The Mikado Japanese —A company 01
Jaoancsc jugglers odd acrobats bcjtriug tins title,
inAde their first appearanco at tho Chestnut
Street Theatre last evening. The troupe is a
sew one, with tho single exception of the young
man who delivers the intensely interesting ex
planatory lecture, emphasizing it by cracking
two sticks together. This garrulous pagan was
ihe man who appeared with the Maguiro troupe.
The feats performed by the gymnasts are pre
cisely thoso that wo have seen before, ino
sword-ladder, tho ladder-balancing, the top
opinning, the tub feat, tho slack-rope walking,
and the tumbling, do no not dllfer
In any respect from the exhibitions
civen last year by the Japanese who appeared in
die Academy. But they are not the less mar
yelwus, and ore'well worth seeing, even if famili
arity has roltbed them of their intensoßt interest.
We may state that the native orchestra has made
a valuable acquisition in tho shapeofnn unattrac
tive heathen who imagines that he ean play upon
the life. His range upon the instrument Is con
fined to precisely three semitones, and while the
music is consequently not precisely delicious, or
calculated to exercise any soothing influence
■upon the savage or civilized heart, it is neverthe
less novel and amusing.
The Grand Duchess.— On Tuesday, the 11th
inet., Mri Bateman’s French Opera Company
will appear at the Academy of Music in Olfen
hach’b comic opera Grand JJttchvss of Gerolstein.
The wonderful popularity which this opera has
obtained in this country and in Europe, is a.
guarantee that it will tie immensely successful in
Philadelphia. It will be well for every one. ovon
those who are conversant with tho French lan
guage, to purchase a libretto and become ac
quainted with the plot beforehand. We will not
undertake to sketch the Btory at length, but these
are the outlines of it:
The “Grand Duchess of Gerolstein,” having
lier own way in the province, and making her
prime minister, “Pncfe,” minister primarily to
her humors, is sought in marriage by “Paul,” tho
eon of a neighboring potentate, but as this suitor
i 6 soft of head as well as heart, she only pesters
and plays with him, and perpetually postpones
any interview with his Mentor apd his father’s
diplomate, “Baron Grog.” Tho “Duchess" af
fects a military fashion, and visiting the camp of
her pet regiment, she falls persistently in love
with a common soldier, “Fritz;” him she
straightway makes general-in-chief, deposing the
prior commandant, “General Bourn,” and would
marry him into tho bargain, but that he is obsti
nately set upon a rustle sweetheart, “Wanda.”
The drift of the action is naturally toward the
deposition of "Fritz,” his union with “Wanda,”
the restoration of “Bourn,” the alliance of the
“Dnchess” and “Prince Paul.” and a general
'‘living happy ever afterward” of all the dramatis
persona'.
Eleventh Street Opera House.— Messrs.
Carncross & Dixey announce for this evening an
cntirelv Pew burlesque, entitled Ours; or Maxi—
inwall's Avengers. The piece has real merit. It
is filled with comical situations, sharp local hits,
tunny incidents and keen satire. In addition to
this, Mr. <J. L. Carncross will sing several favorite
ballads, and there will be local and instrumental
music, Ethiopcan delineations, dancing, &c., by

of the very excellent company will participate.
Mr. Frank Moran will give some of his most
amusing negro personations, there, will besing

