MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
Tho CIV Amusomonls.


AT THE WALNUT Mr.. Chanfrau appeared last
evening to good audience in his famous per-
sonation of "Sam," In De Walden's comedy of
that name. AS for the play itself, 1t is q thing
feariully and wonderfully made, aud we have
not the courage to attempt a description of 1t.
even were the English language capable of inter.
preting its meaning No description is neces-
sary, however, as Sam has been done here SO
often that the majority OF our playgoers have
studied it for themselves and It is recognized at
its proper value merely as a medium for the
presentation of the ecceatricities of "Sam." Mr..
Chanfrau's peTsonation of this character Is not
only vastly amusing, but IL Is entitled to decided
praise for its artistic qualities. 1t is somewhat
exaggerated hut undoubtedly truthful represen-
tation of a certain class of Englishmen, and so
faithfully, indeed, has Mr. Chanfrau copied his
model that he is in danger at times of becoming
unintelligible to those who have not been for
tunate enough to come in contact with the
genus "Sam." The performance, however, is
very funny, and it was heartily enjoyed last
evening by those in attendance.
Sam will be repeated this evening.
AT THE CHEsNUT Frou-Frou will be performed
this evening. On Friday Miss Laura Keene will
have a farewell benefit.

This railroad runs 1884 miles north and south
through the finest and most thickly settled portion
OF the magnificent State OF Iowa. and Is the only link
wanting to connect the railway centres at st. Louis
and st. Paul by unbroken line, 147 miles shorter
than any existing route This road offers many ad-
vantages. The building OF the railroad north from
St. Paul to Duluth, at the head OF Lake Superior,
where five railroads will centre-the construc-
ton OF the Northern Pacific Railroad already begun
aid the rapid development OF new and produc-
tive country in Minnesota and the Northwest, must
furnish a large Southern traffic. AS the Upper
Mississippi is frozen over during the winter and its
navigation is often uncertain during the summer,
from low water, this road must have at all times
large amount OF transportation, and monopoly OF
the business at some seasons OF the year. Its con-
nections with other lines interested by mutual own
ership running arrangements win give 1t almost
the entire north and south travel between It's termi-
nal points and their vicinity. ~
This road will have great advantage over any
other Western line in carrying the best quality of
coal from where 1t is abundant in Southern Iowa
Northern Iowa and Minnesota, where none is to be
found, and in securing return freghts lumber, for
which the demand is very great ...
Forty.sx miles of the line are just completed, and
eghty-eight miles more are graded. An abundant
supply of iron, ties, and other materials has been
contracted for The Company have a large and
daily increasing surplus Of money on hand, and the
stock subscriptions and the sales OF the bonds give
them ample means to push the work forward, so
that, with favorable weather 1t is expected that the
whole line WILL be completed this season.

| DEAR HERALD
The election is over, and to-day's Press is
out in the usual splenetic remark as to the
| Why zee are Jeutcu! Now, sirs, we have no
/ body else 10 blame but OWSelreS! When the
| Conservative Convention assembled here, we
were met by delegation from Fort Smith,
| cOmposed partly of old citizens of your city,
| and partly of New Post Boitum- m-citizenS. The
old citizens, who, it is reasonable to suppose
best knew the sentiments of your people,
unanimously favored the nomination Off Fish-
| back while the Heio favored " hito. Tho old
| citizens urged, and very justly too, that
! place second in Importance to none in the
| State, except Little Rock, ought to have at
! least one representative. But the HelC said
" that Fishback had no strength in his own
county that Neal and White were the men
to carry Sebastian Neal was to catch radi-
! cal votes ON the county seat question, and
| " hltC was to catch them as republican. We
| listened to the new citizens and IN that lay our
| defeat. These men see this-snCe the election
| has disclosed the fact that Eishback beat Neal
and White both tOyether 81 votes in your coun-
! ty, and to turn attention from themselves and
! their Misrepresentation of their county, they
are grasping at every straw Of SANDER they
| can see, and circulating such silly ISLANDERS as
| that to which We are treated in to-day :
Press, As the reason of Onr failure The peo-
| pie, SirS, know that we have our Convention
| to blame. for listening to men who have more
brass than brains, andsone of whom, | under
stand, is regular carpet bagger,' who has
been in your city scarcely long enough to
make the acquaintance of his landlord, and
has run, in that short period for more offices
than ordinary men do in lifetime, and who
it seems had aspiration himself for the nomi-
nation by our Convention. As Il citizen Of
Arkansas feel outraged that we will Contin-
ne 70 take up with every stranger who comes
among Us in this uuseemly way, provided
they have brass enough to push themselves
whore otherwise they would not be invited 7,
! very strongly suspect that the members Of
that Convention from our town had some pyi-
/ rUte scheme in view or they would never have
been guilty Of so silly a farce.
As to Fishback'S being Radical, who i, 50
silly AS to believe it? What other candidate
made known his views so openly and on so
many occasions? Indeed he is the oHig cam
didate whose views the people do know full
well. Five years ago he published an address
in the Little Rock Gazette against Radical
| iSm-anOthcr, eighteen months thereafter,
And during this campaign, ! have heard one
Of these men himself say that fi,hback's
/ speeches were the "ablest and hardest blows,
the Ri-adcals would receive in the State :"

! ly! hope we will learn a lesson from this
campaign that wcwill not soon forget.
