Cricaco, January 5.—The fire alarms have been more numerous than usual, and the night proved tobe one of terror to mem- bers of the Fire Department. Three fires after midnight served to keep practically the entire force on duty, and the service re- quired of them, under tle circumstances, was such as taxed their endurance to the fullest extent. In addi- tion to the burning of several build- ings on Randolph street, already reported, the fine private stable of Marshal Field on Prairie avenue burned, entailing a loss of $20,000. At 4 o’ciock this morning a fire was discovered in the Beureweg Flats o1i Michi- gan avenue, one of the most imposing resi- nee structures in the south division of the city, and the flames progressed with such rapidity that a number of families were forced to seek the street in their night clothes.

An article in a morning paper concerning the situation in Police Board cirdles indi- cates a want of information as to what that situation is, and seriously misrepresents Dr. Lutz, in that it charges him with being aparty to an arrangement to make Maj. Lawrence Harrigan Chief of Police. To say that Dr, Lutz has any sach designs is to assertthat Edward Butler, Joseph Mc- Entire and Robt. C. Pate are friends and ad- vocates of the Harrigan cause. Such an in- sinuation would be scorned by either of those gentlemen, and they will see to it that Dr. Lutz does not make any mistake in voicing their views. At the last general election Harri- achieved the nomination in the face of ali opposition ou the part of Ed. Butler, Pat. ane and the crowd with them. Wh 7 the returns came in at the election Maj. Harri- gan found abundant data on which to UAse the opinion that he owed his conspicuous posi- tion In the army of the left to the vigorous efforts of Mr. Butler and his followers, whose democracy on that occasion was seem- ingly limited to BUCH CANDIDATES as they had helped to nominate. However that may be, Mr. Butler tooka great deal of comfort out of the resuitj@nd was still chuckling sporadically when one day he heard the ghastly rumor that he was liable to get into trouble about a certain tea lottery, and that the trap which had caught him was devised and set by none other than the gentleman who was not elected Sheriff. Ed swore some profound oaths, but denied that it made an difference to him, as his dealings with the tea lottery were absolutely innocent. So far as known, Harrigan neither affirmed nor denied the re- port that the torn dollar bill or the tete-a- tete in the tea store basement were little ideas of his. Mr. Butler seemed satisfied on that point without investigation, and however he might have been election to become a soldier in the Major’s army, he madeup his mind, in the light of the tea- lottery cellar, to hoist the Diack flag against the Major. This being his position, the po- sition of Dr. Lutz was necessarily the same. Messrs. McEntire and Pate had been hoid- ing that view for a long tiie. essrs.

This Loan Company could be conducted on the .same principle just as any of our banks are run.”’ MR. D. RB. FRANCIS heartily indorsed the project. With the proper men at the head of it and the display of a littie American enterprise there was no reason why it shouid not be organized and run with complete success, MR. 8S. H. LAFLIN said: “I read that article only partially, and I thought it called for something we have long needed.

Frozen to Death. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. MOBERLY, Mo., January 5.—We have the coldest weather known here for years. At 6 o’clock this morning the mercury marked 82° below zero, and it is but little warmer up tonoon. Several brakemen, stockmen and others exposed to the weather had their hands, feet, ears and faces fearfully frozen. A farmer arrived in town after riding ten miles with his limbs so frozen that amputa- to will probably be necessary. A man was band dead at nick, nine miles east of here, this ee. he renee, Sane was phed on the noon train. t is supposed he was frozen last night. poiuaed but the Mayor stayed away, not mprobably efor the reason that he is disposed to wait till Chief Campbell’s case has been determined before taking any part in the appointment of a successor. This is the situation at present, and the indications are that in case Chief Campbell is deciared to be without recourse in law, Harrigan will take charge of the department. The candidate of Dr. Latz is Mr. B. P. Taaffe, who holds himself to be the legs chief at the present ti and who is dis- to fight it out on line, with strong king. Gen. Gooding has no candidate. but asserts that he will not vute for Harrigan.

Third St. spares asec us ty, # The statistics showing the progress and extent of the brewing industry are interest- ing, not only as showing* the importance of the manufacture of beer as an industrial and economic factor, but especially in view of the fact that the Prohibitionists are at present making strenuous efforts to obtain a ma- jority in the State and destroy the enormous interests on which thousands of people are dependent for daily bread. St. Louis beer bas taken front rank. and the breweries of the city constitute one of its leading and most important industries. "rom small be- nnings, by the e.ergy and enterprise of the ee the business has assumed mag- nificent proportions and is a large and neces- sary element in the prosperity of the weep & St. Louis now possesses tonne breweries in active operation, the plant, _—e and machinery of which cost upwards of $8,500,- 000. During last year there were 945,500 bar- rels of beer manufactured, which required 2,200,000 bushels of barley and 1,500,000 bush- els of hops. To manufacture this amount of lager, 1,225,000 bushels of coul were used, and in the breweries alone 2,200 men are employed, while in the auxil- jary industries, such as bottle-making, Coop- erage, een amet be smiths, carpenters, wagon and barness-makers, about 6,000 more re- ceive their means of living. Indirectly de pendent on this great industry are fully 15,000 others in varicus branches of trade, amounting in al! to abeut 23,000 men—16 or 17 per cent of the total population—who look to the work of beer-brewivz for the daily sustenance of themseives and families. Thir- teen hundred horses are required, the oats, corn, hay and feed for which necessitate 5 an outlay of $156,000, Those statistics give anidea of what the breweries are to St. Louisand the State as an element in her growth and rosperity. The reputation of St. ouis “beer is world-wide, and shipments are made to every continent on the globe: in fact, the full reward of the in- Seavity and enterprise of her brewers has not yet been gained, because it has taken some time to make known tlhe high character and quality of the beverage to consumers. TUE STATISTICS that have been given merely relate to the breweries themselves and their ad- juncts’ When itis considered what a large amount of money is expended for the distri- bution of the beer, and the sums the State, county and city governments realize on its gale, some conception of the vast importance Jan. 6, 83. 539,111 84,372 Pr ’ ase the sixty or more breweries in State would be a serious loss to nearly every fication of industry and trade. THE HUNTINGTON LETTERS. A Few Gems~Interesting to Congressmen, Ex-Congressmen, and O hers. From the New York San. November 20, 1874.—I think this coming session of Congress will be composed of the hungriest set of men that ever got together, and that the d—1 only knows what they will do. March 3, 1875.—The passes have gone as fast as they have comein from Dillon. Ihave just sent over for the last lot. April 7, 1875.—I have set matters to work in the South that 1 think will switeh mostof the South off irom Tom scott’s Texas ana Pacific bill. September 23, 1875.—Scott is expecting to make his biggest fight this winter, and, as he owes near- ly everybody, he will have many to help him, as ’ they will think by so doing they will be helping themselves. October 10, 1875.—I have given Gilbert C. Walk- era letter to you. Heisa member of the Forty fourth Congress, ex-Governor of Virginia, and a ‘lippery fellow, and 1 rather think in Scott's in- terest, but not sure. I gave him a pass over C. P., and got one for him over U. P.; so do the best you can with him, but don’t trust him much. December 12, 1875—Sargent. as you no doubt have seen, bas gone off the Railroad Committee, but there isa good man in bis place, Eaton of Connecticut. December 22, 1875—Dr. Gwin was unfortunate about the Railroad Committee. There was not a man-put op the commiitee that was on bis list, and I must say I was deceived. December 24, 1876—I am doing all I can to have the Government take 6,.000,000,acres of land and give the railroad company credit for $15,000,000. I wish you would have the newspapers take the ground that this land ought to be taken by the Government and held for the people. The dema- go gues can then work and yote for it. : January 4, 1876—I have ordered all bills intro- duced in Congress to be sent to Sanderson that have any bearmg on our interest. Please look them over and give me your views. Many bills, no doubt, like Senate Bill No. 50, will be intro- duced that are bad. And the only way to kill them will be in committee.

Both the Exchange members and the telegraph wires were frozen and out of working order this morning.

The grain: dealers felt hilariously jubilant, however, over the extraordinary tinge of 2:17 made py their young thoroughbred Dave Francis in the in- augural race yesterday, that precedes the Mer- chants’ Exchange sweepstakes on next Wednes- day. “Yesterday was only a warming heat for ores * oa Rice of the industry may be had, and also what terrible havwe the destruction of it would cause. It would be nothing less than taking the bread eut of the mouths of honest labor- ing men—good citizens, and their famiiles— resulting in extreme poverty and distress, and it would result in great:y increasing the direct taxes needed for governmental pur- poses. This increase vf taxation In conse- quence of abo.ishing a sevurce of revenue which is seareely felt, would fall heaviest on January 14, 1876.—In view of the many things we have now before Congress, and also in this sinking fund which we wisb to establish,in which we propose to put all the company’s lands in Utah and Nevada, it is very important that Carr’s friends in Wasbington should be with us, and -if that could be brought about by paying Carr say $10,000 to $20,000 a year,I think we could afford to ao it, but, of course, not until be has controlled Western roads are to hold another conference on the 17th.

The result would be, instead of indirect and easy imposts, direct and burdensome taxes on means of liv- ing and necgssary articles of consumption. ‘he truth is, the farmer would be the hief sutterer in the event of the breweries being compelled to shut down by the success of prohibitio, principles. It is from the farmer that the crude material is purchased and itis by the breweries that a market is made for these materiais.

