tFrom the Adrian (Michigan) Exposition !
A Story of Fallen SIaT.s.

Few persons acquainted with the orbits,
sometimes dubious and eccentric, OF
theatrical lumiDaries, but have recOllec-
tiOns or have seen Mrs. Frank Drew, for
merly bright particular star in the pro-
fession. She was for some years lessee of
the Arch Street Theater, Philadelphia, one
OF the most reputable places of amusement
in the country, and herself, possessed of eX-
traordinary talents as an actress, nightly
played to refined and delighted audiences
in the city of brotherly love. Her life was
a perfect ovation, and pecuniary success
crowned her talent TO such an extent that
four years ago she was reputed to be worth
in the neighborhood of quarter of a mil
lion. She had daughter. a beautiful
child, then about thirteen years of age, who
electrified beholders with her grace and
skill as a danseuse. The daily life of
mother and daughter was one of luxury,
extravaganza, gaiety and excitement.
But behind and beneath all this apparent
success and happiness there was a secret
which palled the cup of pleasure. The
mother was victim to the appetite for
strong drink. The intoxication of popular
applause, the garish glare of the foot lights,
the enraptured attention accorded to every
step, every gesture, was not enough, and
Mrs. Drew drank deeply of the cup which
was so soon to ruin her and her daughter
ruin them body and soul.
Facilis est decensus Auerni, and rapidly
the Wretched woman trod the downward
path. Soon so welded was she to her be-
sotted appetite that she could no longer re-
tain her hold on public favor. AS she de-
scended she sank from public view, and the
ever tickle populace turned from contem-
plation of the fallen TO hail the rising star.
But the saddesG feature of this sad tale is
the fact that the miserable mother, in her
fall, drew down with her her young daugh-
ter, and forced her to drink to the full of
the cup of wretchedness and shame.
Now, at the time we write, the mother
and daughter are playing an engagement,
so called, at a miserable varieties concert
room which the citizens of our neighboring
city of Jackson allow to pollute their
midst. Here, surrounded by the dregs of
society, themselves no better than the
worst about them, these two exc out a
miserable subsistence. Bloated by intem-
perance, dissipation and icentiousness,
for the crime of drunkenness rarely goes
alone, and disf1gured almost beyond recog-
milton, it seems as though liquor had done
its worst with this wretched couple; that
from the tOpmost round of the ladder of
professional fame, these two, who so lately
delighted audiences of the best society, had
fallen to the uttermost depths of degrade
tion. But ii there is. a lower depth than
this, assuredly they will find it. In the ruin
which liquor brings there is no half way
stopping place.

Potato Raising.

In a circular issued by A. H. Hovey
scotsman OF Chicago, agent for the Good
rich Seeding Potatoes, the following direc-
tions, said to be based on actual practice,
are given as to the best method of raisin O
large crops of potatoes
In the fall plow deeply and subsoil plow,
in all eighteen or twenty inches in depth.
In the early spring, plow and subsoil
across the winter burrows, harrow and roll.
Mark out, as for corn, three feet apart
each way, opening the furrow eight inches
deep. 80
At the intersection drop whole potato,
the largest you have, and spread upon it a
handful (abOut forty bushels per acre) of a
compost made of eight parts of woodashes
four of bone phosphate of lime, four of
fine ground plaster, two OF finely slaked
lime, and one of salt; or, if preferred, three
ounces of artificial fertilizer per hill. Then
cover, roll and spread 1000 pounds of good
al tificial fertilizer per acre.
AS soon as the young plants appear, run
the cuItivator close to and between, but
not over them, in each direction. After
wards, and before the weeds come up, cul-
tivate both ways, with KnoX's horse hoe
so arranged as to cut as shallow as possible,
and keep the surface entirely fiat. Repeat
this, at short intervals, three times. Then
hand-hOe three times, still keeping a flat
surface. Allow no hilling at any time, nor
any weeds to grow.
As soon as the tops are dead, dig in clear,
dry weather with heavy five-tined digging
forks; spread, under cover, to dry, and
store in cool, dark, dry airy cellar, spread
ing half pint of freshly slaked lime in
powder on each bushel of potatoes.
Gather and compost the dry tops, for ap-
plication next autumn; then plow and
subsoil as before, for next years crop.
The following are the advantages of this
system of cultivation:
No possible entire failure of the crop !;
no rot in healthy varieties; the largest
weld the soil and variety are capable of /;
the largest proportion of large potatoes; no
provement; no necessity for rotation of
crops; the potato can be thus grown al
most indefinitely on the same land, and
with, perhaps, at long intervals, seeding
to cover to maintain the supply OF Vegeta-
BILE fibre in the soil; no loss by late spring
frosts; if the early growth is cut off, the
dormant eyes viii grow and the crop be
saved; the greatest economy of culture

