ARREST OF MABQUEKADBRS. .--Yefl t,erd*y being the fTqwish, ,Fnfim Fes? tiva^ -with a vre vr of prov en tin g any disturbance in the st routs, Superin? tendent Kennedy issued a general order to "arrest all maskers found iu'.. the streets. " As very often happens, the order was very literally construed in some precincts, and the result was that a large number of all sorts of costumes gave the cells of several station houses a picturesque appearance zt r.u early nour Jost evening. It is tho custom among those of the Hebrew faith to make visits on the Purim nights ia fancy dress, and in observing this custom Inst evening, tbny found themselves pounced on by the police and drag? ged from ther carriages into a station house. The matter created so great au alarm, that au appeal was made to Inspector Walling at police head? quarters, by tho friends of some of incarcerated, and the Inspector at ouco sent out au order notifying the captains that the order of the morn? ing applied only to suoh persons as should be found wnlkiug the streets wearing masks, and that they bad no authority to interfere with any person riding, no matter in what kind of vehicles. This explanation released all of tho imprisoned, except several in tho seventh precinct sta? tion house, who were arested walking the streets in fancy dress and wear? ing masks. These will bo arraigned this morning at thc Essex Market Police Court. The most of tho ar? rests were made in tho Diuth and fourteenth precincts, aud natural? ly created much indignation among tho captured ones and their friends. Duriug thc entire evening, parties made their appearance at police headquarters, making energetic pro? tests against the treatment their friends had received while engaged, as they said, iu the observance of an aunual custom of their faith, never before interfered with by tho police, aud never having been productive of any disturbance whatever. [New York Times, Olh. GIANT PHANTOMS ON TIIE BATTLE? GROUND OP NASHVILLE.-Most of our readers know the location of three bald-head hills-rendered so by the ravages of tho late war-lying be tweeu tho Charlotte pike and the river, in sight of and some two miles distant from the capitol. The outer lines of tho Federal work > may still bo seen along their sides and crests, but there ure no houses, trees, or fences, to further break the dull monotony of their outlines. Let any oue who is desirous of witnessing a most startling natural phenomenon, which throws the mirage of the plains and tho mist visions of the Scottish coast entirely in the shade, I ascend tho central mound in a direct I line from the city, on nny clear day, I about an hour by the sun. When half way up the declivity he will sec i other hills, palpable, even to grass I clumps and little stoues, gradually j risiug in tho air, beyond the ones he j is ascending. If he pauses, these I huge phantom? remain stationery; if , ho advances, they continuo to riso ! before him, until within a few yards of the entrenchments, when they suddenly vanish into nothingness, like scenes in a dissolving view. How long this strange freak <>". mist and sunlight hns held court near ns it is impossible to say, for except some superstitious whisperings of I negroes, nothing bas been definitely i known until within the past week. [Nashville Dispatch, 10'v ult. We do not wonder that Mr. Ashley is indignant at not being- made chairman of tho Impeachment Maua? gers, or oven a member of that body. After suffering so much contumely for thc part he has heretofore played in the busin ss, it is unendurable that he should now bo treated with silent neglect, and that others should reap the glory from all his previous labors. Mr. Ashley, however, need ? not feel too much chagrined. Let ! him wait patiently till the end, uud j see how much glory accrues from it 'after all.-Neto V>>rk Times, \ The Minnesota Soitthwes! states I that in that vicinity, duriug a recent ! heavy snow-storm, a wolf got into a trap that was fast to an eight-foot I oak rail, and after dragging it about j twenty rods, broke thc chain and ! ?eui, on with tho trap on his foot. The hunters pursued tho animal seven miles iu sight, but had to give ap tho chase. The wolf afterwards I carno back, got in another trap, and | started off ivith it, clog and .?ll, and when shot, both traps wore found ou j its feet, after carrying the first ono j i :?t two weeks. i An artist, showing lm picture to a customer, received the following sharp retort: ''Well, I don't think much of this!" said vhe customer, holding np. tho picture before bi m. "Don't think much of it? "Why, that is a very rare print-very rare print, in? deed, sir!" "Rare! I've no doubt it ia rave-it certainly Is not welt done." The editor of the Warrenton ?Senti? nel says that farmers in that vicinity wbo hare substituted white for black laborers, express themselves as highly pleased with the change and declare that, for $10 a month, ono white laborer does as much work in a day, ns a negro ordinarily did in two days. At a recent court ball iu Paris, General Dix was attracted by tho gorgeous uniform of a Belgian of? ficer, and had a long conversation with the wearer. Napoleon laughed at the spectacle, for the officer's uni? form covered only a secret police spy. John Murray, a farmer, went into Hamilton, Canada, recently, and, having drunk too much whiskey, lay down on thc side-walk, and waa found frozen fast to the ground. The police had much difficulty in cutting him out. A Western editor remarks that he is glad to receive marriage notices, but requests that they be sent soon after the ceremony and before the divorce is applied for. He has had several notices spoiled in this way. Somebody says it is "folly to ex? pect n girl to love aman whom every? body speaks well of. Got up a per? secution and her affections will cling so faat that a dozen guardians can't remove them." A French gentleman, who had heard rum called spirits, went into a hotel a few evenings since and called for a glass of punch, requesting at the same time that it should bo made of "ghosts from tho Vest Iudies." A firm in England put np some prepared meat for a firm in New Zealand, and by directions had the packages labelled "Canned Mission? aries." The natives cleaned out the stock in two days. The managers of railroads will re? gard tho past winter as oue in which the frost has cost them much more than snow usually does. It has been pre-eminently the season of broken wheels, axle ami rails. Klopstock engraved on the grave of his wife two sheaves of wheat, thrown, as it were, carelessly toge? ther, with the words: "We shall ripon in Heaven." A clergyman in a town near Que? bec, whose congregation were lax in the payment of his salary, struck the other Sunday and brought them to terms. Quilp, who has heretofore beeu a uuiversalist, now believes there are two things destined to te eternally lost-his umbrella and the mau who stole it. A witness before the Common Council of Chicago agreed that he would tell the truth as nearly as possible, as much of it as possible, and as little as the}' wished him. A young lady somnambulist in St. Louis, recently, attempted to enact in her sleep tho tragedy of a novel she had read in her wakiug hours, by stabbing her sister with a table knife. A process has been invented by which scraps of leather are worked over into large sheets, so that the new article is as good as the piece from which the scraps came. "I have lost flesh," said a toper to his companion. "No great loss," said tho other, "as yon have made it np in spirits." "Thou rainest in this bosom," as the chap said when the basin of water was thrown over him by the lady ho was serenading. Thad. Steveus has been dying a long timo.
