ACADEMY OF Music. Mss Rc,,d. This
young and gifted comedienne COM
mences an engagement this evening at
this theater, producing for the first time
in this city the drama Of "Cush, a new
departure in Irish comedy. AS the
character of Cush Is finely drawn, and is
Miss Rena's speciality, we may expect a
truly fine performance. Miss Rena
comes strongly endorsed by the press Of
the numerous cities where she has ap-
pearcd. On Thursday and Friday
Rena produces the beautiful Indian
drama OF "Hazcl Eye" and Saturday
night the great border drama Of "Buf-
falo Bill"
This will make lively week Of
amusement at the Academy. The stock
company return from Mobile this morn
ing to take part in Miss Rena's plays.
"Cush" will be given at the Wednesday
matinee. The machenists and scenic
artist have been at work for several days
upon Miss Rena's drama, and will show
some beautiful scenery and mechanical
effects. Manager Bidwell is keeping up
season, holding for his cosy little theatre

It is reported that the committee
appointed by the School Board to inves.
tigate the charges preferred against the
School Director, James Ingraham, will
meet at the City Hall on Monday In
secret session. We cannot see IL Ingra.
ham Is innocent of the charges why he
should wish to be tried in secret.
"A clear conscience feareth no accuser."
1t Is no more than proper that as the
charges were first brought to light by
the public press, that Ingraham should
be tried publicly, and by tho three
gentlemen who have been appointed to
sit in judgment on his case. And 1t is
to be hoped that they will show no par
tiality on either side, but give Ingra-
ham fair trial, and IL he is then found
guilty, dismiss him as being false to his
oath and unit for the high position he
now occupies as member Of the School

ANONYMOUS COMMUNICATIONS.
Gen. Brady is In receipt OF ~ large
number ofannonymous letters from par
ties proposing to provide him with valu
able information, If he will guarantee
them protection. The knowing ones
say that these letters come from men
who are peaching against their pals
and betraying the mysteries of the ring
to the officials. The General says that
many of these letters are authentic, and
the parties were able to give him some
startling news. He does not like to say
too much about them, because he might
scare the parties who wish to serve him
with this information.
HUSH MONEY.
A rumor was current on Saturday to
the effect that the ring had raised $780,
600 for the purpose Of trying to stop the
crusade and pack juries.
MARSHAL PACKARD
has taken many useless precautions to
prevent the reporters from finding out
what is stirring In his department in re-
lation to the whisky question. He has
taken a pair Of shackles and locked the
railing gate in his Office to keep the
members Of the press from surrepti-
tiously sighting books and papers.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany have not yet surrendered any tele-
grams received by. them sent to men,

says they will do 50 on Monday.

Whacking an Organ.

We have been very reticent OF any
comment on the New Orleans press. It
has long been painfully evident that
some Of its members were ready to sac
riflce the great principles OF Southern
honor, ofredemption OF their State even,
for some purposes hidden from the av-
erage reader. Often Of late we have
been struck with the plain avoidance Of
great questions, by the press Of New Or
leans. When its influence, II exerted
bravely and with that accord which
should ever rise above policy and COM
petitive spite, would have saved the
either remained doggedly silent; or has
sat on the edge OF expressed opinion
like the poor cat / the adage."
We have still refrained from criticism,
even where we had seen traces OF the
tip-tilted tail Of most iniquitously huge
feline under the meal OF more than one
measure. Even fiat statements made to
us by responsible parties, have been
weighed in the scales, with every pos
sible allowance made for political bias.
For it is far from pleasant for us to
bring to the bar OF public contempt an
other journal, especially when it is one
bound to us by the brotherhood of sec
tion and Of putative political affiliation.
But the New Orleans Times has just
laid itself open to such direct and cir
cumstantial charges, that we have no
hesitation in producing them. Mr.. Du-
pre-, OF the Louisiana Legislature, has
opened case for the prosecution which
has. a very ugly look, and the onus OF
disproof OF circumstantial charges falls
upon the Times. Yet that paper, In its
issue succeeding Mr.. Dupre's open
charge and authorities, offers no denial
or disproof OF either. We copy Mr..
Dupre's speech from the New Orleans
Democrat. Mobile Register.

New York, Feb. 5.--A late statemen,
Of Bowen, presented before the Ply
mouth examining committee las'
evening, Is generally considered AZ
adding further complications with
which tho whole scandal case Is en-
vcloped. II has caused somewhat of q
surprise both here and in Brooklyn,
and will doubtless lead to further in.
vestigation. The press, generally,
opinion regarding the weight and i'm.
portance to be attached to Bowen's
statement, until he takes his charge
with greater particularity, are OF the
opinion that it Is document which re.
uuires prompt and full answer on the
part OF the Plymouth Pastor. It Is not
improbable that Bowen's demand for
the committee OF Plymouth Church to
investigate all facts in the case may
lead to another long series OF investiga'
tions similar to those Of last summer.

net. Gen. Crook has been personally
interviewed since the above report
reached here, and the general does not
hesitate TO declare that he has received
no such orders from the Washington
disturb them. While Gen. Crook can
not. in the nature Of things, encourage
invasion of the Hills, he is not disposed
to still the tide Of emigration now pour

whole Black Hills pr oblem will solve
itself without outside interference.

OYSTER SHELLs-These shells arc de-
rived from the minute quantities OF lime
which Is dissolved in sea water, which
amounts to only the one ten thou

weight. But the oyster Is a won

Of drinking like a fish"-drink-
ing like an oyster would be q more ex-
pressive phrase. It is now we'll known
that in testacea there Is continual
current passing forward from behind
within the mantle. Supposing, now,
that the oyster abstracts the whole
Of the carbonate Of lime from the
water passing through in, which is
highly improbable, the quantity OF
water required to furnish an oyster
shell would be something like fifty thou
sand times the weight Of the shell. The
quantity is very interesting when we
compare it with what man imbibes.
In lifetime OF seventy-five years,
it Is computed that man would not
pass through his body more than one
thousand times its weight or water. An
oyster In the same time would have got
through many thousand times the
quantity required by the most thirsty
mortal, notwithstanding the difference
of their bulk.
