Gratitude.

A nice young man, who has been
perambulating our. streets of late, and
visiting our restaurants and saloons,
and generally procuring the good
things of said places on tick, left town
this morning with certain money upon
his person that were not earned by
his own industry. A certain saloon
keeper, early yesterday morning, al
lowed said young man to remain in
his office while he repaired to market,
and forgot to take from his pocket
book and drawer the money they con-
tanned. In his kindness of heart, the
proprietor allowed the said young man
to remain on his premises, not dream
ing of deceit, and furthermore, had be-
friended him in various ways, even to
giving him the wherewith to purchase
food to keep body and soul together.
Now for the sequel. When the clerk
returned to the saloon yesterday morn
ing he found some fifty dollars miss
ing from his funds, and also his fine
pet, black and tan terrier dog. The
dog was seen in the possession of said
nice young man, and is now undoubt-
eddy hieing away-in the arms of his
new found master--to southern sea-
coast home. 1t will be well for this
gentleman to return this abstraction,
and make amends for the seduction of
the dog as soon as possible, as he may
be sure that If these conditions are not
complied with, full names will be
given and other steps taken, which
may prove a lesson for him, and
warning for others of his ilk.

The wrong Horse.

A highly respectable old gentlemen,
who is somewhat absent minded, had
a queer adventure day before yester-
day. He rode into town and hitched
his bose, and after transacting his
business came out and got on what he
thought YVES his own horse, but it
wasn't. He rode lejsurely home, got
down and hitched the animal and
went in TO dinner.
Meantime, the owner of the horse
had gone TO where he had left his
stock and was told that a man had
just been seen to get on him and ride
away. II knew" says he, "the thief
would light out for the Mckinney
road, and SO started the police in
several directions and 1 cut across
to that road, and blow me if I didn't
find my horse hitched, and I got on
him and rode home" Now the old
gentleman came out from dinner and
found tbe horse gone and began to get
excited himself for fear his horse, as
he thought, was gone. So he goes off
down town and finds his own horse
just where he had left him, and came
back i'm the best of humor in spite of
having made a narrow escape of being
considered horse raiser.

The CosmopoIfies,

There was q crowded house last night
to witness the first Ethiopian minstrel
performance of these amateurs. Mr..
G. X. Meriwether, the well known
furniture dealer, as the manager, and
Mr.. Lee Rowland, as stage director,
and ]. M. Myers, as agent, organized
success. The programme was just
long enough, and was full of song,
dance, birlesque and fun. Among the
best things of the evening might be
mentioned "My GAL" song by Char
lie Schaeffer; "Gabriel's Trumpet"
song by Charlie Ray. The finale,
"Massa's Grave" with very pref
ty tableaux. "The Windy Boys
of Dallas" by Charlie Ray and his
"Old Cremona," and "Dat Essence"
were particularly amusing and well
done. We note very decided i'm
provement in the troupe in every way.
The object for which it was organized
is a charitable one that of assisting
strangers and young men of good char
acter, who are out of work, and de-
serves to be so well patronized. Taken
altogether, the performance would
have reflected credit upon profess
SIGNALS, and was better than the ma
jority of the troupes visiting here lately.

The SRlYiIiI NInb.

In our notice of the first performance
of this club we unintentiOnally omit
ted to mention the recitation OF "The
Maniec Lover" by Mr.. J. G. Booth.
The Booths are born actors, and there
is pure vein of good old dramatic tai
ent in al! of them. Mr.. Booths rec
itation shows that there is the mate
rial for good actor buried by the
sound of one o: our most popular auc-
tioneer's aud energetic business mems
hammer. To say that he is as clever
OH the boards as on the block, is but
mildly to state the degree of his versa
tility of talents. The management
must certainly have him "down on
the bills" next time.

Last evening, at Fields theater, the
Salvini club, composed of number of
ladies and gentlemen Of this city,
which was organized some months ago,
gave their first performance. Robert
sons clever little play, "Caste," and
that amusing old favorite, Trough
Diamond" were presented.
Amateur performances of any kind
by ones friends is never a legitimate
subject of dramatic 'iticism. They
play for the amusement of the public,
the pleasures of association, for
charity, and it would be ungracious to
put them in critical crucible.
The cast Of the first play was very
fair; unusually SO for first p,rform-
ance. The piece was well mounted,
and given with commendable effect.
The lateness of the hour and our
limited space will not permit Of an ex-
tended notice. The honors of the
evening were carried off by Mrs. e. b.
Hayes. Being young, pretty and nat
ural she gave most attractive and
delightful delineation of the character
of Polly. There was nothing STACY,
awkward or parrot like about it. 1t
was as natural as life, and as fresh as
new mown hay, full of sprightliness,
life and brightness.
Mr.. .E. s. Hunts Captain Arthur
Hdutree was another very clever piece
of acting. His conception of the char
acter was accurate, aud it was played
with well bred sang (roid and care
less elegance which showed decided
dramatic talent.
The Ecctes of Mr.. l.. A. Payne was
another capital effort. He played the
drunken old reprobate, too lazy to work
and yet raving about the rights of the
laboring classes, with marked spirit.
His shabby, genteel makeup was ex-
ceedingly good.
Mr.. Leachnan as DAlroy, Mr.. w.
X. Wheelock as Sam Gerridge, Miss
Bryan as the Mdrq,tise, Mrs. Graham
as Esther and Mr.. Stillman as Diron
deserve much credit for their efforts.
Miss Bryan was unusually happy in
her delineation of the Marquise.
The after-piece of the Trough Dia-
mond" was very creditably played. |
Margery, the principal part, being
played with great vivacity and smooth
ness by Miss LeGross, who made a
handsome rough diamond set in a
very praisewOrthy caste. By all
means let the Salyini club continue.
They have done wonders, The club Is
0 success.

And for "The Rough Diamonds" a.
Loves Labor Won.

On Wednesday next, in Council
Bluffs, Iowa, R. E. Montgomery, Esq,
will lead to the altar Miss Lettie
Dodge, the amiable and accomplished
daughter of General G. NJ. Dodge,
chief engineer OF the Texas and Pacific
railway. Both bride and groom are
well known favorites in our sister city,
Marshall. Mr.. Montgomery has filled
the position of right-of-way agent for
the Texas and Pacific for year past,
and host of friends in railway circles
will wish him joy. The engagement is
one of long standing, and we trust
reality may not prove traitor to antic-
ipation in its contamination. The
happy pair will accept the thanks of
the writer for their kind remem brance
of him, and his regrets that he can not
be present on the suspicious occasion.
May heaven of love smile on the
union of hand and heart, and may the
roses of their welded bliss be undying
in fragrance.

Murphy, under the firm name OF
Prather G. Murphy, has been dissolved,

name, and solicits, as he deserves, a
continuance of the liberal patronage
heretofore bestowed upon the old
firm. Mr.. Murphy, as we have here

our city, and we most cordially COM
