George Springer and Frank Bourney knew some thing ot the fires, and therefore arrested them, making charges of arson. Recorder Houghton, compelled to go to Carrollton as a witness in one of the courts, continued a score or more ot cases from vesterdav until the eleventh instant. There are many peculiar signs that Christmas is not far off. Children are al ready in gleefull anticipation that Santa Claus will fill their stockings full of choice toys, fine presents and candies. Variety and other stores are arranging their holi day goods to tempt purchasers. Late Cars. —It is an unpleasant fact that the Baronne street lines of cars have ceased to send out cars at one o'clock A. M. There was not sufficient travel to warrant tho ex pense; but why did not the managers ad vertise that people could be accommodated at that hour We know several citizens ou both lines who would gladly use cars instead of cabs, ard be willing to pay four prices for seats. There is nothing in the charters prevent mg the companies charging more than five cents after midnight. Most all lines sow start one car at fifteen minutes after midnight. Frequenters of Magazine market state that that place has not been thoroughly cleaned since the first instant.

Judge Abe!' granted a new trial, fixing the bond at one thousand dollars. in The City Council of C'airoilton has adopted its license ordinance for next year, and if her citizens do not find fault with it probably no one else will. The irregulari ties are as glaring as a July day. Every money broker is to pay ten dollars: every undertaker twenty dollars; every dry goods, hardware and crockery store twenty-five dollars; every owner of pool or roulette gallery the same, and so on through the list. However, ihere is t.iue for corrections. I> Theft .'—The following affidavit was filed before Recorder McArthur by John Bachmanu, baker, corner of Bagatelle and Morales streets: That one Philip Ray has wrongfully used, disposed of. concealed, or otherwise embezzled a certain lottery ticket, of the Havana Royal Lottery Company, purport ing to be the half of No. 17,iil7 of daid lot tery, of the drawing of November 10. 1871, which had been intrusted to the said Philip Ray's care, keeping and possession by this affiant on the sixteenth day of November, 1371. at the residence of said Philip Ray. No. 19 Main street, and which said lottery ticket, as above described, was of the value of five thousand dollars at the time of said deposit. The golden sum involved is worth fighting for. but according to a State law tickets of all lotteries except the one in this State and city are unlawful: and a man can not steal or embezzle an article which the statutes declare illegal in that sense. Mr. Ray fur nished bonds in five thousand dollars. Here is a subject for attorneys to twist until they are tied up in double bow knots. Resumed His Position.—M r. James D. Houston, since his emphatic acquittal has resumed h'.s position as deputy sheriff in the Criminal Court. During his absence, Mr. J. Botil occupied the desk with much credit. He now returns to the Parish Prison, not under compulsion, however. M ike Ma rtin, the picture peddler, was found dead in his bed yesterday morning, No. 221 Baronne street, although he retired in apparent g.mil health. Heart disease killed him. Accident. —YVe learn that some time Friday, while a young man ou Colonel Saw yeis's plantation was walking over the dog chain at the 'op of the rollers that crush the I cane. fell, and striking his head against I j the side ot the wheel, was caught in the j rollers, and before the machinery couiil he I stopped was crushed to pieces in a terrible manner. M.-sissii'i-i No. 2.—This fire company, exempt' and actives, was out on the streets last night, after electing officers. As there are so many lond associations connected with No. 2. there were many invited guests, and the ranks were swelled up into hun dred*. After a rather warm election, the assembly adjourned to Cassidy's restaur ant and partook of a splendid collation, the large room being tilled with jolly good sprits. Some of our solidest men ami best citizens felt proud to he there, and not a few ot the older ones grew young again, just for the night. At the close a few short, trite speeches were made, when the company and guests marched forth, caring little for anything excepting an alarm of fire at that juncture. W ith a fine hand of music they serenanded their friends, not forgettiug the Reiu L ie: an, and then visited some of their oldest acquaintances at private dwellings. The best feeling prevailed from first to last, for each individual member takes a natural pride in sustaining its ancient reputation The following named gentlemen were chosen officers: Mr. G. II. Braughn, president; YV. T Perry, vice president; C. Taylor Gauche foreman; Dan A. Rose, first assistant; YY7 II. Morgan, second assistant: J. 1>. Cooper' secretary: J. Mut, Jr., financial secretary: E. Blessey, treasurer; Tom Maxwell, mar shal. Delegates to F ireman's