CHINESE TuEArR1cALs.-The comma

CHINESE TuEArR1cA1s.-Tbe companv
now employed at the Chinese Theater on
Jackson street, consists of no less than
eighty performers, the most of whom ap-
pear nightly on the stage. The latter con-
sists merely Of a platform without drop
curtain or side scenes the rear being
hung with richly-embroidered curtains and
tapestry inwoven with silk of various bril-.
liant colors and gold. These stage proper
ties are said to have cost SO the 81 900 in
China, where goods of this kind are CHEAP
as compared with the cost in this country:
The expense of bringing these performers
to California was $1,000 each; yet the
management is likely to make the expert
ment paying one, the theater being crowd
ed every night with spectators, at seventy
five cents admission each, this being the
price to all parts of the house. The cos.
tune of the actors and the stage trappings
are rich and gorgeous but the perform
ances are Of the most grotesque and noisy
kind, being to "outsiders" quite incompre-
hensible. Like the entire fitting up and
surroundings of the place, the aching is
truly barbaric.-[San Francisco Timer,

Fellow-citzens, let us be prudent and
cautious. We must not give countenance
to any theory which will give our enemies
ground to declare that they have been per-

cure our victory without any difficulty by
showing that it is not followed by any
persecution of the conquered party. In
that will be found our greatest victory

persecution. Let US disappoint them in

Keep Your WORD:

When you promise to do anything, ~
sure to keep you word, as we'll for the sake
of truth as in justice to Others. This very
interesting story is told of a boy who was
singularly faithful 20 his word.
He had borrowed tool from neighhor
promising to return it at night. Before
evening he was sent away on an errand
and did not return until late Before he
went he was told that his brothers should
see the tool returned. After he had come
home and gone to bed, he inquired and
found the tool had not been sent to its
owner. He was much distressed to think
that his word had not been kept but was
persuaded to go to sleep and rise early and
carry it home. By daylight he was up and
nowhere was the tool to be found. After
a long and fruitless search, he sets off fol
his neighbours, in great distress to acknowl-
edge his fault. But how great was his sur.
prise to find the tool on his neighbors
doorstep! And it then appeared, from
the prints of little bare feet on the mud
that the lad had got up in his sleep and
carried the tool home, and went to bed
again and knew it not. Of course boy
who was prompt in his sleep was prompt
when awake. He lived respected, had the
confidence of his neighbors, and was plac
ed in many offices of trust and profit

THE ELECTION YEsrERDAY.-As will be
seen by the returns published elsewhere,
of the election held in this city yesterday,
the Democracy poied 23,897 votes and the
Radicals only 276. As the negroes belong
ing to the Radical party had been ordered
to keep away from the polls, it is fair
inference to suppose that the ZIG votes
represents quite accurately the carpet-bag
element in our city. The election yester.
day throughout the entire day was charac-
terized by more quiet and order than any
election that has ever taken place in our
city.
The Democrats stood pledged to preserve
the peace and to protect all persons alike
in the exercise Of the right of suffrage, and
that they kept their pledge faithfully the
most violent partisans of the Radical party
cannot gainsay. The figures in the table,
which we print elsewhere, were gathered
from the returns taken to the Sheriff's
Office, and correspond with some few tri,
fling exceptions with the returns received
at the central office of registration. The
majority Of the ballot boxes were taken to
the Office Of the Sheriff, while a few oil
them were carried to the Office of the Reg
istrars in the City Hall. What final dis.
position will be made of them remains to
be seen.-[N. o. Picayune.

