PROBABLE MURDER.
A Young Mulatt0 Woman Slabs a
Negro Performer for Play.
ing q Joke on Her at
the s'Nigger st.
Charles"

Saturday morning about 9 o'clock diff.
Guilty took place between colored man,
named Charles Royal, one of the performers
in the "Nigger st. Charles" and young
mulatto woman named Mollie Robinson, at
the corner of Union and Dryades streets,
which terminated in the woman drawing
pocket-knifs and stabbing Royal in the left
shoulder, inficting dangerous wound.
The wounded man was conveyed to the
Charity Hospital, where his wound was ex-
smined by DR.. Miles, who pronounced it to
be of dangerous nature. Mollie was arrest
ed and locked up in the Central Station. She
states that she had q falling out with Royal a
few nights ago about q monte dealer named
Bob, and went to Carrollton on some business
Friday morning, and did not return home
until Saturday morning, when she was in
formed that Royal. during the performance at
the Niger st. Charles, got off several jokes
about her, and accordingly started out to hunt
him up with the intent Of killing him.
She met him on Dryades street and invited
him into the grocery store at the corner to
take drink. When she got him into the
store she asked him whether he had said any
thing about her on the stage Friday night,
and immediately pulled the knife out of her
pocket and stabbed him in the shoulder. She
walked ont of the place and got another drink
and returned to the store where he was with
the intention, she states, of numbering him,
but was arrested Just as she entered the store.

Social Life in Berlin.

The Berlin Opera House is not SO large as
that in Munich, but it is an exceedingly
cheerful and agreeable one. The Emperor
box, which is opposite the stage, occupies a
considerable part of the house, and the house
is usually well filed with an audience exceed
ingly respectable, if not brilliant The no.
ticeable thing in the audience was the promi-
nence of litary uniforms. You would
think the town was in q state of siege. Go
ing in undress seems not to be allowed, and
swords chatter and brass and tinsel dazzle you
in all assemblies. For the rest, there is not
much dress.
The Germans do not dress for the opera.
They go there out of love for the music, at an
early hour, and in costume which is most
comfortable. A few ladies in the dress circle
appear in full toilet, but no one need be sur
prised to see every lady pull her knitting out
of her pocket. There is q homely simplicity
in the audience which is thoroughly German.
1t is apparently no more sin to go to the opera
in Berlin than it is to 90 to Thursday even
ing meeting in America. The Germans are
frugal people. You see no sign of dissipation
or OF the rapid life of city. The German
society may be as dissolute as any in the
world, Berlin may be as immoral as Paris,
but it finds it very difficult to appear so.--

Keep Straight Ahead.

Pay no attention to slanderers or gossip.
mongers. Keep straight on in your course
and let their back-bitings die the death Of
neglect. What is the use lying awake nights,
brooding over the remark of some false
friend, that runs through your brain like
forked lightning? What's the use of getting
into worry and fret over gossip that has
been set afoat to your disadvantage. by some
meddlesome busybody, who has more time
than character? These things cannot posi-
bly, ipjure you, unless, indeed, you take notice
of them, and in combating them give them
character and standing.
If what is said about you is true, set your
self right at once; if it is false, let it go for
what it will fetch. If a bee stings you, would
you 60 into the hive and destroy it? Would
not Q thousand come upon you? It is wis
dom to say little respecting the injuries you
have received. Weare generally losers in the
end, if We stop to refute all the backbitings
and gossipings We may hear by the way.
They are annoying, it is true, but not dan
gerous, SO long as We do not stop to expostu-
late and scold. Our characters are formed
and sustained by ourselves, and by our
actions and purposes, and not by others. Let
us bear in mind that ''culminators may
usually be trusted to time and the slow but
steady justice of public opinion"

DEAD FOR A DUOAT, DEAD"

In the recently published list of patients
who died at the Charity Hospital during last
year, we find the name Of Gov. Warmoth.
Whether this be good news'or bad, let pos
thumous fame decide. For ghost, however,
ex.Gov. Warmoth was exceedingly live and
spry, yesterday, as he sauntered down Csna
street with that animated skeleton, Col. Jack
Wharton. Those skeptical people who may
be inclined to trust the strong, but frequently
delusive, evidence of the senses, and believe
that warmoth is alive because they see him
on the streets, need only turn to the Charity
Hospital Report Of 1876, mortuary table,
under date Of September 81, 1875, folio rs,
to be convinced Of their error and Of the fact
that those who have shufiled of their mortal
coil may "revisit thus the glimpses of the
moon"

A FATAL FASCINATION.

