Samuel q, Shedd,

Mr.. Samuel s. Shodd, of No. 400 Ninth
street northwest furnishes a striking in
stance of what pluck and attention to busi-
ness will accomplish. Although one of our
youngest merchants he has already estab.
lished large patronage and his house ranks
among the first in the city. From his well
assorted collection one can purchase the
plainest or most elaborate gas fixtures, la
trobes, ranges, mantels, lamps, and all such
things in his line as arc essential to we'll
arranged dwelling. Mr.. Shedd is a native of
Washington, and enjoys among all who know
him the reputation of doing honest work at
fair prices. He has lately devoted great
deal of attention to the newest and best pat
ents in gas burners, globes and portable
lamps which he displays in great profusion.

NOT TO BE DIsBANDED.
What sIr. DuH Says OF the Rumors About
His Opera Company.

What Fir. Dun Says OF the Rumors ABOUT
His Opera Company.
II has been freely talked in musical and
other circles that Du6's Opera company would
bo disbanded at tho end of this week, and the
managers original plans be altered. The fact
that Miss Juoh and Miss Barton and
Campobello have not appeared in the cast this
week was commented on as evidence of the
alleged fact of disbanding. To give the pub
lie the facts, and to do the manager justice, a
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN representative called
last night on Mr. Duff, and bluntly inquired
If tho rumor was true.
"Not particle of truth is in It," said Mr..
Duff, emphatically. "As to Misses Juch and
Barton, and Signor Campobello being absent
from the cast, have only TO say that they arc
drawing pay just the same as If they were
singing. Miss Juch has been in Washington
ten or twelve days. Mr.. Harvey left the COM
pany six weeks ago. The salaries are all paid
promptly, and / refer as TO that matter to
every member Of the company. The fact is,
/ concluded some time ago to devote myself
to comic opera, as it paid better, and seemed
more acceptable to the majority of the
people. My entire company arc pre-
pairing themselves for adaptation to
the change. 1 really had not intended to
come to Washington, but at the last moment
changed my mind. After this week shall
go to Philadelphia and keep the Arch Street
theater for o couple of weeks. The fact is,
shall not try italian opera any more, and in
that resolve am encouraged by my troupe.
ANY such rumor as you mention" con-
tinued Mr.. Duff "must have started from the
fact that Juch, Campobello, and Miss Barton
have not sung here this week. If you look at
my advertisement you will find that they are
said to belong to the company, not that they
would sing in Heart and Hand Tho sing
ers have named are still under pay as mem
bers of my company, aud refor you TO them
as witnesses to what l assert. The cast of
Heart and Hand" is the original New York
cast-the identical cast which made the opera
SO great success. The Washington public
are pleased with it, as may be shown by the
business we have done. You are assured"
concluded Mr.. Duff, that there is no truth
in the rumor you have mentioned"

AhCo Nuch NshcNNtNs
B1RMrNauAsr, ALA, Dec 6,--Tho situation
hore remains unchanged. The exciting
rumors current last night had some founda-
tion. Scouts who were sent outside tho city
observed, at about midnight, as many as ono
hundred armed mon in clump Of woods a
mile from tho city, discussing whether or not
II would be advisable to make an attack on
che Jail in which Wesley PUsoy, charged with
assaulting John Boyle's daughter, is con-
fined. From words caught by eavesdroppers
It was learned that the crowd had been dis
appointed in not receiving expected rein
forccmonts from other quarters. They had
endoavored to excite public feeling in other
towns against the accused, and receiving ex-
pressions Of sympathy from Springville,
twenty miles distant, kilograms were
sent to that place asking that 100
men be dispatched at onco to
Birmingham. Information, however, reached
Springville that tho troops hero had
been reinforced and the crowd that was
about to depart from that place abandoned
their project and dispersed. Judge Sprott
this morning appointed three prominent law
yers to conduct the defense. The trial will
begin at 8 o'clock tomorrow, and some ap-
prehension is felt of a renewal Of the excite
mont.
