A crowded house, composed OF our best
citizens, white and colored, assembled at
Straight University Sabbath evening, to
hear the sermon of President Healy to the
students and their parents. The speakers
theme was ga Christian Education
He spoke of the false views of education,
and then defined education to be the .devel-
opment-the harmonious development OF all
of q mans powers, physical, mental and
spiritual; and that any system OF culture
that stopped short of this was one-sided and
defective. He then spoke of the University
as designed to furnish liberal culture. and
that the body. mind and spirit would each be
cared for. He dwelt at length upon the
need of such training at the present day, to
raise up a generation of hlgh-minded and
thoroughly cultured young men and women.
He spoke of the opening fields of usefulness
to the colored people of the South; that
Providence had enfranchised them, and that
to fill these places of trust and honor, Chris
tan education afforded the best possible
preparation. That it was the duty of freed
men not to demand equality, but to earn it;
and that when earned and deserved it would
be granted.
He concluded by showing the relation OF
Christian culture to the bliss Of Heaven
that religion was designed to make men,
and that true man was the best candidate
for Heaven.
The discourse was given without notes
and held the audience for nearly an hour.
It was an exhaustive discussion OF the theme,
and and must have done great good.

SO fashionable has it become to pack up
and travel when summer comes. that not
withdrawing the reports that reach US by
telegraph of the extreme heat in the North
and West, many of our people are daily leav-
ing by railroad, steamship and steamboat to
experience perhaps more lheat and less
comfort than is to be enjoyed in New
Orleans. The daily showers with which we
have been visited for some time past not only
have the tendency to keep down the dust
and cool the atmosphere, but are causing
US to have most bountiful supply of fruit
and vegetables Of all kinds. New potatoes,
green peas, green corn, tomatoes, egg plants,
and snap beans, have been so common in
our markets for weeks past, as to create lit
tie or no notice at this time. The fact. is
they, like every thing else, may be said to
have had their day, and now have to give
way to greater novelties: The same can be
said af Japan plums, strawberries and
blackberries. Peaches, figs, water mel.
Ions, canteloupes, apples, pears, plums,
and a long line of fruits too
common to mention-such as bananas,
pineapples, ,etc.-are now to be found here
in great abundance. If fresh meats have
been q little scarce at times, in consequence
of the war and rumors of wars among the
butchers, policemen, lawyers and slaughter.
house companies, the United States and
West India Fresh Meat and Fruit Company,
it seems, will most likely put stop to this
little annoyance in the future, and give US
fresh meats of superior kind to what
we have been using, and at much less
cost. Everything. in fact. seems to be grow
ing cheaper but tickets in the Louisiana
State Lottery, and they are remarkably firm
in price, from the fact that many persons
have stumbled of late upon lucky numbers,
drawn their prizes, pocketed the proceeds,
replenished their wardrobes, packed their
trunks, and, to be fashionable, have gone
on travelling tour. Well, there may be
some enjoyment in the thought OF being
able to leave here, but we feel satisfied that
from all that is left behind there will be
more enjoyment in returning, if it is only to
have another chance in the lottery.

The State Register, the official journal of
Jefferson parish Saws:

The State Register, the official journal OF
Jefferson parish, says:
As convincing evidence OF the ruin the
is safe to say there is five times as much
railroad building at present going on in
Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia as there
ever was before. This is decidedly ruiDous.
1t devastates the backwoods and destroys
IGNORANCE. The crossroads grocery is be-
ing starved out. Village demagogues no
longer bewilder small and ignorant commu-
mites. Laborers are brought into the South
from wherever they can be found. An ad-
yertisement before US in Cincinnati paper
wants one thousand men at one dollar and
seventy.ive cents per day to work on the
road between Meridian, Mississippi. and
Chattanooga. There are four thousand men
digging, grading, and delving on that ROAD
to ruin the country still further: We shall
soon have a Republican railroad from San
Antonio. Texas, via New Orleans to New
York, Then the State will be damned.

A NEW STREET CAR.-There is new mo-
tive power for propelling street cars now on
exhibition in the rotunda Of the st. Charles
Hotel, which is destined to create radical
change In railroad travel.
The model is small but admirably con-
structed car, the machinery Of which is all
suugly ensconced under the floor of the
vehicle; and the power which moves it is an
elastic rubber band, which is wound up to
certain tension. The winding up is done
with an appliance similar in appearance to
the brakes used to stop mule or horse car.
The process of winding up can be per-
formed while the car is in full motion, and
with little exertion, by the driver.
The writer, with several friends, called,
last Saturday, to witness the working OF
this remarkable piece Of human ingenuity.
Without any parade, the inventors wound
up the car, placed it on the floor, and by
simply moving tiny lever, as one would
move the tagging minute hand OF watcn,
presto the marvellous little model started
off. at the rate of Eve or six miles an hour,
to the opposite side of the spacious ROOM
When it reached the other side it was
stopped, the lever was turned, and it started
backward with the same ease and prompt
tude as it had gone forward. The eye of the
spectator is surprised and delighted at the
sight of compact car, without any visible
means of propulsion, travelling regularly
and rapidly to and fro, and controlled by
the slightest movement of the lever. We
saw it move with rapidity across the room.
then at q moderate gait, and then again at
q snails pace.
The inventors of this machine are Messrs.
Solomon Jones and b. Terfoth, OF New Or
leans. They estimate the entire cost OF
.machinery for full-sized car at $500, guar
nteed for three years without need OF re-
Sair. The machinery, excepting the rub
s1Ar. can all be made in this city-in fact, .
xnat- has been already completed at Leeds

The inventors invite the. public to visit

invention.
