The Washington JPtst refers to
Fanny Davenport as an "alleged

otherwise. '
Petersburg had a shooting diffi

In view of the back pension grab

; The lovers of Robert Burns's in
imitable poetry held a grand Scotch
feast in New York the other night.
Among the noticeable features of the
occasion was "a big-bellied bottle,"
filled with twenty -five-old Glenlivar,
an original letter in manuscript of
the great poet, the original manu
script of "Scots, wha' hae wi' Wal
lace bled," and an autograph letter
of the poet. Here is the letter ad
dressed to Mr. Miller: I
Sir: I have at last fairly signed ray task
with Mr. Miller, and most commence op
erations at Whit Sunday. I am an entire
stranger in your country, and heaven
knows shall need advice enough. Will
you be so very good as to take a poor devil
of a sojourning Rhymester under your
care? . I assure you l keep tne scripture in
my eye, for I f 'ask io faith, nothing waver
ing." Old Kerin Shakespeare says to poor
King Lear that he wished to be in his ser
vice, "because he bad that in his face he
could like to call master;" forgive me, sir,
when I say you ' have something in like
manner that I could wish to call friend.
I shall be at Brownhill for anything
I know on Thursday night; will you be
able to spare me an hour or two on Friday?
I want two men servants for the summer;
if you know of any please bespeak me them
or direct me to them. I would like one of
them a married man, as I can give him a
house and perhaps, for this summer, a
cow's grass, but I won't make a custom of
that any more than this season. If you did
not know me for a Scots poet, I dare say
you would suspect me for a Hibernian.

For matchless intrepidity of face.

The magistrate.
Bristow Broadhurst, colored, made his
appearance before Justice Gardner . yester
day, charged with embezzlement. It ap
pears that William Phillpot had unlimited
confidence in the fidelity of. Bristow, made
him his agent, gave him $10, and authorized
the accused to propose him for member
ship in a secret order. The complainant
was, for a long time, anxiously awaiting to
be conducted through the mysteries of the
aforesaid order, but finally grew impatient
of delay and inquired into the why. He
then learned that the affectionate Bris.
had misapplied the funds, and therefore
the arrest. The delinquent , was required
to furnish a bond in $100 for. his appear
ance at the next term of the Criminal
Court, failing in which he was spirited off
to jail.
Samivel Armstrong, whose arm was bo
strong as to carry off a lot of meal and meat
from a flat without the. owner's consent,
was gravely charged with larceny. He
was sent to the lock-up, not being ablo to
find security in the sum of $50 for a future
visit to Judge Mearea.
And now comes Melvina Baker, who,
being a light weight champion and effemi
nately masculine, assaulted a young man
in a mild manner. Weighing the offence
well, the dignity of the law was vindicated
by a simple application of costs. The dose,
however mild, was too strong, and she
went to jail

not, enter on specie payment, and retired

Tne Visit of Gran master Bhrlnc
nam.
Although each particular Odd Fellow
stoutly denies that he was worsted
by the thumbscrews applied at Orion
Lodge, on Wednesday night, by Grand
Master Ehringham,- there is perfect unani
mity among them as to one thing. It is
unanimously agreed that the visit was in
all respects a pleasant affair. The Grand
Master not only found the Lodges of the
city Cape Fear and Orionin admirable
condition, but testified to the growth and
strength of the Order throughout the State.
We are gratified to hear his news, because
Odd Fellowship seems to be well described
by its name when we remember that the
vast good it achieves is done by stealth, not
in a noisy way and with great parade.

Opera House Next Monday NIsnt.
Of the appearance of the Adah Rich
mond Opera Bouffe Troupe, in Macon, Ga.,
recently, the 1 elegraph says:
"The Dresentalion was trnlv refined anil
artistic, and may be set down as the most
elegant which has been presented this sea
son, all things considered.
"We must confess to an ftirrrefthlA anr-
prise in the company, and can cord ial ly
tuuinienu u everywnere. x ne opera pre
sented last evening is Lecoq's masterpiece,
Girefle-Girofla. and WfUtfrivnn with n strnner
cast. The scene is laid in Spam and the
pioi aot lmncaie out interesting. Uolcro,
a opanian uou, nas two aangnters; Gu:oUe
and GiroflaL Who are so mnch alike that to
distinguish them a different colored ribbon
- .
ia worn oy eacn. ,
vihey are affianced to two suitors,
neither Of Whom has seen hin infpnflofl
bride. Pirates capture the fairGiroIa on
her wedding day. Her intended lord, an
irrascible Moor, arrives to claim bis absent
bride, threatening ruin to the Don if she
be not immediately brought forward. To
relieve the situation Girofle, who had just
been married to her lover, is married to
the Moor, j The ensuing complications
make up the remainder of the opera uutil,
the pirates being overtaken, the stolen
Girofla is surrendered to the care of her eg'
pectant lord, and the curtain falls on a
happy household. . The double role of the
twin sisters was assumed by Miss Adah
Richmond. She is an artist who has risen
steadily ia her profession and now shines
forth an acknowledged star in the firma
ment of opera bouffe. Her style is very
attractive, full of that piquancy and vi
vacity so inseparable from the success of
this style of opera, and her vocalism excel
lent. Miss Richmond was honored with an
encore on the drinking song, which was
rendered with a sparkle, dash and beauty
which made it the gem of the perfor
mance." Tne Penitentiary xne New Hanover
