CISRA--A young and enthusiastic ma
tive of the sunny Cline of Africa,
named Mary Hopkins, made her debut
before + the Police Court yesterday
morning at precisely o'clock, by gem
tie persuasfons of some well known
city gentlemen who presented her with
a written card of invitation In am
swer to the summons Mary came forth.
She swept majestically into the court
room, with kinky waterfall and ex-
panded crinoline, and "faced the mu-
Sic" without aught of trepidation suf-
fusing the ebon shades of her greasy
countenance. Mary had been TO
"meetin" with her sable sisters the
other night. Mary did not feel spirit
ually inclined during the religions ex-
ercises. She commenced tittering and
showing her worries in very unbe-
coming manner. Presently she let out
loud outlaw which stopped the col
ored preacher in the midst OF an elo-
quent exhortation. She was taken to
the Police Court and taught better man
ners by paying a fine of i've dollars and
few additional greenbacks for ICON

WE were called on yesterday by Mr..

the American Lead Pencil Company,
of New York. He exhibited samples
of his company's manufactures, (which
compare fayorably, as to prices and

gave us some interesting particulars as

ing pencils.
The plumbago is imported from Ger

having been discovered in the United
States. 1t is first reduced to the fine
ness of iour-is then brought back to a

gone into the business on a very extern

at fair prices will do it, to stop the i'm
portation of them. Already they are
having an extensive sale, although but

the inquiry "What becomes of all the

propriety.
