ADJUSTMENTS.

MEnPHIs TnRATER-Last evening Miss
Ada Gray appeared as " Mercy Mer-
rick in the New MAgdAlen before a
large and fashionable audience. The
play was finely presented, and was well
received. The New MAgdAlen does not
convey the best moral in the world Il
belongs to a modern school which gives
the utmost latitude TO sinners under the
theory Of fashionable repentance. The
play is sensational, attractive, and &C.
quires all its effectiveness from the
artists who take the leading roles OF
Mercy Merrick = and Julian Grey.
At the matinee to-day the much
admired comedy entitled FrOu-Frou will
be the attraction. The cast is good

ALetter from Gambia,

A correspondent in Paris writes to
the Pail Mall Gazette: NJ. Courbet,
the painter, whose name is so we'll
known in connection with the pulling
down of the VendOme Column, has Just
written a very curious. letter to the Ga.
zette de Lausanne. Among other state
ments, he says that while Minister Of
Fine Arts under the Commune, NJ.
Bartbelemy St. Hilaire wrote to me to
try and save the works Of art contained
in the house of the President Of the
Republic, who himself had formerly
asked me to value his collection. read
the letter from NJ. Barthelemy to the
Commune, and wishing to oppose a bru-
tai measure, | estimated the collection
at l,500,000 francs. NJ. Barthelemy St.
Hilaire told me in his letter that
NJ. Theirs intended to leave his
art treasures to the Museum Of the
Louvre after his death. In acting
thus did my duty as President, and
consequently as protector -ot art. /
gained my cause, and was delegated by
two other members Of the Commune to
ssuperintend the preservation Of the OBJ
!ects IN question, as also Of the iurni-
turei the library, etc. The royalist
papers have pounced upon the above let
yer with great glee, as showing why
Couroet was so leniently dealt with as a
member OF the Commune. | expected
to see the organ of the ex.President

TENDED statements, as fictitious, out the

IT is conjectured that the name OF
Attorney General Williams will be with
drawn when Congress reassembles, and
the name of Edward Pierrepont, of New

would not satisfy any one but the bene-

The details of the massacre at the
town of Colfax, Louisiana, not only con-
firms the first reports, but even increase
the number of victims. More than a
hundred persons were either shot in cold
blood in trying to escape from the burn
ing courthouse, or were roasted in it,
and the shameless and abandoned man
ner with which some Of the indepen-
dent press practically defend it by de-
flaming the administration, both state
and national, in their efforts to suppress
such anarchy, is only equalled by the
atrocity itself The Colfax massacre
will rank up with Fort Pillow or the
Modocs, and the apologies for it may
take rank with the most blooming cop
perheads of the rebellion. Another such
attack ought to subject the state to an
Immediate proclamation of martial law
under which we might expect better gov.
eminent and better order than has for
some time prevailed in that unhappy

More about the Fitz Boy.

HE ATTEMPTS ANOTHER MURDER.
Wilfred Fitz, the Lowell (Mass.) SOM
nambulist, who is now in the Exeter Jail
awaiting examination for murderous
assault on the boy Emerson at Gambia, a
few days since, made another frighttul
assault, Sunday night, April 10th. He
was put in large cell, that night, with
Theodore Frost, Alexis Yeaton and John
Brown. Late at night Frost was awak-
ened by a sharp cut across the upper lip,
and found the Fitz boy up and dressed,
with razor in his hand belonging to Frost.
At the same time he seized Yeaton and
attempted to cut his throat, but, after a
severe struggle, was disarmed and awak-
ened. Frost and Yeaton were wounded,
and it seems very fortunate that all we're
not murdered. The boy was much af-
fected on learning what he had done,
and is now watched, awake or asleep.

REcKLEssNEss ON OCEAN STEAMERS.
As for the lookout on board the Allan
tic, it may have been sleepy, without
differing much from that maintained on
some other Ship. There is story of a
passenger crossing on one of the steam
ers of well-known line, whose distrust
was SO great that he spent every night on
deck, keeping watch forward. During
the days he slept. One night there came
a shout from the bows, where this anna.
teur Stood" Rock aheadp' The ships
lookout had gone to sleep. The watch
on deck were asleep. The officer on the
bridge was asleep. They woke up with
the shout, and when they had got the
helm hard up, and the huge ship swung
sullenly off her course, the startled pas
sengers, who thronged up on deck, saw
the black cliffs of Cape Race glooming
down on them within a biscuits toss
My authority for that story is one of the
engineers Of the ship in which the in 81.

BALTIMORE, April 26.-Andrew j..
Grow, we'll known in Baltimore sport
ing circles, was instantly killed, this
morning, in Henry Crey's restaurant, on
East Madison St., by the accidental DIS
charge of gun in the hands OF John
Bell, the bartender. Bell pointed his
gun at Crow, "supposing 1t was not
loaded" The old story.
A law was passed last fall by the leg
islature of this state, making such point
ing of firearms criminal offence and
every one inclined to this kind of" fun,
would do we'll to bear this in mind. Du-
ring the past two years there has been at
least four such cases as the above in this
State, one in this county, two in Rutland
and one in Franklin county. The hrst
law on this subject that we are aware Oh,
was passed by the legislature of Mlchl-
gan in 1869, and it was stated last year
that that class of accidents in that State
had decreased, and it was from that stat
ute that the Vermont bill was drafted.
We observe that similar bill was also
introduced in the New York legislature
las. winter. The fact is such firearms
SO pointed in i" fun" are never loaded
that is "not supposed to be"-and thus
the old woman's logic holds good every
time, that gun may go off even if not

A JUsr DECISION. "A swindle which
has been somewhat extensively practlced
in farming communities has just been iu-
dicially shown up at Rochester, N. Y.
An agent for patent broadcast seed
sower in some way, by transferring his
right to sell his machines probably, OBJ
tanned note for $500 from a poor man
named Williams. This note with many
Others obtained in the same manner
from other farmers, was sold to one Null,
who brought action to recover its value.
The verdict WIS in his favor and Will
liams appealed. In the higher court the
Judge remarked that these purchasers OF
notes who are in league with agents for
agricultural implements are particu.
larly mean set of swindlers, because they
operate ON the poorer class of farmers,
and, as notes so obtained were invalid
he took pleasure in reversing the decis
ion of the lower court.
