The past week 1T the Varieties Theatre
has been filed out with the comedy allied
"Women of the Day" and the powerful
drama of Henry Dunbar" Both pieces
were we'll acted, and the entertainments
have deserved better patronage than they
received. For Monday evening sensation
has been prepared, called 1.-THE Mod ocs of
Wall street." 'Arrsh-na-Pogue" is also
underlined for early representation. Mrs.
Chanfrau will take her benefit Monday
week.
The first week of the St. Charles Theatre
has been very successful under the new
management. Mr.. C. B. Hawkins, come
dian of the old company, remains another
week, and also Miss Angie Sohott, who will
introduce new specialties. called "Magic
Toys" and series of illusionary changes,
entitled "Masks and Faces" The young
lady is very clever in her line of business.
Wednesday and Saturday matinees are
given at the st. Charles Theatre, and Fri
days are set apart as ladies' nights.

The Jockey Club Races

In another column 10 published the full
programme of the races to come off at the
spring meeting of the Louisiana Jockey
Club, which, for variety of turf entertain
ment, equals any programme yet offered
by the club. Next Saturday, the fifteenth
instant. will be the opening day, and the
games viii begin with . hurdle race, al
ways popular with the ladies. Tho Pick
wick Stakes" mile heats, for three year
olds, will follow, and there is NO doubt
hard fought race will be the result, as
there are three candidates already named
to win certain, out Of the fourteen nomina-
tions. OF course, there is no knowing who
will be successful until the winner crosses
the SCORE. A dash of two miles will wind
up the day.
Two days Of rest, and the warriors meet
again ON Tuesday in Q dash of three-quar-
ters of one mile. This will be short and
sweet, with . troublesome field, Is there
will be . number of entries. Then comes
the Louisiana Stakes for four year olds,
two mile heats. This will be holly con.
tested race from end to end, and will bring
out at least five starters. One mile with
100 pounds on each, will drop the curtain
on the second day. With . good track
very fast race can be looked for.
The third and fourth days are devoted to
open races, free for all ages, when it will
be 'Greek meet Greek"
Friday, the fifth day, the knights of the
timber will meet in handicap hurdle race
of two miles. Very uncertain this will be,
as the weights are arranged to make the
poorest horse on an equality with the best
performer. A free handicap race of mile
heats on the feat, and one mile and three
quarters will clear the kitchen.
Saturday, April lS, the running closes
upon three grand events. The Fortuna
Stakes, one mile and half for three year
ODDS, will set the ball in motion. Then
comes the consolation race to cheer the
osers, as it is exclusively for horses that
have run and not won race during the
week. The closing game will be the
most interesting and exciting of all races
the good old fashioned four-mile heats. 1t
is this style of racing that pleases the pub
lie, for it does more to produce unflinching
gameness and show the weakness of the
horse than all other races combined. A
visit to the club grounds discloses the fact
that great preparations are being made.
Everything is in the perfection of neatness;
90 with bright and genial weather, it can
be safely predicted that this will be the
most successful meeting ever held by the
club.

Local Intelligence.

Why TT is sho Wn by tho receipt Of
taxes ct the City Hall that the treasurer of
the Police Board has ON hand in the neigh
borhood of 4l0O, 000-enough, in fact, to
pay the police force for three months. But
up to this time the rolls for March have not
been Dashed, and the policemen arc begin
ming to ask why the pay they have earned
is not forthcoming. There can be NO honest
reason why they should wait an hour after
the end of the month for their pay-longer
than it takes to make out and forward
their rolls. It il stated that tho Police
Board refuse to issue time certificates to
the men, and that to only one broker in
town is the privilege granted to have or
ders registered in the board. Thus, .
monopoly of brokerage, refusal to issue
certificates which arc transferable and
negotiable, and the Withholding of money
due, when it IL on hand to pay, are . COM
bination of ills-in the face of the reduc-
ton and shave they are forced to stand
that it is hard for good men to submit to.

CHANCE FOR IMPROvEMENr.-It would be
good idea to have an apparatus in some of
the most prominent fire alarm boxes by
which leading fire officers might send dis
patches to the central Office, or receive mes
sages, which would occasionally serve an
excellent purpose. If the expense will not
be great it is hoped that Superintendent
Weeks will consider the subject, and if the
proposition finds favor in his estimation he
can let the public know.

Bank Robbery at Northampton.

A bold robbery of bank at Northamp-
ton, Mass, on Tuesday night of last week,
has created about the same excitement as
the Winslow iorgeries. Seven men disguised
in long linen busters, blue drilling cveralls,
kid gloves. and masks made Of the legs Of
aatinet drawers with eye.holes cut out, en-.
tered the cashiers residence at Que O'Clock,
aroused the inmates aud bound them. Run
ming short of rope they dispatched the SER
want for the clothes line. They then de-
mauded to know the numbers upon which
the combination lock was set. The cashier
gave them wrong twice and thrice, but the
burglars wrote them down and made him re.
peat. OF course they caught him, and
pistol compelled the truth, though he told
them that four keys we're necessary to open
the patent lock, three Of which we're at the
houses of the other bank officers. At four
q. m. Mr. Whittlssey was taken to down.
stairs bedroom, the whole family gagged, aud
four Of the burglars withdrew to operate on
the bank. The Waterman, as they knew,
left the bank at four The lock was Dex-
ters double dial combination with Herriug''
patent for disconnecting the tumblers from the
spindle, was patented by Oscar Yale, last
April, and put on this bank only last Octo-
Der. For safety it was accounted fully equal
to, if not better than. the chronometer lock
But the gang knew all the ins aud outs OF
locks, for when Mr. Whittlesey told them
that they could not enter with but one o.
the four keys required, they responded
I'VE know more about bank locks than you
do" OF course they did, for, when the new
lock was put in, conspicuous notice wa'
posted up warning burglars that it would b
idle for them to wreste with this four-keyed
combination. This notice was probably sadly
taken down, when the desecrated inner sane
tuary Of the institution was reached by tn,
skilled workmen employed to dig the thing
open after the burglars had closed it. Thu
outer door Of the vault was unlocked; tn
other opened with tools for the purpose
The plumber was largely the property o
depositOrs and foOts up over 100000
over half Of which is negotiable.
No clue TO the robbers has been found
but it is thought they took an early train fc
Springfield, where they separated for BostO
aud New York. They had probably bee
hanging around the place for a month.