who attire themselves in ancient costume and

selections of sacred music. Several of the per

oootf Advice from a Southern Organ*
£ From the ltichmond Enquirer and Examiner of Feb. 1.1
CULTIVATE Tint SOIL
Gloomy as are the prospects of all the depart- i
ments of Southern industry, agriculture still
. offers to every Virginian more assured prospects
of fair returns lor labor employed and capital ’
expended than anything else. While our farmers
may not since the close of the war have realized
large profits, yet their losse? have been insignifi
, cant as compared with those of the planters of
the Cotton States.
In viewing the wliole'field of enterprise and en
ergy in 186$, we can find nothin" half as attrac
tive as the cultivation of the Old Dominion. In
her broad and fertile fields there is ample room
for the thousands who are doing absolutely noth
ing in the over-crowded professions and trades.
Medicine and law were never less remunerative
in cash receipts than now, and oar
merchants have for months boon selling
under the depressing influence' of a fall
ing The great and increasing
scarcity of moneyhas paralyzed the builder and
the merchant, and" until tfic agriculture ortho
State revives, there can be no real prosperity.
The ranks of those who are engaged in agricul
ture are not, like those of law, medicine and com
merce, crowded to excess, for there is most' am
ple room for thousands of industrious and intel
ligent farmers. And there is not .one young Vir
ginian in fifty who during the last three
years has sought employment either in Balti
more or New York-who would not have
prospered far more as a tiller of the soil in his
native State. How few of the young men in
question hove laid the foundations of permanent
BUCcesß in either of the cities to which they so
eagerly flocked in 1865-66! And alas! how
many, after contracting habits and tastes utterly
at variance with thoso of their youth, have in
consequence of the stringency of the times, been
cast adrift without hope of future employment!
Although . the present, like the two past
years, has not opened auspiciously for the.
farmer, still there is yet ample time for the suc
cessful cultivation of the leading crops of this
State. Many a Virginia soldier, who surrendered
with General L<Se at Appomattox Court House
in April, 1865, with the aid of a broken down
cavalry horse or a galled and broken-winded
mule, "managed to make a good crop of corn.
And we cannot recall a single instance of a youtfg
man of industry and energy, who engaged in
agricultural pnrsuits in Virginia after the war,
vrtio has not done better than had lie gone behind
a counter to measure calico and tape, or enrolled
himself in those unhappy armies of martyrs, who
announce to a heedless public their willingness
to practice law and medicine.
We sincerely hope that during the next two
months every young man In Virginia who dboß
not see his way clearly to a support In commerce
or the professions, will try his hand at farming.
Half of the best land in Virginia is lying idle for
want of hands to till it, and however unpropi
tious the season may prove, the cultivation of
corn, wheat, oats and tobacco is sure to yield a
support to the industrious laborer. We do not
mean that an incurably lazy white man, whose
“farming" consists iii hiring a worthless negro
or two,whom he overlooks by sitting on a stump
with an umbrella, ovor his head, is likely to suc
ceed. God forbid that such a cumberer of the
earth should demoralize the yonth of the South
by succeeding at anything—for his example
would be a bad one.
But, looking to the cheapness of lands in Vir
ginia,and to ,their fertility, and the great ease
with which they are cultivated, and to their ac
cessibility to the very best markets for grain, tho
industrious fanner Is sure to do hotter for the
intent than the struggling merchant or the on-
employed professional man.... Tkcro qaube no
real prosperity in Virginia as long os agriculture
languishes. _ _

