HAMILTON OPERA HoUsE.-The play
ut the Opera House last night was de-
cidedly sensational ard emotional. "a
Bit O. Ash was new to q Wheeling au-
diencc ana seemed to be highly enjoyed
by those who were present, and there
was II very good audience. Lewis Nor
rlson sus.ains himself admirably, and too
much cannot be said of Miss Rose Wood,
whose personal charms are only surpassed
by her talent rs an actress. She has won
the hearts of our theatre.gong people in
wonderful degree. Tonight Is her
benefit, when she will appear in play
that is her specially, "Tne Lotus Flower.

THE BABC0CK EXTINeUISHER AND THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.

There has been for some time sort 0,
hostility existing between the fire depart.
ment and those innocent looking churn.
like contrivances known as Babcock fire
extlnguishers. The underwriters appear
as lntervenors, as the lawyers would say,
IN behalf OF the patented invention. Bah
cock has evidently found favor with the
insurance companies, and the agents are
determined to give the extinguishers a
fair test. A proposition was recently
made to the department and accepted, that
well appointed extinguisher should be
mounted and turned over to the fire COM
panies for trial, in numerical order.
Time it came to No. 24's turn, how
ever, the pressure against the strange
continuance had become so strong that
the board of delegates addressed an order
to return the Babcock to the underwriters.
which was at once obeyed. The under
writer's, however, were not satisfied with
this action, and determined to continue the
trial for their own account, and employed
. force Of firemen TO run it. Upon this
the commissioners ordered the chief en-
g1neer to put . stop to al attempts to
ne tie Babeoek at the fires, and arrest |
he persons IN charge Of it. Mr.. O'Con-
nor wisely refused to obey this arbitrary

FURTHER INFORMATION.

The telegraph gives synopsis Of adj
ditional correspondence, orders and re-
ports, submitted by the President to the
Senate, relating to Louisiana affairs, to be
considered in connection with his special
message. Nothing positively new is de-
veloped in the telegraphic references to
Major Merrill's and Colonel Morrow's re-
ports, and dispatches which have been
made public. General Emory is put on
record as considering the action of Major
Merrill as "a departure from the estab-
lished rules of the service, and mis-
chievous in its tendency" Major Merrill
himself says that ''no civil authority or
machinery of any kind, local, State or
national, has for long time existed at
Shreveport. Colonel Morrow reported
that under arrangements made with
prominent citizens, ''there will be no
further calls for troops to act as posse for
marshals.''
It has never been doubted that certain
prominent citizens can prevent the neces-
sity for troops in all parts of this State.
Let those same citizens denounce the law
breakers and disturbers of the peace,
armed men and White Leaguers, and all
men who defy local civil authorities, and
there would certainly be no need for
troops. Colonel Morrow also says, Gre
spect and regard for the general govern
ment are expressed by all classes of
people" which is vague sentence, not
made clearer by the disrespect shown for
the President, judges, marshals and gen.
eral officers Of the United States in words
spoken and published in Louisiana. In
the midst of explanations and reports
stands out dispatch unmistakable It |
is from the President to General Emory:
"Be in readiness to suppress violence and |
have it understood that you will do it."
Andy johnson would have said, 'Have it |
understood that you will not do it," and
the scenes Of 1866 would have been re-
peated.
The President withholds nothing from
Congress, and that body should act intel
ligently and promptly. What has been
done by the military here has been done
to save life. 1t is boastfully said by the
Democrats that but for the United States
troops the State government would be-
overthrown in twenty-four hours. Such
IN admission should be made with shame
instead of pride. Is it something to boast
If to say that we live in a State where
ooints of law are decided by shotguns in
tfad Of judges? And yet the White
Leaguers told US that we lived in pre-
,isely such place on the fourteenth of
September. The President, by his mes
age and facts submitted, does his duty;
lie prays to be reli eyed by Congress from
he forced position of arbitrar in con-
ested case, and we pray for Congress.

that our people suffer so much from In
digestion when there is so much bad food
consumed, and the haste in eating it2
There are those who assert and believe
that some day in the distant future Amer
lea will be the land of perfect cuisine.
all the excellencies taken from the diets
OF several nations moulded into one, and
preserved for the express delectation of
the coming man" of this continent.
Would that we had some inventive genius
who could give the reform SO much
needed in our national cookery. He
would be hailed as a philanthropist.
Punch, in his Almanac for 1874, has a
picture entitled, ''Mr. Punch's School of
Cookery, Courtship and Conjugality." A
large audience of English ladies are re-
presented as being present, to whom he
says, presenting deliciously favored
dish: "There, ladies, taste, tbs the art,
my dears, the art! Learn to cook, my
angels Learn to cook and men will be
your sla ses"
If there is art in good cooking the
sooner our people set about perfection in
such an art the better it will be for the
welfare of the hation and the improve
ment of the race.
Upon this subject contemporary well
remarks:
We find it difficult to imagine why the
people OF some Of the Western, Southern
and Southwestern States, who live in lands |
which almost literally flow with milk and |
honey, can content themselves with ''hog |
and hoIniny" as their chief Diet or why in |
some OF the most cultivated regions of New |
England or the Middle States, one often |
comes upon tavern Or home where the /
table is loaded with everythin that is fatal |
to properly trained digestion. Is it not |
strange that the people who fry beefsteaks
and drink bitter, black coffee morning, noon
and night, should take gloomy views of life,
and should consider it absurd to make a
meal IN some respects a pastime. Not until
they learn the full value Of living for some
other purpose than mere work. not until
they appreciate the dignity Of well chosen
leisure in the intervals of effort, will they
make careful and thorough study of cook.
Dry, or will they get wholesome or we'll
prepared food served to them in public res
and great majority Of hotels.
Let all who desire long life, healthy
digestion and well ordered household,
the subject proposed fer their
and endeavor to profit
hereby.
