LOCAL MATTERS.
3larsli Juveniles.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather there was a good audience at
Concert Hall last night, to witness the
performances of this truly wonderful
troupe of children. Little George, as
Schnapps, was the centre of attraction,
though Miss Louise played the Queen of
the Naiads to perfection, and Hiss Cabby
as Rupert made a capital lover, and SI aby
was equally correct in her delineations,
and in "Nan the Good for Nothing,”
displayed a perfect appreciation of the
character. In short the whole troupe
evince the dramatic power of “old sta
gers,” notwithstanding it is only three
years and a half since they were organ
ized, and they have seldom witnessed
any dramatic performance save their
own. No apologies are needed for their
inexperience—since there is a natural
ness and native grace in all their delin
eations which the conventionalities of
dramatic art would not improve.
The scenery and tableaux are gorgeous
and attractive, and a very pleasing
feature of the performance last night
was the military evolutions of the
Naiads.
To-night they appear in the romantic
drama of the Brigand, or the Rollers of
Italy. After which, a grand Chinese
dance, by sixteen of the troupe. The
performances will conclude with the
popular farce of Toodlts.

A Hoy Shot.
Alluding to the casualties of theholi
days on yesterday, we omitted to notice
the shooting of a lad named Jehu Cason
by Charles Sharpe, on Saturday. The
Constitutionalist says :
Sharpe was brandishing a pistol about,
threatening to shoot somebody, when
a boy, Jehu Cascn by name, who was
standing near, remarked, “don’t shoot
me!" at the same time starting to run.
Sharpe fired, and three buck shot were
lodged in the boy’s body ; two of them
have been extracted, but a third, it is
thought, remains in one of his lungs.
Cason was hut twelve years of age. He
is not expected to survive. Sharpe has
not been arrested.
Burglary.
The rooms of Dr. Wm. K. Kitchen and
Mr. Ripley, of New York, were entered
last night, at one of our hotels and
a watch and about SIOO in money taken
from each
Several rooms were entered, and
robbed of smaller amounts.
It is believed that a number of profes
sional thieves and pickpockets are still
in the city, and our citizens should he
on their guard.

Caution to Travelers—Beware of the
Money Changers.
IVe are credibly informed that some
person or persons are in the habit of im
posing upon unsuspecting travelers, by
posting themselves in the Georgia de
pot, in this city, and inducing them to
submit to extortionate discount upon
hills of hanks whose circulation bears
only a slight discount. The ticket
agents are the only safe persons to he
trusted by travelers in money matters.
.Strangers are almost certain to be swin
dled by dealing with those who occupy
no official position on the road.

Twiggs’ Academy.
Mb. Editob The exercises of this
Academy, on Thursday night last,
were highly interesting. A large num
ber of visitors of both sexes were pres
ent. In declamation, the scholars gave
evidence of strong natural powers, and
of the skill and ability of Mr. W. J.
Burnside, their teacher, in bringing
those powers into action. Several little
dialogues were recited with great spirit.
A scene from “The Loan of a Lover,”
and one from “Bamboozle,” was per
formed, eliciting rounds of applause
from the audience. One or two young
gentlemen enlivened thoscene with the
witching strains of music. John L.
Harris, Esq , of Glynn county, was in
troduced, and enchained the audience
for a few moments with one of those
thunderbursts of eloquence, so peculiar
to himself. His theme was Education,
and his soul seemed centered in the sub
ject. Long will this speech he remem
bered by those who heard it. Every
one went away pleased and delighted
with the exercises of the evening.

Exposube of Spirtualism —Dr. Hatch,
the spiritualist and husband of Mrs.
CoraV. Hatch, the medium, is out in a
letter declaring spiritualism, in its mo
ral, social and religious hearings, to he
demoralising. He promises to “expose
the damning practices of its believers,
its delusive theories and its prostitution
and libertinism.” A few days ago,
George P. Pane, known as a “physical
medium,” gave an exhibition of “table
moving” in New York, during which
one of his audience discovered that a
small wire running through the floor
was in contact with the leg of the table.
On this discovery Pane acknowledged
that the whole thing was a fraud but
by means of it he had converted hun
dreds to spiritualism.
Manufactures in New England.—
Business appears to have attained a de
greeof activity in this city full of pro
mise to traders. The improvement in
manufacturing operations has produced
a change in the department depending
upon the condition of trade in the inte
rior towns of New England. There is
no great and feverish demand for goods,
hnt the call is constant, the customers
are disposed to paycash if possible, and
the safety of the transactions compen
sates for the diminution in amount
from times of excitement and over ac
tivity.—Boston Transcript.
The African Boy.
► | here arc one or two facts connected
with the abduction of this individual
that should bo known to the public
He was taken by the U. S. Marshal Sat
3 in-day morning, from the Barracks to
the sale rooms of Mr. Geo. W. Wylly,
where there wero no means for securing
11 m ease an Attempt at rescue, his only
guard at night being a negro man on
the premises. Saturday afternoon Mr.
\Yylly informed the Deputy Marshal
that he had reason to believe that an at
tempt. would be made to abduct the boy
e that the place offered no security, and
t that be (\Y.) would be responsible for
, him no longer. In the face of this
* earning, the boy was allowed to re
main on the premises, no effort was
s made to render him secure, and the
, nex * rooming he was “found missing.” -
f We make this statement by authority.
It this be a specimen of Federal effi
ciency, we would advise the Govern
-1 ment to ml pros all proceedings in the
. case at once, and save itself a fruitless
’ expense— Sav. Republican.
u Mr. David T. Ash, manager of the!
e Washington St. Theatre, Memphis, and
. an old citizen of that place, was killed |
B last week by the accidental discharge of;
a pistol.
1 Two cannons are in course of trial at

Prolific Cotton Seed
PLANTERS are informed that I Slave
succeeded iu producing a Prolific Cotton:
that yields more to the stalk than any I have
ever seen. Being fond oi experim nt, I have
. tried, for the last twenty-five years, every va
riety of Cotton that promised a large yield,
and have found nothing that equals my present
g stock of Seed. It is aH\ brid of the Boyd’s and I
other Prolifics with the Petit Gulf. I have stalks!
1 now in my office,
. Four feet high, with 155 bolls ou it.
r Three feet high, with.... 125 “ “
5 Two feet high, with... .75 “ “
J As many as two hundred and fifty bolls and
forms have been counted on a few large stalks.
| ’very person who has seen my crop pronounce
it the heaviest boiled cotton they ever saw. One
planter pulled off a limb, twelve inches loDg,
having nine bolls on it As this Cotton does not
B limb as long as Petit Gulf, it can be planted
_ closer in the row aud drill, thus securing a
3 greater number of stalks to the acre,
e I will fill orders for Seed at One Dollar and
Twenty-five Cents per bushel, sacked in new

Sarsaparilla Compound.
THIS preparation lias been found a!
valuable article to be used with or pre
scribed with other medicines. lodide of Potas
sium will have much better effect upon thesys- i
tom. when combined or prescribed with this
COMPOUND SARSAPARILLA, than when ad
ministered in any other way.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
In Leucorrhea or Whites, It has been tried
and found a useful remedy. In many cases in
jections should be made use of to contract,
strengthen, or render more firm the crimal tis
. sues or the source of the debilitating discharge.
With expectorants, much less medicine will
be necessary than is generally taken in diseases
of the nings. for, by purifying the blood and
; restoring the liver to a healthy condition, rem
edies for the Cough vs ill have better effect.
In .Sores, Scrofulous or Venereal Ulcers, with
1 proper external attention, its continued use
either with or without lodide of Potassium, pro
duces good effects.
