Clarence Augustus Mortimer is IN JOu-
be again. His mental poise was nearly
overturned few weeks since, by making
the frightful discovery, st an evening party,
That in the lutter and excitement of max
ing his toilet, he had not bestowed that
care and precision in the arrangement
Of his ambrOsial locks, which charac
terizes him in his calmer moments, in
consequence Of which the locks aforesaid
were not parted exactly in tbs middle
Of his head, there being six hairs
more on one side than there were on tie
other. For an instant, Mr.. Mortimer's rea-
son tottered on its throne, but, casting s
b sly glance around, he found that but few
people were present, and as none Of .hOse
we've looking his way, be fiattered himself
that his criminal carelessness had not been
noticed. Retiring to a dressing room, he
soon corrected his previous oversight, with
a mental resolve to never again pass Through
a similar experience.
But now rev difficulty has arisen.
Clarence Augustus has a lady-love-a fair
girlish creature; one who is all his fond
fancy ard her own little brush, skilfully
applied, have painted her-eXcepting in one
particular Clarence Augustus, who is moth.
ing if not grammatical, has had his sensi-
tive feelings frequently wrung by the fear
ful manner ia which his adoTed one sets
Lindley Murray at defiance. THIS is he one
thorn in his crown of roses. He was walking
down Cherry street yesterday, with his be
loved Aurelia hanging to his arm, the lady
looking coquettish and charming, as usual,
her graceful figure, elegantly attired, when,
Just as the loving couple passed our office
steps, Aurelia was overheard to say ''No, l
havn't saw anything CT him since, bat you
bet when 1 do, I'll talk 30 him like 3 Dutch
Uncle"
Is it to be wondered at that Clarence
Augustus is sad, discouraged and sick At
hearth

Good Time.

Speaking of the display by tire Memphis
Fire Department at the Exposition, an ex-
change of that city tells the wonderful
story: The alarm bell of No. l, the Adams
street engine, was tapped at 3 O'Clock pre-
cisely, No. rs made the run Of little
over two squares and threw water through
$50 feet of hose in exactly 3 minutes. No.
4, tie Main street engine, made the run OF
eight squares, and threw water through the
SINE lengths $50 feet-of hose 10 minutes
and 5 seconds. This is extraordinary fast
time for the No. 4's. Running distance
of 800 yards, or fraction under half
mile, getting out $50 feet of hose, and
throwing a strong, steady stream in min
utes and 5 seconds, is hard to beat. Taking
everything into consideration, the time
made by the Old Danbury-No. lis very
near as good, as she has been in service
since 1859, and is, consequently, about IA
wears old, while the No. is new Silsby,
inst purchased last summer. Owing to the
high wind prevailing, and the great distance
from No. Is house, No. S's and No. 2's did
not get the alarm until some 2 minutes after
2 O'Clock, l,y which time both the other en-
zines were on the ground. When they did
Get it, however, they made lightning time
10 the scene, and were throwing water with
in minute after their arrival. A large
crowd witnessed the display made by the
gallant firemen.

Mrs. Bowers as queen ERtzaDe
Every seat and most of the standing
room in the parquette and dress circle Of
TIE Opera House was occupied last night on
the occasion of Mrs. Bowers second appear
ance in our city.
The character Of EHzabeth--the Virgin
Qaeen Of England, is perfectly familiar to
all play eoeTs, and no living actress sue
ceeds better than does Mrs. Bowers in de-
lineating the vanity and pride; the weakness
and strength; the fckleness and hrmness,
the gentleness and fierce IeseDtfulness; the
love, pathos, revenge, sorroW and remorse
Of this glorious creation.
Her rendition of this character last eve
ming fully came up to the expectations Of
her audience. Her reception of the COM
manders of her armies, after the victory
! over the Spanish forces; her pardon OF the
would-be avenger Of the death of Mary,
| Queen of Scots; her signing of the death
warrant of the Earl of Essex-'the only
man she ever loved;" anxiety to receive
from his hand the ring which, if
only presented, would secure the
royal pardon; her anguish when
the slow passing hours brought with them
no message from the man whose life she
wished to save; her agony and remorse
when Lord Burleigh announces that Essex
is no more; her exhibition of pride strug-
Cling with death, in the last actin all these
| the genius Of Mrs. Bowers shone forth,
fully establishing her right to the proud
title of "The Rachel of the American
STAGE"
MIR. MeCollom's personation of 'the
scheming, ambitious, brave and proud Es-
sex was a complete success, being in the
act wherein be bids defiance to the Queen
and all her court, one of the most absorb
| ing interest.
The characters of Burleigh, by Mr.. Nor
man; Drake, by Mr.. Nichols; Lady How
ard, by Miss Parker; and Lady Burleigh,
by Mrs. Pennoyer, were well sustained, as
was attested by the applause with which
the play was greeted throughout.
Tonight Mrs. Bowers closes her engage
ment here with presentation of Schiiler's
thrilling drama, and those of our citizens
who have not yet seen Mrs. Bowers should
not fail to avail themselves Of the oppOrtu-
nifty tonight.

snsn,ciaun Honesty.

Sunday afternoon Mr. w. D. Talbot
while in the street near bis residence on
College street, corner Of Ash, accidently
dropped his pocket book containing $ll5
10 money, notes amounting to 81, 2l6, with
city coupons, checks, postage and revenue
stamps. He missed the cook twenty min
utes after rescbing his house, and immedi-
ately went in search Of it, but did not find
il. Monday night all tie notes, stamps,
checks, etc., except the pocket book and
money, was placed under his door by some
unknown person, into whose hands the
lost articles fell. The finder being only
partially honest, most likely retained the
money, but being unable to use the checks,
notes, etc, restored them.

S. S. WHARTON, Secretary.

ONE of the most touching incidents of
devotion the weird has ever known was the
last act in tie life OF John Walker, the fire.
man on one of the engines which came in
collision on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road a short time ago. He was caught be-
tween The footbOard and the hot wall of
the engines furnace, and, from the horri-
bic position, it was Impossible to extricate
him. When ne nFsG re&iized>the frightful
death awaiting him he implored those
around him 10 kin him at once, rather than
allow him TO die slo 7ly. Then in a mo-
ment becoming calm, with that perfect self
renuaciation with which life begins, he for
got his Own agony, and, with his dying
baud, wrote farewell message to his wife,
that she might knOw his last Thoughts were
