Sale of a Slave - incident
in New Orleans.

The New Orleans Bulletin, of the 20th
instant, says: Passing through the Arcade
saloon, we noticed at one of the auction
stands negro girl up for sale, and around
a closely packed crowd that appeared to be
deeply interested in what was going on
Curiosity led us to pause and inquire what
was the case of the apparent excitement.
The bids were going on in a very spirited
manner, and generally at an advance ofon-
ly five dollars at bid, and at every bid
the eyes ofthe crowd would quickly turn in
the direction whence the bids proceeded, the
interest and excitement being, in the mean
time, upon the increase. The girl, bright
intelligent mulatress, about fourteen years
old, was evidently not Indifferent to what
was transpiring. There was no moisture
in her eyes, but they assumed an expression
which indicated that she felt some anxiety
in regard to the result of the sale, which is
not generally the case. As the bidscame near
a thousand dollars, the excitement became
intense, ard as that figure was called,
spontaneous hiss was heard from one end of
the room to the other, followed by yehe-
ment shout of Turn him outw "Turn him
QUIT" A rush was made for the door, the
hammer had fallen, and the girl also, into
the arms of-her mother, who had become
the purchaser. The explanation of it all
was that the woman had been freed by her
owner, and had earned money to buy her
child, the mulatress in question, and being
avery valuable servant, several persons to
obtain her, but all of them, with one ex-
ception, had pledged the mother that they
would not bid against her, and they honor
ably kept their faith. 1t was the conduct
of this one, who was bidding against the
mother, which so excited and exasperated
the crowd ON the occasion. The man made
good his escape; fortunately so for him,
we think, as We heard sundry expressions
about "Lynching," &c, as the crowd came
back to talk over the matter. The mother
was so much affected by the joy of having
succeeded in retaining possession of her
child, that she swooned away and was car
ried out of the saloon. We may add that
the sale was succession sale, and was not
designed to be anything more than nomi-
nal, and nobody intended that the mother
should be deprived of her child. ; fr 20

TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO
CHAR1rY.-A few years ago a gentleman
who had made fortune at the South and
retired to the quiet of private life at Nyack,
one of our lovely Hudson river villages, had
his sympathies enlisted by reading some Of
the accounts ofmisery in the Five Points
of New York, and the labors of Mi. Pease
as a missionary, came to visit the House Of
Industry established there, and was so well
satisfied that he left his check for Slo0.-
Subsequent he made donation of 81, 600
to the House, out Of his abundance; and
now we are Informed that, by his will, he
has left the munifcent sum Of $20,000. to
the Institution, and $4,000 for the personal
benefit of Mr. and Mrs. Pease.

ANCIENT CHURCHES IN PHILADELPHIA.
The oldest church in Philadelphia is the
Gloria Del, which was erected in 100, on
the same site as its predecessor, which was
built of logs, and served the double purpose
of place of worship and defence against
the Indians. Christ Church is where
Washington and Franklin worshipped. 1t
was also at first log building. The pres
ent edifice was finished in 1853. Its chime
of eight bells was brought by Capt. Bud
den from England free of freight, and, in
compliment to him, rang out joyous peal
on his arrival. The good "Quueen Anne"
presented part of the communion service in

Dress i'm the Thirteen tn
Century.

The writers of the thirteenth and four
teenth centuries bitterly complain of the
extravaganza and luxury of dresses and
fashions at that period As this has at all
times afforded matter of satire and adima-
diversion, such censures would not demand
particular attention were their business not
established by particular statements. Mat
thew Parir states that at the marriage of
the eldest daughter of Henry Ill. of Scot
land. in 1851, the King of England was
attended, on the day of the ceremonies, by
thousand knights, uniformly dressed in
silk robes, and the next day the same knights
appeared in new dresses no less splendid
and expensive; and, in following year,
Il is stated that Sir John Arundel had no
fewer than fifty-two complete suits of cloth
of gold. This costly material, which is
scarcely now an article of European con-
sumption, though in considerable use among
the splendid barbarians of the East, is men-
toned in one of the close rolls for 1914,
when Edward, the son of Otho, is eomnan,
ded to buy cape ofred silk, with a broad
orfrais, well embroidered with gold, or 10
have one made in all haste if he cannot md
ono to buv. In 1904, King John sends
orect;ne w to Reginald of Cornhill, directing
him to allow the lady, the Queen, his wife,
to have fur ofmenNer, small brass pot,
and eight towels, the cost of which should
be repaid at the Exchequer. An order
upon one tradesman for such different arti-
cles seems to Indicate how much less trades
were subdnided formerly than at peesent.
In close roll, dated November I'd. 1852,
Edward of Westminster is ordered to give
directions, without delay, for cloth to be
made twelve feet in length, and six feet in
bredth the field to be studded with pearls,
and on all parts Of the cloth to be designs
from the Old and New testament. Philip
Luvel is referred to for more particular di-
rections, but no intimation is given of the
purpose for which this splendid cloth was
intended.
