A SCARE.

| For some times the great beroes who draw 140 a month for listening to Soper's commands have felt at ease and no reports I have re«ched us of anv instances of an nnusual palpit&tion of their hearts. No shadows have been ! fired at, and the trees. and telephoue posts have not latelv V>een perforated with bullets. Yester 1 day thongh the eanip was again thrown into a state of nnspeakabie unguish and thev had good cause. Three gentlemen who are to take part in the coming minstrel show entered the music H ill yesterday afternoon to inspect the stage. After they had : been inside a few minutes, a vio- ■ lent knocking at the front door staitled thera. They opened the door and foand to their snrprise a squad of poliee, and a captain who demanded to know what they were doing there. Tlie trembling minstrels annong | whom was a government ofticial j explained their bnsiness--evident-ly to the satisfaction of the i J poliee—and none of them were arrested or killed that time. In the eamp it was evident that there was a great commotion and soldiei*s, and ofiicers were seen running to and fro in a state of excitement. Next tirae the minstrels visit the Opera Honse, they will take one or two colonels with them as a safe guard. Bnt if three rainstrels without blackened faees ean throw a company of soldiers and the “foorce” into terror what cannot fonrteen of them do after having used the “cork?”
