An Irish drayman named Matthew Daley was
taken to the Charity Hospital between and 6
O'Clock yesterday morning, being wounded in the
abdomen, but while waiting for admission he ex-
pired. George Pope, the proprietor Of Daley IS
boarding house, then removed the body to the First
District police station.
Before this, it was ascertained from Daley him
self, that he had been stabbed the previous night
in Fallon's grocery, on St. Thomas street, by one
Daniel Callaghan; but it appears that he gave no
information of the occurrence until late at night,
or rather early in the morning, when he was heard
groaning, and found to be wounded in a shock
ing manner He was then brought to the Charity
Hospital but too late.
Before Callaghan was taken out Of Popes house,
acting Corporal Flee, of the upper station, had
arrested Calaghan, and brought him to Daley for
Identification. The wounded man said the prisoner
was the man who did it; but it seems, so far as
we can learn, that no further information was OBJ
tanned from him at the time, nor subsequently, we
suppose.
The Coroner was notified, and DR.. Drew held the
post.mortem examination, which went to show
that the deceased came to his death from an in
csed wound, one and q half inches long, in the
left side of the abdomen, above the crest of the
i!ium which caused large portion of the ntestines
to protrude and become strangulated, thus caus-
ing death. The examination of witnesses was de.
ferred. Two brothers named Clahey were yester-
day arrested rs accessories or Witnesses and
locked up.

Patrick O'Fanigan, being in an uncertain state
and not quite able to distinguish, at late hour of
the night, his own house from his neighbors, in a
row of similar ones, concluded to make a bold
push and trust to luck. Ascending the steps he
rang the bell, which was answered by the lady
living next him, and who knew him we'll.

A clergyman in Scotland desired his hearers
never to call one another liars, but when any one
said thing that not true, they ought to whis-
tie. One Sunday he preached a sermon on the
parable OF the leaves and fishes, and being at a
loss how to explain it, he said the loaves were not
like those nowadays; they were as big as the
hills of Scotland. He had scarcely pronounced
the words, when he heard loud whistle.
"What's that?" said he, "who calls me a liar ?''
at is /, Willy Mcdonald, the baker"
"Weel Willy, what objections ha' ye to what
told ye?"
"None, Master John, only l wanted to know
what sort of oven they had to bake those loaves
in ?D

A good deacon, away up in Maine, recently, in
addressing Sabbath school, made point by the
following anecdote: @ .1n. a=a
"Children,n continued the deacon, syou all

Well, the first day got to Augusta, took dinner
at the tavern right beside me, at the table, sat
member from one of the back towns, that had
never taken dinner at q tavern before. Before his
plate was dish of peppers, and he kept looking
and looking at them; and finally, as the walters
were mighty slow in bringing on things, he up
with his fork and in less than no time souzed down
on one. The tears came into his eyes, and he
seemed hardly to know what to do. At last,
splitting the pepper into his hands, he laid it down
by the side of his plate-and with voice that set
the whole table in roar, exclaimed, Just lie thar

The following characteristic sketch is given Of
Japanese customs in the intercourse and exposure
to each other of the sexes:
Under porch, and in an angle by the side of
their house, a man and his wife are enjoying tub
of warm water in the open air. He is seated on
the rim of the tub with his legs in the water his
wife, fine buxom young woman, is busy with
bundle Of flax, instead of a sponge, rubbing down
world, and evidently as indifferent to their neigh
bors as their neighbors are to them. Nobody
looks at them, yet it is contrary to our ideas Of
propriety, and we do not like seeing naked child
rem in the neighborhood, but so it is.

AMUsEaGENrs.-!9. Charles Theater. Mr.. Eddy
last night made his debut as Jack Cade, in the fa
nous play of that name, before an audience fair in
number and devout in attention. He made de-
cidedly faYoraby impression, for he was much ap-
plauded and will most certainly improve upon
acquaintance. We will allude particularly to Mr..
Eddy's acting on another occasion. Tonight he
appears Louis and Fdbrien, in the "Corsican
Brothers''-a character, or pair of characters in
which he has achieved the most unbounded success
in other parts Of the country. The farce of The
Welsh Girl v will conclude to-nghts performance
Varieties Thedter.-"Onr American Cousin was
produced last night before full and brilliant au-
dience. The comedy went off with the full
| measure of success which is usual to all comedies
presented at the Varieties with its rich and beau
tiful sceneries and exquisite comic actors and ac-
tresses. To say that "Our American Cousin' was
triumph, is only to repeat tho old story in regard
to whatever comedy has been put upon the Varie-
ties boards. This same glorious theatrical enter
tainment will be repeated tonight.
Acadeny Of Nusic.-There was no performance
last night, the Chrsty Minsrels not having arrived
| in consequence of the break on the Jackson Rail-
road. When the Minstres do arrive, they will
make up for lost time, sure. 1t is highly probable
chasers Of tickets for last night will remember that
their tickets will be good for tonight, or the first
time the Minstrels appear. Read their programme
| in another column.

