CAufroS.-Ths arrest of the negro boy who
had been entrusted to call for the letters for
, Browns Hotel, under proof positive that he
was In the habitof robbing them, (the lsttsrs)
should be warning to all in business to be
csreful on whom they entrust the duty Of re-
ceiving their mails from the post Office Some
years since, the mails of the Union office were
robbed after the same fashion, and the kind
ness of heart of the late Thomas Ritchie alone
saved the culprit, a small negro boy, from
long service in the penitentiary, the money
and the opened letters being found on him.
We also remember white boy in the en-
ployment of Blair d Rives. when they pub
lished the Daily Globe, after stealing consid-
erable sums of money, was caught robbing
letters carried by him from the post Office.
All missing money letters are laid at the
door of the post Office, and yet it is probable
that not one such robbery in ton is perpetra
ted by an official.
The remedy for perhaps nine tenths Of such
losses Ia simply to send a responsible and
trustworthy person to tho post Office ALWAYS
for ones mails
A MERIrED REBUKB-AND A Coop Work.
Father Boyle preached in st. Patrick Church
yesterday morning an eloquent and able ser.
. mon against the bad habits of some persons
protesting Identification with the Catholic
Church. In the course Of his sermon, he took
occasion to explain the injurious effects of tip
pling habits upon the poor, describing scenes
which he himself saw on the night before, at
midnight, in and around some low doggeries,
frequented, principally, by the poorest class
OF Irish in Washington lie took the liberty
Ut seems. to 60 in among them, and send them
home-his presence there, at such a time, and
his advice to them to 20 to their families, of
course having the desired effect in shaming the
poor misguided creatures for the time being
In his sermon, yesterday, he held up to the
view of all tho dreadful consequences to socie-
iy-to man temporal and eternal prospects
certain to flow from such habits and associa
tons; and proclaimed his purpose to be, with
Divine aid, to put stop to the habit of some
OF the Irish among US, of s9uandering their
weeks earnings on Saturday night in rum
holes, to the starvation and misery of those do
pendent on them for bread and to their own
destruction. All well-disposed persons will
wish Father Boyle God speed in this true La
Dor Of Love.
THR KUNKELs-T. L. FLoYD's BENEFIT
Tonight, the performances of the Kunkel
troupe, at the National Theatre, will be for
the benefit of 7. L. Floyd, one of the best
counterfeiters Of the Ethiopian female sex
living, and unriyaled personifcator Of female
dances. His assumption, not only of the
dress, but the physical peculiarities of a fe-
male is so complete, so srtistically elaborate,
that We fairly challenge the most acute OBJ
server to detect In his * counterfeit present
ments" the slightest inconsistency. We know
no greater compliment this young gentleman
could receive than was paid him in q scathing
editorial, written by Canadian editor, de-
ploring the Introduction of females in
Ethiopian bands. What the omniscient ma
ture Of an editor failed to detect we may surely
be pardoned for claiming as the perfection of
art. Young Floyd deserves bumper, and We
trust that the patrons Of real talent will aid
in giving benefit that will put money in his
purse. -
ODD FELLOWS HALL TOMORROW EVENING.
Billiards Panorama Of New York City com
mences its exhibitions at the above Hall TO-
morrow evening. From all We can learn of
by our exchanges it will afford rare treat for
our citizens. The Baltimore Sun, in speaking
of it, says: The Panorama of New York
City, painted as it is by self educated Amer
lean Of excellent genius, pertraying the great
city Of the Union with great faithfulness and
beauty, is truly the grand exhibition of the1
day. Notwithstanding the surfeit of amuse.
ments now in our city, it has drawn crowded
houses. The schools the maids the matrons.
the old men and boys, " Everybody and his
wife," are thronging to see it. We earnestly
advise every one TO see this deserving work Of
art. Gotham could not be moro eloouentlv
portrayed. Every one conversant with it re- |
cOgniIes the picture. Every one seeing il il
delighted with it. Every one who has not
viewed it ought to-"
POPULAR SYMPATHY. On THANKSGIVING
night, in the course of their entertainment, at
the National Theater, ono of the performers
OF kunkels capital opera troupe perpetrated
keen joke at the expense of the Allies over
their want of 81 ;cess in the Crimea Its
point was acknowledged by universal shout
from the thousands present, which told of to Q
intensity Of American popular feeling against
our ancient enemy, as now engaged in the
eastern war There could be no mistakiny
this manifestation, inasmuch as subsequently
other witticisms, glorying over their failure to
take Sebastopel, were fred off with like effect
upon the audience.
