MRWDHLS80HN Socibty. The Grand Concert
Of the Mendelssohn Society, at Musical Fund
Hall, thta evening, wlU doubtless be a brilliant

Character, and the performers every way quali
fied to do It the amplest Justice. Mrs. Dohrons.
Miss Orllna Cunnlngton, Miss Blackbnrne, Miss
Gormley, and Mr. Bishop will sin the solos
fcnd concerted pieces, and the ohoruses will be
done by the talented society, numbering over
two hundred selected voices. Trofossor Henry
G.Thunder.the eminent planlRt of the Mendels
8ohn, plays the brilliantly dimcult solos on the
grand Fantasia of Beethoven, and the Gertnanla
Orchestra plays the accompanlmouts and one
or two fine overtures during the evening. In

the 05th I'sulm ol Mendelssohn, will also bo pre
sented, and its rendition will create a sensation.
It Is a sublime affair, and every way worthy of
the fame of its Immortal composer. Selections
from Kosslnl, Pacini, Mozart, and other cele
brities, complete the splendid programme. Mr.
Jean Louis, the Director of the Society, loads
the forces on the occasion, and his efforts to

How It OcccRREn. Wo give the further
particulars ot the tight in a uown-town tavern
yesterday alternoon. At thai time, between 1
and '2 o'clock, Ollicnr Conway, of the .Second
District, who had been detailed for special ser
vice, wns standing ut the corner of Thirteenth
and Cm lim ine streets, when be saw a man
limned James Conway go up to a colored man,
ana, without any provocation whatever,
knocked him down and kicked him. Officer
Conway ran over to t he scene of the fight, and
attempted to arrest Conway, when he wus set
upon and knocked down and kicked by eight
or ten of the hitter's friends. (Struggling to his
feet, they were rushing In on him, when he
drew his revolver and discharged the two loads
It contained at his assailants: one of whom,
named Curry, received the contents of one loud
In his arm. When the party found the officer
had expended his ammunition they closed in
on him, and took him into custody, and took
him before Alderman McCloskey, by whom he
was held in JlliOO bull to answer the charge of
. recklessly using his pistol In the street. (Soon
afterwards, lour of the attacking party, named
John Keeuan, William Gibson, James Con
way, and John Toner were arrested on war
rant. Alter a hearing before Alderman Titter
mary, they were committed In default of $;i()0
each, to answer the churgc of assault and bat
tery on an officer and for riotous conduct. The
negro who was assaulted, and the citizens who
witnessed the disturbance, are requested to call
upon Lieutenant Hampton, at the old .SoiHu
wark Hall Police Station.
Chance for Housekeepers. There is nothing
that gives such a finished appearance to the
interior of a house us tastelul and beautiful
carpeting. The manufacture of this class of
goods has now approached a perfection that is
astonishing; Some of the elegant and rich
specimens that our native and the foreign
manufacturers turn out ure so highly elabo
rated that they look almost too beautiful to
step upon. At Messrs. Lecdom & Shaw's esta
blishment, Ko. D1U Arch street, may be seen
now a large assortment; of the finest and cost
liest Brussels and Kngllsh Koyal Wilton tapes
try carpets, that will compare with anything
In that line that has ever been placed before
tue public. Besides the finer qualities "they
have all kinds and styles of Ingrain and Vene
tian carpets, mattiugs, rugs, druggets, etc. We
advise our friends to elve them acalL
A Thievish Party. For some time past a
party of young thieves have been making petty
depredations upon the people residing in the
lower part of the city. It appears that they
would steal the articles and give them to a
female vagrant named Margaret Armstrong,
but rejoicing In the expressive coguomen of
"Dirty Mag," to sell for them. This she did to
a person named Caroline Hendry, at No. 721
Hhippen stjeet. Amongst the articles stolen
was a very fine piece of ladles' linen, valued at
$'20, which was sold to Caroline. Lieutenant
Fuller got wind of the affair, and arrested about
half-a-dozen of the boys who were engaged In
these operations, and hIso arrested the above
mentioned females. They hud a hearing before
Alderman Lutz, who held the whole party In
$700 ball each to answer.
Burglar Caught in the Act. About 4
o'clock this morning, the family of Mr. Thomas
Bovle. residing at No. 238 spruce street, were
alarmed by hearing a noise in the lower part of
the house. Air. noyie went down, ana dis
covered a colored man. who had Just broken
Into the place through the back window. He
called for beln. and Sergeant Broomal. of the
Fifth District Police, rushed to the spot and
secured the burglar. He gave the name of
Henry Morris, and when searched a hatchet,
bag, and a screw-driver were found unon him.
He was taken before Alderman Butler, and.
after a hearing, was committed to answer the
charge of burglary.
Pickpocket Arrested. Last evening, while
a party of men were In the bar-room of Dennis
Cursin's tavern, at Front and Dock streets, a
gentleman observed a pickpocket cut the coalof
a man nameu wiuiam uiacit,uu removing tue
Docket-book. attemDted to escape. The alarm
was given, however, and Offloer Burns took the
thief into custody, lie gave me name oi jonn
Hurlev. at the hearing before Alderman But
ler. His "pal" who was with him at the time
manaeed to escape: but the rocket-boon, con
taining S15, was recovered. Hurley was com
mitted In default of giiHH) ball.
Case op House Robbert. Shortly after
dark, last evening, some person or persons
walked Into the house of Mr. Kenl O'Donnel,
JS'o. 12 Callowhlll street, through the side en
trance, and then passed up stairs. On getting
up stairs several trunks and bureaus were rum
maeed. and 8600 in money, some Bilk dresses.
and a set of furs were stolen. The inmates were
In the lower part of the house at the time but
riiil not hear the thieves whilst they were one
rating, and did not know of the robbery until
they went np stairs to retire ior tne niguu
Store Robbert. Some time last night an
entrance was effected Into the cigar store of
Mr. J. Alexander, at the corner of Juniper ana
Kitzwater streets, by boring out a piece of a
nn el from the door. They only obtained $rt in
pennies and a couple of boxes of cigars. The
thief used a common auger In boring out the
panel, and, from the way In which It was done,
was evidently not a very old hand at the busi
ness.

