POLICE lTEMs.-Edward Sheppard was
arrested yesterday evening on the charge of
stealing scrap iron from the Old Dominion
Iron Works. The practice of stealing this
species of property from our manufacturing
establishments is quite common, and as It
seems to be growing in favor with round
ers, must be remunerative. Sheppard was
found guilty this morning and committed
to jail for fifteen days.
Eddie Eddleton was caught stealing
chickens yesterday, and was handed over to
policeman r. N. Thomas, who placed the
lad in the station house, and Justice White
this morning, sent him to jail for sixty
days.
James Taylor, for stealing boards belong
ing to the tense of Jacob Poe, was this
morning sent to Jail for ten days.
Sarah Lawrence, charged with completely
IN stealing velvet robe valued at 5000, be-
longing to Mrs. S. C. Deane, was before
Justice White this marnng. Sarah had
able counsel in the person of Ex-Governor
Henry A. Wise. But two witnesses were
examined. The evidence seemed to be
insufficient to implicate Sarah, and she was,
on motion Of her counsel, discharged,

BROAD STREET.-We learn that the
Finance Committee of the Council still
have under consideration the question re-
terred to them in regard to Broad street.
and in all probability wilt not submit re-
port to the Council this afternoon.
The tardiness of the committee in
bringing this question to a settle
ment IS greatly to be regretted. Our be-
lief is that the members of the committee.
VINO are gentlemen of the highest respecta-
bllity and intelligence, are so engrossed
With their private affairs that they have
very little time to consider municipal busi-
ness, however important it may be. This
Broad-street question could, and should
have been disposed of long ago. The uti-
mafm@ of the railroad company could
have been easily ascertained, and then
the committee could have presented
brief report for or against its acceptance.
This is all we have contended for.
The people of Richmond-the "soyer-
egns" ARE impatient for report. They
are naturally weary of dilly-dallying with
question so vitality eftecting the interests of
the community. We hope, therefore, that
either an adverse or favorable report will
be presented at an earl rly day. Alter it is
If the opportunity is given, the
voters will make known their wishes to the
Council, and then we will see what we will
see. The members of the Finance Com
nrittee are AIessrs. w. Il. lsaacs, A. Y.
Stokes, Joseph r. Anderson, NJ. Straus
and John A. Sloan.
The voice of the people is all powerful,
and we again urge them to hold a mass
meeting and demand that action be taken
IN this matter, or get out of the way and
let others Go what they are 50 stubborn
about.

GRAND BAL MAsQUE.-The pro-
gramme for the grand masquerade ball to
he given at the Richmond Theatre on the
evening Of the 29th inst, by the Gesang-
verein Virginia, appears in our paper this
evening. This ball has been heretofore
alluded to by US. The arrangements for it
have long occupied the attention of the
singing society, and from the elaborate
nature of the preparations, and the great
expense incurred, we are convinced that it
will be at once the most unique and won
derlul entertainment ever witnessed in our
city. Being wholly under the control of
home society, and for its own benefit, the
curiosity as well as the support of our citi-
zens will be excited in its behalf, and we
look for most interesting and amusing de-
monstration, and also for large turnout
of our people on the occasion. We refer
the reader to the advertisement for further
particulars. ....

A BEAUTY.-The annual catalogue of
Briggs y Brother, Rochester, New York is
q q, beautiful specimen of topographic art
10 call 1t catalogue seems misnomer,
however, as the colored plates, tinted pa
per, and other elegant points of the work
are not implied by the term. Yet it is sym
ply catalogue of the seeds and plants
grown and imported by Messrs. Briggs &
Brother. 1t contains upwards of four hun
dred separate cuts, and six beautiful col
ored plates , and is altogether one of the
richest publications of the kind we have
ever seen. The publishers are experienced
florist and horticulturists, and will send
the catalogue to any address on receipt of
twenty-five cents.

DEATH OF JACQUELIN P. TAYLOR
Jacquelln P. Taylor, an old citizen of Rich
mond and native of Virginia, died at his
residence in this city yesterday morning,
which was also his seventy-ffth birthday.
Mr.. Taylor was born in Orange county.
His father, Robert Taylor, was at one
tine, we believe, a member of Congress.
He came to Richmond at an early day, and
subsequently became an extensive importer
and dealer in dry goods. He lived pure
and upright life, and was charitable and
Christian-like in all his intercourse with
men. lie retired from active participation
in business about twenty years ago, turn
ing over his establishment to younger fam
lily relatives. Mr.. Taylor leaves a childless
widow and very large circle Of friends to
mourn his death.

THE "OLD For want of
space we are compelled to omit a most
omplimentary notice of the "Old Relia-
BILE" theatre company, and especially OF
Miss Helen d. Este, which appeared in the
Petersburg Lader of this morning. We
cannot consent to recommend any
company upon our own responsibility
until we see for ourselves, but we can say,
that wherever in Virginia this company
have performed, the most fattering tes-
timonials have been rendered them by the
press.
The many admirers ofMiss D. Este, who
is said to be as charming in person as she
is in the characters she assumes, presented
her, in Petersburg, with several testimonials
of their appreciation of her talent and beau
ty, on the occasion of her departure from
that place. The youth of Richmond are
not as susceptible as Petersburg, but we
are confident they will be made to yield to
tbe'superior charms of this magnificent
lady.

dict for them such crowd as has not at
tended a similar entertainment in this CITY

VIRTUE Boston rs.
RichmOnG-There's Mai,Ya SLIP Between
the Cup and the Lp.-A gay and dashing
young Democrat of Richmond, left WASH
ington several days ago for his home, by
the Acquia Creek route, and while on the
boat, learned that very handsome Yam
kee girl, just from Boston, had lost her
baggage, in which she had, unfortunately,
left her pocket-book. She was without
money enough to get to Richmond, and
had so informed one of the servants on the
boat. The servant had spoken of her situa-
ton to several parties, among whom was
our gay Lothario, who soon offered his SER
vices to the Boston beauty, and agreed to
furnish her with the amount necessary to
pay her way to this point. She accept
his generosity, and when the cars left the
boat our young friend seated himself be-
side his fair charge. On the way he kind
ly offered to conduct her to a first-class
hotel and to see that she was provided with
every comfort until the arrival of her bag
gage. .. -
Reaching the city about O'Clock A. NJ.
and when inquisitiye eyes were closed in
sleep, Mr.. ordered hack and drove
the young beauty to one of our fashionable
boardlng-houses -. Stopping the car
rage he alighted, and, at the suggestion of
the girl, who fearing exposure, should any
delay occur in passing from the carriage to
the house, settled with the hackman.
(This was where the Boston girl exhibited
her shrewdness, for had the hackman not
been paid, he would not have moved until
paid for his services.) While the young
gentleman was arranging for the comfort Of
the prize he had just found, she ordered
the driver to move off. lie obeyed and
drove the young lady to where she origi-
nally intended to stop. She has not been
seen since, and the gay and festive youth
is deploring the expenditure of several dol
lars without accomplishing his devilish
designs upon virtuous and innocent young
woman. He has sought her in vain, and is
satisfied that Yankee shrewdness got the
best of him that time. We have no doubt
the lady, whose honor was so precious to
her, will cheerfully return the amount ad-
vanced, on learning the address of her gal
liant escort. -
Our friend lacked the brains of Fisk,
but was his equal in some other respects.