THE TAX JUGGLERS. — The New York Sun insists on the aboli- tion of the tax on whisky and tobacco be- cause, in its opinion, such tax “is protec- tion of Kentucky interests.”’ The proposi- tion that a tax on home production protects the producer, is something new under the sup, and rather indicates that the great luminary’s journalistic namesake has passed somewhat under the influence of the moon. lf we should leyy atax of 50 or 100 per cent on the output of all the other mills and factories in the country, the Sun and all the other protection organs would sing a differ- ent tune, They want the whisky and to- bacco tax abolished simply because it isa tax’ on luxuries voluntarily paid by per- sons who indulge in them, and paid to the Government. What they want is a tax on the necessities of the masses, paid mainly to protected cap- italists and monopolies created by tariff law. | Therefore the Sun would wipe out the direct taxes on such luxuries as whisky and tobac- co, and raise all the revenue by a tax on blankets, clothing, tools and such necessaries as the masses cannot do without and are compelled to buy. If all the proceeds of this tariff tax were paid to the Government, it would be simply ataxon home labor and home production and would protect nothing. But as the greater part of the proceeds goes to the pro- tected manufacturer, it is simply a tax on the people to support monopolies, a tax on la- ber to support capital, under the pretext that the protected capitalists will share the benefits with the laborers they employ, when they are, on the contrary, constantly import- ing their labor from the foreign markets where they can buy it cheapest. All this juggling with words on the sub- ject of tariff reform is simply a fight for a continuance of the monopolies created for certain great combinations of capital by a war tariff. Nobody proposes to strike at anything else. Free trade isa scare-crow set up for campaign purposes by the bloated monopolists who, after glutting the market with over-production, are now locking out their laborers to live through the winter un- employed. ‘Tariff reform means simply the freedom of labor from the extortion of mon- opoly ; it means the real protection of home labor and home production by such a tariff revision as will equalize burdens and bene- fits, and stimulate trade by opening new markets abroad for our surplus, instead of glutting the home market with “protected” goods for which there is no demand. —— Unprotected Workingmen. From the Chicago Herald. “The Hungarian comes here to work. He ts anxious to work and eager to save. If the wages are low he regulates his expenses so as to save even then, and there are many things that Ameri- ean and Irish workingmen might tearn from him with profit.” So says one of the wealthy coke manufacturers of Uniontown, Pa., who has been hiring his labor where be can get it cheapest. He not only defends his aetion put reads American workmen a lecture on domestic eeonomy. Here is free trade in labor, with a few refiec- tions on the tendency of laborers to live beyond their means thrown in gratis. Suppose the work- ingmen, who have ne protection even in the labor market against the paupers of Europe, should combine to put the manufacturers of Pennsylva- nia on a level with them and at the same time read them a homily on the art of running their establishments so as to compete with those of England. It is coming to that in time. The Cause of Red Sunsets. From the W aynesboro (Ga.) True Citizen. Pos sessing only sufficient courage to insult gen- tlemen at a distance, true to his natural, innate, inborn instincts of the craven that he is, the editor of the Sy!ivanice Telephone has sneaked be- hind the screen of another whom he had procured to do his dirty work. We spoke plainly, because sach an act cvuuld have been conceived only by a mind lost to every sentiment of common decen- cy. Wethought we bad said enough to require @ private, personal reply; rolling up the pu- trefying filth which lay in the shallow depths of his little soul, he replies by gathering together a mass of abusive epithets in which there was neither wit nor sense, and harling it out at our devoted head. And right here let us stop to say that this reply, in conception, progress and ecop- struction, in every part and entire, is an unmiti- gated, unqualified lie. Proud Mary Anderson. From the London Truth. An eminent financialist of social proclivities | lately wrote to Mr. Mitchell to request him to in- form Miss Mary Anderson that her presence would be welcome either at a dinner party or asa guest later in the evening after it, and to request to be informed what the charge would be. Upon submitting the proposal te Miss Anderson this young lady very rightly replied thatshe was not on hire for dining or evening party purposes. Never was a svub more deserved. What would the financialist have thought if Miss Anderson had askea him to come to her house to be stared at in consideration Gf food and a check? This sort of purse-proud vulgar snobbishneas must be put down. | Growing Effeminacy of the Parisians. Paris Letter in the Woodstown Register. At gala dinners the dishes are surrounded with garlands of odoriess flowers, as also the plates. When shall we adopt the Roman custom of guests decorating their heads with wreaths of flowers? The cruet stands now take the form of a wheel- barrow and that Cupids roll along the table cloth. Tne bill of fare is engraved on a leaf of tyory in red or black Gothic letters, with @ seal of red coral hanging from a white moire ribbon. Ladies are supplied with a crystal flagon of perfume when game is served. ’ MR. W. ©. STEIGERS merchants wishing to contract for ad. Ye Post-PasPatcs. wie ver’ _ “SATURDAY CHAT. ~ IF the average young lady were compelied to walk, jump or run, with only a few short inter. missions, or the average young man ordered to do the same thing, chop or saw wood, or do any other manual labor from 9 a. mi. to3 p. m., theré would be a howl of indignant protestation; in fact, they could not do it witnout feeling sore and worn out; yet it would be safe to wager that eight out of ten young ladies and gentlemen in the civilized world have hopped, skippea, jumped and rim like the occupants of the monkey cage on a spree, from 9 Pp. mM. to'S a. m., on several occasions within the last two weeks, without a sign-of weariness while it Was going ov. A delicate young lady whose cnlef articles of diet are malt, quinine and cod liver oil, and who would never dream of walking over a block at a time, will jump steadily for six hours on a stretch, and a consumptive young man whose friends are thinking of sending him to Florida or Texas, will grasp a hundred and fifty pound girl, and, under the spell of gallantry a German bana, will whisk her around for atheen consecutive minutes and keep it up all night. This is one of the puzzling problems of science. Of course we hear of young. men and women breakin® down and dying with great suddenness, but it is never from such a catisé.as this. © I8 THERE any factual foundation in fact for the prevailing tmpression that Chicago girls have big feet? The impression is certainly universal and prevailing, outside of Chicago at least, 1 was particularly struck with the strength and extent of this popular belief by the peculiar actions of the guests at an evening entertainment not Jong azo. There was a very charming young lady from Chicago among the number. She was Intro- duced to nearly every one in the house, and, with scarcely a single exception, after the introduc- tion and as soon as her place of residence became known, every one’s eyes instinctively and uncon- sciously took a rapid survey of her feet. It so bappened that the young lady could stand the ex- amination with credit, but I looked upon itas an overwhelming and triumphant proof of the pre- vailingness of the impression regarding the big- ness of Chicago feet, : AN English iron firm has tried ap experiment that [ feel sure will meet with the earnest good wishes for success of husbands, fathers and ‘en- gaged young men. The firm has manufactured some iron jewelry which, according to excellent authority on matters of taste, are marvels of unique Deauty. Of course, there are unpleasant associations clinging around iron bracelets Ana the like, which might inducea shrinking sensa- tion among some of our leaders of [ashion, but in case of the general introduction of the jewelry and a rage for it, the advantages on its side from &@ financial standpolat would, doubtless, compen- sate for all disagreeable sensations on the p art of baukers, brokers, railroad Kings and the moneyed men.” The only trouble is that the advantages in a financial way would operate against the, gew- gaws on the side ol swelipess, but it might be worth while for interestéd peuple to makeup @ purse and bribe several biue-blooded, slender pursed scious to make the first break in its [ayor, WHEN it comes to ingenvity in dress, the aver- age French woman takes the whole bake-shop, building and contents. Ome of the leaders im Parisian society recently appeared ata ball ina very V-shaped bodice, but, unlike most decollete costumes, the decolieteness was visible behind in- stead of infront. The lady had a rather scrawny neck and bust, but a pretty back. This may be looked upon as a revolutionary measure in favor of freedom from the ghains of fashionabie custom, and since the cilief degideratum in evening dresses is the exposition of charms, itis right ana proper that ladies should have entire Mberty of choice as to which portion of their charming selves will prove most effective. Still, there ought to be a limit somewhere, or all of our precon- ceived notions of feminine anatomy will be obfust- icated, If this thing is allowed to go on there is no telling where the bustle and other adjuncts of full dress will go to, and, with the low neck be- hind a fellow won’t know on which side to dance with a lady of in which direction she is going to walk until she starts off. ; AFTER weary waiting and hoping and longing, relief has come at last. The “Sweet Bye and Bye,” “Hold the Fort,” “Pull for the Shore,” and other pathetic and mournful ditties, the products of the combined geniuses of Moody and Sankey, which have been inserted into the key-board repertoires of barrel organs to try men’s souls, have been disposed of and laid npon the shelf, An assemblage of divines in New York formally and solemnly declared that the gospel songs of the firm above mentioned are exponents of bad grammar and of upsouad doctrine, and are not the proper spirit- ual food for childrem of tenderage. There isa lipgering fear, however, that this action comes too late, that the lugubrious discords have 80 per- meated society as to be ineradicabie for several years at least. We should be thankful, neverthe- legs, for this formal condemnation. 1 DON’T suppose there is a smoker who bites or stabs the ends of his cigars whe ever dreams that he is sinning against charity. It is, nevertheless, afact. There is a society called the Alms Guild which uses the proceeds from the saie of cigar ends, tin-foil and other apparently Useless knick-knaecks to support and educate poor children. This lesson of thrift in charity comes from Germany, where it was first started by a publisher, and where an asylum for 100 boys bas been sustained by this means. This society pow numbers 500,000 members, has 18,000 branches and enjoys an income from this source ef over $25,000. In nearly ali German and American cities the boxes of the society, for the reception of such articles, in the shape of little chapels, may be seen. In most cities there are boxes for the collection of papers, magazines and other little things for the poor and sick, but I don’s believe there are any in St. Louis, or, af ' least, if there are any, they are pla where no one can find them. Our charity m might utilize the hoteis and other places of public resort with con- siderable profit tn this way. YounG men looking tor good eatches and for opportunities of fliriation may e¢ongratulate themselves on a late departure in feminine aos- tumes. The fiat has gone forth in the centers of fashion that young married belles shall dress tn black at reeeptions, while of course the buds still cling to white. This will obviate the trouble and necessity of inquiries and intro ductions to discover whether young and charm- ing looking ladies are married or not. A slim who has a constitutional aversion to effort of any king can make out his biack ist immediately after a hurried glance at a group of femininity, and there wilt be no danger of provoking mistakes. This new idea simplifies matters wonderfully for sus- ceptible people and a sombre shade of dress wi! act as a rapid check on tender feelings. .- THE most mixed up manI have seen recently wasat the Southern a few eveningsago. He came into the hotel with his wife after the theater, stepped confidently to the key clerk that no man with that name had a room and a hot dispute ensued. Then be tackled the room clerk and the dispute was hotter; he searched the register, buthis name oouldn’$ be. found; the | signed for shipment and sale. ‘asked the name of the hotel. jis is the Southern,” wae the reply. “The Southern!” was the thunder-strack ocho, | and ina second two figures, male and female, were slinking out ofthe door in the direction of the Lindell, where their trunks were. ork THE WEEK ABROAD. ‘Tauren denies emphatically the rumor which ha | been going the rounds that the Prince of Waless had recently purchased a vast tract of land pear Kansas City. It characterizes the story as a film fam of the waning silly season. ; Tux trial and conviction of a Parisian restau- raunt for selling bad champagne under good and excellent labels has caused a number of frands to be brought to light. One paper states that artificial sardines are made of ‘eoarse fish and are disguised under a coating of gelatine and coloring matter. Snails, too, are ar- tificially made from the lights of calves, and are artistically seasoned so as to exactly resemble in taste the reai article, Ingenious Americans are ecused of improving on wooden nutmegs and coffee berries, and of making even artificial eggs to sell the unsuspecting foreigners, The yelks are compounded with phosphorous, the with albumen and the shell is constructed of lime, The only respect in which these imitations differ from genuine eggs is that they won’t hatch. A RussIAN priest.in the Province of Pskov has just been discovered to have been combining money-gaining and religion in an ingenious way, A vast quantity of human hair has been recently exported from St. Petersburg to France and En- gland, and on suspicions of fraud this priest, whose name is Seraphin, was arrested. It was found that he hada established a religious sect about a yeaf ago, every member of which on join- ing it bad to sacrifice bis or her hair as a symbol of obedience to the superior. Serapbin has a brother, a fashionable hair~iresser in St. Peters- burg, and to him the locks of his flock were con- The priest is in jail, and the faithful Serapninoyski have only his effects to recompense them for the less of their hair and new-tangled tenets. St. JAMES GAZETTE: “Times are, indeed, changed since the drama was religiously banished from the sacred precincts of the universities, and an Oxford undergraduate with a taste for theatri- eal entertainment had tocontent himself with a surreptitious visit to amusic hall to hear the great somebody or other deliver one of the choice ditties which had previously delighted a select audience in Holborn or in Lambeth. Now we have an authorized and fashionable dramati¢ club, countenanced by no less a personage than the Vice-Chancellor and numbering among its members those two classes of beings—once as irreconcileablejas fire and water—dons and ladies, On Tuesday the “Phtio-Thespians” gave their first Shakespearian performace to an enthusiastic au- dience in the Oxford town-hall. The ‘Merchant of Venice’ was the play selected and, considering that allthe performers were amateurs jand some very young, the performance was highly credita- bie.’”’ ONE of the principal attractions of the Louvre, the Venus of Milo, has just been taken down from its pedestal. and will not be replaced again for a year. The gallery on the ground floor, where it has hitherto been, has been found to be so damp that it was not thought safe to leave so valuable a work of art there longer. The statue has been packed with great care, and will remain so until the gallery shall be properly ventilated, In the meanwhile, however, an excellent repro- duction in plaster has been set up in the Salle Lacage for the delectation of visitors. A NEw religious prophets bas arisen in Khoras- san, and it is thought this may have great effect on the influence of the Mahdi, for, aecording to the almost general consensus of Mohammedan authorities, two other important personages are to appear about the same time as the true Mahdi. One of them is to be “aman ofthe children of Kahbtav,”’ who is to “drive the people before him withaatick.” The other is to be the false Mes- siah, and is described as having one eye and the word “cafer” branded on his forehead. Curiously enough, itis foretold that he will appear in Khor- assap, and hence this is considered the Mahdi’s opportunity. The new prophet predicts the es- tablishment of Ismamic Government within two years, and it is prophesied of the Antichrist that he will rule only 438 days, when he will be over- thrown by the Faithful. LEVY DAVID CERF, known as Pere David, who for torty years was the bead of the claque at the Paris opera, has died. He was born in 1793, on the day of the execution of Marie Antoinette, ana was present at the baitles of Lutzen and Leipzig. He was a St, Helena medallist, and re- tired from the Opera on the accession of the pres- ent manager. His mode of operation is thus de- seribed by the Figaro: “Seated in the front row of the pit, having a part of his forces around him, while the others were placed in the second gal- lery, he directed from his seat by his stick, the in- tensity and duration of the applause, A short, sharp rap on the floor meant that the claque was to confine itself to a moderate clapping of hands, but when he gave a rapid and prolonged move- mebt of rotation to his stick, his followers knew that they were to indulge in an outburst of en- thusiasm, recall the actor on the stage and give him an ovation,” STATISTICS show that there has been a startling increase in madness in France of late years. An investigation into the matter discovers that there were 34,000 lunatics in France in 1868, while now there are 60,000. The number of asylums amounts to 103, of which sixty-one are public and forty.two private. Last year 58,760 patients were treated in special establishments, of whom 26,656 were men and 30,104 women. Researches as to the average stay have showed that male patients are cured in 276, and female patients in 206 days. The treat ment varies in length, according to the disease, from 287 days to 398 days. THE London correspondent of the Figaro, who avd is considered good authority on such matters, an- : nounces as an accomplished fact the establish- ment of a permanent French theater in London, The Royalty Theater, recently reopened by Miss Kate Santley, has been secured for the purpose, and 4 reguiar French company will be kept on the boards there. ‘A winter season is to be given, for which Bernhardt and Judic have already been engaged, while the Mayand June performances at the Gaiety will still go on. Tux Col. Sartorius, whose name is now so prominently mentioned im connection with the operations at Suakim, must not be confounded, says the Whitehall Review, with the officer of the same rank and name who distinguished himself in the Ashantee war. The Sartorius of that cam- paign, who gained his Victoria Cross in Africa, is with his regiment in India. A third Col. Sarto- rius, and also a Victoria Oross man, is brother of the Ashantee hero, both being sons of the Senior Admiral of the fleet. POLITICAL DRIFT. Gov.