;a Mystery and ll ait y solution. Mr. Jones,
of U , returned from his business to his
cheerful home, but, to his surprise., found no
wife to greet him with the accustomed kiss.
Ho searched In tho sitting-room, parlor, and
dining-room, but all was as slleutas the tomb.
The terrible thought Hashed upon his mind
that a murder had been perpetrated. He rushed
towards the kitchen, and stumbled over the
loved form of his wife, who lay upon the floor,
behind the table. Her face wus like snow, and
her hair dishevelled. Ho frantically lifted her
up, pressed hor cold lips to his own, crying
"Dead, dead! Help, help! My poor wife!"
To make a long story short, the wife had but
fainted. All day she had stood at that house
hold pillory, the ironlug-table, until, exhausted
With toil and vexation, she sunk upon theiloor,
A few restoratives brought her to, uud tho mys
tery was explained.
"This is the last shirt you shall Iron forme,"
said Jones. "No! no! You shall not bo con
fined over my linen, my dear, Heo hero!'' said
ho, pointing with tragic attitude to his bosom.
"Beautiful, " cried the wife. "How on earth
do they press them so beuutlful? 1 can not do
them thus."
"This," said Jones, "is not a shirt. It is a
water-proof shirt front, and costs but2icouls.
This will last mo for months, my dear, and I
can be, henceforth, my own washwoman. .Soe,
I wcor it over my colored shirt, and wheu
soiled I wipe It off with a wet towel. Wilhthis
1 can travel to Paris and buck without a
change of linen."

The F.ffkct of tuh Wkathkk ox Bdsimess.
The cheering effect of the beautiful weather
of the past two days has caused a general Cesire
to eo out in tne iresn air and enjoy tne sun
shine nud pure air. Asa natural consequence,
all branches of trade have felt the good effects
of this feeling. The ladles have not had so good
an opportunity to go shopping for two mouths,
and, as a natural consequence, tho retail dry
goods stores are crowned, rne pnuoinai retail
streets are crowded with the fair pedestrians.
More particularly is that great centre or retail
dry goods business, Eighth street, like a fair.
To-day it was crowded. In golug along we
noticed now auicmy tnesuopKeepcrs uau tan en
advantage of the opportunity to display their
goods. The stores oi Mr. Mcciroy, jnos. t and o
North Eighth street, made a most beautiful
display, that was evidently appreciated. Judg

vicinity. They had some beautiful quallttes
of black silks, dress goods of all kinds, ladles'
cloaklngs and white goods of all descriptions.
Mr. McElroy, It will be recollected, was for
many years at No. 11 South Ninth street, op
posite the University.
"Nigghrs in the Cahs." Another difficulty
has occurred In the administration of the new
law allowing colored persona to ride In the city
cars. At a meeting of all of the City Railway
Presidents, held yest erday, In reference to this
subject, it was moved by the President of the
Chesnat and Walnut Streets Line, and carried
unanimously, that unless the colored, as well
as the white people, dressed in the styles sold
at the Clothing House of Charles Stokes & Co.,
ander the Continental, they must stand aside
for better dressed folks.
A Hint fob the Million. The sewing
machine, from its indispensable character as a
life and labor-saving instrument, nas become
as necessary an appendage to every dwelling
us a stove or timepiece. Therefore, It Is a matter
of importance to all to know which of the
various sewing macnines in use is iue one io
tray. Beyond any doubt, the Grover A Baker
presents the greatest number and the most
essential advantages. It is the most easily
learned and operated, performs the greatest
variety of work, does Its work In the best man
