MEMORY AND Musrc.-Thc entertainment OF
Prof Armes, at Willard Hall, on Monday night
was not largely attended on account of the
rain. But very Intelligent and appreciatiye
audience witnessed, with apparent delight, the
remarkable exhibitions Of Prof. A. and pupils
IN recalling events, dates, names, distances,
latitudes, &C., after but few hours study.
Among those who participated, was young
man, from Cumberland, Nd, who had attended
Prof. AS lectures four years previous. His
facility In repeating large number Of figures,
IN and out or order, was almost incredib bic, not
having reviewed his lessons since first given.
In order TO prove the absence of collision, va
rious persons were requested to each put down
certain number Of figures, and the Professor
himself, after glancing over nearly 40 figures
irregularly put down, of difficult combination
selected and accurately gave the Goth, 9th, and
any other figure requested, this being consid
cred the browning triumph of the science. IL
would indeed only have been necessary to wit
ness this exhibition to be convinced Of its per-
feet utility. II having been urged upon Prof.
Al, we learn, that at some propitious day, he
Will repeat this remarkable exhibition, and we
feel assured he will have q crowded house. The
Marine Band were present and discoursed some
delightful music, and Miss Rumsey entertained
ne me audience with an inspiring patriotic song,

PRoFANE AND DRUNKEN NoMAN.--About
O'Clock last night, the people along the Ave-
nue., near Sixth street, were shocked BY hear
Ing the vilest profanity and indecency in Lam
guage ever heard, proceeding from tho mouth
OF beautiful and elegantly attired female, who
was standing near hack and abusing the dri-
yer In the choicest billingsgate. She had been
riding around In the hack and then refused TO
pay the hire OF the same. Officer Pendal ar
rested her and took her before Justice Walter.
she was very much intoxicated and quite
"saucy !" to the magistrate, who ordered her to
be locked up for contempt. She gave her name
as Elizabeth Monroe, and claimed relationship
with Ex-President Monroe, declaring that she
belonged to the +. +. VS., and says she recently
came from the "Southern Confederacy.v She
was quite noisy In the cell, and saw rats and
"snaix" In great profusion In her sleeping
apartments.
SUSPICION OF LARcENY.-Frank Elwood, a
tavern keeper, and Charles Simpson were ar
rested yesterday afternoon ON suspicion of be-
ing engaged In q plot to rob a man by the
name Of Samuel Caskin, who recently came
from Loudoun county, Virginia, with COW,
mare and colt for sale, and considerable money,
with bonds and other papers of value. Some
body had piled him with liquor pretty freely,
and being apparently an honest-hearted old
man, the villains doubtless intended to rob him
Of all his property. They got into fight with
him and one had knocked him down, when Of
fcers Fenwick, Crown and Nichol discovered
the party and arrested them. Elwood was dis
missed and the others locked up In the Fourth
ward station. They will be tried to-day.