By Telegraph tothe Post-Dispatch. , New York, January 5.—The WoxRLD says: “If Roecoe Conkling ever assumed to be a ‘boss’ his brains and honesty gave him the right to leader- ship and commanded respect. But Warner Wood- pulp Miller has nothing but impudence, unscru- pulousness and familiarity with lobby practices to recommend him as a leader, and vulgarity an stupidity soon disgust the most characteriless o followers.” THE SUN. The Sun says: “Areform House of Represen- tatives was elected in 1882, and it is now organ- ized to retrench expenditures, to abolish sine- cures and to plug the bung-hole of waste and jobbery.

The latest is from a friend who says he had | story from O’Donnell’s own lips, with permission to publish it when further - ment was useless. lt purports to give the full details of the shooting of Carey, showing that the infamous informer was deliberately murdered. These assertions, whether they are true or not, do not matter much now to O'Donnell, Carey or the general public, but they ought to contami a pant many points of sad reflection for the hum representatives of the Irash vote in Congress.” THE TIMES.

I beg leave to call your attention to the great injustice done to tax-payers at the Wayman Crow School, situated between Leonard avenue and Bell street, Here the pupils are often sent home, the schoo! officials giving as an excuse that there is not sufficient heat fn the building. There the chilaren of that school lose considerabl time which should be occupied in advancement in their studies. Possibly the School d not know of the state of affairs at this institution of learning, else they woulda have everything justed so as to secure comfortable quarters here, as well as at the rest of the schools.

Itis not many years since there died in Monterey an Indian woman named Su ‘Cina, well known to all the people been the servant of F Serra, the founder of the he record of her baptism is in the church books, and she was 130 years old when she died. She, also, recollected carry- rying the mud mortar on her head at the building of the San Carlos chapel. When she lived she ranked Eumesia; but now Eu- mesia’s supremacy is indisputable; her lone- liness also. ow much she feels the latter no human being knows, for Eumesia speaks little. She has not a near relative in the world; she has nota roof of her own, but all doors in Monterey are open to her. Meet- ing her. one would not think of calling her a queen. Ih fact, I doubtif she has ever been called a queen except by the Swiss priest of the Monterey Parish, who first told me of her existence. Whenl asked him if there were still living any old Indians who recol- lected the founding of the San Carlos mis- sion, he said quietly: “It is, you know, since then,112 years; and there is yet one woman alive who helped to build the church, and if she could remem- ber she could tell many things; but hearing has gone away from her, andshe has now come to a childhood again,in which she thinksonly of the things when she was a child before and of what she shalieat. She is like a queen in this oy She is a beggar, but when she goes to a do@® of a house and says ‘I will come to eat a supper here,’ they auswer: ‘Very well. Come!’ and when she goes te another house and knocks and says, ‘l stay all night,’ they answer, ‘it is right. There is a bed.’ Sol say she is like a queen in the town. You might search for her many days and not find her. She is never still. She walks, walks, walks, and it couid be told in the morning where she will be at the night.” Finally, we foundfher. We had asked per- son after person—every one We met, no one had seen her thatday, At last,as we were standing hopeless, taiking with a Mexican boy about her, a very old Indian passed, carrying faggots on his back. Overhearing the word “Eumesia,” he halted, saying a few words in the Indian tongue. “he knows where she is,” exclaimed the boy. “He has justseen her. He will show ou the way.” ' He ied > te what is still called ‘““The Gov- ernor’s House,” though it has long since sunk into such a dilapidated ruin that most of its rooms are uninuabitable, and in those whith are still in a condition to keep out the wind and raih only afew poor Indian fam- ilies live. It was, in its time, splendid and spacious, extending across one side of a square, with dozens rooms opening into each other. Ali the brilliant festivity of Moute- rey’s palmiest days had a Center there. Span- ish Viceroys, miiitary and naval command- ers slept, dined, plotted, danced, and made ay with its low adobe walls, Many an hour ‘ather Junipero Serra, with his fervid heart full nf sbeorbing plans for the salvation of Indian souls, went toand fro in its rooms, pleading. arguing, reproaching, and oppos- ing, as the case might be, in his complicated relations with haughty aud worldiy Spanish officiais. Now the walls, and even the fireplaces, are hastiy with smoke, cobwebs, and soot; the Rearths are sunken and full of holes; rusty old cook-stoves awry on broken legs, stand in the rooms wherea few poverty-stricken Indians have huddied for shelter. A bench or two, and piles of bedding in corners, on the broken floors, are the only furnishings how of the Governor's pariors and ante- am bers. go one of these benches a half-tipsy Indian sat listlessly playing on an accordeon; his wife sat his side, idie, listless; two babies sprawledin the dirt at their feet, The man and woman looked at us half stolid- ly, half reseutfully, as we asked for “Eume- sia.”” Without rising they pointed to a door which stood open; she was in the yard be- hind the house, they said. If the yard had been a dumpiog-ground of refuse for cent- vries it could not bave been amore loath- some place. Half afraid, we treaded- our way toaspot where, on a mound of ashes and refuse of every conceivable sort, rum- maging it with a_ stick, her face bent low, her eyes sharply scanning each fragment of rubbage, kneit Eumesia, the queen. Her staff and a small pack of rags, rolled up in a straw mat, lay on the ground. An old gunny-sack was tied by twine around her shoulders. Her grizzly- ray nair stood outlike a bushen her head. ler skin was black, wrinkled, and hung in folds and welts on her chin; she could hear no voice except at a stentorian pitch; she could not stand straight; she crept rather than walked; she struggied up to her feet i n a- | with pantings and groans and totterings to right and left, involuntarily we stretched our hands out to steady her motions; agleam of surprise passed over her rayless face; it was like a giance fronwa dumb beast; she looked like nothing human, yet her ex- pression was not without dignity. She said she would talk with us in the house, not there. Hobbling across the room to a cor- ner by the stove, as to an accustomed spot, she threw down her pack and staff, and, after repeated efforts, with groans and sighs, succeeded in sitting down Cross-legged on the floor. Her head sank on her breast; her hands fell half lifelessly in her lap; she seemed to have forgotten our presence. After a few moments she recovered herself and began to talk; a pitiful tale it was: ‘No one gave her anything to cover her and keep ber warm,” and she iifted up the old guuny-bag to show how thin it was. “The roads were very bad; she had to journey many miles; and she could not see.’”’ The only gleam of strong interest she showed was in asking who of us were mar- ried. There was sumething infinitely touch- ing in this survivalin the darkened cham- bers of her brain of the recognition of the one master-passion of human souls. She turned her hail-sightless ¢yes from one to another of our party, eyidently seeking to assort us in eouples, **It is very good to have spouses,” she said, with some animation, but instantly fell back into her wail. “Noone gives me anything to cover me and keep me warm.”’ We puta tew bits of money in her hand, she clutched it eageriy, and, reaching out for her staff, made aii the haste she could to get upon her feet, ejaculating, ‘“Tobaceo!’’ Tobacco isa keener solace and comfort to her than any strong drink; itis the only physical sensation of pleasure left in her worn-out body. She was impatient to be gone, and we did not hinder; but not one of us will ever forget her face, the marvel of ber century-long endurance of hardsbip and poverty, and the stiange unconscious mock- ery there was in the good priest’s naming her queen.

Not only did the three judges differ as to the verdict, but they also fell out asto the ar. tistic talents of Sir Frederick Leighton, Lord Coleridge, as 1 understood his judg- ment, laid down that if artists say that two statues or pictures were not execited by the Same man, ail evidence of non-experts to Show that they saw one man do both should setaside.

A Catastrophe That Has Never Yet Be- fallen, Arehipald Forbes in Fortnightly Review. Than “‘annihilation” there is no more fa- word with the critics of maneuvers ~ ts. In a notice of a mimic bat- near Portsmouth, ip the ndon ‘Times of the day I write these lines, occurs this observation: ‘The ne of the fleet wouid have annihilated Col. Thomson’s advance on the left, along the seashore.” In is as a thing to 6‘“‘annihilate as y of troops as it is to kill a scandal. Ina literal sense there is scarcely a record of such a eatas- #rophe; if used in a figurative sense to sig- nify a loss so great as to put the force suffer- ing it hors du combat, there is amazing tes- timony to the quantity of “annihilation’ troops have accepted without any such pless result. Here are four instances taken almost at random. The Confederates, out oft 68,000 men engaged at Gettysburg, lost 18,000, but Meade held his band from in- terfering with their orderly retreat, Of that battle the climax was the assault of Pickett’s division, “the flower of Virginia,” against Webb’s front on the left of Ceme- tery Hill. Before the heroic Armitage calied - the “cold steel’ and carried Gibbon’s ttery with a rush, the division had met with a yariety of experiences during its mile and a halfadvance over the smooth ground up to the crest. “When it first came into sight it had been plied with solid shot: then half way across it haa been vigorously shelled, and the double canisters had been reserved for its nearer approach, An enfilad- ing fire tore through the ranks; the mus- ketry blazed forth against it With deadly effect.”” Thisis the evidence of an eye wit- ness on the opposite side, who adds, “*But it came on magnificently,”” Yea, itcameon to cold steel and clubbed muskets, and, after a desperate struggle, it went back foiled, to the accompaniments which had marked its advance. But, heavy as were its losses, it was not “annihilated.” Pickett’s division survived to be onceand again a thorn in the Federal side before the tinal day of fate came toit at Appomattox Court House. At Mars-la-Tour Alvensieben’s two infantry divisions, numbering cer- tainly not over 18,000 men (for they had al- ready lost heavily at the Spicheren Berg) sacrificed within a few of 7,000 during the long summer hours while they stood unsup- ported athwart the course of the French army retreating from Metz. But so far were they from being annibilated that forty-eight hours later they made their presence acutely felt on the afternoon of Gravelotte. In the July at- tack on Pievna, of tne 28,000 men with whom Krudeener and Schahovskov went in, they took out under 21,000, One regiment of the latter’s command last 725 killed and 1,200 wounded—about 75 per vent of its whole number—yet the Russtan retirement was not disorderly, and next day the troops were in resolute cohesion await- ing what mighé befall them. In the Sep- tember attack on Pievna, of 74,000 Russo- Roumanian infantry engaged, the losses reached 13,000. Skobeleff commanded 18,000 men, and at the end of his two days’ desper- ate fighting not 10,000 of these were left standing. ut there was no annihilation, either literally or conventionally, if one may use the term. ‘The survivors who had fought on the 11th and 12th of September were ready at the Word t© goin again on the 13th; and now they marched across the Balkans later is one of the marvels of modern military aistory. A Ma riage Well Certified. Washington Correspondence of Philadelphia Times. There were twenty-seven marriage Ccertifi- cates signed at the ratification of the civil contract in advance of the religious marriage ceremony between Miss Hattie Key and Capt.

Wien I got home my grandfather asked me how I spent the $5, and [, with the air of one who had done a virtuous action, said, ‘I did not spend it at all, grandiatner; I saved it ard have itin mv pocket.’ Whereupon my grandfather said: ‘You may give me back the money, William.

