A fine audience assembled last night to
greet Mr.. Delabranche in the grand opera
of lies Huguenots." 1t will be remem-
bered that while singing this opera, a little
over two weeks since. Mr.. Delabranche was
accidentally wounded by the premature dis
charge of gun, which nearly resulted in
total blindness. Through the careful atten-
ton of DR.. Formento he has been brought
out of his troubles without any serious con-
sequences.


The public have missed him very much,
and welcomed him last evening with a
warmth that showed their pleasure at see
him again on the boards, and which must
have been gratifying to the artist.


He does not show any marks of powder
on his face, though, We presume, that is the
result OF his make up. His eyes are not yet
strong enough to stand the full glare of the
foot-lights, and the management have
kindly screened them for his sake
He was not in as good voice as on the
night of the accident, but still he sang with
great effect.


The lateness of the hour when the opera
closed prevents our making any extended
notice of the other artists.


Miss Levielli and Madame Durand, in
their respective roles, were very successful
and received the hearty applause of the
audience. Coulon, as Marcel, won new
honors for himself, while Dumestre, in the
role of De Necers, was not at all behind his
usual style, and was encored in that famou,
fourth act.


1t was a very agreeable entertainment
throughout, and now that Delabranche is
himself again, We expect many such in
future,

The following communication, it is under
stood, was sent to the State Senate yester-
day, after that body had adjourned


To the Honorable the Members of the Senate of the


State Of Louisiana:


The undersigned members of the Senate
who have for some time past been absent
from their seats for reasons which will at
proper time be made public, represent to the
members now in session at the State House
that they cannot return TO the discharge Of
their duty SO long as the State House and
it's approaches are guarded by an armed
militia and Metropolitan Police force,
subject to the orders of the executive.
We hold that the two branches of the
State government-tO wit, the executive
and the legislative departments-are sepa-
rate, distinct and independent Of each other,
and any interference by the executive with
the legislative department in surrounding
it with an armed body. thereby preventing
free ingress and egress both of members
and citizens, is usurpation OF power un-
warranted by the constitution and laws of
this State. We can not, without compro-
mise Of our dignity as State Senators, and
a complete surrender Of the rights Of our
constituencies, recognize the unwarranted
and revolutionary interference on the part
of the executive, and will therefore decline
to take our seats until the armed forces in
and around the State Capitol have been re-
moved.


We further represent that Senator Pinch
back is not, nor has he ever been, the legal
President of the Senate, and we refuse to
recognize his authority as such to appoint
sergeants-at-arms for the purpose Of arrest
ing us and compelling our attendance.


We teel constrained, as the legal repre-
sentatives Of free people, to adopt this
course, and refuse participation in or recog-
milton of any act or measure which is revO-
lutiOnary in it's character, threatening, as it
does, the subversion of constitutional gov
ernment and republican liberty.


When these armed forces are removed,
and not until then. will we voluntarily con-
sent to take our seats in your body and

A MUMMIED HUMAN HEAD.-Among the
more interesting collections lately received at
the Smithsonian Institution, in the department
of ethnology, is mummied human head, re-
tanning all the form and features Of life, in.
cluding the hair, lips, &C.. but reduced by some
peculiar process so as not to exceed the size of
an ordinary fist These heads are found among
the Javaro tribes, in the Province of Cbimbo-
razo, in Peru, and are said to be of very great
antiquity, there being no indication of recent
preparation They are believed to be the heads
of enemies slain in battle, and preserved 10 this
way as trophies of victory. The interior of the
head has been entirely emptied of flesh, bones
and brain; and the skin, which alone remains,
by its contraction is thickened to the amount of
more than the eighth of an inch. The lips are
closely compressed, and through them are
strung series of knotted cords, which in their
character call to mind the quipos of the ancient
Peruvians There is also cord which is knot
ted inside of the head, by which it is suspend
ed. No satisfactory explanation of the mode
of preparation has been given, although there
is tradition that it is effected by introducing
heated stones or sand into the cavity after the
removal of the portions of the head referred

Mr.. HEPwoRTH DIXON, in his "History
of William Penn" gives the following
reason for the Quakers' refusal to lift
their hats: with us to raise the hat is
easy we are used to it. Our hats are
made for lifting, and we raise our hats in
cases where our fathers would have bent
the knee. Hat homage is our social
creed. But in the reign of Charles the
Second it was new and strange. A hat
was made to wear, not to carry in your
hand. Men wore their hats in the house
and church, as well as in the street and
park Men sat at meals in felt and lis
tened at play in felt. Hat-lifting, there
fore, was the sign of depraved and
foreign fashion recently brought into
England from abroad. All sober men
put on their hats, while wits and foplings
carried them in their hands. The homely
citizen wore his beaver, and the lord-in-
waiting wore periwig. To wear the
hat was English, and to take it off was