THE ODDITIES OF FAsHIoN.-One of the
latest oddities in the whims of fashion is q
large beetle in green enamel, to be worn
by ladies. On pressing a spring the wings
fly apart, revealing tiny dial on which
the happy possessor may see the time OF
day-or night, that is, provided the bee
tie proves more than toy and makes
an exception to the jewelers. saying, that
ladies' watches never run. Fashion has
been oflate years tending towards the ugly,
if not towards the positively hideous. The
chignon has made even ugliuess seem beau
tiftil, and the highest triumph of fashiona-
BILE daring is to wear living glow-worms
about the person. Small South American
bugs have been long used as an ornament
they have hard green shell of their own.
and look so little like living thing that
they are not repulsive. But to wear bee
tie, looking like beetle and like nothing
else, is carrying rather far the fellow-feel-
ing which makes us wondrous kind to
members of the reptile kingdom. What
next? A toad, with Shakespeare's pre-
cious jewel in its head, would make sweet
apex for the chignon, would it not?

Reports from the Indian Country
Eenian Meeting.
ST. LOUIS, April 1.-THE Democrats
correspondent with Gen. Hancock's Indian
expedition, writing from Fort Hooker,
April 2, says: A council was held at Fort
Dodge on the 24th ult between Maj. Dodge
and several chiefs of the Kiowas. The lat
ter professed much friendship for the
whites, and desired to be at peace with
them, but states that the Blackfeet, Sioux,
Cheyennes, Arapahoes and Camanches are
determined on war and will have it. They
spoke about several Northern tribes band
ing together tor war, making overtures to
Southern tribes to join them, and predict
ing the whites would have their hands full.
The indications all favor grand Indian
confederation and bloody war.
A very enthusiastic Fenian meeting was
held here last night. One hundred men
joined the Seventh regiment, and consid-
cradle amount of money was subscribed.

THE BLACK CRooK.-A grand turn out
last night at the Opera House testified the
truth of our assertion that the announce
ment of this grand spectacle had Gre
ated a sensation never equalled in the his
tory of the drama in the city. Barring a
little roughness in the working of the new
machinery in one or two places, and once
or twice hanging in the dialogue, faults
Which will not be found tonight, it passed
off most smoothly. The actors are clever
and OF fair ability, and as good as the plot
calls for; but the dancing was immense.
We hardly know which of the two premier
danseuse we prefer. Mile Augusta under
stands to perfection the ''poetry of notion"
She dances as though it was delight, and
in her actions she would testify
her pleasure. Signoretta Jovetta, not
less buoyant or brilliant, devotes
herself more to the rules of art
and does not display that abandon and the
willowy motions ofAugusta. Either would
claim the highest admiration were she
alone; together they delight and astonish.
But what shall we say of the scenic beauties
ofthe piece, and to fit which the dialogue was
written? 1t absolutely passes description.
The horrors of the Incarnation scene, the
beauty of the Cave of Stalactites, and tn e
gorgeous beauty of the conclusion of the
second act seemed the acme of the painters
art. They were, however, but mere foils
to the dreamy splendor of the last scene
There the power of fancy seemed to have
exhausted itself in display of such won
derous beauty as to almost pass COM
prehension and belief. The situations
throughout the play are startling, novel and
effective, and show care in disposition OF
forces for effective tableaux. That at tn,
end of the third act was sudden, beautiful
and unexpected. Indeed, where so many
magnificent pictures were formed, it il
almost impossible to tell of them. They
must be witnessed to be appreciated. The
dresses are of the richest imaginable, and
the music of the highest order. There is
not a line or word in the dialogue obiec-
tionable, nor is the wardrobe so seant al
has been reported. In fact, the "Black
Crook" will prove as fashionable sensa-
ton here as in New York.
