RARE SPoRT.-Mr. Joseph Cole started out
Wednesday night with determined purpose to
create some sport. Having looked into several
bar-rooms and having. possibly, taken "nipper"
or two, he ''fet Just right As no better
amusement suggested itself to his mind, he
determined to set Main street to rights by re-
moving all the empty boxes and barrels placed in
store doors. &c. into the street. He accordingly
commenced operations the southern side of
of Main, between 18th and 18th streets, but had
only sent some half dozen barrels aud boxes
''curling" down the street, when his operations
attracted the notice of couple of Watchmen.
They quietly walked over, took Mr.. Cole into
custody, and locked him up in the cage, where
he spent the remainder ofthe night. Yesterday
he paid his respects TO Alderman Evans. AS it
turned out to he his first public feat. and as he
appeared to be heartily ashamed of his conduct,
the Alderman told Mr.. Cole he would overlook
the matter this time, but admonished him of the
necessity ofavoiding for the future strong temp,
tations of bar rooms and beer-shops.
PAUL JULIEN.-This distinguished artistic ar
rived yesterday from Washington, and has taken
lodgings at the American Hotel. Bye the bye,
how does it happen that friend Smith is patron-.
lied by all the celebrities His concert will
certainly come off this evening in the African
Church. The demand for seats and tickets is
already animated; SO animated, indeed, as to rem
der it highly probable that the Church will be
found inadequate to accommodate the demands of
the public. As he gives only entertainment
III the city, and his troupe is composed ofartstes
who have all attained celebrity in the musical
world, every lover of music in this city will de-
sire to be present. How necessary, then, it be-
comes, to secure seats ut once.
rV~We denied the pleasure of being
present at Mr.. c. A. McEvoy's closing Exhibi-
tion Soiree, at Lafayette Hall, Wednesday
evening, but learn from several who were more
fortunate. that it was, taken altogether, one of
the handsonlest affairs of the kind gotten up
in this city His pupils turned out in large num-
bers. and acquitted themselves in fine style. The
grand Flower Dance. executed by thirty Misses,
was beautiful spectacle forcibIy reminding the
behoder of the graceful movements of those
Viennoise ny1nphs, so admirably trained by
Madame Weiss. Mr. McEvoy has given much
satisfaction professor of the art of dancing,
and We trust he may long continue to impart
grace to the carrige and poetry to the motion of
the rising generation hereabous. We return
thanks for his kind invitation to be present a. the
closing soiree, and promise to attend the next,
provided it be not given on the evening of the
day appointed for municipal election
DIsGUsrING SIGHr.-W ednesday afternoon,
a mddle-aged white woman, genteely attired
anc OF respectable appearance, was seen by hun
dreds of citizens on Broad street, foolishy ntox-
Gated. In her right hand she carried land
somely bound copy of book, which closely re-
sembled the Holy Bible; from this she would
occasionally draw slip of white paper, and
turn upon the crowd of urchins who followed in
her train, and mutter some unintelligible nom
sense. She entered several stores, followed by
crowds ofboys and gesticuated in the most earns
est manner to the shop keepers. Finally, how
ever. Capt. White came along and took her
down TO "condign." Yesterday she appeared
before Alderman Evans, gave her name rs Mary
Purcell, and appeared to be quite well known to
the police, whom she has ere now bothered
with her vagaries. She was committed to Jail in
lefault. of $50 security for good behaviour.
