They slipped upon us They yanked US
like the devil. Some Of our merchants
had been selling unstamped tobacco, and
had to pay from twenty-five to forty dol
lars for the indiscretion. Some Of our
saloons kept liquori in unbranded barrels;
another unwittingly sold an empty bar
rel with the Inspectors brand on it and
in each case fine Of $500 was assessed.
Some Of our lawyers had been 'runnin
their machines, and sawin' without H.
cense, and in one instance fine Of
$500 was assessed; but the matter was
carried to higher authority, and the fine
was reduced to 81 GA. We suppose
this detective business is legiiimate-it is
certainly pay-in concern, but we
submit it to Uncle Sam Is it fair to slip
on a loyal community in any such
manner2 Our folkslcan't see it in that
light We have resolved to regard all
such characters hereafter as mysterious

THINGS THEATRICAL. = Business in
theatricals has not been so good during
the past week in Southern theatres, on
account of the weather, or seeming
lull in commercial activity.
At the Vicksburg Theatre, " the beau
tiful and fascinating $50 says the pro-
gramme) Mile Marie-a French lady,
born in America-was the attraction
during the past week, and still remains
during the present.
The Crescent Combination Com
pany," with Ada Reese at the head, were
at Natchez, Miss, short time ago
They occupied the Institute Hall, and
the Courier says they drew good houses,
and that the members of the company
are ladies and gentlemen of acknowledged
merit and ability.
Mexican Buchanan, the man who can
not play Hamlet half as well as he can
play poker, with his daughter Virginia,
is in Peoria, Illinois. The Democrat Of
that place, an excellent theatrical critic,
has no word to say for him, We suppose
friend Dowdall thinks he is not worth a
notice.
The Cairo Atheneum, which opened
short time ago with n dramatic company,
we suppose, has gone under again for
the want of patronage. The Cairo Dem
ocrat does not say word about it. 1t
may be that Barney Marshall crushed
the histrionics as they came to town
upon their mule.
Mr. Proctor is at Wood Theatre, Gin
cinnati, drawing good houses. The le-
climate has aus ger spieled" nj that
place.
They have built a new theatre at st.
Louis, opposite the Southern Hotel, and
the proprietors are going to desecrate
the temple of the drama by opening it
with some negro show. 1t commences
with dramatic company next season.
Blanche DeBar is at DeBar's Opera
House, St. Louis, where she is drawing
good houses.
