Death of Mrs. T. II. Perkins.

The wife of Mr. T. H. Perkins OF this
city died on the 10th OF this month of
consumption. W. J. McMasters editor
Of the Lake City Lrodcr publishes in a
late number Of his paper the following
beautiful and deserved tribute to her
memory:
Nearly eight years ago. Mrs. Perkins
came to Lake City, the witely compan-
ion Of our intimate friend and ( then }
business associate: where she spent the
first happy years Of her married life.
becoming we'll known to numerous ap-
preciative friends. She resided here
about three years removing with her
husband and child to Red Wing in
1869. For several years since her re-
moval she has been an invalid. The
death Of her on y chila--a bright and
happy boy-ovcr a. year ago, seemed to
hasten her days into a rapid decline,
from which there is no return this side
of the dark valley Since then she has
been more than ever an object Of anx-
ious and tender solicitude On the part
of loving friends. During the past
win'er She failed steadily and on Sun
day last at the opening dawn, quietly
laid down her weary burden, and en-
tered upon the eternal Sabbath of rest
In the sweet fields of Eden
Where the Tree of Life is blooming.
1t is nnly those who knew Mrs. Per-
kins in the reserved circle Of her tami-
ly and intimate friends and in the quiet
routine Of her home life who will en-
tirely appreciate her as the gentlest and
best Of women and they can only real
ize in the depth Of sorrow that reigns
in the tender sensitive breast Of him
who remains to walk alone The shad-
ows Of life's dark hours, which encom-
pass all at sometimes, have fallen on his
pathway, but it may be consoling to re-
member that
We see but dimly through the mists and
vapors:
Amid these earthly lamps
what seems US but dim funereai tapers
May be Heavens distant lamps.
In the close and cordial relation with
our old and tried companion, we can
assure him Of the most generous and
hearty sympathy ii his very many
friends, who viii! very earnestly y hope
that He who has promised to remember
US in our SORROWS and given the ample
assurance II will not leave you com
FORTRESS: will be very uear in this day
Of his trial.

Box AND Cox.-A great many Of
our citizens will be surprised to learn that
the comic operetta entitled I" Box and Cox -
was presented at Music Hall on Thursday
and Friday evenings last by home talent
at least the numbers Of the audience
seemed to indicate a most profound igno-
rance on the part Of the public Of what was
being done for their amusement and en-
Joyment. 1t is true, the weather was un-
favorable, but this is no excuse for not sup
porting and encouraging home talent.
AS an amateur performance the rendition
was most excellent. In the character Of
Cox, Gen. Jennison succeeded most admir-
ably in piling on all the agony of high trae-
edy, and illustrated the modern stvle of
operate singing to dot. Mr.. Raymond
made no attempt to be anything but natur-
al, and if he did not burlesque modern act-
ing he at least did not spoil the play by at
tempting something he could not accom-
plish. His rendition Of the character Of
Box was we'll received while his sinpinp
was rapturously applauded. Mr.. Sheldon's
conception Of the character of Bouncer was
by no means perfect. He failed to exhibit
the terrible anxiety under which the land
lord who was attempting to lodge two per-
sons in the same room must have suffered
IN the constant anticipation Of discovery.
But II his acting scarcely met expectation
his singing went beyond it, and we do not
know who could have been substituted to
perform that part more acceptably upon
the whole.
For our part we we're delighted with the
entertainment throughout. Of course, no

and pleased the audience.
1t is to be hoped that another such enter
talnment will not be attempted at this
place until our people shall have learned
to appreciate home talent.
TIE modern plan of doing it is to make
cool million or so ont Of the Indians and
then buy Bishop to give you a certificate.

one of your own, than it is to bother ones

puf"h.
We suggest to the DispotrA the necessity
of bringing this matter to a close in some
shape or other. Bishop Whipple, to whom
al'nslon is made. has been many years in
this State. Has been active and efficient in
building up churches and schools. He NAV
not have much force as a man Of talent, but
he is universally admitted to be a good
man.
If the Dispatch has any specific charges
OF misconduct in public affairs to make.
the more digni6ed course would be to lodge
them quietly before a more proper tribu-
nal. Perhaps the old South Committee
would accept them as " supplementary pro-
