Mr. Cit is the vocation of the BLACKBOARD to

public speaker, when he knows that his position
secures to him immunity from the castigation he
would otherwise assuredly receive.

THE LADIES' UNION FEsrIyAL.-we visited the
Ladies' Festival at Odd Fellows, Hall list
evening, and were delighted and charmed with
ne beauty and novelty of the display The hall
appears like forest Of green, richly ornamerted
with the sweetest and choicest flowers while the
glittering of the brillia"t lights the strains of
sweet music from the orchester and the irresist-
able charms OF the fairest of Ewes daughters
renders the visitor almost spell-bcund On enter,
Ing the hall we come to the table of the First
Baptist Church, where, in addition TO flowers and
fruit, there is display OF fancy articles; next is
the Assembly's Presbyterian Church and as this
IS me 1rst ume this church has taken part In the
festivals, the ladies have endeavored to out do all
others; next the Western PRESBYTERIAN Church
ana these ladies, too, are here for the first time
ana well do they represent that important interest
hCAs 10 Nndptl, never so attractive
now, and well patronized; next the Methodist
Church South table. The display at this table is
very recherche, and the committee representing
the church keep up its past reputation The next
table Is that Of Trinity Church, and here we are
completely bewildered by the brig hit ewes and
winning smiles, and tempted to partake of
their magnificent strawberries We have now
reached the end Of the hall, which is handsomely
festooned with green, and ascend the platform to
the union supper table, which is loaded with all
that would tempt the epicure. From this ssfeast
of fat things we are drawn by a LARGE sion
"Wesley Chapel" and Judging from the crowd
generally to be found in this neig hborhood con-
clude the must be unusual attractions Reyond
this the sixth Presbyterian Church have table
and this has certainly the richest collection of rare
and beautiful flowers in the room. The Island is
molly represented, and that too for the first time
occupying two tables, splendidly arranged and
oountlfulIy laden. The E-street Baptist Church
has quarters, and Judging from the smiling
faces Of the ladies, and the rafting of change he
hind the counter, We guess they are doing a
driving business But we must hasten on In the
Mission School, No. 3, table This school Is now
he'd under the Theatre in Carusi's Saloon which
Is rented by the association. Ii is In a fuurisbinp
condition, and the activity and energy of the lady
teachers are well represented here The next and
last table is the First Presbyterian and though
lv' not least FOR the passerby could not resist the
attractions OF this place even IL all the others had
proved in vain. Fearing that If we attemDted
another round Of the room we should not survive
the temptations, we left the hall resolving 10
recommend all who love the beautiful, the EXCEL
lent, and the good to go to the hall tonight and
every night this week, and encourage those in
defatigable and benevolent ladies in their en-
beavers TO please all and crafty every taste
