AS d matter of course, all The balRng and
offices will be closed business generally

porton,f not all, Of the population, will feel dis 1
posed to observe tho as holiday, in some man
ner OF other For the benefit therefore, of those who
have not yet decided what to DOVE present pro-
grane of the different celebrations and excursions
that aie to take Place
AT morning noon and night national salutes will
he fred on the public squares; and our citizen sodi-
cry will, during the forenoon, join in . patriotic
parade. Firing Of cannon is the throbbing Of Uncle
Sans heart and military parade is the flow of his
blood 50 the one will be worth hearing and the other
worth seeing.
The elegant lakeendshole packet Creole, Capt
Nelson will leave Mineburg in the morning for that
delightful watering place, Pass Christian, The extra
inducements to patronize this excursion, are that
Capt Charley Dreux's handsome, well,driled, and
lively company Of National Guards are going along
to stay at the Pass until Sunday night, and return in
the Sunday morning mail-boat. Wherever Company
show themselves, there is to be excitement,
joyousness and mery-making. Tonight, at the Pass
Christian Hotel there will be grand ball for tickets
to which we return our compliments to the popular
hosts It will thus be seen that great inducements
are offered to patronize the Creole. Those who wish
to CO. must rise early, and be at the Pontehartrain
depot at halfpast seven O'clock otherwise they will
| "be in time to be too ate.nS
Those who wish to uXurate in the shades of Mande-
VILE Lewsburg and Madisonville and parake of the
good cheer and bathing Of those places must leave in
| the nine o'clock Carroton and Lake train Of cars.
The fine lake packet W. c. Young, Capt. Hoffman,
will be in waiting for then and will contribute her
share to the days enjoyment.
! Several Of the fire companies, we learn, intend
spending the day at Proctorvle, on Lake Borgne.
i The place abounds in cool shades aud breezes, and
i good fish and bathing. The cars leave the corner
of Eysan Fields and Good-children streets, at ten
o'clock.
{ For those who wish to make up small parties and
4 visit parts of the country where nothing public is
i going on, the jackson and Opelousas railroads offer
great inducements. The Opeousas cars leave the de-
pot at Algiers at hepast seven O'Clock, and return
in the evening. The jackson cars have no morning
train announced, but they will doubtless have one to-
day, the same as Sundays. Should they not, the
regular train will leave in the afternoon at hapast
/ three O'Clock; and those who go can spend the
night at Osyka, where there are good accommoda
I tens, and return the next morning.
IT The Washington Artillery-a company Of which
our city has just reason to be proud--after parade
will go on target excursion, winding up with pic
mic in the beautiful grove at Greenvlle Many good
things will be furnished for the corporal man, and
doubt there will be flow Of the intellectual at the
same time and place. They understand how to do
4 such things about as well as any company we know
Of. We return thanks for their invitation. u
So much for the attractions out Of town now for
those in town.
4 The Ladies' Temperance Society of the Third Dis
trict intend holding grand picnic and cotillion par
ty in the shades of the Mccarthy Plantation which
is but square or two beyond the lower terminus Of
the Royal and Charities street omnibns lines, where
any one can go at any hour of the day. 1t will be
conducted the stricest principles of temperance
and for those who look not upon the wine when it
is red it is just the place for spending delightful
and rational day. We are of opinion however, that
a great many who 10 sometimes look upon the wine,
ETC., will be there, well content to forego their cups
for the more refined pleasures of the occasion. The
lady managers will please accept our thanks for
| supply of tickets. 4,..
There will be a Sunday School celebration in the
Methodist Church of the Rev. Mr.. Joy, at the corner
of Moreau and Enghen streets, in the Third District
1t will commence at 10 O'Clock; and whilst it will be
special treat to the friends of religious education
it will, as an exhibition offer attractions to every
body, Weare under obligations for an invitation to
be present We do not know whether there are to
be any other religious celebrations.
The ultra stay-at-homes, honselnads, and children
will be treated to concert of instrumental music in
the evening, on Lafayette Square; which occasion
there will be charge at the gates, any hat pass
ed round; the city fathers having generously con-
Guided to add that much to the eXctements Of the
day.
Those who feel like going as far down as Milneburg
by the sunset train, will find Mr.. Lehman and his
famous band stationed away out in the lake at the
end Of the wharf and will hear him execute one of
his most choicely selected programmes. There, no
charge will be made but each visitor will be left to
I contribute according to his means and sympathes
and the proceeds audably designed for the re-
lief Of the sufferers by the late terrible foundations in
France, we know that one will come away without
contributing something. 1t is very delicious to sit out
on the wharf, after sunset, nhalng the breezes smo
king cigars, looking at the stars, and drinking in
Lehmann's music. We have tried it, and speak
knowingly.
We have to acknowledge the receipt of divers and
sundry invitations to private dinners and blow-outs
which we accept at wholesale, and will endeavor to
honor; for we believe in the Glorious Fourth being
celebrated on the largest kind of scale. We will
leave home this morning with the most implicit re
lance upon our numerous friends, that they will take
good of us, and hold themselves answerable for
our safe and sound condition and whereabouts in the
evening
Before closing, we must not forget to MENTION that
the Algeines intend to keep up the Fourth till TO-
morrow night, when grand bail will come off at the
Pavilion Garden. It will be for the benefit of the
/ Mechanics Association of Algiers, and WILL we
doubt not, be handsomely attended. Thanks to the
managers for.invitations.
And this ends our programme.
