scarcely inferior to any which has ever
performed in this city. She has en-
gagged for a brief season in Portland

A MOVE IN THE R1GHT DIRECTION
Friend Bagley, of the Courier, having
become convinced that "Copperheads"
were not such venomous reptiles as his
early education had led him for time
to believe, has moved his Office into the
upper rooms of the STANDARD building,
where he may be found hereafter, pre-
pared to defend the rotten Administra-
ton of President Grant, denounce De-
mocracy, or print poster or wedding
card as in days of yore. At least he
processes as much zeal as ever, but we
opine that the recent elections have
taken the wire-edge off of his ambition
as Republican journalist, and if he
can stand the sanotifying and benign
influences by which he is surrounded
without corresponding improvement
in morals, he is an exception to the gen.
eral rule. We have the enemy now at
short range, and if he don't mend in
some particulars, we'll give him a dig
in the short ribs which will double him
up like jack-knife.

"The rooms of st. Johns Guild head
quarters, at So Varick Street, were
crowded all day yesterday by starving
applicants for food. Many begged
piteously for bed-clothing, or for frag-
ment of any material, no matter how
coarse or worn, with which to cover
their shivering bodies"
