TabIeaux Tonight.

Editors Journal:
| have been surprised aud disgust
ed to learn that some of the ladies
and gentlemen refused to have any
thing more TO do with tho Temper
aaee Festival because of the rafting
for silver-ware, sets of china, child
ren's toys, &c. They seem to think
that " Christians should abstain from
the appearance of evil" That doc
trine has long since been supplanted
by the more modern and liberal
theory and practice that " the end
justifes the means" As, however,
these "straight-jackets" have with
drawn their presence and aid, it be-
comes the liberal-minded to rally
with the more enthusiasm to the
support of the Temperance men. l
take pleasure, therefore, in saying
that the drunkard scenes will be repro
duced tonight with real sCiae, WHICH
will be gulped down with as much
gusto as on the former occasion.
Cadets of Temperance to witness this,
must be stationed behind the scenes.
For the benefit of young ladies and
gentlemen, the wine bottle will be
kept in a side room, as on Thursday.
We regret that the supply of cigars
has given out, or they would be served
out by the charming misses, whom
none can refuse. To make up for this
deficiency, however, we propose to
close the exercises tonight with a
dance. Liberal minded Christians
should rally early and enjoy the fun.

HEALTH OF THE CITY.-The physi-
clans pronounce the city to be dis
tressingly healthy at this time, and
such has been It's sanitary condition
during the whole Summer, except for
a couple of weeks during the heated
term in August and September. The
mortuary reports of our cemeteries,
published weekly in the Council Pro-
ceedings, show that the average NOR
tally seldom exceeds one death per
day, and it is often for weeks even
less. This, for city of almost 10000
inhabitants - located, too, on the
river, where sick men are often left
by steamboats-and including, as it
does, all who die by violence or acct
dent, is an exceedingly short list.
There is probably not a city on the
continent of like size that can show
so light a mortality list, or a city
more free from year to year of conta-
gious diseases. An epidemic 3" has
not been known here for twenty years.

Too SLOw.-We cannot help think
ing that it would be economy on the
part Of the city to have stable near
the Vine Street engine house, and to
keep horses for the sole purpose of
running with the machines. By the
present arrangement, even when the
horses are in the stable, it is at too
great a distance. from the engine
house, and when the horses are out
in remote part of the city engaged
at ordinary work, a still greater de-
lay is necessitated. After the fire
was discovered yesterday on Second
Street, the horses were ridden by the
fire to the engine house, and it was
nearly ten minutes before the engine
was out to Second Street, at the cor
ner of Vine. 1t is true that their
services were not required, but had it
been otherwise, the delay would have
been as great. Itrequires but four to
six minutes to raise steam In the en-
gines, and in that time the engines
should be in position to commence
work. A delay of five minutes might
often prove disastrous. The horses
should always be as near the engine
as possible at all hours, day or night.

A MYSTERIOUS FIRE. - Between
three and four o'clock yesterday after
noon, the attention of people passing
on Second Street was attracted by
volumes of smoke issuing from the
third story window of the saloon and
boarding house of j. Schorle, between
Main aud Sycamore, known as the
Gambrinus House" The alarm
was given, and large crowd collected
from ali quarters, as usual, and fire
bells were soon vigorously rung.
Persons ascending to the third
story found small back room filled
with sitting smoke, and one of the
beds, trunk, and the Dashboard of
the room on fire. The flames were
speedily extinguished, but the whole
upper part of the house was filed
with smoke, that continued for some
time to escape from the front win
dows.
A minute examination induced the
belief that the fire originated in the
trunk which is said to belong to the
man who is selling patent hooking
birds'on the street corners, and this
theory is confirmed by the fact that
just previous to the discovery loud
explosion was heard in that direction
The whole of the inside of the trunk
was charred, and nearly destroyed.
The affair is clothed in mystery and
would bear careful Investigation. Had
the fire got fair start, a destructive
confagration must have been the re-
suit, as the whole block is compact
/ ly built up, and in the present dry
weather, when water is scarce and
everything in a highly infamable con-
dition, it might have involved the en-
tire block. ~

ESQ. 1t was encouraging to the LII
brary Association, under whose
auspices the lecture was given, as well
as complimentary to the lecturer. A
more refined and appreciative audi
ence was certainly. never assembled
in this city. Most of the audience
were, we doubt not, disappointed in
the youthful appearance Of the lee
turer, but all, we think, were well
pleased with the lecture. Mr.! Town.
send has the appearance of a young
man of twenty-One or twenty-five
years, has a pleasant, frank counte-
nance, and a fair voice, though his
articulation is not as clear and dis
tinct as we have heard, but will,
doubtless, improve with experience
and maturer age. = ~ @ .s5s|f1
The theme of the lecture was, as
before announced, The Lands to the
North of U.s." For an hour he car
ried his audience with him through
British North America, starting from
the vast chain of Lakes that divide
the two Governments, down the ST.
Lawrence to Montreal and Quebec,
introducing them, by the way TO the
Canucks," with brief illusions to
the pioneer discoveries of the Lakes,
to remarkable historical events con-
nected with the various localities, to
the Notifications of Quebec, to the
manners and customs of the people,
&C., &c, including a rather humorous
word portrait of the Lord Lieutenant
He then conducted his hearers up the
Atlantic coast through the various
provinces, abiding to the wonderful
fisheries on the coast, and incidental
ly describing a whale in a manner
that deeply impressed It on the minds
\ of his auditors. La beautiful Ian
guage he described the iceberg, the
Aurora Borealis, &C., &c.
Travelling up through Hudson's
and Bafins Bay, he penetrated to-
wards the north pole, thence across
through the possessions of the Hud-
son Bay Company, that vast unknown
wilderness, which BE described as
the great slaughter pen of bufalos-
to the western coast and our newly
acquired territory. The lecture
throughout was deeply interesting, in
terspersed with frequent flashes of
wit and humorous illusions. Many
passages were exceedingly eloquent,
some of them approaching the sub
lime. He closed with a beautiful
poetical peroration, referring to the
grand mission Of Sir John Franklin,
and a thrilling panegyric to his de-
voted wife. We have seldom seen so
intelligent an audience so highly
pleased.
If the Library Association con-
tinues to bring to US such men as
Theodore Tilton, George Alfred
Townsend, and DIR. Bowman, who is
announced for the next lecture, they
need have no fears of securing an
audience.
