In the Justices Court of j. S. Mayhugh,
this week, the following business was trans
acted:
Mike Mccall. while aboring under the in
,Auence of spirits, became pugilistic and was
arrested for disturbing the peace, by officer
Banks. He appeared in court and paid n fine
of costs, to avoid further trouble.
Mary Ann McGreary. an old offender, was
arrested by officer Banks for disturbing the
peace. She appeared before Justice Mayhugh
and expressed herself anxious to 10 to the nice,
new and comfortable quarters furnished by
the county; consequently she WIS sent up for
sixty days, where she will have fine oppor-
tunity of getting the essence of whisky ont of
her anatomy, and once more appearing like n
decent woman.
James Thompson's cabin was despoied of
some material known rs "Green Terry Rep"
and having n strong suspicion, based on cir
cumstances, that one of the inmates of the
cabin, named Hensler. had abstmcted the same

by the sobriquet of French joe" who trips
the light fantastic toe ut the Y. Z. Dance
house, he went before Justice Mayhugh and
got ont search-warrant Tho warrant was
placed in the hands of officer Banks, who
found a portion of the stuff in the possession
Of n dress-maker, with whom il had been left
TO be made up into dress. Thompson was
40 well satisfied, by the restoration of the por-
ton, that he would not make IA charge of petit
larceny against the party.

This was mysfrst interview with
EIgenia Cornille. [ had seen her for
months, the leader of our gaycst and
most fashionable society. In her
splendid mansion she dispensed the
most profusc and elegant hospitality.
A Spanish lady--a widow she had
represented hcrself-and had been a
resident here almost year. No one
ever suspected her of being aught
than what she seemed, until ono day
| was ordered to arrest her as mur.
deress.
1t was now alleged, said Mr.. r.,
that this young beauty was no other
than the woman who had poisoned her
husband in Havana, and fled with all
his wealth. An immense reward was
G8sred for her apprehension, and the
circumstances that had come to our
knowledge pointed her out beyond all
doubt as tho person we were in search
of. Yet the person who recognized
her the evening before at the theatre
advised us to becareful lest she should
escape us. laughed at the idea.
Mr.. and myself were surely sufi-
cicnt to arrest lady. We were old
enough in the ways Of cunning to de.
feat any such attempt. When the
lady left me stepped to the window,
and said to Mr.. L.. who was waiting

Berlin, the Garden City of Germany.

A correspondent at Berlin, Prussia,
writes to Chicago paper as follows:
do not think IN any way exagger.
ate when I state that Berlin has at least
5000 public gardens, in addition to
which nearly everv mannfactory and
private house has also its own little Rar.
den spots, tastefully arranged with al.
coves, bowers and places Of retirement

and other choice flowers, filing the air
with perfume, aud making the heart
glad by its surroundings.E. The public
gardens are laid out in the most tasteful
manner, and in the evening when lit up
BY the various colored gas lights, the
reflection Of these lights upon the per-
sons reminds one of such fairy scenes as
we witness in the BLACK Crook" and
white Fawn."
Oae of these gardens, and perhaps
the most magnificent one, ,s Kroll's,

to give on paper. The space It covers
is about 20 acres, laid out in most
tasteful manuer. with beautiful wido
walks, shaded by orange trees and rare
exotics, adjoining beds of native flow.
ers, in which are placed wondrous foun.
t.ins and finely executed staluary. In
the evening this immense garden is illu-
minated by thousands Of gas lights,
with various colored globes and prisms,
rejecting the colors of the rainbow,
making night more brilliant than day.
Attached to this garden is large thea
ire. IN which, every afternoon, some
fine opera is given. That over, the
entire band OF about 60 performers pro-
cred TO the garden, and there give n
wonderfully fine concert, which lasts
from 8 to 10 o'clock in the evening,
while the visitors, who generally mum.
from 600 to 5000, seat themselves
around the tables with their families
and friends, to listen to this enchanting
music and take their evening meal
Here you find families the most respec-
table OF the city; and in this vast as.
sembly not one word or act do you hear
or see in any way improper; and when
you witness such scenes, you cannot help
but feel that the people mere realty know
how to, and do, enjoy life much better
than we in America; and, when asked by
my German friend, If we had such gar.
drns and amusements, ! fcIt sad to
think that they du NOT exist amongst

HOW CARPEr-BAG POSTMASTER
REsEN-s AN ArrRoNT.--The follow
ing article appeared in the Savannah
Ne,rs Of Tuesday, and will show what
measures carpet-bagger takes to re-
venge an attack made on his official
misconduct by newspaper:
Oar article Of Saturday complAiu-
ing of the gross neglect and stupidity
of the carpet baggers in charge Of
the Savannah Postoilice, seems to have
terribly stirred up the buzzArd roost
under tho Custom House.
Last evening, when our colored
mailman applied at the Office for our
exchanges by the Western mail, cold
Junk" Teely, who is chief of the cs
! tablishment in the absence of the
boody, who, for the past has been re-
creating at tho North, informed him
him that he would deliver no more
mails to the Morning News until he
stopped lying about him. GA recoiv-
ing this message, one Of our counting
room clerks wont to the Postoflice to
enquire the cause of the non delivery
of our papers, when Seely reiterated
his refusal to deliver over the exchang-
es of the Morning Ster.
Thusit will be seen that this mis-
cradle creature, who has been thrust
into position that he is utterly unfit to
fill, as Radical scourge upon the COM
munity, has had the audacity to use
the public Office which he disgraces to
resent his personal affronts.
! In our notice of the Irregular and
unsatisfactory manner in which the
pes al service is administered in the
Savannah postoflice, We uttered moth.
ing but truths which we can prove.
: II our remarks were notyory eompli-
. mentury to the miserable noodle who,
under Radical dispensation, fills the
position Of deputy, still he has no
legal or moral right to deprive ua Of
tho use of our mails. The attempt
thus to prostitute the postal service to
partisan or personal ends, is an out
rage which would not be tolerated by
the most despotic Government in ex-
istance, and will not, we feel conf
dent, be sanctioned by the Postmaster
General. Is We shall test this matter
and shall endeavor to convince the
miserable specimen of galvanized hu-
manity who assumes to prostitute the
Government service to crafty his per.
sonal resentments that he has over.
stepped the bounds of prudence.
Not content with this racpiug, ad-
ministered through his paper, CUR 81
vanhah exchanges state that on last
Tuesday the proprietors of the Ne,os
called on the rarpet-bag official and
gave him y sound thrashing. Ifsthe
Postmaster-G General can be prevailed
upon to do his duty, it is to be hoped
that Seely will not long disgrace the
