The DranR.
Iitration.

THE aERMoN lIRFoRNaNoE LAST EVENING.
The performance at the Opera House, last
evening. was very creditable, throughout though
conducted under serious embauasspents. The
audience was quite too small to suitably reward
the enterprise uf the manager, or stipulEte the
exertions of the performers, yet the acting
was good. The leading lady, Mrr Gelmon. was
absent from n cause explained below, and Mrs.
Chester, at very brief notice, was obliged to
take her place in the cast. She sustained the
part. however with credit to herself. and the
play went off smoothly and PLEASANTLY. 81
The cause Of Mrs. Germon's absence is sad
family bereavement. telegram was received
by her husband yesterday. announcing the sud
den death OF her mother, Mrs. Julian. The
event was totally unexpected aud Mrs. Germon 3
necessary departure deranged the plans pre-
vieusly made for last evenings performance.
Mr. dermon remained, however, made new
arrangements and filed the evenings engage
ment He has decided, however, to withdraw
the play Of Mary Warner, announced for to-
morrow evening, and it will not be presented.
THE IlNGARDs, THIS EVENING.
The Lingard Company make their first appear
ance in tins city this evening, and unless public
opinion and theatrical criticism il all wrong, they
observe a crowded house. They are very highly
spoken Of in all quarters, and offer very
attractive programme, this evening.

No official dispatches have been received up

As the proposed article to the Washington
Treaty, though changed in phrasology, preserves
the original intent, the opinion is sexpressed here
that the conduct Of England is marked by insiR-
csrity. All hope Of an arrangement is not yet
abandoned. The earliest friends Of the treaty
now express indifference as to it's fate, believing
that concession has already been made to the

II HAVEN'T TIME"

How often one hears the above words
uttered by men who never seem to accom-
plish anything. They fritter away min
utes and hours in fussing about aud
bothering people, yet it it is suggested to
them to do something useful, which can
be done perhaps iu few minutes, their
answer is, - haven't time" There arc
men who begin dozen things in tho
course of day, and who if, at its close
were asked what they had really accom-.
plished, would have to answer nothing"
They hadn't time" to do anything.
They fused and pottered about and ina
gincd they were terrible busy when they
were not only accomplishing nothing
themselves but were hinderiug other peo-
pie. Some men haven't time" to eat
regular dinner, but just "take snack"
but when that is bolted would find it hard
to say what actual need there was for o.
hurry. Hurry means waste Of time A
man starts out in hurry to make bust.
ness call, hurries back to his Office and
when there remembers that he has to call
on another man within few doors OF the
first whom he has just left. It is not
those nervous men who are always seen
flying around as if they had an immense
amount of business on their hands that
accomplish the most work. 1t is the slow
easy going men who take their time over
everything; who never seen as if they
had any thing pressing on their minds
that get through the labor. "Take your
time," is good motto. Don't say you
"havcn't time" Think how long it will
take you to do thing and then Sc. about
it. When you have finished your work,
confess the fact to yourself; convince
yourself that there is absolutely nothing
to prevent you from taking your ease.
Don't hurry over your dinner. A good
many valuable ideas may occur to you
while you are slowly and deliberately
masticating your food. The men who
"haycn't time" to do real work find pleu-
ty Of time to waste upon attempting to do
things which they are incapable Of The
men who haven't time" are those who let
half their vital energy run to waste ike
steam escaping from valve. They make
a terrible noise blowing off steam, bns the
quiet man who has his plans as we'll arr
ranged as the wheels of complicated
piece of machinery, each moving ip its
place and all forming an harmonious
scheme, doesn't blow off steam till bis work
is finished Then he does it sensibiy, ho
laughs, sings, tells stories and lets the MAJ
chiuery of his mind run at will. Dspcnd
upon it, the man who most frequently
says :" / haven't time" is he who always
wastes the most time and accomplishes the
least. t s}Ex ksR al

Convention. Speeches were made by Sem

Of Col. Hatch's speech we take from the
published report:
SPEECH OF COL. wM. HATCH.
Fellow-citizens I regret very much the
little accident that prevented you from
hearing the conclusion of Gen. Blair's
admirable address. But am happy to be
able to say to you, that whilst this platform,
which was erected in haste, has given way,
Gen. Blair aud myself, and the great body
Of the people of Missouri, stand upon a
platform that will carry US in safety aud
triumph to the White House in November
next. [Cheers.] I come, tonight, from
the northeast portion of your State to
mingle my congratulations with yours on
the grand finale of that close political
struggle which was born of the courage
and magnanimity Of the people Of Missouri
two years ago, and which has eliminated
in the cap-stone which the Democratic
party placed upon it at Baltimore to-day.
Tremendous cheers.] come, felow-cit-
liens, to congratulate you upon new era
in the political history Of tho United
States as well as of the State of Missouri.
Old party lines, and old party attachments
have, for once in the history of this coun-
try, given way to nobler aud higher am-
bitiou-the salvation Of the country. Like
Gen. Blair, l believe that the dangerous
character of the President Of the United
States aud of the men who surround him,
if he be reelected to that position, carry
ing out, as he states in his letter Of accept
auce, the policy already commenced, in an
administration like the past, for four years
more, will run the government OF the
country into military dcspo.ism A voice
