LAYING OF CORNER STONE.
Home Missionary Association.

Yesterday afternoon the corner stone OF
the new hall OF the Home Missionary Asso-
citation was laid by the Eureka Grand Lodge
of Ancient York Masons, with the usual ap-
propriate and impressive ceremonies.
The hour appointed was half-past four,
and at that hour large number Of people
had collected. Some time after the Eureka
Grand Lodge arrived on the ground, pre-
ceded by the Customhouse Band. The
work of laying the corner stone was then
performed by Grand Master OscarJ. Dunn,
with the appropriate ritual, and the obla-
ton of corn, wine and oil, after which the
the orator OF the day, Hon. Henry Birch,
delivered an appropriate address of about
half an hours length, the purport Of which
was the duties and Obligations Of Masonry
to succor the helpless. At the conclusion
of the address, the usual collection being
taken, the members of the Lodge formed
into line of march, preceded by the band.
The new hail, of which the corner stone
was laid, is being erected by the Home
Missionary Association. This body was
organized in the year 1851, under the
auspices of the First Presbyterian Church
of New Orleans. The present president OF
the association is Hon. r. II. Isabelle, j. Saun
ders, Esq, being vice-president.
The building about to be erected will be
two-stories high, and will consist Of two
halls, one above and one below, each fifty
feet long by twenty-one feet in width. The
building, when finished according to the
plan, will present fine architectural ap
pearance. 1t will have a gallery in front
and will be surmounted by a cupola
| The timbers are unusually strong. and thu
work will be a credit to the builder, Mr.
William Arms, who has erected so man,
fine buildings in different parts of the city
Mr.. Raymond Massena does the brick work
The hall of the Home Missionary AssOcia
ton will be a credit to that portion OF tn
city where it is situated.

Some transactions in bank stocks and
bonds took place yesterday, but, as usual,
they were on private terms" The con-
dition Of the money market has dimin-
ished the regular demand for these secu-
rites, and parties compelled to sell must
accept prices that are considered too low
to be reported. This squeamish reticence
really hurts trade more than it helps it.
Fair and full quotations are necessary to
enable any one to know anything definite
about the condition of the mar
ket and now, under the secret
system, the brokers themselves, and
much more their patrons, are kept in the
dark about fully half Of the streets bust
ness. If this dark lantern system is
really desirable, and protection to those
who are interested in stocks and bonds,
surely the Brokers Board never should
be called together again. 1t is Just
as important to know what is going on
now about prices, as it is when the bust
ness is larger. The uninitiated are at the
mercy ofthe knowing ones while sales are
| not disclosed The thing is too plain for
any argument.
The following sales Of city bonds took
place yesterday: Sl400 and $500 seven
per cents (old) at 70, and $4,000 do. new
| at the same rate. One would, by all
h. iaI m q
difference in the price of these two classes
of city securities, if, for no other reason,
from the fact that the coupons Of the old
bonds are payable SO much sooner than
the new. City ten per cent bonds are quo
ted at from 95 to 951 500 new State
warrants brought II, and $1,000 Of the
! same were sold at Is! and resold at 73},
showing a decided irregularity in the
| market. SIS was offered for 200 shares
of Slaughterhouse yesterday.
The stringency of money continues to
| prevail, to the serious annoyance OF Dor
rowers. On hrst-class business paper
from 1! to p z cent per month is
paid; with collaterals, the rate is from
IT to Il. Mortgage paper yields from
ten to fifteen per cent. Capitalists have
fine chance while these figures are the
rule, but lenders are particularly cautious
just now.
The New York kilograms Of yesterday
gave us the following quotations for gold
At ten, 117S; at half-past, 117s; at noon
1165; at three, III. Here offerings o,
gold were more abundant than they have
been of late, but the demand was no
strong, and the market was decided.
dull. Our dealers sold at the price:
given by the aforesaid kilograms, ant

The reward for finding the kidnaDpers of
Nellie Burns, a little three-year old girl,
who was stolen by woman in Boston, and
accidentally found after three weeks search,
is to be paid to James Doherty, who gave
information that he thought he saw the
little girl in the yard of a tenement house
not ten squares away from the Office OF
Chief of Police. Her father accompanied
Doherty to the place, and the lost one was
found. The child was the daughter OF a
merchant, and was kidnapped toward night,
while at play on the street. The excitement
was even greater there than that over the
Digby child here. The punishment for kid
mapping there is ten years confinement in
the State prison.