Jumping from points of elevation, says
Albert Rhodes, in the February GALAXY, is .
fashion of suicide To sand on an elevated
site exercises a singular fascination over some
people, leading them to jump into the air. It
causes others to sweat and tremble with fear.
Last summer talked with the guardian Of
the steeple of the Cathedral at Strasburg on
this subject, and he informed me that few
visitors were free from the feeling Of fright
on reaching the first terrace, which is of great
altitude, and that it was SO pronounced as to
generally prevent them from going higher.
Sometimes the women tainted. confess that
was not free from vague dread in looking
out over the immense reach OF landscape
which this view takes in, although there was
absolutely no danger, the terrace being
securely guarded by strong iron rails.
This man of the upper air tho guardian or
guide-informed me that the summer before
an Englishman had tainted, but determined to
overcome his fright, and continued to ascend
every day for week, until he could look out
in the direction of the Black Forest, from the
lantern, with equanimity. During the sum-
mer, man had jumped into the air through
altitude fascination. He was probably dead
before reaching the ground, on account of the
immense height from which he hurled him
self.
Formerly the Vendome Column was the
scene of so many deaths of this kind that de-
cree was issued to prevent visitors from as
cending it unless accompanied by guardian.
Il was the Tarpeian Rock of Paris. Such .
number have killed themselves from fascina-
ton of altitude, or the fright produced there
by. that elevated places must be recognized
as dangerous for certain people. Those whose
self killing is permeditated Of course, are not
comprised therein.

Why Two Girls Cried.

There is difference in girls if the follow
ing stories signify anything. One, the Stan
ford (Ky) Journal tells thus: "'I don't intend
to cry bit at mothers funeral if don't have
a new dress and black veil, said little girl
here on the death of her mother, aud she
got the desired articles, and then flood OF
grief burst forth that lasted unrestrained until
the last solemn rites were performed"
The other story appears in the Petersburg,
I've. )Iiader, Of Jan 81, and reads: sLast Friday
the residence of MIR. E. Helfrich, in Chester
field county, took fire from the burning SCOT
of the chimney, which fell upon the roof and
ignited the shingles. Mr.. Helfrichs little
daughter, aged about ten years, and her
mother, together with some smaller children,
were the only occupants Of the house at the
time. The little girl bravely mounted to the
roof. and the mother passed up to her
bucket of water, by which means, after fire.
quent replenishing, she succeeded in extin-
guising the flames. Some negroes working
in field, in sight of the house discovered
the James and came to the rescue as quickly
as possible, but the little heroine had en-.
tirely scbdued the fire before their arrival,
and was sitting on the roof Of the house
weeping-the effect, doubtless, of the reaction
of feeling after The excitement"

Death of a Man Of Note.

lCoiumbus independent.
Last Monday the mortal remalns of CON-
Victor Monroe Randolph were inferred in
Odd Fellows Cemetery, attended by many
old citizens of Columbus, who knew the de-
ceased before the present generation came
upon life's stage.
From Major Beverly, who attended the
corpse from Blount Springs, Ala, where CON-
Randolph died on the 2Sth ult., We gather the
following scant particulars Of the venerable
gentieman's services:
He was born in Prince Edward county,
Virginia. about the year 1897; was conse-
quently nearly eighty years old at the time OF
his death. At sixteen he entered the United
States navy as midshipman Qhere was no
Annapolis Naval School in those days., in
which service he remained the best years OF
his life, and attained to the rank of captain.
He held that honorable position up to the
breaking out of the civil war, when like
Lee, the Johnstons, Cooper and other regu-
lar officers from the South, he preferred
duty to his native land to prejudice and
mercenary preferment at the sacrifice of what
he thought to be principle, and promptly re-
signed his commission, and offered his
services to the Coniede1acy. They were as
promptly accepted. and ex-Captain Randolph
was made commodore OF the navy, to
operate in Southern waters. He was doing
faithful service at Mobile or Fort Morgan,
when misunderstanding occurred between
President Davis and himself he resigned his
position and retired into private life having
then nearly attained shis ,threescore and ten
years. He died of old age.

