DJOne evening last week, Roberts, the trage-
dian, was playing Richard III in a theatre at Mil
waukee, In the midst of one of his most violent
and killing passages, a young man walked
down the aisle, seated himself near the orchestra
and drawing a newspaper from his pocket, coolly
commenced reading il. Mr.. Roberts regarded
this imperturbable indifference to his histrionic
abilities an insult. He stood IL for awhile, but
at last his wrath eliminated, and with a bound
he cleared the fOotights, seized the young man by
the collar and in a rude manner hustled him out
Of the house This done, he returned to the stage,
and after apologizing to the audience, resumed his

The GRAND JURY AND THE Princess DISASTER
The Grand Jury of the Eastern District of I.ouisi
ana, after careful and extended examination into
the circumstances attending the explosion of tho
steamer Princess on the Mississippi river have ar
rived at the conclusion that no ground exists for
the prosecution Of any person connected with the
boat, with probability Of conviction under the
law governing the Case-the second engineer and
his assistant then having charge of the mac hnery
having themselves fallen victims to tho explos oil, ,
and no living witness being found who could be
supposed to be cognizant Of any of the imme
ly attendant circumstances. All opinions. so far
as ascertaned, agree In ascribing the occurrence
TO deficiency Of water as the boilers were of un-
usual and had been tested by hydrostatic
pressure, up to 17U pounds to the square inch As
stunning this to be the case, the deceased engineer
was the more Immediately responsible individual
but the jury, from the evidence before them. feel
bound 10 express their deliberate conviction that
much blame rests elsewhere, and that the watch
ful vigilance and habitual caution that should
govern the conduct Of persons charged to SO great
an extent with the safekeepng of life and proper
ty. was not always observed. s-...
The jury think that the chief engineer deserves
censure because he was not more careful himself
and more strict with his subordinates They fur
ther say that the observance Of the letter of
the law, to the neglect of its spirit, cannot be
deemed sufficient in those on whom so heavy re-
rests the officers Of passenger stean-
ers The fact that the captain has engaged the
services OF first engineer of acknowledged COM
W CndI8e OF the machinery OF his
boat, does not exempt him from the obligation to
know. from persondt observation, that the engi-
neer does his duty faithfully. Nor, when the
chief engineer has employed capable assistants Is
he exempt from censure, IL he relaxes his own
vigilance or throws too much responsibility on his
subordinates. He should not be satisfied with the
knowledge that this that precaution is taken
but he is bound to use every expedient that science
or experience may suggest, to insure the safety Of
those whose confidence may place their lives in his
keeping-he assumes moral responsibility, higher
and more sacred than can be reached by the laws OF
the States
To the absence of correct appreciation of these
responsible they attributed the calamity that
hrs shocked the community mere than any pre-
viOus one of similar character for, if there was
| any vessel on which the thousands who La
ly travelled on her considered themselves safe. II
trdS the - 'PrtHceSS." too fatal sense of security
| on the part Of her officers has probably led TO
| calamity that has hurried scores into eternity
| thrown the pail of mourning over multitude OF
human hearts, deprived the community Of valua
bic citizens destroyed large amount of property
| and shaken public confidence.

SPECIALIZING IN PoIAIoEs-Last fall large
quantities of potatoes were shipped from Cincin-

however, were sadly mistaken, as many of them

from the Cincinnati Price Current:
last Saturday the steamers Landis aud Baird
