NatchitOche.

German rogues are not the dulicst OF
rogues. Recently youth, seemingly bak,
ers apprentice, presented at the counter of
a bank in Vienna, a slip which was to ali
appearances the ticket which had drawn
the first prize (S67 ,5OO) in the Brunswick
lottery. The officers of the bank held con
sultation. and sent the ticket to the priDci-
pal manager of the lottery; the presenter,
all this time, keeping up the appearance of
the coolest unconcern, even inviting one OF
the bank clerks out to lunch with him while
waiting the return Of the messenger. The
ticket was certified by the manager, and the
money was paid to the supposititous bakers
boy. He departed forthwith, bearing his
treasure; forty eight hours later it was as
certained that the ticket was a counterfeit;
an exact fac simile of a genuine one which
had been cashed only few hours before at
Darmstadt. How the impostor obtained
cognizance of this ticket can not yet be
known. as he is among the missing.

NOTHING FURTHER.-NO new facts have
been developed in the death of Mr.. +. w.
Perkins and the community still continues
to discuss the subject, citizens being divided
on the question as to how death was caused.
The Jury still stands three for verdict OF
murder and two for suicide with no particle
of prospect that an agreement will be
reached by them. Coroner Creagh will
probably discharge the jury tomorrow. at,
ter which new jury will be summoned and
all the testimony taken down again.

Wesley's Power as Il Preacher.

Wesley's own temperament was rather
cold and he had probably from that cold
and calm nature, and the great self-cOntrOl
and presence of mind which he possessed,
the power to awe. subdue, and thrill an
audience. While Whitetield Oh many occa-
sions preached dissolved in tears, and so
moved vast numbers, the strong and de-
termined will Of Wesley was almost elec-
trical in its influence and even frightflll in
its effects on the assemblages he preached
before. Frequently, when he had con-
cluded his discourse. the whole OF his con
orcgation appeared to be riveted to the
ground, and not a person moved till he had
retired. We have perhaps the best proof
of Wesley's power over an audience, and
the extraordinary effect OF his preaching, In
an incident he himself records in his jour
nal The account of it is rather cOmical to
read. On one occasion IA long wall, built OF
loose stones, on which many OF his hearers
were seated, suddenly gave way and fell
down: it did not produce any interruption
of his discourse, or divert the attention of
his audience. ''NOne OF those who had
fallen" he observes, screamed: and, none
being hurt, they appeared sitting at the
bottom Just as they had sat at the top
1t was evidently more the manner than
the matter of his sermons that moved and
ao;-ated his hearers. His own tempta-
tions were those Of "a cold temperament, and
he never considered any other. His charac,,
terist;c word of approval was lively and
a congregation in a satisfactory state was a
lively congregation, says the biosrapher.
judging from the descriptions OF the scenes
attending his preaching we should use much
stronger language than ''lively'' to describe
if. for we read Of people struck down as with
a sudden blow, and writing on the ground
in commissions and parOxysms OF the most
violent and distressing kind; and only Wes-
lev himself, with the same eloquence which
car,cd these manifest ltiOns of awful excite
ment could soothe and quiet the victims OF
the attacks.

The route of the procession, the names of

We may remark that no celebrations are
conducted with more propriety and attract
more attention than the professions of the
Irish associations of New Orleans. They
leave nothing undone that can give credit

spared in preparations required to make
a grand and pleasing demonstration.
Thus will st. Patricks Day be celebrated
