Another genius has devised still moretak-

sand colored babies, which he proposes to
put on exhibition, at once. He has divided
them up among the States, and intends
having them from all over the South. He
pays travelling expenses to and from the
city, and expenses while here. Pc could get
his two thousand from New York Alone
but the point in the exhibition IS, to snow
the raw material from the South, as well
as those who have been favored with the
civilizing influences Of the Irish, Italian
and Chinese residents Of this city. 1t will

their mothers, viii make a show such as

TIE BABY SHOW.


The sensation for this week is the baby
show. The prizes offered for babies, the
leanest. the fattest, the hsndsomest, the
ugIiest-there were no entries under this
class. The finest pair of twins, the finest
triplets, all kinds in fact, have not been de-
cided yet The stimulated mothers are
still bringing to the hall all sorts of babies,
and very funny show it is. There are
now four sets Of triplets, and ugly little
specimens they are; and two more sets
have been discovered and captured for use.
Singular as it may seem, the hall has been
thronged for days, and mostly by women.
Mothers who have lost their children come
in throngs, as if the sight of living child
ren was. in some sense, consolation for
their loss. The babies stay from ten in the
morning till eleven at night, and as the hall
is crowded all the time, they are having a
hard time Of it. II is a sensation.

After thorough examination and dlilgent
inquiry into the circumstances attending the
killing of ID. A. Weber, the Coroners jury
arrived at the verdict that deceased came
to his death by buckshot fired by two or
more persons unknown"
A tragedy of assassination has been
succeeded by the farce of investlga-
ton, and the performance is over for
the present. If we judge the future
by the past, in due time the curtain
will rise again and the same dreary
routine be repeated in one or another
of the sections of our State where
political prejudice has overridden the
laws of God and man, and the violent
elements of the community hold un'
disputed sway. The creatures who
stood within public building in the

escape punishment forever-if Their

During the latter part of February
little steamboat running from New
Orleans up Bayou Macon, found it
impossible to navigate the latter
stream by reason of the low water,
and stored her cargo in a warehouse
near the mouth of the bayou, in the
parish of Franklin. Under cover OF
night patty of half a dozen colored
men broke into the warehouse, and
after securing such of the contents as
they desired, set fire to the building,
which, together With she freight, was
totally destroyed. The thieves were
tracked and arrested, two af their
number confessing the crime i>-- i'm

after the capture party of men took
four of the culprits to the woods and
hung them near the scene of the rob
berry.
