DRAMATIC.-The musical and dramatic en-
tertanment by the members of Atlantic Lodge
L. o. of G. T., at Grand Army Hall, last even
ing, was success. A Urge audience was pres
ent, and the performance elected frequent and
hearty applause. More wildly than the best
temperance lecture or sermon does the thrilling
drama of ''The Last Loaf" portray the terrible
evils of intemperance. 1t was well presented
the characters being well sustained, some of
the actors displaying decided dramatic talent
The farce of THAT Rascal Pat" is one of the
best of Irish farces, and it created roars of
laughter. The vocal and instrumental music
was very fine. Z 4 - ~ -.

A MELANCHOLY BREAK-DowN.-There are
lively break-downs that make an audience
laugh, and there are sad and sorrowful break
downs that make the kind-hearted grieve. To
the latter class belongs the enervation of body
and mind which is usually called general de-
bility," or nervous weakness" aud which,
when neglected, too often terminates in atropy
and death. A wholesome medicated stimulant
is the one needed in cases of this description,
and science and experience unite in pointing to
PLANTATION BrTTERs as the true specific. The
fact that it combines the properties of an in
vigorant with those of regulator and altera-
. tive, in exactly the proportions necessary to
produce radical change in the tone of the sys-
tenn, and the action of the digestive and secret
i've organs, is an unanswerable argument in its
favor as a general restorative.

A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The perceptive fac
ulty of women is usually keener than the same
chronological organ in men. Women know
that beauty rather than genius is worshipped
by the sterner sex. "A man may talk of the lat
ter to his lady-love, but the keenness of the
woman knows that he is thinking of the form
er. Women are fond of admiration hence one
of their longings is to be beautiful. The grand
secret of female beauty is health, the, power to
eat, digest and assimilate proper quantity of
wholesome food. Take VINEGAR BIrrERs. 1t
will cleanse the stomach, tone the vital organs,
give perfect digestion, purify the blood,
clear up the complexion and produce state of
mental and physical electricity, which gives
symmetry of form, bright eyes, white skin,
glossy hair and genuine type of female lowell
ness, which no cosmetic can produce s.4

FOUR DAYS MORE,

On Wednesday next, the Clncln-
natl Convention will take place, Civ.
ing more fully the measures of pub
lie sympathy, and particularly OF
Republican sympathy, with the LIB
eral movement. If w mistake no;
the signs of the times and the ten
dencv of mems minds, this move
ment is to draw to II, as events
develop themselves, an unexpected
strength. The honest men of the
Republican party have been shocked
at the late revelations Of admlnlstra-
ton policy in matters that touch the
national purse and national honor.
The proven recklessness of expendl-
ture, the exposed rapacity of rob-
berry. the official Indifference and
Presidential acquiesence, have given
rise to the most deep seated indigna-
ton. and determination to wal upon
such practices and upon all who sus-
tain them. Therefore do we expect
to see the banner of Liberal Repub-
licanism hOnored and sustained by
such a following as no political
movement has ever had in the same
brief time. If those who are to have
the control and guidance of this or
c~anization shall exhibit the same
prudence that they have already
shown. and if the Democracy shall
be guided by wisdom, the Grant
DYNASTY Will be overthrow as surely
as the sun of November shines.

The Eureka Sentinel, in an article

The Eureka Sentinel, in an article
on the recent State Prison difficult
ties, very plainly says:
I'VE knew from the beginning
that Denver was not the man for the
place. There are various reasons,
not necessary to recapitulate here,
which ~disqualify him for the posi-
ton. In the first place, and as we
have before urged in these columns.
the offices of Lieutenant Governor
and Prison Warden should be segre-
gated. The requirements of these
positions demand qualifications rare
lv, if ever, combined in one indivl-
dual. Denver is a failure, either as
Lieutenant Governor or Warden of
the Prison. This was known as veil
one year ago as now, and hence the
move IN the Legislature to place the
management of the Prison in other
hands. The Republicans in the Sen
ate, however, stood by Denver, and
the project was defeated. Innumer-
able breaks and the loss of some val
liable lives mark the fatal results

Work and Wait.

A husbandman who many years
Had plowed his fields and sOwn in tears,
Grew weary with his doubts and fears.
II toll in vain! These rocks and sands
Will yield no harvest to my hands;
The best seeds rot in barren lands.
"My dropping vine is withering;
No promised grapes its blossoms bring /;
No birds among its branches sing.
"My flock is dying on the plain,
The heavens are brass-they yield no
The earth is iron-I toll in vain !"
While yet he spake breath had stirred
His dropping vine, like wing of bird,
And from it's leaves a voice he heard !:
1.-THE germs and fruits of life must be
Forever hid in mystery,
Yet none can toll in vain for Me.
"a mightier hand, more skilled than
thine,
Must hang the clusters on the vine,
And make the fields with harvest shine.
"Nlan can but work God can create;
But they who work, and watch and
wait,
Have their reward, though it come late.
"Look up to Heaven! behold and hear
The clouds and thunderings in thy ear
An answer to thy doubts and fear"
He looked, and 10! a cloud-draped car,
With trailing smoke and flames afar,
Was rus ing from distant star.
And every thirsty flock and plain
Was rising up to meet the rain
That came to clothe the fields with
grain.
And on the clouds he saw again
The covenant Of God with men,
Rewritten with His rainbow pen:
"Seed time and harvest shall not fail,
And though the gates of hell assail,
My truth and promise shall prevail"
