An Exciting Scene.

At the opera house in Springfield, Ill,
few nights age, the dangerous feats of
Pau, the Russian athlete, came very
near a fatal termination. He had per-
formed on the flying trspeze, and was to
execute somersault in mid-air, vsulting
from one swinging oar to alight on an
other. He failed to reach the second bar,
and fell some eighteen or twenty feet
upon narrow footboard, and was thence
precipitated into the psrquette, among
the chairs and audience. fhe scene was
exciting in the highest degree strong
men rushed from their seats and left the
house; women shrieked and children
screamed. At first it was feared that his
hurts we're serious, particularly when he
was borne of, stunned and nearly insen-
sible, by two gentlemen. After some mo-
ments of intense anxiety the audience
was assured that his injuries we're not
great, and were presently relieved by his
presence again on the stage. Though
bruised, he was understood to express a
wish to complete the performance as set
down in the bills. This was opposed by
the audience and the Hanlons, and the
other parts of the show went on, while
Pau was taken to his hotel.

Carrying the war into Africa.

Last night about nine o'clock two loyal
Africans, who had doubtless voted great
deal during the day, called at the store Of
Mr.. Rsjao, an Italian, at the corner of
South and Elliott streets, and informed
him that they had come for some more
meat Before the astonished merchant
had time to feel for his derringer, the
spokesman of the party fred brickbat at
him with striking precision and knocked
him down. The other one snatched a
ham of meat, and they both withdrew in
great haste. This 6ne military move
ment was Aanked by Mrs. Rajao,
woman of fine pluck, who emerged from
side door, as the enemy retreated, and
caught one of them by the coat-tail and
held on with all her strength. This tem-
porarily checked the loyal African, but
he passed the ham over to his brother
and then made spring which took off
his coat-tail close up to his arm. With
out stopping TO claim his property he es-
capped. On examining the piece of dis
rupted coat, the pocket was found to con-
tain the following articles, namely: one
brickbat, one piece tobacco and q guam
tity of voting papers; all of which the
owner can have by applying in person.

THE LATE CONVENTIONS Colonel R.
j. Morgan, City Attorney, who was del
egate to the New Orleans Convention has
returned. We learn from him that the
Convention had not the numerical
strength and influence of the Memphis
Convention. 1t was conceded that Ten
nessee was better represented than any
other State, and those who attended both
conventions became more and more con-
WINGED of the weight and influence of the
first one. DR.. c. X. Marshall said in a
speeh at New Orleans that he had been
attending conventions in all parts of the
country for the last thirty years, and that
he believed the Memphis Convention was
the finest one that ever had assembled on
the American continent.

TIE we'll known and enterprising
firm of Sternberg & Co., late of
Front street, will open the first of
June their Western and Virginia To-
bacco Agency, at 3l3. on the corner of
Main and Monroe streets, opposite the
Peabody Hotel. Mr.. Sternberg, who
thoroughly understands the trade and
the wants Of this market, has lately Wis
tied the principal Eastern cities and Sc
lected large assortment of all the choice
brands of cigars, and imported genu-
inc article of the very best Hsvanss. He
also visited Petersburg, Richmond and
Lynchburg, and bought large stock of
the best smoking and chewing tobaccos.
We had the pleasure this morning of
looking through his stock, and do not
hesitate to pronounce it one of the best
and most complete ever brought to this
market. The admirable location, the
courtesy of the house to their patrons,
and the extra inducements they are ena-
bled to offer, will make this one of the
leading establishments of the kind in the
city. After the first of June these gen.
tlemen will be pleased to see their old
as well as new friends in their new and
elegant house. 80

The Convention Fund.

The Finance and Executive Commit
tees held meeting this morning, and de-
cided to recommend that the surplus
money on hand, collected to defray the
expenses of'the Commercial Convention,
which amounts to over $1,000, be appro.
pria.ed to the different orphan asylums
in the city.
The Commercial Convention was held
under the auspices of the Chamber of
Commerce, and the principal committees
were appointed by Col. Cherry, the Presi-
dent. The gentlemen who collected the
money are nearly all of them members Of
the Chamber Of Commerce. 1t seems
that there is difference Of opinion in
regard to the disposal of this twelve hun
dred dollars. 1t is not often that SO much
money is lying around loose, and natu-
rally enough its distribution 10 matter
of some moment. We have thought that
this money should 90 to the Chamber OF
Commerce, an institution which has con-
siderable influence abroad, and does more
good at home than isgenerally conceded.
1t is in debt already, and without some
galvansm stands fair chance to drop to
pieces. Twelve hundred dollars would
galvanze it through the summer first rate,
but as some Of the members are very ten
der toward the orphans, we would take the
liberty of suggesting a compromise:
Give the Chamber half and the orphans
half. 1t should be remembered that the
Chamber has very few parents, and needs
little pap" as well as some of the
orphans. Let US have six hundred dol
lars apiece.

The HeIOcipede.

The New York Sun puts in word for
the velocipede, as against the allegation
of some of the doctors and surgeons
that it is an unhealthy exercise: Like
all other good things, the velocipede is
capable of excessive and injurious use !;
but so is horseback exercise, and so is
beefsteak. After several months con-
slant practice of the velocipede, we find
it very good and wholesome way of
taking necessary physical exercise; and
we do not perceive from it any Injurious
effect whatever"
