Concert at Asylum Yesterday.

Quite a number OF persons who had pro-
posed to go ont in private vehicles to the
Asylum yesterday were prevented by the
storm. One OF Garber's big omnibuscs
took out the Board OF Managers, and DrS.
Manly and Steel. The boys were in fine
trim, and the singing OF solos, choruses,
&C., was well done. Some of the dialogues
were highly amusing and instructive. Mrs.
Gill presided with great skill at the organ,
and sang very sweetly. At the close OF the
concert remarks were made by Rev. Mr..
Schaeffer, j. T. Ellyson, Esq. president Of
the Common CounciD, Colonel T. j. Evans,
DR.. Manly, and Rev. DR.. Landrum. A
vote OF THINKS to Alrs. Gill and the boys
for the entertainment was unanimously
adopted.
The programme was neatly printed by
one of the orphans upon the new press
lately purchased by the Society.

Eoudon,s Statue and the New Stamps.

Colonel Sherwin Nc Rae, who has demon
strated to the world that the Houdon statue
OF Washington is indeed "a tdc Simile "
OF the person OF the Father OF his Country,
viii Of all men be most delighted to hear
that the new two-cent letter-postage stamp
is to have vignette after Houdon's work.
That is rs il should be. Ii Houdon's statue
belonged to Boston, its weight in gold
would hardly buy It. Here Its precious
ness is rarely thought OF, and only appre-
ciated by few. Like everything else in
our Capitol, il is liable to utter destruction
from fire. IIoudon was the great sculptor
OF his age. His figure OF Votaire in the
Theatre Francaise and the Shiyering Wo-
man are among his great works. while his
skeleton for the anatomical study OF the
human frame has been reproduced over
and over again in all civilized lands. IIou-
don came to this country and made casts
OF WGshingtOn's person, and from them
Our statue was made.

The ucayi,y.Loaded Ordinance.

In Yesterdays issue OF this paper IL was
stated that Justice Isbell, presiding III the
Police Court, had on the day before hnea
MIR. w. +. Hord for driving on a macad-
amized street. 1t was true that Ar. Hord
was fined, but he has not paid it, nor does
he intend topayit. Hesays that his driver
was taking a load Of bricks from DOCK
street TO Floyd street. As Main street-his
natural route-is being repaved between
Second and Fifth, he proceeded to his des-
tlnation by way OF Franklin. For going on
Franklin street he was reported under the
existing ordinance, and Mr. Hord, his EN-
ployer, a teamster, Is held responsible.
The ordinance would have compelled the
driver TO go from Main to Broad street,
and then from Broad he would have hnd 70
90 10 Floyd, which Is short street ex-
Tending from Monroe Park parallel with
and next 10 Main on the north. Anybody
can see that that would have been very
circuitous route indeed. DIR. Hord claims

ADRsFT IN THE GULF STREAM.
A WhaIer's Boats Crew Picked Up by n
Richmond-BOund Vessel.

CAPTAIN james M.Webber, of the schooner
Cumberland, which arrived here WedneS-
dav evening from Orchllla Island, reports
that last Sunday morning, in latitude 80
1S/. longitude 73o 19/. OFF the coast OF South
Carolina, he picked up yawl-boat con-
tanning the mate and five of the crew OF the
vballng-brig V. III. Hill, OF New Bedford,
Mass.
The mate states that on the evening be-
fore thew were picked up he and the five
men had been sent by the captain to board
a barkentine (Which had been sighted sail
ing northwar6D for the purpose OF sending
letters home. BY reason OF the distance
and their inability TO attract the attention
Of the barkentine by repeated signals, the
boat failed to reach her, and finally PAT
about to return to their own vessel. In
this they were also unsuccessful, rs they
were overtaken by night, and in the dark
ness missed the brig. They driited about
i'm the Gulf Stream all night and untii q
O'Clock next morning, when they were
sighted by the schooner Cumberland and
taken aboard.
The names OF the rescued men are as
follows: NJ Enos. Jr.,s mate; Antoine #.
Sylvia, boat-steerer; Manuel a. Sylvia,
Walter Gray, Joseph Sylvia, and Clarence
sylvia. seamen; all OF New Bedford.
They were certainly fortunate in being
in the track OF many passing vessels, Tor
had they not been picked up so soon
hunger and thirst would have soon begun
TO make themselves felt, as they had not an
ounce OF provisions or water in their boat.
When they left the brig (the mate SAYS a
G5-barrel whale had but Il short while be-
fore been captured and was then along
side.
Upon their arrival in Richmond Mr..
Enos, the mate, tclegraphed to the owners
OF their vessel and their friends informing
them OF their safety and Whereabouts.
The party were awaiting orders yester-
day as TO their future movements.

also that Justice Isbcll fined him,
while he did not apply the same
rule to Mr.. JeG. Powers. whose
teams were also hauling on Franklin street.
Ihaf, however, can hardly be a subject for
newspaper discussion. Justice Isbell takes
pride In holding the scales OF Justice with
great exactncss, and he doubtless saw, or
thHight he saw, difference in the two
cases: The upshot OF it Is that Mr.. Hord
was iined 81; but he thinks he would fail
in his duty as a citizen II be paid it with
out protesting against it and defending his
rights 10 the last.

Adjourned Jury.

Tn the Circuit Court yesterday, in the
suir against the Richmond and Danyille
Railroad Company for $4,000 damages in
the matter Of the death OF Thomas Kane,
the jury was adjourned until tomorrow
Mr.. Armistead, one Of the jury, being un-
well.
Mr. Kane was killed on n track OF the
York River Railroad Company over year
ago. The question before the jury is to de-
rermine where the negligence was-whether
on the part OF the deceased or OF the Dan
vile Company's employees and servants,
the York River road being under lease by
the Danyille Company.