The Rus- sian noblemen speak kindly always to their inferiors; the Englishmen and Americans out of the South rarely ever. The Ruasian Empire is large and sparsely populated, so that the means of subsistence do not at all press upon the increase of pulation. In the large cities, as Isaid, no absolute suffer- ing for the necessaries of life is possible. Now as to prisons. There was at no time whilst I was in Russia, so far as I know and believe, one equal in its infamy to the Ken- tucky Penitentiary. And Gov. Blackburn deserves not denunciation, but eternal honor for his manhood and philanthropy, against the barbarian clamors of the press, for his reform. When I wasin St. Petersburg the cholera was several times in that city of 600,000, and there was no more sensation than if the measies or whooping-cough pre- valled. Every subject of the disease was taken at once to wholesome hospitals, well attended, and then, when convalescent, re-- turned without charge to their homes. The streets of St. Petersburg were an hundred times cleaner than the streets, alleys and back yards of Richmond, They never burned down the pest-houses in Russia, as they did the other dayin Madison county when small-pox prevailed. As to prisons aud Siberia, 1 am giad to have an opportuni- ty to refute some of the world-wide caium- nies of the anti-Russian press. Siberia is not so vile acountry as the Freuch penal colony of Cayenne, nor the original Austra- lia of England. ‘Three Siberiau-born ladies married nobles in St. Petersburg: one the Prince Suwarrow, the grandson of the Priuce Suwarrow of Napoleon’s time; the other sisters married well, one an officer in the staff of the Emperor. I have heard them speak of tne “Father-land” as would a Ger- man. And these were the descendants of Siberian exiles. Ido not hesitate to say, that of ali the people | ever knew the Rus- sians are the most genial and hospitabie. It is true the ranks in Kussia are very. distinct ahd marked; but the humane spirit of Rus- sia thaws all coldness, breaks all conven- tional barriers and fuses the whole into one nutionai feeling as in no other land. ‘That is the reason that Russiaus never emigrate. ) That is the reason of the invincible courage of the Russian army. What clumpiators call “stolidity” is uushaken and heroic patrioi- ism. It could fill a book of similar proof, but I hold: “Wad out some power the giftie gie us, To see oursels as ithers see us!” C. M. CLAY. WuitrE HALL, Ky., December 14, 1883. ADVICE TO SW EARERS., The §Unfitness of Eking Out Ideas With Profanity. R. J. Burdette. Nobody cares for the swearing ofan habit- uai swearer. His voileys of protanity have no terrorin them. They mean nothing. Is is the man who never swears who scares you out of your boots if once in a lifetime he does swear. So far as we can learn, Washington only swore once during ali the eight years of the revolutionary war. But that one time counted. It turned back the tide of retreat, changed a rout into a victory, and made things hum. But the felluw who swears On all occasions, and swears hot and cold with the same mouth, the intellec- tural pauper who ekes out his barren supply of ideas with an abundant crep of profanity, whose conversation isa long chain of mill privileges, aud who talks as a beaver works; his swearing is weak, tiresome, disgusting. So, if you want to swear With any effect, my boy, be very seldom aboutit. Be exclusive in your profanity, If you can’t get along without it, bring it out occasionally, like rare old family diamonds; @ou’t keep It run- ning six or eight hours a day, like the kit- chen hydrant: ; And—you won’t be offended, my son—but if you will observe closely you wiil perceive that young me, boys, fledgelings of about your age, swear more than men—more fre- guentiy, more awkwardly; with less point and direction. A man becomes ashamed of it. It belongs to the cigarette and matinee period of life, my boy. It isa habit that flourishes in the bread-and-bultter days.along somewhere between the high school and the college, aud while the blue ribbon on_ the diploma is bright. It belongs to what Puck s0 aptiy calis the “unsalted generation ;” the fresh ay nen. So pat it away and ut on manly things. r Lknow some good men, some of the best in the world, who will confound it, and even dog-gone it, and in New Bngland even a dea- con Bas been known, under a terrible strain, to “condemn.” But as a rule, my son, don't do it.. Don’t swear. It isn’t an evidence of smartness or worldly wisdom. Any foo! can swear. And a good many fools doit. 1, my gon? Ah, if you could only gather up all the useless, uncalled for, ineffective swears I have dropped along the pathway of my life, I know I would remove stumbling blocks from many inexperienced feet, and my teart would be lighter by a ton than it is to-day. But if you are going to be a fool just because other men have been, oh, my son, what a hopeless fool you wili be.

The re sistance of the helpless girl was futile, and for sevetal days and nights they traveled through the woods until they came to the American border near what is now the city of Toiedo. Here he halted, and ona p of desolate land known as the Hoe, in Maumee Kiver, he established what he was pleased to ca | his home; and it was here, in a rude log cabin, that the subject of this sketch first saw the Aight. Having torn the poor girl from her home and carried her to this late place, he as- sumed towards her all the relations of a hug band without the preliminaries of a mari and a few months after her arrival at Hoe she became the mother of a om girl. Whatever sentiment of love the brute of @ man felt for the poor defenseless gir! at the time of her abduction, he began to neglect her, leaving her fordays ata time alone with scarcely enough food to eat. Daylight was the only time she dare indulge in sium- ber, for at night she was engaged in keeping a fire burning in the doorway of the cabin to prevent the wolves from devouring her and her helpless babe.. In the meantime her parents haying searched the woods for weeks for some traces of their loved one, gave up all hopes of ever seeing her again, cunciuding that she had been devoured by bears or wolves infested the woods in those early days. At that date there resided in the neighbourhood of Grimsby a tribe of Indians who anaually went to Fort Niagara for the purpose of re- ceiving from the British Government their supplies, A party of these Indians going by way of Toledo were accosted by the captive giri, whe could speak their language, and to them she related the narrative of her suffer- ings, and begged of them that they would ou their return find out her parents and induce them ®to effect her rescue. This the Indians se ype one to do, and the sequel proves that they kept their words, for some six weeks later her father, accom- panied by four Indians, whom he employed as guides, found her in her wretched abode, and, together with her little one, took. ier back in joy to the little cabin in the woous near Grimsby. The shock to the poor girl’s nervous sys- tem proved too much for her, and at the age of 25 she died, leaving her littie daughter to the care of its grandmother, who is now hy- ing in the town ot Grimsby. Nothing was heard of the man form years, and it was supposed he was dead, when a few months ago he turned up in De- troit, and after a dilligent search tound his daughter and convinced her of tue genuine- ness of his claim, and at the same time de- siring her to recognize him as her father; but she, still remembering the wrongs suf- fered by her girl-mother, drove him from her door. . lt appears that upon the discovery of his loss he went tw California and there accuniu- lated a fortune. Returning he offered to share it with his child, but as before stated she retused to recognize him, preferring to support herself by washing and ironing. Why He Couldn’t Fight, From the New York Times. Two Brooklyn boys founda New Year’s card-case at Columbia Heights and Pierre- pont street yesterday noon. It was not a valuable card-case, but the boys at once quarreled for its possession, ‘The smaller of the two, a slim, little fellow. with red hair and a turned-up nose, displayea such a phe- nomenal ability in the matter of biood-curd.- ling threats and general braggadocio that the other boy, who hada head like a cannon- ball and a fist like the knotty end ofa ciub, felt compelled to give up the quarrel in dis- grace. gentleman who was passing asked the larger boy why he did not take forcible ossession Of the card-case, if he felt it was is by right of ae ee “Kin Llick ’im!’’ said the boy; “in course kin lick ’im.

Why, he kin talk biggern a prenenes, and nobody but a deaf boy up on Henry street dast tack him. I’vetried ’im more’n once, but he scares me off every time. Why, he’d scare the wits outen Suliivan.

Her residence was situated on the out- skirts of the little settlement, and for forty years t she occupied it by her- self, living on the charity of her neighbors. This morning the old cabia was discovered on fire, and before the few men who hurried to the scene could break open the dwvor, the whole structure was in fames. The of the old lady was found near the door when flames subsided, the flesh being compietely burned from the body. The origin of the tire is unknown, bat the eu sition is the oid lady attempted te light a fire and allowed some of the burning wood to fail on the floor.

After the Thanksgiving Day regatta fiasco at Valiejo, Cal, Edward Hanian publicly offered $1,000 to any Western sculier who wonuid defeat him in a three-mile with turn race, the contest to take piace in the vicinity of ‘Frisco. Austin Stevenson at once ac- cepted the defi, aud the race was arranged to take piace on the Sth of January. On Monday we recagved a telegram from San Francisco annvuncing that at Hanilaun’s re- quest the race had been postponed until the rege when it will probably be decided at vint of Pines, near Boston, Mass. The champion’s reasons for deferring the contest were that the East could furnisha better course, and wiiat is still of more importance, larger returns in the shape of gate moneys. —[fiurf, Field and Farm. urge Hi, Hosmer, the Boston sculler, ex- pects tov be busy during the coming season.

Hoswer is of the opinion that Ross will defeat Cour tney, and he doubts whether the Union Springs man could cope successfully with George W. Hosmer does not velieve that the pe- destrian exercise which he is now indulging in will affect in least his abilities as an oarsman, but thinks, owing to the great per- sonal care and physical training which his walking matches entail upon him, that he will be betier than ever with the spruces during the coming summer, It will be re- membered that Hanlan warned Hosmer not to walk more than one or two races if he wanted to retain his form and position as a sculler.—[{Turf, Fieid and Farm. column of that stuff, and not a word of truth in it.

The wéek ending has been marked by ex- ceedingly good business at most of the houses, and in some instances the houses have been. remarkably well filled. Roland Reed did a very large aggregate business at the Olympic. “Lights 0’ London” had an enormous run of big houses at the Grand, while “Her Atonement,” at the Standard, and “McSorley’s Inflation,” at Pope 8, show balances on the proper side for the week’s business. The weak attraction of the week was “Nobody’s Claim” at the People’s and man- agers should have learned long age that this style of drama is done to the very death, andit is the sheerest folly to persist in crowding it on the public, the result cannot pe otherwise than failure. a vason of the Wyndham Com- will be one of a — — ; : a ii he ig 2S sting, and, at the same time, the bright or cheeriest of the season. 7, must say that the bilis have a peculiarly “‘jolly look, to use ap Englishism, and a similar array 1 the comedy line has not been promised ~ St. Louis for many seasons.