Painting the Human Face.

we'll known portrait painter, says the
New York correspondent of the Chicago IFi-
bune, has, contrary to his wishes, found HIM
self occupied quite extensively, the past yeaf,
in covering up with flesh-colored paint the
black and blue spots on the human face d.
vine. He recently informed me that the first
case he had came from q volunteer offer on
his part to paint over bruised place on the
eye OF friend He succeeded so we'll that
another case offered, and still later it became
noised around among actors and actresses
that he was an adept in covering blotcheR
The business grew, until my artist friend as
sured me that not hardly day passes that
he is not called upon to work,in that particu-
lar line.
One day, quite early in the morning, his
door-bell rang, and the servant announced Q
yelled lady. She was ushered into the studio,
revealed herself as prominent actress, and
her eye was friehtful case of black and
blue. My friend never inquired any particu-
lars, but the woman began to talk about her
SELF, and said the night before she had been
most shamefully abused by person for whom
she had great respect, and now she was
anxious to hide the marks of the fray, as she
had to appear at rehearsal at IL O'Clock. The
task was accomplished, and the woman left
the studio delighted with the artists SUCCESS.
Before she had been gone halt an hour
another visitor came-this time man. He
was recognized by the artist and began to
tell tale of his woes in an encounter of the
night before with an Infatuated, jealous wo-
man. There was such coincidence in the
particulars already stated by two visitors that
the artist casually asked if the assailant was
certain actress The man replied that it was,
but wondered how the the inquirer knew
her. Nothing more was said upon the sub
ject, but in less than q week afterwards the
artist saw both parties roll up Fifth Avenue in
carriage together, and ere another month
had passed they were married.

The Dramatic Centennial.

This year is not only great political GEN.
tennial but it is the drama ic centennial In
1876, three hundred years ago, the theater
for those who speak and read the English
language was erected in London by James
Burledge, Esq. So popular was it that in a
few years twelve theaters were built, one of
which was the celebrated Blackfriars, that
had for an actor man known by the name of
William Shakespeare When the first English
theater was put up, Shakespeare was twelve
years old. The real author OF the drama was
at the same time the contemporary of those
who first utilized it in public knowledge.
Our Centennial year is. therefore, marked
in the progress of the world by three events.
It is one hundred years ago since it was de-
clared that this country should be governed
BY those who lived in it, and not by those who
did not One hundred years before that, in
1876, it had been solved that the coming man
of the United States should be white rather
than a red man. In 1876, drama, in the per-
sonation Of theater, asserted its existence in
the English tongue. It is older than our
country; it is older than English or American
liberty. It may live, and probably will, after
the latter is gone GIN Eng

PERTURBBD LOUISIANA.

And now the spirit Of discRd again STALKS
abroad within the limits Of Louisiana, and We
are threatened with renewal Of the scenes
which resulted in the temporary overtWning Of
Kellogg's government and the sad spectacle OF
United States troops interfering in the affairs OF
State. This is the result OF the efforts OF GER
tain scurvy politicians to keep themselves 10
power, and can be easily avoided by . little con-
servative action at the National Capital, which
shall look to the good Of the State and country
rather than the advancement Of any man or
party.-Near York Herald.
Thus speaks the New York Herald in regard
to this outraged and suffering State Of ours
thus has it spoken often before. Tested by
past actions, however, what does it mean
Words, idle words. What said the Herald
when the people, with one sudden. swift and
mighty effort, flung down the rotten fabric OF
government erected by the President. and
installed their chosen representatives? ere
bellion rebellion it shrieked as fercely IS
Grants organ in Washington, and called
upon the government to use the troops to re-
store the usurpation.
Sympathy-the sympathy that ends with
words is cheap-the world is full of it, and we
are sick of 1t. We are sick too of that party
sympathy which says to Louisiana, "Lie
still, it may be hard, but it will help u.s." We
are nauseated with the sentiments of SYM
pathy and pity uttered by Northern Democrats
upon the floor of Congress and elsewhere. for
Louisiana. POUNDS if Louisiana is wronged
by the General Government then are all her
friends everywhere wronged.
If the Northern Democracy have nothing
for the wrongs of this State but words, if they
propose to permit us to be hidden over rough.
shod by the troops of the Federal Govern
ment when we make the slightest effort to re-
gain our rights, and not only permit it, but
actually sanction it by their votes-ve say if
this is what our friends in Congress mean,
then it behooves our people to act for them
selves regardless of everything but their own
salvation.
