THE BASE BALL MATCH.


The match for the base ball championship Of
New Orleans, proposed by the Empire Club and
accepted by the Southern Club, was played yester-
day afternoon, on the Delachaise Ground in Jefer-
son City.
The weather being delightful, a great crowd of
people, including many ladies' assembled to see the
sport. The recent rain had left the ground rather
soft and slippery, and several of the players in
sequence slipped and soled their shirts. The high
est interest was manifested in the game and there
was some considerable betting, at odds, on the
Empires. As the game progressed, the odds rose
higher and higher, and finally reached the pitch of
fifteen and twenty to one, and no takers.
The members of both clubs put themselves to
their best work, and made an exciting display Of
it. The game lasted more than four hours, and re-
suited in handsome victory for the Empires, who
beat the Southerns by 10 runs. The scorers were
Mr.. Hackett for the Southerns and Mr.. Fl. S. Ger
main for the Empires; Mr.. H. Jones, of the Louisi-
ana Club, acting as umpire. The following was
the score made:

The policy of the Emperor Napoleon is repre-
scented to have more than ever tendency toward
peace. considerable reduction of the army of
France and other peace measures are announced.
The Paris contingent of 1850 is to be reduced
from l4a,0oO to 100000 men. Il
Several Of the Paris journals, in commenting

THE LOUISIANA INSTITUTION FOR THE
DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND.
Wa have RECEIVED tie Eighth Annual Report :

We have received the Eighth Annual Report Of
be Institution for the Deaf Dumb and Blind, sub
fitted by Hon. Andrew S. Heron, President of
be Board. The practical work Of the report is
cry neat, the printing being done by the mutes Of
dc Institution in the printing office attached to IT.
recently purchased under the legislative act APP
rased March 10, 1859. The deaf and dumb boys
de,ay great aptitude in acquiring all the branches
fthe art, and prefer the empoymentto any kind of
ecreation. :" Their teachers also find that it fur
fishes most important auxiliary to the department
Of instruction: good scholar and a good printer
can be made Of o mute sooner than it would be
possible to render him either alone"
II is suggested, and the sugg estion is good that
when tho mute pdpils become proficient in the art
they be employed in the printing Of school libraries
for every district in the State No such libraries
now exist in Louisiana outside of New Orleans,
though hundreds Of thousands of dollars are an
nually expended in other States in providing them.
II published by the printing establishment for
nutes, proper school libraries could be cheaply
applied to every school district in the State. We
also commend the proposed plan Of the publication
If regular periodical entitled " The Journal Of
Idncation," which, edited under the direction Of
he Superintendent of Public Education, would be
constant means of communicating with the d.
rectors of the different districts. and prove very
important adjunct to the school system of the
State,
The General Superintendent of the institution
has at his own expense procured one Of the most
extensive fonts in the United States for printing
characters legible to the blind, who themselves
ca compose these types for the press. Appro-
pratons are solicited both for the special purpose
Of properly equpping and getting under way the
printing office for the blind, and also for the gen
eral uses of the Institution And as the suggestions
of the Board of Administrators are wise and theil
requests reasonable, we trust that the Legislature
will regard them fayorably.

BALL OF THE SONS OF LOUISIANA.

The last ball Of the series Of the Benevolent -
-socaton of the Sens Of Louisiana came off at 0dt
Fellows Hall on Saturday night.
It was q glorious affair. The gallantry, lowell
ness and fashion from the Second and Third DIE
tricts, he latter District in particularly never ap
peared ct that hall in more genial humor or more
bewitching array. Lehman's capital band never
discoursed music more sweet the managers Of any
ball or set Of balls were never more active Or a.
tentive; the dancing ct any ball was never more
delicious and no one who Joined in the dance ever
spent q. more agreeable night. The crowd re-
manned to the very end, and the lagniappe dance
was the heartiest and best Of all. Aurora was al
most beginning to brighten the east when the
happy and thoroughly pleased multitude took their
homeward way.
This much We state, upon two very good grounds.
Our dancing editor having succeeded in using nm
self up by participating in the ball at Odd Fellows
Hail. on every previous night Of the week, requested
our local reporter to take his place, and attend TO
the Sons OF Louisiana on Saturday night. Inc
local went. Last evening he came poking into the
office, complaining of " information in the heels
and with the right shoulder Of his coat oil white
with pearl powder. All we could get from him
was an incoherent mumbling about several angels,
one in yellow, one in white, one in pink, and one
in black and red, who had aided the managers in
taking him through also, something about funny
maskers, and one splendid Lord Dundreary, who
not only dressed the character bnt acted it out to
the mirth of everybody
He also had something TO say about lovely per
sonaton Of night, in black, studded with silver stars
and a crescent (not this daily on each side of her
pretty head and something likewise about fat
and rosy Gipsy who outwhrled a top and fooled
all the gentlemen by refusing to take their hands
| in the reel.
The success of the Balls of the Sons Of Louisi.
ana this season has been such as to justify the ex-
pectation that the Association will give another
4 series mex. season.

The following bill in behalf of this institution was
introduced in the House of Representatives on
Friday, the 18th instant, by Mr.. Heron, of Baton
Rouge and was referred to the Committee on
Fiannce:
Medical Education In the State
of Louisiana:
Whereas, The people of Louisiana feel deem
interest in che cause Of Medical Education and
Whereas, There are two chartered medical col
leges located in the city of New Orleans, viz The
Medical Department of the University of louisiana
originally the Medical College of Louisiana, which
was organized in 1885, and the New Orleans School
| of Medicine, which was chartered in 1856; and
Whereas, A decided impulse was given to the
progress of medical education in this State by the
establishment of second medical school, as shown
by the extraordinary increase of the medical
classes since it went into operation, the number Of
matrieulates at this time being upwards of 6OO
whilst in 1856 it was only about 225; and
Whereas, The New Orleans School of Medicine
has hitherto received but little aid from the Tegs
lature, whilst its Faculty performing important
services TO the State by the gratuitous instruction
of one INDECENT student from each parish; by at.
tending the wards of the Charity Hospital without
charge, and by maintaining a Free Dispensary,
where medical advice and medicines are given to
about five thousand poor people annually, free Of
charge; and
Whereas, Said School of Medicine is incumbered
with heavy debt, whilst its grounds, buildings
and apparatus are too limited to meet all the de-
mands that may be expected to be made it be-
fore the expiration of another year; and
Whereas, II is expressly ordained by notarial
compact between the members of the Faculty of
said School of Medicine that any appropriation re.
ceived from the State from individuals shall not
be considered as given to them personally but to
the institution under their charge and, IN case of
dissolution, to revert to the Charity Hospital
therefore,