Charitable Asso ciation—Messrs. Braughn. Otto. Carroll. Allenet. There seems to he quite a revival in this body, and when they are called to duty they will be as near first as possible. Ladies' Heurew Charitable Society The fancy dress anil masquerade ball last night, iu Odd F'ellows' Hall, was one of the pleasantest affairs of the kind of the season, and it is not out of place to say that there were more dark-eyed beauties congregated than is the lot pf a man to gaze on more tiian once in a life time. Mrs. B. Dreyfous President, may claim favor for the success of her charge. The music and dancing were really superb. Dangerous .Stabbing on Board aShu\— Corporal Ncvins reports that about a quar ter paster nine o'clock last night a difficulty occurred on board the Norwegian bark Pascida, lying at the foot of Hospital street, which had just arrived from England, be tween Zaclutria YY'esdiu, the carpenter, and a seaman named Adolph Olsen, in which the former was stabbed in three differ' ent places, one iu the left breast, one in the left arm. and another in the pit of the stomach, with a knife in the hands of the latter, and which is sup posed to have been thrown overboard after the cutting was done. It could not he ascertained whether the wounds were day gerous. The wounded man was sent to the hos pital in charge of Officer Parker. Olsen was locked up. Idleness is no natural propensity of man kind, for when they are too young for being tainted by the example of the worthless they are all activity.

Hynopsi* of the .'spiritual Lecture Dr live red iu. Minerva Ilall Laat Sunday Morning, by Kev. J. M. Peebles, Upon the Origin and Progress of Spiritual ism la this and Other Countries. The lecture was attended by a select au dience. couvened for the purpose of listen ing to a discourse by J.' M. Peebles, on Spiritualism. Owin^ to the inclemency of the weather, the audience was not large. The speaker commenced by saying that this was a remarkable age of the world—an age of thought, of investigation, ana pro found scientific research. Men's minds were reaching out like morning sunbeams, and the constant inquiry is, "What is truth in regard to human progress and human destiny in the future world. Ra tionally speaking, there was no new truth under the sun: only our conceptions of truth are new to us. Principles were discovered, not created. This movement in the world called Spirit ualism is not new. Ancient history abounds in spiritual cycles of manifestations. Those religious waves recur at different intervals. Studying them in connection with modern spiritual manifestations we find the key to mystery, magic and the angelic appearings of the Scriptures. Zoroaster, the Third, told Cyrus, king of Persia, that he, with the Magi, could disenthral themselves from their bodies and converse with the immor tal gods. Pythagoras and Plato taught that celestial beings held the guardian care of mortals. Jesus was a very remarkable Spiritualist. Jesus selected the twelve Apostles because they were mediums pos sessed of wonderful spiritual gifts. Phe nomena and signs followed, not only the Apostles and first martyrs, but the early Christain fathers. Constantine, who nation alized Christianity, saw the form of the cross in the heavens; Savonarola prophesied; Tasso hoard spirit voices; Joan of Arc had visions Louis XY I.. noblest of all the Bour bons saw a female figure, clothed iu white, enter his dungeon—a warning of liis sad fate; the YY'esley family had astounding spiritual manifestations; Ann Lee had vis ions and the gift of tongues; Baron Sweden I) rg held converse with spirits, angels and •'the Lord twenty-seven years of his life; A J. Davis, elairvoyantly. and the Shakers in vision, foretold the coming of the present spiritual wave that was to flow like a mighty river over the face of all the earth. "Coming events." says the poet, "cast their shadows before. It has been said that Swendenborg. previous to his death in 1772, declared that iu about eighty years there would remarkable events of a spirit 1 of I j I ual nature occur on the earth. The years of the vision ended in I <52. In 183(i a youth of Fredonia. New York, fell into m deep, un conscious trance. YY'hile in this state the controlling intelligence referred to a won derful book that would soon he published, the origin of which would he quite as start ling as the content-. The sequel proved that the spirit referred to A. J. Davis' "Nature's Divine Revelations." In 1835. and a few years following, YY'il iiaui Miller became thoroughly impressed that an impending change was rapidly ap proaching iu regard to spiritual things. It was denominated "Millerism," and among its tenets was the enunciation that the world would be destroyed in 1843. Some of Miller's prophecies were fulfilleu. But he mistook the world— Knstnos —for the world of theological creeds and uarrow churchai dogmas. In this same year the seer. A. J. Davis, went into a trance or high clair voyant condition, during which his future spiritualistic course