At the last meeting of the Board of
Qty Councilmen a motion was adopted
to refer the matter of making arrange
ments for obtaining cash to run the city
government during the summer to the
Finance Committee.,1 We think a little
financiering of this sort has been heeded
for some 'time. The idea of a city witjh
over ; a million dollars taxable, property,
with but five or jix thousand dollars
floating debt, issuing scrip to be sold on
the streets at seventy-five, cenfs on the
dollar, is just simply ridiculous, espe
cially when ' the ; city has property
enough of her own to pay her debt. If
money cannot be obtained for less thap
twenty-five cents in the dollar issuing
scrip to be fold , at , geventy'five cente
amounts .'to',' paying 25 pec cent for
money the city had better run herself
until the collection of the taxes begins.
No individual wjth jhB resources t hij
command that the city has would run
his business at such a sacrifice; then
why should f the city'(( Thepresen
Board of Councilmen have a fine oppor
tunity of showing what sort of financial
ntuflt they are made of. Issue no more
scrip until .it Vill bring' pn bred
Another matter we" thih,'deseryes
notice. At the first meeting of the new
Board, Conncilman Qray instituted the
inquiry as to what is the amount of the
city debt, but no one was able to give
the information with certainty '.' If "no
one knovs the exact amount, .pf. the
debt how are they to know when it is
paid, and what protection have they
gainst . fraudulent sbrip? 3 Again;
it lias' been Recently discovered
that the city , ' or " "Cedar Grove

City that the Daily Journa l goes there
very irregularly, . Last Friday issue

are not put in vtheir boxes beford nine
or ten' o'clock.' Now we know our
Postmaser,yir..Mahtx, Is.npt only a
very clever gentleman but a very com
petent officer,' but we are Satisfied that
the most of our troubles about failures
to get the Journal on time is attributa
ble to the fact that the "Assistant -does
not get to the office in time in the morn
ing to make up the mail as he should,
If we are mistaken about this we would
be glad to find out where the trouble
lies, ii .t vi,c.!vfj. it ir-iiv : t

Thf? greole Days,the author of
"The Grandissimes," fully sustains the
reputation he : 'gained by tnat novel
which ran as a serial in the "Ccntu ry "
magazine. ' Taken as a whole wedjref er
them to his larger and more powul
book, as they are less terribly truthV, ,'
and have equal pathos and humor, and
give a better idea of life in Louisana,
inth$ beginning of! this"centuryf and
immediately after its cession to the Uni
ted States, than the fearful stories told
in''vThe Grandissimes. Fearful, but
as any one familiar with the traditions
of the race io LDuisiana, realizes truth
like . if not absolutely, true. : ''Creole
Days!' is a collection of tales in two vol
umes, each complete in itself, descrip
tive of different places of the highly
civilizedy ' yet semi-barbarous society
which was f oupd in New Orleans . , (
"When the newly established Ameri
can government was the most hateful
thing in Louisiana when the Creoles
were still kicking at ' such vile innova
tions as the trial by jury. American
dances,' ahtf-smuggling laws, and the
printing of the Governor's Proclama
tion iaEngUsWiH (In fiolidi of manner,
kvh hospitality, and strict observance
of their own arbitrary code of honor
and rules of etiquette, nono excelled
the race of Creole gentlemen. But the
sentiment , expressed by one of their first
representatives in Congress, who with
an eye to being himself a United States
Judge proposed that the salary of that
official be fixed at $29,000 and exclaimed
when asked "What will the people say
to such an unheard! of i salary i "3Xte
peeps I De peeps 1 What do I. care for
de peepi ? ;' Tis the gentile men ' T ant'
thinking of ! '.'. pervaded the whole so
cial system. All persons within a cer
tain charmed circle wers treated with
chivalrous courtesy, but for these in
that circle, those outside of it simply did
not exist,' except in so fa as they served
the purpose of the gentleman,,, who
treated them, as he might his horse or
his dog, kindly if so disposed, but simp
ly because bo disposed, and not from
any sense of duty or right.
Thji "stories are .hot.. connected, but
there is not one in which there is not
both humor and pathos. ' In "Madame
Delphine" we have an account of a good
oia priest wup sits witn two cronies, a
doctor and lawyer, discussing stories of
the pirate Lafitte, that marvel of cour
age, courtesy, gentility . and deviltry,
when the priest told of a beautiful girl
confronting him, on the deck of a vessel
he had just boarded, with an open mis
sal, and, putting her finger on the Apos
ties' Creed, commanded him to read it
"He read it, uncovering his head as he
read, and, gazing on her face, which did
not" quailt then with; a low bowl said:'
'Give me this book and,. I will do your
bidding.1 She gave' him the book and
bade him leave the ship, and he left it
unmoIestedJ" "ori mi;..- i j'h. . ,.;
! "Ah!'? says the Doctor in Creole pa
tois, which we translate into good Eng'
lish. "You just keep that cock and bull
story for your next sermon'f
"I gbitt' to' doJit!'" claimed
rere
Jerome. ' i-.-.Tr,i'.? ifftjirfl
"If . dad is, trod',"L said" the r lawyer
gravely, "I tell you what, he didn't
care nuttin' for dose creed; tie fall in
love."
Thai stquel ihowed fth Tawyer; as
The story reminds us of similar ones
we heard,' in days gone by, from the
lips of an old Arca4ian, or' J'Cajee"
woman' iuf just this same' Vatois,5 Which
Mr. Cable, reproduces so well that it
takes one famH t witty it to read it at a
glance, of 'bwuf U Capitan Lafitte, la
contrabandist (she would hot have said
pirate formal king's (ranBora) ' '"whd was
so good! so gontlal he'run his'vesaol
into our bayou, Mmselle, through throe
four men's war boats of soldiers, and
sink and shoot 'em all, 'cause he prom
ise to dance at my wedding, and he no
disappoint me! Ah, he was a brave
manl a good man 1 and he know a good
silk same as he know a good sword"
and then she opened her stores and
showed what beautiful things "I buy of
La Contraband iste," telling with each
some story of his ferocity, goodness or
braveryv-i kii ,
The story of "Posson Jone' " (Parson
Jones) a Methodist preacher front West
Florida with a roll of money he has
collected for. "Smyrny Church,"; who
"falls among thieves" in the shape of a
Creole gambler, is drugged, carried to a
gambling house, the. circus and menag
erie, is full both of pathos and humor.
There is a terrible row, in the midst of
which, "wilder, with the cup of the
wicked; than any beast, la ' the mau of
God from the ' Florida parishes."
In his arms he bore the tiger, with its
back clasped to his breast, his arms un
der its shoulders and shouted "The tiger
and the buffler shell lay down to
gether." ; You dah to say they shan't
and 111 comb you with this varmint
from head to foot. ' The tiger and the
buffler shell lay down together : They
shelll Now you Joe! Behold I am
here to see it done!". , i
Waking next morning in the "cala-
boza" the good parson is horrified at his
back sliding. How be gets out, recov
ers his money and returns to "Smyrny"
confessing himself "a plum fool" from
whom ."the concert had been jotted
out," should be told by the author to be
fully appreciated. In "Madame Deli
cieuse'Vwe have the real Creole lady,
the only one portrayed in the two vol
umes. : The way "m which she winds
her old admirer, General Villiyicencio
aound her finger and ends by marrying
his son is truly delicious. , .
The world into which the author
leads us is truly an unknown world to
most of his readers, but so life-like are
his characters that they are not pictures,
but persons whom we feel sure we have
known, or should know did we but
meet them. .
