CHURCH IrEMs-This evening at O'Clock in
ST. Paul's church. (Episcopal corner of Camp
and Gsiennie Streets will be inaugurated series
OF lectures on "Our Liturgy and its History"
The lectures are 20 be delivered by Rev. Mr..
Adams, rector of st. Pauls church, and from
what we have heard of that gentleman's fine
abilities and scholarly attainments, they viii
prove interesting not only to church people bat
10 others who may feel any interest in the subject
to he discussed.
We learn that Rev. Herman C. Duncan, a young
and talented minister. has been called 10 Emanuel
Church (EpiscOpalian) in Jefferson City. This is
small church, but has every element in it for a
large increase, both in its congregation aud its
capacity for doing good. We congratulate the
parish on its good fortune, aud wish Mr.. Duncan
all The be desires in his efforts to do good.
The call dates from January LIST next, but Mr..
Duucan is now in charge of the parish.
SOMETHING PLEASANT IN CoMTEMPLATToN.-We
learn that the ladies of Calvary Church intend
giving promenade concert at Odd Fallows' Hall
next Thursday evening, the proceeds to be applied
70 the relief of the poor Of their parish. II any
Thing can enhance the glow of pleasure one feels
in relieving the necessities of others, it is the
knowledge that his aims find their way to proper
Obieois. On this score he may well feel secure
for the fair almoners Of Calvary, from past expe
rience, are well qualified 10 bestOw his tribute
and by their kind words and cheering smile add

L. GoTTHIEL, ESQ.,, late the commissioner from
Louisiana TO the Paris Exhibition. land the best
commissioner he was from the United States,)
the first who suggested 70 the mayor the idea
Of sending copy of part of the archives of the
city, elegantly bound, to the commander of the
Spanish corvette lately anchored 10 our port.
The suggestion was acted on by Mayor Conway,
and the presentation. through Mr. Gotthiel, was
made in that gentleman's usual kindly and efec-
tive manner. The reply, also,swas made by the
commander OF the Spanish man-of.war through
commissioner Gotthiel.
The TExIAH CLUE held mangnifcent meeting,
lest evening, in the Story Building, opposite the
City Ro,el. TeXian hospitality, hospitality
which has no limit, was displayed almost to its
full capacity. The utmost cordially peTvsded
the assembly, and Wit and good fello wship were
never more IN favor.
The officers of the Texian Club are Judge A.
G. Cantey, president; j. I. Ward. first vice pres
ideDt; Il. Hotchkiss, second vice president; A.
T.. Pierpont, treasurer /; ID. E. Scruggs, secretary
Among the gentlemen present were General
Majors, Major Holcomb, Col. Frank Bartlett, and
a great many others of our good citizens. Ad-
oreests were made by several gentlemen, and
al Of them were received with great applause. If
the reporter of the CRESCENT makes no more &C.
curate or ample report the Texian Club must re-
fer the fault to the excess of their kindness.
THE RAILING AROUND LAFAYETTE SQUARE is at
last undergoing repairs. For more than two
wears now This bad been blotch aud ar eyesore
TO the people of New Orleans. In all the changes
of administration with which the city has been
blessed in that time. il was not till the present
government assumed the reins OF power that a
thought given 10 this needed repair. The brick
work has been built up and the granite will sooa
be ready to be reaid. Then the iron railing will
be put up, and once more Lafayette Square will
be what 1t once was. lt has been so long 10 its
disfgured state that a return 10 its normsl per
lection of surrounding will make Lafayette
Square seem strange in the eyes OF the clhzens.