ay as largely indicated. At this period hosts of immortalized spirits visited, as they had before done, the various Shaker communities in America, controliug the members of this order, giving strange vet beautiful spiritual communica tions. The Shakers ha\ r e these communi cations and prophecies in voluminous manuscript form. The spirits entraneing the mediums in the Shaker communities informed the elders and the ministry that the "seals were soon to be loosed." and these spiritual manifestations were to go out into the world, enlightening all the nations of the earth upon the subject of im mortality. Ou December ii. 18pi. anil some two or t hree years before, the word had been breathed of what was afterward known as the "Rochester Tappings." A. J. Davis stated, and it so stands recorded in his revelation*, that spirits were about to hold tangible communion witli the in habitants of earth. These were iiis words: "It is a truth that the spirits of the higher spheres commune with persons in the body by infiu\. although they are unconscious of the fact. This truth will, ere long, present itself in the form of a living demonstra tion. And the world will hail with delight the ushering in of the era." These were "shadows," or premonitions and prophecies of the spiritual dispensa tion, which, from tiie invisible world, be came signally visible and tangible in Hydesville, YY'estern New York, known as the "Rochester knockings." When the clergy, and ourself among the rest, heard of these vrierd spirit manifesta tions. Yve laughed the thiug to scorn: aye. more, we wagged our saintly head® as did the proud Pharisees at the crucifixion of Jesus, and said that the whole affair was collusion aud delusion—toe joints and trickery, psychology aud magnetism—-and I the whole matter must be put down. For I this consummation we devoutly prayed. But the work, whether demoniac or angelic, moved on: neither prayers, pulpits nor public opinion iu anyway checked its progress. True, the beginning was minute, like F'runkliu's string aud kite, ultimating in those magic cables that now girdle tin globe, minute, like Arkwright's cog in flu wheel, resulting in the screw steamers that now whiten oceans with their commercial cargoes minute, like the telegraphic tick ings that Hash news to all lands: minute, like Newton's falling apple that revealed llie marvelous law of gravitation: minute, like Jesus' birth in that Judean manger. preluding the cross before which millions How true, that from the now in reverence smallest events frequently How the grandest results. Scientists, without an Jiour's in vestigation. pronounced the rappings "a humbug.'' Iti doing this, however, they put themselves upon an equality with parrots in their cages. It is admitted that these rapping sounds were but the alphabet leading to the re-opening of the "hook of life." Alphaliets, however, are necessary in God's methods of education. Spirit is potent. YY'herever there w-as a motion, there was mind or spirit force connected therewith as the motive power. Consider the progress. It is now only some twenty-three years since the daAvn of those gentle tappings that summoned secu larism and sectarisnis to judgment. It was the voice of God through angels and minis tering spirits. Defining Spiritualism to mean belief in the holding ot conscious in tercourse with the denizens ot the spirit world, and Judge Edmond's estimate of eleven millions was undoubtedly under rather than over the actual number, as figures would show were an exact census possible. Spiritualism, said the speakf r. was the rising star of progress. Its banner floated to-day beneath all skies. The movement was not local, nor national, hut decidedly cosmopolitan. It flourished the most vigor ous upon intelligent soil. The ignorant and fanatical believed in witches and wizards, hells and devils, and other theological trumpery brought down from a dim. pa ganized past. Spiritualists believed in the necessity of critical investigation, and ac cepted nothing that did not accord with •eason and the due exercise of the highest udgment. There were multitudes of Spir itualists, said the speaker, iu the popular urches. He mentioned several distin guished clergymen who were firm believers m vision, trance, prophecy, and other forms of present spiritual manifestations. Some of these were too cowardly, however, to publicly express their full convictions upon this momentous subject. If might, just for the time being, jeopardize their salaries. "Henry Ward Beecher." says the Louisville Courier-Journal, "continues to make stump speeches iu Brooklyn. New York, at the pitiable price or salary of $20,000 a year." This hardly becomes the followers of'"Him who had not where to lay rds head." After speaking further of the progress of Spiritualism in this country, mentioning the yearly national association, annual State conventions, societies, children's lyeeums and several flourishing periodicals, such as the ltanner of bight, American Spiritualist, etc., he said, referring