Possibly because his manner was plausible
and persuasive and still that is hardly
probable, for shrewd, monsy-lender men, ac-
custOmed to deal with sharpers, are not 80
easily fooled as this would imply. No.
these men saw the recklessness OF the course
Of Mr. Winslow, and knew that ruin inn
pended over him, but could a round commits.
sion be gained by them before the crash
came That was the point, and they took
their chances, little dreaming, let us hope,
that their example would draw innocent par.
ties int danger which would prove their
ruin.
1t is reported that many innocent ones
have been sufferers in this case, and this les
son clearly ought to grow out Of it,--that no
man, whatsoever his occupation, is to be coun-
tenanced among those who have influence or
facilities in money matters, whose integrity
is suspected, or whose inability to make bis
promises good is apparent. No temptation
should lead TO the liberation Of such class
Of risks. 1t is inconsistent with that high
sense Of morality which must prevail if COR
porations and capitalists are to retain the
respect Of the ublc.

This winter will be memorable, not only
on account Of its being the opening Of the
grand centennial, but on account Of its mild
ness,--as mild as September or April, and
actually as some days in July. The climate
Of the OarOlinas has been transferred to New
England. The ground has been covered, as
yet, with snow only at intervals and the
rivers and brooks ripple along with all the
merriment Of spring. But what is to be the
effect Of this remarkable winter upon health
aud agriculture So far the season has been
healthy, and still the after results Of so open
= winter may be more serious. There is
danger that the spring may exhibit preva-
lence Of epidemic diseases. May not the
soft earth breed fevers, and the unnatural
atmosphere weaken enfeebled constitutions
II is true that the mild air is favorable to
pulmonary affections, and protection to the
city poor who lack suitable clOthing and
abundance Of fuel, but host Of other evils
are likely to follow the dropping out from
the year the middle month Of our winter
unless it be transferred into midsummer
which would be still worse. Let us use ev
cry precaution to avoid the natural conse
qusnoes Of this exceptional season.
And what will be the effects Of this oper
winter on agriculture The facts may rea
sonably awaken alarm. The farmer need
for his prosperity to have the seasons follow
each other in regular course, the cold ant
snotc 10 their time as well as the icdrmij
and the rain. Deep snow is an inconveni
ence, but it serves a very important purpos
in Northern climate by protecting tn
sleeping plants from winters biting frosts
1t seems to be rather a cold bedspread 70
the field and the garden, but it is not gooC
conductor Of heat, aud hence serves for pro
lection and security. And how convenieu
is sleighiug and shedding in place of wheeliu
and carting at this season of the year. Blu
we shall hardly get "full one hundred day
Of consecutive sleighing aud shedding" thi
centennial year. Still we may look out fc
a sharp February, and squally March and
6tful April but let us hope for an earl
spring and a fruitful season. 1t is bette
after all, that man, and even the farmer, cal
: not have control Of the weather.

A Word for PhrenOlogy, Etc.

10 the Watchmau Of December 8, DR..
Hoskins uses this language; "Some thirty
years ago, New England was all agog with
new isms that claimed to be based upon
science. The chief Of those were phrenology
and Grahamism, of neither of which is much
now left, except an occasional humorous
reference to bumps, in the one case, and a
name for unbolted -four in the other"
Such language as this, 10 relation to phre.
nology, especially, comes half century too
late. PhrenolOgy not only claims to be
based upon science, but is in and Of itself a
scieuce-one of the noblest aud most elevated
sciences, too, that can engage the attention
of man--the science Of the human mind.
Shades of Gall and Spurzheim With what
mingled emotions of pity aud surprise would
those discoveries and early champions OF
what millions accept as the only true and
rational mental philosophy, receive the in
formation that of chronology there is not
"much now left" except now and then some
thing by way of ridicule in reference ia
"bumps." What the evidence may DO, on
which DIR. Hoskins bases his assumption
that phrenology is nearly "played out" We
are not rbls to state. Possibly a certain
amount of prejudice may affect him.
Ordinary observation, it would seem
might convince any iair-minded Individual
of the truth of the general principles of the
science in question; errors in detail there
may be, and doubtless are. No doubt the
Doctor considers the brain TO be the organ
of the mind or would he consider the sea-
of the mind as likely to be in the heels al
the head, or in some locality intermediate
between2
The faith of your intelligent readers il
the fundamental truths Of the discovery o
Gall aud Spurzheim is not to be shaken by
Whit Of ridicule, even though it may CON,
from one who imparts instr uotion-generall,
