HIS ROYAL RICHNESS THE MING OF IhE
CARNIvAL.-This high dignitary held a
state council Friday night, which was at
tended by the entire court. About nine
o'clock his majesty, accompanied by his
lords in waiting. entered the audience
chamber and mounted the throne. lie
looked paIer than usual, as though some
what faded with the immense labors lately
undergone, but still preserved that calm
deme amor under which sleeps the will and
fury of the lion when aroused. All matters
connected with the approaching display
were then submitted to his majesty, who
manifested his gracious assent to the ar
rangements made by the Grand Marshal
of the Empire in the premises. He also
made an affectionate inquiry in regard to
the state of the royal eXchequer, which was
answered by the Lord High Treasurer In
such encouraging terms that his majesty
actually smiled. After this the ceremony
of presentation and kissing hands took
place, which over his majesty addressed
fewswords TO his courtiers concerning their
duties. During the course of his remarks
he alluded in high terms to the loyalty
manifested by his subjects, and the willing
manner in which they had all aided his Ell
forts.
He said that although an exceedingly
mild and unexacting monarch, prone al
WAYS to err upon the side Of good nature
there was one point upon which he wished
TO be distinctly understood, and he trusted
all the gentlemen attached 70 his royal per-
son would take particular pains to make
himpso.
The persons living along the route of the
pageant laid down by the Grand Marshal OF
the Empire should consider themselves not
only highly but exceptionally hOnored; and
that he expects them to display due sense
of appreciation of kingly favor by having
their galleries and houses appropriately
decorated on the occasion OF his reign. ANY
omission in this wise would be surely noted
as a mark of gross disrespect to his royal
person and dignity; and unless the entire
route was appropriately decorated, the
royal pageant of ensuing years would GER
tainiy avoid all such streets and localities.
1t will thus be seen that the persons llv-
ing along the route of the procession have
an important responsibility devolving upon
them, and if they wish to propitiate his
royal highness the King of the Carnival,
each and every one had better take inme-
date steps to have their houses appro-
priately decorated. They must recoilect
that in all well ordered empires, and none
ia more so than that of his majesty of the
carnival. the Kings will is law.

The HOUSE OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD
Again the benevolent ladies who have
charge of this asylum for the unfortunate
are compelled to appeal to the charitable
for assistance. We learn that the lnstltu-
ton is in want of everything except pen
sioners, owing to the dullness of business.
Nothing of moment has been realized from
the sale of articles manufactured by the
inmates of the house. The aid granted by
the State. limited at best, came in the shape
of warrants, which were sold at discount
The Sisters are in debt for the new build
ing, and it is not finished or equately
furnished.
Under these circumstances the ladies OF
the Auxiliary Society of the House OF the
Good Shepherd have come forward and
made the necessary preparation for lee
ture, the proceeds of which will be ap-
plied to the wants of the House. Rev.
Father Ryan has been selected to deliver
the lecture, which will be at the Church OF
the Immaculate Conception tJesuits), on
Baronne street, tomorrow evening at halt
past seven. At the close of the lecture a
collection will be taken up for the beneht
of the fund of the House. We hope the
result will be satisfactory to the excellent
ladies who have undertaken the charitable
work

From the Chicago Tribune, February s.

Garter is sworn. He tells the story Of his
grievances; how he was oustcd by strategy
from his rightful seat in the Speakers chair
of the House; how he and his fifty adher-
ents, lacking only one of a quorum had
passed dreary days and nights in tight
little club room over a liquor store, be-
leagucred by police, and barred out by
rows OF militia from entering into ard pos
sessing The coveted Capitol; how he had ap-
peaIad in vain to the United States military
and how he had finally, after twenty-one
DAYS of persistent fighting. given up the
battle for the present. lie also unveiled
the wiCkedness of all parties, races and
C. asses III Louisiana, and declared that Re
publicans, Democrats. whites. negroes, Gov
errors, legislators, petty officers, and all,
had done that which they ought not 10
have done, and there was no health in
them, adding the thoughtful meteorological
remark with which this letter commences.
And, with pretty strong foreb)ding that
Carter is right, and that we shall find the

Organs in History.

The Builder supplies some interes-
ting and curious bits relative to the
organ. Here are few: In the Ho-
ly scriptures the organ is mentioned
eighteen times. 1t is, however, obvi-
Gus that this instrument was very,
small and capable of being carried.
Organs are also mentioned by Pindar
800 years before the Christian era.
The first mention we have of an Or
gan, which must have been large in
strument, is one that is said to have
been given to Charlemange, and is re-
ported to have made ga noise like
thunder" The earliest organ men
toned as having existed in England
was at Westminster abbey, where
there was only one in the tenth centu-
ry. The first organ erected in Paris
was at the church of st. SEVERN, in
the year 1858, though they had been
introduced into France as early as the
third century. In the year 1853, the
cathedral church of Toulouse had five
organs, all on the rood screen, which
shows that even up to that period the
instruments were generally small.
The earliest organs now existing date
from the end of the fifteenth, or COM
mencement of the sixteenth century.
Those in the cathedrals of Chartres
and Amiens are of this date, and in
the church of Perpignan, Honblieux
in Picardy, Moret, Cleuncy, st. Ber-
trand des Commignes, Solies-Villes,
in France; also that of Strasbourg,
Nordligen. and st. AIMS, Augsburg,
in Germany. All these examples are
elaborately carved and adorned with
gliding and color; they are also sup
piled with doors richly painted. In
England we know only of one organ
case which may date from before the
Reformation. 1t is in Northampton
shire.
