SrRADELLA LAST NIGHT.-Anoiher splen.
did audience filled the theatre last night, on
the occasion of the second representation Of
the romantic opera Of Stradella by the Ge.
sapgverien Virginia. The performance fully
justi6es us in rei.erating our criticism of the
first presentation Of the opera. Everything
worked smoothly, all who took part having
learned something by experience. The au.
dience seemed perfectly carried away by the
grand musical treat they were enjoy
Ing, and they testified their appreciation
in frequent applause, and in bestowing upon
the favorites numerous marks Of approval.
Miss Reinhardt, who sustained the principal
soprano role, appeared to be inspired with
additional vlvacily, which, together with her
delightful singing, fairly en;nused her mlsy
admirers. She was the recipient OF number
of elegant bouquets and two beautiful baskets
of flowers. MIR. Fischer, the tenor, did not
acquit himself rs well as on last Thursday
night. He sang with less animation, and his
voice appeared to be weaker. The chorus
was grand, and if possible much improved.
Tonight the season will close with second
representation of Der Frei>ehutz.

ANOTHER THIEF s,oRTaLLY woUypE
SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.

Early Sunday morning Polieema Cosby
while going bis rounds in the vicinity OF
Taylor's alley, nelr the stables Of the Stree.
Railway Company, on Leigh street, saw, q
little ahead OF him, negro with 4 lot OF
chickens in his hand. He accosted him and
asked bim TO hofd on -; whereupoD the fel.
Tow dropped the chickens and raD.. Mir. Cos
by, after vainly calling upon him, TO stop,
Bred two or three shots at him. but the fugi-
tive stayed not bis steps, and Mr.. Cosby came
10 the conclusion that be bad misse d. the OBJ
ject OF his aim. re beard no more about
the man until late Sunday morning. About
8 O'Clock mcofored mar, badly wounded was
brought to the Church Institute In waroD.
He gave his name as Jobn Taylor, ard the
man with him was represented to be;.and
undeubte lily was, bis bgoIher. The brother
made arrangements with DR.. Moncuy5 10
take John in and treat him. The wound
was found 10 be very dangerous, very pro-
badly mortal, one. The ball had enteredih
the small part of his bach and lodged near
the skin Of the stomach, under the ribs. Dr..
Aencure inserted a probe TO the depth o.
two inches, but concluding that it would
very likely do no good, did not further prose-.
cute bis search.
Taylor, though in somewhat of stupor-
whea he was brought to the Institute, on yes
terday was able to talk nationally. He first
declared that he was walking along Fourth
street near Clay, whef -seme snen, chased by
policeman, fled past him.. and that he be.
came frightened and ran too+ and was shot
by the policeman, and that after being shot
he hid III water. closet and there remained
until day. In another account, not other.
wise varying materially from tins, he located
the scene of his mshap near The corner of
First and Clay streets. s.. 5...t... IL
Yesterday evening Captain wilkinson yis-
tied the Institute, and recognised Taylor as
an exmember of the chain gang, who had
been put IN for stealing. Policeman Cosby
has also seen the wounded man. There can
hardly be doubt that be is the man at whom
Mr.. Cosby shot, bis strong and'persistent de-
mails to thecontrary notwithstanding.

LIrIrG7 Council OF THE Cross "-ITs
LEADER IN TESuBLE.-Thomas Jefferson was
before the Police Justice yesterday morning
charged with threatening to shoot or other
wise murder, MAIN, or mistreat one William
Campbell the leader Of /" The Living Couu-
Gil Of the Cross" Mrs. Thomas Jefferson
was the cause of all the trouble. She is
sable but mild and solt.eyed 1oman, but has
or had latent powers enough to disturb the
jealousy oI her husbaud then.5o quarrel and
fight with him; tncn to desert him; and,
lastly, to seek refuge beneath the roof Of
William Campbell. Having gone to Camp
belPs house to see his erring wife, Thomas
Jeff.rson. sage and philosopher, would not
be put of with any Of Campbell's honeyed
phrases and denials Of knowledge Of the wo-
mans whereabouts. He finally got so eXis-
perated that he threatened to do Camp
bell bodily injury, and CaRpbel had him
arrested. Jefferson asserts. that bis wife Was
fond and true until she entered "The Living
Council Of the Cross and took the eleventh
degree. What that degree is was not di-
vulged, but it was alleged to be something
indecent. Police Justice White discharged
Jefferson, and advised Campbell to shake the
dust Of this metropolis from his No. 10 bro.
gaus with all due dispatch, as he and his Or
der had done no little to demoralize our cod
ored people
