MAzEPPA AT THE BROADWAY TuEATRE.-The
New York Tribune of May lSt says. To an
nuuuce that Miss Adah Isaacs Nienken would APP
pear at the Broadway Theatre in the character
Of AlaZeppa was TO announce that Il woman would
exhibit herself, in public, in Il condition closely
upon nudity and such an announce
ment, of course. was calculated to draw together
an immense cOncourse of spectators. Such Il
concourse greeted Miss Mcnkcn's first appearance
evening. The broadway Theatre was dense
ly crowded. The audience, composed chiefly Of
males, was the coarsest and most brutal assembly
thai we have ever CHANGED to see at Il theatre on
Broadway. Every variety OF dissolute life was
represented in 1t. The purple nose, the scor-
butte countenance, the CLASSY eye, the bull head,
the heavy lower Jaw, the aspect Of mingled lewd-
ness and ferocity-all was there. Youths, whose
attire exhibited an eruptive tendency towards
cheap .jewelry, lolled upon their seats, champing
tobacco and audibly uttering their filthy minds.
sports were abundant. The atmosphere fairly
reeked with vulgarity. Long before the curtain
rose, the galleries resounded with the clamor of
the gods. Remarks, of Il character compliment
to Tony Pastor, were frequently audible.
Such was the audience To whom the stalwart
proportions of Miss Menken were duly exhibited.
1t is unnecessary to say that the spectacle was
applauded.

CoURT.-One morning lately the Sergeant of the
Second Precinct reported the case OF Gen. L. 5.
Grant, arrested for fast driving, as settled by the
General paying the fine. We are informed that
when the policemen went to Army Headquarters
and laid his warrant ON the table before the Cen
eral, that officer looked at it, and turning to the
servant of the law, remarked, Il suppose you
a pride in this. The officer said No, |
| only do it because 1t is my duty"
The General pleasantly intimated that, under
martial law, the tables might be turned, and the
server of the warrant sent to the guard house.
The officer replied that the General might do as
ne pleased, but he had performed his duty, add
" | also did my duty under you, General,
1t Vicksburg, and you did not find fault with me
The General Immediately acknowledged
the service of the warrant, appeared before JUS
Walter, and paid the fine. The General
would, no doubt, be pleased to have some place
,ther than a public race course where lie might
exercise his horses. and SO would many other
here, who, like him, suppose they
'io,ate no law by fast driving in the thinly set
led SuIurbs of the city
