DISEASES OF THE EYE ANDsAR.

A CHICAGO letter says that a good story
is being told at the expense of Billy Man
ming. a negro minstrel well known in this
country. For some time Manning has
been playing send man" with Kelly &
Icons Minstrels, while Luke SehOOlcraft
offciated in like amusing capacity at the
other end. The other evening Clara Louise
Kellogg. of the English Opera Troupe, Oc-
cnpjed private box, and was an auditor
Of the entertainment. To add 10 her
Measure. the management placed large
basket of beautiful flowers on pedastol in
front Of her box. Looking al this bouquet
from the auditorium, it appeared to be di-
rectIv in front Of Luke SchOOlcraft. Early
in the evening the wife Of Billy Manning
She who once was Mollie Williams, an Irish
actress of some little nOte-entered the
house. and took her seat in the dress circle.
Hardly had she seated herself, however,
when she discovered the basket OF
flowers. Without making inquiry INTO
the matter, she at once made up
her mind that some admIrer OF
Luke SchoOlcraft had sent him a hand-
some bouquet. Her Irish blood was up,
and she determined Billy should nave
larger and better one. She rushed rom
the place, ran across the street 20 u Sller-
man House, purchased two large baskets ei
flowers, aud returned with them 10 the the
atre. When the head usher handed the
floral Offering to Manning, the goOd-natured
audience burst into applause, whereuPon
the comedian stood up and thanked MISS
kellogg for the beautiful gift.

NOT SO RAD AFTER ALE.

Mrs. S. NJ. Pollard, young milliner Of
BinghamptOn, Y. Y, is in luck. Her
fathers brother and her uncle, was wild,
and wandered of to California in the early
days Of the golden State, when he was a
young man and his niece little girl. The
wanderers family would have nothing
more to do with him, and never got any
news from the far-off land in which he had
thrown himself away. They thought and
spoke of him as gone to the dOgs, and q
disgrace to the honorable name Of Pollard.
Little Miss Pollard remembered her uncle.
He had been good and kind and gentle to
her, and she never thought he was so bad a
man. When she grew little, she made
efforts to ascertain her uncie's whereabouts,
and succeeded. She wrote TO him, in her
little pratliDg way, and he became inter-
ested in the correspondence, and answered
her letters regularly. Thus, Miss Pollard
kept up constant communication with her
uncle. Who knows but that correspondence
with ali innocent girl may have saved him,
and induced him TO change his wild ways?
The other day Miss Pollard received a
letter from San Francisco stating that her
uncle had recently died, leaving her sole
heir to his property, consistingof S1O5, 900 in
cash and 100000 in houses and lands. 50
Uncle Pollard was not so bad man after
all. He was certainly good enough for the
paper and postage expended in keeping
up a correspondence with him.
Little girls should always low
ingly remember their uncles in India or
California 1t does not cost much, and the
investment, without any very great risk Of
loss, sometimes pays. 1t did in Miss Pol
lard's case. She will now buy her bonnets
aud other fine fixings at the old stand, and
bless Uncle Pollarfs memory as long as
she lives

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 13.-In the matter

Murder and Cremation of His Wife.
81. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. l3.-The Waterloo
Monroe couiity, III } fm;es to-day has an
account of the arrest and preliminary ex-
animation of Barney MacMahOn, living
three miles from BurkeSville county, for
the murder of his wife the 9th Of last
August, and the subsequent burning of her
body. II appears MacMahon and wife
lived unhsppily, frequent quarrels occur
ring between them, and his children by
former wife, treated her very badly. Mrs.
Mac cMahon had left home several times
under harsh treatment, but always had
been persuaded to retnrn by the husband.
On Aug. s, MacMahon sent his children to
visit friends, and on their return next day
they were told their mother had started 10
Burkesville, since Wien She was not
heard from. On the day Of her disap-
pearance, MacMahon fred log heap, some
distance from the house, and kept it burn
ing two weeks. Il emitted 4 terrible
stencil, and when asked the cause, Mac
MahOn said he was burning chickens that
had die I of cholera. Suspicion having re-
Gently been aroused that Mrs. MaeMahon
had been foully dealt with, Samuel Pro-
tine, an independent detective, of st. Louis,
was employed to work up the case. Pro-
tine and Prosecuting Attorney Riesse ar
r.ved here to-day, and the EreniHg Dis
patch gives quite a lengthy account
of the affair, derived from them. After
MacMahOn's log heap burned, the ground
was plowed over, but, on examination
by the detective several hair pins, small
buttons and bones which looked like finger
bones and part of an upper jaw bone with
teeth attached We're found. This led othe
arrest of MacMahon and the evidence ad-
duced at the preliminary examination, and
the improbable and contradictory state
menis made by MacAlahon and his chill
dren led to his being held in 81 900 bond, to
answer the charge of manslaughter. Great
excitement exists in the neighborhOOd.
MacMahon is we'll advanced in life and
has grown children.
