PEANUT eatingis so fashionabein Koch
ester New York, that the Chronicle asks
for law to prevent the masticaton OF
these nuts in pnblic assemblies.
Would the Chronicle restrict the 'pur-
suit of happiness of the American peo-
pie? Are not peanuts happiress? Give
ten boys dime each and nine Of them
will invest their dimes in peanuts. What
is a circus good for without peanuts?
What does the average beau do the very
first thing after settling his dulcinea in a
seat at play? Why, cmpties a quart
of peanuts-regardless Of cxpense--into
her capacious lap. Pass law forbldding
the eating of peanuts in public assem-
blics! 'Twould be fraud on the Ameri-
can soil. Never, never. Give us liberty
to eat peanuts-or give us death.

ilton was we'll rewarded for bis enterprise
in Offering to the Wheeling public such
first class amussments as suit their taste
by full house, last evening. The ocea-
sion was the appearance on our boards OF
Mile. lima De Murska, "The Celebrated
Hungarian Nightingale" and her troupe.
From notices of the troupe which had
preceded it, the entire community was
led to expect something exceeding the
ordinary class of entertainments, and
Judging from the applause which
WAS bestowed, the audience
were entirely satisfied that
their expectations had been realized
There may have been felt shade Of dis
appointment in the performance OF Mile
De Murska herself, for while some Of her
notes are very sweet, she certainly is not
equal either to Miss Kellogg, or to Mad
anne Parepa Rosa of happy memory.
However the lady did very we'll, and was
rapturously encored, each time that she
made her appearance.
The rest of the troupe all performed
most creditably. The fine tenor OF
Mr.. Habelmann was highly appre-
ciated; Signor Braga on the violincello,
and NJ. Sauret on the violin, showed
themselves thorough masters of their re-
spective instruments, and gave great de-
light to all Madame Saurct also IN her
performances on the Piano, displayed the
thorough artistic, and this, added to her
grace and pleasing appearance, called
forth decided appreciation,
Probably nothing of the entire evening
was so thoroughly enjoyable as Signor
Ferranti, who, with his fine baritone and
good natured, hearty acting, demanded
round after round of applause. The final
Duet between Mile De Murska and him
self, was well sung, and fascinatingly
acted and was an agreeable close to a
most agreeable evening.
Upon the whole the concert was sue
cess. Everybody was satisfied, and every
one appreciated the efforts of the manage
ment to do its best. Should the DE
Murska troupe again see fit to visit our
city, they will receive equally as warm
and cordial reception as they can desire
"LADY" KLEPToMANIAs.-L even
ing about s o'clock. two women entered
the jewelry store of Hennegen, Bates "
Co., on Main street, and asked to be
shown some sleeve buttons and other
small articles of jewelry with view of
making n purchase. After looking
over the stock for some little
while they concluded not to make
in investment, as they could not
find anything that just suit
ed their tastes, whereupon they left
the store. In few minutes pair of
silver buttons were discovered missing
by the saleswoman, and suspccting the
women that had just departed had quietly
gobbled them up, an offer was
informed of the matter and the women
overtaken, and the missing sleeve but
tons found in the possession of one OF
them. The property was returned to
Messrs. Hennegen, Bates X Co, and
the women were allowed to 90
their way without being arrested, as
the firm refused to enter any complaint
against them. The name of the women
were respectively, Lizzie Rhodes and
Mary Beck; the former of East Wheel
ing, and the latter hailing from Martin S
Ferry, we believe.

