A QUEER YIsrToR.-Wednesday evening, a
colored man OF about thirty years OF age, named
Prince Cages, went to the house Of agentleman
reading up theroad, and demanded his daughter
and q small fortune in personal property which,
along with her, he said, had been abducted, and
was now concealed on the premises. The gen.
tleman demonstrated and denied all knowledge
OF the matter. This by no means satisfied Prince,
who proceeded to attack the castle in order to
enforce his demands. This necessitated the call.

was captured, AMI lodged in the Guardhouse

before the Mayor,is was plain that the poor man
was demented, and he was forthwith sent over
to the city registrar for treatment.

President Grant Back Again.
From the st. Louis Republican

WASHINGTON, October THE Presiien,
resumed his official functions in the execu.
tive Office at ten o'clock this morning. His
return to the city having been duly pub
lished, large number of visitors, with 4
variety Of purposes, were on hand for audi
ence and interviews, and before the hour Of
noon he had been interviewed, congratulate
ed and petitiOned extensively. A number
of English lords and smaller dignitaries,
who have been attending the session Of the
Episcopal church convention in Baltimore,
paid their respects and were received by
his excellency with becoming silence. Two
United States Senators from the South were
also ON hand and were accorded interviews,
About eleven o'clock Secretary Relknap
came over from the war Office and laid be-
fore the President the papers in the Hodge
defalcation case, which were read over by
Grant.and approved. From this it is Judged
there will be but very little additional de-
lay in the official promulgation Of the SEN
tence in this case, whatever that may be.
After being relieved Of his visitors he
buckled himself down to the work Of sue-
pending a number of Office holders. Sew
eral postmasters, who had laid themselves
open to attacks of polititians in authority,
were made to walk the plank with very
little delay, and others appointed in their
places. -

an entire new programme. The Hart, Ry-

lighted audiences. .ss.si ssisEf5S.
Exquisite vocal and instrumental music;
good dancing, drollery and jokes, dry and
0therw Use, act like . charm. There is NO
use to talk about drawing. That don't ox-
press it. There is no power here 1T present
that can draw the people away from the
Academy. johnny uart, Add Ryman and
Master Barney have them spell-bound, from
all appearances, for the whole Of this week;
and it can be safely predicted they will
have . jollv good spell Of it. Tft.
II things do not add up well at the end Of
tie week, it will not be Ryman's fault, for
he is some a. SQueesepenny, and consider
ably more as zscidd2e zirifters Detti-
Jogging lawyer. But Add can't beat johnny
Hart's A0rt0c Mei1osc, . country squire.
That is just about the .sweepinest'' pieca Of
acting that has appeared among the min
strels. The man that can see Johnny Harris
MarlOr Mellow and not laugh .is infinitely
worse than the man who has no music in
his soul. r.-E...
Aud then there is "Barney's character
changes" in which comes the champion
jig, with one person equal to two in the
great performance on the light fantastic
toe.
But what's the use tryingl It is impossi-
BILE to half describe the Hart, Ryman and
Barney's minstrels. We can only say to
the public, 60 and see for yourselves.
