The opening of the Parlor Billiard Room, in Cottrell'a Block, Ea3t Washington street, last night, was a grand success. A large crowd was in attendance, and full justice was done to the elegant lunch which the new proprietor spread. CITY COURT. This was rather a dull day in the Mayor's Court, and the grist to be ground was not very large. Hugh Kelly was fined t 90 for allowing his hogs to run at large, which he promptly cashed, and Mr. Miller, the complaining witness, went away from Court as mad as a hornet, because the fine was not larger. Frederick Shurick pleaded not guilty to keeping a dog without license, and was dismissed. H. J. Miller cashed $10 65 for provoking Mr. Kelly about some hogs. Charles Williams, the would-be suicide, was committed in default of $5 90 for being drunk and disorderly.

A fearful runaway occurred this morning, the horse starting from the corner of Arsenal avenue and Washington street. The wagon was occupied by a Mrs. Seamer, whose husband works In Speigel k Thorns' furniture factory, and her little child. The horse ran down Washington street at break-neck speed, and the 6cat slipping oft", the woman was thrown out of the wagon, leaving the child alone. The animal kept running, rolling the child from one side of the wagon to the ether, followed by the frantic mother, who rent the air with her earpiercing shrieks. He was stopped at tVo bridge crossing Pogue's Run, wheu it was discovered that the child was not hurt. It was a narrow escape from death for both mother and child. HOGS AND PROVOKE. A Mr. Kelley, who lives on Missouri street, allowed his hogs to run at large greatly to the detriment of Mr. Miller, a neighbor, who wended his way to the Mayor's office, and entered a complaint against him. When Mr. Kelley heard of this he, too, rushed frantically to the Mayor's office and filed against Mr. M., charging him with using "cuss" words at the hogs.and thus "provoking" the owner to strike him. Both parties were at the City Court this morning, red-hot, each one swearing against the other. It was a clear case of dog eat dog, and his Honor fined them both. Finale Kelley, $10 C5 for his hogs, and Miller, $7 00 for a provoke. PROP. COX'S LAST TRIP. The Professor returned from a trip to Harrison and Crawford counties last night, bringing home with him a number of specimens from the salt well at Corydon, and the lithographic stone queries near that town. He paid a visit to Wyandotte Cave, and the spouting sulphur well, eight miles from Leavenworth, Crawford county, which throws up 15,000 barrels of water daily. He was well pleased with the beauty and grandeur of the scenery, and especially with that about Wyandotte Cave. He reports himself aa well entertained by Mr. H. W. Conrad, the proprietor of the eave, who has a large hotel fitted up for the cenvenience of tourists and travelers who may pay him a visit. Y. M. C. A.

Ia 1845, says a correspondent of the Free Press, "Abe Lincoln," as he was then called, came to Bloomington, Illinois, about sixtymiles from his home in Springfield, to defend an aged father in a suit for slander brought by his son. The old man's spouse, a second wife, and not altogether saintly in the estimation of her step-son, spoke severely of the step-son's wife, and he prosecuted for slander, as was supposed by some more to get the old man's money than to keep peace in the family. They had gone through the evidence, and Lincoln made the closing speech. As he approached the close he called the father to his side before the jury, and tpoke of the unnatural aspect there presented in a man of these gray haiis defending himself against the conduct of his child, liaising his hand higher than tha frosted head, he summoned the spirit of th departed mother to console the defendant in these unmerited sorrows: to shield him in these days when he needed some requital of affection from the assault of their thankless child. Her spirit of love is all that remains to him now. For 'The mossy marbles rest On the lips that he has ares't In their bloom; And the names he loved to hear Have been can ed for many a year On the tomb." These lines fitted in like an exquisite piece of mechanism. The case was gained. A witness of the scene who reports the case says that at the close he asked, "Mr. Lincoln, who was the author of those lines you repeated?" "Oh," said he, "it was a fellow by the name of Holmes." This "fellow by the name of Holmes" had become pretty widely known sixteen years after, when Mr. Lincoln took up his abode in the White House; but the lines which had helped the lawyer so well in gaining "lis case clung to the memory of the President, who was accustomed to refer to "The Last Leaf" as inexpressibly touching, and those six lines especially as the finest in the English language for true pathos. The sale of the Empress Eugenie's jewels in London netted 50,000. The first article which attracted attention was a marquise ring, with a pink diamond, surrounded by brilliants, formerly the property of the Empress Josephine. This was followed by a pendant of emeralds, pearls and brilliants, which was knocked down for six hundred and five guineas. A fine pendant with a large square emerald in the center, brought six hundred and twenty guineas. Two fine emeralds and three large brilliants mounted as a bracetet, were sold for eight hundred and ten guineas, and a cross formed of ten large brilliants, also brought eight hundred and fifty-five guineas. A watch was sold for one thousand six hundred and sixty pounds; a brooch, formed as an anchor, and companion brooch, three thousand one hundred and fifty pounds; a tiara, formed of & band of brilliants, seven hundxocl and eighty guineas, and a brooch, wltn a fine emerald, and one with a square emerald, five thousand guineas; a brooch, with emerald center, three thousand five hundred and twenty-gve pounds; a tiara, two thousand six hundred and twenty-five pounds: three brilliant pendants, two thou sand six hundred guineas; a pair of leng ear-rings, brilliants, three thousand two hundred and fifty-five pounds, :a The English Court Journal speaks of an astonishing serenade which was given to Queen Victoria at Balmoral Castle, on the morning of the anniversary of her birth-day. This gentle compliment came from an orchesl tra consisting of one hundred bagpipes No wonder Disraeli has been lead to believe the Queen insane. No womon could be expected to stand the shrill shrieks of one hundred bagpipes and retain her reason
