ty Dumpty Troupe has drawn the largest and
most fashionable audiences in all of the large
cities, according to press reports, and we have no
doubt but what he will be greeted with good
house here. His company is composed Of the
leading artists in the profession and the paRto-
mime is put on the stage with all the mechanical
and scenic effects used In our larger cities. John
Denier, as Humpty Dumpty, is recognized as the
best clown on the pantomime boards, and he is
also an excellent general performer Miss Lula
Wentworth and Miss Connie HRnlon also deserve
notice In their songs, dances, banjo solos, &c, We
quote the following from the, Allentown, Pa,

ALEXANDRIA.

Observation-Disclosures trial of Frank j. Olden
for intermarry1ng with one Millie Motley,
negro woman, came up In the corporation court
this morning. The facts proved upon the trial
are as foIloWs:-FTank j. OldeD, who has been
engaged on q long boat plying between Occo-
guam, Alexandria and Washington, left the city
Of Alexandria on the 22d day OF July, 1879, and
went to washington city and was there mar
ried to Mile Motley. After the marriage the
couple returned to this city, where they have
resided ever since. There was an effort made
on the part OF the defence to prove that Olden
was q negro man, but this failed. The fury,
after short deliberation, returned into court
and rendered the following verdict:-"We, the
jury, find the prisoner guilty and TX his term Of
imprisonment In the penitentiary at three
years." 1t VIII be remembered that Millie Mot
ley was convicted the other day for intermar-
Iyfng with OIden.

Editor Stdr:-Permit me to ask through the
medium OF THE STAR, why the brick pavement
on NJ and 10th streets northwest has been left
in an unfinished condition so long, and when
we may expect 1t will be finished. | refer to the
ragged edges of the pavement surrounding
streets Besides appearing unsightly and in
complete. the bricks become loose, are kicked
about and lost, and after dark the loose bricks
and holes do not make the best walking for pc
destrians as was nearly thrown down few
evenings since in passing over one of the
broken places In the pavement on NJ street, near

The bricks taken away from where the trees
now stand must have been quite large num-