I know that tis com- pauy wiil be as complete and perfect as it Was last season. ln regard to the comedian, l know of no better indorsement than was given by Timothy Quillin the Boston Her- ald; “Charles Wyndham is tae merriest ol! comedians. He is Charies Wyndham in ev- erything he does, but tiat is the beauty of it. There is but one Wyndham, and there Is such a delicious sparkie in bis acting, such a buoyant animation—he rattles through a cowedy with such a breezy svrightiiness, pull- ing iniaughter by the head and shouiders, that there is no resisting him. He is the life of every play for which the Criterion Theater and the Criterion company are not- ed. . He can probabiy create wore laughs in aminute than any other comedian eu the Stage. He is the embodiment of fun itself, the most irresistibie of ‘lhaiia’s votaries.”’ “ee The setting of the comedies will be elab- orate and beautiful. Pope’s is noted the country over for the elegauce with w ich its pieces are set, and during the Wyndnam en- gagement; this reputation will be faliy sus- tained, if not surpassed. Now, as the series of comedy will be under the adspices of the St. Luke’s Hvuspital directory, there is an eighi-sided reasun why everyvody shouid enjoy ove or more of the series. As for the choice, there is none; the nights are all briil- jant and pleasant, and so far as most of them are concerned, novelties are promised. St. Louis society will turn out in force dur- ing the engagement, but the general public wil) find the entertainwent of the best yei af- forded them. ii At the Grand Opera House the return of the Rice Surprise Party wili bea very inter- esting event, an’ thecumpany .s not only rich in the comeliness of its women, but in the musical and comedy talent of both fe- male and male membérs. George Fawcett Rowe's “Pop” has proven one of the most successful extravaganzas ever produced, and itis spiced with some very pretty music and mirthful interludes. Miss _ Irene Perry will introduce a pretty, new song: ““They’ve Captivated Me,” and will appear with George Fortescue in a very whimsical scene and duet. Kate Cas- tleton will sing her famous ‘*For Goodness bake, Don’t Say I Told You,” and Miss Mary Stemble and Miss Emma Hauley will give ‘Tyrolean warbiing. Join A. Mackay will introduce his fine imitations and George Fortescue will exhibit his baby elephant, dine company wili appearin a new sketch, “Lhe Dudes,” in scenes from ‘“‘Romeo and Juliet,” “Pygmation and Galatea” and in 4 Operatic potpourri. Such a rich feast in the line of extravaganza has been but sei- dom presented here. Of the company the Sau Francisco Argonaut says: “The leading spirit in the play is Mr.John Mackay, who is about as droil a comedian as we bave had for a Jong tiwe. He induiges in all manner of liberties with his audience, but as they are soon in entire sympathy With him, they receive each new absurdity with roars. There aremore pretty giris in this troupe than we have had on the stage here for some time. Miss Kate Castleten has wade quite a hit with a song entitled, For Goodness Sake, Don’tSay31 hold You.” There iis another bright little giri, Miss irene Perry, who, in addition to being very pretty, does some bright bits of speciaity ' acting, Miss May Stembier has a pleasant voice Which she uses effectually in solo. Altogeth«r the performance of Rice’s Sur- prise Party is an eutertain'ng one. The reproduction of that fine drama, “The Romany Rye.” at the Olympic will fittingty eupplement the great success achieved by The Lights o’ London” at the Grand. The dramas areof the same class in the new blyle of English realistic dramas, and one of the best of that kind of plays—much better, indeed, than most of those which have been given here, “The Komany Rye” is invested ee a beautiful and romantic story which ‘partly pastoral in its nature and makes ransitions to the mysteries and terrors of ow life in London, which are depicted with wonderiul force and power. The thrilling and startling seenes follow in sharp and stirring succession, and it is certainly one r the most pretentious and impressive pro- suetions of tbeday. The cast will be one of e best ever given to this fine production. It will receive i ; sreaine ts first production on Sunday The coming § pany ai Popes “Withered Leaves” and “Household Fairy” and “Cozy Couple” and “But- “Uncle’s Will” and (matinee), “Cozy Richard Mansfield, the clever oung En- glish actor, bas made one of the tet stelikcin aud remarkable successes of th d one Whicti has comparatively fe ee on the stage of the Union Square setter ina small part which had been re- by one of the favorites of the culm pa- ataee 40 almost unknown actor, Mr. Mans- found himself famous befure the even- ome Ben eb work arent on record as pieces of character work to the stage of w-day. ‘To-morrow ev he returns to the People’s Theater as ‘| a star, and those who saw his brilliant work asa member of the Union Square Compan will not nealect to enjoy his superb wor again. Of this assumption the independent critic of the Chicago News says: ‘The Baron Chevrial of Mr. Mansfield is the domi- nating figure on the stage. When he is on,he fixes the attention of the audience upon him- self, and when he is not on the scene,, the icture he presents lingers in the memory. r. Mansfield has the rare faculty of entire- ly losing his own identity in the part he is playing. Face, voice, gesture, re, move- ment, changes with the cuaracter. Mr. Mans- field steps into the shell of the sensual mi!l- jonaire, and pulls the strings that move him with a certainty natural only to the most fin- ished artist. . . . No onecan fail to ad- mire the genius of Mr. Mansfield’s concep- tion, revolting as it e ' be, and the adinir- able effect made upon his audience. A Parisian Romanee’”’ will be very powerfully east, and provided witharich and elegant series of scenic acts, which will make it compare favorably with its New York pro- duction. * 2. Miss Ida Siddons and her buriesque com- pany made a palpabie hit at the Standard on their first vésit, and the patrons of the house will . well pleased to note their return. There are an unusual number of handsome girls in the company, and an abundance of speeialty talent, But not the least interesting feature will be the performance of the original Spanish students, who are now a feature of the cow- any. It will be remenibered that these armony-makers from Andalusia afforded one of the most unique and beautiful musical entertainments ever given here, and indeed can provide an entire performance them- selves withovt wearying their auditors. Their work on the guitar and bandoli e is such as only Spaniards can produce, and it is remarkable. The Seddons Company will give their first performance to-morrow (Sun- day) evening. ses & Edward’s Theatre Comique will make an entire change of bill on Monday evening, and the present excellent entertainment will be repeated to-night and at the performance to- morrow. It is a very popular place of amuse- ment and the rates.of admissiou are exceed- ingly light and within the reach of all. ‘There is always afull bill of noveities to be en- joyed, and next week a number of new faces and new performances are promised which are fully up to the excellent standard of the house. *#* The attractions at Gregory’s Dime Ma- seu next week are indicative of the man- agement’s intention to keep up its record for noveity, and are as follows: ‘The Aztec man and woman, just brought from Europe bv P.

CHFRUB. The Boston Ideals. The Boston Ideal Opera Company will be- gin a week’s engagement at the Grand on Monday, January 17. The principals are Marie Stone, Geraldine Ulmar, Mathilda Phillipps, Liazie Burton, Tom Karl, Herndon Morsell, Myron W. Whitney, H. C Barna- beer, W. H. MacDonaid and George Froth- ingham. The repertoire is as follows: Mon- day, “Fatinitza;” Tuesday, “Mus«xeteers,;” Wednesday matinee, ‘Pirates of Penzance ;” Wednesday, “Girofle Girofla;’” Thursday, “Fra Diavolo;” Friday, “Marriage of Figa ro:” Saturday matinee, “Musketeers ;”’ Sat- urday, “Bohemian Girl.” Stage Splinters. Frederi¢k Warde has purchased a@ new tragedy entitied ““Memnon,” written by Mr. Henry Guy Carlton, the edit or of Life,which he intends producing upon the cluse of the season .“‘Memnon”’ is described as a work of great power and beauty.. It was to have been produced by John McCullough, who stands in dread, it is s:id, of new plays. Mr. Warde is now acting With great success in the South. ‘The one act piece written by Mr. S. W. Gilbert for Mary Anderson will be produced abvut the 15th of January, and will be called ‘Tragedy and Comedy.” It tells the story of a virtuous actress, who, being persecuted by a noble libertine, gives him a rendezvous and thus places him in the power of her hus- band, who kills him in a duel. While the fizhtisin progress the heroine entertains the friends of her lover, who suppose that her anxiety touching her husbana’s fate is werely simulated for their enjoyment. Hence the title. Many complaints were made in New York by actors against Christmas matinees. If Tuesday were a criterion by which to judge, they were rigntin their views. The ‘ifth Avenue receipts were $280, while most other theaters did not reach that amount. Sheridan as Louis XI at .he Star Theater had perhaps the best house. “‘Pop,” played at the Fourteenth Street to nearly an empty house, but the Surprise Party gave a very spirited performance, ‘The heavy fall of snow told greatiy against the theaters, and the family circle was, as a rule, the best pat- ronized part of the house. A London correspondent says of Mary Anderson’s debut as Galatea: “‘Miss Ander- son, although very nervous—which trepida- tion was increased by the presence on the stage of Mr. Gilbert, the author; Alma Tadema, Count Gileichen, Luis Wingtield and a host of other artists—all giving her advice of different kinds; but ‘Our Mary’ listened to all, smiled and bowed her thanks, but followed her own ideas, and scored the greatest triumph of her life. Every point Was caught up by the excitable audience, and long and loud were the calis after each act; three or four times after the curtain went down sheand the others were com- pelled to answer. At the end of the play call after call rang through the house, and a wiid cheer went up when Miss Anderson hauled Mr. Gilbert across the stage, appar- ently much against the modest author’s wish. Several vid actors and actresses said they ‘had never in their lives seen such an enthusiastic ovation in any English theater.’ One paper said ‘Miss Anderson came, saw and conquered,’ and I say hat the enthusi- astic approval of Parthenia was _ great, Pauline greater, and Galatea greatest!’ Many inquiries having been made segarding Mile. Fouquet siuce her success here, the npg | Dae - og are furnished regard- ing the lady: Mile Jeanne Fouquet, after years of study with Roger and Boulaugzer, made her debut at the Grand Opera House, Paris, in “Wiliam Teli,” eignt years ago, and won an immediate and pronounced success, which was heartily confirmed by her subsequent te pao as Marguerite. After singing at Paris some five years, she visited Brussels, Milan, Lyons, Geneva, anda other cities, everywhere eliciting the warm- est testimoniais of approval. She made a Great hit in Parisas Oph-lia in Ambroise ‘homas’ opera, “Hamlet,” a part she stud- ied with the composer himself. She came to America in 1882 underan engagement with M. Defossez, director of the French opera, New Orleans, and last season sang in New Orleans, Galveston and the City of Mexico, with the Defossez company, in the last men- tioned city creating a genuine furor, the ex- citable Mexicans shouting themselves hoarse todo her honor. Financial difficulties made it impossible for M. Defossez to secure her for another season, aud so a month ago she accepted au offer from Manager Grau to ap- pear with bis opera bouffe coinpany, taking the place of Mile. Nixun, though in voice, stage presence, and dramatic ability she has approved herseif fuily qualified to take the leading roles in grand opera, Since joining this company she has sung in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Chi- and won the fullest recognition as a cago finished artiste. Splinters, The ea uake scene in “Claudian.” new play ole Wills and ee Mp ‘Judd, the famous chess players, cently produced in the Princess’ Theater, London, is said to present one of the most es illusions ever witnessed upon’ the stage. “The Beggar Student” is at present being plavedin three citie.x—New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. . McCaull’s Company, now playing in Chicago, also carries it in its repertoire, and the Thalia Theater Company presents it occasionaliy in New York. Mr. Charles Coghlan has been “gm d engaged to play the partof Captain Brad- forainthe play of “Peril,”” which will be performed by Mrs. Langtry. This is an adaptation by Messrs. Stevenson and Clem- ent Scott from the French of Sardou, and has been played in London. Mile. Nevada entertained Lotta and her mother handsomely during their visit to Paris. Lotta in return presented Mlle. Nevada with a magnificent jewel butterfly, the body composed of a large black pearl, the tail sapphires, the eyes rubies, and the wings entirely of diamonds. Salvini will in a brief series of perform- ances in Covent Garden Theater, London, on the lstof March. There is a report that he willessay Hamlet in English, but this is scarcely credibie, as Salviui has aiways de- clared himself too old to undertake to study so difficult a tongue. Local Stage Notes. ‘ The sale of single seats for the Terry- Irving season will open January 11, when the repertoire forthe several performances will be announced. In the meantime the sale of season tickets is progressing steadily and is very large. 7 **Lights o’ London” at the Grand, “McSor- ley’s Inflation” at Pope’s, Roland Reed’s “Cheek” at the Ors “Her Atonement” at the Standard and ““Nobody’s Claim” at the People’s receive their last representations this afternoon and evening. The Yale Students had a large audience at the Pickwick last evening, and the glees and ola college soags were applauded to the echo. Charles H. Bradshaw, the comedian of the “Lights o’ London,” was educated in the same school as was Roland Reed—the Wal- nut Street Tueater, Philadelphia. He is not an Englishman, as many suppose, but the son cf Capt. Bradshaw, one of the best known and esteemed old citizens of the Quaker City, who died some ten years ago. CLUB CHAT, Election of Officers at the University— Doings at the Other Clubs. ° There has been little or no excitement in and about the club corridors this week. The new year dawned smilingly upon the roofs of some of them, while the frown of the old year rests like an ominous shadow on others. Two clubs passed quietly out of existence during 1883, the Press Ciub and the West End. One closed its doors when the green grass came peeping upon the hill-tops and the other in those “‘welancholy days,” the ‘saddest of the year.”” What this vear has in store fur our clubs it is difficult to conjecture. Two or three of them enter upon it with a rather large outstanding indebtedness. Itis to be hoped, however, that these will be soon wiped out and a new era of prosperity opened up before them. The regular annual meeting of the Uni- versity Club takes place Tuesday eveni ig next, the 8th instant, at 8 o'clock. The usual! annual reports of the treasurer and board of directors will be read, and be followed by the election of officers forthe ensuing year. . Judge Breckinridge will undoubtedly be unanimously re-elected president. Mr. J. S. Garland will be re-elected secretary and Mr. Huntington Smith treasurer. The only changes liable to be made will be in the dl- rectory and one or two of the vice-presi- dents. A number of tickets have been past- ed on the bulletin board and the prospects are that the meeting will be both lively and interesting. The Mercantile Club kept “open house” on New Year’s Day, The egg-nog and champagne punch-bowls were not neglected by such of the mémbers and their friends asx were in the vicinity that day. Mr. James Milvurng@ entertained Messrs. Zukertort aad toxether with a party of gentlemen, at the club-house last Wednesday evening. Mr. Anson anda party of ladies and gentiemen who attended the theater last night adjourned tothe Mer- cantile after the performance, when an ele- gant junch was served them in one of the private dining-rooms. There will be no entertainment to-night at the Germania Club, Next Saturday evening the Tredway Ritles will give an exhibition drill tu be followed by a hop. At the Harmonie Club on the 16th inst., Miss Rosenheim, daughter of one of the members, will be marriedto Mr. Bloom of Cincinnati. This wiil the first event of the kind that has ever taken place in thénew club room. The Spanish-American Club will hold its regular annual meeting on the 16th of this month. The annual election of officers takes piace in February. THE HOUSEHOLD. _— Retail Rates of Sundry Supplies That Cheer the Inner Man. The vegetabie market is brisk this morn- ing.

