olgn99r Giugini, the mad tenor, was lately
VISITED BY two friends from Italy. When they
entered ms sitting room he recognized them,
ana at nrst spoke in an apparently rational
manner. Suddenly, however, he asked them
whether they would wish an order for the
opera; Wishing to make such reply as they
thought likely to please him, they answered in
the affirmative. He then, handing each a
char, desired them to take their places in the
boxes, adding that the performance would not
commence for few minutes, as he had to
dress. Having gone to his dressing-room,
and made some change in his attire, he came
forward as if approaching the footlights, and
sang as charmingly as ever he had been heard
to sing on the stage. ( ---

After listening TO her story, detectives
Heath and Hunt Were detailed to work
up the matter, and, if possible, recover
the missing 5000, and arrest the party
having il. The detectives were absent
from the Cflice but " short time, when
they returned with mas in custody,
whom the woman identified as the one
wanted, and from whom they obtained
S25O0, apparently to the great relief OF
the loser.
The scene now changes, Wednesday q
gentleman from New York arrived in
town, and at once reported TO the Chiefs
office that last Friday night a female
named "Nellie" robbed him of $4,000 in
money and U. S. bonds, and that he had
reason to believe that she had come to
this city. The finale of the whole mat
ter is, that Nellie Otis, alias Curtis, was
arrested and committed to the TombS.
Considerably less than one-halt the
money she stole from the New York gen
tleman has been recovered, but he Ie-
fuses to prosecute her, and only desires
that the sporting men who have par
taken of ''Nellie's" hospitality at his eX-
pense may be honorable enough, if they
have any bonds or money belonging to
him, to return the same forthwith to the

they are now without food, or any pro-
vision for the coming wister. William
King, Union man from Georgia, adj
dressed a meeting OF merchants in Bos-
ten on the wants OF the colored people
in his state. He said the stock and
crops were nearly exhausted In Savaa-
nah some $500 To 1000 Of the poorer
classes were fed by kortherS liberality.
The owners OF cotton generally lost
what they had, and there was no capital
upon which people could rely for sup
plies. The cotton and rice crops being
the principal dependence OF the people,
and requiring continuous labor, the first
of twelve months and the other of nine,
had been neglected for want of labor
that could be depended upon. In rea-
ton to the blacks, he said the accounts
were exaggerated on both sides, con-
corning their disposition to labor, but it
was true that many of them Were in
destitute condition, and must be pro
vided for until they can be placed in
condition to make a living for them
selves, Mr.. King forcibly urged the
adoption of some measures by which
the negro would receive advice and con-
troll, and hoped Northern men would 90
South and employ them with reference
to their benefit, on small plantations.
Unless cared for they would to great
extent die, the mortality now being fear
full among them.
