Town STREET SUNDAY SCHOOL FESTIVAL.
There was brilliant and happy assem-
blage in the lecture room of the Town
Street M. E. Church last night, it being for
the benefit of the Sunday School of that
church. Everything that could tempt the
palate was provided in abundance, and
glorious time was had. Towler's Band
furnished delicious music, and the occasion
was as enjoyable one as we have at
tended this winter.

LoGRENIA.-To-nightt this most extraor-
dinary man makes his first bow before a
Columbus audience, appearing in series
of the most wonderful and complicated.
feats of sleight-of-hand. The Eastern pa
pers are enthusiastic in his praise. The
Pittsburgh papers were especially lavish
in his praise, calling him the best perform
and the elder Macalister. In addition to
the feats of magic, he will introduce his
highly trained birds. cats, &c. Every night
number of val liable prizes will be dis
tributed among the audience.

before negro debating society at White
Sulphur, in Virginia, spoke as follows:-

This is the question now stirring the un-

this community TO its center. We read In
our exchanges where young gentlemen get
surprised by being invited by young ladies
to suppers and dances. They are called for
at their residences, carefully wrapped up
in their overcoats, tenderly kept from TAX
ing cold, are invited to dance, are fiirted
with, kissed on the ely and all that. The
girls, after entertaining them in the high
est style of the art, pay the bills and take
the fellows home. These things we say are
going on in other places, "Why don't they
do them here ?" Maybe we are not posted
as to what is going on in this village. That

WATCH PRESENTATION AT THE DEPoT.-
Last night, George II. Wright, the
popular and efficient General Baggage
Master of the Cleveland, Columbus and
Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Columbus and Gin
ctnnati, Central Ohio Division, Little Mi
amtand Columbus & Xenia, and Columbus,
Chicago and Indianapolis Central rail-
roads at the depot in this city, was made
the recipient OF very valuable present,
from the railroad and express men of those
roads. 1t is gold watch, of the first quail
ty, Howard movement, patent regulator,
eighteen karats fine, the cases richly chas-
. and weighing ninety penny hts. On
the inner case is engraved the legend :
Presented to George H. Wright, General
Depot Baggage Agent, March, 1868, by his
R. Il. friends, j. S., j. P. p, e. F. and C. L.,
committed:
A large number of railroad men and
other friends of the recipient assembled
about ~ o'clock in the sitting room of the
depot, where Mr.. Wright, having been pre-
viously captured, was brought. He was
addressed by James Patterson, Esq, of the
c. C. & G. road, for the doners, as follows:
Mr.. WRIGHT st is with much pleasure
l have been called upon by your railroad
friends and associates to present to you, In
their name, valuable token of their es
TEEN and regard. You,, sir, have been
many years at the head of the baggage de-
partment (in this city, of the different rail
roads centering here. take great pleas
ure In saving, that you have given entire
satisfaction. both to the companies you
represent as well as to the public. Few
persons are aware how difficult is it for any
one representing five different railroad
companies (whose interest is naturally op-
posed to each other) to give satisfaction to
all. You, sir, l am happy to say, have sue
ceeded beyond our expectations. Without
further delay, allow me to present to you,
In the name of your friends and immediate
associates. this watch, and may you in the
future, as in the past, always be on time.
+ Mr.. Wright, taken completely by sur
prise, said: . Js n7sb
p GKNTLEMEN-I have but few words to
say. as this is a complete surprise, and
am entirely overcome. / knew / had
friends but did not think had as many
as see here Tonight. am glad to know
that nv course as railroad man has met
your approval. But 1 can't talk. l am
anything, it's at my expense,
Mr.. Wright has been baggage master at
the depot here for the past fifteen years,
and by his urbanity and gentlemanly de-
pertinent has gained hosts of friends who
will rejoice at this mark of favor. The
watch, as we have said, was purchased by
the railroad and express men of the city, of
f. A. & J.. Lesquereux. and is valued at
about $500. 1t is beauty, and its pr esen-
tition to Mr.. Wright is an evidence of
friendship and good will that gentleman
may well be proud of.

STATE FAIR MATrERs.-The growth of
the State Agricultural Society and of the
importance of their fairs has been very
gradual during the past seventeen years,
but very certain. And its needs have
grown commensurate with its usefulness.
In 1850, ten acres of land were sufficient
for the uses of the fair. In 1867, it required
fifty acres. 1t 1850, it required but $4,000
to fix up the grounds. La 1867, $4,000
were needed. The treasury of the society
is in splendid shape now. 1t is completely
out of debt, and has a surplus of about
$4,000 on hand.

New CONFERENCE.-The counterfeiters
have been very busy of late, and we hear
numerous complaints from various quar-
ters. The Albany Argus speaks of new
counterfeit twenty-five cent note as being
the best executed of any bogus money ex-
tant, and calculated to deceive the expert.
The paper of this note is thicker than the
genuine, aud the green on the back lighter.
The vignette of Fessenden is, at first glance
fully as correct as on the genuine, but a
close scrutiny shows that it is good wood
cut, and not steel ennraving.

BROAD eAueE RAILROADS.

