has been so of laie that lady could not

they drink at the places is enough to in

his best TO suppress these fellows but he
can't be everywhere, and large number

put a stop to these disgraceful scenes and

monday Evenings Tableaux.

1t was great disappointment no less t.
the worthy managers and performers, thar
to our musement-loving population, thai
the horrid inclemency of the weather or
Tuesday supervened to prevent that COM
plete success which must certainly have
otherwise attended the tableau entertain
ments Of that evening. Notwithstanding
the cold incessant rain during that day and
night, the ladies and gentlemen connected
with The undertaking, determined on car
rying it through as best they could under
the circumstances, and accordingly it came
of-"un .fdt aocomp1s."
Instead of hundreds, as the audience
would doubtless have mum bered had the
weather been fine, there could hardly have
been more than seventy or eighty specta-
tors present. Among the missing were
several of the ladies and gentlemen who
were to have taken part in the perform
ances. The places Of these had to be sup
Piled by substitutes improvised for the
occasion. In some instances there ap-
peared no other remedy than to curtail a
few Of the scenes; yet, in spite of all the
difficulties which had to be surmounted
the pieces represented were well rendered
and judging from the applause manifested
the performers gave general satisfaction.
The pieces wore appropriately selected,
and, for the most part, very handsomely
gotten up as to scenic and costume ar
engagements. Among the principal of
these, were the Bouquet of Beauty'' rep
resented by an array of pretty little girls
arranged in pyramidal form with suitable
floral belishments; the "Statue of
Evadne," the copy of a scene from Shaks-
peare's Winters Tale;" "Morninp and
Night" an idea derived, we suppose, from
Ihorwaldsen's great master pieces of
sculpture; the Soldiers Dream:" the
"Doom Of Myrza," an oriental dramatic
scene, In which there was exhibited some
very clever theatrical acting; the Murder
OF the young Princes in the Tower,n and
something laughable styled the "Wander-
ing Mlnstrels." There was also Cha
radcliffe "Mend i-cant'-and q comic
song.
The excellent orchestral band belonging
to CART's Theatrical Troupe, now in our
city, volunteered for the occasion, and
added greatly to the pleasures of the
evening.
Oyster gumbo and other ct eeteras in the
way of refreshments were on hand and in
brisk demand. Last scene of all, came the
dance TO give new life and enjoyment to
all who chose to remain until the small
hours Of approaching morn drew near.

BG~ We published an account a
few days ago, of the capture Of the
steamer Lily, with large cargo Of
cotton, on the Tombigbee River, Ala,
by a band Of guerrillas. Another
steamer, the Belfast, was since captured
on the same stream and, as supposed
by the same parties. The Belfast was
also heavily laden with cotton, belon-
ging to private individuals. This the
guerrillas took off at different points,
and afterwards turned the boat over to
the captain. A gunboat was sent up
che river from Mobile, with a detach-
ment Of .. S. Troops, consisting of
company E. 21st Missouri, under COM
mand Of Captain N. SINNoT, for the
purpose Of fsrreting out the depreda-
tors and arrestiDg them, as also to re-
cover the stolen cotton. The detach-
ment, as we are informed by the Mo
bile Tribune, succeeded in recovering
about 800 bales out of 500 which
were taken from the boat. The guer-
rillas had entirely discharged the
steamer Of her cargo, and were pro-
ceeding to haul their plumber overland
from Paine's woodward GU the Bigbee
to a point on the Alabama river some
twenty miles distant, having five wag-
ons and teams engaged for this bus
mess. Twenty bales were recovered
on the Alabama river that had thus
been transported there for shipment.
Two of the parties now under arrest
went up from Mobile as passengers on
The same boat that conveyed Lieut..
Sinuott and his party up the Bigbee
they were known, but kept out of
sight of that officer until they reached
their point Of destination.
The creditable manner, says the
Tribune, in which Lieut.. S. per-
formed his arduous duty should entitIe
him to the highest praise from bis
superior officers.
A military commission, ordered by
the Post Commandant, is now 10
session at Mobile, for the purpose Of
inquring into this guerrilla raid and
trying the arrested parties.

Bay The tableaux to be given by
the ladies of the Methodist Churcd Cd
Tuesday evening next, give promise Of
rich treat. Among the scenes to be
represented, will be the doom of
Myrza," which was enacted on Mon
day night at the exhibition for the
benefit Of the Episcopal Church. Our
young friend LEFEvER, who appears
in this scene has taken great interest
in getting up the costumes suited for
it and in arranging it with view to
proper stage effect. It's repetition
cannot fail to prove acceptable.
The proceeds of the exhibition for
Tuesday are intended mainly to aid
the Church in aequitting itself of an
indebtedness to one of our worthy cit
liens, whose skill and architectural
services we're instrumental in remodel
ing the Church edifce into its present
elegant appearance and proportions.
His services we're thus employed pre-
vious to the war, and they remain un.
requited. Like many others, be has

and proper that some steps should be
taken toward paying him the amount
so justly due him.

INGENIOUS ENIGMA.-The follow
ing was written by Mr.. Canning, and
for a long time it bafled the skill of
all England to solve it:
"There is word of plural numb
A foe to peace and human slu Der;
Now, any word you chance to take,
BY adding s, you plural make;
But if you add an to this,
How strange the metam OF phosis
Plural, is plural then no more,
And sweet, what bitter was BEFORE"
The solution will be found in the
word cares, to which by adding an s
you have careSs.

BEEF.-Johnny Hook cried beef, beef
I. and 50 does Bony Burch-the advantage, how
ever, is all on Bony S side for he gets paid for
his in Jolly good Green while the tory Hook,
who followed the bleeding footsteps of the
rebel army of the revolution, with his dis
eOrdant notes, only received has compensation
for bis bovines, in the hootings, and .hissings,
and execrations of every honest man in the
land But to let Johnny slide, and to return
to our mutton" or rather beef. On Saturday
Bony sold "a quarters, at prices ranging from
4to Il cents, a very great deal less than the
same article could be bought at the market for.
There the price is 123 cents retail, and 10 cents
BY the quarter. TO repeat, the idea heretofore
advanced by us, We take occasion again to urge
UPON our citizens and especially the poorer class,
whose means compel them to buy by the small,
the great saving in combining together, ard
tuying at these sales. To do so will make
their meat cost them / to cents pound less
than they now pay-a sum not to be lightly
considered in these times Of stringency in the
money market TO elucidate'o our plan: Sup
pose six families buy quarter of beef at auc
ZION, weighing $50 pounds at seven cents-tte
total cost is l050-diyided by six aud we
have $l.75 to each family. Go to the market
and buy the same at retail at l23 cents, and we
have as the cost SIS 75--divided by six, and
it gives s3l23 cents to each purchaser, the
former plan saving to him the not insignificant
sum Of ST. 379, in 25 pounds of beef; an amount
sufficient to purchase a small load Of wood
1t is useless to pursue the subject further. 1t
is so plain that 'the who runs, though fool,
may read The same results Will be obtained
in the cooperative system of purchase of all
other articles that enter into family consump-
ZION, and we have selected this one only Re-
cause the prices were more readily attainable,
and the results thus more easily deducsd.-
