The WoRRELL SIsTERs.-Thls talent
ed troupe closed its engagement here on
Saturday night, to an overlooking house,
the play being Rip Van Wrinkle. As
burlesquers the company is a success,
but as Rip Van Winklers they are
not up to grade, The stage is not suit
able for it, neither is the actor who
played Rip, neither is the company.
They don't preserve the unities. While
Rip had increased in years and beard
during his twenty years sleep, while his
daughter had grown to be woman
his wife remained just as young and
just as pretty in the last act as she
was in the first. We wish the company
every success, but request them, as they
value their regulations, not to Rip Van
Wrinkle any more. Stick to burlesque.

HE THOMAS. Cast night at Liberty
1homas "a perfect musical success
tJ56ld but express the merest truism.
We say it without fear of contradiction
that the Thomas Concerts give more
thorough and heartfelt satisfaction than
any musical entertainment ever pre-
sented to the American public. Or
Miss Mehlg's pianism, we have to re-
cord the public's delight with her choice
of pieces. especially that brilliant
"Polonaise," by Weber, which, assist
ed by the highly artistic instrumental
ton, produced an electrical effect
Miss Mehlig is the most popular plan
jst in America. Let us conclude by
saying that the public owe it to them
selves and to the musical interests OF
the times to encourage and patronize
such elerating and refining exhibitions.
Secure your seats to-day at Hamilton

Daneers Of seIIIng Prize CANDY.

How often the disappOintments of chance
become the source of malice and reyulse
the better feelings of considerable humanity
need not be mentioned, may be judged from
the following: When the night train on the
Chattanooga road, yesterday morning, was
a few miles beyond MurfreesborO, two un-
known men resolved to try their hand in
prize candy boxes. One of them accord
ingly purchased from the newsbOy, III. A.
Raymond, who is about fourteen years Of
age, box of prize candy, paying fifty cents
for the same, and expecting to find the sum
Of two dollars OF more beneath its lid. When
he opened the box and found ony ten cents,
his disappointment was extremely wOeful,
so much so that be bet the newsboy two
dollars he could not show him box con-
tanning that amount. This being
aud the newsbOy Won the wager
by showing box in which there was two
dollars. POcketiUg the money, Raymond
started to leave the car, and just as he had
opened the door to go out, the disappointed
man pulled out his pistol and fired at the
youth. Tie bulle5 missed Raymond, and
after going through two doors, struck The
foot of a passenger, in the next car, pro-
ducing painful though not serious wound.
The names of the man and his companion
