| MS "ile Inc 1actS OF the case as ieSdly
brought ont in the trial. so clearly convict him
Of the deed that intcrposition on the part of
the President, so far, cannot be reasonably
expected. Messrs. Thompson and CARING
ton, his counsel. have presented the wishes Of
several citizens for communication Of sentence,
abandoning the appeal for Punishment as out
of the question, and have made the unfortu-
nate man acquainted with the facts The U.
S. Marshal, J. D. Hoover, Esq, is preparing
for the execution, and will perform his duty
painful "a it is, with frmness and humanity.
Taking all the infor nation we have on the
subject to guide our decision, it is certain that
we are to have an execution in Washington
Friday, Sept. ID of Daniel T. Woodward.
The Drama at Ccrmsi's few nights
past, a talented corps of dramatists have been
performing at Carusi's saloon, exciting the
criticisms of the wiseacres who are never
pleased with anything but their own smart
nesses; but at the same time this unprctending
company give much delight with their enter
| tainments to the just and generous" These
carpers go to see the performances with the idea
of a Booth Forrest Mrs. Duff, q Mrs. Now
att, or some such parsonage in the histrionic
line in their minds, and not finding all the
talent they unreasonably expect, launch irto
disgusting hypercriticisms. We despse such
things, and can truly say to the public, that
in the performance at Carusi's quite an inter-
esting entertainment is furnished nightly to
those who can appreciate rising merit. This
evening the touching drama of Theresa" a
popular song by Mrs. Carpenter, and the
! laughable farce of the Rough Diamond"
constitute the attraction.
Looking at the Women.-It is hard thing
for modest lady to walk the streets for the
impudent gazing of some men, old as well as
young, and the former, we think predominate
They sit at our hotel-doors stroll through the
various public grounds, walk the streets, look
in the windows of private and public build
ings, their seeming occupation all the time
being to stare pretty women out of counte-
| nance, or to show off their own Adonis-like
persons to supposed A9miration by the oppo-
site sex. They are much mistaken in their
suppositions that any pretty, plain, neat, or
beautiful woman-any respectable, virtuous
lady, old or young: have any other regard for
such tri1es when noticed at all, than a feel
ing of pity for the deluded bipeds. On the
other hand. there are few lady-looking per-
Sons who like these exhibitions, or fatter
themselves by the observations of idle men.
! Of such it may he said:
! When the Young women look at the men,
What can We do but look back again.
| orr Mnsic Storcs.-The enterprise of the
music stores Of Washington deserves notice
! from US, and encouragement from the public.
There is not piece gotten up anywhere, but
they 1t once endeavor to supply the musical
public with it, and lin many instances have
, rare productions on their counters almost SIM
ultaneously with distant publishers. Their
own publications are brought out in fine style
We refer to our advertising columns for the
particulars of these musical marts, and their
enterprising manner of doing business.
en- 4 CO., of the Union line of omnibuscs,
have rendered the Young Catholics Friend
Society the amount received by them from
persons conveyed by their omnibuses from
the steamboat on the late excursion. The
amount contributed is fifteen dollars, a small
amount, but the act speaks millions for the
good hearts of the donors
Concert ar Alexandria for the Benefit OF
tire Sufferers Mr. a Howard, formerly Mas
ter Howard, has arrived in this city, and has
proceeded to Alexandria to give q concert this
evening in aid of the New Orleans sufferers
This is most creditable OF his part, setting
aside. az he does, his own interest, by giving
the first proceeds of his profession to a de-
servedly charitable purpose. Our Alexandria
readers will bear in mind this praiseworthy
offer of Mr.. Howard and attend his Interesting
concert.
Roignsd.-Mr W. NJ. Ellis, who for many
years has been superintendent of the machine
ry and has had charge Of the rolling mill and
other important departments of the Washing
ton Navy Yard, resigned his position yester-
day, we learn. BY the resignation of Mr. FL
lis the Government loses the services of one
of the best practical mechanics in its employ.
Mr.. L. has consented to remain at his post
until another can be obtained to attend to the
duties.
Trip North-The members of the Northern
Liberties Fire Company, are endeavoring to
make suitable arrangements for trip North
this season, and we have no doubt they will
succeed and carry with them q large number
of our young men. There is much to be seen
