petraied in Georgetown by man named ".

Mcdonald, living near the Great Falls, in this
county. The Captain had been in the habit of
sending his wheat by team, in charge Of Reeder,

GeorA etown, and there was balance due him
OF Slo6. Several days prior to the forgery
he was discharged when on Thursday of last
week, he appeared at Talbors with paper pur-
porting to be order from the Captain for
the amount due, and which was paid, but was
soon found TO be forgery. Mcdonald and Tai

Two spiders, so the story goes,
Uron living bent,
Entered the Westinghouse one day,
And hopefully were heard to say,
"Here we shall have ut least fair play,
With nothing TO prevent"
Each chose his place and went to work;
The light webs grew apace;
One on the altar spun his thread,
But shortly came the sexton dread,
And swept him Off and so half dead
He sought another place.
ON try the pulpit next" said he,
There surely is n prize
The desk appears so neat and clean,
Pm sure no spider there has been
Besides, how often have seen
The pastor brushing flies.
lie tried the pulpit, hut alas
His hopes proved visionary
With dusting brush the sexton came,
Nor gave him time or space to claim
And spoiled his geometric game,
The right Of sanctuary.
AT length, half starved and weak and lean,
lie sought his former neighbor,
Who now had grown so sleek and round,
He weighed a fraction of pound,
And looked ms if the art he'd found
OF living without labor.
'lIow is it, friend, he asked "that

Why Don't He Do TT

When farmer knows that n gate is
better and. as a time and labor-saying fix
turc, cheaper than set of bars and posts,
aud without calling on carpenter he
can make one-why don't he do it?
When he has no other fastenings to
his gate aud barn doors than stone
rolled against them, aud single evening
after supper is able TO make better one
why don't he do il?
Or, when he sees the boards dropping
from his barn and outbuldngs, and,
like heaps Of rubbish, lying in piles
around the premises, aud need only nail
ing on--why don't be do it?
Or, if he is afraid Of the expense Of
nails and is always crying up the maxim
Of DR.. Franklin, save the pence, and
the pounds will take care Of themselves. y
and he knows tharthc same DR.. Frank
lin also said that many men are penny
wise and pound foolish, and he does not
caro- to think Of the precept contained in
the latter--why don't he do it?
II he knows that many Of his fields
would be greatly improved by ditching,
and by the removal Of stumps and stone,
why don't he do it?
And when be knows that his pasture
would yield nearly double the feed. and
of better quality, if the bushes were
all cut and subdued why don't he do
it?
And if he can add liAy per cent. to
the product Of bis farm by the use Of
gypsum why don't he do it?
If be can enhance tho value Of bis
dwelling ten fold, and the comfort Of his
family hundred fold, BY small cxpcn-
diturc--why don't be do it?
If keeping good fences make gentle
stock and good neighbors---wly don't he

FEMALE SocIerY. What is il that
makes all those men who associate habit
ually with women superior to those who
do not? What makes the women who
are accustomed to, and at case in the So
ciety Of gentlemen, superior to their sex
in general? Solely because they are in
the habit Of free, graceful, continued
conversation with the other sex. Women
in this way lose their frivoIity. their fac
utics awaken. their delicacles and pecu-
Iiarities unfold all their beauty and cap
tivation in the spirit Of rivalry. The
men lose their pedantic, rude, declama-
tory or sullcu manner. The coin Of the
understanding and the heart changes
continually. Their asperities are rubbed
Oh, their natures polished and bright
cncd, and their richness, like gold. is
wrought into fner workmanship by the
fingers Of woman than it could ever be
done BY those Of men.

The Havana Lottery SwinGie.

The Havana correspondent of the New
York Times gives the following details of
"ways that arc dark" with Havana lottery
operators:
The vendors of Havana Lottery tickets
are III luck, as the price of the tickets has
been reduced over 100 per cent, and has no
longer fixed value. The buyers, however,
are not so lucky. as the premiums have de-
creased in proportion. a ticket formerly
cost $50 in Spanish gold, equal to SIS IS in
American coin, and now such ticket costs
only Us 10 in Spanish or IS II in American
gold, and is steadily declining. The prizes
announced are not paid in gold, as former
iy, but In deprecated paper currency,
Whlch does not even pass current in the
whole OF the island, and the main premium
OF Sl00,OUO. although advertised, does not
exist, as the holder thereof would receive
less than one-half of that SUN, or. saw
Si3,4I8 IN Spanish or $4O76l in American

same fate, deduction Of ten per cent,
weekly, VIII nave to be made from the
cost OF the tickets and premiums, and
petition Will be handed in to the Intendente
demanding that fixed value be establish
ed, as otherwise the already impaired fame
OF the Havana Lottery would disappear al
together, and thus deprive the State of an
immense revenue. AS most Havana ticliers
are sold IN the United States, it would be
well for the buyers OF tickets not to allow
themselves to be cheated by rascally
vendors, who pretend that the tickets still
cost ?-V IN eood money, and sell according

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Csneru.

