WOODS STHEATER.-Mr. Toole was com.
plimented with crowded house at his
benefit last evening. The performances
was excellent in all respects; and no part
of it was better than Mr.. Toole's comic
lectures and his wonderful limitations
of famous tragic actors, in all of which
he gave conclusive evidence OF an abund.
ant flow of native wit and humor that
were alone sufficient to keep the audi
ence SIN a roar"
At the matinee to-day the "Cricket on
the Hearth" will be presented. Mr..
Toole will conclude his brilliant engage
ment this evening, when he will appear
in the sparkling little comedy, entitled,
"Dearer than Life" and in his renowned
character sketch "The Dodger.o
Next week, beginning with Monday
evening, the Frank Frayne Combination
will play an engagement at this theater
in 'Si. Slocum." F..
The opera of "Martha," rendered q
few evenings since at Pixies, is by gem
eral request to be repeated at the same
place on Thursday evening next. The
entire success of the former effort war;
rants The second presentations; and, as
new attractions and additional re-
hearsals and preparations have been
provided for the occasion, complete
success and superior rendering on
Thursday evening is doubly assured.
This will be the last entertainment given
at Pixies for the present at least, as the
Opera-house is to be closed after that
time, and our citizens will thus have an
opportunity OF testifying at the same
time their appreciation of the talent OF
the organization which gives the enter
tainment, and their regret at the closing
of this tine hall.

The officers detailed by Gen. Terry to
make u canvass OF the destitute people
III those portions of Minnesota whlch
have suffered by the grasshoppers re-
port 9,l54 persons totally destitute, OF
wnom 4, 9l7 are over twelve years OF age.
There is an appropriation by the Goy-
ernment Of $50 900 lor the reiiet OF these
people, and this Will be expended in the
purchase Of pork, flour, and other pro-
visions, Which Will be supplied by the
army commissary at cost prices. II is
understood tnat in addition to the ra-
lions cioihing will be issued where it is
needed. The officers engaged in this en-
roliment report that there were in
stances of attempted fraud by persons
who applied tor relief when they were
abundanLly able to provide for them
selves; but it is more gratifying to re-
cord The fact that many VINO were Sc
we're sufferers secuted the idea Of accept
ing Government aid, preferring to de-
pend on their own exeftlons and the
help of their more fortunate neighbors
Tor support until they could maze an
other harvest. In Dakota 5000 people
have been enrolled who are wholly des-
titute, and they will be supplied with
food and clothing under the supervision
OF the military authorities in That Terri

A first of April '.selp was perpetrated
by one of the morning newspapers in
Washington, which deceived large
number of persons. A circumstantial
story was printed to the effect that Mrs.
Fitch, while en- route from St. Louis with
her husband, was robbed of the diamond
necklace presented by the Khedye Of
Egypt. 1t went on to relate how the case
was gwen to The detectives, how they
worked it up, arrested a man and wo-
man who came on the train with Fitch
and his vile from St. Louis, in whose
possession the necklace was found, and
then stated that the necklace would be
on exhibition at the jewelry establish
ment of Gait u Bro. during the day. The
hoax was largely believed. Hundreds
of persons visited the jewelry store to
see the marvellous necklace. A large
number of friends and acquaintances Of
Gen. Sherman, including many army Off
GERS, called at the hotel at which it was
stated Mi. Fitch and his wife were stop
ping, to congratulate them on the recoy-
cry Of the diamonds. Several of the more
staid, steady people were greatly in
censed at the sell, but The majority took
it good naLuredly.

A Monmouth, New Jersey, journal
says: The great scandal suit brings up
the recollection of many incidents CON
nected with the parties to tAe suit. In
our papers on sold Times in Old Mon
mouth, we recently gave a chapter on the
history Of the Tilton family, which set
tied at a very early period in this
county. They were erratic in their
character, and got themselves and their
neighbors in hot water. Theodore no
. doubt inherited from old "Goody Tllton"
the propensity he exhibits for meddling
with his neIghbors and stirring them up
TO strife. During the Millerite excite
ment, thirty years ago, one Of the Tilton
family became convert to the crema-
tion theory, and on the day fixed for the
final conflagration he watched all day
and all night for the sound Of the angels
trumpet that was TO be the signal Tor
the commencement Of the pyrobechnlc
exhibition. He was very much dlsap-
pointed at the failure-so much that he
determined to undertake the matter
himself; SO he started fire in the
woods in his neighborhood, which
burned over one hundred acres of tim
ber before it could be stopped. 1t is re-
lated of another member ot the family,
who fourished in this neighbornood
about twenty years ago, that falling INTO
financial difficulties, he called in his
principal creditor, and, pointing out to
him his stock OF flour and iced in bags
piled up at one end OF the store, pro-
posed to turn it all over to him in settle
ment OF his claim. The proposition was
accepted and the creditor came in pos
session of the stock, when upon exami-
ton the bags were found to be all filled
with saw-dust.

BERLIN, April 10.-The difficulty be-
tween Germany and China relative to
the plundering of the bark Prince Bis
marck has been satisfactorily settled.
LONDON, April 10.--The London Times,
reviewing the text of the German note to
Belgium, says expectations were justi-
fed that fuller knowledge Of the German
note would remove the serious construc-
tions which have been made of it. Ger
many demonstrates with Belgium, and
makes recommendations beyond the
bounds OF good taste, but puts forth
nothing which we are able fairly to call
a threat. 1t will be the interest of every
tree nation to protest against claim
tnat expressions of sympathy with any
cause IN a foreign country belong to the
order of International wrongs which the
State is bound to restrain. The circum-
stance that neither party to the dispute
has appealed to the powers guarantee
ing Belgian independence also somewhat
diminishes the importance OF the. affair.

The sutro tunnel, often mentioned in
connection with the subject of Nevada
mining, is an unfinished work of unap-
preciated magnitude. The famous Com
stock lode is in tissure several miles
long and OF unknown depth. Over
$200, 900, 900 worth OF silver and gold has
been taken out Of it. To reach the rich
deposit shafts are sunk all along the
VEN, and some of them are 1000 feet
deep. The lowest mines are the most
productive, but the air in them is 30 hot
that the miners can only work on the
system of five minutes labor followed by
fifteen of rest. This makes mining there
very uncomfortable and expensive. Mr..
outrO's plan is to run tunnel from the
foot of the mountain, meeting the lode at
right angles, and then following 1t, the
total length being about eight miles.
This would furnish handler outlet for
the ore, besides draining and ventilating
the mines. The tunnel, which is now
about third done, is IA feet wide by 10
high, and will cost about 5000, 900. The
company will get a royalty OF " a ton
from the miners, and the ownership Of
any mineral lodes which the tunnel may
strike on the way to the Comstock vein.
