The FEMALE ORPHAN AsYLUM.-Yesterday
upon the statement of gentleman closely con-
nected with the affairs of the Female Orphan
Asylum, we denied the assertion of the argus
that the institution was illuminated on the
night of the 18th of September The follow
Ing card shows that the charge of the Argus
was true, but inadvertently so:
At special meeting of the Board of Man
ayers of the Female Orphan Asylum, held
Sept II, 1872, it was voted unanimously to in
form the public, through the papers, that the
illumination of the Asylum Sept 18th, referred
to in the Argus of Sept. 18th and 10Th, was en-
tirely unauthorized and unsuggested by the
Managers, having been done by the Matron
without their knowledge or consent, and to the
great regret of the ladies who have the care of
the institution. Per order

the Boston Jubilee will long be remembered,
had a rousing welcome when they arrived at
Havre on the return trip A grand evening
festival was inaugurated, and there was a
torchlights procession, in which sixty thousand
persons took part The authorities at Havre
had arranged that the ''Washington," bringing
the musicians home, should be signaled from
the farthest point at which she could be seen;
and as she appeared, and came up to the DOCKS
about midday, the crowds were packed along
the streets for miles The Havre musicians,
organized into grand company, struck up a
joyous air of welcome; and when the ''Wash-
ington" arrived in the interior harbor, the band
of the American frigate Shenandoah, ranged
on the ships deck, intoned the MarseiUaise
while the officers raised the French flag to the
masthead and dipped three times the Star
Spangled Banner. In response from the WASH
ington came the rattling refrain of yankee
Doodle, and the sailors on the Shenandoahs
rigging were SO excited at this hat they hur-
rahed and cheered until they nearly fell from
their airy Perches. The band then marched to
where it performed the overture to Tampa and
the "Marseiase," and the Mayor presented an
address of welcome. All along the railway line
to Paris the enthusiasm of the inhabitants
knew no bounds,
