Where they come from few people know, but they generally make themselves heard at early dawn, enveloped In blankets, shawls, ?c., upon the door-step of some honest and innocent individual. Nobody's children are Immediately put upon the city, and hence these unwelcome strangers usually come blinking into the police court. They are on the decrease now. The elly at present has four-three colored and one white. The white one ls a girl, and two of the others are boys. They date their age like a writ, from tbe day they come into court, and they pick np names where they can. They are bardy little beings, and seldom die like other children. In tact, they take a pleasure in living, and ? measles dont seem to affect them. The eldest | on hand is Just three years old, and the young? est was picked up five mornings ago at the street-door of a house in Bose lane. They are Inspected once a month by the officer of the police, and on this occasion they and their foster mothers show to great advantage. They arrive of age before chancery wards, and il nQt adopted by somebody.generally find their way 'to the Orphanhouse. They cease to be wards of the police court when they begin to talk and walk.

A CADEMY OF MUSIC. Janaaschck'? Tragedle*. The tragedy of Mary Stuart was repeated last night before a full, though not a crowded house. The acting of Madame Janauschek was even better than on her first appearance here In the part. ' Thia gifted lady may congratulate herself upon having drawn together the largest audi? ence ever assembled within the four walls of the CharlestonfAcademy of Music. On Thurs? day evening no less than seventeen hundred persons, by actual count, witnessed her Lady Macbeth. Thia was two hundred in excess of what had hitherto been deemed the utmost f capacity of the building. The extra crowd-1 lng was mainly In the family circle and among the "gods." The cash receipts on that j o/ening were fifteen hundred dollars, the largest receipt s ata single entertainment of j any kind in Charleston eince the war. There | was some grumbling among those who found only standing room In the parquette, because the management would not allow chaira to be placed In the aisles for their accommodation; but a moment's reflection should convince all that every consideration of safety and justice to those holding reserved seats forbids any such obstruction of the means ot egress. There is to be a Chesney Wold matinee this afternoon, and Winter's Tale will be given this evening, wfth Janauschek as Hermione. THE COURTS YESTERDAY. Court of Common Pleas, Judge Graham Presiding.

How TO SLEEP COMFORTABLY.-The furni? ture trade have, for years, found lt difficult to recommend any bed which seemed to combine all the advantages one desires In an article put to such constant use as a spring bed. But the newly introduced Wire-woven Mattress seems at last to supply the want. It consists of a Btrong fabric, formed of nine thousand feet of fine tinned wire, colled into perfect springs, and all Interlocked by an ingenious process cf double weaving. When this pliable and elastic fabric is stretched on its proper frame, the result is the most perfect sleeping arrangement ever made. Among theBpecial advantages claimed tor this mattress are : 1st. That they never lose their shape. 2d'. That I they never need a repair. 3d. That lliey never J make a noise. They are warranted to be as perfectly level at the end of Ave years as when first made, and to stand the teat of one thou? sand pounds weight for ten days. No under bed ol any kind is ever needed, and being In many cases a perfect sleeping appliance, with the addition of a blanket, a thinner mattress than can be used under aoy other circumstan? ces ls sufficient. On this account, and by rea. son of their extreme durability lt ls claimed that they are the cheapest bed In market. Be? ing made only of metal and wood, no Impurity or odor can gather on or about them, while the single thin mattress Is easily handled on them and aired. The agency of this new and valuable household institution is at SIlcox's Furniture Warerooms, corner King and Clif? ford streets, where the mattresses can be in? spected.
