And when got home to Northfeld, in

saying, "My dear wife passed away to

Editors of the Dispatch: In your paper
OF the 21st inquiry is made by physician
what is the agreement by the city with GER
tain apothecaries to furnish medicine for
the poor by prescriptions. Being one Of
the four appointed to fiji such, I will inform
him. The agreement is to compound them
for ten cents apiece when the patient fur
nisbes the vial, il they are endorsed by the
physician. If he fails to do so we are not
responsible for the trouble and inconye-
nience it puts the patient to. II the charge
made with the inquiry refers to any special
one who has not complied with the agree
ment, and he is sufficiently interested in the
welfare Of his patient to put himself to the
trouble to ascertain the truth in the c6se,
he can get it to his entire satisfaction.

DR.. BRoADus m NEW YoRE.-Speaking to
the Baptist ministers on intellectual and
other stimulants Yesterday the Rev. DR.. John
A. Broadus, OF Richmond, Va, said: "I I
hope none Of you use alcoholic stimulants
IN order to assist you to originality in your
sermons. They do that in Germany now,
and our fathers and our grandfathers did it.
II you do use such things-and am not
here to say that it is wrong-when you sit
down on Saturday night to write your ex-
temporaneous sermon land I do hope I am
not treading on anybody's cornsl, II you
think you ought to use more OF them then
than ut any other time" The clergymen
all laughed. and DR.. Broadus then recon-
mended intellectual stimulants, such as
books that suggest and inspire thought.
For himself, he said that he found Plato,
Aristotle, and Lord Bacon very suggestive
authors; he couldn't make any progress
when reading them, because they suggested
SO many things to think about.-Ne,o Yort

The ladies of the church propose at an
early day to put new cushions and carpets

have in bank over $1,000 for that purpose,
and expect to hold a fair next month, from
the proceeds OF which they hope to realize
enough to accomplish their object.

THE SATTER MATINEE

The SATTER MATINEE. Gustaye Sat-
ter gave another exhibit i bis mastery
powers ut the matinee yesterday, and we
are glad to say he was greeted by large
and appreciatiYe audience. It bears us out
in the opinion that ours is music-loying
people, and are ever ready to accord to true
merit the support and praise it deserves.
The concert was beautiful in every par
ticular, the appointments were perfect, and
DR.. Satter was most ably assisted by Mrs.
Reinhardt. Professor Jacob Reinhardt, and
DR.. P. Peters.
It were presumption on our part did we
attempt to criticise the mastery execution
and perfect method Of DR.. satter, and yet
in an attempt to do him justice we find our
selves at loss to express in fitting terms
the praise his exquisite handling of the
piano deserves. He received unbounded
applause upon each effort, which culmlna-
ted in his execution OF "National Airs Of
the South -; and we are satisfied that the
warm expression OF appreciation on the
part OF the audience for the last piece was
not so much for any music contained in it
as for the associations connected Herewith.
But for our part we could but feel that it
was a sad fall from the exalted and lovely
compositions which preceded it-an unbe-
coming ending for programme Of so high

