The number of little boys, between the ages of ten

Court has grown to be a subject of remark. They go
early, and occupy the most prominent seats, and ea
gerly gather in all the rascality and obscenity which is
daily exposed there. Parents would do well to inquire
into this matter, as the pol ce have under considera
tion tho propriety of excluding this cla>s of visitors

her of tho fact that a huge sum of money had been

of Missouri. We do not know what the amount ia*

The Hop.—The evening’s entertainment at the
Kimball House was the only recherche affair of the
week. It was a gratifying feature taat the guest* were
composed of tho very boat and cleverest people of
town. It waa a great improvement on last Thursday
evening. Tbo hall was just comfortably filled, and
every one felt at home and easy.
While the costumes of some of tho ladies was a
little "extensive,” yet it is the understanding that all
to appear in every day parlor suits. As has been
stated, these hops are gotten up solely for recreation
and pastime, and are not considered dress balls. The
company last night was all that any one conld desire
or pleasure, and the old-fashioned “Lancers,”
White Creek Reel,” and other homo amusements
were in order.

The alarm of fire, sounded about ten o’clock la6t
night, was caused by the burning of a two-story frame
building belonging to a negro. Tho house was situ
ated near the RolliDg Mill, and was entirely consum
ed, though the engines were promptly out but failed
to reach the scene in timo. We did not ascertain
whether it was covered by insurance.

