AMUSEMENTS.

At the Varieties Theatre last night was
produced the fine old English comedy. the
Road TO Ruin" with fine cast. IS can
easily be given to any standard play with
the company now at this theatre. The
character of Old Dornton is one drawn true
to nature, developing touching tenderness
for his wayward son, struggling against
duty 20 chide and withhold money and
favor as man OF business and honor. Mr..
Chippendale 10 one OF the sterling old men
of the stage. and skillfully manages such
parts. Harry Dornton fell to Mr.. E. +.
Thorne, and it fitted him we'll. Milford in
troduced Mr.. Harry Cotton. who in that
character made his first appearance at the
Varieties. Mr. Cotton is fine young actor,
one who came here as leading man with the
Lingard Comedy Company, and makes =
valuable acquisition to Manager Owens
forces. Mr.. J. J. Wallace shows himself an
artist in every personation he attempts, and
he did not fail to make character of the
m,serly Silky. Sophia proved to be q char
acter exactly in the line of Miss Laura Don,
and che has not before appeared to
better advantage, while Miss Ada Gilman
won new laurels as Jenny. These words
for the few mentioned are not undeserved
praise The old comedies are exacting in
their reuuirements; they were written tor
old time London comDanies-where every
member vas an artist-with all characters
distinctly drawn, and they have been 80
often and we'll played in this country before
the star system made such havoc with stock
| inf rs
them now would suffer by comparison.
These pieces are acted perfectly at the Bos-
ton Museum and at Wallack's in New York:
in other theatres they are scarcely attempt.
ed. Managers say they do not draw; but
the fa. is much with tho companies. With
the precedence Of strong companies and
fine performances in mind, 1t is much to
say that the Road TO Ruin" was last night
finely mounted, cOstumed and acted. 1t
will be repeated again tonight. AT the
matinee to-day will be played the "MarbIe
Heart"
Baker and Farron continue at the Aca
DENY Of Music in their sensational drama,
''The Cut Glove" Matinee to-day as usual.
The queer Msjiltons are still capering
Oosturing. dancing and acting at the St
Charles Theatre. and will astonish the little
ones ut the matinee to-day.
At the Opera House tonight will be sung
| the grand opera "Trovatore." in which
Messrs. Chelli, Meric, Greet. and Mesdamee
| Vercken and Teoni will appear. In the
| fifth act Mr.. Mermert and Mile. Sickel will

! night will be given Donizetti's opera ''The
Child Of the Regiment" and lie Chalet
comic opera"

! at the Globe Theatre on the occasion of the
benefit Of Mr.. Ernest Byne. At noon to-day

Another Battle with che Indians.

The New York Herald of the seventeenth
Instant contains dispatch from tho North
fork of McClellan's creek, Texas, Noyem.
ter 9. 1874, via Fort Dodge. Kansas. No
vember l6, giving an account Of another
battle with the Cheyennes:
To-day, near this spot, Lieutenant Frank
D. Baldwin, Of the Fifth United States in
fantrv. chief Of scouts, commanding de.
tachment. composed of Lieutenant S. Over.
tons Company D, Of the Sixth Cavalry, and
Lieutenant H. K. Baileys Company d, Of
she Fifth Infantry, while on a scout, had
brilliant engagement with about 200 OF the
Cheyenne Indians, who were before hand.
somely whipped by Captain II. Farnsworth,
of the Sixth United States Cavalry. on tho
sixth instant.
Today. from $50 A. N. to l:30 p. NJ,
ninety-eight men and howitzer fought
stubbornly and bravely against more than
200 Indians. After charging their aban.
doned camps. under CALLING fire, he cap.
tured their whole outfit. driving the Indians
eight miles from the last position OF those
successiveiy taken by them.
On the hilltops. hard and well won prizes.

by Lieutenant Baldwin, commanding. in
the persons Of two little starved white cap.

