we fear, the cellars of the careless are

that every one who can do so conscien-
tiously should eat good dinner on
that day, if they can get it. Care
should be taken, however, to regulate
the eating to the capacity of the eater,
and in order that they may know to
certainty their capacity, we would ad.

ingih he stamped and pounded the
Hrealown and cried TO his family To
bring water. By hard fighting the
fire was subdued and the barn and
Contents saved. The barn is nearly
kif not quite, a hundred Yards from the
house, which precludes the possibility
of the fire having caught from a spark
from the house. Neither Mr.. Hood
nor any one of his family had been
near the barn since early morning and
had then no fire in any shane with
them; so there is but one conclusion
to be arrived at, and that is. that the
barn was set on fire, with the intent TO
injure Mr.. Hood, and make him lose
the entire product of his summers
labor. Mr.. Hood has no idea who
did the deed. If the offender is caught
he will suffer for hiscowardly attempt.

Ball of Friendship No. ).

4 grand fancy dress and tiremen's ball
was given last evening by Friendship Fire
Company No. 3, of Carrollton, at Jefferson
City Hall, on Magazine street, near Napoleon
avenue, which was complete success, both
financially and socially. The pretty hail.
handsomely decorated with the colors of the
Union and adorned with fine portrait of
President Lincoln, was filled with ladies who
had no lack of gallants. The committee of
arrangements. Captain Joseph Boutte
chairman. left nothing TO be desired, and
the floor managers, led by Hon. A. Dejoie,
were interchangeable IN promoting enjoyment.
The Hon. J. i. Gaudet and the committee

gave the committee On reception,

other guests we noticed on the floor Lieu

Hebrew Benevolent Association Ball.

Exposition Hall was last night the scene
of most brilliant assembly of the elite of
our Jewish citizens-witk their wives,
sweethearts and fair daughters-the occa-
sion being the ball given by the Gentle
mems Hebrew Benevolent Association of
New Orleans, on the thirtieth anniversary
of its organic alton. The large hall was well
filled with merry dancers, sober old fathers
and staid matrOns, and as on former occa
sions when balls have been given by this
association nothing better in the way of a
ball could have been desired. A greater
number of maskers were present than usual,
and the characters represented were well
sustained during the evening. There were
kings aud queens trailing royal robes,
pages of court, piquant vivandiers, gpsey
and flower girls, fishermen and wo-
men from Naples, sailors wearing the
blue, soldiers, clowns with motley garb
and grOtesaue manner; there were
those appearing as night, with dark and
starry covering, and hundreds of fanciful
characters and costumes pleasing, and to a
practical Jenkins bewildering to behold.
Two bewitching creatures were arrayed as
Fashion, in dresses made entirely from Ba-
gar newspapers, trimmed with colored
fashion plates. One sprightly little damsel
attracted much attention as letter carrier,
with a neat suit of gray, and jaunty cap to
match. So much for the maskers. Those
of the ladies who kindly allowed their faces
to be seen were generally elegantly and
richly dressed and had beautiful faces to
show.
Messrs. J. Sandak, Joseph Magner and
p. klopman were chairmen respectively on
the committees of reception, floor manage
ment, and masking. and. with able assist
ants, performed their various duties grace
fully and satisfactorily. The ball was we'll
managed and arranged, and as we write is
still going on, one of the gavest and most
brilliant Of the season.

4 CHASTITY Disaster.

At Pere la ChaIse, the celebrated Parisian
cemetery, a disaster has occurred which,
happily, ID without precedent.
1t appears that the railway Of the Menil-
MISUNDERSTANDING route is carried by a
tunnel directly under the northeastern
part of the burying ground, near the Mus
sulman quarter. Recently the arch Of this
tunnel was found to be defective, and pas
senger traffic was suspended. On Satur-
day, the seventh instant, at 9 2. NJ, ter
rite noise was heard in the tunnel. The
vault of the arch had fallen for a distance
of twenty feet, dragging down into the
abyss the mortuary contents of some forty
tombs. The human remains-chiefy bones
were gathered together and deposited in
another part of the cemetery. The work
of removing the remains was dangerous
one, for it was feared that other portions of
the vault might fall on the workmen, in
volving the living with the dead. On sun
day. the eighth, fifteen coffins were re-
moved. The repairs of the tunnel will oc-
cupy more than Q year of constant labor,
Is it will be necessary to replace the entire
vault.

The Graphic and Mardi Gras.

Every one who has seen the excellent
sketches of the carnival in New Orleans
published in the New York Graphic, has
admired the spirit and execution of the de-
sign, except one unappreciative genius who
attempts to ridicule them IN Our Home
Journal. This writer evidently does not
know what he is talking about. He attacks
the Graphic with full face type and five
points of interrogation. which is his way Of
expressing sarcasm. The picture in ques-
ton is pen and ink sketch of the principal
characters and many OF the incidents of the
pageant transferred from the paper to the
stone as exactly as a photograph is taken
from a negative, but not with "a Cold
chiser' as the writer supposes. The artist
was not sent here either. but is well
known and highly esteemed citizen of New
Orleans. as the Home Journal might have
known il it could have read the signature.

Variety Dramatic Club,

Prompt at the call of charity, this organ
ization of young men proposes benefit
performance for the relief Of St. Mary's
Asylum. The offer of their services has
been accepted by his Grace Archbishop
Perche, and We presume that before the
close Of this week the performance will be
given. The efforts of the talented young
men who compose the Variety Club deserve
to be warmly seconded by the public. That
terrible scourge, the smallpox, has for
thee months past been raging among the
poor inmates of ST. Mary's Asylum, and
the condition of affairs is truly deplorable
This effort on the part of the Variety Club
to raise funds for the relief of the sorely
stricken orphans, should NEE: with prompt
and generous response.

Mrs. Van Colt.

The subjoined extract, from an exchange,
will give an idea Of the interest attending
the preaching of this lady. Many of our
readers will be glad to learn that Mrs. Van
Colt will preach on this day week in Ames
Church. She is expected to spend some
weeks in our city:
St. Johns proving too small for the
crowds who rush to hear Mrs. Van Colt,
she held two meetings at the Maryland In
stitute Yesterday. Cards Of admission
were issued for reserved places at the first
meeting, which commenced at half past
two in the afternoon. Long before two
o'clock, Institute Hall was filed down
stairs and in the gallery, while the entrance
and steps were crowded with people. Both
sides of Baltimore street, near the Institute,
were thickly lined with persons attracted
by the excitement and squad of police
men found much to do in keeping back the
great crowds that blocked the main en-
trance.
Among the audience, and on the stage,
there were probably fifty clergymen. The
numbe Of persons in the hall was estimated
at 5000, while it can safely be asserted
thousands were unable to gain admittance.
The services opened with the singing of
hymns, and though an occasional PRAYER
was offered by clergyman, Mrs. Van Colt
conducted and led the singing, aud did all
the preaching. and nearly all the praying
herself Her voice was heard distinctly in
every part of the hall AT eight o'clock in
the evening the excitement was even great
err, and the number unable to gain admit
lance larger.
Mrs. Van Colt was introduced to the
preachers meeting this morning. She re-
sponded to the greetings of DR.. Ames,
