since to this city from q most successful and In

Everywhere they were received with distin-
RuiEhinR attention, and wonder upon wonder in
the grand centres Of civilization was revealed to
the Indians, whose ideas OF the magnitude OF TINS
country. ard the numbers and power Of the white
race were augmented beyond the limits OF past
Imagination as they journeyed. Gov. Army Is pros

pated that our citizens will have the instructive
pleasure OF listening to lecture by the Governor
upon the history and characteristics OF the Naya-
ices and other tribes, on which occasion the In.
dians will be exhibited. Due announcement OF

HIS COMPANION SAVES HIM FROM
ARREST.
Mrs. A. r. Allen, residing at No. 400 D street
northwest, yesterday morning, about O'Clock,
was awakened by hearing some person attempt
ing to enter the house, and Immediately awoke
her husband. He went down stairs, and found
that an effort had been made to force the front
door. He started to open II, and had only par
TALLY succeeded, when a large, robust darkey
started to walk IN. Not holding reception at
that hour Of the night, Mr.. Allen, who had in his
hand heavy fre-poker, reminded his visitor Of
the fact by hitting him q powerful blow on the
head, which broke the poker and staggered the
negro. But It seems that he had companion
with him, who fastened to his assistance, and
they were about making q second and more for
midable attack upon Mr.. Allen, who IN the mean
time had been furnished with pistol by his wife,
when that gentleman fired at them, and the one
that received the blow from the poker fell, ex-
claiming "I'm shot" He, however, picked him.
self up and with his friend departed, having
found the reception warmer than anticipated. 4
large pool of blood was found on the step, and
Ofcer Oliver tracked it into O-street alley where
the trail was lost.

MATED.
In consequence Of the resignation OF the Hon.
Henry T. Blow as one Of the Commissioners for the
District ofColumbia, the President yesterday sent
to the Senate the name Of Seth Ledyard Phelps
to fill the vacancy. The fact soon became noised

tered upon active service. During the war he

time he was connected with the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company as Its agent on the coast Of
Mexico and China, but resigned six or eight
months ago, as he had become dissatisfied with
the management. Mr.. Phelps married early in

ANOTHER INJUNCTION
COLUMBUS ALExANDER's SPECIAL

COLUMBUS AL tx AND ER'S SPEClAL
TAXES.
Columbus Alexander obtained from the Special
Term, Judge WyIie, yesterday preliminary in
junction restraining the sale Of certain real estate
advertised to be sold in default Of the payment Of
special-tax certificates held by the First National
Bank Of New York. The order to show cause
against perpetual injunction was Issued TO the
District Commissioners. returnable on the 18th
day Of Janusry, when the case will be argued.
The complainant states that he Is the owner OF
lot 2 square 2S6, on New York avenue; that said
lot is advertised for sale the application as Is
ALLEGED, of the First National Bank of Now
York, claiming TO be the holder OF a certain GER
tifeate Of Indebtedness which purports to be
lien on the property for non-payment OF assess
ment for special Improvements. He alleges that
the law was not complied with, inasmuch as ne
was not allowed thirty days in which to settle,
but that the notification Of the assessment bears
date on August 20, 1872 and was not served on
him until the 3lst of August, and two days there
ness was issued. He further charges that the as
sessment stated in the certificate is slO24 per
front foot, exclusive Of sewer and water ser
vices which increases the amount to about Sll.S2
and he believes the same to have been proper
toned upon an average Of the PRETENDED costs,
and charges that statements were MADE oil tne
costs Of this improvement differing from each
other, and they are unreliable
He charG es that the total cost Of the improve
ment of New York avenue from Ninth TO FIT
tenth street was, as per oficial table, Sl2l 47Ls
to which was added without authority per cent,
making total Of sl2o, 273.25. Within this ag-

1ndoing and doing over again work which was
improperly charged to the aggregate. He
charp es that the contract price for grading was
90 cents per yard, and 40 cents was charged; that
1854 Is, with S302 for hauling, paid by the Gov
ernn ent, should be deducted, as also $1,000 for
two feet Of grading included in the price Of con-
crete which deduction would reduce the amount
to sll2 SO. He further charges that there has
been assessed and collected from the United
States charged to the street railroad and inter-
secting streets, 23045.05, or more than the en-
tire cost, and that square 25l, in which his prop,
erty is situated, has q frontage OF 263 feet, and
but I72l, feet are set down by the board for par
titIoning out the costs; that square ~ has a
frontage of 5seI feet and only ST. feet are CON-
puted. He charges that the system OF assessments
adopted by the board was not in accordance with
the requirements Of the law.

