Midnight Celebration oftAe Sons of
Malta.-The first public demonstra-
tion in New York by the mysterious
Order of the Sons of Malta, took place
last night. 1t is said by cotempor-
ary that the Order came from the
East, but whether he meant the East
Indies. Oriental East, or Down East,
we are not informed but certain it
is. if the celebration last night
is fair exhibition of their numbers
and character, it is slim affair. Its
introduction into this city is dated
back about two years, and then by
one of our police captains, who holds
the offic, of G.. R. j. A. The Order
in the United States numbers about
eighty-six thousand
1t is stated that the object of the
Order is the distribution Of charities
and dissemination Of good principles.
All their public paradcsr take place
after sunset. typical of the quietness
of their deeds Of charity, THIS pro.
cession last night was in honor of the
festival Of the Seven Cardinals, which
occurs but once in thirteen years. the
next one being in 1879. 1t was FORM

mon, knights, priests, monks and Oar
dinals, and their faces disguised from
the detection of the outsiders. The
rank and file of the Order were attir-
ed. some in black and some in white
dominoes, and had a very striking re-
semblance to the ghosts and grave
diggers in our metropolitan theatres.
The procession was preceded by q
volunteer escort of young men and
boys, to the number of one hundred,
swho walked in six platoons, each arm
ed with a stick in lieu of a musket !;
then came the high functionsries Of
the Order, with drawn swords then
came the banner bearers and javelin
men, followed by four burly Dutch
men. bearing large book-prob ably
containing the mysteries Of the Or
der; then the brotherhood strung out
in single file, those dressed in black
on one side, and those in white on the
other. About midway marched an
individual personifying Death and
directly behind him was . bier. COW
cred with black, cloth, borne by four
knights in armor. guarded by four 9TH
crs with Yankee muskets. The pro-
cession was accomplished by druia

quite an excitement, and attracted

and through Nassau stree; to Chat

Fourth avenue, and round Union
square back to- the lodge room In
Broadway. where they were dismiss
ed. The procession numbered about
six hundred men. The whole affair
was quite laughable and awusing, and
might with propriety be compared to
triumphal procession in one eE the
many act dramas at the BowerY or
National Theatres,-M, Y Eapress.
