corner of Magazine and Second streets. to
listen to Rev. Professor Fontaine's lecture
on ''aletamorphoses illustrating Immortal

character and numbers. Without a crowd
the church was comfortably filed, and the
profound attention as vel! as interest with
which al! pr.sen: listened to the learned
lecturer. were very noticeable. For some

MORE TROUBLE IN THE COUNTRY

TWO HsN KILLED A! PASS MANlHic
United States Deputy Marshal Resisted

Recently news reached this city tha. a
certain lot of men a. Pass Manchac, on the
jackson railroad. intended to displace the
postmaster at that place. Some one cam g
to this city and fled an affidavit, betor e
United States Commissioner Shannon. for
the arrest OF the oonspirators. The war.
rants were placE in the hands of Deputy
United States Marshal Hughy. who pro
ceeded 20 the locality named. and succeeded
in arresting one OF the men. After making
the arrest. and whiie waiting for the train
to come to New Orleans. he received note
signed "Citizens." demanding the release
of his prisoner. OF course he refused com
plance. On this ths marshal was handed
another letter. asking him to meet a party
alone at designated point. Again he re-
fused TO hold any conference with them
but held his prisoner. Charles Pierce, only
waiting for the inward bound train. When
the cars arrived large number of men
showed themselves and made hostile
demonstrations. shooting IN q promiscuous
manner.
Marshal Hughy held on to his prisoner as
we'll as he could. but during the confusion.
while the mob was firing into the cars
reckless!y. the prisoner escaped.
In the fight two men were killed. One
was named A. X. German. the others name

Lecture Last Evening.

The audience that gathered in Grunewaid
Hall last evening 20 hear the Rev. Marx
Moses was 40: so numerous as the import.
ance Of the subject and the elegance and
talent OF the speaker had led US to expect.
The hal! was not moro than half tiiled. but
wha. was lacking III numbers was more
than made up for in personnel. We have
seldom seen q more refined: and cultured
gathering. even in this on: !ueea city Of
the South.
The subject Of the lecture was 1.-The ideal
of Masonry. with its bearing upon social.
religion. and political institutions and so.
ciety.'
The lecturer treated his subject IN broad
and general terms, for Masonry mus: ever
be to the uninitiated bu: sealed book.
But IN the discussion OF Masonry as affect.
ing politics. religion and society at large.
tho lecturer succeeded in proving that Ma.
sonic ideas. properly carried ont. improved
and benefited mankind by the creation o: .
bond of fellowship and brotherhood.
The key note of the discourse was con-
:anei in the assertion that ''institut;ons
and societies possess their ideas as we'll as
men," The ideas of Masonry were three
fold in their application. First, as TO social
intercourse. second as to politica! elements.
and thirdly. as to differences IN creed. BY
the peculiar social structure Of the organ
ization, the lecturer demonstrated that all
political and religious disagresments were
forever set aside and rendered nugatory.
The objects Of Masonry were purely heneyo
len. and improving. The workings OF the
order in no way ;ateriered with creed OF
party.
The lecturer was listened 70 with marked
attention. and was frequently applauded
Mr.. Moses is an able speaker. and possesses
all the requirements of an orator. We trus,
i. will not be long ere he vii! afford as
another opportunity to listen to him.

Court Reporters.

Senator Chadbourn has introduced In the
Senate bill! that meets the approval OF
those members OF the bar who have exam.
iHei Il. and suitots will. NC doubt. be
equally well satisfied with it. It provides
for the appointment by the court of com
,nissiorers to take testimony, who shall be
stenographic writer's. and fixes the rate at
which they shall be paid at forty cents per
100 words. This is twenty cents less than
the cost that has been heretofore exacted.
Some doubt having been expressed that the
bill! might conflict with the constitutional
provisions of the several clerks of the courts,
it has been carefully examined by many of
the leading members Of the bar. and they
unite in the opinion that it does not. and
that it will be satisfactory to the bar and to
!itigants. The bill has been referred to the
Judiciary Committed.

\ Paris letter says the Empress Eugeiis
has aged sadly. There arc deep lines at
each side or her mouth, and her whole
face looks drawn and hagsard. The little

from her temples seems too youthful Sor
her worn face. but it is a relief not to see
her lips set in that stiff smile. artificial as
tn. gold OF her tre.ses CT the roses in her
bonnet. wherewith she used to greet her

NEW ORLEANS SATURDAY,
The Upper Girls High School.

The usual monthly literary and musical
exercises at the Upper Girls High School
yesterday gave the utmost satisfaction to
numerous attendance of visitors, and re-
tlected great credit upon the teachers and
the young ladies themselves. We are very
glad to see the strong and apparently in
creasing interest-we judge by the number
Of pleased auditors-now manifested in this
excellent school by our uptown residents.
Their presence is an encouraging recogni-
ton Of the earnest and iaborious efforts of
the teachers. and incites in the young ladies
that spirit OF emulation which is one Of the
surest guarantees Of success.
Yesterdays exercises consisted o! music,
compositions, literary selections and decla-
nation, and throughout were meritorious.
The dramatic dialogue of liking Rene's

appear. was rendered with q force and

was misconceived by the young miss
charged with its delivery, a result not at all
to be wondered at-or regretted. perhaps.
Yet Ne must credit this scholar with
dramatic talents. if properly applied. tha.
must give her rank as the peer Of anyof her
school associates.
This was the first exhibition OF the school
year. but one that certainly does credit to
Miss Mcdonald and her assistants. We
shall hereafter watch the progress Of their
young charges in solid studies. as well as
the more graceful accomplishments. and
hope always to be able 20 bestow upon
them kindly words Of praise.
