Nils, Aurusta n. Dargon.

The Albany Argus of the Goth ult. con.
tains the following complimentary notice
of this estimable lady and accomplished
actress: 20
This superior actress, who as leading
lady at the Academy of Music during the
present season has established high repu-
tation among Albany play goers, was greet
ed by an overlooking house upon the occa-
sion of her benefit last evening. Hel
''Meg Merrilles" was sufficiently wild and
startling to satisfy the lovers of the in
tenssly dramatic, and exhibited such power
and ability as even to surprise some who
have warmly appreciated her both in
Shakesperian and melo-dramatic persona.
nations. The setting of the piece was good
and the entire performance satisfactory.
The company is more than merely respec-
table 1t is deserving of great commenda-
ton. Indeed it is not improbable that
when the theatres and people of to-day
have folded their tents and silently moved
into the past, the excellence of Lawlor's
company will find notable place in the
atrical annals. 1t is no small compliment
to Miss Dargon to say that she sustains
her leading position in this fine company
with grace, and to the entire satisfaction Of
veteran play goers here, who, having taken
the guage Of dramatic talent for the last
thirty years, constitute a class not easily
gratifed, except by true merit.

Marble works.

1t is a matter of some interest to visit
the various marble works of the city and
examine how the rough, unhewn stone
from the quarry is chiseled and fashioned
as with The skill of Phidias or Angelo. We
frequently see at the base of, and around
monuments, cut and finished with the most
elaborate and with the most cunning
skill, persons admiring the designs and the
execution that leave in beauty and har-
mony of proportion the sculptured marble,
with its wilderness and polish over the
graves of loved ones. The fronts and cor
nices of palatial mansions attract the eye
in the same way. To whom are we in
debted for these mementoes of the dead,
these living monuments of the present
The answer is, the marble works OF the
city
Few places afford more instruction and
interest than 90 the steam marble works OF
Messrs Swan q Brown, on North Sum-
mer street; the works of Shirley & Shane,
on South College street, and the works on
Church street. At each of these establish
ments we find the marble of Carrara and
the unhewn blocks Of Vermont fashioned
into forms of Apollo and the Florentine
Venus. 1t is interesting to view the pro
cess, and gratifying to note the progress in
this branch Of Art and Industry in oul
midst ti.e rii.

particulars of the stevenson affair

We learn from Mr.. House, the gentle
manly conductor on the Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad, the particulars of
the disturbances at Stevenson, Ala, which
which have been, we are persuaded, con-
siderably exaggerated by the tireless tongue
of r1mor and report. The facts are these.
A negro desperate known as Miles Pryor,
had for some time been going about the
country in that vicinity firing into peoples
houses and as he called it ''raising hi
generally" He had made some disturb
ance among the negroes by his cantank-
erous doings, and the citizens arrested him
and placed him in custody. He was placed
in house at Stevenson and under guard.
At near IL o'clock Monday night, twenty.
five or thirty men disguised as ''Ku-Klux,
went on horseback to Stevenson, and an
nounced their intention of dealing out
summary punishment upon Miles. They
went to the house where be was. The
negro burst the door open, leaped the guard,
made his way through ''Ku-Klux" and
effected his escape. When the detail Of
soldiers arrived the 'Ku-klux" were still
at Stevenson and no collision between
them occurred, both apparently agreeing
that if miles" were not hung he should
have been. Six soldiers were still al
Stevenson yesterday, and 'peace reigned
| in Warsaw"
