THE CHAPMAN SISTERS LAST NIGHT
The beauty and fashion of Wheeling
were out en- nlasSe last evening to wit
ness the rendition of the delicious
operate burlssque of Fra Diavolo, as
performed by the bewitching Chapman
Sisters Blanche as Fra Diavola was
superb; her singing splendid, and her
dressing correct to button, and Ella
as Zerlina, the landlords daughter, was
charming as she always is. Her banjo
solo was an immense hit, and met a
deserved encore, with strong indica-
tions of calling her out the third time.
Bishop as Beppo-half bully, half
Coward-won new admirers of his
immense talent as a comedian. The
whole performance ELECTED the
warmest eBcomiums and outward
demonstrations of appreciation. The
unities Of Auber's charming little
opera have been entirely pre-
served. The plot is all there and most
Of the music, but all travestied as to be
most overwhelmingly funny. The
afterpiece, One Thousand MillinerS
Wanted, was killer. People laughed
until their eyes ran tears and their sides
ached. "Bish." is too many for a seri-
Gus audience. His make up as a stun
nlng female cannot be excelled ny any
one.
Tonight we are to have the burletta
OF Aladdin, the Wonderful Scamp, with
beautiful Blanche as Aladdin. the mis-.
oh'e'ous Ella as Pekoe, and the incom-
parade Bishop as the Widow Twankey,
ana the petite comedy of the Pet of the
Petticoats, glorious bill, and one that
should NIL the house.

A RESPEC1AE-.~ hLEPTOMANIAC.-
1t is very singular that resp table peo-
pie who claim to be of the first cIt2!as
should ever he adopts in the art of
thieving, the meanest crime, in our
view, in the whole catalogue of crimes.
But so it is. And they call respectable
thieves kleptomaniacs. Yesterday we
heard of case in point. If we were to
publish names, it would mako people
open their eyes, and with deep drawn
sigh declare "Well, l neverw But for
prudential reasons we state the facts
and leave the names to be supplied.
Some two weeks since a young lady
called very early one morning on the
wife one of our wholesale merchants,
who lived within door or two of her,
and, after some neighborly chat, the
visitor volunteered to assist the lady of
the house in doing the mornings work.
That evening the lady went to prepare
herself for a visit with her husband,
when she discovered that she was minus
a diamond ring valued at $3.50 and a
Observation-Disclosures of gold, worth per-
haps $40. 20.
Here was n mystery. Who could
have taken themH Who could they
suspect' They did suspect some one,
but not the right one, and the gentle.
man went to the different jewellers in
the city, and left description Of the
stolen articles. Last week he remem-
bered one he had not notified, so he
called there, and when he had flashed
the description, the jeweler told him
that handkerchief holder, exactly such
an one as he had described had been left
there to be altered, but it couldn't be
the stolen one, for "most respectable
young lady" had left it. She had also
offered such a ring to be valued, and
exchanged for a cluster. Where was
the holder2 In the hands of the work
man. Could he see iti Yes, by wait
ing until it could be sent for. He would
wait a week if need be. The trinket
was produced and instantly recognized.
He demanded and obtained the name Of
the young lady, and went to her house.
He told her be wanted his wife's dia-
mond ring. She had never seen it; she
was shocked that he could suspect her;
she was as innocent as the angels are.
He produced the kerchief-hold told
her he knew of the whole transaction
aud assured her that if the ring was not
produced, he would place her in the
custody of the police. That was suf-
icient. The ring was given him. She
accounted for the possession of the arti-
cles by saying that a negro man who
had been set free by the late "onpleas-
antness" bad sold them to her for $50,
saying that they had been given him by
his late mistress.
We don't know how the matter will
end. Had she been a servant girl in
stead of a "most respectable young
lady" she would to-day be in the county
Jail. But responsibility is big thing.

THEATRE.-This evening Mr.. J. w.
Albaugh and lady present themselves
for the last time in Wheeling. The play
selected for the occasion is Hamlet,
Shakspeare's master piece. A more de-
sirable selection could not have been
made than this, as Mr.. Albaush's HAM
let is acknowledged to be remarkable.
The press throughout the country speak
in glowing terms of his rendition of this
great play-and in consequence, our
admirers of the legitimate drama have
been impatient in awaiting the time
when Mr.. Albaugh would appear in this
his best character. The play has been
in rehearsal for some time, giving as
surance that the troupe are perfect in
their several parts. Mr.. Seton has pre-
pared new scenery and effects, so that
nothing shall be wanting to bring ont
the piece in all its strength and beauty.
Do not forget that tonight is Mr.. and
Mrs. Albaugh's benefit, and that the
play is Hamlet" Let there be one of
the largest houses of the season, as a
practical proof that the gentleman and
lady, who take their benefit, are apprs.
ciated and admired BY all.

were again taken before Squire John

committed riot at the house of Thomas
Barrett, who lives near Roney's Point.
They broke into Barrett's house by
forcing open the front door, which was
bolted on the inside, and made an AS
sault on Barrett's wife. This was on
last Saturday night. John Mckinney
and Elijah Black were required to find
bail in the sum of $500 each. The charge
as to Wilson was not sustained.

A sTRINeEW.y on TRILIsG TINE

a ofhAkGE WAY OF ttLLiNu th"
OneCof our exchanges gives the fol
lowing singular method of telling the
time Of day or night. Wepublish it fol
the benefit of those who have leisure to
make the experiment: 4. l
Seat yourself at a table. Attach q
piece of metal (say a shilling) to
thread. Having placed your elbow or
the table, hold the thread between the
thumb and forefnger, and allow the
shilling to hang in the centre of glass
tumbler. The pulse will Immediately
cause the shilling to yibrate like pen
dulum, and the vibrations will increase
until the shilling strikes on the side Of
the glass; and supposing the time o.
the experiment to be at the hour o.
seven or hslfpast seven. the pendulum
will strike the glass seven times and
then lose its momentum and return Il
the centre; if You hold the thread 9
sufficient length of time the. effect will
be repeated; not until a sufficient
lesgth of time has elapsed to conyinct
you that the experiment is complete
We need not add that the thread must
be held with steady hand, otherwise
the vibratory motion would be counter
acted. At whatever hour of the day oil
night the experiment is made, the coin
cidencs will be the same.
While we firmly believe in the above
and would verify our belief by actual
experiment if we had time, we wonder
if the experiments we see conducted
almost every morning early, with 8
tumbler and ten cent shinplaster, art
of small piece with the above. We
are not inquisitive, but still we'd like
to know.
