A FAILURE INTERPRETED WITH.
Cincinnati Commercial ]

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The publica-
ton of Marshal Packard's little pro-
gramme for firing the Northern heart
has interferred somewhat with its exc
cution, although it is noticed that he
manages occasionally to get in his work
by consultations with the disaffected
wherever he goes. One part Of the pro.
gramme which has been abandoned
has just come to light. 1t was
that he and Kellogg. with Twitchell
and few others, should come to Wash
ington to intercede with the President
on behalf Of ex-Judge Dibble ard ex-
Auditor Johnson, indicted for defalca-
ton. The purpose was to represent that
the prosecution of these persons was q
persecution on the part Of the Nichols
government, on account Of politics, with
the hope to thereby secure from the
President such interference as would
secure immunity from trial. The
President was. however. advised OF the
scheme by friends Ia Louisiana, and it
WAS abandoned.

that the accounts of all the ex-tax collectors and

The tax collectors, or some of them at least,
are taking the same course, and others signify

sureties OF these individuals are pushing them
forward, and very properly too. as in come of the

The Agricultural CnIlege.

Grunewald Hall, last night, was alive with
anxious parents, Big brothers and pretty sisters,
and amiable cousins, who braved the threats Of
the rising Thermometer to witness the pr
formances Of the boys of the Louisiana State
Agricultural and Mechanical College. The va
rious exercises were gone through by the stu
dents in a very creditabls manner, showing
that great deal of pains had been
taken by the teachers to educate the
children, and that the latter had well responded
in the way of intelligence aud application to
study. The programme OF the evening CON-
prised all the usual school exercises, declama-
tons, essays and recitations in English and
French. Some practical experiments in
chemistry were gone through with great success,
and the evening closed with the award Of medals
to merltorious stuaents.

LIE ROI DE LAHORE.
The Eastern Legend On which the New
Opera Is Founded,


The opera which is making such SEN
sation in Paris, sic Roi de Lahore" is
founded upon q beautiful legend but
little known. An Eastern prince loved
fair maiden Of the Himalayas, but had
to wait ten years.. till the conclusion of
war, ere he could marry her. AS he
was proceeding to claim her hand he
was killed by q flash Of lightning and
descended to purgatory, where he sub
mitted to the usual tortures in order to
insure his eternal felicity in heaven.
AS he arrived at the gates Of paradise
be thus addressed the angel who was
awaiting hisarrival: MAY return to
the world for an hour to see the one l
love 80 much % ''Thou may'st, faith
full heart" the angel answered; "but
that hour will cost thee 10000 years OF
torment such as thou hast just endured"
The lover closed instantly with the offer
and fled to the earth to find his beloved
whispering to another lover the vows OF
eternal and immortal constancy she
had once breathed to him. He returned
to purgatory, but was met at the gates
by the angel, who said to him Go
straight to heaven! What thou hast
just seen is more frightful than 10000
years Of weeping and crashing OF teeth. J"

THE PROPHETS BIRTHDAY.
The Grand Manner In which 1t was Cele

The Grand Manner In which 1t was Cele-
brated at Cairo.
The birthday of the Prophet, which
comedies with hereturn Of the pilgrims
from Mecca, was celebrated this year at
Cairo with the Evolutionary doich, or
passage Of the mounted imaum over the
bodies of the faithful. These, being for
the most part of the very humblest
classes camel and donkey drivers,
grooms, runners and fellahs-had been
drugged with hasheesh and excited to
religious frenzy by the attendant der
wishes. These packed them closely,
face downwards to the number Of some
300, in long line on the roadway, and
over this human pavement the imaum,
mounted on white horse, rode for
quarter of an hour, amid the frantic
yelling of versest Of the Koran by the
attendant priests. There were the usual
and natural casualties-arms broken,
skulls fractured and ribs caved in, and
some fifteen of the worshipers went or
will 90 to Paradise.

Jno. Burns, alias Yorker, newsbov, was last
evening arrested corner OF Franklin and Poydras
streets and locked up in the Central Station by
Officers Phillips and Peters, charged with being
drunk and resisting the officers When the boy
was brought to the station he was full Of blood
and suffering from wound in the left side of the
head. When questioned, he stated that Officer
Peters had struck him on the head with club.
The Off GER, when Intercepted, did not den
having dubbed the youth, but stated that the
boy had resisted him.
This clubbing business was carried on by the
Metropolitan Police on large scale, but now
that the Crescent City Police fierce is an exem-
plary force the commanding officer should see
that any policeman who so far forgets his duty as
to wantonly club prisoner while conveying him
to prison should be sent before the board.

by which the Thieves Did Not Make a
Fortune.
On the 10Th inst. at about 10 o'clock at night,
on Gravier street, between st. Charles and
Camp, a man named John Holiday was assaulted
by three highway robbers, named, respectively,
Richard Joyce, Richard Houghton and Jacob
Millbank.
One Of the three robbers dealt Holiday tell
ing blow on the tlead with sluugshot or some
other blunt instrument, which felled him to The
earth In a senseless condition.
After they had their victim in their power, they
went Through him. and took all the money he
had In his pockets, which amounted to eighty
cents.
After securing the money they beat hasty
retreat.
On the day following the robbery, Holiday
appeared before Judge Smith aud swore out an
AFFIDAVIT
against the three parties above named.
Warrants were Issued for their arrest, but
owing to the thermometer being 80 in the shade,
ii took the court officers week to capture two OF
the robbers Richard 10 ce and Richard Haugh-
ton. Mlllbank is still at large
The two hghwavmen, who were caught, were
brought before Judge Smith and released en-
$500 bonds each TO appear on July I'd.

the merited reward Of the student who has given
his soul aud body to work and the due relax alton
owed to the youthful mind that has been kept
busy. It liz relaxation and recreation also for the
poor teachers, who, day by day. have during the
weary year toied ct the pulpit, striving to ncul-
