The WAY You've PLAC1DE, the actor.
was once applauded in An extraordinary
manner, the following will show. We
would advise our readers not to laugh at
the incident which is thus related:
A lauy, great r--.-:.n nth tho Nan
Orleans public, was performing on the
same evening, it being for her "benefit. {"
At the close of the performance, she was
called out. and bouquets. and other and
more costly tokens Of approval, were lib
orally bestowed upon her. Ner was Mr..
Placide not remembered. He was enthu.
siastically applauded in an afterpiece;
and while he was engaged in his part,
amidst applause, something very bright
came whizzing and flashing upon the
stage, passing only little distance above
his head, and going through o scene in
the rear of the stage, and disappearing
from view.
"Turn him out turn him out ~ said
3 hundred voices at once; and the yocif.
orators looked up to the quarter of the
house whence the missile, or whatever it
was, had proceeded.
But at length all was still, and the
play proceeded to the end without inter
ruption The man who had created the
disturbance was removed, (struggling,
to-be-sure. but simply demonstrating,
without other resistance.)
AS MIR. Placide was in his undressing
room, preparing to leave the theatre, a
man appeared at the stage door, inquiring
for him.
"Show the gentleman up" said Mr..
Placide. And up he came.
"Play -side," said he, almost with tears
in his eyes-for he was in a maudlin
mood-.'Play side, you have always been
a great favor-ite of mine-always. Now
I've been cruelty treated here tonight.
and was determined not to 90 home till
l had seen you, and told you about it
for, Play-side, you have always been a
great favor-ite of mine"
"But. my friend, what is your cause
Of complaint ? Who has irsulted you 2"
"Well, you see, when l see 'em throw
ing flowers, and diamond-pins, and little
pocket-books down to that pretty Mrs.
H thinks |, I'll throw something to
Play-side, for he's my favorite; and 1 did
throw it J"
"What was it 2" said Piacide, having
an inkling of a curious explanation.
"Why, it was my best chisel. am a
cabinet-maker, and | d had it put in first
rate order, and twas handy in my pock-
ct: and l sent it, cause you was always
a fayor-ite of mine, Play-side. Ifit had
been three times as good one you
should ha' had it, cause you was always
o favor-ite Of mine"
Placide says he likes cordial applause,
but he doesn't want it to come .'full

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

MIR. CumminS has furnished the Boston
Post with the following copy of q letter
from his friend Blighted, who has been
at Washington as a petitioner, and re-
turns unsuccessful.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. 1855.
DEAR CUMMINS:-I am getting tired Of
this business. l came here with fat
wallet, and it is now getting as thin as
the frame of Calvin Edison. They drink
like fish here; every introduction costs
me silver top. can't even turn round
without forking over quarter. Have to
pay exits eye" for being shown the
direction of street. Am frequently in
vited to change breath with members of
Congress, but they invariably leave me
to settle. Whnp | send my clothes to
the washerwoman, my roommate sends
his at the same time, and leaves me to
pony over for both when they come back
Am asked to change ten dollar bill by
one, and to loan five to another; the first
turns out to be worth but fifty cents on
the dollar, and the last never hear of
again.
Cummins! it's all "goins." Oh,
heavens. I. the last Is the WORST OF all.
have just rung for my bill, and find upon
it eleven bottles Of wine and eighty-onc
whiskey punches which never called for.
Am no gentleman if l dispute the bill
it takes my last dollar-my affairs are in
q state of uncertainty, and I return home
a dead head. G'od bye, Cummins,-you
have always been pretty good to me, .
good fellOw,-noble soul-boo-hoo-
boo-hoc-grave stones; shall call and
make my selection when I return. A
plain inscription would be preferred. As
for the device, say, the American eagle
holking in his claws my memorial a
pair of scales representing interest weigh
ing down principal, and material aid I"
in the back ground. In order to avoid a
public reception, l shall return at mid.
night. 1t is my present intention to an.
nounce myself candidate for the poor
house. The train has just left with me
in it. 1 60 in the emigrant car.
Yours truly, B. BLIGHrED

thus far escaped the vigilance of the off.
GERS, although the most strenuous efforts
have been put forth to bring him to JUS
tice. An inquest was held over the BODY
of the deceased, and a. verdict rendered
in accordance with the facts. Fillinger
Is represented to be dangerous charac.

ficted severe wound on another party.
1t Is to be hoped that he will be over
taken by the law, and receive that re.

LAST Hours OF A LRarsLAruRK.-The
New Orleans Commercial Bulletin speaks
IN the following terms Of the closing
scene of the Louisiana Legislature:
awe learn that the saturnalia which
usually accompanies the adjournment of
the Legislature far exceeded in wild ex.
cesses any that ever before were wit
messed. The Legislative Hall was like
drinking saloon, the scene of drunken
orgies which would have assonished even
the habitues Of those disorderly houses.
The master Of misrule was let loose, and
allowed to run riot. Officers, members.
pages, servants and outsiders were on an
equal footing, and the scene would have
symbolized the grand feature of pure de.
mocracy-perfect equality-had there
not been q master spirit among them, ru.
ling them with despotic and arbitrary
sway: King Alcohol was supreme ik
pie. '"H NM

" A case Of most unprovoksd mur-
der occurred on the Philadelphia road, a
few days ago. A number of Germans
who were engaged in cutting wood. had
concluded their labors for the day, and,
while passing peaceably along towards
their homes, one Of the party named VAL
entine Fillinger, remarked that he would
like to kill some one, and taking o knife
from his pocket, he stabbed man by the
name of Fox in the arm. Fox started to
run, and Killinger coming up with him,
dealt another blow, which inflicted
dangerous wound in the back of the neck.
Fox then fell to the ground, and Fillinger
deliberately cut his throst from ear to
ear, causing immediate death. Film
ger then tsrned to the rest of his COM
panions, and defed them to approach
him, threatening any of them with death
if they should attempt to arrest him.

SANDMAN EMGRANTs.-The Com.
missioners of Emigration have received
proposition from the Venezuelan Consul,
the intention of which is to relieve the
City from the burden of supporting
the Sardinians who recently arrived at
this port. The Consul, aware that able
bodied men are in demand in the region
which he represents, proposes to ship the
exiles to Venezuela, and so to remove
them from all charges upon our treasu-
ry, provided that the Commissioners will
pay SIS per head, as the price of their
passage. 1t is estimated, however, that
all the lame, halt, blind, and improper,
are TO be excluded from these offers. The
Commissioners show a desire to be nd Of
these people, but will not dispose of .
part. The Consul has yet to answer the
counter proposal.-N Y. Times.

SLANDEEER.-A person of whom the
Greeks showed deep appreciation, when
they made the word synonymous with
evil. Slanderers are at all events econon-
ical, for they make a little scandal go a
great way, and rarely open their mouths
except at the expense of other people.
We must allow that they have good e1.
cuse for being defamatory, if it be their
object to bring down others to their own
level.

"On our casting anchor in Hobson's

and furnished US with copies of that

which caught my eye was a report of
meeting of the unemployed" which
had been held the previous day on Flag
