ment known as the Phoenix Colieehouse, it has
been suggested by reason OF the numerous fine
| and costly pictures which adorn its walls, should
be in titular way netamorphosed into the Cal
lery of Art.n Dave Bidwell has had the thing pro-
posed to him, but is delicate about dropping the
honored old title Of Phoenix, although the pictures
in his establishment would entitle it to the title of
Gallery Of Art'' far more than any other similar
gallery in the city. The suggestion has been Wag-
gishly made, because Bidwell, the present healthy
| incarnation of the Pennix, has long been known
to have both wings spread, one over the theater=
and the other over the cotfeehouse.

slides up !; the beautiful and richly decorated box
1 office, just within the front doorway; the new
and separate stairway, which aseends only to the
| Museum; the improved ventilation of the house,
and new painting and decorations all through the
interior, etc, justly authorize the change of name

The Academy opens on Monday, with the in

jewels Of the old troupe, and greater variety Of
talent than that or any other minstrel band ever
yet offered to this community, will conspire to

EVERETT GUARD, FOURTH DIsTRIcT.-This large
| gallant, and enthusiastic organization, had a
rousing meeting last night at their hall corner OF
Nayades and Josephine streets. The particular
| occasion OF the meeting was the presentation to
the club of a splendid banner by the young ladies
of the Garden District.
The hall Ga ptch-pine construction, of nearly
log-cabn roughness) was very beautiful inside.
The young ladies had decorated the rear of the
stand with evergreen wreaths and notices on a
ground of white whilst the sight and odor of the
flowers which graced the walls and gas-lights and
the illuminated transparencies which danged from
the rafters, gave the whole sweet floral and pris-
matte glow, to which was added the only possible
| improvements bewitching array Of the pretty
demosees of that pretty end of the town. all in
holiday attire, and an assembage of the maturer
ladyhood, which nearly filed the hall, to the ex-
clusion of the masses of gentlemen who fairly
climbed over each others shoulders at the doors
and windows, to see and hear what was going on
inside.
The banner, splendid affair, (painted by our
young friend John Evans, of Camp street. near
Girod,) represented y liiesiZe portrait of Edward
Everett, wthan appropriate motto, the inscription
of presentation on the back, and any quantity OF
elegant ornamentatiQn.
This banner was presented on behalf of the Young
ladies', by Miss Louisa Howard. whose accompany
ing address was charming. The banner was re-
eeived for the club, with handsome speech, by
Mr.. I. A. James.
Mr.. \. Wallace Hunter, Secretary Of the Club
and Mr. r. H. Read, subsequently made eloquent
and inpassoned addresses, suited to the times and
10 Tie OCCASION and kept up the enthusiasm to the
last.
The Union Club of the Fourth District were pre-.
sent in strong force, with their banners and trans
parencies, making fine show, and adding to the
pleasure and excitement of the occasion.
All that We have described, with the nterludes
Of music, rendered the meeting of the Iiveliest
and most pleasant club meetings we have yet
attended.
The BREcKISRInGE Mass ITEETING.-The BrecEin.
ridge party strained themselves to their last muscle
last night, for their announced grand rally and
mass meeting at Washington Square, in the Third
District.
Knowing th0t the Old Third is pretty completely
sliced ont between Bell and Douglas, with but few
small crumbs left for Breckinridge, we concluded
it would be waste Of time and shoe,leather to GO
down there 10 see their oratorical jubilee: so We
only looked at the down-g0ng procession for oul
idea Of the Brecknridge element which was tc
etiulge on Washington Square-knowing, besides
that the appreciatiye and kindhearted Bell anG
Douglas parties of that District would aid the
Breckinridgers in filling the Square and that with
out charge-more than could be said of many il
the procession, whom common and authentic
fumor said had been hired, like the professiona
