Outrage on an English Actor.

IN the early days of June in Sheffield,
one of the great manufacturing towns OF
England, the Whitsun handicaps or foot
races engross the attention of a large class
among the population. In the shop Win
dows of the leading tradesmen are displayed
the prizes presented tor competition ac the
races.
At the time Of these Whit week races this
year a company under Miss Marie Wilton,
the well known London actress, were per-
forming in "Man and Wife, at the Theatre
ROYAL in Sheffield. One afternoon Mr..
Wyndham and Mr.. H. B. Conway, two
members Of this company, were inspecting
the prizes in one of the chop windows. It
seems that Mr.. Wyndham bears strong
and was mistaken by several local running
men in the crowd for the sOutherner, who
was expected to carry of some Of the
most valuable prizes. This impression was
doubtless strengthened by Mr.. Wyndham's g
mechanically rehearsing in an undertone
his part for the evening in which the words
occur, "You say I won't run; won't 1''
The two actors continued their stroll, but
on turning down Chapel walk were sur
rounded by eight or nine roughs, who ad-
vised them not Over-pOlitely, to clear out
of town. Mr.. Wyndham, who, il is said,
acquired in America the habit of carrying a
revolver, drew his weapon, but was over
powered in a moment. Mr. COnway's agility
as a gymnast enabled him to escape through
timber yard: but his friend was gagged,
bound and thrown into a coal cart, in
which, smothered with empty sacks. he
was driven OFT.
Mr.. Conway gave notice Of Mr.. Wynd.
hams seizure at the police station. With
Mr.. English, of Garrick street. London,
and Mr.. George Reeves Smith, general
manager of the Brighton Aquarium. who
happened to be in Sheffield. he set off in
search of the captive. The wagon was
traced from street to street, until Mr.. Wynd-
ham was found insensible, still bound and
perfectly black from coal dust in deserted
coal shed in the suburbs of the city. A
warm bath restored Mr.. Wyndham, but his
assailants are still at large. A crowd Of
citizens assembled at the railway station
when the theatrical company left for Leeds
to express sympathy with Mr.. Wyndham.
and regret that their city should have been
disgraced by such an unwarran.ab.e as
saElt.
The roughs had attacked the wrong men,
but their intention to aid the local cham
pions by so foul an attack on rival from
another part of England throws dark
cloud over the whole competition. If there
is danger Of meeting with such a fate as
would have befallen Mr. Wyndham had he
not been rescued in good season, it is better
to leave the Sheffield rOughs to contest
their races among themselves.

Pestomce Items.

Few OF our readers who receive and send
letters regularly are aware of the neglect
and carelessHess Of many letter writers.
Postmaster Ringgold informs Us that on an
average no less than 525 letters are eent
from the New Orleans Postotsice to the
dead letter office each month-no: as un-
claimed letters. arriving here. bu: for
reasons which could have been prevented
by tie writers. For instance. out OF 52J
letters sent to the dead letter Office IN one
month. l25 bore no intelligiole direction as
to where they should be sent; $50 were not
prepaid. and fifty were Illegally STAN ped

our Youns Mems Christian Association had
the means. as in other places. i. :s possible
many of these letters would be torwa rded
to their destinations by it, trusting to Provi'
dence for a return Of the investment.
OF registered letters. our office receives
abou. eighty-fve packages daily-forty- five
to be opened here. and thirty-hye in tran
sit. The daily average OF registered letters
delivered is seventy-fve: about the same
number are registered for sending away.
The money order department Of our city
postofice averages about $4,000 paid out
daily; it receives for orders little less. say
$500 daily. On hand is generally a surplus
of money order funds. from other Offices of
Louisiana and Mississippi. amounting to
abou: $500.
In the stamp department. the receipts
average $392 daily from the sale Of stamps,
stamped envelopes and wrappers. This
does not include the sale Of postal cards. OF
which only one hundred thousand were re-
ceived here, and those Immediately sold.
We have not received our share Of postal
cards. owing to the inability Of the con-
tractors to supply the demand.
Our postal affairs are in good hands. so
far as New Orleans is concerned. and Post
master Ringgold and his able assistants ap-
pear to give entire satisfaction to all in the
discharge of their duties.

A scientific writer has recently coliated a
group Of facts illustrative of the effect OF
oscillation on powerful bodies when not
frequently broken by vibration. In cross.
ing large suspension bridges it is esteemed
necessary that professions should break
step in order to insure safety; and it is told,
in illustration, that when the first suspen-
sion bridge was building in England fd-
dler offered to demolish it with his fiddle.
Striking one note after another, he eventu-
ally hit the vibrating note or fundamental
tone, and threw the structure into extraor-
dinary vibrations. Only recently bridge
went down in Franco under the tread of q

The Atlas Insurance Company.

| A number Of Canadian and Northern
| capitalists have combined to give us first
class insurance company rpon lie plan OF
| other Large companies OF the United States
| and Europe. The new company is called
| the Atlas. 1t is chartered under the gen

ness last March. An exhibit Of its condi-
| ton appears in another par. 0; the REPUB-
LgCAS. Though the officers ana mos: OF
the directors are strangers to II. personally,
we are informed by those who know them
that there are men Of ample means and
gooc business qualifications among 'hem.
The Home Journc! fortunately supplies Us
with information Oh this point 20 hand:
The name of the company is the Atlas IN
surance Company of New Orleans. and the
chief men interested from the North are The
Hon. John Stevenson, from Canada. late
Speaker Of The House Of Parliament; Pro-
fessor A. }. Sawyer. Of Chicago; E. L.
Craw, Esq, Of Michigan Thomas Nelson,
Esq, OF Chicago. Mr.. William H. Steven
son, the president OF the company. being
also from the North, has located "a New
Orleans permanently.
These gentlemen are all large capitalists
and men Of the highest standing, and the
New Orleans stockholders, the list Of which
we have examined, includes men of the
highest integrity and means Il this com.
munity.
The company goes to work with larger
assets, we believe, than any company ever
organized in the South, having s3U. ..ol So
Of available assets. The business of the
company will. no doubt, be the safest of
any in the South. from the FAC. tha. It does
not propose to take large risks il any To-
cality; and its business will be 80 distrib-
uted throughout the country that no fire III
any ore city will ever affect the company
enough to endanger its existence by losses
sustained.
1t is in this judicious manner Of doing
business that the company will prove a
great financial success. and result IN vast
benefit to New Orleans. as it will be draw
ing capital from all over the country to its
home Office in this city. which IS neatly
fitted up at No. l52 Canal street. where
they are already in full operation and daily
receiving applications from some Of the
most reliable agencies from the different

NJ. Renan. in his "Antichrist." has a
plausible theory of Neros setting fire to
Rome. The city was encountered with old
tumble-down buildings, many of which
were held sacred and indestructible by the
people. To have torn them down would
have been a direct attack on the religious
prejudices Of the populace. Nero wanted
to build a new and more splendid city,
something like Paris, but the only way he
could get the ground cleared for the
foundation was by applying the torch.
This is ingenious enough to betrue, and
far more probable than the madman story.
