New Orleans, and while here, there occurred
fire in the night. He got up and went; and when
he arrived he found large crowd. He struggled

who formed hollow square, and would let no
one pass. He tried to elbow his way through, but
a policeman roughly pushed him back with his
club, saying: "You can't come In here, my
friend, nor nobody else !" Cur country friend
looked at him and quietly remarked: 80, excuse
me; didn't know this was q prirate fire." and

A DocTRNAL AND RTUALIsTIc VIEW OF THE
Holy EUCHARIST. BY Hon. Geo. s. Lacey,
Member Of the Louisiana Bar.
The objects of this work are well and sue
cincty set forth in the title. The author, who Is
Q gentleman that for many years back has held q
high position at the bar Of State. sets forth,
first, his views relative to the doctrine of the real
presence in the Holy Eucharist. He utterly
rejects the Reconsideration doctrine, but holds
that the body and blood are mystically present In
the sacrifice. This poSlt he deliberately argues,
quoting many Of the ancient writer's to sustain
the ground he takes. Then he discusses the ques-
tion Of how the Eucharist shall be celebrated.
To elucIdate this he again introduces many ex.
tracts from the patristic writings. some Of which
are very interesting. The several liturgies OF st.
James, st. Mark, st. Clement. Malabar and st.
Chrysostone, are all set forth at length, making
an interesting and instructive chapter. The con-
cusion which we draw from the book Is that the
object of the writer has been to set forth in q
clearer manner the doctrine Of the Eucharist and
10 claim for its celebration that msgnacence and
soIemnity which be coltends all former custom
warrants. For sale by Gresham, No. 81 Camp

The CHRISTIAN SABBATH vISD1cArED, AND THE
SABBATH IN ITS POLITICAL ASPECT.
This Is q book which has been written TO prove
that the obligation to observe the first day OF the
week as day Of rest and to keep 1t holy rests
upon every mar. The author-who does not pub
lish his nsme-begins by tracing the observance
OF the Sabbath from ts ordination In Eden through
the various periods Of the ante Christian world,
shows from ST. Paul Why the first day was substi.
tuted for the seventh. Ind closes by arguing that
not only In the matter II the keeping Of the Sab.
bath but in every othfr religious practice, there
should be union of church and state. On this
latter pont-the unidh of church and state-he
insists strongly asserting that he believes that as
long as England "in as official form and with no
heststiDg accents, Acknowledges the royal author
i,y Of Jesus Christ and honors his Sabbath, her
government will be absolutely indestructible."
The book displays great research. 1t Ia written
in clear, rather difuse style, and Is well adapted
TO the understanding Of every one who may feel
interested in the subject of which 1t treats. Fol

While some Of the greatest minds In the world
are now occupied In considering the ways and
means by which the condition Of females who are
forced to labor for their bread might be smelio-
rated, It may appear somewhstpretentious on our
part TO advance the opinion that ct the above es-
Adjustments poor women can obtain an article
which will go farther towards enabling them to be
independent and to earn an easy living than all
the speculations and theories of philosophers North
or South. Mr.. Hedrick, the proprietor, has made
name in this communicated in fact, oil over
the South, by selling always the latest improved
machines at prices within the reach Of the poor,
and at his two depots, Nos. 81 and lis Canal
street, can always be found such an assortment
that none can fail being suited as to kind as well
asprce.
But Mr.. Hedrick's great machineis the "wilcox
& Gibbs" which appears to combine all the quail
ties Of the high priced with the additional advan-
tages of being cheaper and easier to learn than all
others. We are sure that with one Of those vslua-
BILE labor saving machines sewing woman OF but
moderate skill can earn comfortable living by
working only half her time, and rest satisfied, too,
that her work will never rip as long as the thread
remains sound.
At the great Southern sewing machine depots
there can also be found that beautiful and perfect
piece Of mechanism the Elliptic Sewing Ma
chine, - and the " Howe " manufacturing machine,
which will sew the finest tissue paper or cambria
and the heaviest sole or harness leather. In these
establishments will also be found every class Of
thread, needles and other things used on any kind
of sewing machine, as well as detached pieces to
supply those which have been broken. We invite
general attention to his advertisement which oc.