This evening a rare programme is offered
terdis grand opera. 'Rigoletto,' will be
produced. and Dumas amusing comedy,
La Princesse Georges" will be played.
Tomorrow evening, NJ. Feitlinger has
benefit, and we sincerely hope that he
will receive good one. NJ Feitlinger
ls an artist thorough, painstaking and faith
full to his art. He was the premiere basse
at the Opera Comique in Paris, which fact.
Of itself, would prove him to be an artist of
high grade, had he not given us the most
convincing proofs OF his ability in the many
difficult roles in which he has appeared
upon our lyric stage. On the occasion of
his benefit III. Feitlinger will appear as
Bel-ebuh in Albert Grisart's fantastic opera,
Les Amonrs du Diable.' N. Feitlinger
will have the assistance of Messrs. DuQuer-
cy. Lourde, Marchand, Donval and Corri-
veau. Mile. Gabrielle Mosset. our popular
prima donna, will personate Urielle, Mile
Denain appears as Ptobe and Mile. Carini
as Leila. AS this will be the only perform
ance of this opera this season, opera goers
should take advantage of the opportunity
to witness it as well as to testify their aD-
probation OF the merits of NJ. Feitlinger.

HE ASSASSINATION OF PAUL RoUx.-As
vel! as can be now ascertained, the death
OF this gentlemen took place under the fol-
lowing circumstances: At a little after
twelve o'clock yesterday morning he came
out OF Wengers saloon on Bourbon street
IN company with an unknown man, and
walking armin-arm. They walked toward
Canal street, but, before they reached it,
bls man, apparently d friend, placed q pis-
tol close to his left breast and fred. Two
witnesses, Charles Roberts and Albert Gal
letz, employed in the saloon of Mr.. Lopez,
fastened to him. He was lying on the
oanquette dead. The assassin either ran
down Bourbon street or took a cab, which
one of the witnesses says was standing by,
and was driven away. The two witnesses
we're detained at the third precinct station
until yesterday afternoon, and then re-
Leased.
The deceased was the son of Jules p.
Roux, Esq, the secretary Of the Louisiana
Mutual Insurance. Company, and half
brother Of Paul Waterman, Esq, the well
known journalist. He lived at his fathers
residence, No. 283 Bourbon street.

tine "Discipies of Thespis.o

BY the mysterious appearance on our
table of "a long and narrow ticket, engraved
in ancient style, and in three sections repre-
senting the birthplace Of Shakespeare, the
stage and sides Of the auditorium of a thea
tire, and further to the left of the card, the
car Of Thespis, canopied, flower strewn, and
supporting female figure holding in its
hands mask, we are made aware that a
new mystical society has sprung into exist
ence in our midst. The card accompanying
the pictorial forerunner bears the words
and figures, ''Varietles Theatre, April 90,
1874 With this much information we are
lett to guess the rest. The twenty third of
April will be the anniversary Of the birth of
William Shakespeare, and it is not unlikely
that his disciples will honor his memory
by street pageant representing the charac-
ters he has created, supplemented with tab
leaux and a ball at the theatre. We are LETT
in doubt about the programme, but suggest
the propping up of galleries along the prin
cipal streets, and the getting ready OF ball
costumes by expectant young ladies.

THE -O'RoURKE MURDER.--Last Febru-
airy the community was shocked by the
killing Of Captain William O'Roulke an
old and well known Pearl river skipper,
while shooting on Lake Borgne. At the
time he was shot he was in a beat duck
shooting, and was watched by his nephew
through spyglass. lie saw his uncle fire,
and two other men fire, and his uncle APP
pear wounded. He ordered his boatmen TO
row him in the direction of his assailant
and they refused to do it. Other shots were
ired, Captain O'R0urke received several
wounds, and subsequently died of them.
William A. and Henry Miller, who keep a
house at Miiler's bayou, were arrested at
the time, but subsequently discharged for
lack of evidence. Efforts have not been
lacking. however, to procure stronger tes-
timony, and Thursday Detective Smith
having procured sufficient rearrested them,
aud they are now confined in the fifth pre-
cinct. Some of the witnesses reside at a
distance, but can soon be brought here and
the case further developed.
