MYSTERIOUS HEATING.

On last Monday man named J. l.. Scott. a
cooper. employed on Major Miles plantation at
Jeannerettes, New Iberia, was beaten about the
head and had his left arm broken by four men
whom he had never seen before. Two Of them
have since been identified as one O'Ieary and one
Keefe The others have not been found out.
Mr. Scott states that he can give no cause why
he was thus terribly beaten. OLssry aud Keefe

Of their child, or the artist upon his talented rep-
resentatiop OF nature.
In the studio our eyes were particularly sts
trscted by three pieces. One Is q landscape scene
taken In Terrebonne parish, on the borders OF
Bayou Black. Ali who are acquainted with the
country will immediately reooguiz the ast, lux
nriant ground with It's splendid vegetation. and
the cypress trees rearing their lofty fronts from
the background in the distance. The other is
plantation scene, remarkable for life In execution
and accuracy In detail.
II can be labeled Knocking eff werk--an
aged negro man, with spade on shoulder, IL
returning from the field, and by his side walks
STRIPPING carrying . luscious sugar cane. The
artist has admirably succeeded In showing of the
stiffness OF joint In the old mans gait in contrast
with the elasticity Of the boys walk.
Last, but not least, for the painting may be
termed an exponent Of the artists talent for
portrait painting from nature, Ia the venerable
head Of one OF our old and wel-known citizens,
standing out. as II were, life-ike from The cam
vas. This painting Mr.. Julio intends 10 keep on
exhibition for some time In his studio, and we
are authorized to invite the public to come there
and see it. The likeness is perfect, and the
artists brush has admirably shewn out the
various textures Of The face the tones, II we may
use the expression, of fsshiness, and where the
bone shows bard under The polished skin.
II is evident that Mr.. Julio has taken all his
lessons from nature, and copies the eternalIy
beautiful mother Of art with the enthusiasm Of o
devotee. He calls this last portrait lie Creole
and is anxious that 1t should be seen. We advise
visit to the studio, just by way of a treat that
pays and costs nothing

AMUsEM ENTs.

AcAxEMY or MUsrc.-~Among the most success
full novelties which have been presented on the
American stage, the comedy Of Lemons" ac-
cording to our Northern exchanges, IL reported
to be one Of the st. The play 10 an adoption
from the Germsn OF Julius Rosen. At the Fifth
Avenue, in New York, it has proved an attraction,
and hence very profitable, and the same may be
said OF " Lemons" RS produced under the super
vision Of Moyicker in Chicago, The press has
praised 1t very highly, and say that the dialogue
is clever and humorous, devoid OF anything that
can offend the most fastdous, ana that the plot
is interesting from the beginning to the end.
The management Of the Academy, DESTROYS of
satisfyiDg their patrons, inform us that they have
determined to celebrate the closing week OF the
regular season In BETTING manner, and will
therefore present Lemons" with all the mag
nifcence the Academy is capable OF, and with the
most careful attention to details and effect. The
leading members Of the Academy company will
be in the cast.
On Monday, the 23d inst, the complimentary
testimonial to Manager Bidwell will take place,
when it ia fair to suppose that something new
and extraordinary will be produced at the
Academy.
Healey's Irish Ministries have been doing good
business EVER since they opened at st. Pstrick's.
Tine indications are that the same success will
attend them during the remainder OF their short
season In this city. The ertainment this even
ing, besides the first part, which consists entire
OF songs and dances, will comprise the unrolliug

mems Of his lingering on that instrument, and
May Ten Brock will sing Kathleen Mavour-
neeL," ballad which will never grow old, and
which she sings eharmingly.
The entertainment will include with 8 grand

FOULLY MURDERED.
The Body Of n Man Found ON the Lake
shore shot Through the Heart.
No Clue to the Perpetrator.

NO Clue to the Perpetrator.
At twenty minutes past o'clock last night the
body Of O. schweigert was found Dead lying on
Of a mile from the shellroad, at the new Lake
End, shot through the heart.
At first it was thought that The unfortunate
man had committed suicide, but after taking q
view Of the sur roundinss, and linking gether the
evidence, the police came to the conclusion that
the man had been foully murdered, and that the
perpetrator Of the crime had tried in q most
clever manner to cover up his bloody work, and
make 1t appear as IL schweigers had destroyed
himself.
A Dem ocRAT reporter visited the scene and
viewed
THE BODY OF THE MURDERED MAN.
BE was living on his back at the place above
described. and on his breast was large SIZE
navy Colts revolver, No. 1856 927; his right hand
clutohed the stock Of the pistol, while his left
grasped the BARREL
The p,s oil was examined and it was discovered
that three of the chambers were empty, that the
cylisder Of the pistol revolved from left to right
and that the empty cartridges were on the right
side. II Was further noticed that the hammer
was between caps.
This was a chain OF cireumstantiai evidence
which showed conolusively tx ct the man had been
murdered and that the murderer had not only
placed the weapon ia the deceased's hand, after
killing him, but had tempered with it.
THE BODY
presented CORY spectacle. 1t was lying
near the lake shore. the iegs wide apart and the
feet almost touching the water.
From the concussion in falling blood oozed
from the ears, nose and mouth, and - the N BON

