the first of the preliminary meetings
which will be held previous to his
coming. Brooklyn is also agitating
the temperance question, which indi.

SOCIETY OF DECORATIVE ART.
This is the title of an Association
lately formed here for the purpose of
aiding and encouraging women's work
in the field Of Art. The plan adopted
is to open a Bazaar for the sale of ar
ticles, and to invite women to send
their articles which are to be subject
to the inspection of a competent Com
mittee. All goods accepted will be
placed on sale, ten per cent of the pro-
ceeds going to defray the expenses of
the society. The officers Of this socie-
ty are among the prominent women Of
the city, and no doubt this organized
effort will stimulate the art laborers Of
women all over the country.
JUVENILE LITERATURE.
There are constant complaints being
made about the demoralizing effects Of
q certain class of Boys Story Pa
pers." The subtle poison instilled in
the minds of boys all over lhe country
by reading these publications is fit
subject for agitation. The papers
which are but the organs of Robbers"
"Murderers" and "Villains" ought to
be suppressed even if they are pub
lished under pretense Of furnishing
amusement and entertainment for
boys.
SANDWICH MEN.
On every block along Broadway
now, you meet the travelling till boards,
sometimes called Sandwich Men"
This method of advertising is too com
mon to be longer effective, for it has.
ceased to bea novelty.
ATHLETIC SPORTS.
Who can account for the habit New
York papers have got into of adver-
tising wrestling and boxing matches
and other manly (?) sports the pa
pers will gratuitously publish "chal
lenging cards" from contestants, and
otherwise advertise this kind of low
sham business by giving liberal re-
ports etc. Readers are no more inter.
ested in these contests than they are
in performances given in the various
variety shows in the city. This free
advertising oflow public performances,
is bad habit, and one which news
paper people ought to break them
selves of. E. Z. B.

THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.

Tomorrow morning there will be high re-
ligous festival ct the JesuiPs Church, on Ba-
rome street, in celebration Of the feast Of the
Immaculate Conception OF the Holy Virgin Mary.
The tabernacle, in which q god was to reside,
must be pure, even of the original sin, and there
fore the Catholic Church has decided that the
Holy Virgin was born without even the innocent
blemish that attaches to the original curse. Upon
the occasion of this great festival Gounod's new
high mass will be sung on saturday morning at
10 O'Clock, under The talented direction OF
Prof. G.. Collignon, the "maitre de cha
pelle" of the Jesuits Church. The we'll
known and artistic choir OF that church
will be reinforced on that day by some Of our
most gifted amateurs. It will be the first time
that that chef d@upre is executed in the United
States. The music is exclusively classical,
choral and ecclesiastical, and therefore to be ap-
pIeciated mostly by parties learned in music and
by those who love to hear the praises OF the Lord
sung in style entirely pure and religious. 1t
will be, at all events, q magnificent novelty
which will please those piousiy and unsteady in
clined and will be we'll executed by the e6uaated
singers under charge of Prof. Cognon. The
other Catholic churches will also make appropri-
ate celebrations Of the day.

ment.
The president announced the appointment of

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
THE JEFFERSON CITY GAS CONTRO-
VEHSY


Several days ago Administrator Diamond motif
fed the Jefferson City Gas Company that lamps
In their district we're repeatedly reported az be-
ing out ct night, but as yet the inspector Of the
company if there be such an officer, has failed to
wait upon Mr.. Diamond for the necessary infor-
nation, nor has the company in any way mani
tested the intention Of meeting the Admnistrs-
tor Of Police on the subject.
Upon inquiry we find that the Jefferson Gas
Company are supplying gas to the upper dis
tricts, not any special contract, but only the
general provisions OF their charter, which does
not even stipu ate the size Of the burners of the
street lamps, but simply provides that the street
lamps shall be supplied with gas and lighted at
the rate OF $50 each per snnum, or forty per
cent more than the city pays for the lamps lighted
by the New Orleans Gas Company. Tomorrow,
at the special meeting of the City Council,
Mr.. Diamond will introduce a resolution ask
ing for sealed proposals to light the streets OF
the Sixth and Seventh Districts with coal oil with
two inch burners.
THE SPECIAL MEETING
referred to ia called for in anticipation Of the
seating of Col. James B. Eustls in the Senate OF
the United States, which will create vacancy in
the representation from the First Senatorial Dis
trict OF New Orleans and necessitates an election
to fill the position. The duty OF the city adj
mnistration in this matter is to mske immediate
preparation for an superintendent of the several
wards of the city under the election law passed
at the session of 1877.

SAINT BARBARA.

We see with pleasure that the old tradition of
the feast of st. Barbara, or "Sainte Barbe," the
patroness Of cannoneers is not falling into desue-
tude. The Regiment Of Orleans Artillery, under
command Of Col. J. B. vinet, John II. Pike
lieutenant colonel, and A. j. Bachemn major,
will celebrate the day by attending high mass at
the Church of the Immaculate Conception
tJesuits' Church on Baronne street) on Sunday,
at 10 a. m, in full uniform. The whole choir viii
assist in giving more grandeur and effect to the
solemn ceremonies, and we advise all those who
have never seen grand military mass to be
present, as there is scarcely q scene that can be
more imposing. During service a collection will
be made for the benefit OF the orphans after
which parade, to end with banquet, such as the
genial soldiers alone can make brilliant and enter
raining.

1T WASN'T SHERIDAN.

An amusing incident occurred in the Superior
Criminal Court Thursday morning. When the
case of the State vs.. Ben Sheridan, colored, was
called up the deputy sheriff in charge OF the
dock brought ont short. squatty looking negro,
who took his place at the bar. After the wit
nesses for the State were called Judge Whitaker
asked the man whether he had an attorney,
when the District Attorney remarked that MIR.
was his lawyer.
"Dat man amt my 'terney," retorted The pris.
oner.
Judge Wis not your name Ben Sheridan?
Prisoner-No, sar; dat 'aint any of my name.
On inquiry it was discovered that the man had
responded to that name, for what reason could
not be known, and came near being tried for
mansIaughter when he is charged with only q
very trivial offense. When the darby was led
back to the dock he looked considerably relieved.
