Upnday'and Tuesday Ifisiifs ;Mr. Curtis, the jolly "sheeny" of Mil ton Nobles' Phoenix, has started out for himself und ia starring in Sam'l Plas trick and Sanicf Posen. He is highly spoken of, and is no doubt deserving of the praise he has received. An exchange says : The most thorough and complete bit of character actiDg given to the public in late years is that of Sam'l Pla&triclc, which was witnessed for the first time in Troy last evening by a fair sized audi ence in Griswold opera house. JVIr. Cur tis is deserving of the strongest modes of praise which can be bestowed upoo him, for in this character, as well as the play of "Sam'l of Poten," the public finds something entirely new. In it tragedy and emotion arc combined with high and perfect "comedy with the cream on." The "plot is an excellent one and serves to bring out the company in all its strength, which is equalled by but few travelling companies to-day. Mr. Curtis' support is so very good that it is useless to particularize. Umbrella- Flirtati ns. Umbrella flirtations arc fashionable. Derc are the rules: To place your um brella in a rack indicates that it is about to change owners. An umbrella carried over the woman, the man getting noth ing but the drippings of the rain, signi fies courtship. '. When the man has the umbrella and the woman the drippings it Indicates marriage. To cany it at right angles under your arm signifies that an eyeis to be lost by the man who follows you. To put a cotton umbrella -by the side of a nice one signifies "ex change is no robbery " . To lend an um brella indicates "I ana fool " To car rv an open umbrella just high enough to tear out meaa eyes and . knock off raetfs hats signifies4! ata'h'vosnn.

Tile cnuilfic Bonnets The Aprilgossip on bonnets is as fol lows: For summer there are in prepara tion a multitude of strw bonnets of all colors, woven like lace. Of coune these bonnets will be lined with some bright colored silk. Those most likely to be in vogue are of bistre straw, lined with peacock blue, or bright red, such as garnet, rose or cherry. Many capotes are also seen of dark or black straw, or els of the natural color. One of these bonnets, designed for a bride, is of myrtle green straw, trimmed with a bunch of feathers of the same color, with the cen tre and tip of each feather slightly gild ed. Yery wide strings of surah of the same color, plaided with a slender thread of old gold, tie it on. tfaslstrate's Court.-1 . - A colored individual by the name of Sam'l Long, with a bad looking eye, which he avers is the result ot,ablow from a stick in the hands of Wtn.'Martin, colored, was arrestod by an officer this morning with a capias from Justice Mil lis for failing toputfn-an "appearanc before the above named Justice this morning ut 9 o'clock, the defendant hav ing been recognized to appear at that time for trial upon the charge of larceny.

Justice McQuigg committed Henry Harriss, a young white lad, this morn ing in default of bond for $50 -for his ap pearence at the next term ot the Crim inal Court, upon the charge of a misde meanor, which is interpreted to mean in this instance having made a practice of taking free rides on the' turnpike and turning off before he reaches the toll gate, thereby escaping the payment of toll.

" At the hour above named Mayor Fishblate took the Chair and stated that jho first -thing ia order was the election j of .Mayor. ... Aldermtu Wt H. Chadbourn, the white Republican member from the First Ward, then arose and nominated Alder man Bowden in a very complimentary speech! Alderman Bowden moved an adjourn ment until 3 o'clock Monday afternoon. Alderman Chadbturn seconded the motion. Alderman Smith arose and said he was there for business and didn't feel disposed to be trifled with. He did not see why the city should be without a Mayor un til Monday t) allow Alderman Bowden to reconcile his conscience on Sunday as to whether he was doing right or not. Alderman Smith said that Alderman Bowden had plighted his honor as a gen tleman to abide by the decisions of the Democratic caucus which was held last night, and he called upon Alderman Bowden to redeem those pledges now. Alderman- Bowden then said there had been a great deal of talk in the com munity to-day and he desired to give an opportunity to reflect upon this matter but if there was objection he would with draw his motion, whereupon Alderman Smith remarked, if there was anything offensive in his remarks which he had just made he would withdraw them. Alderman Alderman then placed in nomination Alderman Smith. Mayor Fishblate appointed Aldermen Worth and Chadbeum tellers. 1 The Callotv were then cast for Mayor with the following result: Alderman Bowden received 4 rotes and Alderman Smith received 6 votes.

Alderman Smith then ascended to the Chair, which Mayor Fishblate vacated, the ex Mayor handing over to his suc cessor the seal of the city, congratulat ing Mayor Smith upon his election, and wishiighim an administration of less perplexity than his had been. Mayor Smith was greeted with much applause both npoo the announcement of his elec tion and on his assuming the chair. The new Mayor then proceeded to ad dress the members of the Board of Al dermen, as well as the large crowd as sembled. He stated, that he had not thought much about rtnning for the office of Alderman until he had heard .shortly after his name had been mentioned in connection with the office, that he was the target for any amount of abuse and vitupera tion from a certain class af people in this community. His Honor then stated that this determined him upon his course; he resolved to run for the position ef Alderman, and to be elected, and he further resolved tlmt if possible he would be elected Mayor also. Now that he had reached tho Mayoralty, he would say to "those people whom he thought were prejudiced against him without cause, that he wonld endeavor to admin ister the duties of the office with impar tiality to all classes, without retrard to race or color, and he felt that he could discharge those duties with justice and ' fairness ; at least, this should be his aim during his term of office, aud he believed that when he retired. from his present position those who now, as he thought, blamed him without cause, and were prejudiced against him without rea son would do him the j oat ice to say that he had discharged his duties with im partiality to all concerned. Mayor Smith was loudly applanded during his speech jsnd at the close of it. The regular order of business was pro ceeded with and an election for City Clerk, Treasurer and Tax Collector was announced as the next business for the Board.
