lmaring Star and Catholic Messenger, IW OBLrws.a , lIIDAT. MAY is. 1t:8. approval of the changes made by the Chief of Polioe was sufasient. Last Sunday morning 8t. Patrisk's Church was crowded, not only by the immense oongre gatiqn which usually assembles therein, bat by many persons from other and remote con gregations. The oooasion was the unveiling and blessing of a splendid new statue of the 8aored Heart and the solemn con seration of the parish and of all those present to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The ceremonies antecedent to the celebration of Mass were eondncted by the Most Rev. Archbishop. His Grace spoke for sometime about the pleasure which he felt in preasohing to the people of St. atriek's, and also dwelt for a more lengthy e"iro upon the special devotion to the Sacred Hert. The surroundings were suoh as added more effectiveness to the Archbishop's words. The church was densely packed, over 3000 per sons being present. The beautifully decorated altars were aglow with lights, and the whole satred edifice ornamented in the h.ghest style of art. Preceded by a few appropriate re marks, the Very Rev. P. F. Allen read the sot of solemn consecration, which was followed by the Apcestolio benediotion. The oeremo niesa were over about 12:30 p. m. Father Allen deserves the highest enoomiums for his zeal and practical works in the glorious and never-to-be-forgotten past of old St. Patrick's. Txu SBxoxm. Snavncs.-The Washington Post of May 3d, has a synopsis of the report of the sab-oommittee of the Military Committee of theHoueeofRepresentatives, which, for nearly four months, has been investigating the Signal Service. After a thorough examination the sub-oommittee reports that the Signal Servioe is both efficient and economical; that it is growing in popularity, as shown by the faot that thirteen bills have been introduced in the Honse, since the Investigation commenced, calling for as many new stations in different States ; that the evidence offered shows no rea son why the Signal Service should be consoli dated with the coast survey or life saving ser vice; and that it is very desirable, as urged by the Chief Signal Officer, that the service should be more extended in order to benefit the farm ing community more. Also that a memorial signed by all the ocean steamship and marine insurance companies has been addressed to the Hon. A. S. Hewitt, asking him to favor a lib eral appropriation. The Secretary of War has asked for $350,000 for the Signal Service. A memorial to Congress was, during the week, numerously signed at our Cotton Ex change calling for the organization of the Bignal Service upon a permanent basis so as to inoresse its effielency, and urging on Congress the necessity of being liberal in making ap. propriations for it, in order that the Chief Signal Officer may be enabled to established a signal station at the month of the Mississippi, for the better protection of the commerce of New Orleans. Apropos of this, the Chief Sig nal Oflleer has written to Mr. Simons, Chief of the Bureau at this station, expressing gratifi cation at the high state offt foienoy in which the Inspector lately found the local signal office, and notifying Mr. Cashell, the assistant signal efficer, that his name has been placed on the list for promotion. Mr. Cashcll is a graduate of Georgetown College, D. C., and a member of the bar cf the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. He is in doubt whether to wait for the promo tion or commerce practising his profession at once. ST. JOSEPH'8 MAY FSTIYVAL. - This enter tainment opened on Saturday evening, 4 th inat, in the old hall, corner of Derbigny and Com mon streets, which has been made famous in the history of fairs in New Orleans, by the great triumphs achieved in past years. We venture the assertion, without fear of success. ful contradiction, that this old wooden build ing has been tie scene of more successful entertainments of this character, during the last ten years, than any hall, however stately, in the South, and that Rithin its walls a more bountiful supply of the "sinews" has been gathered for church purposes in that time than in any two other edifices. This year, though ex perienced and zealous ladies have taken oharge of the entertainment, and have securcd the as sistance of a committee of energetio gentemen and numbers of winning young ladies, we oan not say that so far the attendance at the ball would indicate as flattering a financial soouccess as has been achieved at previous fairs. The same grand object as that which incited the people to almost herculean efforts in past years remains to be accomplished, with an addi tional stimulant in the knowledge that compa ratively few thonusands of dollars will be reqnired to place the splendid new Church in asuitable condition for nee, while the old Church edificoe is rapidly crumbling to decay. The lady managers at this Festival are as aealous and courteous as were those at past entertainments, and their young lady assist ante are as pretty and ladylike as wereany that ever bewitched the visitors at other fairs, while all the acoessories of eatables end drink ables, articles for sale, reafle and contest, com pare favorably in all respects with tho best we have seen at other festivals. liBut our community is poverty-stricken; many have abeolutsly nothing to give, even for so inport ant an enterprise, and others who could afford to be very generous three years ago are ashamed to visit a fair now and by spending only a few dollars, acknowledge that they are not as well off as they were. This is not the proper spirit-all who can should give a help ing hand. The man who has only a dollar to spare contributes mote than that amount, for his presence in the hall makes things lively and pleasant, encourages the ladies and may, perhaps, be the means of bringing other visitors. We cmanet undertake to describe the many beatifual arttolas that embjlish the ball, ** * * * ********=sd krr s~or shall we attempt to give the names of even one twentieth part of the ladies who have gen erousely consented to devote themselves by f their labors and presence in the hall to the eoceess of the Festival. Our space permits only the mention of the names of a few of the principal lady managers, and one or two of the more important articles in cases where a decision could be arrived at as to which were the most important. They I were as follows, commencing on the right hand side upon entering the hall : Fendt' Retreat-Mrs. Gee. Swarbrlck, Mrs J. R. S. Selleck. Mrs. John Powers and Mrs. J. T. Gibbons. smisted by twenty five young ladies. Cottn Plat-Mrs. WOi. Culllnan. Mrs. Ed. Keenan and Miss Annie Cull, assisted by Mrs. T. Desmond.

In an address delivered in New York recent ly, Congressman Waddell, of North Carollna, said that in his good old conservative State, which was so averse to the late war between the North end South, the number of soldiers exceeded the number of voters by 6000, a fact which he thought was without a parallel.
