scbumaun,s Novelty Comb ination.


Schumann's Grand Transtlan tic Novel;
ty Combination, now performing at the
Academy of Music, is a combination OF
strong attractions, and many features pre-
sented are certainly new to this city. Ex-
cepting the opening night Of the Academy,
the house last night was the best one
of the season. The entertainment COM
mences with comic paDtOmime-a farce
without words--very cleverly done. The
olio displays juggling feats by Professor
Beckmann, good in their way; Pro-
lessor Giovanni, who makes sweet music
BY manipulating ordinary tumblers or
goblets more or less filed with waek; Sig.
Carlo Benedict, who swallows swords
thirty.two inches long, and bayonets
fixed on Belgian rifles, as easily and
wonderfully as it he had been built
for sabre scabbard instead of man. The
gymnastic feats and tumbling by the Al
monte Brothers and the little Rouselles are
not first class. Herr Schulze, facial ar
fist, gives something new in style. He H.
Illustrates the power of single human face
10y
characters. He has . face for all conditions
and stations in life, from Brooklyn pastor
to a ward politician. The most wonderful
performance given is that of Herr Unthan,
a man born without arms, who produces
passable music upon a violin by using
his toes. A man deprived Of arms in mid
die life world appear to be utterly help
less. This man, having never known the
blessing of arms and hands, has educated
his feet to do for him all hands need do
He tunes his violin, rOsins his bow, and
plays more skillfully than many performers
having all physical endowments. Don
Ferreyra, another novel attraction, is a
man who plays upon his hands, without
mechanical assistance, in imitation of a
flute. There are other attract ions in the
way of velocipede riding, but not so won
derful in execution. The same perform.
ance will be repeated tonight.

We have received the following in terest'
ing document from the Mayor Of Baton
Rouge: -.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
One George Austin, alias Buck Robson,
was arrested by the police of this city to.
day, charged with the robbery of DR..
Dupree, which was committed some time
ago, where large lot of jewelry was stolen.
The police officers have been looking for
this man some time, as he is a notorious
thief and an ex-convict of our State Peni-
Tertiary. Upon searching him document
was found on his person, of which the fol-
lowing is a true copy:
In print:
In the attack of Monday one George Aus
tin, a colOred man from Baton Rouge,
who volunteered to cary water to Cap
tain Andrews company, had his left
hand severely injured by Winchester
ball. He was carrying water for the men
under fire, and earned high opinions for his
bravery.-Nep Orleans Bulletin, September
l6, 1874.
And the folio wing in writing:
The bearer, George Austin, was wounded
on Monday evening while serving the citi-
zen-soidiers at the front. As he is helpless
with his wounded hand, hope he will re-
ceive assistance from the citizens. as he is
in distress. He is reliable and worthy.
JOHN G.. ANGELL,'
Colonel Commanding the First Louisiana
Regiment. No. l52 Julia street.
Please publish this, SO that the good citi-
zens of New Orleans may not be imposed
upon BY this thief and ex-convict.

On THE DARK AND BLOODY GROUND
Sunday, soon after brilliant sun had start
ed on the down grade from meridian,
slouchy looking man might have been seen
on the corner of st. Charles and Common
streets, where SO much human blood has
been spilled, and he seemed uncommonly
anxious to open his safety valve, as he had
on heavy head of steam, generated OF
corner grocery whisky. just to crafty his
desire somebody encouraged him. and that
somebody finally lost his temper and landed
a set of b0ny knuckles on the fellows
cheek, after which they adjourned anu
opened half bottle of wine. The young
man who had been drinking corner grocery
whisky, before the knock down, uttered
several sentiments not IN the least compll-
mentary to q handsome young man who 10
freouently seen on the aforesaid corner and
was at that time near by. This fact was
communicated to him and he quickly ap-
peared ON the spot, but the belligerents
were then addressing themselves to that
half bottle AS the young man stood on
the battle ground he discovered person
with whom he was not ON good terms and
at once concluded that he was the one who
had spoken ill of him. A few words passed
between them, unheard by bystanders, and
that was followed by red hot blows. The
party of the first part then made . motion
to draw q weapon, but it was only blum;
ditto tor the party of the second part. They
separated few PAGES anf both drew re-
volvers, when No. l attempted to shoot
but his weapon missed fire. No. 2, who
stood on the bapquette, blazed away send
ing a bullet after No. l, but the missile
sped little wide of its mark, and per.
forated enc of Icons oyster barrels. OF
course the entire living neighborhood spilled
itself into the streets to see what was in
progress. BY this time the shootsts were
warm and anxious for blood, but No. l,
whose pistol would not belch, stepped into
barrOom, when several gentlemen inter
fered and brought the war to sudden
ending. The miserable pistol which cheated
the coroner out of a fee was then sent OF
for good loads, after which its owner par
took of a solid dinner in Camors restau.
rant. Later the warriors met on ST. Charles
street, but their blood had cooled, and that
was the end.

LARGE FIRE IN THE FOURTH DISTRICT
About three o'clock yesterday morning fire
was discovered in the double frame cot
tage No. ABB Liberty street, near st. An
drew, owned by Mrs. Simpson, and unOc-
cupied. This building burned rapidly, and
the fire was not checked until the two blocks
embraced between Liberty, Franklin, St.
Andrew and jackson streets were totally
destroyed. Our tiremen were promptly on
the ground. a second and a general alarm
sending all the machines to the scene.
However, the department, outside of the
hook and ladder companies, could render
but little service, as all the water which
could at first be obtained was from half
empty cisterns. Only one building, the
German church on the corner of Franklin
and st. Andrew streets, was saved, but the
residents succeeded in removing most OF
their furniture.
Wind was quite fresh, and as all the
buildings were of wood, great showers OF
fire flew through the air in q sOutherly line;
many of these houses had single roofs, and
ignited easily. Firemen worked like he
rOes, stamping out flames on roofs and as
sisting unfortunate people to save house,
hold goods. When the fire had nearly
burned itself out for lack of food the glad
tidings was sounded that water was coming
from the river. The tngbost Tyler had got
to work at the head of st. Andrew street
and sent down fair quantity, when some
Of the steamers put in good time, saving
much valuable property. Had the tiremen
found water in the beginning, not more
than half dozen buildings could have been
destroyed. As it is, fully fifty houses were
burned. Policemen and reporters found it
almost impossible to obtain names Of the
sufferers.
