sponks,
the sentiments of ninety-nino out
of every hundred of (ho tax pay
ors. Had they been heeded, tlicso
hard words would bavo been
avoided, confldonco might have
been restored,-and the levee tax,
at least, paid, instead of going over
board v.itb the rest amidst tho in
d'giialion of a loug-snfferiiig peo
ple. Iu the language of an able
commentator upon tho times
The plain matter of tho fact is, if
superficial men and men without
spines, oaauot bo ousted from the
control of the public money, the
very foundations of O'.ir institu
tions will in time bo undermined.
One grand object of government
is tho protection of properly, but
every dollar paid in taxes is sub
tracted from somebody's property
and the evil Is doubled whon that
dollar, liifitead of being honestly
and judiciously expended, got3
into tho pocket of soino ono who
has no right to it. Tho people de
mand reform; not mystification.
Allow mo a word with the tax
payers. Ifonr the resolutions of
their late., meeting may sprend
alarm among tho contractors, who
aro now rebuilding the broken
levecs. T'to Stnto and couutv can
take care of themselves, but the
levees are peculiarly "our own
affair," and too important to us to
bo sacrificed, at almost any cost.
I can seo no practical manner of
rosisting tho other tuxes and tit
the tamo time pitylug the levao
tiixos, so as to insuio tho comple
tion of the work begun, outside
nnd independent of the expensivo
machinery of tl.e Levee Board.
nesKies, j tnttife the nioro wise
course would bo to nmko a united
and organized representation thro'
tho Tax Payers' Convention to be
held at Jackson; protest against
tho many sinictiro offices, und bv
petition to the Legist u.to seek
relief. Then, ns a last resort tv lieu
all legitimate nit aus are exhaust
ed, adopt tho more violent menu
tuo of resistance. It must bo ra
membercd no such efforts havu yet
been made. An expert, top, might
bo sent to tho Levee ofilec.
While upon this subject T rvUh
to record the earnest protest of
the citizens who are eye-witucfcufi
of tho work going ou atjk'llvar
Landing. A levee of proj it di
mensions is being built, but the
desijjnof a plank partition oi fence
