have drawn full house every night and
nroduced tho widest enthusiasm whenever
thew appeared and disappeared. They sing
dance and act with a vivacity, graceiulness
and .naturalness which would do great
credit to grown professional actresses OF
years experience; they are refined, too' IN
every word and act, and while they com
pei the profoundest admiration Of the audi
ence, they also prove beyond doubt that
they are possessed of mental qualities
which amount to more than the ordinary,
and which are natural gift, not acquired.
This week they produce, besides number
of novel and attractive little acts, sketch
In which each assumes the characters OF
youthful lovers and Of aged parents, and no
good Judge of character acting, who sees
them in this sketch, will deny that they
possess rare talent and are much superior
to the average grown variety performers. 1t
w. A. Ross, the Indian:(D, was still
lanquishing the county Jail yesterday.
During his presence in the city he had
been lodging with negroes near the corner
of Fifth street and.Commercil avenue,
where he now owes two dollars and half,
not having paid cent during his stay
there. Officers Martin and Mahany, who
arrested Ross, made search for the envelope
which had been so well cared for and had
done such good service, and found it care
fully stored away by the colored hostess
ofRoss' boarding house, to whom Ross had
given il with instructions not to allow it
10 get out OF her sight for moment. The
woman obeyed the instructions strictly un'
Ill the officers called for the envelope. The
officers opened it and found --greenbacki
No. Certificates of depositi Nothing of
the kind. Government bondsi We guess
rot. But they found an old railroad map,
nicely folded to fit the envelope and-noth-
Ing more. Ross claims to be an Odd Fell
low. aoi under TINS pretense saught to gain
the courts leninency; he may be an Odd
Fellow or he may not be; but that he IS
cunning scoundrel does not admit of doubt
il ,ne face of the evidence he has furnish
ed. It is also evident from the fact that
he waived an examination and thus lett the
prosecuting attorney in the dark as to the
defense he intends to make at the trial,
tina, be has been involved in the meshes
of the law before this and has profited by
his former experience.
1t should be borne in mind by citizens
generally, that all the propositions so far
made by the subcommittee of five to the
narrow guage railroad Company would not
ii accepted by that company, compel it to
Internationally abandon its right Of way,
or to incur any expense thatit would not
have to incur in order to enter the city and
maintain constant connection without any
interference whatever from any source. If
the company accepts the subcommittee
first proposition, to build an additional ten
foot cmbankmcns:, abutting the outer slope
of the city's levee, it will retain its right of
way inside, may use either this
right of way or the embankment aforesaid,
and, in case it builds and uses the
embankment, will not have to
do any more filling than would
be necessary on its present right of way.
II it accepts the sub.committee's second
proposition, to build thirty foot embank-
ment abuttiug the inner slope Of the city's
levee, it will surrender its present right OF
way, but will receive another in lieu of it,
close to the levee, will have the protection
of the city's levee aud will have to do very
little, if any, more filling than will be
necessary to insure it constant running ia.
cilities on its present right of way. An
other little point should not be lost sight Of
namely, that, Grandmother Argus and Col.
Whitehead to the contrary notwithstanding,
the companys present right OF way did
not cost it one single cent, except for i'm
provements and taxes. President White,
heads statement to the subcommittee, that
the company paid Col. Taylor sixteen thou.
sand dollars for said right Of way is acom-
plete, though perhaps, an "innocent," pre-
varication of the truth. The company
paid something like sixteen thousand dol
lars for its present depot grounds, in the
lower portion of the city, and something
like fifteen HUNDRED dollars as BACK TAKES
on the said right Of way, which Col. Tay-
lor had paid Cor the bankrupt company in
order to save the ground from the annual
sheriff sale. Thus it will be seen that
the narrow gauge company can, without
any sacrifice TO itself, accept and carry out
either Of the propositions, even without aid
