The plucLiest thing we have
heard of in connection with tho

the persistent issue of the Chicago
Evening Post. That journal, like
the others, and even moro COM
pletely than tho others, lost every
thing building, presses, type,
paper, material, and even the
books. Two of the Post compost

by the fire, found little job

and completely deserted, the oc-
cupants having rushed to the fire

hell across the city. One instant>

as far as it had progressed and the
other put it in type, and they clap

eight inches and exultantly print

the columns OF the Independent:-

To The nboue the Independent Gns5ers:-
/. Thus far, the first mortgage bonds of Ape-
rican railways have proved TO be among the
very safest securities. In proportion to amount,
they have probably shown a smaller percentage
OF loss OF interest and principal than any other
inyeetment that has been accessible to the
people. Such has been the history of railway
securities. OF course there have been excep-
tional cases of mismanagement ana loss; DuJ
far oftener have imperfect titles, lapsed insu-
rance policies and shrinkages Of value rem
dered real estate mortgages bad lnYestment.
There is a living principle underlying rail-
way bond, which applies to very few II any other
securities. This:
/. Usually the solvency of a railroad depends
mainly upon its traffic; and, as a rule, that
traffic steadily increases as the road grows older

ga New way 'ccER.s.ygu! to Rsy 3id Debts" at she
Massinger's play of A Nelo Way 10 Pay old
Debts, which keeps the stage almost solely for
the sake of the strongly-drawn character of
'.Sir Gi'es Overreach," was admirably performed
at the Chesnut last evening II is a sufficient
compliment to the company of the theatre to say
that the play itself was made exceedingly inte-
resting apart from the powerful personation
of ''Sir Giles Overreach" by Mr.. Daven'
port, aud how much really able
actor gains by a thoroughly efficient
support vas apparent in the profound impress
sion which Mr.. Davenport's performance made
upon the audience. ''Sr GILES Overreach," like
sIago" and sRichard III" Is perfect villain,
and so totally deficient is the character in any
kindly traits that we can readily believe the
story that the dramatist took this method of
reveDging himself upon one who had injured
him. "Sir Giles Overreach' is a hard, grasplng
usurer whose ambition is not only to accumu-
late riches for himself, but to do it by the ruin
of his neiehbors. He takes fiendsh pleasure
in torturiug his victims while he Is destroying
them, and yet he is willing to bestow all
his ill-gotten wealth upon the
man who will make his daughter a
@'right honorable This is an admirable touch
of nature. Tor ''Sir Giles" has no love for his
daughter. Aud II human nature were CONSISTENT
which 1t seldom it would seem that the
usurer eould wish to purchase honors for him
self, whereas he Is content to remain in his own
station 10 shine by the reflected light of the
noble husband whom he proposes for his daugh-
ter. As represented by Mf. Davenport, '5ir
Giles Ovpucach7 is q monomaniac, and when
all his deep-laid plans suddenly come to
nothing, there is at once total mental
and physica collapse, and he becomes
in moment a furious madman. Mr..
Davenport's 3 acting in the concluding scene OF
the play last night was pitiful as it was terri
ble and the enthusiastic applause of the audi
ence when the curtain fell was but poor tribute
to what all who saw 1t were forced to acknow-
ledge was great work of dramatic art. Mr..
Davenport has done nothing better than this
during his present season at the Chestnut, and
his ''Sir Giles Overreach" must take its place
beside his Hamlet" at the head of his extended
repertoire as performance that no actor upon
the American stage can equal.
"Wellborn' is a sort of "walking-gentleman'
part, and not particularly interesting in ITSELF
Mr. Thorne last evening, however, made it a
prominent feature of the performance by the
exceedingly artistic manner in which he played
it, Mr. Thorne has made very marked ad-
vance in the finer elements of his art since he
has been al the Chestnut aud he is fast becoming
not merely a forcible but an exceedingly elegant
and expressive actor. Mrs. Davenport as
"Lady Allworth," Mr.. Phillips as ''Justict
Greedy" Mr. Lennox as ''Marrall," and Miss
Lily Davenport as Margaret Overreach, were
all excellent, and the play was altogether glver
in very superior style.

HEALTH AND LONG LIFE.-Among the many pre-
parations that have been recommended for this pur
pose, none 1t is believed has proved as efficacious
as PLANTATION BITTERs. This wonderful vegetable
tonic appears to contain all the elements necessary
to keep up the staminal strength OF the SYSTEM and
to protect 1t from the damaging effects OF vicssi-
tudes OF temperature and other unhealthy influences
to which we are all more or less exposed. The ex-
traordinary invlgoratng and regulating properties
OF the preparation adapt it especially to the condi-
ton OF the old and feeble, whose lamp OF life is
burning low, and requires nutritious stimuant to
sustain it.
