. 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.

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.

After suffering so much contumely

that he should now bo treated with
