Midnight Pdrade Of the Sons Of Mnlta.-The
midnight parade of the Sons of Malta, of this
city, took place Thursday night At the mo-
nent the hour Of II was toIled out by the city
bell. and while the echoes of the bells in dif-
ferent quarters of the town were still filling
the cold, clear air of the early morning with
their music, the mysterious s.Sons'' issued
from their lodge, at the corner of 9th and Main
streets. and proceeded to form in ghostly pro-
cesslon. First came two torch bearers "A prizes t.
ly gowns of sombre hue, and bearing on their
breasts the Insignia OF the bgotherhood-a NAL
tese cross. Then came two more monks bearing
Transparency, on which .'Charity' was the
most conspicuous word, and following their
footsteps came three banner bearers, he middle
one wearing robe CT red and white, and
wearing q crown. Around the banner were
gathered knights whose armor and helmets
gtittered in the torch-lights priests, with
black and White gowns. mysterious gentle
man in red, and an exceedingly solemn-look-
ing ghost, who enliyened { D the march by the
unearthiy waiting of gong. After this
uniqu ne party followed d loag procession of
ghosts, in white robes, which trailed the
ground. all bearing the mysterious cross on
their bosorns, and having their heads envel-
oped in hoods. In the right hand of each of
these departed spirits was held torch, and as
about two hundred of them s.waiked the
earth'' that night, the scene was very pretty
and worth sitting up to see. Not word did
these happy or unhappy spirits 1--WE are in
doubt which) utter, nor did they deign to no.
tice some OF the suggestions OF the delighted
crowd to the effect III 1t "they had better hold
up their petticoats,'' and "puil of their night
cans"
As the procession passed down Main street,
many ladies who knew of the intended parade,
appeared at the windows, and waved their
handkerchiefs 'enthusiasiicai to the clerical
looking 'Sir K"ights,' as they passed beneath.
At 10Th street the procession tarned TO Broad,
and finally halted in the Capitol Square, un-
der the shadow of the Washington Monument.
There they were addressed By IL "Sir Knight"
who proceeded q few minutes but had slime
called on him by solemn-looking ghost who
seemed to be master of ceremonies. The Sogs
then went TO a supper to which this reporter
could not follow, and he retired, fully ssatis-
fed, that the ]. o. g NJ. is great institution

Condoicet is said TO have attained
the conclusion OF some of his most sb.
struse unfinished calculations in his
dreams. Franklin makes similar
admission concerning some Of his po-
litical projects which in his waking
moments sorely puzzled him. Sir J.
Herschcl is said to have composed the
following lines in dream:
Throw thysclf on thy God. nor nock.him
with feeble denial;
Sure Of his love, and, oh, sure Of his mere,
at last;
Bitter and deep though the draught, vet
drain thou the cup Of thy trial.
And in its healing effect, smile at the Bit

The following paragraph from the
n. o. Crescent has peculiar interest
for shareholders. The Crescent. in it's
zeal for slavery, proposes to reduce
the value of that species of property
by 80 or 40 per cent. 1t says:
about three years ago, the ener-
getic armed interference Of Great Brit
ain compelled the Government of Bra
zil to practically recognize treaty stip-
ulationS providing for the suppression
Of the African slave trade, and it then
became exceedingly difficult, if not
impossible, to land cargoes on Brazil
ian territory, and few if any slaves
have since been imported, the author
tiles no longer winked at evasions OF
law. A friend who has just returned
from three years civil engineering
sojourn in the empire, gives us some
interesting information as to the effect
Of the suppression Of the trade in slave
property in that country. From prices
ranging from S4O0 to $500 for good
hands, the quotations have gone up to
about the same rates that rule in this
country, within less than three years
This fact gives us some data from
which to reason the results of a reopen
ing and vigorous prosecution of th'
slave trade between the South anc
Africa, supposing that it ever shoult
be. A thirty-fve to forty-fve pc
cent. reduction in the cost Of slaves
might be reasonably calculated on
and this would place negro labor with
in the means of thousands of small
agriculturists, or would-be agricultur
lists, who can not now command it
and the consequence would be an in
calculable development of the product
i've availability of the South, check
ing to the tendency to monopoly o
slave labor by planters of capital