NORTHERN LIBERTY MARKET
MORE STALLS SOLD-A FEW LEFT FOR
RENTAL.


The sale of stalls was continued in the Northern
Liberty market yesterday, beginning at l O'Clock.
There was not as many dealers in attendance as
on the day previous. Having made their selec-
lions, they were content to remain away and
allow those DESTROYS Of procuring stalls an unin-
terrupted opportunity Of doing so. Mr.. Thomas
Bowling commenced the sale at the appointed
time but did not find the bidders as hungry for
a choice as they had been, and consequently the
selling was somewhat slow: After sixteen stands
had been disposed of, and there appearing no de-
sire on the part of those present to offer the COM
psny anything like a fair and reasonable bonus
for the twenty-five stalls remaining, IL was dc.
cided to withdraw and hold them over until next
spring. In the meantime they will be rented at
a price to be hereafter fixed upon by the board
Of directors. Those sold were as follows: $40 and

REnEIFSN DRIRING

The cold weather has the effect'to sharpen the
energies of hack horses and others on the Streets
while It has the opposite effect upon the drivers
to wit: makes them stupid, as witness the many
'shair-breadth escapes" on Pennsylvania avenue
from horses rushing madly and recklessly around
corners and over street crossings. Two gentle
men, apparently strangers, walking down the
Avenue Yesterday, when near Lewis johnson
Co.'s bank, were nearly run down by hack driven
at a break-neck speed across from the south SIDE
of the Avenue. They sprang aside to avoid 1t,
around the corner of street, and in the effort to
dodge the second were struck by the horse Of an
and down tie Avenue. One Of them was thrown
to the ground, though fortunately neither were
injured. few ares by the police for this kind
ofreckless driving would soon break up the haolt
and save serious accidents.

SupDeT.

THE ADDRESS.
The address was made by S. Teaekle Wallis,
Of which the following is q synopsis.
The world is commonly so willing to be de-
lighted and amused that they who would min
lister to its highest pleasures without any special
object of their own to serve might reasonably ex-
pect to be met half way. Such is not the usual
experience in matters Of this sort. The chief
obstruction does not come from those who believe
theatrical entertainments to be sinful, but from
those who think from the expense OF main
tanning It there are many also who hope to cover
their own want OF public spirit by urging the i'm
praeticabiIity and prophesyiDg the failure ofths
WelI-meant labors Of others. We have reason,
therefore, to be deeply gratihed by your hatter-
ing sympathy, and We are Justly proud Of having
added to the attractions OF Baltimore temple
worthy of the highest triumphs Of lyric and
dramatic art. We believe that We have con-
ferred a substantial and practical benefit on the
community.
Communities may grow rich, but It Is the teach
ing of history that they can never be anything
but provincial and little 20 long as they are con-
tent to surrender themselves altogether to the
arts Of thrift. Think Of it, city Of SOo0Oo souls
aspiring to be a great commercial centre and
emporium without public gallery Of art, or any
work of art except those gathered by private
hands.
This Academy is in the interest of art, and all
| that It teaches. The art to which this building
is devoted may be prostituted and degraded, but
its natural tendency is upward, Dramatic and
| lyric representations are the natural outgroWth
| of humanity. Religion itself has not scorned
| their aid. They are linked with the arts that
elevate and adorn. You cannot stand afar of,
| depouncing the vices of the stage with any IA
tionaI hope that your denuneIatiOn will improve.
| From this night forward, If music and the drama
refuse to dwell among Us, it cannot be because
there is no worthy house for them. Ladies and
gentlemen, we surrender the Temple Of the Muses.
| to the worship OF the Graces.
| The dancing then commenced.

be far from my intention as It is from the facts
Of the case, must say few words in explana-

Discrimination between wave lengths is not
only not the true Office OF the eye, but would be
quite Inconsistent with its varied and indispensa-
