cone Fool Makes ManY.v

This sentiment flashed through our mind yes
terday afternoon as we saw many men, women
and children hOcking to Pixies Opera Hall, for
what ?-read on. This hall has been since
the opening day-and is no,o-a very popular
place; therefore every body goes there to see
and be seen, whether the charge be SIS or 0.
WHY'S this? Because SO many dollars and
cents have been expended to make it SO.
Pixies Opera building cost a great deal of
money, say lin approximation FIVE hundred
thousand dollars. Its style of architecture is
of high order-in general terms the whole is
creditable to the visual man. We look upon
it, however, as a monument--o fit monument Of
the dead!
1t is generally known, at least in Cincinnati
that S. N. Pike is a citizen-is man of great
wealth, acquired in the earnest prosecution Of
a business both popular and lucrative-a bust
ness that fills the ,Ohole earth ,oih sorro,o ana
crime-cduses more murdered men, murdered ,co-
men, and murdered children, than cruel WAR
itself WE MEAN THE LIQUOR BUsI-
NESS.
Gone fool makes many" Yes, the whole oi
Cincinnati is now fast turning fool--running
mad about "Pike's Opera Hail." First, the
press; second, the lovers of Opera; third, our
Public Schools, parents and children; fourth

EASTER SUNDAY.-Yce'orday was Easter
Sunday, ,and while the boli- ang out from every
part Of the city JuJilate Dec, the sunbeams
wandered from a sky, which looked lovely, to
the Eartb, which seemed in love with it, and
kissed the little Spring flowers, till, in their joy,
they bIushing raised their heads and gave as
return their fragrance TO the air. Above,
around, beneath, every thing seemed happy
but man; and although he could remember it
was the anniversary of the supposed resurrec-
tion of one unto whose character the world
bows down in reverence, and whose goodness for
nineteen centuries has been, and for all time
will be-, example to every nation on this crazy
old pla net, still there was in him no response
that was audible throughout the entire day,
which would indicate that gladness in the
miorocosln which ho could look out upon the
macrocosm and detect. Thus Nature, ever
malignant, would seem to smile from days,
and skies, and fields Of flowers without, upon
the somber night and sable armament, and
boundless Sahara within, and with a kind Of
demoniac Joy sing laughing songs and clap her
hands because the contrast was so great. We
were sadder than before amid the beauty o.
the day, and rejoioed when quiet Night amid
the flowing folds of her dark robe, hid from
our sight her noisy sisters face.

POLICE Court. Judge Lowe disposed of
about dozen uninteresting cases at the Police
Court on Saturday morning.

aware, was arrested for attempting to pass two
one-dollar counterfeit bills, upon Fifth street
dry-goods dealer, was held in 5000 for her
appearance at the next term of the Court of
Common Pleas.
A woman, named Elizabeth Smith, who is
more like an Amazon than a nymph, and yet
is both, was fined S. and costs, and sent to the
City Prison for three days, for breaking tho
windows of drinking-house on Western row,
near Liberty street.
The young man, James Howard, who picked
the pocket of man at the fire on Main street,
day or two ago, plead guilty, and was
sentenced to restore double the amount of the
stolen money-eighteen dollars-and to pay a
| fine of ten dollars and costs.
August Garbeyer, who was charged with
malicously stabbing Charles Fair, in the

Of this county remain unsettled with the Audit r,

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The pressure for
admittance into the Courtroom is by no means
so great as on previous days. The general
impression yesterday seemed to be that the
trial would be concluded to-day, but it is now
evident that the argument on instructions will
be so spun out as to prevent that before Mon
day.

Guthrie Grays have been to Middletown, o.,
to make selection of a suitable spot upon which
to "pitch their tents" for encampment some
time in the month Of July. The period of

PUGrLIsTIc.-The city, yesterday, seemed
drunk and quarrelsome. A couple of fellows
raised row in bagnio, on the corner of Fifth
and Western row, and, the police becoming
aware of the fact, arrested them, together with
all the inmates Of the establishment, and
lodged them in the Ninth street Station-house
At the Ninth Ward Coffee house a fight
occurred, and several heads this morning are,
no doubt, considerably swelled from the double
cause of too much whisky and too much
fight.
On Walnut street there was another affair of
the same nature, though less serious in its con-
sequences, which left dark spots on the faces,
blood shot eyes and battered profles enough
to make the day remembered by the partici-
pants for year.
On the wharf, couple of Irishmen, whose
accent was broad as their brogans, by some
means got into the condition of o certain
Southern indignation meeting, and went a
each other with shillalies in a style which
would have astonished all the visitors who eve
attended Donny brook Fair, and succeeded il
quieting their pugilistic proclivities only by
sundry knocks, which not even a Celtic pat
could long Withstand. AS a payment for thei
fun; they slept during the night in the Ham
mond-street Station-house.
In that delectable locality known as Buck
town, last night, couple of Ethiopia's dark
est sons, whose evil genius is jealousy, and VIII
are both enamored of the same sable chnrmeI
quarreled, and one of them named Watkins
received stab in the thigh, and another i
the back, from pocket-knife in the hands c
his adversary. Tho wounds, however, are nc
serious, and will no doubt heal over in a fe
days. No arrests in the case we're made.