OUR ARTISTS STUDIO.
A Flying visit to JuIi0's Gallery Of 4


As it is chroniclers duty to inform the
public OF everything that is going on, we have
taken the liberty. presumiDg upon the vell-known
courtesy and gentlemanly freedom Of an artists
hospitality, to pay visit to MIR. Juios studio. on
Csrondelet street.
Our reporters never fail to chronicle the per-
formances at theatres and concerts, and we
therefore thought that sister ars--that Of paint
ing--should not be let alone, to speak in q Dun
drearv way, to sflnp away all in corner by
ITSELF" and ought to be brought before the public
in honorable mention. We may be bulldozed
to-day on the streets by melomaniacs for saying
so. but we sincerely believe that the poetry Of
form, color and indicated motion Is ct least equal
to the poetry Of sound.
1t is useless to say that Mr.. Julio received US
and showed us around with courtly amiability.
aud that our eyes feasted on the mos. exquisite
expressions OF form and color, gathered by the
artist from ell parts Of the world in his meander-
ings and researches in pursuit Of art.
The first object that strikes the sight is in the
art gallery, and that is the dne painting by Mr..
Julio, Of the meeting between Lee and Stonewal
jackson. As most .verybody knows that painting
will say very little about it, We cannot pass it
over, however, without complmenting the artist
upon the life that he has infused anew into this
repre-. entation Of the two deceased heroes, and
the life-like fire and movement Of their horses.
As patriot and plsyed-out rebel, we had to
mention Lee and Ja.k sos before anything else,
but we consider the "Plfferarc," or italian bag.
piper, as superior in point If art. The Italians
soul seems to be entirely blended in sounds'that
one almost seems to hear i.su,ng from the inssru-
ment, and al the surroundings and appurte-
nances are in perfect keeping.
In this art gallery We also noticed, among other
works OF AR, An ideal crayoD portrait Of the
child, - the artist informed n. Of one Of our
prominent fellow-ciisens. We ecarcely know who
y compliment more. The parents upon the beauty

DR. Hall relates the case Of man who
was cured OF his biliousness by going
without his supper and drinking freely
OF lemonade. Every morning, says the
Doctor, this patient arose with won
derfui sense OF rest and refres hment,
and feeling as though his blood had been
literally washed, cleansed, aud cooled
by the lemonade and the fast His
theory is that food can be successfully
used as a remedy for many diseases.
This treatment might do for persons
who require acids, but another, appar-
emily as strong and healthy, it would
kill in a week. Lemons and other acid
fruits are healthful to some persons and
almost rank poison to others. Hence it
is folly to advise their indiscrimina:e
use. Let every person determine for
himself what kind suits his own stomach
best, for it will tell him soon and if he
does not heed this mentor, he deserves
TO suffer, as thousands do, from over
indulgence i'll those things which tickle
the palate while destroying the health.
The too free use and indulgence in acid
fruits have done more to make Ameri
cans race of dyspeptics than any thing
else; but our physicians do not seem to
have looked in that direction for the
rapid increase of this prevalent and an
moving disease. 1t might seriously in
iure their trade il they did.

CHIMNEY SoOT.-Chimuey SCOT is
very powerful manure applied at the
rate OF one pound to the rod; it abounds
in ammonia, and consequently possesses
stimulating power in remarkable de-
gree. Too much SCOT per rod will drive
vegetation beyond what is desirable.
One part of SCOT and two of guano
possess more stimulating ammonia than
any other proportionate quantity of any
other manure extant. SCOT forms an
exceedingly rapid stimulant for peas,
lettuce. carrots spinach, and most crops,
IN liquid state at the rate Of half an
ounce to two quarts of water given so
as to soak down to the roots. ALWAYS
give SCOT while the plant is in an active
state. Most houses make SCOT enough
to manure whole garden for the year.

To FLAVOR WITH LEMoN.-The white
part of lemon should never be used
for hayoring. 1t is bitter. The globules
of oil in the surface of the rind contain
all the pleasant flavor oc the peel. This
should be thinly pared off. Some ex-
perienced cooks rub loaf sugar over the
surface. The friction breaks the oil
ducts and the sugar absorbs the oil.
The sugar is atterward pounded fine for
favoring certain dishes, such as ice
creams, ETC., or it can be simply melted
in custards and beverages.