POLICE COURT REPORT.
Mri. Henry K. CtirielUn bu written to Captain
Johnson, of the Police, a yery bandaom letter, compli
menting oflicere. Johneon and Weaver, of the force,
for their prompt and liberal action on the night the
barglare broke into her room. Theeo gentlemen are
capital officers, and partlea Hying In their "beat" may
sleep in peace and safety.
The most economical trap and at the | 1D|| time
the most efficient for mice, is on exhibition at the
Reading Room on Marietta street. In tho day time it
serves as a fly trap, and at night it la baited and uaed
for mice. Flatty Harris says it is unnecessary to let
out the flies which are caught during tbs day, b<cause
they will serve as an allurement for the mice at night.
The weather cleared off yesterday and the clear,
bright snn shown out in perfect glory. A stiff breeze
prevailed all day, which rendered it very much like
fall of the year.
Tickets for the next grand drawing of the Kentncky
Library Association, have been received by Redwine
lc Fox. Whole tickets, this time, are $50—which lets
ns ont. The grand prize, however, is $250,000. We
are not acquainted with any man in this neighborhood
that would know what to do with that amount of cash,
provided he drew it.
The afternoon being fine, fhe usual amount o\
healthy babies were out on the streets yesterday.
Since the session of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fel
lows has been on hand, our streets have presented an
unusually lively and stirring appearance.
The sales at the Live Auction House are immense
and the bargains daily offered there are unexcelled.
Mr. Walter Withers, the Superintendent of Wenona
Temple, was quite successful yesterday in taking
contributions to aid in tte proper reception and en.
tertainment of delegates to the Convention to meet in
this city on the 27ib last. Mr. W. thinks to-morrow
he will secure enough to ensure the'affair being a per
fect soccer*. Let all respond to this call for so worthy
•nob>-t.
“The sun goes down—night gathers fast
And shrouds the earth from view;
And yet the darkness cannot last.
For morning comes anew.
When gayly up the eastern sky
Aurora speeds her way,
The rosy dawn, ascending high,
Soon brightens into day.”
When the rosy dawn of Thursday morning waa
brightning into day, the police fennd Mr. William
Camp trying to “camp awhile in the wilderness” of
the jungles of Decatur street, under the Influence of
soporifics. He made an absurd effort to de-camp, bnt
the guards closed the eamp-aign. A foul allusion to
a lady wss the gravest effense alleged. There are
quite a number of these graceless “bummers” in de
cent thoroughfares, who frequently shock the refined
ear with their disgusting blasphemies. We suppose
there are few citizens who, while walking with ladies
through the streets, have not felt their cheeks to burn
at the expressions loudly echoed forth from the beast
ial lips of bar-room swaggerers, and felt a titilating
sensation in the toe of the foot to elevate some of the
contemptible blackguards.
B. Moore, from his conduct and general behavior
might be considered by the casual observer as a blood
relation to “Ah Sin,” was np for failing to abate a
aance >1 the celebrated Willingham building. The
sewer pipe had gotten out of order, and the police had
notified R., which, it appears, failed to take notice.
He came into Conrt with all the airs and self-import
ance of the King of Dahomey, and told Joust
“perceed.” The evidence went to show that the
era of the property were to blame this time, and Ah
got off gratuitously.
John Reagan, who is no earthly relation to the late
Postmaster-General of the C. S. A., bnt the pampered
minion of the bloated aristocracy of Jenningstown,
picked np very drunk in the streets, and bronght in
on a shutter, to the music ol the following “stave,”
which he sang himself to the air of “Maryland, my
Maryland:”
“I'll never see the any more—
Whisky sling, Oh, whisky sling.
I’ve drunk thee now for years, a score.
Whisky sling, my whisky sling;
And to be parted now I’m sure.
Although we’ve parted twice before,
Doth sting me to the very core.
Whisky 8 ing, lost whisky sling.”
He paid ten slings and made way for Wm. Cain,
who it must be understood, is not the individual who
slew Abel, but rather the individual who “got slewed.”
He made a donation of ten dollars to keep down the
excitement, and retired.
A. Chisolnm, invested what he bad left after paying
his week’s board, in a quart of knock-em-atiff, and re
paired to tho suburbs to enjoy his purchase. He suc
ceeded in geitiog up a first-class melo-dramatic drunk,
and was arrestel. He has been on the docket for sev
eral days, but was never ready for trial. The hospital
attendants hal concluded that he waa trying to “chiz-
zle-em” ont of what was due outraged municipal jus
tice, and brought him up whether or no, yesterday.
A. C. plead guilty without patting on any airs, and he
gets off by paying ten and costs.
John Brown, whose soul is still supposed to be
marching a’ong, appeared in propria ptrtonce before
the Court, on a charge of inciting a small Harper’,
Ferry revolt among the contented sovereigns of Frog
town. Failing in this, he threw himself, with all the
ardnousnc88 of his nature, entside of a pint of old
Jamaica rum, and sat down and waited for events,
conscious of the curious gaze of the passing traveler,
and unmindful of the affectionate tickle of the buzzing
insects who sported about his Grecian noae, and con
soling himself poetically, that if his sleep shall be
perpetual, he will—
“Leave his children, when he dies.
The richest cabinet of flies.”
The officer concluded that Brown was treating him
self unjustly, and persuaded him to come to judg
ment. He went down for a few days, and will have
time to pick his flint and come again for another raid.
Mollie Jones, an illustrious female poetess of Sher-
mantown, now engaged in writing metrical biogra
phies of the symmetrical heroines of that neighbor
hood, for the literary newspapers of Covington, was
up on a charge of unpremeditated drunk. Mollie
made no denial whatever, bnt acknowledged the corn
with a meekness worthy of a better cause. The only
testimony was that of the gallaut guard, who said:
Personal Intelligence.
Dr. Keaton, wife and daughter, of Dallas, Texas, are
stopping in the city at a private boarding house on
Mitchell street.
Hon. A. II. Stephens was out on the streets yester
day. He still uses his crutches, otherwise his health
is uncommonly goed.
Here they go. A portion of he Street Committee of
the City Couocil, consisting of Aldermen Young and
McMillen. were out on an inspection tour yesterday
driving a 2:40 horse. They passed and repassed the
Sewer Committee, consisting of the Mayor, together
with Aldermen Dodd, Boring, Brotherton, Sparks,
Goldsmith and Morris, who were plodding alODg a
footback, tired and wearied. The Mayor returned to his
office in bis stocking feet, his “corns” having taken a
fresh growth on the tramp.
Robert Schmidt Las been appointed ageDt of the
Central Railroad at this place, to fill the vacancy made
by the resignation of H. P. Clark.
Corporal Johnnie S. Hawkins leaves this morning
for Snmmerville, in Chattooga county. He carries
with him a box of paper collars (Dickens), and a pair
Thompson Whites.” Ha goes to “ tread once
more his native heath,” and while his name is not
McGregor, he proposes to “clean out” the mountains
•e he returns.
Our old friend Lewis Schcessler, of Columbus, is
here, attending the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows. Iu
the “long ago” Lewis and “us” were ever understood
partners in the universal game of “ knucks,” with
which Alabama abounded in those days.
We had pleasant calls last night from Messrs. W. D.
Stone and C. A. King, of that sterling paper the Mon-
Advertiser; Dr. Blackburn, of tho Barnesville
Patriot, and Mr. Mirabeau L. Towns, a brilliant young
lawyer and writer of Newnan.
Billy Stone, the handsome and live editor of the
Monroe Advertiser, called in to see us last evening.
Since “Bill” has arrived at man’s estate, and, more re
cently, to that of the editorial list, we have not seen
much of him. But a vivid recollection of the way in
which Capt. Blanchard, now of this city, used to
maul” the rudiments of the classics into our youth
ful heads, down in Alabama, comes over us with re
freshing brilliancy.
Col. King, of the same paper, was also iu our office
last evening.
Jno. Schuler and Clarence S. Wayne, formerly sales-
ien and traveling agent respectively, for Eugene
Jairred, a jeweler of this city, have been arrested for
stealing eight thousand dollars’ worh of property
from him. They left his employment about two
months ago, to go into business for themselves, and
perpetrated the robbery at that time.

