One Bruiser Assassfnates Another In
Washington.

The Washington Star of last evening
contains the following account of brutal
murder which occurred in that city on
Wednesday evening:
on the north side of E street, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets in con-
sequence of the fatal shooting of Joseph
James, better known as 'Sonny" James,
{. well-known sporting man, by the notori-
ous Horatio Tor "Rache") Bolster, whose
name is only too familiar to all connected
with the police and criminal courts. 1t
appears that last evening between and 0
o'clock, the two men had a fight in which
James came off best, as Bolster ives badly
beated, and his nose broken. He was after
wards seen in restaurant on the south
side of the Avenue, near Thirteenth street,
where he entered with companion, wip-
Ing blood from his face.
He called for drinks, and when he re-
moved the handkerchief to put the glass
to his lips, the bar keeper noticed that his
nose was very much out of shape. Bolster
is said after receiving the dru5bing to have
threatened to take James life at sight.
About 10 o'clock Bolster passed down E,
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets,
where he met James iB company with
Green and Charley Duering, in front of
Schnelps restaurant. Bolster spoke to James
saying, 'Is that you Sonny?' James said,
Eyes this is me-" Bolster then went back
to the Alley near Schnell's restaurant, and
shortly appeared with musket in his
hand, which he levelled at James and i'm
medately fired. The charge--a load Of
buckshot- entered the left groin of James
who fell in the dc orway of house No. 1S4a
E street, and Bolster walked away towards
the avenue.
A crowd soon gathered. and Officer
Perry, who was standing at the corner ol
Thirteenth street, at once followed Bolster
arrested him and took him to the centra
guardhouse, where he was locked up, The
wounded man James was taken into DIR
J. l.. Kidwell's drug store, and DR.. Gar.
net was sent for. He soon arrived, and
examining the wounds, pronounced then
fatal. James was at once removed tC
his house, No. S06, Thirteenth streei
and Mr.. McDevitt went for Rev
Father Walter to give him the last consola
ton of the church. Bolster gave nC
explanation of the murder, and expressed
no regret at the act either when taken int,
custody or at the guardhoase. When Mr.
McDeyitt returned with Father Walter
James was unconscious, and soon altcl
died, surrounded by his friends.

THEIRS REPUBMcAN.--A Bordeaux
correspondent of the London Daily Neaos
narrates a conversation with Theirs at
Gambetta's Office. Regarding the surrcn-
der of Paris, he expressed his grief and
indignation in no measured language. He
said he was "disgusted" with Trochu, and
that Jules Favre had covered himself with
everlasting disgrace; he, after his proud
speech, "not an inch of our territory, nor
stone of our fortressss," should have cut
off his right hand rather than sign the
horrible treaty. He attributed the fall of
Paris to culpablc incapacity and careless
ness on the part of Trochu and most of
the members of the provisional govern
ment. There had been shocking and
improvident waste of provisions early 10
the siege.
On this occasional memorable occG lion
Il heard from NJ. THEIRS own lips con-
firmation of what stated the other day,
that he, when member of the committee
of National Defence, had vainly urged and
entreaied Trochu, before Paris was in
vested, to occupy and fortify st. Germain,
and those very height toward CSlle St.
Cloud which were Intellectually attempted
to be taken during the feeble sortie of the
10Th. The member of the administration

"I have watched your literary aud political
career for forty years, and the saying Of
yours which / most admire is that of 1849 ::
"'rhe Republic is the government which
divides us the least" Allow me to ask
whether under existing circumstances, yoa
are willing to repeat that dictum.
Without a moments hesitation M. Theirs
vehemently replied ~ do am not now
an Orleanist go in frankly for the Re-
public, and it would have been better for
you if your Government had been more
decidedly Republican from the beginning.
A great many Orleanists have b. IN trafick-
ing with Prussia. | am ashamed of them
and repudiate them" This important ex.
preston of M. Theirs opinion was deliv-
cred aloud in the presence of several per-
sons, and, therefore, l can, without any
breach Of confidence, repeat it. | was
surprised to hear M. Thiers speak as he
did, for up to to-day l mad thought him

of Orleanist intrigues.