AN AUDACIoUs SwINDIER--A NEW Or
LEANS COTTON OPERATORS HIGH-uANDEQ
GAME AT FRAUD.-Ne,o Orleans, February
16.-Carr & Laun about five Months ago
opened business in New Orleans as cotton
operators. Carr was we'll known, but Laun
was entirely new IN business circles of the
city. Carr put $4,000 in money into the
firm; Laun contributed nothing but his
wits, which seemed to be more than an off,
set for Carr's greenbacks. Laun came to
this city about two years ago, fresh from
Wurtemberg. He had q brief career as q
clerk in one or two commercial houses, with
the interlude OF flying visit to New York.
On his return from New York he made the
acquaintance Of Carr, who had for q few
seasons been operating in Carondelet street,
buying and selling stocks and bonds. Laun
convinced Carr that cotton was the thing t.
90 into, especially rs to cultures" Carr
had an ambition to be a great merchant, and
as the stock market was nearly "played
out" he embraced Laun and his counsel.
Mortimer Carr came to this city from
MARYLAND about ten or twelve years ago.
He first appeared in public life as member
OF the reconstruction Legislature, repre-
scnting the Third Ward Of the city OF New
Orleans. In the next Legislature he repre-
sented the parish OF De Soto, about as far
from New Orleans as he could well get. In
the same Legislature appeared one f. w.
Devices, since dead, between whom and
Carr strong friendship and business
connection was supposed TO exist. Devices
lived in New Orleans and represented
Bienville, at the other end Of the State.
During his legislative career Carr became
rich. He was thrifty and sagacious, but his
fo i'm
when he took up with Laun. The inge-
NOUS youth discovered that bills of lading
are equal to greenbacks. The house had a
branch in Mobile. To this house several
thousand bales Of cotton were shipped from
the interior OF Alabama. The bills
Of lading for this cotton were sold, and also
duplicate bills OF the same forged by
the deXterous Laun TO the amount, as well
as can now be ascertained, Of about $780,
900. With this snug sum Laun decamped,
leaving his friend and benefactor, Carr, in
the lurch. The principal sufferers by the
transaction are the Citizens Bank and the
house Of Seligman, Hellman & Co. It is
not easy to fix the amount OF the losses in
Cured by particular houses and banks, be-
cause they seem to be unwilling to give
specific information. but it is believed that
the cotton covered by the fictitious bills Of
lading equalled 5,100 bales. Carr seems to
have acted honestly enough, and nobody
believes that he was an accessory to the
transa ction. He at once gave up his books
for inspection, and surrendered all the
assets Of the house. These, however, do
not net more than $50,000. Laun has dis
appeared, no one knows whittier. All
those connected with these transactions ap-
pear to be well known except the success

TEE THEATRE LAST NIGHr-MIss AMBER
SON AS PAuLISE.-Allowing for the partial
embargo which the Lenten season imposes
on theatrical amusements, the audience was
an excellent one. The support might have
been better; but Richmond is accustomed
to content itself with single star and 4
very faint surrounding accompaniment OF
satellites.
Though Miss Anderson had been heralded
with all the praise which favorable critl-
cism, backed by a certain sentiment, could
accord, yet it is safe to say that her audience
found her more than up to their eXpecta-
ton; and the play Is SO familiar that popu-
lar criticism may serve as standard.
IL Miss Anderson were thirty years old
she might dread criticism, but being under
twenty she may challenge it. Her faults are
all susceptible Of the correction which she
has the natural taste to administer. She
possesses what is the greatest Of gifts-a
voice OF wide range and exquisite sweet
ness and power. Her figure is tall, 1.-THE,
and elegant; her face beautiful and capable
OF all the changes OF expression which the
actress wishes to command. She acts rather
after her own idea than from any app parent
teaching OF master, and without any
STACEY mannerisms.
AlA WV hAoc AosC oSChC3 auA lbC uC9Sllp~
tion Of the Princes iairy-like abode, Miss
Anderson equals the very finest actresses in
the difficult part Of listening SO long; the
poses and by-play were beautiful and highly
artistic; her whole manner rapturous and
impassioned, but pure and maidenly.
In the fourth act her acting was fine
throughout; pride, grief, and love were ex-
pressed alternately with great effect, and
with the sharp contrasts which show true
artistic skill. The grouping Of the figures
and the general management Of the climax
which closes the act might be much i'm
proved.
Miss Anderson was called before the cur
tain at the fall Of each act, and in bowling
her acknowledgment Of the compliment
each time showed the same dignity and ele-
gance Of manner with which nature helps
her beautiful impersonation OF Pauline.
Mr.. Boniface's Claude Melnotte seemed
to please the audience, and he was fire.
quently applauded.
Tonight Romeo and Juliet will beper-
formed.
