Professor Belcher

Will give his illustrated lectures, with dissolv
ing views, l6 to "a feet square, interspersed with
gorgeous transformation scenes and wonderful
optical effects The views are brilliantly illumi-
mated by means of the cylindrical pressure
light under the skful management of Mr.. A.
L. smith, the well known Boston stereoptician.
This arrangement requires no dangerous gases to
be made: no chemicals or gas bags are needed, as
Old style stereopticons and is so powerful in Its
operations that picture of gigantic proportions
is produced; startling in its apparent reality, and
wonderfully stereoscoplc, that 1t seems to the
audience as though the emf OF the hall had been
sen away and that they were looking directly out
of doors upon the scene itself. This Illusion has
never before been so perfectly produced by any
apparatus heretofore invented. The views do not
slide on and of the screen, but are dissolved from
one to another, i'll a manner pleasing 10 the eye
and with an effect mysterious and enchanting to
the beholder, by means of mechanism peculiar to
TO this instrument and patented by Mr.. Belcher,
April It'll, 1874. Many OF the views are very rare,
and have been obtained at great expense. The
Arctic scenes alone cost over $50 900. The city OF
New York appropriated 81, 900 to have them brought
before her public schools, an ehectual means OF
education, and we can assure the public that no
such views have ever before been exhibited through
the country.
Entertainments will be as follows:
Matinee, Saturday Atlernoon-"Trip Across
The American Continent
Saturday Evening-"Trtp through Europe
and Greenland"
sunday Evening-"Egypt and the Holy

cecdings and preserve the peace. The
conservatives having failed to capture the
State government in the riot Of last Septem'
Der. at once applied themselves TO the
work of intimidating the republican
voters, through the White League, so a;
to obtain in the November elections con
troll of the Legislature. This they failed to
do, according to the report OF the Return
ing Board. When, however, tne leg'sia'
ture assembled. the conservatives brought
five men whose names were not on the
ist OF those elected and therefore had no
right to take part in the organization, and
by their assistance. and in II very irregu-
lar manner, declared the election OF con-
servative speaker and clerk. The inten-
ton of the conservatives to resort to fraud
and force was known before the meeting.
for thew had declared they would seat the
members rejected by the Returning Board

Wilt himself brought the military into
the Hall to repress the tumult, which was
done in accordance with his request. Al
forwards. by the order of Governor KEEL
logg. the five men who were not entitled
to seats were removed by the military
and this is the act for which President
Grant is denounced by the democratic
press and in meetings engineered by the
leaders of the democratic party. Presl-
dent Grant did not order the soldiers into
the State House, that was done by Il dem
ocrat; neither did he order them to re-
move anybody from the Hall or interfere
with the proceedings. He sent the sol
diers TO New Orleans at the request OF the
Governor to aid in keeping the peace. A
very acute legal mind like that OF Mr..
Evarts may possibly spin an argument
showing the President responsible for the
acts of De Trobriand, but it would puzzle
a better intellect than his to convince the
people of the United States that the Presi-
dent is condemned by the proceedings at
New Orleans as Il Caesar, or that he had
anv intention to send troops there
contrary to the public good and the con-
stitution of the United States.
That the democrats should have so lit
tie fear of danger to the country by the
great rebellion in 1861 and so great anX-
iety and Indignation about the events in the
Louisiana legislature, in 1873 is something
very remarkable. 1t would also be some
thing still more remarkable if the people
were not firmly established in this opin-
ion, that the government is safer in the
hands of those who supported it when it
needed help than in the hands OF those
who in the crisis of its fate were found
with its enemies.

After stating the origin Of the difficulty which
grew out Of an attempt hy white persons to drive
the parish Judge and sheriff appointees of Kellogg
from the office, and their attempted protection by
colored persons, which led to some fighting, in
which quite a number Of negroes were killed,
the judge states that most of those who were
not killed were taken prisoners. Fifteen or six
teen OF the blacks had lifted the boards and taken
refuge under the floor of the court house. They
were all captured and about 81 men were taken
prisoners The number is not definitely fixed
They were kept under guard until dark, when
they we've led ont two by two and shot. Most OF
the men were shot to death. A few were wound
ed, not moray. BY pretending to be dead they
were afterwards during the night-able to make
their escape. Among them was the Levi Nelson
named in the indictment.
The dead bodies of the negroes killed in this affair
were left unbuied until Tuesday, April 18th, When
they we've buried by a deputy marshal and an Off
Ger of the militia from New Orleans; these per-
Sous found 50 dead bodies. They showed pisto
shot wounds, and the great majority in the head
and most OF them in the back of the head. In ad.
dition to the 50 dead todies found, some charreC
remains of dead bodies were discovered near the
Court House; dead bodies we've found under
house, all shot in the head but one or two, which
were shot in the breast. The only white men in
ured from the beginning of these troubles TO The

A Patriotic Girl,

At the time Gen. Greene retreatcd BE-
fore Lord Rawdon from nincty-six, when
he had passed Broad River, lie was very
d.siruus 10 send an order to Gen. Sumter,
who was on the Wateree, to join him, that
they might attack Kawdon, who had d.
7idcd his force. But the General could
find no man in that part Of the State who
was bold enough to undertake So danger
ous a mission. The country to be passed
through for many miles was full of blood
thirsty Tories, who on every occasion that
offered imbrucd their hands in the blood
of the Wings. At length Emily Geigcr
presented herself to Gen Greene, and pro-
posed to act as his messenger; and the
General, both surprised and delighted,
closed with her proposal. He according
ly wrole letter and delivered 1t, at the
same time communicated the contents OF
it verbally, to be told to Sumter in case OF
accidenG Emily was young, but as to
l.er personal adventures On the way we
have no further information, except that
she was mounted on horseback upon a
side-satidle, and on the second day Of her
! Journey, she was intercepted by LORD
| Eaw,un's scouts. Coming from the d.
rvction of Grecnc's army, aud not being
able tell an untruth without blushing.
Emily was suspected and confined to q
room, and as the officer IN command had
the modcsty not to search her at the time
he sent for an old Tory matron as more
fitting for that purpose. Emily was not
wanting in expedient, and rs soon as the
door was closed and the hustle little
subsidized She ate up the letter, piece by
niece. After while the matrOn arrived,
and, upon searching carefully, nothing
was to be found OF suspicious nature
about the prisoner, and she would dis
close nothing. Suspicion being thus al
layed the officer commanding the scouts
suffered Emily to depart whittier she said:
she was bound :; but she took aroute some
what circuit,us to avoid further detention
and soon after struck into the road TO Sum-
, tcrs camp, where she arrived in safety.
Emily told her adventure and delivered

in consequence, soon after Joined the main
