In reference to the departure from the
Crescent City of Mr. I. W. Burt, who has re
cently assumed the position of assistant to
Mr. Popple in the Signal office, the New Or
leans Times of a late date, says :
“Mr I. W. Burt, for some time connected
with the Signal Bureau here, and a faithful
and a competent officer, has been ordered to
report at Savannah, where he has been as
signed to duty. For the many courtesies ex
tended by Mr. Burt, the Times expresses its
thanks, and we commend him to our breth

Some of the industrious Russian astrono
mers suppose they have discovered that the
moon is inhabited, and that a number of lu
nar observers have hoisted an immense mir
ror for the purpose of catching reflections
from the earth. A peculiarly bright spot
which has been shining on the edge of the
moon for months has led them to the sup
position. From this discovery it may be
inferred that unless the gentlemen in the
moon put a curb on their curiosity, they may
drop down upon us any day; and if our
ideas of civilization should not happen to
agree with theirs, we should, of course, have
a real old-fashioned inter planetary row on
our hands.

Tli.it liar bur-on *4 Ordinance.
During tile past summer our pious
City Fathers attempted to build up a
Simon Pure reputation lor gen line
Christianity by passing an ordinance
requiring the barber shops in our city
to close up altogether on undays.
We don’t know exactly what could
have prompted Council in tii.it .-qms
inodic effort to inveigle the e ,in-chop
pers to observe the entire E.bbath
day, hut we presume that it was done
byway of an offset to contributing
more uiokle for the support of heath
ens. Our very In art bursts with sym
pathy for the poor tousori artists,
who, for several years past, have t-eeu
held iu perfoo siuver (aye wot so than
slavery), from sunrise till 10 a. m. on
F>un lay mornings—and, oh, how kind
it was in a Christian Council to come
to their rescue and thus, by i single
stroke of the pen, liberate them from
tousoriul bondage. The tee- ption of
that ordinance was the signal h r a
general outburst of barbar-ou.-. enthu
siasm. Why so great was tiu appre
ciation iu some quarters that the pa
triotic face scrapers rushed fruuticallj
to their luxurious hom> sand ??ia'.ched
the framed copy of Lincoln’s Fr. ed.oui
Proclamation from the wall and ported
instead the ordinance of our noble
City Council, which gives them ample
time to play a gone of “seven-up”'
before go'ng to church on unday
mornings. And now in behalf oi' our
tax-payers we desire to know why in
the name of heavens hasn’t Council
made an appropriation to buy the
poor boys red flannel tights an 1 copies
of the base bill mauuel, that, they
might better enjoy the national game?
Why shouldn’t they be encouraged in
this healthy exercise? Why ar the
poor barbers neglected thusly? It is
a shame and an outrage ■ a a Christian
community, and our citizens cry aloud
for Reform, and must have it Why
just think of it for a momtnt —how
cruel that a poor barber shou and have
to work for an hour or two here in a
city when a citizen can’t get his bit
ters on Sundays unless'he pulls it out
of a bottle at home. No, gentleman,
the barber must be protected iu ob
serving the Sabbath, aud since they
are too pious to handle a razor on
that day, Council should take the
matter in hand at once aud see that,
they are furnished with red flannel
tights and base ball manual-.; a bunch
of tracts and a pint of pea nuts might
be very appropriately thrown iu, too,
for, lo the poor barber must and shall
oe protected in his efforts to get base
bail aud mumble-the-peg leisure on
Sabbath day.

-To flic (Ladies.
Capt. Plonk lias just opened a neat
oyster saloon on York street, near
Bull, for the special accommodation of
ladies aud gentlemen. His saloon has
an air of neatness about it that is sure
to encourage a good appetite, and
juding from the fine lot of Cedar Iveys
oysters which ho has on hand, w can
bat conclude that the Captain is deter
mined to look out for the interest oi
the ladies during the season, and we
trust he will receive a liberal patron
age at their hands. Fee his auvertise

There is already in Paris a company for

such as seems to thrive m several parts of

whole affair will be perfect, only lacking an
American branch tor divorces, to carry out
the idea to its fullest extent.
In a late letter on international copyright
