1t is an insunerable nuisance that ladies and
gentlemen cannot have n place ofamusement free
from the annoyance of unmannerly drunken fell
lows. Two young men at the opera house.
Thursday night, created a disturbance by loud
oaihs and bOisterOus conduct. They We're sum-
marily elected, much to the qualification of the
decent people In the house. This species OF
barbarity should be put n stop to.
Marchant in his "Betrothals and Bridals''
suggests the following code OF signals tor
girls . ''a ring on the first finger to denote
poverty and willingness to get married on
the second finger, money and a disposition
TO listen, though nothing is promised; ON
the third finger, ALREADY engaged, and so
you needn't trouble yourself ; on the little
finger, delIberating."
We print, elsewhere, q very well written
communication from one of the colored
"schoolmsrms' OF the city, criticising our
notice OF a scene which occurred at the
courthouse last week. If the assertions
made In the letter are true, which we have
no reason to doubt, the white children who
so far forgot their pOliteness and dignity Us
to wantonly jibe and insult the coIored
children were very much to blame, and
should he ashamed to merit the rebuke
which is properly conveyed in our cores
pondence. We do not blame the colored
people for being annoyed and feeling ag-
grieved at the uncalIed for epithets. On the
other hand We think the s.sch oolmarms''
made q mistake in taking offense at Sheriff
Mountjoy's invitation, which had no inten-
ton of being offensive, when it must have
quest of the lecturer. We have no sympathy
with the brutal instinct which wantonly In
suits any of Gods creatures, but we have
no sympathy, either, with any foolish affec-
~tatIons on the part of people whether color
ed or white.