A CHILD BURNED TO DEATH. On
Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Hoffman, living
at No. % Fall street, left her little girl,
about four years of age, in the kitchen
while she went to visit neighbor. On
the return of the mother, after short alb
sence, she found the child's clothing in
flames, and her screams with those of the
child, attracted the attention of police Of
iicer Sinsky and several citizens, who ran
into the house and with blanket smoth-
cred the fire. The child's arms, face and
limbs were horribly burned, and after lin
gerng several hours the little sufferer ex-
pired. Coroner Spicer, after examining
into the particulars of the case, declined
holding an inquest, as it was purely acci-
dental, the childs clothing having ignited
while she was kindling fire 10 the stove.

The danger of wearing false hair is
illustrated in a new and forcible way by
the recent experience of Massachusetts
dame. Fancying that her natural charms
required artificial enhancement, she inno-
Gently purchased one of those mysterious
and tail-like appendages for the female
head known, we believe, by the technical
name of "switches." 1t was "switch"
equally beautiful and becoming, and for a
brief space all was hair and happiness.
But presently Madam began to feel an un-
pleasant sensation about the throat every
time she assumed the foreign locks--in
point of fact. choke. She would, in her
own striking and piscatorial language,
"get as red as a boiled lobster, and gasp
like porpus," dreadful symptoms which
disappeared as soon as the 'switch' was
removed.
What was this mystery no mortal could
explain, SO Madam being true Boston
woman, called "me iium" and the "me-
dunn" called spirit from the vastly dee p.
Then did this spirit unfold Q long and ex-
cursive tale which, condensed, was to the
effect that "she was the woman from
whose head the hair had been cut, just af-
ter she was--huugi"--and that choke
would always attend the wearing of that
particular switch. Furthermore, this iu-
structive spirit observed that all false hair
retained more or less of the personality Of
its original owner, and that this was the
cause of SO much insanity and many Grim
inal idiosyncracies in woman. Which Is an
explanation rather more startling then lu-
cid. Jes so, Judge.

And HIS Smile, It was Child-lilke and
Bland,

BI0nds
Those who were present in the Senate
chamber on Tuesday evening last, could
not fail to observe the down-cast express
sions and woe-begone features of those
gentlemen who have so distinguished them
selves by their services in behalf of the
development of the material interests of
the good old Commonwealth, as the vote
was announced which told the temporary
defeat of that grand measure of enterprise,
the Washington and Richmond railroad
bill.
The handsome majority which bad be
accorded the bill in the House, gave its
friends the highest encouragement of its
certain and spc ady adoption by the Senate,
and it was, therefore, with an intensely
aggravated feeling of gonencss" that
they beheld their idol dashed to. pieces
upon the floor of that august body. 1t is
our nature to sympathize with the dis
tre9sed on all occasions, and how much
more keenly our feelings on this occasion
were will be understood when it is remem-
bered that we have been from the first the
earnest and untiring advocates of the bill.
We looked around us, and beheld in that
assemblage of anxious spectators many
expressions Of sorrow and regret at the
result of the vote on the bill--13 to 21 !!
1t was q stunnerl We tried to utter our
surprise that the Senate of Virginia should
have rendered such an incomprehensible
verdict, but we felt such a choking sensa-
tion as to render articulation painful, and
we repaired to our sanctum the saddest OF
men.
Seated in our easy chair, we could not
restrain our thoughts from wandering back
to that scene where we had witnessed the
defeat OF such fond hopes, and in our
minds eye we beheld not alone the gloomy
aspect of our companions in arms. The
exultant faces of our fees were there also,
and as we turned from one to another, and
beheld their "smies that were childlike
and bland" we felt very much in the
mood that "Bill Nye," is represented to
have teen when he was similarly
"euchered," and we only lacked the op-
portunity to Ego for" those ''Heothen
Chinee."
For forty ight hours we chewed the Bit
ter cud Of disappointment, and would not
be comforted. The blow which had been
dealt us in the last round was of such ter
rife character that we were disposed to
throw up the sponge, and give to our op-
ponents the fruits of the hard-fought con-
test. But in the hour of our deepest despon-
dency voice of encouragement came to us
from the Southwest, and re-buckling on
our armor we renewed the fight with the
results which arc already known. And
now, mark the change Where but yester-
day were smiles and mutual congratula-
tions, to-day we find the fierce aspect and
bitter invective while the brows Of that
lately overthrown and discomftted band
of spectators were wreathed with the
laurals Of victory,
"And their smiles they are
Childlike and bland r.

A Good Suggestion. We, this morning,
received note from one of our leading mer-
