A country darby named Osborne
Morris, with ten dollars in his pocket
and blooming innocence in his heart,
strolled out to hat picturesque locali-
ty known as Charleston Hill, late yes
terdsy evening, in search of amuse-
ment. He soon found it. The genial
Jack Smith, also gentleman Of color,
accosted him and begged the loan Of
ten dollarsto use a few moments. o.
borne said he wasn't a betting man,
and did not like to lend his money for
that purpose. Jack adorned his face
with his most pious smile and replied
that he did not bet either, and would
not if he wanted to, as his wife strong

smooth palaver, Osborne reluctantly
relinquished his cash, or rather agreed
to bet it on three card monte. He
lost sight Of his man and his money a
few seconds afterward.
Officers jackson and Stewart heard
of the affair, got a warrant, and kept a
sharp lookout. They caught sight Of
him on the corner of St. Martin and
Huling Streets. and at once gave
chase. Jack took a short cut to a
little one-story grocery on the corner
and, making his way to the loft, stood
on the trap door to keep it down. A

ARoUT GAME.
And the Hind We Have lustN Now.

The game market has been rather
poorly supplied for some time past, the
~lateness ofthe season, with raisy wealth
er, causing slack receipts. Yesterday,
however, a shipment of several hun
dred ducks came in from up about
Reelfoot lake somewhere. The lot
was purchased by a retail dealer, and
an Investigation Of the variety dis
closed the following features Of inter
est: There were a few pairs Of cans
vas-backs in the bunch. large
fat and juicy, a g~ray-lOoking bird
weighing three pounds each and worth
a dollar a head. Only a few dozen Of
this species have been seer in this
market during the season. Their rarity
and fine flavor renders them much
sought after by epicures. Mallards
are more plentiful and worth seventy
five cents a pair. The male birds have
green heads, and both sexes are very
desirable eating. The small teal duck
are also favorites, and sell at from
thirty to sixty cents a pair. They
are fine for broiling. The wood
or butter duck are worth fifty cents a
pair. They have black heads with
alternate stripes Of white and black
on their bills, and make a good
dinner. A lot of gray ducks, weigh
ing perhaps two pounds apiece, were
In the bunch and sell three for a dol
lar. A few spoon-bills were also to
be seen, and lovers of duckAesh never
turn up their noses at a spoonful. No
didappers or ish-ducks were visible,
and those who know one duck
from another, unless very hungry,
never care a copper for this sort. A
little fresh venison is to be seen in the
market, selling at 124 to Is cents per
pound in a small way. Quail come in
small shipments, and are bought three
for 90 cents. Snipe also arrive in
more plentiful, quantities selling at Is
cents each. Wocdcock are scarce and
sell at 30 to so cents each
according to size and condition.
Prairie birds have been very scarce
all the season, but two dozen having
been seen here at any time. A good
enc is worth four bits, when it is to be
found. In the way of fish we are just
now enjoying a fair supply Of the
splendid red snapper, caught in the
gulf Of Mexico, near Pensacola, also
shad from the Savannah river, the
former worth 12a cents a pound and
shad from 60 to 70 cents for a fish
weighing from three to FIVE pounds.
A shipment Of Lake Erie salmon ;
alSo perch from Reelfoot are expected
here to-day. The latter will doubtless
command II or Is cents a pound. The
season for rabbits is over, but now and
then a squirrel or two may be had by
keeping close watch. The present
weather is decidedly Oppressive in its
effect on all classes of game. Fresh
fish from the salt sea or northern
lakes arrive packed in ice, and are
il splendid order, nc matter how
much rain or fog we have.

fortunes of Mary, who was kept
wandering from prison to prison, dur
ing the last nineteen years of her
career, finally to be beheaded by her
more powerful and equally accom-
plished rival, Elizabeth, afforded the
competent author a fine topic for the
illustration Of his skill as a word
painter, for Mary is regarded on all
sides as one of the most fascinating
characters in history. In the title
role Janauschek has full opportunity
to display her admirable talents, and
the part is set down as one other best.
She gave a finished rendition of it last

with thrilling grandeur. The act IL

PEABODY BILLIARD HALL,
SID COOK, Proprietor.
The most elegant resort for
lovers of the game. GOT
Gov. Porter al a Railroad Man.

Nashville Americana
The selection Of Governor Porter
for the position Of president of the
Chattanooga railroad is one which
promises well for the road and Tor the
state. While he will have to acquire,
in a great measure, the special knowl-
edge necessary, yet his clear and rapid
comprehension and ready business
grasp of any subject he takes hold of
will place him at the head Of the pro.
fession in a very brief time. The field
is the highest that can tempt the am-
bition of any man. THERE'S no politics
comparable to the position ola railroad
president. With the exception Of a
position on the supreme bench, there is
none under the government equal to the
presidency Of a great railroad system,
especially to a man with Governor
Porter's splendid qualifications for
the position, ensuring him occupa-
ton Of the topmost round in the pro-
f%ession. We had expected that he
might be needed in the politics of the
state, but this is the higher field by
far, and, in its permanency and the
power it confers, overtops all the po-
litical positions, while it is field in
which a man can be of equal, of far
greater service to his state than in the
temporary occupation'o of any political
Office. Indeed, it isin such fields, and
out of politics, that our young men
are to find the true field for ambition
hereafter, and we should like to see
Governor Porter, after having en-
ioyed the highest honors the state can
confer, set the example Of seeking
higher honors in the direction of tho
industrial progress Of the state and Of
the south.
