Madame Levert, accompanied by her
daughter, arrived at the Overton a day
or two since on their way to the Hot
Springs, Arkansas. Madame Levert is
well known Southern authoress and
contributor to American literature. Her
Souvenirs of Travels" written before

her in the foremost rank of American
writers.

Foreigners Outraged in Mexico.

Much excitement prevails in the district
of Tehuantepec, in consequence Of con-
spiracies against the lives and properties
of foreigners. Many have fled with their
families, in order to save their lives, leav-
ing their property behind. Posters were
affixed to the houses of foreigners threaten
ing the inmates with assassination. Let
ters from persons present confirm the state
ments. One says, eve must abandon the
Isthmus to God and the Mexicans." An
other says, "The foreigners are flying for
their lives"
Among the principal r ,rsons threatened
arc Mr.. Wolf, the Unit States consul !;
Mr.. Du Bois, citizen of the United
States Mr.. De Gives, a Frenchman. and
two priests, charged with appropriating
the statue of Saint Vincent, their patron
Saint, and saying that the troops carried
off the Saint. The course of the Victoria,
a newspaper published in Oaxaca, has been
Influential in bringing about this state of
things. Minister Nelson IS investigating
this and other matters, and addressing Mr..
Fish on the subject.
The journals in opposition to Juarez are
severe in their structures on the Secretary
of Legation Of the Unit ID States. They
charge him with interfering in the cleo

favors the reelection of Juarez, and enter
tains designs on Mexican territory. His
friends, however, vindicate him, and deny
any interference by him whatever.

The Pythian Benefit. Owing to the
were unable to o..ce the performances at the
theatre the night before, when our Temple of
the MUSES. was aensely crowded with the wealth,
beauty and intelligence of our city. The oc-
casion which called so many of our people
together, was that of grand concert rendered
the noble Order of Knigh41 of Pythics by
that generous and whole-souled company Of
artis Berger Family of Swiss Bell
Ringers. The performance WIS in every par
ticular delightful, the programme well selected,
and everything passed off most plee sanity.
Miss Anna Berger's cornet solo, and her
"character songs" were excee dinghy charm
ing Lavake's "Don't put your foot on man
when he Is down." was sung with good deal
of tsste; Fred Berger's harp solo and his
other musical executions were much and deser-
vedly appreciated; the ballad by Miss Stan
ley, and the eccentric facial deineations of
Sol Smith Russell deserve special mention.
The "staff bell-solo." was most gracefully
executed by Miss Henrietta Berger. The
trombone solo by Miss Louise Berger was
encored and gave general satisfaction.
Last, but not least, was the "Knights of
Pythias' grand march, which brought down
the house with rounds of applause. This
march was composed by the leader of the
band, Prof. Gardner, and will soon be put
lished for the benefit of the Order in this
city. In all, the entertainment was a splendid
musical treat.
The knights of Pythias of this city will long
remember the generosity of the Berger Family,
and they recommend them to the *. P.'s
throughout the world.

UNIVERSAL AMNEsTY.-In the House of
Representatives, on Tuesday last, during
the debate on the bill to remove all polili-
cal disabilities, Mr.. Platt said:
In voting for the removal of political disa-
b'lities he was carrying out the instructions of
the Republican party and the platform on
which he was nominated for Congress, and
carrying out not only the feelings of the white
men, but of almost every colored man in his
district. He would say to the gentleman from
South Carolira (Mr. Elliott) that if he would
adopt the same platform for his wing of the
party that had been adopted in Virginia, he
would find it to be safe policy. Itwes too
late now to punish men for what they did
during the rebellion. If Congress intended to
punish these men it should have been done at
the close Of the war. The true policy is to
extend to all the South the rights of citizen
ship, If it should take as large force as it did
to put down the rebellion. He should vote for
such ssure as may be ce,sary for the
protection of persons and property in the
South. In conclusion, Mr.. Platt said that in
his vote he wanted to give tranquility and
peace to the South, and not to keep up strife

LAwNs.-We are sadly deficient in fine
lawns in Virginia, yet there are no
defects of soil or climate to prevent their
perfect development here. No object is
more delightful and refreshing to the eye
than the fresh green of well-kept lawn.
To obtain it, is one of the first efforts Of
landscape gardener, and requires no small
degree of care and patience, both to secure
and protect the growth. The ground must
be deeply stirred so that the grass roots can
strike deep ard secure the plants from
dying. The surface must be finely culti-
vated and well leveled, to secure evenness
for moving and even distribution of the
seed. A top dressing Of fine stable manure
or super-phosphate is necessary If the land
is poor. Then SOW either mixed lawn
grasses, to wit: white clover, blue grass,
red top and timothy, each one peek the
acre, or one busbel of red top alone.
Brush over thoroughly, and roll with a
heavy roller.
As soon as the grass is high enough to
be clipped with the lawn mower, cut it
over and follow it up every few weeks,
never letting it bloom or go to seed. Do
this, and you, will have lawn that will
delight you and II a perennial source OF
admiration. Of course nothing should ever
be permitted to pasture upon lawn, if
you would preserve its beauty. If well
kept it will last hundred years. Now is
the time for sowing gress for lawns; it
will soon be too late.

WHY NOTs

The Virginia Steamship company was
established by the people of Virginia
(more especially by the merchants of
Richmond) to relieve their trade of the
impositions of the Old Dominion Steam
ship company. The fact is, that freight
coming to Virginia by that line, has been
charged from one to four hundred per
cent more than is paid to the ports OF
Newbern, Wilmington, Savannah, or
Charleston; and now, when the people
put forth their hands to relieve the bur-
then, they are met by General Malone,
who, it seems, is determined to crush all
opposition to his schemes. Is there any
reason why the Legislature cannot amend
the charter of the A., M. and 0. R. R.,
compelling that line to give equal facilities
to any steamship line ?
