The freedom of the city is now advertised and thrust upon the world; the day was when non-resi dents not slave holders were not al lowed thc freedom of the city and all men now rejoice at thc happy consu mation and see in it thc dawn of era, whose brightness shall eclipse the glory of the past. Two new cotton factories are in successful operation here now paying dividends. A new shot tower has been finished of recent date and an additional sugar refinery, added to thc industries of the city. Founderies and machine shops have long been in successful operation, and coopering by improved machinery is a grand addition which is necessary to meet the great demand for tierces, bar rels and hogsheads for the crops of rice, sugar and molasses, long lines of which may be seen laying on the Levee and in tho store houses near th* docks. It is said that the South is capable of producing ten times as much ip all of the above staples by energy and improved methods, which, when added to the yield of wheat and live stock from the prairies of the West, we will then offer for sale, possibly, more than any nation on earth. a new Rambler. The Salvation Army of Canada is very much encouraged by the aid and comfort extended to them by the Rev. Dr. Wilson, of St. George's Cathedral, Kingston. He went the other night to a love feast of the army, and stayed till 4 o'clock in the morning, passing the bread around to those who desired it. The Anglican clergy are much scandal ized, and Dr. Wilson has been given a three months' leave of absence. Sir John McDonald, the Canadian premier, has also testified his interest la the work of the Salvation Army by sub scribing |35 to the cause. y Ghostly Ships at Sea. AX OLD SAILOR'S TALES OF CRAFT—STORIES OF THE COAST. PHANTOM Do I believe in phantom ships? Yes, I do." The old sailor was emphatic, so the reporter merely said, " Ah !" " There ain't as much of that sort of shipping afloat as there used to be," continued the old man. "I rather guess steam vessels have sorte scared 'em off the ocean. But still there's a good many more than you'd think, and more than I like to see going about." " Did you ever see any ?" ^ es. Once, when I was second mate of a hark bound from this port to Calcutta, I saw a phantom ship I shall never forget. We were nearing the Cape of Good Hope, light and the weather was thick, night when the sun set and the ! rose, the mist that hung over the'rater gave everything a ghastly appearance ; and our spars and sails as we looked aloft seemed more like those of some phantom vessel than things vou could j take hold of. There were no indien i tions of a blow, and we were scudding I along with our sky-sails and studding : sails set.

The New York Herald of the 20th j ult., under the caption "The Newest Temperance Movement," say» : " A manufacturing firm in Connect!- ( cut have announced to their workmen that, having lost a great deal by eta- I ployes who were under the influence of liquor, they have decided to hire no more men who drink, and they will employers in general there would soon be a marked decrease in the consump tion of rum, for no workman with any fÄ.STÄÄ'Ä 1 ': cause. It is a strange fact that many who lose time, money and health by drinking do not need liquor or care for it, but continue in the habit because, Having once began to frequent bars they are ashamed to stop unless they can devise an unusual excuse. Inabil ity to get work while using liquor will be as large an excuse as any one can desire." Exactly, and when all of facturera and other employers of thc hand of labor, will insist upon the same conditions, not only will there he a " marked decrease iu tho our manu consump tion of rum " but, correspondingly in the decrease of taxation and in the numbers of tho tenantry of our poor houses and jails. There is absolutely no question about this.

The Connecticut firm alluded to, have struck the right note. The Philadelphia Press states that a grandson of John Edger Howard, of Baltimore, and bearing the honored name was recently diseharged from the humble position of turnkey at the pen itentiary, within sight of the homo of his ancestors. Another grandson sought in vain th© position of private secretary to the Mayor. They have a double claim to the gratitude of Balti more, for they are also the grandsons of Francis Scott Key, the author of the " Star Spangled Banner." The Little White House.

The Red Evening Sky. —Professor Brooks, the champion comet discoverer, explains the fiery sunsets and sunrises of the past week by a theory which is both ingenious and startling. He be lieves that the light is of meteoric or cometary nature and that the earth is either passing through a moss of me teoric dust or is enveloped in the tail ol a gigantic comet. If the latter theory be the true one, it is probably not the first experience of the kind, even within the memory of compara tively young people, for astronomers pretty generally hold that the tail of the gigantic comet which biased forth without warning in 1861 must have at leased grazed this world on the day before it startled astronomers and everybody else, shining forth in its im mense proportions, iu the Northwest ern sky, stretching from the horizon to the zenith. " I'm getting disgusted with every thing and everybody?" exclaimed Brown, peevishly. " Wherever I go there is fraud." " I can't say that you do yourself an injustice," remarked Fogg; but where is the need of your being so ingenious ? The utterance of a self-evident truth is only a waste of words, my boy, only a waste of words ."—Boston Transcript,
