ordered, and dccrecd, that the father
should pay tho girl the sum of cigh~

AN uNMANHERLY AUDIENCE.

Ih the Editor Of TIE Chicago Tribune:
Sm: It may seem invidions to draw compari-
Sons, but might not Chicago still learn some
thing from the older citics? have no special
love for Boston. She still retains too much OF
tho " Praise God -Barebonss stamp about her
to suit q cosmopolitan nature, but It was my
good fortune one year ago to listen to Miss
Cushman's rendering Of Queen Katharine in
that city: It was d matinee performance, aud
the theatre WAS packed to its utmost capacity,
but from the raising Of the curtain at tho CON-
mencement Of tho frst act, to the dropping Of it
at the close OF the Last, you might
have heard pin fall anywhere in
the building. To-day, in the middle of the Or
chestra circle, during the first two acts, no words
could be distinguished except Miss CuAhman's
and o'Neill's, aud not always theirs. For the
rest, they might as we'll have been puppets
moved BY string. or the mationettes Of . street
ehow, for Any apparent sound that issued from
their lips. And this through no special fault
Of the actors. 4 wiser pen than mine has criti-
cized the vulgazity which leads people to enter
theatre late, and disturb tho would-be
listeners by the dash and ostentaMon
with which they herald the fact
that they arc the poasessozs Of reserved seats.

court decides that al statutes of prescrip-

during the war. which in Louisiana was not

President Of April, 1866. Decree affirmed.
The reason for the postponement by the
Supreme Court to-day OF the application of
counsel foc WarmOth for the allowance of
an appeal from the decision of Judge Du-

had nothing but the application before it,
and therefore could not act. Counsel was
granted leave to file the record and other

Judge Hawkins and the Butchers.

The decision of Judge Hawkins yester-
day in several cases involving the right OF
the Slaughterhouse Company 10 retain the
he ads and feet of animals slaughtered by
them, is very gratifying to the butchers OF
this city. The judgment was in favor OF
the butchers as against the company. and
hereafter, as one of the butchers expressed
himself, ''We can keep the head and hoofs
to show whether the animal is an OK or a
mule" The butchers are an honest. indus
trious and law-abiding class Of people, and
have rights which an honest Judge will pro.
tect, the same as he protects the rights of
other classes OF citizens: and for his reason
able and equitable decision yesterday,
Judge Hawkins has won their good esteem.
But for the enormous taxes levied on them
by the siaughterhouse managers, the butch
ers would be able to furnish meat to the
public at much cheaper figure than at
present: hence it is the consumer after all
who is compelled to support the monopoly.
