ABSENCE OF MIND.-An exceedingly well
dressed female entered certain storo :,

RowDYIsM.-We believe there are no two

month IN the world where there is less of
rowdyism manifest ted than there is here. IL
is very rare thing for murder or fatal
difficulty to occur in our midst. Gases of
nightly carousing and thereby disturbing
the peace of the cities are unusual occurren-
ces. Indeed, we question whether the dai.
ly records of any Mayors Court in existence
Will present as fair an appearance as those
of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Indeed, most
OF the time the proceedings are significantly
summed. up thus :-"Csty qutet-no arrests"
Now all this teaches very pleasant and
wholesome lesson;lit it this, that where there
is SO little rowdyism, there must be of neces.
sity more of good, honest, mercantile men.
Let tn ese of our country friends who have
wholesale purchases to make, bear this in
mind.
PERSONAL. Among the arrivals at the
Ocean House, Portsmouth, yesterday, we
noticed the Hon. R. j. Manning, the esteem
ed Ex-Governor of South Carolina. He
left for his sunny home in the gal liant Pal
metto State this morning. His family &C.
companied him. The gentleman looked as
well as ever and bids fair to be many
more years of service to his native State and
country.

The SEABoARD TOWING AND TRANspoRrA-
TIoN CoMPANY.-There was an effort to have
a meeting of the Stockholders of the Sea-
board Towing and transportation Company
at the rooms of the Merchants and Mechan.
les Exchange yesterday morning; but owing
to the fact, that it was not generally known,
there was very slim attendance. The
meeting adjourned without transacting any
kind of business, until this afternoon at four
o'clock, when it is expected that there will
be full representation of all the interests
of the company.
We confidently expect to see this company,
after this meeting, exhibit more signs of vi
tally than ever before; and have no doubt
but will be so managed as to put new life
and vigor into what we consider, one of the
most important schemes of Norfolk. There
seems to be determination among some to
put the matter through in ship shape style,
and if the proper effort is made, no doubt
but it will succeed.
This company is calculated to be of i'm.
mense benefit to this city, if once started
upon the proper footing, and in thus bene.
fitting the community it cannot help proving,
both directly and indirectly, a source of
benefit to the Stockholders. We have heard
it limited that there were mistakes made in
the selection of boats, and otherwise; but
this must be expected. No new concern can
start "all fair and right" at first; there must
be experiments, and the experiments Of this
concern have been just sufficient to guide
them in their future operation.
With the present amount of experience
and determination now evinced, we conf
IDENTIFY expect to see this one of the 'succes
se'' of Norfolk.

The MILITARY SPIR1T.-The recent dia-
bolical attempt to incite the slaves in the
vicinity of Harper's Ferry to insurrec ton
seems to have aroused the latent militia
ry spirit which has heretofore apparently
slumbered in the breasts of the sons of Vir-
ginla. Everywhere we hear of military COM
panies being organized to defend the honor
and dignity of the old Comm on wealth and
her time honored institutions, should another
lawless and Iespicable band invade her ter
rltcry. The spirit has apparently been
aroused in our sister city. Some time since
Portsmouth held the palm for the military
enthusiasm of her citizens, but it had SEEM
lngly degenerated and become extinct; but
this recent abolition manifestation has aeain
aroused them and we see a renewed detar-
mlnaaon to again raise the renowned 3rd
Regiment to her former glory and numeri-
cal strength. One of the extinct military
organizations has become again almost re-
yivlhed, and we trust the result will be seen
in the increased ranks of all the companies
composing the Regiment. A company of
Zouaves, which shall embody in their disci-
pine and drill, all that makes that corps 50
etfectual to the French army, is talked of in
imitation Of the people of Richmond. and
we hope the movement will be vigorously
prosecuted till success shall crown the ef-
fort.

OPERA HoWsS.-rhe more we see of Mrs.
Howard the more are we pleased with her.
She is a pleasant looking, charming little
woman; endowed by Nature with a rich
voice, which has been cultivated to such
extent as to literally charm all who hear IT,
Her songs are better defined by the word
"sweet' than any other at our command at
present; TO appreciate, one must hear her;
she fills the whole house with harmony with
out apparent effort, and invariably receives
an encore.
Watkins too, is not only an admirable
Comedian, but quite a musician, and charm
ed the whole house to death-like stiffness
last evening, by the low plaintive notes of
his mellow-toned "Pipe." Altogether, we
think they are as interesting and attractive
as any performers we have seen upon the
stage this season.
The programme for this evening is one of
unusual merit, and will attract a large au-
dience.

prayer by Elder ]. A. Garfield, Principal of the
Eclectic Institute at Hiram.
We have SO often spoken of the exercises at the
High School on former occasions, and always
in their praise. that, this time, We almost hoped
we might find something to blame, if only 70:
v~ariety's sake but we can only reiterate the old
story. The music by the School Choir, under
the lead of Miss Campbell, was such as gave ev-
idence of her capacity to execute and teach, and
of that of her scholars to learn vocal music
The Anthem, The Lord is King ; and the Song
of Steam were admirably performed. Miss
Bronson presided at the piano to the perfect
satisfaction of the audience.
