d Last evening, at Odd Fellows Hall, the Right
Revd Bishop Spalding delivered the first Of series
ofectures by invitation of the Catholic Institute, to
d large and respectable audience at.
The Bishop was introduced to the audience by Mr..
Dnnes President of the Catholic Institute, in few
appropriate remarks, and commenced by stating that
he had chosen for his present lecture subject which
covered the whole ground of modern history-The
Elements Of Modern Civilization. zs y
Il Civilization may be termed a reclamation Of hui
nlanity from barbarsm, and the commencement of
modern civilization was at that period which was
marked by the downfall Of the Roman Empire in the
West. Ill st58 tsI754 ,.st;5ssl=sl l54t as
The lecturer proceeded to describe the pagan civil
ization of the Roman epoch, which knew neither hui
mility, charity nor mercy. We never read in Roman
history of benevolent Institutions nor of any Of the
great and benefcent features which characterize mod
ern civilization. The old pagan civilization was
stern, unyieding, full Of sin, impurity, etc. The tide
Of barbarism, which, for two hundred years rolled
down from the North, swept away the monuments of
this pagan civilization. The Roman soldiers fled be-
fore the destroying hordes, pilage and blood pre-
vailed throughout Europe, and desolaton for hun
dreds of years afterwards; all seemed lost i'll the
overwhelming torrent of barbarism. and all would
have been lost but orthe inyincibe and mperisha-
Bile spirit Of Christianity. Pagan Rome was destroy
ed crushed forever, but Christianity arose from the
tomb of its former oppressor and rolled back the tide
Of conquest, and at that very period, when the de-
stroyer overshadowed Europe, the Christian Church
exhibited the most energetic and unconquerable Vi
tality But for the Christian Church, society had at
that period been ruined, iretrievably ruined The
history of many subsequent centuries was but sue

Il ORLEANS THEATER MASKED BALI Among the
many pleasant social festivities which render the
winters in New Orleans attractive, there are prabably
none more marked for their uniform excellence than
the series Of balls which are annually given by our
Young men at the Orleans Theater. 5I5tj.
The last o The series for this season took place last
evening. Itwas one Of those Creole gatherings Of
loveIiness ana beauty which, during the period of
their DURATION point all other pleasures and are as
gems bedded in gold. It was a grand ball, that had
full flower and prominence among the balls that have
preceded 10 and that assembled from portions of
our own State as well as from many others7-the
rarest loveliness the richest beauty, and the most ex
quiste grace To describe all the dresses and cos
tunes would be to disseet rainbow to give an IN
ventory Of the singular aces there displayed would
1be to catalogue the beauty Of the Southwest pic
ture the eguberant fancy Of many hundred people, OF
both sexes, resolved, as by preliminary mass meet
ing and general convention, to soar SO far towards
The topmost summit Of social pleasure as could be
done between ahe funeral of one day and the birth Of
its successor. The preliminary arrangements were
excellent, throwing the whole house, from the dress
circle to the rear Of the stage into one grand hail.
wherein for d few fugitive hours, flying time was ac-
eompaned by feet flying as feetly and lightly as it
self; the sound of such excellent music could be
procured in no other city, nor here, in any Other
temple. 1T was indeed grand ball, and i'm its EN-
bracing vortex was swallowed up an amount o
pleasure and amusement stlat leads us to hope w
may live to enjoy many more SUCH.
