The Lingards will be here mex Monday
evening. Of their performances at St. Louis
the Republican says:
Last night was gloomy and decidedly
damp, but neither dark ess nor rain, with
mud added theIeuntO, was sufficient to keep
the people from seeing the Llngards. There
were no desirable seats to be had in the
house after the curtain rose, and had the
weather been pleasant, there would not
have been q foot Of standing room. The
programme was the same as on the evening
previous, and was performed, if possible,
~en more satisfactorily. Mrs. Lingard was
warmly applauded for her acting, and en-
cored again aud again Tor her singing. up
in a Balloon" was rendered with a grace OF
sprightline-s WI have never seen surpassed,
and the enthusiastic welcome it received
showed how much the audience enjoyed
this sparkling melody.
Dir. Lingard's character delireations need
no further praise from us; they are simply
inimitable, and we do not eXaggerate at all
i'll saving that nothing in any way approach
ing them in excellence has ever been pre-
scented in st. Louis. The changes of cos
tunes are done with such marvellous
rapidly, and with such exactness of details,
that it is impossible to understand the medus
%operandi, and the spectators are quite as
curious on this point as they are delighted
with the result. We must thank the Lln-
CARDS for one thing especially -there is
nothing coarse or vulgar in their per.
formance; no double %entendres, no broad
illusions; nothing, in short, that Can pos
sibly offend the most refined taste. They
are thoroughly neat and artistic, and depend
upon real merit for success rather than on
clap-trap and slang. In this respect they
stand in such marked contrast to some of
H. ~n,,o ,o hara bod l,ripr $ha rynclnt
season, that the public are likely to appre-
ciate and remember them.
Tonight the comedy of the ''Spittlesfeld
Weaver will be given, and also Little
Toddlekins." MIR. and Ms. Lingard appear
in the former, and in the latter the lady
will sing her version of the popular song,
''The bells they go ringing for Sarah"

THE WEALTHY BEGGAR.-Almost any one
who promenades Canal street must have
repeatedly noticed a beggar man sitting
fat on the banquette, his ungainiy body go
disposed as to present his deformity to
passers. A simple glance would lead one to
suppose that he was quite completely help
less; utterly deformed, but it is a mistake.
His manner is the pink of humility, and
when he extends his lank arm for aims
nothing could be more humble, for he has
reduced begging to a science. No comic
actor ever possessed more complete control
over his features than does this professional
mendicant. He can turn the whites of
those bleared eyes to good account, and by
tibet means he has wheedied many Oh ari.
table persons into dropping a gratuity, and
ne never permits a greasy crutch to remain
ont of sight. For at least fifteen years this
fellow has gathered money-money which
went to him, for he always chose particular
localities. His name is James Cosgrove, and
he has a wife somewhere in the suburbs. We
have often heard that he owns property
worth not less than twenty thousand del
lars. An incident liz his life is worth record.
ing. Soon after the war ceased a gentleman
of considerable means was out on a regular
tear, during which time he forgot the value
of money, dispensing it freely. Passing by
Cosgrove he saw the beggar's supplications
