A MYSTERY SoIvED.-Ycstcrday after
noon, while on our perambulations in
search Of that everlasting, alfred
"item," our attention was suddenly ar
rested by the sight Of square slab about
lOx12, whether of marble, limestone, wood,
or what not, age or dirt would not allow to
be shown. The locality was quiet one,
or at least as quiet as a neighborhood
composed chiefly of small sizcd fve-cent
rum mills or downstairs cOokShops could
possibly be. To our right was one of these
establishments, rather larger than the rest,
and having the advantages Of an upstairs
as we'll as downstairs department, and
"yaller painted sign with 6 Barr DOM an
Restaurant on it, surrounded by five oyS-
ter shells and surmounted by a broken
cows horn. In fact, the whole establish
ment had, in comparison with its surround
ings, a first-cass look. But the slab was
the object which caused us to pause. What
gave it more the appearance OF age than
Of dirt was the mysterious characters ill.,
scribed upon it. No man could have
doubted at first sight that it was Il relic Of
antiquity. There it lay at the foot of
an alanthus tree, in full sight of the
passer-by, and Pickwick, Or st. Elmo,
or any other enterprising young man in
search Of cabalistic signs or words not to
be found in the dictionary, would have
seized it with ayidity as a rare treasure.
The color Of this mysterious slab was de-
cidedly negative, likewise the letters
being Of mixture of parti colored blue
and deep brown claret-bottle brindle,
the whole shaded with dirty-fngered
black. Bordering it were artistic fonrishes
and fanciful curly g's, such as Michael
Angelo never made, or even tried 10. The
characters read literally thus:
CAB alto Mig HIT"
fuzzled and mystlicd, we stood vainly
endeavoring to translate the characters,
ana Ealing utterly, we looked around US
TO see If We could find any one to solve
the mystery. The only person in sight
was gentleman trying to balance him
self on an empty beer barrel, and locking
despairlngly for some spot outside Of the
gutter upon which TO rest his "woary

LEcTUREs.-The Masonic A cademy OF
this city has some sixty or seventy pupils.
The large and generous contributions of
the fraternity hardly suffice to pay all
current expenses. The committee have
therefore provided for course of three
lectures, the proceeds of which will be
used in aid of this noble charity. No one
can hesitate to spend one dollar in so good
q cause as that of educating orphan chill
dren. The Masons of Richmond eXpend
thousands every year for this purpose. See
advertisement for particulars as to the
lectures.

A ROBBERY on BROAD sTREET.-On
Tuesday evening at about o'clock the
store of Mr.. Morris Evans, on Broad near
Fourth street, was robbed OF about forty
dollars. A little negro was seen leaving
the store, but by the time Mr.. Evans had
examined the money drawer he was ont Of
sight, and has not yet been apprehended.

FIELDS Cook DEMURs-THE NEGROES
APPEAL FOR AID FROM THE WHITES
Fields Cook, prominent colored kcpub-
lican of this city, who was for some time
employed as q State canvasser ior inc
party, has come out in q card, addressed to
his friends. He wishes it distinctly I'M
derstood that the use Of his name at the
late meeting on the Square was without
his knowledge or consent. The colored
men who took part in that meeting and
signed the resolutions calling for the as
sistance Of white men in the organization
of their party in this State are, he alleges,
lust where he told them they would be,
and where they ought TO have been three
months ago. At the time of the assem-.
bling of the August Convention he urged
the coored people to unite with the "co-
operation Union men in the formation OF
a party, but his advice was rejected with
dsdain. Now they are appealing for help
from tho very men with whom they then
refused to "co0pcrate.'
In conclusion, he expresses the nope
that as these wanderers have now seen the
error Of their ways, and, deeply penitcnt,
really desire their white friends to lend
them assistance, the gentlemen called
upon will not stand of, but will help them
out of their political troubles.
Cook is one of the moro moderate CO.
lored Radicals, and has conducted himself
during the past few months in manner
calculated to win some respect from his
fellow citizens. Unfortunately, the call
for cooperation with the white men of Vir-
GINA comes at the eleventh hour"
That assistance was prof1ered in August !;
now there is different state OF affairs.
The negroes at the October election threw
down the gauntlet Of defiance. The
whites accepted the situation. The ne
groes then declared for war of races,
and raised the cry of "No quarter"
Noop they hoist the flag Of truce merely
because the Radical forces at the North
have experienced an unexpected rout.
They demanded wager Of battle. AT the
next election our acceptance will be sig
nifed.