ItalianPgmticalProspects.—The Roman
correspondent of the Corriere di Milano, wri
ting on the 17th instant, says that M. Ming-
hetti is occupying the time until the next
meeting of Parliament in preparing the finan
cial measures which are to be submitted to
the chamber. So far as can be ascertained,
he will not, like M. Sella, propose new taxes,
bnt a redaction in the expenditure. 4 ‘But,"
proceeds the correspondent, “how he will
manage to save ont of other votes the fifteen
million asked for by the Minister of War it
is difficult to see. M. Sella will undoubtt
edly attack the new ministry, if no-
mmediately, at least in the course of
the next parliamentary session. He is
far from being so tired of political life as
many people think. On the contrary, he is
more pugnacious than ever, and next Novem
ber he will combine with the moderate men
of the right and left centre to form a new and
strong party, which wiii probably cause con
siderable embarraasment to the ministry. Iu
a word, he will inherit the position of Rattaz-
zi in the Italian parliament, and dethrone
the worthy Depretip. Meanwhile he is going
to fiiella, and thence to Vienna, to rest in
Germany after the hard work of the last few
years. Depretis is said to have left Rome in
profound discouragement. He had hoped
that alter the division which had placed him
at the head of the opposition he would be
able to keep together the members of the left
and form them into a united party, but a
month’s experience showed him that this was
quite impossible. The extreme left insisted
that Depretis shonld certainly protest against
the way in which the ministerial crisis was
terminated; it demanded that as soon as
Minghetti informed the chamber of the for

ask Minghetti to form a ministry, and that
any protest would, therefore, only do harm to
those who made it Upon this the Left had
numerous meetings on the subject, but all
their proposals were rejected by Depretis, and
ultimately the idea of a protest had to be
abandoned, much to the satisfaction of the
President, Bi&nchieri, who feared, up to the
last moment, that the affair would not be set
tled without a public scandal. But the con
sequence of Depretis’ opposition to the wishes
of the Left soon became manifest, for only
yesterday a few members of that party who
are still in Rome held a meeting at which it
was resolved that another leader should be
appointed, as Depretis had made it impossible
for the party to act successfully against the
Right so long as it remained under his direc
tion.
The Sea Serpent Again.—The steadily re
curring sea serpent, true to its reputation, has
appeared again, but has this time thrown its
pursuers off the track by making Lake Cham
plain the point of its visibility. The White
hall Times, describing it, says:
“ As he Tapidly swam away, portions of his
body, which seemed to be covered with bright
silver-like scales, glistened in the sun like
burnished metal. From his nostrils he would
occasionally spurt streams of water above his
head to an altitude of twenty. The appear
ance of his head was round and fiat, with a
hood spreading out from the lower part of it
like a rubber cap often worn by mariners, with
a cape to keep the rain from running down
his neck. His eyes were small and piercing,
his mouth broad and provided with two rows
of teeth, which he displayed to his beholders.”
But he left no card, and the mystery is not
lifted from him.