While the managers Of the Erie railroad
are endeaVoring to extend the broad gauge
to Chicago it is said that the Ohio and Mis-.
sissippi, one Of the three great broad
gauge roads in the United States, have de-
termined to adopt the narrow, i. c. the four
feet ten inch grade. 1t appears that
the road in question is now going
through its second bankruptcy, and
that change Of the grade is looked upon
as the only thing that can now make that
route a success. The Atlantic and Great
Western has gone into hopeless bankruptcy,
and it is said that Commodore Vanderbilt's
recent departure for Europe will probably
have something to do with the future of
that magnificent bat unfortunate enterprise.
It seems to be granted that the Erie will
soon come under the same management
that has made the Harlem, Hudson River,
and New York Central 80 successful. fit
be established that the broad gauge can not
compete with the narrow gauge roads the
sooner the Erie and Great Western adopt the
plan Ofthe Ohio and Mississippi, the better il
win be for them. Travellers who have been
accustomed to their wide and commodious
cars will, however, regret the change.

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL,

No other political event in the history of
the country has excited more interest than
the impeachment trial, and the very acme
Of interest and excitement was reached
at y O'Clock yesterday when the vote of
the Senators was to have been announced.
The illness and absence Of Senator How
ard is given as the cause Of the postpone
ment of the vote until Saturday next. As
a great deal Of material is Just new being
manufactured INTO planks for The
Chicago platform, and as at our
great distance from the theatre Of
operations we can not understand Gil
the moves, the pOsipenement of the deeis-
ion of the Senate may have something to
do with the nominations at Chicago on the
twentieth instant. Both parties seem equally
confident Of victory, Did the Senators a.
Washington, however, understand matters
in the South as well az we do here in
Louisiana, there would not be a shadow Of
doubt as to the result. It is impossible to
predict what will be the effect Of an ac-
quittal for Mr.. johnson himself. The songs
of triumph be would sing from every stump
in the land would doubtless be among the
least surprising.

| lions. Bat the experiences q commHnltles
where free institutions have prevailed for
centuries is worth something to US, and
we should make up our minds to profit by
| it. 1t may be found necessary to make
changes in the whole line OF employment.
Services requiring light work and skillful
manipulation could be performed by wo
men as well as by men. They make good
dry goods clerks, and are we'll adapted to
employment in fancy stores, cOnfectiOn-
cries, boOkbinderies. bookstores, etc.
Latterly, the positions OF teachers
in public and private schools have been
eagerly sought by young women Of re-
fnement and education. In this oity the
number of female teachers is larger than
that Of the males. In New York women
are frequently employed to assist in book
keeping, as lawyers clerks, and similar
positions in which they usually give salts
faction. In that city, according to the S-.n,
the propertionate number of women en-
ployed in industrial pursuits is thirty
to enc hundred men, in Philadelphia nearly
forty-iye to one hundred. In the former
city the number thus employed is said to be
fifty thousand.
They do not receive SO much pay on an
average as men. but as they perform Their
duties as we'll, in positions to which they
are or may become adapted, they are
cheaper. The usual rate is from one.h half
to two-thirds of mems wages. A good hand
can always find employment if it is sought
for. And there are the same opportunities
for young woman to achieve promotion
as there are for young man to rise.
There are some callings in which men
must necessarily have the monopoly.
These are in the carpenter and black
smith shops, foundries, marble werks,
machine shops, in the field, and on the
levees. There are others in which women
are expected to enjoy the same privileges,
such as the millinery and dressmaking
shops, paper box factories, ETC., as well as
in the business Of house servants, nurses,
and the like.
These are not speculative theories, but
the results of practical experience in com
munities that have tried the system for
many years with good results. And we
are satisfied that the present condition Of
public opinion in the South will form a
greater impeachment to the introduction OF
the practice here than any disinclinatiOn on
the part of the Southern women to engage

WASHINGTON, D. C., May s. 1865.
General Orders No. II
], The thirtieth day of May, 1868, is
designated for the purpose of strewing with
flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves
of comrades who died in defense of their
country during the late rebellion, and
whose bodies now lie in almost every city,
village, and hamlet churchyard in the land.
In this observance no form of ceremony is
prescribed, but posts and comrades will IL
their own way arrange such fitting services
and testimonials ofrespect as circumstances
may permit. t
We are organized comrades, as our regu-
lations tell us, for the purpose among other
things, "of preserving ana strengthening
those kind and fraternal feelings which have
bound together the soldiers, sailors, and
marines who united to suppress the late
rebellion What can aid more to assure
this result than by cherishing tenderly the
memory of our heroic dead, who made their
breasts barricade between our country
and its foes. Their soldier lives were the
reveille Of freedom "a race in chains, and
their deaths the tattoo Of rebellious tyranny
In arms. We should guard their graves
with sacred vigilance. All that the conse-
Grated wealth and taste of the nation can
add to their adornment and security is but
q lifting tribute TO the memory of her slain
defenders. Let no wanton foot tread rudely
on such hallowed grounds. Let pleasant
paths invite the coming and going of rever-
ent visitors and fond mourners. Let no
vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages
OF time testify to thepresent or to the coming
generations that We have forgotten as a
people the cost Of free and undivided
Republic.
If other eyes grow dull, and other hands
slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn
trust, ours shall keep il we'll as lorg as the
light and warmth Of life remain to us.
Let US then at the time appointed, gather
around their sacred remains, and garland
the passionless mounds above them with the
choicest flowers Of spring-time; let US raise
above them the dear old flag they saved |
from dishOnor; let US in this solemn presence
renew our pledges to aid and assist those |
whom they have left amoDg us sacred |
charge upon nations gratitude, the |
soldiers and sailors widow and orphan.
il. 1t is the purpose of the Commanderin- |
Chief to 1naugurste this Observance, with /
the hope that it will he kept up from year
to year while a survivor of the war remains |
to honor the memory Of his departed com
rades. He earnestly desires the public |
Dress to call attention to this order, and /
lend its friendly aid in bringing it to the |
