In letter to friend in Chicago, Miss Anna

cent enthusiastic reception at Moscow:

and it may be, as the jealous ones
used to say, when l was applauded,

erOus climate, but after my first rehearsal with
the orchestra knew that failure would not
be the verdict. for the musicians rose to APP

noticed an artist. That gave me courage. The
terrible night came, and put CD the war paint
with fear and trembling, and my eyes were
double their size with excitement. sang my
couplets which open the second act of Irova-

Cincinnatians at the Festival (bless them), 1

but for the life of me l couldn't tell which it
was, so stood still, as frightened as goose,
and then, in my misery, | bowed first to the
'plebs.' Horrors! When 1 came to my senses
l bowed to the wrong box, After the delirious
scene was applauded and shrieked at until

then bowed to the wrong box again! After
the close of the second act we were called out
four times. By that time / knew where to

times, and after the entire opera we went out
six times.
The second time we sang the public was even
more enthusiastic, and had to go out alone

a MYSTERY Yesterday morning a family
living on Smith street, discovered a roll of
cloth in vault near by. Word was left at the
police station and Deputy Bridges and officers
Merrill and Durham went to the spot and
found silk sacque of fine pattern and two
rolls of new CLOTH No one living near can
give any information as to how the articles
came there, and it is quite mystery. The
sacque is of the finest black silk and must
have cost quite a sum, and the cloth is such as
is used to line ladies' boots 1t is said that two
well dressed ladies' were seen coming from the
vicinity Saturday evening, but this fact does
not explain the mystery If the articles were
stolen why were they not sold or thrown into
the street2

the meeting being crowded. The speeches by

The few sad experiences of their past lives
which they gave must result in doing some
good, as those present who are in the habit of
drinking, either moderately or to excess, can
see what their fate will be if they continue to
use intoxicating liquors. At the close of the
meeting the Club was cordially invited to come
again. The next meeting will be held at Will

THE MISSING MAN FoUND.-Our Fairfield
correspondent says that young Bradbury, whose
disappearance from Skowhegan, where he had
been at school, caused so much alarm in Fair
field, where his parents reside, returned to his
fathers house Fri lay evening in bewildered
state of mind. All that could be learned con-
corning him was that he said he lefl the road
between Skowhegan and Fairfield and travelled
by an unfrequented route to West Waterville,
where he took the cars, From that point moth
ing definite can be learned of his travels for a
week. A long and very hard course of study,
both In school and out,h doubtless over-taxed
his mind, causing his wanderings.
Three or four years ago, young Bradley, then
a cabinet maker, boarded with Mr.. Jonathan
Eastman, of the firm Of D. B. Kicker & Co.
Friday morning be went into the store of the
firm and spoke to Mr.. E, who remarked to
him that he was looking well. Bradbury re
piled that he was better physically than men,
tally. He said that he had come from Boston
the night previous on the boat and was on his
way home. He was short of money, and Mr..
Eastman lent him as much as he asked for
enough to purchase ticket to Fairfield. Mr..
Eastman also took him to the station and was
quite particular to see him off, having seen the

WHO Is Mrs. WINsLow?-As this question
is frequently asked, we will simply say that
she IS lady who, for upwards of thirty years,
has nntringly devoted her time and talents as
femae Physician and nurse, principally
among children. She has especially studied
the consultation and wants Of this numerous
class, and, as result OF this effort, and practi
cal knowledge, obtained in lifetime spent as
purse and physician, she has compounded
Soothing Syrup, for children teething. 1t OPP
crates like magic-giving rest and health, and
IS, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In
consequence of this article, Mrs. Winslow is
becoming world renowned as benefactor of
her race; children do certainly rise up and
bless her; especially is this the case in this
city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup
are daily sold and used here. We think Mrs.
Winslow has immortalized her name by this
invaluable article, and we sincerely believe
thousands of children have been saved from
an early grave by its timely use, and that mil.
lions yet unborn will snare its benefits, and
unite IN calling her blessed. No mother has
discharged her duty to her suffering little one,
in our opinion, until she has given it the bene-
fit OF Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup Try it,
mothers-try it now Ladies Visitor, New

The recent tremendous freshets which have food.
ed some of the most fertile low lands Of the United

were there in profusion, from loving
friends, as testimony of esteem and affec-
ton for the beautiful and accomplished
bride.
Among those present was Mr.. George

bride. thus making the family circle COM