A NUISANCE THAT SHOULD BE ABAT-
ED.-The habit that Wheeling audiences
are VIGOROUSLY guilty OF is getting two
entertainments for one price of admission,
by continual and repeated sneores. There
is no doubt that a recognition ofthe clos
ing efforts of public performances by an
audience is due, and that applause
encourages as we'll as gratifies.
Nothing is so dispiriting as an
audience seated cold and passionless,
unmoved to signs of appreciation by the
power and eloquence of song. On the
other hand it is annoying when an audi
ence persists in encoring every piece
upon the programme, and insists upon a
repetition. This disagreeablc practice is
especially noticed at our concerts, and
last night was no exception to the rule
The programme is arranged with
view of furnishing an entertainment OF
sufficient length. Allowing for an occa-
sional outburst of genuine enthusiasm
properly calling for short repetition
the managers of concerts generally make
the evenings entertainment long enough
but when dozen ol
two persons in al audience
thoughtlessly and stubbornly insist upon
keeping up stamping and clapping
until their unreasonable demands are
complied, they are imposing upon the
patience of the rest of the audience and
unfairly taxing the endurance of the per
formers. 1t is nuisance, in fact, that
should be abated.

The Gold in the Black Hills.

The New York World is confident that if gold does exist in the Black Hills country, it will be dug out by white men, and that the digging will begin pretty soon, treaty or no treaty. It says: What do white persons of the present age care for Indian treaties The treaty, it may be depended upon, will not prevent the invasion. If the pold-hunters do not cut straight through it they will circumventi it. The boundaries of the Sioux reservation are very indefinitely described, that part of the country having never been fully surveyed, and this fact will make an evasion of the provisions of the treaty all the easier.
 It is stated that by taking particu- lar route, the gold bearing fields can be reached without trespassing upon the Indian reservation, and in connection with this plan it has been represented that the gold bearing fields do not lie wholly within the borders of the reser- vation and so high an official as Gen eral Sheridan is represented as saying that. provided it is ascertained that the gold fields do lie within the borders of the Sioux reservation, Congress can be induced to alter the terms of the treaty. It will make no difference, it appears, whether the Indians are willing to con- sent to change in the provisions of the treaty

The Great Tunnel,

The project to construct a tunnel be- tween France and England is assuming 8 practical phase. The capitalists and engineers embarked in this gigantic enterprise demand concession of thirty years, instead of ninety-nine, usually accorded to railroad companies, and ask for neither guarantee nor grant. Further, they are ready to advance 8 sum of four millions for preliminary in- vestigations. The project in question consists in the immerging of duct on the English and French coasts, and the boring of two long galleries from each side.
 Of the result of the enterprise, says the Journal de CalGis, there can be no doubt. The soul of the enterprise, with NM. Michel Chevalier, Leon Say, and Rothschild, is M. Lavalley, all en- gineer, who has surmounted the great est difficulties in the construction of the Suez Canal, and without whom that gigantic enterprise could not have been accomplished. M. Lavalley estimates the cost of the work at 15O, 100000 of francs the English engineers think it will amount to 250,OOO,OOO. He sug. gests that this work should be done partly by France and partly by Eng land, and that to induce the two coun- tries to press on this undertaking ener- getically there should be bonus for the one which works the fastest. The 4,00O, 900 francs forming, the prelimi- nary capital are nearly all, it IS said, subscribed. The French Railway du Nord will advance one million, the two companies from London to Dover one million, and Baron Rothschild 5OO,OOO francs It is hoped that Baron Lionel de Rothschild will subscribe the same sum. M. Ferdinand Duval offers 5O,- 900 for the city of Paris NM. Leon, Say, Chevalier, and Lavalley are each engaged to supply 25,O00 francs.

Life.Saying Apparatus.

A short time ago the United States Life-saving Corps tried an interesting experiment for saving life in case of shipwreck on the coast. A large con. course of people gathered at Asbury Park, near Ocean Grove, to witness the exhibition. A yacht anchored quar- ter of mile from the shore represented the wreck, and number of gentlemen on board of her the distressed subjects of rescue. A mortar threw ball over the vessel, strong line being attached to the ball, and stout rope to the line. Eager hands on the vessel caught the line and drew in the rope, and then they rapidly hauled toward them an inclosed air-tight life-boat, so con- structed that, roll as it might, no water could enter or submerge it. Several men were then placed in the Gfe-boat, securely fastened in, and the shoremen hauled it through the breakers to the shore. This was repeated until all the supposed subjects of danger were rescued
