But if any of you get arrested, don't blame Us
for not giving you fair warning. The fact is that
the police intend interfering to-day with the usual
street fun of Mardigras. The order was issued
yesterday, that all the day police shall to-day ar
rest all persons who come out with masks and -four
| bags, and attempt the usual nonsense of Shrove
Tuesday. The reason of this is, that for several
| years past Mardigras has been marked by excuses
on the part of the street maskers and rnunlrners,
such as Touring citizens in their everyday dress,
and getting up scrimmages in the stone throwing
| and knify way.g
Therefore. We Inaskers and mummers, beware Of
the police to-day.

Why THEY SANG.-Parson Brownlow got of tn.
following. perhaps in the Knoxville Whig, perhaps

A stakeholder in one of the Southern States die,
after long spell of sickness, and being a piou
man he arrived at the gate Of Heaven, and foun,
| he was preceded a few minutes by an Abolitionis
| from the North of the same name though strange
to him in the world. The Apostle Peter had ius
let the Abolitionist into Heaven, and the slave
| holder, who stood without awaiting his turn wa
4 enchanted and perfectly carried away with In
sound Of angels voices and sweet musical instrr
ments which were hailing the entrance of til
Abolitionst. Knocking in his turn the slayeholde
was also admitted, but instead of seraphic sound
| silence reigned!
'How is this?p demanded the stakeholder
Peter, " when an Abolitionist comes here you hay
music and singing, but when STAKEHOLDER come
You are silent" The good old Apostle replied
s.ayehoiders u a come to Heaven every day, wher
as It Is not once in ten years that an Abolitioni
gains admission!' "And besides,'' continued Il
Apostle, : we rejoice more In Heaven over OF
SINNER that repenteth, than over ninety and nil
just persons who need no repentance III
