AT LAsr.-The long looked for day
Feb. 18th, has come at last. Hundreds
have been waiting its arrival with com
mendable degree of patience. The occa'
sion OF tho anxiety for its coming is the
fact that John B. Cough has been an
nounced to lecture in Washington Hall
this evening on Habit" and We can say,
without exaggeration we believe, thai
none Of the lecturers, or those who cater
to public taste in the line Of dramatic Oh
mlustrel ENTERTAINMENT arc as popular
with our people as Mr., Cough. He al
ways commands crowded house wher
no comes here. So great has been thu
rush for seats on the present occasion, thai
the stoves in hall have been removed, and
VIC heard that an effort was made to take
down the great chandelier, so as to bring
into use about twenty-five chairs in the
gallery rendering practically worthless
by having 1t where 1t Is.

Some Fun.
An Eccentric Moon.
BY MAX ADELER.

Thomas Blown was employed at the Blank
Street Theater, in this city, lew years ago,
as q kind of utility man, and one night the
manager put him behind the scene at the
rear Of the stage to take care of the moon.
Brown had a candle on the end of long pole,
and it was his duty to hold the light behind
the moon, which was merely round un-
painted space in the curtain, al d 10 pull the
curtain slowly up to represent the rising of
the moon. Brown seated himself on a piece
of baronial castle, and while waiting for the
order to go to work, he fell asleep. Presently
the tragedian on the stage said to the hero
inc, ''Swear by yon bright moon," ETC., ETC.,
and turned point to it, but the orb OF
night was not there. The stage-manager file
around and gave Brown kick, and in fren-
zy ordered him to "hst that moon quick kp'
Brown was bewildered, and without waiting
for further orders he run the curtain clear up
with one jerk, when the cord broke and down
it came again. Another string was hurriedly
rugged on the pulley, and the moon began to
rise properly, but Browns nerves were so un-
strung by fright that he couldn't hold the
candle steadily behind il, so that there were fif-
teen or twenty eclipses during the ascent, the
light meanwhile wandering all over the curtain
to the infinite amusement of the audience.
However, the luminary got safely up at last,
and the tIagedan again observed, 'Swear by
yon bright moon. but before the words were
fairly out, the cord again snapped, the cur
tain unrolled with velocity and broke loose
from the roller, revealing Brown, the lunar
elevator, roaming around in his shirt sleeves
with candle on stick. moment later the
manager was trmbling among his hair, and
that very night Mr.. Brown closed his theatri-
cal career. The manager remarked to con-
fidential friend that while a man who was ca
pable of making the same moon rise three
times in one night and of getting up any
number of ecipses and other astronomical
phenomena might be valuable for some pur
poses, he was about as fiji tor theater as q
walleyed mule was for singing hymns.

State. The commercial and marine inte
ligence is always full and fresh, and of
great value to merchants Its editorials are
characterized by ability and outspoken criticism
of men and things. The day when political
newspapers merely the organs of a party,
bound to defend its acts and abuse its opponents,
has gone by, and the Press has taken an hon.
orable position in freely discussing public events
without regard to party allegiance. 1t has not
failed to condemn wroDg-doIDg even when the
censure must fall on its own party leaders.