[From' the Pittsburgh Commercial of Fob. ffl.] x/
On Saturday morning, about
J. L. Linton, a special detective in the eufufoy oi
tlie United States licvonue DopartmentJffho Is at
present in attendance at the United Slates Dis
trict Court in this city, was awakened by. a noise
in his room, at the Monongalieln House, and dis
covered a man in the apartment unlocking the
door. The Major sprang from his bed, seised the
intruder by the throat, and drew his revolver, but
was in too close quarters to use it. The burglar
also drew a knife, and in the scuilie inflicted a se
vere wound on the fleshy part of the Major’s hand,
lie then lied from the room, when Major Liutou
cave the alarm and’ the police were scut for.
Mayor McCarthy and officer Joseph Busha an
swered the summons, and after a consultation
arrested two young men occupying a room im
mediately across the hall from the Major's
apartment. They gave their names as Thomas
Patterson and George Curtis, and stated that
they resided in Albany, New York. Major Linton
identified Patterson as the party who had entered
his room, after whieh they were conveyed to the
lock-up.
In the afternoon they had a hearing before
Mayor Blnekmorc, Major Linton having in the
meantime made an information against them for
felonious assault and battery. The Major stated
that, in his opinion, the object of the prisoners
was to get him ont of the way, in order to pre
vent him from appearing before the U. S. Court
as a witness in an important case under the reve
nue laws which he had worked up, and which
involves over one hundred thousand dollars in
fines and forfeitures. He supposes the men fol
lowed him from New York, and that Patterson
effected an entrance into his room by climbing
through the transom abovo the door. Mr.
Aaron Steinwich, bar-keeper at the Mo
nongahcla House, testified that at the
time the alarm was given ho saw
Patterson attempt to escape from the house, and
when intercepted by one of the porters, struck at
him until the witness came to his aid. Mr. Cros
sen testified that the young men occupied a room
near the Major’s, and other facts as to their pre
sence in the hotel. Detective Jones, of hicw
York, recognized Curtis as a young man whom
ho had frequently seen at a gambling house on
Broadway, New’ York, a place of resort for
thieves and burglars. The Mayor then commit
ted the prisoners to jail, in default of bail, for
trial at Court.
While in the lock-up Patterson admitted to a
tnembor of the police that he had entered the
Major’s room. The prisoners are about twenty
five years of age, and are respectably dressed.
DEFALCATION IN PITTSIICKKH.
A Sowing Machine Agent Absconds.
[From the Pittsburgh Dispatch of Feb. 3d.] .
A. F. Chatouey, the proprietor of a sewing
machine depot on Fifth street, above Smithfleld,
bus been missing from this neighporhood for
some days, and, ii the allegations made against
him bo true, be will scarcely return unless it be
in the custody of an officer of the law. Mr,
Chatonev was an agent for the sale of the Gro
ver & Baker 6ewing machine in this city, and for
some time did a pretty extensive business. He
had his machines sent on from Philadel
phia and was accustomed to pay for them with
certain notes which apparently boro the endorse
ment of different merchants of good standing in
this city. With this seeming evidence of their
worth the papers were always regarded as good
by the General State-Agent in Philadelphia, who
deposited them at his banking house. A short
timo since, however, the Philadelphian
came to realizo that he had been vic-
timized by Mr. Chatonoy, and to the
lively tune of some nine or ten
thousand dollars. He made the discovery in this
wise: A few days ago a party called at the
Third National Bank of this city and there pre
sented a promissory note endorsed by Mr. J. F,
Havekotte, merchant tailor. It was at once dis
counted and almost immediately Mr. Havekotte
came to hear of it. He examined the paper and
at once pronounced it a forgery. Oh inquiry it
was thcD ascertained that it had been sent on
from Philadelphia, whither Mr. Ohatoney had
previously transmitted it in payment for his
machines.
On further investigation it was ascertained
that other forgeries had been perpetrated and
that tho signatures of a number of our business
men were freely used by Mr. C., who, glad to es
cape from the web ot bis own weaving,fled when
he heard of the discovery. Tho company, it is
said, will suffer a loss of some nine or ten thou
sand dollars. Our readers will remember that
the alleged delinquent brought Bnit against a
number of his snb-agents some time since for al
leged heavy defalcations.
Love and Murder In North Carolina.
[From tho Old North State, Jan. 28.1
One of the most thrilling trials that ever took
place in the State is now in progress at States
ville. Thomas Dula, a young man about twenty
five rears cf age, is being tried before his honor
Judge Shipp, in the Superior Court of Iredell
county, for the murder of Miss Laura Foster, •
and Ann Melton is arraigned as accessory. It
appears from tho evidence that in May, 1866,
Laura Foster arose from her bed in her
father's houso about an hour before day,
“and, taking her father’s horse, which was
tied this night near tho door, traveled, some
few milt'B on a road to a place to which the horse
was tracked, and near which her body was sub
sequently found in the woods. Dula and Mrs.
Melton were absent from their homed, the night
on which Laura Foster left her father’s, and were
seen next mornimr in the neighborhood of tho
place, where the body of Laura Foster was found
buried. It is charged that Mrs. Melton was jealous
of the attentions paid Laura Foster by Dula, and
therefore aided and abetted in the murder. Tho
incidents, as developed before the jury, are of the
most thrilling character, and the Court House is
crowded with an eager multitude who listen with
breathless attention to the evidence. Governor
Vance, with one or two others, is assigned for
the prisoners, and J. M. Clement, of Davie; Dr.
Boyden, of this city, and Mr. Solicitor Caldwell
will prosecute on the part of tho State. Ann
Melton is about 24 years of age, and quite a neat
and interesting person in her appearance. The
evidence as far as given in, we' hear,
is altogether circumstantial. The prisoners
bear themselves very calmly and appear to take
great interest in the proceedings, /frequently
rising to suggest inquiries and to prqmpt theta
cou nsfel. The trial commenced on Tuesday,; and?
on Wednesday afternoon, when the court-opened,
not more than one-fourth of the witnesses had
been examined. We learn that there are about
ninety witnesses in the case. '

private Ufo of the present day. The descriptions of the
city of Siena—of the country around—of Savona, the do*
eolate town of the Maremma—are wonderfully graphic,
and bear witness to their having been done from the life
by,one who has lived in the places and loved them. Tlio
scene in the gloat church of Savona is brought vividly
before tlio reader, who will not easily shake off the im
pression it produces. Wo would 'recommend the reader
to learn for himself the .unraveling of tho plot and the
final result. The story will repay perusal, and tmHnter
