reviewed in Lafayette square.
A large concurse of persons includ-
ing quite number of strangers on visit

We understand that this branch of the
militia was called out in honor of the
memory of George Washington.
A friend Of ours facetiously inquired
ofus whether the second and third would
be called out for the same purpose on the

The Crescent City Slaughter House is
in great danger. The Legislative houses
have passed q bill comforting tho legal
ability on any other Company to erect
Slaughterhouses outside of the limits of
the city, on either side of the river below
New Orleans. One reason assigned is
that the C. C. s. House Company have
failed to comply with the provisions Of
their Charter, in the erection of suitable
and sufficient sheds, etc. for the accom-
modation Of the butchers.
The friends of the old act are plead
ing everywhere against the injustice of
the passage of the New Bill interfering
with their exclusive privileged The

knowing that there is prospect of their
being able to purchase meat, ct prices

It il known that ever since tho estab-
Gshment of the Algiers slaughterhouse,
o combination of butchers, and their
friends and supporters. have been doing
all in their power, to render the enact
mont imperative, ard in SO doing they
have barely kept the market supplied
with meat. The purchasers of meat have
therefore been compelled to pay exhorbi-
tant prices demanded in the markets, or
cease to eat meat. Now We are told
that with the extension Of slaughtering
privileges, there will bo u general supply
and that probably at competitive pri-
ces. -.

uE1HENLY PHOTOGRAPNY.

Fresh information from the next world has
lately been received in London of most IN
teresting character A certain Miss Houghton
has furnished (under spiritual guidance)
series of portraits which are now on view and
for sale in Bond-st. All London is crowding
TO see them; and it is no wonder, as among
the subjects are to be found likenesses OF the
crown worn at present in his new abode by
Prince Albert, flowers from heavenly hills,
the Hollo,y of the Hand Of the Holy Ghost,
and eight separate views of the Eye OF
Jehovah.
"The paintings, to a purely earthly observer,

"marbled paper;" which description assumes
a deep significance when we learn that each
color has its spiritual meaning Thus the
Rock of Ages is expressed by yellow ochre
(delcacy of mind), raw sienna (cOnsdcrate-
ness) madder (adjustingness of temper), and
more than all, brown pink economy. This
medley, which is to several minds pure bias
phemy, is daily studied, we are told, by crowds
of devout believers in Miss Houghton

Our spirits, it is true, have devoted themselves
lately to pictorial art, but it was rather in
Photographic line. They have been going
about through Ohio and among the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch leaving likenesseS of themselves
on street lamps and drug-shOp windows, III
indubitable trOwsers coats, and crlnolne.
Occasionally, the portrait of a ghostly pup, or
chicken, or other spiritual poultry, has been
found with the others. In one house in
Ohio, the spiritual artists varied their
labors at the camera by chipping the
dresses of the women into shreds, tumbling
old ladies down the cellar stairs, and abstract
ing greenbacks TO no incOnsiderable amount

Seriously, we have every cause to think that
art in all its branches is but poorly compre-
hended in the future world. If the Ohio lamp
post daguerreotypes and Miss HOughtOn's
efforts are the best which newcomers Of
aesthetic tastes may look for throughout the
coming ages in the heavenly regions, it is a
pity that moth and dust will be left to corrupt
their Turner's and Geromes here, and that they
cannot be taken with them
Belief in these things is by no means con-
fined to the illiterate or vulgar. Some of the
wisest, most practical, most refined men and
women among us give them answering con-
fidence. How do they explain these mysteries

There is a moral in our Court record TINS

Church undertook some years ago 10 raise
funds by the mode most familiar ana agreea-

time without credit, as well as funds, the
goods necessary for the rattle, to the amount
of $780, had to be furnished by a wealthy
and Jealous lady of the congregations AT the
close of the Fair she discovered an indispOsi-
ton on the part of the wardens to return her
the money expended and thereupOn she sued
to recover it. The church officials do not deny
the fact of the expenditure, but insist that
the lady voluntarily contributed the full
amount. The defense is not less extraOr-
dinary than the act of charity which the war
dens insist on crediting on the lady's moral
balance sheet.
