A SHARP TRICK-A lady residing in
the First ward has cook who has
been in her employ for many years and
is her custom to give the cook Il weeks
vacation every summer. The cook, on
taking her leave of absence last week,
asked that if she should want Il dollar
or two on account of the current
months wages, could she get it, and
being answered ailirmatively, she took
her departure. On Thursday last, de-
string to 90 on an excursion, she called
= colored girl and instructed her to so
TO the house of her employer and ask
the lady TO send her a dollar. John
Henry Coleman, alias Dodson, a saddle
colored denizen of Vinegar Hill, hear
ing the message as given to the girl,
HE'D as rapidly as his legs could carry
him TO the house of the lady and deliv-
cred the request of the cook. The lady
unsuspectingly gave him the money
and he departed. A short time after
wards the colored girl arrived with the
message and was informed that the
money had already been sent. The
cook subsequently appeared and, being
informed of the facts, went in quest OF
the boy, whom she found on the eXcrr-
sion boat indulging in cigarettes, etc.
Being accused of the theft he first de
MED and then admitted it. John
Henry is evidently first class candi-
date for the chain gang.

DISTURBANCE AT THE SHIPYARD.-
Some excitement was occasioned III the
neiphborhood of the shipyard, at the
roof of Franklin street, this morning
by the disorderly conduct of some ne
gro Iaborer5 employed in the construc-
ton of the electric railway between
This city and Mount Vernon. y APP
pears that many OF this class, realizing
The fact that the contractors have sup
ulated to finish the work OF grading
the road in specified time, have taken
advantage of every opportunity ~ re-
tard progress. and Messrs. wood
bridge & Turner, the contractors, nave
been caused trouble on several occa-
sions recently. On Thursday IL barge
load ofrais for the road arrived at the
dyke on the opposite side OF Hunting
creek. which the negroes refused to I'm
load unless they We're paid - a day.
The contractors had employed these
men some weeks ago nj $i.23 per day,
but Of late had been paying them $l.32.
The demand of the strikers was refused,
aud about forty Of them were dlschar5-
ed. and told to come TO the Office tins
city this evening and get pay for the
time they had made This morn
ing the strikers appeared in body at
ahe shipyard. where the office Of the
company is located, and demanded the
money due them. They were told
icy could get it i'll the evening when
tbe other hands would be paid oil:
This G;dn'5 seem to satisfy them, and
thev loitered around the premises, at
first sullen. then abusive, and finally
hell:cose. so n,ueh so that two OF the
holder ones reached for the bride OF
the horse attached cthe buggy in which
Mr.. Kibbe, the paymalter, was seated.
That gentleman made Il movement as
though about to draw pistol, when the
two men backed away fror the '"uSgy.
The negroes, however, continued Ia OH
disorderly conduct, and ii was thought
prudent to telephone for the police. \

Smith, soon arrived and arrested two OF
the ringleaders, who will be arraigned
before Mayor Strauss at s O'Clock to-
night. Though the affair proved to be
trivial it occasioncd considerable excite
ment for time, the squad ofpoicemen
moving rapidly through the streets caus-
ing some to suppose riot was either in
progress or imminent, and all sorts of
alarming rumors were circulated in the
lower part of the city.

ANCIENT ROMAN AUTHORS.
Medallions Of Heratfus and Virgil Lately
Unsarthed in Pompeii.

Medalifons OF Heratfus and Virgil Lately
Unsarthed in Pompeii.
Lovers Of literature will be interested
in the recent discovery in a small house
of the buried city of Pompeii OF two me-
dallions representing respectively Horace
and Virgil. The death of Horce occurred
eight years before the Christian Era and
that Of Virgil ten years earlier, while the
date Of the destruction of Pompeii by the
eruption Of Vesuvius is A. D. 20.
Hence the portraits are not contempor-
airy, though they cannot be placed very
long after the age of the poets. But
although they are in that respect only
fancy portraits, M. CASTOR Boissier has
pointed out to the French Academic des
Inscriptions that they have distinct re-
semblance to the miniatures of Horace
and Virgil given in the manuscripts OF
the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
The Pomp eiian medallions are only of a
very mediocre character when regarded
solely from an artistic standpoint This
very fact strengthens the idea of a con-
tinuous artistic tradition as to the bodily
presentment of the two poets The Pom
peiian artist and the monastic scribe
could have had no direct connection, but
they may easily have derived their figures
from a common source
Another point of interest is to see the
popular criticism within less than GEN.
fury after their death, linking together
Horace and Virgil. How enduring their
fame is may be realized if we remember
THAT now, after the lapse of nineteen CEN
turtles, they have more readers and adj
mirers than at any preceding period. 1t
is TO be feared that few of the literary
regulations of modern ages will with
stand so successfully the cankered tooth
of Tune"
