A day or two after the great battle.
Mr.. Cowau made his appearance at the
Executive mansion. Mr., johnson
was absorbed in a private letter, and
did not raise his eyes for at least three
minutes. during which tinc the SEN
ator was kept standing, hat in hand,
unnoticed. Finally the President
looked up and said;
"Well! You are here, are your

There as another Overhowing house at the Athe-
neum last evening. Tho Naiad Queen is the great
attraction and well it deserves to be, for it is not
only beautiful and magnificent in its scenes and
spectaces but mirth. provoking in many Of its da-
logues and incidents.
Mrs Efie Ellsler as the Queen Of thu Maids or
water-nymphs carries herself as becomes one in
her high station, and, whenever she appears exctes
admiration and applause. Mr.. John Ellsler plays
the part of Schnapps, the Esquire, in way that
shows he we'll understands his position, aud has the
ability to fill it TO the qualification and amusement
of all who witness his representation. ss.-
Mr.. Nagle's impersonaton Of the adventurous Sir
Rupert is spirited and gives lively interest in the
fate that awaits him in his watery explorations. The
impersonation of Caroline by Miss Hewitt is, very
beautiful, and her songs and duets delightfully."-
pleasing. We night go on and speak in praise Of
the representations Of Messs. Lee Murdoch, Irving
and Hudson; of Misses Lizzie Herbert, Clara Nor
ris J. E. Irving, Mrs. Smcoe Lee, and dozen or two
Others, ladies and gentlemen, who help form the

The Naad Queen will be produced for the fourth

The City of Columbus can justly boast of
having number of the most splendid and
best regulated Dry Goods Stores in this
country; but there has lately been firm
formed by the name of A. G. Headley &
Co., Nos. 25O and 252 South High street, the
building formerly occupied by Headley,
Richards & Co., which eclipses them all,
and for order and perfect arrangement in
all the details of retailing goods, is not sur
passed in the State Of Ohio.
The principals in this establishment
Messrs. Headley and dThompson-have fitted
up the building in the most superb style,
and their improvements are principally
original, and at once impress the OBJ
server with their utility. -
We happened to drop into this establish
ment yesterday, and found it crowded with
ladies and gentlemen, anxious to make
purchases at the low figures offered by this
firm. Entering this store from High street,
we found a large commodious room filled
with all kinds OF goods, such as rich dress
silks Just received, French and English
merinoes, wool plad pOplins, Empress cloth
and delaines of every description, together
with cloths, cassimeres, satnetts, jeans,
shawls of the latest style, muslins, calicoes,
&C., in fact everything which is kept in a
Dry Goods Store g y t Ftt p 3 san
We were shown an arrangement up
stairs, arranged tor the exhibition ofsilk
goods by gas light, which particularly
struck our fancy. The ladies generally
wish to witness what effect gas light will
have upon the cOlofs Of the silk before
making their purchase. In this establish
ment they can be accommodated in this par
ticular. They also have an arrangement
for the exhibition of window curtains,
which exceeds anything OF the Kind we
ever witnessed. ~ V 0ss T12 M
Aside from the two principals, who are
always on hand attending to their business,
they have fifteen salesmen, one wrapper
and one cashier. Every article that Is sold
by the salesmen is wrapped up, by the
wrapper and the account at the same time
handed to the cashier, who Immediately
enters it in book kept for that purpose.
They are also fitting up ladies' cloak
department in the east, end of the lower
room, which, when finished, will exceed
anything in this city.
This house is daily receiving goods from
the Eastern cities, of the latest styles, which
they will sell at reduced prices. The "prin-
cipal'' gentlemen are well known in this
community, as kind, obliging and reliable
business men, and their clerks are attentive,
polite and agreeable, especially to the ladies.
BY all means call uponA. O.Headley e Co.,
and examine their extensive stock of goods.

sawed OFF Their Irons.

Sheriff Domigan yesterday morning, on
visiting the dungeon OF the jail, where were
confined Stewart, Miers and Miller, the
three prisoners who undertook Intellectual
ly to mine their way out ON Monday,
found, on examining their irons, that they
were sawn asunder, so that they could be
easily stripped off. No instruments could
be found about them by which the saving
could have been effected. The Sheriff i'm
mediately ordered the gentlemen to be fur
nished with new set of irons, and sent the
sawed ones to blacksmith for repair and
use In case they should be needed. Per-
haps, after few more trials, the fellows in
Jail will come to the sage conclusion that 1t
is useless to attempt to elude the ever
watchful vigilance OF Sheriff Domigan and
his assistants. rsr H 5mfa st
A circumstance connected with the above
incident is worth mentioning, as savoring
little of the romantic even In a county
Jail. 1t seems that saw was found In the
prison, which one of the female prisoners
had manufactured, by means of file pro-
cured from some source, from one Of the
ribs Of her hoop skirt. j aasoj lass.

COLUMBUS, o., March %, i

COLUMBUS, W., mhrcn -, loOO' .
MEssRs. EDIroRs OF STATESMAN IL see
by the papers that Maj. Gen, Custar, late
commanding Cavalry force in Texas, has
been before the Reconstruction committee.
Every good citizen of Texas will be sur
prised at his answers. / have travelled
over considerable portion of the State,
officially and as private, where the peo-
pie knew me as "Yankee officer" or as a
discharged Yankee soldier, and invariable
good will and good feeling were extended
towards me. The citizens are anxious to
be under the protection of the old flag and
to have Northern men settle with them.
Their sole object seems to be to get back to
the old status-as things were before the
war. Insupport OF this, look at the actions
of the Convention, now in session at Aus
tin, three-fourths of the members having
been strong secessiOnists and leaders OF their
armies. | can only account for General
Custar's answers in one way. He was sur
rounded with, and generally sent on mis-
sions through the State, by that class of
officers who were anxious to be retained in
the service.
In speaking of the citizens'of Texas, do
not include that class, which Is small, who
are reckless, worthless men, who have all
to gain by disturbance and nothing to
lose. Any one going from here will find
the people of Texas pleasant, and affable
and anxious to do what is right, no matter
where they stood in the struggle that is
past.
AS for the expression that it is said Maj.
Gen. Sheridan used, simply do not be-
lieve it, knowing him as weltas we all do.

Arrest of a FOrger.

A man, whose name we did not learn,
was arrested last evening for passing a
forged noteof hand calling for Sl3O, on
John Hunter, merchant tailor, on South
High street. Mr.. Hunter sold the man a
coat for $40, which the latter afterward
pledged to Cornfeld, the pawnbroker, for
$50 in money. This circumstance, with
others, led to the, discovery that the note
passed over to Mr.. Hunter was forged, and
to the arrest of the forger. He was taken
to the city prison, and will probably have a
hearing before the Mayor this morning.

A smoke, nut NO Fire.

Yesterday forenoon the inmates Of the
late Seminary Hospital on Broad street,
now occupied as a clearinghouse, became
alarmed at an accumulation of dense smoke
from the flue In the attic, and, supposing
that where there was so much smoke there
must be some fire, sent round to the Gay
street Engine House for aid. The alarm
bells were sounded, and soon the Fire De-
partment was on the ground in full force.
The hose was properly disposed ofin very
short time, 80 as TO draw a supply Of water
from the cisterns on the corner Of Broad
and Fourth and of Broad and Fifth streets.
In the mean time, a large crowd had gath
cred, expecting to seea grand show piece
of fire and water works. But the whole
thing ended in smoke. Upon investigation,
1t t1rned out that the attic In the building
where the fire was supposed to be, was
only smoked, and not burned at all. So,
after squirting d little water. and making
the boys scamper, the engines returned to
their stations. ti6