LONDON has always filled for men the
position that Paris does for ladies, and
fashions for the sterner sex inaugurated
there have always found their way out
TO this Western world in the end. The
New York MdI has advices of a change
IN the costume of the London fashiona-
bies which is quite interesting as an indi-
cation of what is coming. The CORE
spondent says: "The style of dress most
worn here by gentlemen of fashion, and
especially noticeable at all fashionable
places of morning resort, is light-col-
fored frock coat, usually drab or gray
+tWilled cashmere or fine angola, rather
long in the waist and skirt, silk breast
facing, and bound with silk ribbon to
match, or a velvet collar, plain facings
and double stitched edges, and to wear
buttoned with three buttons. Waistcoat,
white or striped Marseilles, and trow-
sers of dark blue diagonal or ribbed
"worsted" cloth, with a broad, black mo-
hair braid laid on fiat on the seams. This
is decidedly reversing the order of the
dress, dark coat and light trowsers, to
which the habits of the last few years
have accustomed us, but is nevertheless a
very stylish and effective costume, espe-
cially adapted and certain to be much
worn during the early autumn. A large
-StdHIey,'f OF lieu SallOT RuOL is usually
worn, the made sailors knot appearing to
have got out of fashion Patent leather
| Oxford shoes, with brown striped hose
and buttoned boots of the same leather,
with cloth uppers, are much affected.
Morning coats are made to wear two Oh
even three buttons, buttoned and cut
away sharp from the lowest one, but the
style is very difficult to adapt with good
effect to many figures. The latest styles
of dress coats are noticeable for an entire
absence of all angles, the collar forming q
complete roll, usually faced with silk, The
lower front edge of the forepart, which is
usually made without what is technically
called a ''back strap" and the top and bot
tom of the skirt being slightly and grace
fully rounded off, which gives the coat 6
tighter and more elegant appearance thar
the old styles, and is step toward thai
more appropriate and consistent style Of
evening dress for gentlemen SO much tc

BITTEN BY IT.-The class of people who, in their indulgence of what is called practical joking, seem only to take de- light in making other people as miserable as they can, are sometimes taught good lesson, and never a better one than in the following case On the evening of the Derby day the rollicking occupants of four-horse drag, who had been enjoying themselves on their return from the race course by pelting the crowds of pedes- trians with bags of four, peas and other missiles, pulled up in the Clapham Road for refreshments, leaving three of their number in charge of the vehicle. These three fellows, strangely forgetful that their vehicle was stationary at the time and not aashing along the road safe from all retribution, recommended throwing their flour at the passers-by, and one of the bags happened to strike the wife of a railway porter whose husband was by her side. The latter immediately called on the crowd for assistance, which was readi- Iy given. They dragged the offenders from their seats, ducked them thoroughly in horse. trough which was conveniently at hand, rolled them in the mud, and then-to cap the climax of poetic justice completely covered them with the cen- tents of some twenty bags of flour which were found concealed in the drag for fu- ture amusement. The whole affair did not take more than five minutes, but was most dramatically complete. In this de- lectable condition the young bloods were allowed to resume their homeward jonr- ney, doubtless revolving for the first time in their minds the value of the golden precept, "Do unto others" &c.

Two MARES AT ENMrTY. Thomas Fitzpatrick put his two road mares to the pole early in the spring. As both are good steppers they promised to make q rapid team. Both are 0 little high strung, and each seems to have good opinion of herself. The two were courte- ously polite to each other, but there was no strong display of affection. While gently driving in Central Park one day, the sorrel mare made an awkward step, and cut the bay mare on the ankle. The accident appeared to stir up bad blood. Maddened with pain. the bay mare bit the sorrel, and this act of hostility was quickly resented. The mares now forgot their politeness, and each struggled to inflict as much injury upon the other as possible. On arriving ot the stables and being detached from the wagon, instead of walking quietly to their stalls, they turned upon each other with great fury and engaged in a severe fight. They were separated with some difficulty. But now it is out of the question to drive them together. When they come within sight of each other, the eyes flash and the nostrils snort de- fiance If left to themselves they would surely engage in conflict biGter and re- morseless in the extreme.-I Ihrf, Field and Farm.

NASHVILLE, October 5.-The political
excitement is very high now in Middle
| Tennessee. Cheatham is gaining
strength every day. It is now evident
/ to all men Of any discernment that the
race Is between Cheatman and May
nard, and all who do not desire the elec-
ton Of Maynard will unite on Cheat
! ham. The election Of Radical Mayor
in this city has had the effect Of show
ing the people the danger Of Johnson
ism. What can be JohnsOn's object? Is
it his intention to join the Radical par
ty? He is doing more for Grant than
all the Radical candidates and speakers
in the State. Organization, thorough
and perfect, is the only thing that can
prevent the Radicals from carrying the
Legislature and several of the members
of Congress.


Surely no man in your portion Of the
State who does not desire the triumph Of
Radiealism will throw away his vote on
Independents, so as to secure the election
of Radical candidates. Johnson's ap-
peals to wOrkingmen and citizens Of
foreign birth will not do him much
good. What has he ever done to
advance the interests of workingmen? I?
Has he invested his money, of which he
makes such boasts, in any industrial
enterprises which give employment to
labOring men? 1t is locked up in bonds,
by which he draws money from the
people, and yet does nothing for them.
His love for wOrkingmen is only to get
their votes. Your exposure of his
claims upon the Know Nothing issue
should satisfy every foreigner what
johnson is. This is an old issue which
be is attempting to revive to catch some
votes. The game he is playing is des-
perate, and he feels it. SPECIAL.
