A CHAuIrABLG Aor.-A funeral procession
of respectable length and most decent APP
pearance. was observed, On Friday morning
passing through our streets, on its way to the
Protestant Burial Ground We naturally
incurred who it was, thus being borne to the
silent city. We ascertained that 1t was one
of the frail and fallen ones, so common To
our superior @ civilization She was sop"h'
ish female, of the better class who had
reaned the wages of sin, which is death.
After lingering for many months with con-
sumption, superinduced 10y dissipation, she
had at last found the ultimate relief She
died in peace, believing, like Magdalen that
she was forgiven. Such incidents as these
are common; but we come now TO part o'
the story which does not every day ma It's
narallel This woman, ont of the Kindness
of her heart purely and di'inierested'y' once
conferred pecuniary benefit upon young
man whose line of life happened to cross
hers. although not criminally. ears passed.
The woman became sick poor and neglected,
The young man, Of whom we speak, heard
of her condition. went to see her provided a
nhvsician. nurse, and comfortable bedding
and provided for all her wants, out of his
own purse. When she was dead, he paid al
her funeral expenses, had her laid in an ele-
pant coffin, hired all the carriages in the
funeral procession, and followed her to the
grave, in which she was as tenderly and as
decently laid as if her life had been that of
the fairest and purest of enrth's daughters.
On being demonstrated with by some of his
acquaintance on the folly of wasting his
money on such being, he replied. " | don't
care what any body says; she ~dS my Jr'e"d
Well, We don't say that this young man was
the best of his sex, or that his life is a pattern,
in all respects, for others to follow; dut, has
he not manifested a true and kindly spot in
his heart? Has he not demonstrated that
there as such thing as friendship, when
friendship does not pay him who practices it
in dollars and cents? ? "She was my friend ,
That was enough for him. Poor, outcast,
despised, the wasted skeleton that he watched
by, and that he followed to tie grave, amidst
the eers of some, that of trtend
Verify, in all ranks of society, there Is some
thing TO redeem humanity still.
TuEArER.-The theater was crowded, last
evening, with the elite Of the city, and the
performances went Off admirably. The "SiX
Degrees of Crime" was played with thrilling
effect, Mrs. Woodward sustaining the part of
Mad. Doncet with great efficiency, and Miss
Edwin that of Louise with fine discrimination
and most iudcious taste. Her acting was
very fine indeed. Mr.. Booths rendition OF
Julio Dormillo was highly creditable. The
second piece, "'rhe Carpenter ofRouen" went
off equally well, Mr.. Perry playing Martean
with mastery appreciation of what is re-
quired in the part.
Tonight the company will play at Tim
buctoo, ard on Monday evening, they will
present in this city the "Three Fast Men of
the Oldeu Time or King Charles Sec cond's
Merry Days"
NOE VS. NoE-This divorce case, in which
the wife accuses the husband of being of nc
account, as a provlder for his family, and the
husband accuses thc wife of adultery and at
tcmpts to poison him, is now progressing be
fore Referee in Sutter county. The follow
ing letter has been sent us from San Francis
CO. and we feel at liberty TO publish It. AT
any rate we shall do so
Bart. L. Noe married to Jane A. Noe in
1884? they are the same persons who re-
sided in Lafayette adjoining New Orleans, a
circumstance which took place few years
after that time would certainly add to the
attention which the Marysville Democrat says
the divorce suit will attract.
"There lived in New Orleans an individual
whose appearance was most remarkable. lie
was tall and slender; was dark completed ;
had a colorless face, and was about 80 years
of age lie was always neatly dressed, and
wore queer hat He was genteel in hi;
manners, and behaved himself with the great
est propriety He practiced medicine, anc
when once seen in his peculiar and stylish
vehicle, his appearance was such as not easily
to be forgotten !; but that which rendered him
still more remarkable, was the shortness Of
his hair, which he said he wore SO closely cut
to keep it from falling.
"Noe suspected an improper intimacy be-
tween this individual and his wife, obtained
letters, it was supposed-and shot and killed
the young physician. 1t turned out, or it
was reported, that this strange parsonage was
a Canadian colored gentleman, who thu:
wore his hair to conceal his origin.
'The identity Of the parties and the cor
rectness of this statement might easily be
aseertained, and as their names are before
the public, it is expected that there is no i'm
propriety in disclosing these facts.
"SHABERs" The Appeal goes into raotures
ove-.two little "shakers" which it saw the
other day, hanging up on somebody's window
blind. Well, every one to his taste, but We
confess that the sight of shaker" does moi
make us the least bit sentimental On the
contrary, we always feel little ri3ed wher
we see them. In the first place, they are the
most unbecoming things that a woman evei
put on her head, and iu the second place, if {
woman was as beautiful as an angel you
