The Eighth OF january.

Just fortythree years ago to-day, occurred the
Battle Of Chamette an event which 1t Is the pecu.
liar duty and pride Of New Orleans to remember and
celebrate an event which has been celebrated with
pride every year since and event which will con.
tinue to be celebrated long after those engaged in
today's pageant shall have gone to their final rest.
We need not dwell upon the features Of that great
battle. Everybody knows that It wat the last dread
full blow given the British lion American soil and
everybody knows that If there had not been victory
in that blow, our fair city would have been Of
riot, robbery, rape and pilage, unequalled by any
thing in the history of civilization. The Infamous
watchword Of "booty and beauty was what nerved
desperate horde of soldiers rendered still more des
perate by long impoverishment and privation upon
sea and land to the daring assault and the imsgina
tion fairly recoils from the contemplation Of what
would havefollowed had not American skill, courage
and nvincbility, confronted them and laid them low
field Of blood. In contemplating the great and bril-
liant victory Of Chalmette, we must not forget to
think Of the horrid consequences which would have
followed, had the victory been on the side Of the
enemy. Looking at it in this way, none can fail to
remember the Eighth Of January the greatest Of all
days in New Orleans fail to join in the celebration
Of that day whenever it comes round.
Preparations have been made to celebrate to-day on
an unusual scale and the celebration Will be much
enhanced py tne presence ana paftlcipasonl IN y Of

AN EXCITING CHAsE.-Forty policemen visited the
Back Bay in Boston, to put stop to skating in that
locality on the Sabbath. The ice was, cleared in
moment, with single exception. One unterri6ed
individual boldly refused to YIELD and set at nought
all devices to secure him. He skated like the wind,
and favored the helpless officials with an eccentric
series of rare and brilliant evoutions Like the Irish
mans flea, of familiar memory he was not where you
thought he was Finally, after repeated unsuccessful
attempts to accomplish their purpose, line was
formed and terrible as an army with banners, the
"blue and gold" dignitaries marched down upon the
defiant skater. He was trapped thirty were more
than match for one-but just at the point Of se-
curing him, after executing one of his most rapid and
bewldering exploits, he dashed through the advanc
ing line, and was safe. Loud applause greeted the
discontinue of the police.

funeral of little babe in New Sharon, remarkably
cheering and suggestive The little one, all beauti-
fully robed for the grave was laid in its coffin on the
morning of its burial. The weeping friends placed
in its little hands small boquet Of flowers, among
which was unopened rosebud of the Rose of Shar
on" The lid was then placed upon the coffin, and
the funeral services performed When after the lapse
of not more than three hours, the coffin was opened
again. and the friends gathered round to look upon it
for the last time, that bud had become full blown
rose while grasped in the cold hand of death. It
seemed as though voice came up from those beauti
fully sealed lips, saying, Weep not for me; though
broken from the parent stem I am blooming in the
Paradise Of God. Millions Of infant souls compose
