The Bergers ana Sol. smith Russell.

The well known Berger Family in con-
nection with the noted Sol. Smith Russell
are billed for two entertainments in this
city. The company comprises among other
celebrities, Miss Annie Berger, a perfect
musical genius, and WHO is a great f~avorite
here. Then there are Misses Elite and
Josie Berger whose bell duets are still
ringing in the ears Of host Of admirers.
Henry Berger is still connected with the
troupe, and Ernest 1hiele sstill the master
Ofthe violin. But the feature of the en-
tertainment is the great Russell. The
Macon Telegraph and Messenger thus
speaks of his performance in that city:
He was the same Russell who had been
here before, bat enlarged and improved.
His presentations are finer than they ever
were. He can make UglieT faces than he
could before. He is in fact better in every
way. His last piece was always his best.
His character songs, his "DOrcaS Penny
royal, his character representations. were
fine as they could have been. His school
boys composition produced a perfect con
vUlSion OF laughter. His limitations Of the
jolly fellow, the hypochoHdriac and other
characters, which required great facial
power, Were rendered in n manner that ex-
cited both the wonder and laughter of the
audience.

Printers Strike.

The printers in indianapolis struck fo~
higher rates a few days since. The FHIi-
CsUpOIis journal Of the Sd contains the
following:
The first outrage, and for the sake of the
printers themselves we hope IL may be the
last, OF the present strike occurred last
evening about dark in the firing Of a pistol
shot at n of the windows Of the Sentinel
office. Two persons were working in the
room near which +he ball struck, and the
evident intention was TO fire through the
window. The bullet, however, struck a lit
tie below the window and flattened against
the wall. We have no doubt this act will
be severely condemned by the printers,
most of whom are men of correct and hon
Orable impulses; but all strikes lead to
such acts, and the public must necessarily
hold striking organizations more or less re-
SpOnsible for them.
i. S.-Half amour after the foregOingwas
written, at about half-past six o'clock in
the evening, a pistol shot was fired through
the window Of the journal engine-room, the
ball passing close to Mr.. John Mack, our
engineer, and flattening itself on the fly
wheel of the engine. Tie ball is now in our
possession. Such acts are not calculated to
enlist publicsympathy, but they 60 to prove
what we have said, that the tendency of all
strikes is toward violence in spite of the
efforts Of some honorable participants to
prevent it.

The Louisville, Nashville and Great
Southern Railroad.

The Louisville Commercial of the 4tb

Nashville and Great Southern Railroad
Company is increasing. and, in proportion
to the ratio Of increase. additional hands
are being employed. Work is slowly prp-
crossing in all departments Of the road, and
it viii will not be leEg before there will be
a general resumption. The partial suspen-
sion OF work last fall, whereby thirty-three
and a third per cent. of the men employed
III the mechanical, transportation, and road
departments were discharged, wes caused
by the panic and epidemicS in the South.
Ihe yellow fever and cholera at Nashville.
also the cholera at Memphis cut OFF all
travel to and from these cities, and when
disease had disappeared the whole South
was completely Frustrated by it. Close
following this came the panic in the North.
which had the effect to curtail shipments.
The movements Of the railroad company
were characterized with great prudence
throughout the suspension. Married men
were always given the preference, when of
equal ability, to others. Previous to the
time the men We're discharged less work
was given them, working hours shortened,
and all possible experiments resOrted to in
order to keep the men employed as long as
possible.

late hour, after the girls father had told
his daughter that she must never sit up
later than ten O'Clock, discovered, recently,
as he was leaving the house, that the old
mans barn had been fired by an in~cendiary.
He succeeded i'll eXtinguishing the flames
with little or no loss. And now the natu-
raj inference would be that the owner of
the barn would invite that young man to
sit up with his daughter until a late hour
every night, TO guard against a renewal of
the incendiary attempt. But he didn't.
On the contrary, he accused his daughters
lover of setting fire to the barn, and sup
plemented his remarks with the warning
that if he came fooling around his Maria

viii have your own way TO make in the
world. l have fifty cents in my pocket, not
a cent more, so after breakfast L think I'll
take you out and get a boOt-blacking ap-
paratus for you. You must learn to black
your own boots like a poor mans son, you
know. The little fellow listened intently,
then said: We'll, papa, can't l black your
boots and save you something? 20 GER
taiBly, if you wish his father answered.
After breakfast the investment was made.
Tho Y morning the enterprising young
ster rose at daylight, and before anybody
was up and could interfere, had blackened
every boot in the Sprague mansion, includ-
ing a pair Of his mothers which had been
bought recently for nineteen dollars, and
which, of course, were utterly ruined"

COURT LIFE CHARMS.
From the London Spectator.

FROM tnc LONDON Spectator.
Princes, as d rule, do not commit suicide.
In the whole range Of modern history, COM
mencing say 1900 A. D., We do not remem-
Der a Prince who has chosen that mode of
exit from the world; aid we scarcely re-
member, in all the memories, secret histO-
rieS, and books of anecdOte we have seen,
one Of whom suicide might not have been
predicted as a method of getting rid of a
weary life. The Emperor Nicholas is said,
in a story still doubtful, though widely diff
fused, to have exeTted his sovereign will
over his own life, rs lie had long exerted il
over his subjects lives; but he was a sOveT-
eien with plenty 10 do, and no motive ex-
eept pride for thinking he had lone it bad
ly. He had not done it badly from his
point of view, having preserved the auto
crazy, the pOntiifkinship as perfect as he
had received from any ancestor, and having
indeed, incred as its range o actiOn. IL is the
princes, not the kings,C whom we speak.and
we can scarcely conceive a more eahUydnt
life than theirs. There is no memoir. no
true accounts of courts, which does not
tell the same StOry-that they have all the
drawbacks and nOn Of the cOmpenSatiOns
OF royalty; that they are things rather than
men or women, the first menials tied to the
car, of which, as it brushes them, they are
proud. Their marriages are settled for
them. Their a~ppendages are settled for
them, and, except in Russia, and perhaps
Austria, where they have certain fixed
rights under a family arrangement, always
on a mean scale. and they are expected
that is, cOmpelled-always to take part in
the everlasting pageant which makes up
the daily life of courts, and which,
whether it takes the form of a re-
view or a Hhunt," or a ball, or a re-
ception, or a dinner must be, and in scores
Of memoirs is acknOwled to be, so hope
lessly dreary. There is a story going the
round of the papers Just now which seems
almost horrible, that = grand duke Of Rus
Sia-whO for three years has been making
the tour Of the globe, feted everywhere,
caressed everywhere, but always I'M
happy and dissatisfied, has this week
received the order TO make the tour again,
the sole reason being tOprevent his marry
ing the lady TO whom lie is attached. Just
think what that means. To sail on, and
on forever, without hope or knowledge or
accustomed faces, or regular duty, till your
spirit is brokentO give up what yOu never
viii GRE up voluntarily, or can give up
without Oftense to your conscience.