So large and representative was the gathering that it was the outspoken opinion of many that the vominee of this regular caucus wouid be sure of election. The Francis element ob- tained the first advantage in the election of Col. D. P. Grier as chairman, as the vote on this question showed very: plainly the strength of the two factions. D. R. Francis was put forward for the presidency by Gov. E. O. Stanard, and seconded by Charles F. Orthwein, who were followed by M. McEnnis and Jerome Hill, nominating and indorsing frank Gaiennie. The ballot taken showed 995 votes cast, of which 606 were for Francis and 389 for Gaiennie. Mr. Francis was declared the nominee of the reguiar caucus. For the vice-presidency Seth W. Cobb, Capt. John P. Keiser aud Charles W. Barstow were putin nomination. The vote resulted in 398 for Cobb, 384 for Keiser and 318 for Barstow. Cobband Kei- ser having received the highest number of votes, were declared the nominees. Before the nomiaations for the directory were be- gun,a communication was read from Presi- dent J. C. Ewald, id which he stated that he did not wish to allow his name to go before the caucus as a candidate for director; that there was an unwritt-n law of the Exchange whereby the outgoing president was ected for two years to the directory, but thit he did not wish the position, and wished that his name would not be voted upou. The caucus, however, would not listen to President Ewald’s re- quest, and upon a motion by Web M. Sam- uel, Mr. Ewald’s name was adopted by ac- clamation. This left. four vacancies for the Board of Directors, for which were named R. S. McCormick, by 169 votes, D. H, Bart- tett by 165 votes, W. Chandler by 134 rotes, and Phil C. Taylor by 116 votes. A comtuittee was appointed to select the eom- mittees of arbitration and appeals, and also to supply ali vacancies that may occur on the ticket, alter which the cau- cus adjourned. An opposition caucus was held this afternoon in the Exchange Hall, for the purpose of nominating Frauk Gaiennie for the presidency aud a compiete ticket in opposition to the Francis caudi- dates.

Mr. Doublechin was one of those infatuat- ed old gentiemen who imagine themselves lAdy-killers. He was stout and elderly with @ bald head and a fatuous smile. He had a wife and a grown-up family of unmarried daughters, and in the domestic circle he was a model of a staid and respectable paterfam- jlias. The fact was that he was kept in ex- eelient order at home, and was dreadfully But being a _ busi- ness man he escaped from the thraldom of domestic discipline for several hours every day, and he availed himself of his liberty to indulge in mild flirtations whenever an op- rtunity occurred. if he meta pretty girl og railway train or about the streets he would tilt his hat over his eye and look un- utterably wicked. But the chief objects of his gallant attention were the young ladies who presided at the refreshment bars of city restaurants where Mr. Doublechin was ac- customed to take his midday meals. He might have been discovered any day be- tween 12 and 2 o’clock perched on a three- legged stool ogling and flirting with some fair Hebe who winistered to his creature comforts. Tobe sure, there was nothing very singular in his conduct in this respect, for a great many elderly gentiemen, who are fondly imagined by their wives and daught- ers to be amareed m business all day, find leisure for this form of amusement. There was one young ladyin particular tonic admiration. She was the presiding deity ata quiet refreshment-bar ina city thoroughfare which shal! be nameless. Suaf- fice it to say that Mr. Doubiechin found his way there very often, and spent a good deal of his time atthe feet of his fair ensiaver. He calied her by her Christian name, and conversed with her on terms of pleasant fa- miliarity. She was rather a sprightly young lady, with ataste for practical joking, but she had always been tender and sympathetic in her demeanor towards Mr. Doubiechin, who imagined he had made quite a con- quest. , One day he brought out of his pocket a ring belonging to his wife which he was tak- ing to the jeweler’s for some trifling repairs. To do Mr. Doublechin justice, he had never attempted to pass himself off as a single man, but talked freely of his wife and fami- ly at every restaurant he frequented. Miss Stubbs, for instance—tbat was the name of this particular charmer—knew of everything that went on in Mr. Doublechin’s domestic circle, including the price of his wife’s new set of false teeth and his hopes ot getting one of his daughters married to the curate. On this occasion he handed the ring to Miss Stubbs for inspection, and explained that it was ops of the presents he had given his wife during their courtship. Miss Siubbs went into ecstasies of admiration over it and ended by slipping it on ber finger. “It is quite lovely!’ she exclaimed. “It certainly looks very well on your dear little hand, Emmy,’”’ said Mr. Doublechin. “Oh, indeed! What would you ay now, ff I couldn’t get it off my dwar little hand?” remarked Miss Stubbs, arehly. “Would you like aring to wear as a little keepsake, Emmy?” inquired Mr. Double- chin, lowering his voice and looking as ten- der as possible. “A bird in the hand, you know,” returned the young lady, still admiring the ornament. “Besides, I really can’t get it off—honor bright! Try yourself.” ‘It certainly was a tight fit, as Mr. Double- chin discovered when he endeavored to re- move it. But the truth was, be did not try very hard. ‘The pleasure of holding Miss Stubbs’ hand between his own, and the be- seeching glance she bestowed upon him, proved too much for his strength of mind. After amoment’s hesitation he gave her hand a parting-squeeze of the tenderess de- scription and abandoned the ring to her. He felt a twinge of remorse and uneasiness, but Miss Stubbs’ profuse thauks overcame his scruples, and he consoled himself with the reflection that he could buy his wife a better ring in piace of this one. Fortunately for him his wife was not addicted to senti- men and when Mr. Doublechin explained that he had parted with her oid ring in part payment of a new and more valuable one, she raised no objectious and expreased no re- grets. : Shortly after this Miss Stubbs suddenly left hey situation, and disappeared from the shring where Mr. Doublechin had been ac- med to worship her. He bore her de- rture with equanimity, and speedily at- hed himself tosome other young lady of and attractions. he incident of the ring passed from his mind completely, until he was unpleasantly re- minded of itsome months aiter in the fol- lowing manuer : He was seated in the snug sitting-room in his villa at Balham one evening after dinner with his wife and daughters, when the ser- vant announced that a gentieman wished to see him, at the same time handing him the visitor’s card. : “Inspector Potts, of the city police!’’ ex- claimed Mr. Doublechin, with a start, as he rubbed his eyes. “A police officer? Bless my soul! What can he want, 1 wonder,” ejaculated Mrs. Doubiechin, looking alarmed, while her dauchters raised a chorus of inquiries. *“] can’t imagine,” observed Mr. Double- chin, in a great fluster, as areadful thoughts ofhis safe at the office having been rifled flashed across his mind. “Show the gentle- man in. Eliza,”” he added, pulling himself ther. he Inspector made his appearance a moment afterwards, and turned out to be an odd looking little man in private clothes. He saluted the ladies with a bow, and turned to Mr. Doublechin— “Sorry to trouble you, sir,” he saidina business-like tone, ‘‘but I was instructed to call and ask if you know a young woman named Emily Stubbs ?”’ “Do you, Joseph?’ inquired his wife, sharply, as Mr. Doublechin gave a palpable ter. “Never heard the name beforein my life,’’ oe, Gere. in desperation. “So we expected,sir. May I ask — as rec- ize this?’ said the officer, producing a na, wrapped in a piece of tissue-paper, and holding it out for inspection. “Why, Joseph! I do deelare itis my old ring!’’ inteposed Mrs. Doublechin, in ac- cents of re surprise. “Oh! pooh! Nonsense, my love,” ex- claimed her husband, scenting serious dan- ger in the air, and seeking to look uacon- \ ’ “‘My dear Joseph, I should know it - thousand. that i Why, heré is the stone chipped! It is nonsense to pretend you don’t yecoegnize it,” said Mrs. Doublechin, with a e of sudden suspicion. “Of course, my dear, you know best,” said tr. Doublechin, trembling with. apprehea- and vague misgivings. | lon “How did you come by it?” inquired his wife, addressing the Inspector. “A young party giving the name of Emily Stubbs attempted to pawn it, but was de- tained. On being asked to account for it, she said it was given to her by this gentle- man,” answered the Inspector, with a glance at the unhappy Mr. Doublechin, ‘‘and I was sent to make inquiries.” | * “Never heard of the woman in my life, asseverated Mr. Doublechin, putting on @ boid front and facing his wife’s scrutinizing gaze. “Tt is very singular,” remarked Mrs. Doublechin, while her daughters exchanged glances. ‘‘What sort of a person is this—this creature, Inspector?” “A very ordinary sort of young person, [ believe, ma’am; but I haven’t set eyes on her myself,” said the ee with a side- glance at Mr. Doublechin. “How did she get hold of your name, Jo- seph ?” demanded his wife. oF ‘ ‘She bed got it pat enough, certainly,” in- sed the inspector. HOW the deuce am I to know?” returned Mr. Doublechin, quite fiercely. ‘Well, sir,” said the Inspector, taking pos- session of the ring again and replacing it in his pocket, “‘I was bound to make inquiries, of course. If we had believed the young woman’s story, I should not have come down here, I shall have to ask you to attend at the Mansion Huuse to-morrow morning at 11 o’clock.” ‘‘Why?” asked Mr. Doublechin uneasily. “The young woman will be broucht up for not being abie to give a satisfactory account of the ring. If she insists on her story your being there may save a remand,” exclaimed the Inspector. *‘We may have to put you in the witness-box, sir.” “Very well,” returned Mr. Doublechin, faintly, while beads of perspiration broke out upon his brow. The Inspector made another bow and backed out of the room. Mrs. Doublechin sat with her eyes fixed upon her husband’s face and never uttered a word until the slain- ming of the hall door reverberated through the house. Uponthis Mr. Doubiechin iin- mediately jumped out of his chair with the evident intention of rushing after the In- spector. “Stay here, Joseph,” said his wife, ina very peremptory manner. “‘My dear, I wish to speak to the Inspect- ” he ventured to say, mildly. “You can have nothing more to say to him. I wantto know the meaning of this, Jo- seph,” said his wife, in an awful voice. Mr. Doubichin was so cowed and terrified by this aspect of his helpmate that .he plumped back into his easy chair and faced her like a stag at bay. For ten minutes by the clock he was subjectéd to a vigorous and searching cross-examination, the drift of which plainly showed that his wife was not deceived by his denial. But he was fairly desperate, and his story was too simple to entrap him into mistakes. He stoutly averred that he had sold the ring to the jew- elers, and had never set eyes on Emliy Stubbs. Tothis unveracious statement he persistentiy clung, and wisely did noi at- tempt to offerany suggestions of how his name had come to be mentioned. His wife was fain to drop the subject for the montent from sheer helplessness, but the. expression on her face warned him that she would re- turn to the charge. Meanwhile, however, he was thankful for the respite, which he took advantage of to endeavor to collect his ideas and to realize the situation. But his retlections only served to turn his uneasiness into another channel. From what the inspector had said it was clear that he held poor Emily Stubbs’ fate in the hollow of his hand. If: he denied giving her thering she would probably be convicted of having come by it dishonestly. Of course this was out of the question, but, on the other hand, it wou!d never do to run the risk of his guilty secret reaching his wife’s ears. He felt convinced that ii the case came into court she would be sure to hear of it, and he shuddered to think of her furious rage and indignation when she learned he had deceived her. It naturally occurred to him that if he had seen the in- spector in private all this unpleasantness might have been averted, and then it struck him that it might not be too late to remedy the evil, Glancing at his watch he perceived that the inspector must be still waiting at the station for the London train, and he might easily have atalk with himand set matters straight before any harm had been done. Mr. Doublechin took heart at this idea, but reeived that he must be cautious, for, if is wife suspected his errand, she would be yretty sure to put difficulties in the way. fe therefore did his best to look cheerfully indifferent, and presently said in a casual way: “My dear, it is very warm in-doors to- night.” ‘Really!’ ejaculated his wife,ina tone which would have chilled a refrigerator. “Yes. I—Il think Il will goand smokea cigar outside for ten minutes,” saiu Mr. Doublechin, jauntily. “*Nonseuse, Joseph. You don’t stir out- side this house to-night. You were com- epee of acold at dinner-time; it would € suicidal of you to expose yourself to the air. His wife’s answer was reasonable enough ; but it was her tone rather than her’ words which convinced Mr. Doublechin that he must abandon his design. For the remain- der of the evening he sat in his arm-chair in astate of mental perturbation which defies description, shrinking guiitily whenever he encountered his wite’s gaze, and feeling more and more unequal to the situation. Under these circuinstances it may easily be imagined that poor Mr. Doublechin passed a sleepless night. His wife, to be sure, affected to believe that he was utterly incapable of the meanness and wickedness of giving presents—and especially that par- ticular ring—toa young womau. But the vehemence of her asseverations plainly showed that they were not based upon con- viction, and Mr. Doublechin groaned when he thought of the life tha: was in store for him if the truth should come out. Searcely less appalling was the prospect of being forced in self-defense to give false evidence against au innocent person, Which involved a charge of perjury, should his perfidy be discovered. he onty way out of the difi- culty which he could devise was to start ear- ly for town the next morning, and endeavor, by means of bribery, to hush up the case and obtain the unlucky giri’s release. This re- solve comforted him a littie, and enabled him to snatch an hour or two of troubled slumber. In the morning he got up the mo- ment he was calied, andin the midst of his shaving operations he remarked, as careless« ly as possible: “My dear, l wish to catch the 8:25 this morning. iam very busy atmy office.” “We shall have pienty of t:me,”” returned his wife. “Did—did you say ‘we,’ my dear?” asked poor Mr, Doublechin, with a start. “Yes, Joseph. Lam curious to hear the end of this extraordinary case,” said his wife, with emphasis. Mr. Doublechin was so startled by this an- nouncement that he inflicted a severe gash upon his chin, which at least served to cover his confusion. His wife’s intention of ac. companying him to the court meant that she would discover everything, It was useless to struggle against fate, for he guessed in- stinctively that she would not suffer him to leave her side and get the chance of carrying out his little plans. So utterly disheartened did he feei that it Was only sheer cowardice which prevented him from making a clean breast of his iniquities. Luckily for him however, he did not do so; and if the truth were known it is probable that his stolid air of gloomy resignation, whish was entirely due to silent despair, passed muster for calm equanimity. Toward the end of the journey to town, however, he began to manitest visible symp-_ toms of extreme uneasiness. The near ap- proach of the ordeal which he dreaded was proving too much for his nerves. When the train reached the London terminus he was seized with a frenzied desire to get his wife out of the way—for an hour, at all events it was absolutely his last and only chance of avoiding the dire catastrophe which threat. ened him, and desperation spurred his in ventive spirit, with brilliant results. Turn- ing to his wife he said, as calmly as he could summon up: “I think | had better put you into a cab, my dear. I must positively run round to my Office first.” **W here am I to go to, then?” inquired his wife guardealy. “To the-Mansion House, and ask for In- specter Potts. I will join you in a few min- utes, The su tion was so natura! and plaus- ible that Mrs. Doublechin apparently did not doubt nis good faith. She suffered him to lead her to a hansom cab, and took her seat inside it. : “Where to, sir?’’, inquired the cabman. ‘To the Mansion House,” said Mr. Double- chin loudly, so that his wife could hear; and,”’ he added with intense earnestness, as he lowered his voice, “for heaven’s sake! go by way of Hampstead and Highgate.”’ “By way of where?” gasped the cabman. Here,” said Mr. Doubjechin, putting a couple of sovereigns into the man’s_hand, rhe lady wants to go the Mansion House; but you mustn’t get her there for a couple of hours. Do you see?” A wink, more eloquent than words, con- vinced Mr, Doublechin that the cabman had grasped his meaning. When his wife had disappeared from view, hes like an arrow from the bow in the. direction of the Mansion House, and never stopped until he had gaspingly asked tor Inspector Potts. rhe rest of the story is soon told. It turned out that there was no sach person as In- spector Potts, and Mr. Doublechin then real- ized that he had been hoaxed. At first he was furious with rage and indignation, but he calmed down after awhile; and when his wife at length made her appearance, looking very, pale and agitated, in consequence of the cab-horse having, as she innocently believed, run away, and borne her to a distant part of the metropolis, he forgave his enemy on the spot. Mrs. Doublechin suffered herself to be easily convinced of the truth of her lord’s representations, and returned home in a sub- dued and apologetic frame of miad. As for Mr. Doublechin he wisely resolved to profit by the lesson he had received, and to make no more presents to young lady acqnuaint- ances; but to this day he has been unable to ascertain which of his young Stock Exchange colleagues personated the soi-disant Inspect- or Potts, though he soon discovered to his cost that the joke was generally Known in **The House.”’ Wells’ Health Renewer cures dyspepsia, impotence* ——__ _ ____ REPORTING A BANQUET.