| the Museum, from 10 A. NJ to 10 P. NJ. This is the
greatest curiosity, but there thousand others
/ Dan Rices Great iShoec.-Dan Rice gives his
second and last exhibition, under canvas in the
| Third District to night. The place is on the Rail-
| road, between Moreau and Casacalvo streets. This
will be positively Dams last appearance in New
Orleans; for tomorrow, he takes to his steamboat
and leaves for the upper country The fun-loving
| people down town had better take advantage o
/ to-nghts last chance.

negro boy pianist, who created such a sensation al

MILITARY REVIEW.
Gen. Traey's brigade Ghe uptown companes)
turned out yesterday afternoon for brigade in
spection and review, on Lafayette Square. The
turnout was uncommonly fine; the different com
panies being each and all out in strong force, look
ing as bright and ready as SO many air-triggers.
The following companies were on the ground:
Washington Artillery Battalion, (two companies)
under Major Walton. =
Continental Guards, Capt. Clark. ~ ~.
Louisiana Guards, Capt. Todd. -
Orleans Cadets, Capt. Chas. D. Drew.
Louisiana Grays, Capt. Dean. r,. NJ
Sarsfeld Guards, Capt. O'Hara. ~
Jefferson Rifles, Capt Jules Drew.
And the Montgomery Guards, new company
that made its first appearance in brigade, and was
received with due military h0nors.
Gen. Tracy and staff reviewed the brigade, in
presence Of great crowd of people. We never
before saw Lafayette Square so densely surrounded
by the civic popuIace on any occasion.
After the review at the Square, the brigade
marched through the principal streets, not only the
observed, but the admired and esteemed of all
observers. It was by far the finest display Of the
| uptown brigade within our remembrance.

FIRES.


The alarm of fire about O'Clock yesterday
morning was occasioned by q defective stove-pipe
acting the incendiary in a house on New Legee
street. between Jackson and Philip streets, Fourth
district But little damage was done.
At a quarter-past o'clock yesterday morn
ing, fire broke out in the upper part of twostory
house on Carondeet street, between Clio and Erato
streets, occupied by Mrs. Walters, dressmaker.
The flames spread in the adjoining residence of DR..
Ready, and both places were pretty much burnt
out. The next house above occupied by DR.. Cross
was also injured in the roof, and the adjoining one
occupied by Mr.. George Murphy, though it escaped
fire, is drenched as thoroughly as it could be. Mrs
Walters and DR.. Ready's houses are owned by Mr.
Thos. Askew, the other two by P. Casanave, +. m.
c. The whole loss amounted to about $500.
At about l o'clock, another alarm sounded; a
terrific alarm no less alarm than that the Ship
pers Cotton Press, corner of New Leyee and Hen
derson streets, was on fire. cotton bale or two,
near the gate, were found afame, but squelched
by fire company on its return from one of the
other fires above mentioned. This fire was started
during the absence of the hands at dinner. But
for the lucky circumstance of fremen being just
then on their way home from another fire, this
would have been a very disastrous fire; for the
other bales, and half hours delay might have
caused the loss of many thousand dollars to " King

Examining a yyltness.

Everybody knows Mr.. r.. the rather successful
criminal lawyer OF Philadelphia, says the Mercury,
and the peculiar tact with which he usually sqc-
ceeds in elicitng the truth from a witness. He,
once in while, however, meets with queer Gus
toner, with whom he can do nothing Whateyer.
Such one turned up before committing magis-
trate on Thursday last.
A Mr.. Doyle was complained of for keeping q
disordery house IN Shippen street. The complain
ant engaged r. to attend to his case and put Doyle
through course OF sprouts. The first witness ex-
ination by R.

R. called the attention Of the Court to this
answer, and desired the magistrate to take note
| The magistrate did SO. ia E&f
| "What do you mean when yon say the repata-
| tion of the house is bad ?''
| That it has the devils own chimney, and a
roof that leaks like sieve.a @
" You still misunderstood me, 0Eeil Let us

STUPIDITY OF AN OMNIBUS DRIVER.

It often occurs to us that drivers Of mules be-
come possessed or afflicted with a great deal of
the stubbornness characteristic of their quadru-
peds. 1t may be from constant association, or it
may be from an innate nature, the same as with
the mule, we know not which. A case occurred
last evening, which demonstrated entirely, to our
mind, the aptness of the association and the doubt
as to which was really the most intelligent of the
two-the driver or his team. A party of ladies'
and gentlemen, with their children, got into No. 4
Dryades street omnibus to visit the theater. One
of the gentlemen bought bunch of ten tickets
and deposited the whole number in the box for
their fare though it did not require all of them.
The driver had no light upon his box and of course
could not see how many tickets were put in, but
on being told by disinterested persons inside stub
bornly refused to believe there were more than
two; instead of the ten tickets. His manner and
language were grossly insulting, and no assevera
ton of those inside conld induce him to move on
| Finally, he got down and lit his lamp and scruti
nized, when, of course, his bull-headedness wa
apparent. 1t is more than likely that the presenc
of the ladies saved his boorship from merited chas
| tisement.
