Imposing Cercnnonies

Another Of the many imposing cere-
monies of the Catholic Church took place
m the Cathedral on Monday night 1t had
been previously announced that all the
Catholics Of the city would, on Monday
night. lie consecrated TO the Blessed Nlr-
gin Mary, and the consequence was that,
notwithstanding the rain, mud, and dark
ness, the church WAS crowded long before
the services began. About fifty little girls,
with blue sash and trimmings, white gloves
and wreath, assembled at St Demands
Convent and were conveyed to the church
in carriages. At $50 the little ones were
formed in line In the basement chapel. and
marched through the sacrIsty TO within the
sanctuary. where they were seated during
the services. The sermon by Rev. Father
Henning. was a very interesting and In
.trnctiye one. on the character of the
Blessed Virgin, and the devotion which
Catholics pay TO her, and explaining the
Inference between the homage due 80
Nlmipbty God. and that given by Catholics
Ia the Virgin Mary. At the conclusion OF
the sermon. Father Henning commenced
the act of conservation by dedlcatlng the
children in the sanctuary, they being the
most pure-the innocents as the priest
called them. As these dear little creatures
carried their little hands and eyes toward
the image of the Blessed Virgin, their pure
hearts and souls illumined their connie
uances and made Us think them angels in
deed The young men and women, and
.,tfarNgr,Is fine married and aged, were
dedia,ted in like manner and the services
ended with benediction. The shrine OF
the Blessed Virgin was exceedingly nch

Nashville Provision Market.

The market closes active with an advance of
about &c per pound on most articles under this
head during the week. The relative value il yet
too low between the live hog and its products to
afford the fair compensation for his invest
ments and labor, consequently prices must con-
tinue to advance, at least until a reasonably re-
munerative point is attained. We take the follow
ing paragraph from the circular Of large Western
House:
SIT is sometimes the case that our opinions take
the hue of desires, and to justify an agreeable
conclusion we are uncOnsciously persuaded TO take
rather too much for granted in the premises; in
other words, we all find it much easier to believe
what we think is good for than what we fear is
not Possibly our desire to see prices reach low
er and safer level may have led us to disregard
many indications that would have weakened our
confidence in that belief and may have also led us
to eXaggerate the importance of some Of the argu-
ments in favor of it still we are not willing 70
admit that our convictions in regard to the future
Of provisions were reached under any such intlu-
ence, though we must confess that the course of
the market since we last wrote has greatly impaired
our confidence in the views we have heretofore
entertained; and while We have not gone over
horse, foot, and Dragons" to the believers in
short CROP, we are conscious that Onr forces are
gradually moving in that direction. Since our re-
port Of the 18th inst. hogs have advanced fully
half cent and product in proportion, which can
only be accounted for under an apprehension of
short supply. Packers not only manifest their con-
fdence in the future in buyingup all the hogs they
get at full prices, but they indicate il still more
strongly in refusingto sell anything for forward
delivery, even at present high figures This re-
luctance to operate ahead is something unusual
and Is more remarkable in other markets where
transactions for future have heretofore been heavy
especially in Chicago, the largest pork market in
this country, and Ons in which speculation is the
leading spirit of trade Our Observation aud ex-
peTience have proven TO US satisfactorily that the
people of this country viii buy pork and bacon AZ
any reasonable price; and it is strongly asserted
that if the present crop of hogs should not exceed
900, coo head (Which is outside eGtimstsl, the
