Mark Twain's Simple Play and the Way
ii Was SnOjIpd

The plot of the "Gilded Age" is, as we
have intimated, simplicity itself. 1t consists
of steamboat explosion on the Mississippi, a
visionary Spectator and murder trial. The
local cOloring is intensified by an extremely
mistake not, an addition to our list of stock
Colonel Sellers provides for his guest, and
can domestic life. The ingenuity with which
these slender materials are worked up, SO as
to leave upon the mind of the spectator at
the close only vague and pleasing impress
sion that the national drama has been before
him, and that it is safely over, can net be too
highly commended. As to characters, there
is but one, and that one appears to be the
fault of Mr.. John T. Raymond, who plays it,
rather than of the gifted author. His idea
appears to have been, as already suggested,
to omit characters altogether as weak ex-
travagance in the national drama, and con-
fine himself to the representation of few
broad, familiar phases of everyday American
life. Nj. Raymond unfortunately failed to
comprehend the central idea of the dramatist,
and he has inadvertently made of his part
one of the best, most mirth-provoking and
most original bits !of Characterization which
any American actor has lately given us. How
that unlucky slip may react upon the future
of the national drama, we cannot even con-
lecture. But we strongly advise Mr.. mark
TWAIN" when he shall have fl nished his
next American play, to have nothing to do
with Mr.. Raymond, unless he wishes it
spoiled by the introduction Of characters
where he never intended it.

In short it Is the SIMPLEST. SAFEST, most
DURABLE and most ECONOMICAL Engine in
the world. We fully guarantee them in all the above
particulars. COLTS ARMS co. have spared no
expense in getting up SPECIAL TOOLS AND MA
CHIMES with which to build these Engines, so thai
every part is made up to gauge and are perfectly in
derstood by all who at all familiar with machin-
cry Thus, every Engine of given size is an exact
duplicate of every other of that size, and
OF breakage, the broken part can be Immediately
placed by its perfect duplicate.
The inventor of this Engine had in view, in its
construction the great need that exists for perfect
Steam Engne-of small power-adapted to all kinds
OF light mechanical work, and that should also
bine all that is good in Steam Engineering.
The first point was, to secure perfectly philo-
most perfect combustion, and to take up the greatest
possible amount of heat IN generating steam.
The second point was, to make perfect cutoff
Engine, working steam expansively, and keeping up
the temperature OF the cylinder to prevent loss by
radiation or condensation.
The third point was, to combine and make the
whole mechanically and scientifically correct ma
chine; all its parts being provided with means to
take up lost motion, that it may be used for any
number of years, and always run smoothly. In all
these particulars much care has been taken in
the largest and most perfect engine ever constructed
The result is-THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF POWER
PROP0RTIONED to THE AMOUNT OF FUEL CON-
sUMED-thus proving the fact-wen known to men
of science-thdt acater is the best medium to trans
init the mechanical forces, generated in the com"
QUESTION of fuel to the production of motive poacer.

pledge to thee this golden cup,
Filled with my life's red wine;
Drain if thou wilt the generous draught,
For every drop is thine.
Look down into its sparkling depths,
And watch the bubbles bright
That rise from out its ruby heart
And break in foamy light.
Then take the cup pledge to thee,
Filled with draught divine;
NV soul lies trembling on the brim,
And every drop is thine;
Is thine to take or to reject;
But if reject thou must,
Toss to the winds the worthless wine,
And crush the cup to dust

Colonel Joseph Mayo, State Treasurer
Of Virginia, who had absented himself
from Richmond during the trial Of Cole
man, returned on Saturday morning, and
was arrested at the railroad depot. The
arrest was made on warrant from Judge
Guigon, charging him with having embez-
zled $1,000 Of the State funds on the 3lst
of December last. Iu the afternoon,
Mayo, who had shown signs of great
mental excitement, and was ineoherent in
his talk, was admitted to bail in $4,000
for his appearance on April 10Th 1t was
testified at the hearing by several witnesses
that Mayo's mind had been seriously afFec-
ted for several months, and that his
imprisonment might cause permanent in-
sanity or death. He is now attended by
physicians ut his residence. Governor
kemper on Saturday sent a message to
the State Legislature, informing them of
the State Treasurer having absenIed himself
without notice, and that body appointed a
joint committee to inquire what action
should be taken. A full investigation of
the affairs of the State Treasures Office
is therefore expected.