to other countries, that London published six journals devoted to Spiritualism, viz: Unman Nature. Spir itual Magazine, Medium and Daybreak, Lon jIau Cii■* I■ I. •*f 11,, A— .1 I'. lie, of of and to ma. don Spiritualist The Spiritual" Neirs, and by Christian Spiritualist. Spain printed four Spiritualist periodicals. France three, fordid previous to the war). Italy one. Sicily'one, Hungary one, Brazil one. Australia one—the Harbinger of Light —and Germany several, treating of Spiritualism under the heading of Psychology. While in London, last July, be accompa nied C. Constant. Esq., (from Smyrnai, to the residence of Wiliiaui Crooks, F. R. S., to see his apparatus for experimenting upon the forces connected with physical medium ship. This gentleman from the East, a firm Spiritualist, is gathering material, designing to publish a large volume upon his return to Asia Minor, embodying the teachings of Spiritualism in the Armenian language. While traveling upon the continent and in the East, some three years since, the speaker met Spiritualists anil attended seances in Florence. Naples, Messina. Athens. Constan tinople. Smyrna, aud other localities. Spiritualism iu no way conflicted with the higher inspirations of past Biblical teach ings or the divine truths uttered by Jesus and the apostles. On the Mount Jesus held intercourse with the spirits of Moses and Elias. The early Christians retained their spiritual gifts for over three hundred years after the ascension. It is the spirit that giveth life. The Scriptures are full of vi sions. dreams, prophesies, trances and mar wloiis gilts. And as neither God nor His laws have changed, these tilings may—these signs, gifts ami manifestations do—s-xist in the present. In fact. Jesus said: "These signs shall follow' them that believe." And again: Lo 1 I am with you always." Eighteen years of earnest and critical in ves tigations of these spiritual marvels in this country, in Europe, iu Smyrna. Scutari. Constantinople and other portions of the East had rewarded the speaker with the blessed knowledge ot immortality. 1'aui enjoined the men of his time to" add to their faith knowledge." This is the charge. 1 said he. I give to gnu. Houses and homes, wealth and fame were mutable. The body was perishable. The spirit iu it was tiie real man. The bones in the human temple may be considered the main timbers: the blood the watery ele ment: the head the topmost story: the eyes the windows; while back behind these walls of flesh, blood, bones and nerves, the con scious immortal man lived, reasoned and arranged all plans of ae ion. Death sev ered the copartnership between the body and the spiritual man. Earth returns to its earth. The spirit is free to roam space, re turning at will to the loved ones of earth. Memory is eternal. Love is a bud that opens on earth to bloom forever in the hot ter land. These beautiful truths of Spirit ualism brush away the mourners' tears; give the sweetest answer to prayer; inspire to the loftiest efforts, aud bring the peace and joy of the heavenly life down to earth. __ Those who accept the divine principles of Spiritualism, and live iu them, enjoy that peace "which flows like a river." The most advanced Spiritualists had as yet but just entered the vestibule of the grand temple. They are yet to have their day of Pentecost. Emma Harding Britton, in referring to this spiritual movement, said inspirationally "Can we come to any other conclusion than that this Pentecostal day is t<> lead to the coming of a second Messiah He is not yet in our midst; we are only listening to the voices crying in the wilderness. These voices come to us in the form of a spiritual science. But I do know that the baptism of fire is yet awaiting us, when we shall he found worthy. Fire consumes, but it does not annihilate: it change®, but does not destroy." The church spiritual of the future would he both religious and scientific. Love would be its baptism, aud the "fruits ot the spirit.'*pcaee. purity, and "all things in common" its daily eueharist. Then exhort ing the spiritualists to energy, enthusiasm, ami a more thorough consecration to their principles, he announced the subject for the evening—"the doctrines and tendencies of Spiritualism." I I THE UUlKTs. Tiie Supreme Court has now under ad visement the ease of the Bossier Board of School Directors against the Auditor, ap pealed by the Governor from the Eighth District Court. A devolutive appeal has been granted from the judgment tendered in tlie Eighth District Court in the School of Medicine case, on application of the Merchants' Iu surauce Company. In the Sixth District Court suit lias been brought against the Germania Life Insur ance Company by Catherine, wife of John Hath, tor $looo.

Jaquillard transferred to his si-ter. Catherine Hath, all his right in the policy, of which the company was notified. Jaquillard died in September last, and proof ot his demise w as made to Philip 1). Mayer, agent of the company, who has re fused to pay tho $1000. F. J.

