Sunday at st. Louis.


The Philadelphia excursionists were
not pleased with the way in which the
people of St. Louis observe Sunday.
One of them writes to the Inquirer:
Sunday at St. Louis is queer day.
Go to church and try to be as good as
gold, but you can't help being in the
world of work and amusement. The
cars run the same as ever, many of the
shops are doing lively business, lager
beer and dance-houses are in full blast,
and the theater getting double receipts;
out towards the fields the Germans are
having high old time, and down at
the levee steamers are arriving and de-
parting amid all kinds of hustle, and
astonishing your weak nerves by
screeching Yankee Doodle, Oh SUI
sauna, &c, out of their steampipes, as
if to determined to leave no quiet on
earth. The effect of these horsepower
melodies is intensely ludicrous, and
with the accompaniment of high jinks
from a crowd of boys and men who
vary the game of bluff, played in the
open streets, by casual pistol firing at
cats and old tiles, the general absence
of sanity is enough to drive quiet,
moral Philadelphia into fits.

evening has this curious story of the
Majors shrewdness:
"We hear that on Christmas Day
Major Anderson dined formally with
the secession authorities = chiefs-in
Charleston, and was duly carried back
to Fort Moultrie by early moonlight,
apparently very mach overcome by the
good things drinkable set before him.
Those in charge of the steamer posted
in the channel to watch his movements
in the fort therefore thought 1t ,oould
be safe for them to relas their vigilance,
and themselves take Christmas night
trolic, and in the midst of which An
derson and his force spiked Moultrie's
guns and landed safely in Fort Stump
ter. The apparent intoxicatlon OF
Anderson was but feint to have the
very effect it did have" Il. &ta
