THEATER.-Ws could have wished tina,
the Howson's had been greeted By larger
aouse last evening. However, the perfor-
nance was enjoyed BY an audience numer-
GUS enough to show that, dull as the times
are. our play-goers can be drawn out in con-
siderable numbers by promise Of good en-
;ertainnent. The performance last evening
was decidedly p!easing-elegant. perhaps, is
the better word. Thoroughly acquainted with
:helr line Of business, and good actors and
excellent singers, these artists certainly are :;
.ad we have seldom witnessed so clever a
performance here. Mss Emma Uowson in
addition to being very charming singer, is
an exceedingly beautiful young lady, very
petite and very sweet. The bill for tonight
embraces the Duchesse-in burlesquc-with
all the original music Of that delightful
opera. We earnestly advise our friends and
readers to attend this inviting entertain

Wretchedness.

We of the west, with our broad
prairies, fertile fields, and beautiful
young towns and cities, know little
of the wretchedness and woe that
is part of the daily experience Of
Metropolitan city life.
The Superintendent Of schools in
New York reports that there are 49,
900 children in that city, who are, in
its fullest sense vagabonds, and wan
der about by night and by day, home.
less and friendless waits in that boil
ing cauldron Of corruption, destitute
Of all moral culture, and fast ripen-
ing for dens of iniquity and the pris-
ons.
1t is appalling and grievous to the
sympathetic heart, to think of little
children thus exposedto the vice and
wickedness Of that great city, and
suffering, starving and dying in the
streets, cellars and by places.
Tens of thousands Of dollars
thrown away in the government o.
that city and in useless display, wo'd
be an incalculable saving, simply in
a money point of view, if applied to
the caring for and education O.
these beggared children, W no are now
growing up to cost the city many
more thousands OF dollars as crimi

\ STORY ON GEN. DoDGE.-This

The rumor that Gen. GrenyiIle

that after the close of the war. Ger.
Dodge was in command of post in
Louisiana. One day the Adiutant
General received an official comm.
nication from him, stating that he
had been offered $4,000 to wink at
certain cotton speculation, and re-
fused 1t. The bid had been increas.
I'd to 100000, and then to twice
that amount. The General said he
had refused all the offers, but the last
sum was Every near his price," and
ne wished to be relieved before a
louder call on his probity was made.

Look Out.

We give below brief editorial
from the "Moulton Mdepeadent."-
This town of Moulton by reason oc
the building of the st. Louis Il Cedar
Rapids road, has grown up as if by
magic out OF the Wilderness in the
last eighteen months, and now has
about 500 inhabitants. The town is
interested in the Fairfield route for
the Chicago \ Southwestern Rail
road, and hence through its organ wo
have the following stirring appeal
All we can do is to publish these
facts coming to our notice, and say
to our people look welito yow laurels
"While our friends all along the line
are working so theoretically in this
matter, we are gratified to say we,
too, are making rapid progress in So
curing the amount required Of us. On
the north line of us intense excite.
ment prevails. Jefferson county has
already raised something near $780,
600 over the amount assessed them,
and now have men helping raise the
money in Davis county. Bands of
music accompany them in every d.
rect;on, stores are closed, work sus.
pended, and in fact all kinds of bust
ness LAID aside to attend tho rousing
| meetings held every evening. While
such spirit of enthusiasm prevails
there, we are not SO demonstrativehe here
butnone the less in earnest, having al.
ready raised something over $4,000.
An important meeting is to DO held
in the Methodist Chapel, Caldwell
township, this evening in regard to
the raising of more stock. Now,
friends throughout the county, show
your mettlc by your deeds, assist us
in securing this road-work earnest.

Mr.. T. told us that at some place
not now recolleeted, that out of 1000
children between the years of 10 and
20, some 400 had been converted to
the truth of the gospel; between 20
and 30 years, the conversions were
much less, and SO on until between 60
and 20 years ofage, when only one
out Of thousand was converted

that the little children were much

an abstract proposition, than men Of

Tho birds flanked our ma |
tives and the chase led directly |
across the pampa. A gallop of five |
miles brought Gcn. k within
range and the shot which followed
was attended with success. Others
were not 80 fortunate. The little
doctor finally let go alta big fellow,
which he shot directly through the
body. He was determined to bring
his bird, and selected the fairest mark
presented. 1t was like shooting for
a purse at a barn door. The flock
kept on together. l confess that,I
was disappointed to see them run so.
My old school biographies and natu-
raj histories had taught me that when
hard pressed the idiotic ostrich "buried
its head in the sand and fancied it.

to see them do SO. | was quite con-
WINGED that the ostrich was a sland-
cred bird, that instead of being SIM
pie minded and foolish it was shrewd,
plucky and enduring. At the same
time | was strengthened in my opin-
ion that school books contain much
that is incorrect. They-especially
such books as arc alluded to above
contain many statements which are
unsupported by the facts, many as
sertions which do not rest on even a
shadowy foundation. A dozen times
have mentally compared their state
Monts with tho facts as personally
confronted, and have found them pal.
pably in error. Such books are
thrown together too carelessly.
Soon our natives began to draw up.
They werc evidently dissatisfied
Their 6olases were hanging to their
saddle bows, unemployed, and they
apparently found little fun in playing
second fiddle to "los gringos." We
had ridden a race Of ten miles, with
the ostriches still in front, when with
scream and shout the foremost half
dozen ofthe natives dashed ln.-
Drawing ahead of us on either side Of
the flock they swung their bolases and
three birds found themselves hope
lessly cntangled. The exploit was
repeated until every one was killed
or captured. Most of us were glad to
have the mad race brought to an end
by the assistance of the natives, but
the Captain was wroth at their inter.
ference. All agreed, however that
the bolds, as applied to ostrich hunt
ing, was an implement far superior te
the rife.
When all was over we rode back
plucking few of the choicest feath
ers by tho way and leaving the rest
for the natives. Five days later, af
