tie Of Ne1 Orleans.
Yesterday, January 8th, being the 64th
anniversary of the battle of New Orleans,
the members of the jackson Democratic
Club, OF this city, took occasion to celc-
brate the event in honor of the old hero
after whom their organization is
named.
To this end their headquarters were
| temporarily convertedl into banquet
hall, and table capable of accommodate
Ing about thirty people was spread out
and loaded with choice array of tempt
ing viands, which were hanked by a
| side-board from which roast turkey aud
| chicken came in a never-ceasing supply.
The table was promptly filled, and after
all had satisfied their appetites, toasts
were offered and responded to by James
| Megary, President of the Jefferson
| Club, James II. Meyers, President OF
the Jackson Club, and others. The old
hero of New Orleans was appropriately
| alluded to in the responses and his giant
achievements set forth as an evidence
of the posi- bilities in store for the youth
of America under the eleyating princi.
pies of a free government
The affair was further enlivened by
some ex cellent selections on the violin

a complete success, and reflected great

A Fine Entertainment at Grace NJ. f..
Church.

Il rhe entertainment ut truce VI. II
Church.
A select reading was given in the Sun
day School hall Of Grace M. K. Church
last evening, by Miss Gertie Bunneil, OF
Philadelphia, the entertainment being
assisted by an excellent quartette from
the same city, comprising Miss lda
erts, contralto, Mr.. j. L. Truitt, tenor,
and Mr.. ii. B. Chambers, bass. Despite
the gloomy weather the attendance was
| reasonably large, the entertainment hay
| ing been given for the benefit Of Made
ley Sunday School Mission.
The entertainment opened with a
choice selection by the quarteute, when
Rev. w. j. Stevenson, in few compll-
| mentary remarks, introduced the reader,
Miss Gertrude Bunnell, of Philadelphia.
Miss Bunnell is a young lady of attrac-
i've form and face, anu her reading Is
marked by natural ease and grace that
shows it at once to be the result of gen
ius and inspiration and not of mere stu
died effect. Her voice Is pleasing, well
modulated, and wonderfully elastic,
while she possesses the happy faculty Of
entering so completely into the spirit of
the varied characters she portrays from
the book that an actress of rare, versatile
talents and not a reader seems to appear
Miss Bunpells first selection was a
very difficult one-"Tom Pidger's Court
ship" by David Macrae-but its rendi-
ton was accompanied with such thor
ough comprehension of the varied senti-
ments il contained, that the attention of
the audience was enchained from the
first, and the fair reader was greeted
with genuine and vigorous applause.
Her other selections were "The Paint
er of Saville," by Susan Wilson; THE
Annuity" Scotch ballad; "Creeds of the
Bells" by Il. W. Bungay; "Uncle Dan
iel's Steamer" by Mark Twain; and
"The Specimen Reading Glass;" Miss
Bunnelps own production. The widest
difference existed between the character
and nature of these selections, but each
was rendered with an excellence and
sentiment that marked the true artist
and the thorough reader.
The musical selections were I: soprano
solo, "When the tide comes flowing in"
duet, alto and bass, GAS the hart pant
enth;" solo, bass, "Song of the Sea-" solo,
contralto," Were l a violet" duet, So
prano and tenor, Chow dear to me the
honor" and quartette, "Sleep while soft
evening breeze" Tie selections were
most excellently rendered, and had the
effect of making the enLre entertain
ment doubly interesting.

The Question of Tramps.

The question of what to do with the
tramps is again agitating the minds of
the Mayor. Last evening, there were a
large number of applicants for lodging

o'clock last evening Sergeants Jones and
Dolan, ordered number of the corner
of Front and Market streets, they refus-
ed to go and told the officers to lock
them up, as they had no place to sleep.
The officers then marched Twelve ofthem
up to the city Hall, and this morning
they were turned out.

The session Of the Senate yesterday was
taken up almost entirely by BEN HILL, OF
Georgia, who in three-hours' speech did
his best to excuse secession. and also to con
vince his fellow-Senators that political affairs
IN the South were in most excellent con-
ditlon. From his argument it would
seem that all the patriotic people Of the
country are on the other side Of Mason and
D1xos's line, the traitors being confined e1-
clusive{y to the Northern States. 1lr. H1L's
rose-colored statements were somewhat up
set by Senator CHANDLER, who, in brief
but forcible speech, showed that the same
men who s year or so before the War we're
threatening to secede now claim to be the
leaders Of the Democratic party, and as .ume
the right Of taking charge Of the Govern
ment.

Yesterday afternoon Chicago cams un-
pleasantly near having repetition of the.
fire of 1871, by which the greater portion of
the city was destroyed. While the southwest
wind was blowing in its usua vigorous man
her, flames we're discovered in the dry-house of
large lumber er-manufacturing establishment,
and IN few minutes the entire premises were
ablaza. Situated in what is known as the
" Lumber District, the fire found plenty of
food, and for time it looked as though its
progress would not be checked until con-
siderable territory had been burned over.
BY ordering out the entire Fire Department,
however, r,-something that has not been done
since 1671,-Marshal BENSEn was enabled tn
obtain u mastery over the flames, and sue
cesded IN subduing them before any great
loss was sustained.
