Paw Inspector James Fulton, Of the uni
ted States Nay, a native Of this place, now
stationed at Mares Island,' California, is a
lucky man. While it cannot be said that
he was born with a silver spoon in his
mouth. recent events indicate that he Is
likely to hold that valuable article of table
ware firmly between his teeth fOrsOme time
to come, at least. A few weeks ago we
chronicled his marriage to a beautiful and
accomplished daughter Of the modern FL
dorado, and while recording the feliel-
tons episode, we had reason TO believe
that Fortune had cCnspired with Love
to render him the luekiest Of men, The
tickle goddess, it seems, is not yet done
with her favOrite, for she has smiled
upon him more recently, in a beWildering
manner. A couple Of weeks ago he in
vested s., 500 in the stOckiof Nevada silver
mining company, which was Just beginning
operations. The mine turned out 10 be a
rich one, and the stock appreciated IN value
with lightning like raPidity. Col. Fulton
took the tide at its food and sold ont when
the shares were quoted at q heavy h-are,
realizing clear profit 0f over twenty thou
sand dollars in gold. To his friends IN this
vicinity, many Of-Whom are suffering hOr-
ribly for the want Of cash, this sum will
appear fabulous; but we venture 70 say
that their straitened finances viii not pre-
vent them from sincerely rejoicing at L.s
good fortune.

TRUANT DIPLOMACY.

TOoI Of the County Judge.


An indiiferently clad bOyOf eleven years,
with a keen eye, but otherwise Of q solemn
and rather detected mien, went into the
Office Of the County Judge yesterday to ap-
ply for a home. Judge Ferriss was absent,
but the lads intelligent manner induced
the clerk to detain him and hear his story.
Clerk-"What is your name, my diminu-
tive friend?
"JOhn Richardson . was the firm reply,
the interrOsatOr thought, in a decidedly
impressive tone, for boy Of his size and
years.
Clerk-"HaTe you no one to look after
you and taze care Of yOu?7
Urchin-"NO, my father and mother are

they were goin' to bury somebody, and
asked felleI who il was dead. He said,

he nov had the eager attention of every
one in the Office, but only added-"Father

sisters-they died not long ago." when

fOrlOrn lad.
"John Richardson. His name amt
John Rich did he say that was his
name? His names Manse; I know him.
His mother lives over here on College
Hill"
a policeman stepped about this time
and cOTrObOrated Jin1s statement, saying
young Manse was well known to the
police in his ward. He was in the habit Of
running away from home, and his mothers
efforts to control him availed nothing.
On hearing what had transpired the Of
fcer demanded, "What did you tell that
lie fOr?'
Urchin-"Oh, just wanted to see what
these fellers would say.n
'Get out snd get home, you little ras-

and appointed Monday as the day when he
would return TO take him home, if the ap-

THE BURLEsQUE ~sHOCK-RAUN.''

Dion BOucicault, the author Of the play
Of s'ShaugraUn," now being performed at
Wallack's Theatre, has fled a bill in
equity in the United States Circuit
Court of this District, asking that John F..
Poole, proprietor Of the Olympic Theatre,
on Broadway, be required to show cause
why be should not be enjOined from pre-
senting the play Of the "ShOck-raun" at
the Olympic, and pay Mr. BOucicault dam
ages for having presented it. Mr.. BOuci-
cault, in his complaint, sets forth that he
is the author and proprietor Of the play,
which he has had copyrighted, and has
given no one permission to present it; that
the "ShOck-Raun," which Poole claims TO
be an original burlesque, is essentially the
same play as BOUcicaUlt's; that the charac-
ters, plot, and incidents, are substantially
the same in both plays; that POOle's play
bills, advertisements, etc, are gotten up
to resemble BOuCicault's, with intent to
deceive the public and injure BOucicault,
to the advantage Of Poole, and that they
have measUrably produced this result.
An order for Poole to show cause was
granted.

Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The general feeling among the Admins
tration Republicans and those from the

SAGE Of the Civil Rights bill has saved the
party. The legislation of to-day will be
followed up by measures equally extreme
and obnoxious, the effect Of which will be
10 keep alive the discOrd and dis
sension in the Southern States, and
thus afford between now and 1876 a
pretext for the use of the military in that
section. They feel that unless four or i've
Of the Southern States can be carried in
the next Presidential contest, the election
of the Democratic nominee is inevitable.
They count upon Florida, Louisiana, South
and North Carolina, and Mississippi, as
the States in which the bloody harvest IS
most likely to be reaped.

A SINGULAR case Of hydrophobia, and
one winch has thus far baiiled medical
skill, has just Occcred near Pittts6urg,
Pennsylvania. A young man was bitten
in the hand by a dog three months ago;
the wound healed and nothing but a scar
remained to indicate that the member had
ever been wounded. The other night the
young mans bed fellow was awakened by
hearing him clawing at the bed clothes
and barking like a dog: and on rousing
him, was attacked with terrible fury. He
seized his friend and held him down, but
had to exert all his strength and dexterity
to avoid being bitten. The patient has
been removed to the Western Pennsyl-
yania Hospital, at Pittsburg, but is not ex-
pected to recover.

Judge East, calling upon the proper Of

outstanding warrants, interest on the

strange that, in the prevailing rage for
retrenchment and reform, no one
should have thought Of it before.

important series of resolutions IN

fraudulently or irregularly issued. He
distinctly disclaimed any leaning to-

Civil Rights bill, was tabled-as it
should have been. This is no time for

TIE idea of reputation is not the
idle fgment of a restless brain, but is
a something which has taken firm hold
on the minds Of many, and Is come to
be regarded as one Of the necessities
of the hour. Resolutions have been
offered. ave, bills have been carefully
prepared, presented, and printed which
mean simply repudiation. Honorable
Senators have told ne that they
were not only in favor Of the passage
OF such bills, but were elected on
platforms which advanced such
action. Leading gentlemen however,
from the other side Of the question,
tell me that the people Of the State do
not demand it, that IN no instance
where a repudiationist had opposition
was there one elected, and that only
those gentlemen who fought merely a
nominal opposition were chosen on
rgpudiation platform.--NoshUltLe Cor