Boston Letter to the Chicago Tribane, There is no more characteristic.institution in the whole city of Boston than the Thurs- day Club. For thirty-five years it has gone on its smooth way, making little goise in the newspapers and having no abi celebra- tions, but inciuding some of the m6st distin- guished and able men in the city or State. and holding meetings which for richness and variety could hardly be equaled. Its plan of organization is in itself @nique. It has a president and secretary, who, ex-officio, are members of the Election Comunittee, five others being associated with them. While no pretense is made of keeping this com- mittee a secret one, nothing is ever said about it, its membership is never - ap- nounced and it fills its own vacancies, so that very few individuals have any exact idea of its composition. The membership of the club is absolutely in the hands of this committee. It selects whom it pleases, sends them invitations to the. meet- ings and then if after trial a gentleman does not seem of any especial value to the organ- ization he is dropped by the suspension of his invitations. The whole system is beauti- fully simple. The club is about half made up of a num- ber of leading business men, who are select- ed, first,with reference to their ability to ap- preciate the work of the club, and, second, to their ability and willingness to entertain it from time to time. Such entertaining is in no Way obligatery, although it is understood that to the wealthy members this duty be- longs, While to the literary and professional! members is left the care of furnishing the mental portion of the programme. Pains are taken to have the different professions represented, and the general scheme js to have a report of progress tn any important investigations or discovery. Thus the tele- phone, the photophone and a nuwiber of other strictly scientific inventions have been exploited at the Thursday Club long before bool public know of them more than by 1ame.

Why Many a Nymph and Many a Swain Biess with Joy the Name of Raine, From the Lundon Telegraph. In the year 1719 Henry Raine a wealthy brewer, and a parishioner of St. George's. in-the-Kast, determined to do something sound and practical for the parish in which his great wealth and prosperity. The imple $8 great we and pros y. m words of this fine old gentieman’s will show oe spirit that animated his pious inten- ons: “Whereas it has pleased Almighty God from a small beginning to raise me to a plen- tiful fortune, and to enable me to assist we relations, who, by God’s blessing on-t endeavors, no longer need my assistance, I think it my duty, in gratitude, to God to the precepts of Christian charity, to settle artefmy substance tor charitable uses.” @ proceeded to do so as follows: First of all he erected a pile of buildings, which may be seen to this day in Charies street. Old Gravel lane, to be used as a free school for fifty boys and fifty giris of the Parish of St. George’s-in-the-East. Attaclred to the schools were residences for the master and mistress. Inserted in the facade were models of the schuvelboy and schoolgirl of the period, in their quaint costumes of the last century, and placed in a conspicuous place on the building was the founder’s precept, ex- pressed in very —— words, “Come in and learn your duty to God and Man.’’ He was an vid bachelor, and he determined to keep unmarried so that he might do what he could for his relatives and never hamper the one idea of his life. But the great idea of Henry Raine, which has been perpetuated to this very day, was the setting apart of a certain sum for mar- riage portions, to be awarded by lot to cer- tain of the girls who had attained the age of 22, and had been previously educated at the schools and at the asylum founded by him, liaving rendered a girl of St.-George’s- n-the- Kast a good scholar anda thrifty young wom- an, he was determined, if possibile, to make her a valuable wifes, under arrangements by which, if fortune favored her when she dipped into the lucky bag, she might on her wedding day receive the sum of £100; nay, more, she might even we pate with her hus- band and friends, a wedding baaquet at the founder’s expense. Henry Raine wouid not allow any of “Raine’s girls’ to look further than the parishes of St. George’s-in-the-East, St. Paul’s, Shadwell, or St. John’s, Wapping, for a husband. If she selected a partner elsewhere she was doomed tuo forteit her hundred pounds. The marriage portion ceremony remains to this date whatit was in old Raine’s time, 150 years ago. Ono May 1, the day appointed for the marriage of Raine’s rosiere, the belis of St. George’s-in-the-East ring out a merry peal. Many of the parishioners and all the trustees attend the service, when a special sermon is preached by a selected preacner, aud the marriage of last year’s lucky ones is duly solemnized, Directly after the mar- riage service the governors, trustees and their friends repair to the old hail i. Raine’s school, where the drawing for the marriage portion takes place. {It is conducted exactly according to @ programine drawn out by the founder. ‘The lottery tickets are sealed up strictly according to pious injunction, they are put into the very canister that Henry Raine se- lected himself, and the ceremonial table, a splendid piece of furniture, is Raine’s own gift. fiymns are sung. and voluntaries played during the drawing of the lots, speeches are made both to the successful and unsuccessful candidates, and the lucky young woman is duly congratulated and warned for wedding the next Ist of May. The drawing over, the wedding banquet takes place, at which the marriage portion is handed tothe young woman who had been married that very morning. It is significant, in connection with this wedding banquet, that so rilong as 150 years ago the old founder almost anticipated the historical appetite of the “‘voracious vestryman,”’ for he decreed that onthe day of the weddinga dinner should be provided for the bride and bride-. groum and their friends, but that the gover- nors and friends of the fuundation should also dine together, but at their own expense, The first ode sung annually at the wedding feast is very quaint and characteristic, lt calls on the “Spirit of Love, who in the days of old didst move thy servant to provide this peocy heip to virtue’s cause, shed on our earts thy grace, and aidusto fulfill the plans of Raine’s munificence!” and further the following quatrain is chanted: And when long years have come and gone, Still shali the work of good go on; And many a nymph and many a swain - Shall bless with joy the name of Raine, A purse of 100 golden sovereigns is then handed to the bride, and, after more hymns and odes according to the Raine ritual, ‘‘the newly-married couple and their friends re- tire.’ Unfortunately, the full and best intentions of old. Henry Raine were never carried out. Living and dyiug unmarried, he left ail his property to his two nephews, and in his wili he strictly enjoined them te invest £4,000 in the three per cents in order to give a mar- riag@ portion and a wedding breakfast to two girls instead of one. His dying request to the two nephews who had inherited his plen- tiful stock and his trade in brewing is very touching. He had no earthly doubt that the said William Duffin and William Wilson would fulfill his dying request. ‘‘If,’’ said he, *‘my nephews had seen, as I have, six poor innocent maids come trembling to draw the prize, and the fortunate maid that got it burst out in tears with excess of joy, they would readily perform the same.” Atas! for the faith of this excellent uncle. The nephews undutifully winked at his senti- ment, and satisfied their conscience in some otherway. Anyhow, the £4,000 were never invested, and so St. George’s-in-the-East can only send out one endowed maiden inw the world every year instead of two.

Parker left this morning with arms and anmmunition for Mason Valley, where the Indians are assuming a very defiant and war-like atti- tude against the whites. It appears thata number of squaws have recently died sud- denly and under very suspicious circum- stances, and the Indians accuse the Misner family of having poisoned them. The squaws who died had been employed at Mr. Misner’s ranch, but those who know the family de- clare that they are above suspicion. Ina letter to Gov. Adams, Hock Mason states that ne considers the situation very serious, and thinks the Misner family ia danger. Nels Hammond, superintendent at the Walker Lake Reservation, writes that the Indians are —a, a consultation, and that they appear to greatly excited. He has warned the whites of Mason vaier. to be on the lookout. Senator John B. Gai- lagher and aimost every citizen of Mason Valley signed the petitionte Gov. Adams for the arms and ammunition. ‘ibe Govern- or’s instructions to Gen. Parker are that he shali investigate the matter, and if he finds the circumstances require such action, he shall turn the arms over to Smith & Bran- han, at Pizen Swith, to be used by the set- tiers, otherwise they are to be returned to the seat of government.

