Of assistance to meet some Of its current
expenses. For this purpose the ladies Of
the church propose to have q concert at the
church on tho twenty fifth instant. instead
Of the eighteenth. as at first announced. The
principal feature Of the concert will bs the
''Rainbow Cantata," which, both in its con.
ception and music. is very beautiful. Light
is represente as dwelling originally in
Heaven. Circumstances are invited to ac-
count for it's resolution into co,ored rays.
The scene is on earth, where all meet.
Light, as the 'mothel" Of all the coicred
rays, and the three primary colors. with
their different combinations. orange green.
indigo and violet. are all represented BY
beau siful young ladies in costumes, and in
duets and solos and choruses set forth
their respective merits. There will be re
freshments in the pavilion in the rear of
the church, where the ladies will be happy
to see their friends. The price Of admission
aud the charge tor refreshments will be
very moderate. especially for children. In

Feminine SMeslnesa.

The New York woman who writes over
the signature IN. II. b." in one Of her
characteristic letters. has this to say OF
Julia Ward Howe:
There was about her ete1n contempt for
the lines of beauty often observed in the
Boston woman. It's the geological forma-
tion of the mind, it's the theological con.
traction of the soul, and it's the mighty
algebraical properties of the female Boston
stomach that makes the true daughter of
Beantown SO conspicuous for rugged grand
eur and spectacled sublmity, and denudes
her of little frivolous bits of fat TO endow
her with knobs on her knees and elbows
that know no fear. This particular sister,
ss an encouragement to chess clubs, was
gotten up il huge checks Of brown.
We do not know the unwritten life Of
IN. II. b." but she has certainly grown a
little tedious playing SO long upon ono
string. She is Fanny Fern without the
softening love jor children: she is Jennie
Juno without the CHEEKY kindness for The
honest worker; she is Gail Hamilton with
out her religious training and zeal to make
the world better by saying sharp things.
This female Dogenes goes about the world
throwing always the light OF her lantern on
the ugly side of humanity. She makes a
tart Of every cookey and pickle Of every
plum. 1t matters little what Julia Ward
Howe is like. She is honest, and one of the
most intelligent women in America. M.

The entry must also show the rates Of duty.
and be accompanied by an invoice Of the
merchandise. to which must be attached the
seal and signed certificate OF the United
States consul at the port Of shipment. and
should there be no consul at that port. the
sworn affidavit of at least two resident me,-
chants is required. The entry thus made
out and signed by the owner or importer. is
handed, with the invoice, to the entry clerk
tor examination and if found to be correct.
a permit is issued for the delivery Of the
goods, on the margin Of which in blue ink
is made the notation OF those packages that

of agency or ownership. as appears on the
reverse of the entry. is then taken and
sworn to before the deputy collector.
The papers are now taken to the entry
clerk in the naval office. who also examines
them. and, if correct. are checked by him.
and one copy Of the entry is retained for
the naval officer.
This having been done. the importer now
brings the remaining copy Of the entry.

by the entry clerks, and also the fees in

Hon. Charles }. Leeds, Mayor of New Orleans:
DEAR SIR-ln accordance with your re-
quest, have tho honor to furnish you, AS
chairman Of the McDonogh fund commits.
sOners, the folio wiug information relative
to the most advantageous locality for An
additional public school building, to be
built from the McDonogh fund, and to be
styled the McDonogh Schoolhouse NJ. s
There is no school building IN the Sixth
District owned by the city, and built ex
pressly for school purposes. Three school
buildings in the district are owned by
the city, but were formerly private
residences or churches. and are en-
tirely unsuited to public school re
auirements. Could the administrators of
the McDonOgh fund be induced to erect
school building, with ten departments, in
tho vicinity OF Laurence square. four
SCHOOLS, containing ABOUT bUU children to-
gether, and occupying rented buildings,
could be conveniently consolidated, and
an annual reduction OF the school expenses
to the amount Of $4,000 be readily effected
in rents, pOrters and the number Of teach.
ers employed.
send you herewith plan OF portion
of ground owned by the city. and situated
in locality which is central and suitable
for the proposed building. This ground was
originally purchased for the erection Of
schoolhouse and other public buildings.
am gratifiet to notice q disposition on
ths part OF the administrators of the Nc
DOnogh fund TO cooperate with the Schoc!
Board in effecting reduction of expenses.
BY the plan recently adopted ny the board
a reduction Of at least $4,000 year will
be secured. The application OF the interest
only of the McDonOgh fund to the erection
of suitable schoolhOnses, will effect still
further reduction Of nearly $40 900 annual.
ly. by enabling US to consolidate the various
lated rooms. Thus in six or seven years
our heavy annual expense Of more than
$50, 900 for the renting of thirty four un-
| suitable buildings would cease to exist.
trust that You may deem it expedient and
a financial advantage to make the neces.
sary arrangements at once, and award the
contract for the erection of McDonogh
Schoolhouse No. 6, thereby increasing the
educational facilities of the city-a work
which was 80 successfully begun by your