Alleged Kidnapping of a Brook
lyn Girl.
The Hackensack (N. J.) Republican of a
recent date publishes the following singular
story : “ On Sunday afternoon a young girl
of respectable appearance called at a cottage
near the Highland Station, find asked ‘ Where
is Brooklyn ?’ The question was so odd, and
the girl appeared so strauge, that the State
Marshal, Mr. H. P. Deinarest, was sent for.
He questioned the child, and elicited a start
ling story. She gave her name—which at
present we shall not publish—and that
of her parents in Brooklyn, and their
street and number. She stated that
morning to vi-it an aunt residing in New
York, and, on reaching the Battery, waited
for a Tenth avenue car. While waiting, she
saw a carriage standing near, aud noticed it—
that it was rather shabby, the varnish rubbed
oft', the horses, one white aud the other dark,
and poor hacks at that. While thus walking
and waiting, a man, w ho came along as if to
Dass her, suddenly threw a flannel cloth over
ler head. She remembered nothing more
until, as if waking from a dream, she found
she was in a close carriage, and somebody was
just going out, shutting the door behind him.
She, moreover, heard the person say, “By
! it’s all day with us. if we don’t get away
from here pretty soon.” Bousing still more,
she discovered that tho carriage was broken
down, and peeping out, she saw two men in
slouched hats, 200 or 300 yards off, appa
rently looking for something. When their
backs were turned, she contrived to escape
unseen into the woods. Her escape
must have been somewhere near Foil
Lee. She described a gravej'ard which she
passed that seems to have been the Catholic
jurying ground, and she remembers passing
tho Eaglewood Presbyterian Church. But
she wandered on until she reached the cot
tage where Mr. Demarest found her. Mr.
W. G. Vtrmnye, living near, also came in,
and tho two gentlemen brought the poor
young creature—she is only fourteen—to the
Englewood depot. Here they telegraphed to
her father, nnd took her to the house of a
friend. The father did not get his telegram
until 10 o’clock, p.m., but then came directly
on, reaching the house where the child was
about midnight. Mr. Demarest has seen the
father, and he finds the girl’s statement quite
correct. The poor thiug was, on Sunday,
still so much under the influence of tho nar
cotic that she dozed off while telling her st©-
Sho furthermore says that, for some
weeks past, she has been followed by an old
woman, who was striving to decoy her away,
nnd who threatened that she would have her
before long. The girl thinks she could iden
tify at least one of the men; but it is to be
feared the chances of arrest are now small.”
Senator Harlan’s Washington Chronicle of
yesterday morniug condemns the present sys
tem of competitive examinations for the civil
service in the strongest terms, declaring that
they are unequal, unjust, and a failure. It
says that the execution of the rules will result
in lowering the standard of official abilit/ and
excellence. Examinations in many instances
are conducted without any reference to the
object to be attained, aud in direct opposition
to the ordinary rules that govern and control
business men in the selection of their assist
ants. The Chronicle further says there may
be some good in the system, but thus far no
evidences of it have been shown either in its
execution or in the selections made under its
rales other than that which might have result
ed had there beeu no civil-service examina
tion whatever. At a recent examination for
positions in the Treasury Department twcuty-
three or twenty-four successful ones were fe
male school-teachers, nearly all residents of
Washington.
The special correspondent of the Commer
cial Bulletin, writing from Vienna under date
of June 17, speaks as follows of several arti
cles on exhibition in tho American depart
ment :
A small printing press, American, but sent
here from a London office, strikes off cards
and circulars as fast as they have orders, and
a patent for cutting out garments is real Yan
kee—cutting twenty thicknesses at a time.
Mr. Alban Worth is the inventor and manu
facturer, and claims that he has the only self-
cutting and feeding machines in the world.
Howe lias a few sewing machines here for
competition; and just beyond, occupying a
fine site, is a lull lino of Fairbanks scales for
evety possible use, aud arranged for all
countries. There is nothing intended for
uso which comes np to these in the exhibi
tion, though there are many exhibitions of
scales.
Among tue guests at Halle, Austria, are a
number of Russian nnd Austrian children,
nearly all of whom can speak the English
language. This is especially the case with
the Russian aud North German children.
They are in charge of governesses, aud their
general conversation is in English, though
they speak French and their native tongue
also. A little Russian, less than five years of
age, speaks very correctly in English, French
and Russian. We were astonished a day or
two since at hearing a voice under our win
dow exclaiming: “William, if you do not
come here this minute I will tell your moth
er.” The children are taught to speak Eng
lish, although their parents have no knowl
edge of the language. This would indicate
that the next generation will at least speak
our language more extensively than the pres
ent do. So much for President Grant’s pre
diction.—[Letter from Mr. Fulton.
A new and cruel invention at Long Branch
is the introduction of living butterflies into
the centre-pieces of flowers, which usnaily
adorn the middle of the table of the fashiona
ble dinner and supper parties. The poor in
sects are fastened by a fine wire, which is
passed through their bodies and concealed
among the flowers. The convulsive quiver of
the expanded wings, as tho tortured butterfly
struggles in its dying agonies, is supposed to
represent charmingly the graceful waves of
the same above some freshly-opened flower.

A great Horror done away with.
House cleaning is a great horror to nine
men men out of every ten. When that time
comes tho “men folks,” as a rule, give the
domestic hearth a “wide berth.” Oceans of
suds — the product of tons of soap—fairly flood
every part of the house. The women, from
the mistress down, labor as they never worked
before, and wliat with the discomfort, the
smell of suds and the dampness, and not un-
frequently sickness, the product ot colds and
overw ork, matters are generally disagreeable.
The simple use of Sapolio instead of soap
does away with all this discomfort It light
ens the labor a hundred per cent., because it
removes dirt, grease, stains and spots, with
hardly any labor, with but little water, and in
one-tenth the usual time. nng8-lw

It is reported that before wtillug for Europe
n few ditjrs siuco Mr. A. T. Stewart made a
new will, in which it was thought proper to
make a xchedule aud valuation of its real and
E ersonal estate, nnd that, to tha surprise of
imself and those engaged in the details, it
was found that he was worth about $100,000,-
000. That Mr. Stewart will prove himself a
good steward of this vast fortune can scarcely
be doubted. Already he has commencsd ad
ministering on his own estate by the erection
of the Btately “Working-woman's Home,” in
Fourth avenue, and it is scarcely probable
that he will content himself with that work
of benevolence. Wo were told a few days ago
by an experionced railway superintendent that
the road-beds, ties, steel rails, do., of Mr.
Stewart's railroad to Hempstead were by far
the best of any railroad in America.— llarjttr.
