The Christmas at this popular place of amusement was particularly happy. On Christinas Eve much that was not on the programme occurred. Then Manager Robinson presented Mr. John S. Shorb, his assistant mauager, a fine diamond stud on tbe stage and in the presence of a large audience.

Mr. Shorb was taken entirely by surprise. The curtain failed to go up at the proper time, and he went back to learn the cause. As he walked across toe stage the curtain ran up and Mr. Ed.

Willis met him and presented him with tun stud in a neat and appropriate speech. Mr. Shorb wss very much afleoted, but replied appropriately. When this was over he started oft the stage, and then Mr. J.

U. Moore, the press ageut of tne museum, stepped forward and bandad to Mr. Willis a Hue gold-headed cane to be presented to Mr. Suorb from the attaohes and employees of the museum, as a token of their appreciation of him as a gentleman aud a manager. Mr.

Shorb attempted to reply but could uot bod language to rxpiess his feelings; be broke down and could only thank the people. Business at the museum is good. Tue building is literally packed hourly. A good bill Is promised this week. THE INDIA RUBBER BUDGET.

To the Editor of the Picavune: Among the curiosities of the city budges is its elasticity. In no budget of any city probably is this usef ul feature so pronounced or put to so many purposes. In committee tbe members imagine arbitrary figures, aa Edison might new applications of electricity. They pall in or pull out a few millions with a cheerful air as if only roasting chestnuts. The State Board ot Assessors hve listed as an entirety good, bad and indifferent, the amount of and thoagn all know that mere are in the body of this amouut at least on which no tuxes have ever been or ever will oe paid; and although the guided by the Comptroller's Information that from $1,000,000 to (3 000,000 bad been reduced or abandoned bv the city herself, had lu a BDasm of good sense resolved to go no higher than $125,000,000, yet under the suggestive pressure of a beneficiary department they pulled at their India rubber figures until tne dial marked and finally Sl27.000.000, as they are now being printed for presentation to the Council at its next sitting.

Sydney Smith wittily said that nothing was so liable to be erroneous as facts, except figures, and If he could have had our city budget before him he oonld have safely appealed to it for proof of his seeming paradox. Now what a strange spectacle lioentes afford, yielding so far In iSiS out ot $200,000 budgeted stretched as an available aset for 1887 by the committee to palled back by vote of Couocll to $300,000, stretched agatn by the committee to $250,000 at whioh amount it now stands a waning indorse menu Was there ever such see-saw. pull-in, pull-out work engaged In by alleged busioees ment The amount from markets seems to be a tolerably fixed qaantitv, less discounts, and if Diogenes' and nis men can be kept ac bay will furnish a round amount squarely obtained. Floes, feots and rebates are introduced as yielding $30,000. but $20,000 is a full estimate, and this amount comes from the Reoorders' tines.

We ask the Treasurer to state how much In 1886 be received from fees or from so-called re Dates Let us know. Ground rents are probably fixed by leases or other agreements, bat let the Treasurer aay how much he actually received In 1885 or for ground rents. A poll tax pat down nnder this Goody ear's patent rubber badges at $5000 yields $300. Cemeteries come nearer their mark, perhaps because the people in them are dead and eanuot pull either in or out; but the Instant we come up with the Criminal Sheriff and clerks as furnishing revenue it Is seen that they are alive and turn In less than one-half of what they ara put down for. Ferry privileges ara secured by notes, whioh must be paid, less such discounts as they may suffer by prepayment in view ot the city's often need of cash.

Tbe pounds are valued at $100. Will the Treasurer say that in 1888 tfaey turned In $200 1 The bon bouche of the whole affair is, however, that laugnable Item popularly knowa as Interest and law charges, expected to yield $36,000. Rut $3 1,600 of this amount BBusveome from law charges, whatever that phrase means as aa income, because only $4600 have to date been received as net interest for 186. It is here that the principal bounce and final balancing aet of this fanny budget comes in. This $31,500 Is like the little joker now you see him aud now you don't; pull Dick and pull the other party.

Stewart la tne meantime had come out, and failing to quiet tbe inebriate became engaged in a quarrel with him, daring which Stewart stabbed him. Christopher, after staggering around the yard, fell on the lront sauery, where he was round by Officer Gonzales, who summoned tne ambulance and had him ooavered to the hospital.

His wounds were pronounced painful bat not necessarily dangerous. Christopner8 pistol, a five-shooter, was found lying in the yard with three chambers empty and the other two with empty shells. The police took charge of the weapon as evi-deiiOe. Stewart surrendered at the Suburban Station and waa loosed up.