THE MAHDI’S LIEUTENANT. Sketch of the Man Whols Believed To Be Assisting the False Prophet. From the Paris Figaro. A Frenchman named Soulie is believed to be the Mahdi’s right hand man and to have taken a leading share in the defeat of the Egyptfan force under Hicks Pacha, Soulie is described as having haunted the cafes and beershops of the Quartier Latin some seven years ago. He wasthena young fellow of about 24 D pre. very dark and wiry, loud in talk and exuberant in gesticulation. He was born at Algiers, where his family still reside. When the war broke out his family dreading lest his adventurous spirit shouid lead him into danger, summoned him home to the Algerian capital, where he does not appear to haye pursued any settled occupa- tion. Devoured with impatience, restless from inaction, he endeavored to find a vent for the fury of his temperament by the most perilous exercises of the acrobat and the circus rider. On his return to Paris about seven years ago he attended the lectures of the School of Mining Engineering and studied law; but quiet life did not suit him, and he returned to Algiers, whence he wrote letters to friends in Paris breathing a vio- lent hatred to England and the English, whom he conceived to have used Germany as an instrument to “crush France.” One fine morning he disappeared, and his friends were at a loss to know what had be- come of him, when they suddenly heard that he had joined Arabi, to. gratify his passion by fighting the English, After the collapse of Arabi he migrated to Kairouan, and sub- sequently joined the Faise Prophet, in whose operations he is believed to have taken a leading part. The story may be pure ro- mance, but there is this foundation for it, that there are many adventurers with the False Prophet, and that among them there is a bo ees named Soulie, seems beyond a dou A Story of a Gold Chain. From the Baltimore Sun. A bright-faced, red-headed boy, 14 years old, dressed in the uniform vf a messenger lad, called at a pawn store Saturday and threw a pawn ticket for a gold chain on the show case and said: “Gimme that chain.” Mr. Lewyt looked at the ticket, which he recognized. ‘“The man to whom thi8 ticket belongs is in New York,” he remarked to the boy. “Well, that’s just where I came from,” said the boy. Th® little fellow then said on Saturday afternoon a call came to the Seventy-second street office, East Side, New York City, fora messenger boy. This lad Was sent toa well-to-do genticman’s house in answer to the summons. The caller had pawned a valuable chain, an heir-loom, dur- ing his visit to Baltimore a few days ago, when he was out of money. He wanted to wear the chain on Sunday, but could not get it in time, as no express would reach him on thatday. The boy was to bring the ticket here, pay the $25 advanced on the chain, also the interest, and get back as soon as he could. ‘The gentleman was to pay his fare here and back, incidental expenses and give him bésides six cents an hour extra pay. The boy was back in New York Saturday ery hee the chain, fifteen hours afier he started. Bombay More Crowded Than London, From a London Letter to the Manchester Examiner. One of the resuits of the Indian census, the various returns of which are now being collated, is to show that Loimbay, the second city in the British Empire, is more crowded than London itself. The density of popula- tion in London in the most densely peopled parts is less than the density of twelve most crowded sections of Bombay, with a popula- tion of nearly 430,000 people. These sections have an average population of 458.57 persons er acre. In Bombay the average of pupu- ation is about 52 per acre; in London, 49. The extreme in London rises to 222 per acre, whereas in Bombay it rises to 759. The Bopulation of the sections in which the crowding is double that of the most crowded divisions of London is equal to more than 37 per cent of the total population, bat the area of these sections 1s only 3% per cent of the island. In other words, 37 per cent of the population are crowded on 3% per cent of the surface of the land. Is Hanging Painfal? Letter to the Editur of the Pall Mall Gazette. The following facts, as related to me by a late distinguished officer, who died high in rank in her Majesty’s service, may ve of some public interest. Many years ago, when a fag at a public school, he was ordered by his master to get his silk stockings ready for an evening party, but unfortunately only one could be found, Vain were the excuses offered by the age littie fag; his master tn a rage threw the silk stocking around his neck and held him suspended in the air a sullicient time to produce unconsciousness, and to make ita doubtful matter if vitulity could again be restored. He therefore expe- rienced all the sensations of being hanged; but he suffered no pain, and used to say he had no recollection of anything happening to him from the moment the stocking was thrown round his neck until he felt life re- turning. A Fortune that Came too Late, From the Virginia (Nev.)

The property and coin was left him by his cousin, Capt. Arthur Spring, a merchant at Callao, Peru. Inquiries for Johu Spring were at the time set on foot, but he was not found until about weeks. before his death. FLAKES OF FASHION. Bright gold is now considered the favorite color for evening wear.

I lost my interest ig basiness and became sad and melancholy. My mind became weak, I had no energy Dor amhitioa, and the most trivial matters irritated and aunoyed me. Of course these troubles were the result of gradually declining health which I had thought lessiy negiected at the start.

My memory failed me, [ suflered rom dizziness, apopleciic symptom, serious wasling of the miuscles and palus in ail parts of my y. I wastold by physicians that I was suffering from malaria, general congestion, and impoverished blood. They prescribed iron, quinine, atryclinine, various malt eX tracts, morphine, whisky, limewater, milk, and innumerable mineral waters, Dus all to no pur ose. I finally became so bad that a swallow of milk or water burned in my stomach like so much fire, About that time I was attacked by fear, ancuish, horrible dreams, nightmares, slow fevers, palpita- tion of the heart and ulceration of the stomach and bowels, with. ali their accompanying borrors, l had enlargement of the liver and spieen, sore- bess at the pit of my stomach, with eiile: a raven- ous appetite or discust for food, cold feet and hands, numbness of the limbs and au innumerabio variety of nervous afflictions.

NO AMERICAN COMMERCE, Not a Domestic Vessel Carrying Grain During an Entire Year, From the New York World. - During the year 1883 not one American vessel ~ Brow! from the great i of New York for Europe laden with grain, the principal article of export from the nited States. During the year there were exported from New York jn 491 vessels, 21,545,000 bushes of wheat, 25,225,608 bushels of corn, 5,052,043 bushels of rye and 147,400 bushels of oats, a total of 51,970,051 bushels. A low estimate makes the total amount of freight money paid for the transportation of oe grain at least $4,000,000. Yet not one dolla of this was received by American ehjp-own- ers, Year by year the amount grain shipped to Europe_in American vessels has been growing less. It is twenty months since one of our bottoms, filled with grain, cleared to kurope. In 1880, a year of great activity - Jn ocean freights and when every convenient vessel Was pressed into seryice, the number of American vessels laden with grain clear- ing for Europe was only twenty-nine, — \ hat is true of the port of New York is likewise true of other export cities. From Philadeiphia during the past year there has been shipped in the native steamers of the American line a considerable quantity of grain, but the enterprise has proved unprof- jtabie, and it is announced that the steamers ave to be withdrawn, And what is true of grain is also true of other articles of export. The foreign vessels are doing the great buik of the carrying trade. Such vessels as still float the flag of our country are either en- gaged in the coasting trade, of which the tariff laws give them an exclusive monopoly, or if in the foreign trade are engaged in car- rying cargoes to the East and West Ludies. ‘The outiook is certainly very dismal and humiliating for the American vessel,”’ said an old New York ship-owner yesterday.‘ The record of the past year ought to set our leg- islators at Washington to prompt actlon on the subject of the revival of our merchant marine, and I hope that the House Commit- mittee on American Commerce, of which Gen, Slocum of Brooklyn is chairman, will do something else besides taking testimony and talking.” Capt. H. 8. Viying, Chief Inspector of the National Board of Marine Underwriters by lis statistics showed that of the 491 grain vessels Which clearea last year, 337 were steamers. Jn 1880 2,000 vessels cleared, 1,235 of which were steamers. The sailing vessei is fast green be thing of the past. Steain- ergare everywhere driving sailing Vessels irom any trade in which they may enter. Speed has become an indis- penusable consideration in ali modern busi- ness transactions. Besides steam vessels are regarded as safer, and the premium of insurance On theif cargoes is generaily less. The year just closed has been one of al- most unparaileled stagnation In the shipping trade, so far as the grain trade is concerned. A bout 50,000,000 less bushels of grain were shipped in 1583 than In 1580, when the ex- orts from this port amounted to 107,000,000 ushels, and 2,415 more vessels Were engaced in the grain carrying trade in 1880 thanin 1883. Under these circumstances there has, of course, been a = stagnation in ocean freights, anda decided depression in the rates. LTherates per bushel Of grain on Monday by steam were 1d to Liverpool, 34ed to London, 24d to Giasgow and 3d to Hull, On Decemver 1, 1880, the rate was 7% to Liverpool; on December 30, 1880, the rates were 6d and 6% to Liverpool, 7% to Giasgow, On Deceuber 29, 1882, the rates were as follows: To Liverpool, 6%d; to London, 74d and 8d; to Glasgow, 8d; to Hull, 744d About 00 percent of all our exports of - last year was carriedin British ves- sels.

From the London World, There is one good which should not be buried with the bones of Mario, and that is the fact of the fervently affectionate union in which he lived with his wife when both had passed into the very fat middle age which singers cannot escape. In the short- est absence letters between them never failed fora single day, and Grisi used to speak of Mario, who had grown into a kind of super- annuated and unwieldy prettyness, with al| the tenderness of their first glorious tenor and sograno days. She was a nobie-looking creature even in those days; the strong black hair, which was simply knotted round her large head, had hardly begun to show gleams of white; and under the great arched eye- brows her gray eyes looked out with the siances Of an eagie. She sang in private long after her yoice was strained and spoiled. I do not think that Mario’s organ lasied any longer than hers, though the in- dulgent London public applauded him through his farewell performances with unfailing faith, They were both charming in English society, where, however, their Southern natures were never chilled or sub- dued. While Mario had something of the lepose Which stamps, etc., Grisi had the pas- sion of her kind—in politics as wel! as ou the subject of younger sopranos—and she cor- (diaily expressed them. saw her last in her beautiful Florentine home, which was full Of the relies of two brilliant careers.

How the Old Ohio Senator Used a Roll- Call to Pass His Pacific Railroad BilL Washington Letter in the New York Evening Pott. The publication of this correspondence has recalled a curious circumstance in connection with the passage of the Thurman sinking fund act, andit may explain in some meas~- ure why the Gould-Huntington lobby was defeated. It will be remembered that the efforts of Gouldand Huntington were Ccon- centrated upon the Senate. Stanley Mat thews had charge of the bill, and was oen- thusiastilealy supported on the Democratic side by Voorhees and Ben Hiil. Gould and Huntington were here in person. Gould had chosen to dismiss fora time bis “pat- liamentary agents,”’ and had himself under- taken the task of calling personally upon Senators and endeavoring to convince them by the ingenious and plausible arguments of which he is master to support the amend- ments which would practically aullify the Thurman bill. The agents of Gould and Huntington sat in the marble room of the Senate, to which under the rules of that body they could have had access only by the intruduction of some Senators. They were confident of forty votes to defeat the bill. Senator Thurman expected to pass the bill by midnight. There were indications of an attempt at filibuster- ing by its opponents and many amendmenis had been offered. Mr. Thurman was seen to have upon his desk a roil-call of the Senate. lie rose, stated that he understood the oppo- nents of his bill were confident of victory , that he had, in fact, then upon his desk a roli-call of the Senate, with the names checked upon it of the Seuvators who, he was well advised, were relied upon by the agents of Gould and Huntington to vote nay. Lhere was intense interestin the chamber. Ar. Thurman did not read that roll-cali or tell where he gotit. He simply said that as the voting upon the amendments proceeded he should wateh it with great interest, to see how well it tallied with the list with which he had been furnished. There certainly was consternation in the ranks of the jiobby. The voting began. The forty promised votes upon that tally sheet dwindled to eighteen. The bill was passed. Thurman put his mysterious roll-cail into his pocket. Gould took the train for New York and it is said has never been in Wash- ington since. The Thurman bill went to the House, defied the combinations of the rail- road lobby and was passed by a two-thirds vole. A Cough, Ootd or Sore Throat should not be negiecied.

In this connection it is quite interesting to note the movements of the famous bonanza kings, Mackay and Fair. They, as well as Flood, lovingly and lingeringly desire to hold on to the north end of the Comstock— the grand subterranean spring from whence they draw their overfiowing, immense wealth: yet Flood seems to cling to the old grooye more tenaciously than his other com- panions in fortune’s smiles. Fair branched ambitiously and easily off into politics, seek- ing some indelinite degree of renown or not- ability in that direction, and now John Mackay, afterquite a rambling vacation in Europe and America, or in frequent transit across the Atlantic between the two locaii- ties, suddenly and ambitiously steps out on top asagrand manipulator of telegraphic communication—a sort of Jupiter Tonans, as it were, to sling the wired lightning across mountain and ~plain and be- neath the ocean, cast and west, and other eligible points of the compass. He is actively and literally laying his wires to be- come the most popular of the three, as well as the richest—or the poorest—man in Amer- ica, Fair emulously follows suit in the mat- ter of public enterprise, but his oid mining proclivities Carry his aspirations in a subter- ranean direction after publicapproval. He desires to do his State service in the matter oli striking more water where it is most needed, and has introduced a bill, in his Sen- atorial capacity So promote the boring of artesian wells gn Government lands in Ne- vada. Kennedy aid Cassidy bored a little on the: same lead in times past, but they never struck water. Now, if our genial and financiafly potent Uncle James will only succeed in tapping the basins of our some- where rivers, make Nevada’s mountain streams reappear above the alkali, and cause our deserts to blossom as the rose, all hands will rise right up in their boots and cal! him blessed.