A rare combination of talent will appear on the stage, such as the Chapman sisters, as sisted by Mr. E. A. Locke, Mr. John Col lins. the Irish comedian, and Mr. Hen DelJar. Miss Jane Coombs closed her pleas ant engagement last night. The Chapman sisters commence an engagement to-tuor row evening for one week. Arndeiny of Muslr.

"Why." said Tommy, "didn't you tell me. ma. that I was always to take her part Iu Hartford it is one of the duties of the police force to return truants to school, and during the past two months they report the return of four hundred and tittv truants. Little girls in Germany work for doll manufacturers and taxidermists, and earn money by making eyes: little girls else where "make faces." and do it for nothing. A Missourian, treed by a bear, caused the beast to desist from chewing his left leg off' by sprinkling salt in his eyes. ON CARONDKI.ET hthkkt. Cotton winds up the notes of the week in an orchestral accompaniment to New York—all pieces engaged. The better con dition which closed that market yesterday was echoed here in large sales made when prices were already about to bound upward, and, consequently, transacted at a disad vantage to buyers. Some sales were ope rated only under an eighth advance beyond Friday. None were made lower than on that day. and it is deemed by cotton wisea cres that we are in the midst of another "spasmodic shoot." from which the smoke will soon clear away. Gold is again on the ascent, and is here rising beyond the range of 110. Among financial men the illness of the Prince of Y\ ales was still the topic of discussion, but the current of opinion ap|K-ared to settle down into the belief that not much of aeon fusion would result in the event of his de mise. The English people are not so easily moved into a civil melee as iu France, and from,a strong government to a condition of chaos there is more than a single step. Such are the conclusions reached by those who are deeply interested in the stability of the government aud hence the security of its securities. Domestic exchange contains none of the elements of variation. During the week it has been steady as a liberty pole. Foreign bas ceased to show the first ele ments of oscillation, and is untouched by foreign advices, upon the truth of which gold and solid securities hang in great sus jK'nse. There :s a growing impression that the day o: fancy stocks has waned. The busi ness in the mi has played out. The last agony ot this branch of brokerage was when Levee stock went down into the shades of $2 50, and "the big disgust" which reigned in the bosoms of speculators then has not ceased to operate since. The fancies are all going to the wall, if they have not arrived at that destination before, and deep as the pocket may be it can not carry these now without loss. Is it not rational to suppose that stocks which provide no security against "watering."that are not numbered nor checked off', aud which can he transferred without access to the books, should depreciate whi n the pa per mill no longer "plies its avocation Improvement companies by the score, with canal and timber facilities, as well as emigration companies, are already dead. It is scarcely possible that "outsiders," upon whom the brokers live, and whose orders they expect to till, should become disgusted and tail to see any interest in such dealings. The market is growing duller by the day. Only Slaughterhouse, Mississippi and Mexican Gulf, and Am monia, are ever spoken of or alluded to. Even in these, orders are filled quietly aud without ostentation, while the chorus of light stocks are mersed in a background shadow, out of which nothing hut an act of the Legislature giving them -State aid will ever rescue them—alive. Slaughterhouse improves. 572 shares sell ing yesterday at $13 STh. In small amounts it could not he had less than $20.

The Abbott Pantomime Company will follow Mrs. Bowers at the Academy of Music, anti commence an engagement there Monday evening of next week. The "Three Hunchbacks" will he the initial entertain ment. with Charles Abbott as Simple Simon. presenting to the public acrobatic feats, startling transformations, and a fine exhibi tion of the Moe brothers on the parlor skates. Tiie St. Louis Democrat says of the Olympic Theatre there: The presence of pantomime is suggestive of the holidays, when good nature prevails and fun reigns supreme. Harlequin. Panta loon and Chum are inseparable from Christ mas good things. One laughs at them just as forefathers laughed at "Punch aud Judy," those little creatures who were forever in dulging iu mischief which produced such a horrid knocking of heads together, and long, deep-voiced prayers and admonitions of the choked little clergyman. Boys and girls, grown tall, enjoy to the full the queer antics of tiie clown and the laughter of Panlahton. The wonderful evolutions of Harlequin and Columbine are always re ceived with applause, and in fact there is little in the exhibition which doe® not pro mote mirth The Temperature.
