A Piece of RasCality.

New YORK, September lone of the
most successful efforts at rasca!ity ever
heard of was brought to light yesterday in
this city.
1t Itappears that sharper in Philadelpha
advertises for number Of young ladies to g.
South to fill situations as teachers of music
Fifteen young women were accepted by the
advertiser.
They were to have remunerative employ
ment in the families of wealthy Southern
planters, and in every respect their future
prospects were of the most fattering descrp-
ton.
ltw was simply stipulated by the advertiser
that the ladies should defray in part their
expenses to their respective destination. On
arriving in this city, en- route for the South
the sharper took charge of the baggage OF
the ladies, collected from them about $3.50
for their fare in the steamship, and while
they were waiting patiently at the hotel fol-
him to conduct them on board, he decamped
with his plunder.

The Mechanics Exhibition.

The first night came, and we have again had
another opportunity Of meeting the inven tors,
mechanics and manufacturers of Cincinnati, at
Holiday Fair, surrounded with the harvest
oftheir labor and skill represented before u.s..
In the first place we have some of the most
substantial, good .natured, good-looking men
and women, who are always prompt, practical
and progressive. They were on hand as they
ought to have bcen, with the space they had
engaged, fully upied-everything in its
place, and every article got up in tip-top
style. But there are several laggards-latter-
day saiuts-who bring their articles always
the day after the fair is open. We want them
all to hurry up, and get everything in just the
place they should be, and then we will 90
round and inspect aud describe. We love,
honor and cherish the producer and the educer.
The halls are full of the evidences Of their skill,
and We will give merit fitting reward-a good
mention. Swarm in, people, and make your
eyes glad. You must be the patrons.

The Opera and its Patrons.

1t may be on account of the absenteeism
from the city of numerous patrons of the
opera that SO splendid an opportunity of en-
joying a musical treat as afforded last night
in "Poliuto," at Pixies Opera.hous was
omitted by so many.
We assure the people of taste and culture
that the splendid temple of music, erected by
tie munifcense of one public.spirited man,
may still be found accessible on Fourth-street.
There, nightly, the noblestthemes, illuminated
by the adjuncts of artistic dress, voices and
action Of the best trained singers, With or
chestra and chorus Of great excellence, are pre-
seuted to please and improve the atten ndants.
To those able to avail themselves of its ad-
vantage, it is one of the choicest resorts in our
city. Tonight the American prima donna,
tho Cincinnati favorite, is to appear under cir
cumstances which should fiji the house. There
will be but one more opportunity to attend
the opera for some time. Let Mrs. James re-
eeive most cordial greeting.
