view the body of an unknown white man
who had died the preceding night at Es-
neault's Picayune saw-mill, half mile

suited from natural causes-malarial fever
and diarrhea-hence he deemed it unaec-
essary to empannel a jury. Nothing was

stranger to all whom the Coroner iuterro-
gated on the subject. the remains were

English tragedienne, Claire Scott, support
ed by strong company, will appear in two
of her finest characters, Leah, in the Jewish
Outcast, and Queen katherine, in Shake
speare's drama, Henry Will Tho compa-
ny is frst-class and merits full house. A
Texas paper, the Dennison Gate city, says:
very large audience assembled at the Opera
House last evening to witness Henry VIII, with
Claire Scott as Queen Katherine. She won
golden opinions and was called before the cur
tain several times, She is equally felicitous in
the expression Of hatred, scorn, love or ven
Grafton. True in conception and able in delin-
cation, she shone out with great brilliancy and
power Her impersonation of the difficult
character was vivid and true to life, and she
was thoroughly equal to the emergencies at ey-
cry point. She grew gradually eloquent and
soul stirring as the play progressed, and exhib-
tied the highest style of acting. Claire Scott is
a lady of commanding appearance and fine fig
ure. She possesses well trained voice Of pow
erful volume and reads excellently. In fact,
she is an actress of superior talent and has q
bright future. She was admirably supported
by Mr.. y. X. Coburn and strong company.