AN OLD NAN FoULLY MURDERED-THE MUIR

From the Fayettc (Mo) Advertiser, Oc-
tober p.
On last Wednesday, the 14th. in Clear
Creek township, Cooper county, an old
man named Joseph Mapes was foully mur-
dered by three men, and it il supposed that
his wife was instrumental in the crime
The names of the murderers are Thomas
Goode, George Mcintosh and Thomas
Bennett. The two former were from Iowa
and were men of very had character. They
were all tried before justice and commit
tc1 to await action by the grand jury. Tho
Ulcer, with guard Of twelve men, started
to Bonneville to lodge his prisoners in jail.
They stopped for the night when they had
gone about twelve miles, nmd about ..r 9
o'clock ut night mob of sixty or eighty
men disguised rushed into the house, teiz
ed Code and Mcintosh, who were chained
- gethef, placed ropes around their necks,
carried them half mile from the house
and hung them both to the same limb, and
retired without further disturbance. The
whole performance was executed with such
celebrity that the officer and guard had no
time to make defense for the prisoners.
The other prisoners, Bennett and Mrs.
Mapes, wife Of the murdered man, were
both lodged in the Bonneville Jail.

Henry W. Allen.

From the locals of the Crescent, of the
the Sd, we COPY the following:
The tomb of the illustrious Henry W.
Allen, the noblest of our generation in
Louisiana, was absolutely smo:herad With
flowers and immortelles YESTERDAY and the
day before. The grave of this great man,
who loved Louisiana with wofnans deyo-
ton, has been marked out by the ladies of
New Orleans as the subject of their sedu-
lous care. There is not blade If grass
which springs up around the spot that is
allowed to grow the dropping flowers and
the fading festoons are weekly replaced by
fresh ones ; and the true hearted women,
for whom Governor Allen confronted death
on many bloody fields. always on horse
back, in the van of the attack or the rear of
the retreat, they remember the sacrifices,
the bravery and the magnanmity of the
hero. With the women of New Orleans
the memory of Henry W. Allen will ever
be as fresh and fragrant as the flowers
which they strew upon his grave.
allow sleep the brave who sink to rest,
With all their country's wishes bIest?'

The Mad Stone.

There is a general skepticism ~ to the
effect Of the minerals popularity known as
" Mad stones upon the hydrophobia, but
now and then cases are brought to public
notice, where stones claimed to have this
virtue have been used with great benefit by
persons who have been bitten by rabid an
imals. A remarkable instance was related
to US recently by Mr.. Rozier D. Cats, of
Cats Hotel, West End.
A few weeks since rabid dog bit calf
on the farm of Col. Hebert. A little col
ored lad who was feeding the calf with no
suspicion of its malady, by chance intro
duced his finger into the mouth of the ami
NAL, and was bitten. He was soon seized
with severe pains and showed every symr
tom a hydrophobia. While in this situu
ton la was seen by Mr. Cats, who had
heard of many wonderful cures of the dis
ease performed by the application ola stone
which he knew to be in the possession of
a gentlemen living near Paris, Fauquer
county. At the suggestion of Col. H., he
procured a buggy and drove post-haste
with the afflicted boy to the residence OF
MIR. Sterling, the possesser of the stone.
The stone was applied to the wound at
once it stuck fast and so remained for
several hours. During the time it could
only be removed from the wound by the
exertion of considerable strength, and when
touched gave the boy great pain. When
lifted from the wound it was drawn back
as is iron by magnet. After some time,
however. it Icosened and dropped, as of its
own weight, and the boy declared himself
entirely relieved. When the stone was first
applied it Was of light clear. green color
but became turpid aud dark while it re,
manned on the boys hand. By dropping ii
in boiling water, however, its clear color
was renewed leaving green skim on the
surface of the water. The boy was brought
back well.-[Exchange.

by" After the tragedy the farce after
the victory the quarrel for the spoils. The
harmony with which the Radicals marched
to thr contest ended with it. In the course
of few weeks when party thieves fall, out,
we will all be astonished at the corruption
and venality Of the Republican leaders,
Having labortd in1ustriously thus far to
cover up each others rascalties, they will
now 60 to work with view to unearth the
grinning skeletons and hold them up to
public scorn. In the mad rush for office
the motto is, "deyil take the hindmost.'
