Burglars In Bay st. Lsuis.

The Metropolitans are making things 80
lively for thieves and burglars il our city
that some of the worst rascals are COM
PEELED to fly the track. 1t would seem that
some Of the tribe have sought pastures new
at the watering places. Thursday night
two houses at Bay St. Louis were bur
glarized. During the sleepy hours the
dwelling Of Mr.. Paul Fourchy was entered,
but Mr.. Fourchy discovered the villain and
warned him off, when the rascal fired shot
at him, without effect. Yesterday morning
q fellow was arrested on suspicion. and a
portion of the money stolen from Mr.. Four
chy was found on him. A revolver. with
one barrel empty, was found on his person
About the time this robbery occurred the
residence Of Mrs. O'Brien was entered and
several articles Of value stolen. Messrs
Farrell and Manning left here yesterday te
look after these cases in Bay St. Louis.

The Emperor William.

There is no longer any doubt Of the &C.
rious illness of the German Emperor. He
is said to be incapacitsted for further public
duty. and arrangements are being made for
the proclamation Of q regency under the
Crown Prince. Frederick William. 1t is
possible that the report has but little foun-
dation in fact. Still. Emperor William is
an old man: he has seen his seventy-sixth
birthday. and it would not be at all won
perful if he were now overtaken by the in
firmities incident to old age. A regency
would not be a novelty in Berlin, for Em.
peror William himself. during the illness OF
his brother, ruled as regent OF Prussia from
1858 to 1861. With the regency Of William
began that policy which has made Germany
unit and rendered Prussia the mistress OF
Germany. The Crown Princes advent to
power will be followed by no radical change
in the government Of the empire.

Life School Of Sculpture.

Statuary representing the bus: 0, the
entire anatomical contguration OF a man.
woman or child, begins to assume an impor-
tan: position in New York as we'll as IN
New Orleans. They have two such .1fe
schools OF sculpture in the North, one de-
vo.ed to the ladies. the other to gentlemen,
where this artistic science. which Immortal
lied Michael Angelo and many others OF
high renown, is taught and learned TO great
perfection. These life schools are located
in the Academy Of Design, and attended
by many ladies and gentlemen who ad-
mire the anatomica! construction OF the
human body in general and particular,
and delight in the mode and power 20
transpose the anatomy OF expression, the
passions and emotions Of tie living upon
;nsensate marble bnsts and models.
We were reminded of these facts as by
accident our attention was called to two
bus:s exhibited in the show window OF
Messre. Gcunewald's music store on Canal
street, New Orleans, next to Pitfe-'s. One
is that Of O'Neil, Esq, the distinguished
dFculteCs VI tule CIDy' AuO oehOA 40 WIZ 0~SS
of the son, nine years old, Of DR.. Everitt,
Of New Orleans, both Of which were mod
el,ed by our accomplished sculptor. John
Halliday, Esq, who resides at No. 90 Wash
ington street. New Orleans. This gentle.
man has not only well defined the struc-
tural anatomy OF these two gentlemen, but
has impaired to each one facial expressions
Of superior intellect and goodness. thrilled
by passions and emotions of the mind,
which proves how faithfully this celebrated
sculptor can transfer to marble the exact
anatomical construction Of ourselves and
friends, and apparently imbue them with
life. intellect and nobility of character,
combined with the passions and emotions
of the soul that lives forever. A bust, or
model, more gracefully expresses our love
and devotion than the incremation and
urning of the ashes Of departed friends,
and we hope soon to sec life school Of
sculpture connected with the Academy OF
Science established in New Orleans. II
would add greatly to our literary standing,
and be an honor to ourselves and Louisiana.

THE FREEDMAN'S SAVINGS AND TRUST
CoMrASY.-The constant advance in popu-
larity which this institution is making is
undoubtedly owing to the fact it is one Of
the most ably and honestly managed bank
ing institutions in the country. We take
pleasure in chronicling its success, because
it i. proof that the virtues of prudence and
economy are rapidly gaining favor among
our working classes, and where thrift: walks.
happiness can not be far off. Mr.. c. d.
Sturtevant, the cashier OF the New Orleans
branch Of the Freedman's Savings and
Trust Company. certainly deserves great
credit for this favorable condition Of affairs,
which we feel confident will continue under
his administration.

THE SACRIFICE AT TuRcoTTE's.-Thev very
low prices indeed at which Mr.. j. Turcotte.
No. l5S Canal street. is selling out his stock
must be strong temptation for heads OF
families, who always are in need Of every
thing he keeps. About half price is the
rate at which the majority of the goods are
disposed of, and. to think. these goods are
SO fresh, so fashionable and SO beautiful.
But such a sacrifice can not last forever.
This only continues twenty-five days more.
We advise our readers not to fail going
there in time.

Evening Hours AT Home.

Husband your evening hours. The night
is profitable season of mental culture. So
cial happiness and rest. Books. conversa-
ton. music-these fit web the night. Hap
py now are they who have homes. A bed
to sleep in and a table to eat from do not
constitute home. Any old bachel or with
a salary can purchase so much of the worlds
comforts. But the magnetic freside circle.
the smiles of mother or wife, the talk OF the
sensible old folks, the songs of sweet voiced
sisters. the affectionate good night OF chill
dren, the wholesome occupation of heart
and mind in social and Intellectual enjoy
ment-these are the unpurchasabl e~ cou'
forts Of home AID the winter Uights.
