A WIFE's DEvOTIoN.-Mr Jacob Staley soma
time ago thought proper to steal a letter in
Omaha from the United Stairs mail. The letter
contained draft, on which the cash was got by
forged Endorsement A touching feature Of
the case consisted in the fact that Staley's wife
went upon the stand and swore that she was the
fcrgcr. Her hope was to save her husband, and
she apparently perjured herself to compass that
end. The effort was vain and the Judge, in
Easing sentence, said he was entirely satisfied
that the woman was not guilty of the crime with
which she charged herself. The sentence was q
heavy one, being that Staley should be confined
i'm the house of Correction for ten years.

Mr.. GILMORE's great Jubilee is going
along at Boston with a prodigious bang and
furry, the newspapers are writing it up with
great vigor and the versatile talents of the
Associated Press agents are strained to their
utmost in search of good things to say about
the business, but in spite of all the claque a
conviction seems to be generally prevalent
that the affair must be called failure, so far
as the interest and enthusiasm of the general
public is concerned. The scanty audiences
of the earlier days of the week started feel
ing of depression and forced reduction in
the price of admission from five to three dol
lars. Large numbers of tickets also are said
to have been given away and a very energet-
ic force of claqueurs thus secured. Under
the influence of these forces the audiences of
Thursday and Friday became much larger,
although the building was still far from full,
and presented an appearance quite unlike
that of the former Jub ilee
The entertainment presents many very
commendable features. The singing of
Madame Peschka-Leutner is good and the
foreign bands are a great hit. The French
Band on Thursday received rapturous ova-
tion, which they fully justified by their bril-
liant music. The twenty thousand chorus is
of course grand affair, although the effect
would undoubtedly be better should a larger
proportion of them sing, instead of loling
about, looking the audience over with glasses
and otherwise amusing themselves during the
singing. The organ is grand in power and is
well played. The two thousand instrument
talsts fiddle and blow and beat with praise
worthy energy and with deafening results.
One is amply repaid for one visit to the
Coliseum. More than one would be simply O
bore. The visitor sees an immense build.
