Inquesl.--Crime

Justice Thomas Fleming held an
inquest last night about s o'clock on
the body of a male, coIored, fully
developed infant, found in a water
closet on the Horn Lake road near the
French garden. The house was occu-
pied by a white woman and a colored
woman, the latter discovered the
body. 1t had evidently been killed
by being struck against a wall or hard
substance and had prObably been in the
vault twcnty-four or thirty six hours.
The persons living in the house are
not suspected ofthc crime, for reasons
satisfactory to the jury. The water
closet stands off a distance on a large
lot, and could be reached by outside
parties without being observed from
the house. The jury adjourned to
meet this evening at seven o'clock at
the residence of Nj. Barrel, by which
time it is believed some clue will be
obtained to this dark crime. The
ncighbOrhood is a good one, and the
residents are nearly all white people,
most of whom are considerably excited
over the affair,

HOBBIES AT LEUBRIE's THEATER.

last evening to a good house, and
scored another success. The audience

encOred the performers. Miss Elisa

enviable reputation as a comic artist.
covered herself anew with laurels.
N. z. Goodwin, jr., in his character as
Piggy for short, was comically bril-
liant. His dancing alone was sufficient
to commend him to the audience.
There are myriads of mirth provok-
ing passages in the comedy but the
most forcible was in the ~travestry,
during the s%upromely ridiculous
fairy scene, which conyulsed the
audience with laughter. The songs
are well given and make so harmon
ious an impression that dozens of.
people could be heard humming them
as they came out Of the door.
Hobbies will be repeated tonight,
and those in need of a good hearty
laugh should not fail to attend.

The Right to Hiss.

The question of the right of spectator tc hiss peformer or performance periodically crops up in the police courts Actors and man. agers of course resent this manifestation ot adverse opinion, as they dislike unfavorable more than unfavorable criticism. It expresses most physical disgust which cannot be agree able to the objects of it. The act of hissing was perhaps derived from the physical extrusion of some object disagreeable to the lips and palate and a strong feeling of repulsion CT in dignation is applied in it. MT. Vaughan de- cided the other day in case which came be- fore him at Bow street that spectator of a public performance had legally a right to hiss, and that he certainly had right to claim pro- lection from assault on the part of the manager of the performance thus condemned as punishment for his expression of disappro- val A sensible person will very seldom exer- else the right of hissing. He can go away from an exhibition which he dislikes, and unless the feeling which he entertains is so general as to support him in sibilant demonstration against it, he will do better to enter his protest by de- parture rather than vocally. He is bound to consider the comfort of the people among whom he is sitting, whom such an exercise of the right of private judgment often disturbs and annoys. There are two groups of an imals which express their angry feelings by hissing-serpents, which have Q reputation for wisdom, and geese which have name for quality the opposite of wise. A hisser should be quite sure before he indulges in these ex-
 plosive utterances with which of these classes of animals he IS showing the most affinity.