Notwithstanding the confidence professed
to be felt in the French capital, that siege
of Paris is now improbable, our dispatches
state that the committee Of defense have or
dered that the crops in the environs shall be
destroyed on the approach of the enemy.
An order has been given to evacuate Eper-
nay, and trains going east from Paris will
now run only to Chateau Thierry, instead
of going to Epernay. A glance at the map
will show that Chateau Thierry is only a
little more than half way from Paris to
Chalons.

"Never halo until you are out of the
woods" is q saying that just now confrcnts
us with it's violation. The sea serpent
story is at hand, but it comes from Chic
this time, instead Of from the region Of
Nahant An enterprising earth worm, in
excavating q trench of some sort, dscov-
cred curious bone, and being Of an in
curing turn Of mind, he commenced a
diligent search after the other bones. The
revelation that followed his researches
amounts to a serpent, supposed to have
been forty feet long and six feet in girth.
All this near Dayton, on the upper stratum
of the silurian rock. The Dayton Journal
does not tell us how this leviathan of the
deep came to hunt for its grave in Ohio, but
it does leave US to infer that the gentle rep
tile shuff1ed off its mortal coil in the ut
most tranquility, for it was laid out as
straight and even as if the whole family
attended and composed its tail and fins in
regular order. One singular feature about
the monster whose sad obituary is written
at this late day is, that his stomach was
filled with the bones Of quite large birds,
which leaves us in still greater perplexity
how it ever got to Ohio, and whether
it flew there, or did the ravens feed it
If science reveals these mysteries after
four thousand years Of research, we shall
be deeply indebted to science if we bring
ourselves to believe her story.

TRIAL OF A CAR TRACTIoN.-Wc learn
that a test will be made of the car traction,
or invention for propelling cars without the
aid Of mules, horses or steam, this after
noon at half-past one O'Clock, on the Carroll
ton Railroad, few squares above Napoleon
avenue. This is usually called Beaure-
CARDS invention, and while the general SEN
timent is rather skeptical as to its success,
engineers of undoubted skill are very san
guine that it will fully realize the hope OF
the inventor. The trial will be public, and
interesting, at all events.

If man can make in ten years, from
raising cattle in Colorado, one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars from an invest
ment of six thousand dollars, what an i'm
mense fortune he might gather from the
same sum by following the same business
in the Attakapas region. We put this
problem before the Chicago Tribune,
which is responsible for the Colorado
''cock and bull' story. 1t is admitted
that the Piute Indians infest Colorado;
and as Moss says it takes an average Of
one bull week to each Indian, and as the
Tribune admits that they steal their meat
from Colorado, it looks as though the
claims of Louisiana were about as much
superior to Colorado for cattle raising as a
greenback is to Confederate note The
difficulty about cattle in the Rocky Noun
tains is, that before they can be got to
market man has to sell his shirt to pay
| his ferriage bills.

A man named Davidson, or Richardson,
or something else, has accomplished the
task, in some Western town, of walking
one hundred and five hours, consecutively,
back and forth on plank, taking twenty
eight minutes each twenty-four hours for
medical treatment. During the concluding
hours of this intellectual performance he
had to be kicked and cutfed, and when he
quit he was insensible. Without wishing to
be considered cruel, we ask, would it be
any particular loss to the world at large if
he continued insensible until he could learn
to apply his energies in a decent and sensi-

President Grant carries out his pledges OF
retrenchment to the letter. The official state

2O6,032. The total expenditures were S4lS,-
1850, of which amount Sl26579,o oS was
for the purchase of bonds for the sinking
fund. A most fattering exhibit this of the