years, named Germon. whose father.
mother, eldest sister and brother were re-
Gently massacred in Kansas while going to
Colorado as settlers. Two remaining sis.
ters, aged thirteen and fifteen years, are yet
held BY the Indians, doomed to worse than
death.
Two desperate charges were made by the
Indians to regain them. They were bitterly
repulsed and handsomely charged by Lieu.
tenant Overton's company. The federal
troops got close enough to use pistols adj
yantageously. The horses were so much
used up after this that the men had 20 hight
afoot. About eighty or 100 trophies were
captured and much property destroyed.
The camp numbered from 400 to 500, count.
ing women and children. The pursuit
lasted tor twenty miles, and was not aban'
doned until P. NJ, when it became useless
and impossible for it TO be continued longer.
The horses were worn out, having had no
forage for four davs, and having marched
23O miles since October %. and $40 with
the present week. ..
No losses were sustained by our side.
Four Indians are known to have been
killed. How many more is not ascertained.
but at least twenty must have been SLAIN:

Read 1t All.

Read over carefully the whole scheme OF
the last Library concert. There is good
deal more in 1t than the capital gift alone.
There are four single gifts ranging from
$4,000 to 100000. and then there are hun.
dreds and thousands of smaller ones. but
none SO small that the person who draws
them would refuse to cash them because
they were beneath his anticipations There
is profit even in the smallest Of them.
A person who buys freely can hardly lose
anything worth mentioning. But few
days remain in which TO buy tickets. and as
they are now selling they may be all ex-
hausted before that time. This hint ought
to be euticient for any prudent man.

Ice for Dfphtherin.

Since that dreadful disease, diphtheria,
has made such fearful ravages in New
York. and is, indeed, obtaining foothold
in Baltimore, it may not be out Of place at
this time. to call attention to recent letter,
written by DR.. George Cragin, o. the
Oneida Community. which thus explains a
novel. but very successful treatment Of
diphtheria:
Recognizing as we do the spiritual nature
of disease, as well as its physical character
istics, our first efforts were TO arouse the
snirit of the patient by means Of criticism
to resist the power and leaden influence OF
disease, which enve!oped him like a cloud /.
stupefyiDg and beiogging every menta!
faculty and effort OF the will to repel the
intruder. The invariable effect Of criticism
was to stir up the patient in mind and
heart to make stout defense against the
attack, to resist the influence of the disease
with might and main, and to throw him
into sweat. thus at once relieving the
fever.
The next thing was to prepare quantity
of ice broken into small bits which could
be easily taken into the mouth and swal-
lowed or allowed to melt, letting the piece
slip as far back as possible around the roots
of the tongue, tOnsils, and upper part OF the
throat. This application OF Ice was mauo
every ten minutes, day and night, until
every vestige of the canker had disappeared
and the inf1arhmation had subsided. Dur
ing the day the patients, unless very sick,
could help themselves to the ice if supply
we're placed at the bedside or near at hand;
but during the night watchers were re.
Qulred to give the necessary lump OF ice
every ten minutes, one nurse attending to
several patients. This course of treatment
was faithfully followed as long as there
were any traces of the disease about, and
although we had over sixty cases during
the fall and winter, and many OF them very
severe we lost not single patient after
adopting the ice criticism treatment.
OF course the application OF criticism
would be difficult, if not impossible, under
ordinary hospital routine or private prac'
tice, even if desired by the patient; but the
application of ice can be made under any
circumstances. and there must be but few
who can not afford d few pounds OF medl
cine so cheap, so pure and so powerful.
The efficacy of the ice treatment lies IN
it's being applied continuously until every
trace of the fungus growth has disappeared
and the swelling and infamma ton has sub
sided. Acids and alkalies and fashionable
yargles will in some measure check the
morbid growth, but they can not sllay the
fierce heat and reduce the Inflammation Of
the swelled throat. Ice will do both ano
not injure the patient. Try it.
