charges Mr. Augnste Lesseps, Louisiana planter +
with unsawfuy using and damagifsg him in the sum
of 5000. He further claims for the use Of his pro-

several others, and is one Of interest,
sEREsApE--Last night, after the close Of the
Varieties Theater, the orchestra under the able
leadership Of Carlo Patti proceeded to the st.
Charles Hotel, and serenaded Mr.. JOHN Owens
The music was credtabe to the performers.
BRUTAL MURpER.-Towards the hour of s o'clock
last evening as the policeman of the beat came
near the Of Julia and Fulton streets, he
attracted by the PROSTATE body of man who was
fast expiring in the last agonies of DEATH. Obtain
ing the necessary aid and vehicle for the convey
ance of the wounded man to the hospital, the
police officers haa not proceeded on their way far
ere their burden ceased to live. They then brought
the body to the First District lookup, where it
now remains sfockingly mutiated corspe. On
investigation it appears that the murdered mans
name is Edward Collins, aged about 80 years,
native of Ireland, and steamboat deck-hand by
calling. Sergeant Reed, taking the matter under
his supervision, was not long in discovering that
the deceased had been in company with one vii
liam Murphy, Thomas Murphy and John Bracken,
and that quarrel had led to the brutal result.
Pushing the matter, and investigating eircum-
stances in a judicious manner, Sergeant Reed sue
ceeded in arrestng the first party named-William
Murphy-who stated that he saw the stabbing of
Collins, the deceased, by the second party named
Thomas Murphy-and that John Bracker the third
party, was an accessory to the deed. This caused
q speedy search after John Bracker who was ar
rested in an intoxicated condition and locked up in
the First District Wateh-house, while Thomas Muir
ply, the principal in the affray, up to late hour
last night, had evaded the vigilance of the police.
The wounds the deceased, in the abdominal
region, must have been inflicted with large knife,
the ntestines are protruding. The Coroner's
inquest to-day will throw light this fearful
result of an affray.
HEAR JOSEPH THE DukE-Yesterday Joseph
Herzog (Anglice, Duke,) brought charge of
breach of trust against Anna Green, verdant
named and natured speciment of the weaker sex,
residing at l3s Dauphn street, charging her before
Recorder BENT with holding contrary to law,
electra, four dollars worth of trumpery in the
shape of breast-pin and pair of earrings.
Some further investigation being required, Joseph
did not get satisfaction, nor did Anna get law.
sCrT AND CONE AGA1N''-He deals in fruit,
does Antonio Sagodichi, and the man who stabbed
him sixteen times in that lonely place away over
in Agers also deals in fruit, but that mans
nature is unknown, and he may go his way
without eating the fruit of his doings,'' while
poor Tony is almost patchwork of non-fatal
wounds and plaster in the Charity Hospital. Why
Tony was stabbed is more than Tony or any one
| jo1c
is, that he is stabbed sixteen times.
| DIED OF HIS WouNDs.-Yesterday Carol Lud
wig, whose wounded condition, growing out Of ar
attack upon him by policeman named John Brent
some six days ago, and already noticed by us, det
of his wounds Brent is in custody.
A GEM-John Diamond-who had vague notion
regarding the fact that time tries the characters
men, as the furnace assays the quality of metals
by disengagng the impurities, dissipating the su
perficia glitter, and leaving the sterling gold brigh
! and pure-took to wasting his opportunities and
wardrobe, and became suspicious and dangerous
to that external degree that he sent yesterday
to the Work-House for ninety days by Assistant
Recorder Monroe. John, thou art gem, but
very dull and cheap one.
| THAT JEHU.-Tennyson says something abou,
bonds but we do not think they the same as the
$500 Martin Kellan gave yesterday at Recorder
Summers Court to appear on the 26th and answer
the charge of insulting and abusing officer Pennel
"BRDs OF A FEATHER.-James Long charged his
rib Sarah with being an habitual drunkard, and the
Court charged James with ditto, and as neither
James Or Sarah could pay the fees, they were
both locked up for five days in the Parish Prison.
Pretty duI!
OUT LARKING AND F1sHING.-PatL Larkin and Mike
Roach, one skyehigh fellow and the other droll
fish, broke the peace of this city on Sunday, al
least portion of it, and in consequence they now
flourish in the Parish Prison, and will continue to
do so for 80 days, unless they pay $40 each.
"HE WHO STEALS vor ISN'T HIssES," ETc.-Yes
John McCabe-ominous name-you must know
that " he who steals vot isn't hissen, when hei
cotched he's sent to prisen,'' and though this may
not be very elegant potry," John, it is very fine
| philosophy. So do not steal another horse from
Cypress street or elsewhere, or from Mr.. Hpper
or any one else, or you certainly will go to prison
as you will now when the Jefferson parish author
tiles come for you.
| "OpEN AND SHUT GAME."-Susanna Eller, living
| OH the corner of Bienville street and New Leyee,
makes charge before Recorder Monroe against
Mr.. Francis Rickets, superintendent of the Sailors
Home, wherein she alleges that he made an assault
and battery on her with an open and shut door.
| This will be tested on the 2Gth.
| Nor IN THE LEAST STRANGE.-An officer finds q
man on Sunday night, who, to all and every ap-
| pearance is dead drunk, lying insensible on the
street, on Carondeet Walk, in the Second District
and the officer obtains evidence Of this man
being sober, though every effort is made in thai
directions therefore the officer locks him up in the
watch-house. By and. by said man RECEIVERS his
nsensibity, and it is discovered he was not drunk
but waylaid and robbed by some parties unknown
and left in this strongly circumsanal state of in
| toXication. And the officer does as above stated
Now is this strange? No sir.
"TIME TOOK HIM, THOUGH LArE."-So said
Bowles, in his sermon the Oldest inhabitant OF
Scupperduck. So we may say of old Time and old
| Death, regarding the demise of old Manette "a i.
W. c.,) whose light went out last week, after a
| continuous shining for hundred and twenty
| years. She was native of Louisiana, and remem-
bered occurrences of date long before the birth
of the Oldest living inhabtant in the United States.
ROLLING SroNE.-Henry Bates, working on
board ship lying at the foot of Race street, had
his foot badly hurt by rolling stone, portion of
the cargo which was being moved in the lower
hold. He is in the Charity Hospital, and doing
