MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES.


In consequence oil the indisposition OF Mrs.
Rousby there was no performance last night at
the Lyceum Theatre. She Will, however, appear
this evening Her last performance in the role OF
the Lady Elizabeth takes place on Saturday even
ing. On Monday night she appears for the FIRST
time IN LAS You Like It."
Miss Lima Mayr appeared last evening at the
Stadt Theatre in ale Part du Diable" by Auber.
The opera is not one OF Auber's best, although 1t
contains many pretty melodies and taking airs.
The role OF Carlo Broschi requires principally
dash, rerue, and this quality Miss Mayr possesses
in high degree. Her singing last evening was
unusually good ana her acting was spirited and
graceful. The other members Of the cast acquitted
themselves credtaby, and the performance upon
the whole, did credit to the management.
In obedience to an injunction issued by Judge
Donohue yesterday, at the petition OF the Juvenile
Deinqucnts' Society, there was performance
at the Metropolitan Theatre last night The papers
were served on Mr.. william Shapter at five
o'clock-too late to afford him an opportunity to
go to court and in ample time to have them
obcycd. This morning counsel for Mr.. Schapter
Will move TO have the Injunction suspended. SO
confident is the management OF the success OF the
motion that already IL has begun arrangements
for performance on Monday night, when en-
tire new company will render novel programme.

INDIGESTION.

This almost universal malady can
only be remedied by q dis continuance
of those habits that have generated the
discomfort. 1t is peculiarly import
ant TO restrict the quantity of food
taken at any one time, so as to keep
its assimilation within the limit of the
capacities and powers of the stomach.
From three to five hours ought to be
allowed for the digestion of a meal,
and one hour or more for the stomach
to rest in. Animal food is much cas-
ier Of digestion than vegetable, and a
much less quantity of it is needed for
nutrimemt, while it is not SO likely 10
generate acidity. This, with moder-
ate portion of thoroughly cooked veg
ctables, is probably the diet best suit
ed for such cases. Change Of air,
change Of scene, change society,
usually exert very beneficial effect
in this disorder. Country air and
frequent exercise on horseback are al
SO invaluable remedies.

The following is related by the Au-
gusta (AIaine) Journal:
GA young man in the town of Vas
salboro, in this county, WAS suffering
the last stages of consumptien. the
disease which had insiuaously and
stesl.hily brought him TO the verge of
the grave. For several weeks he had
been entirely prostrate and unable 10
speak, even to articulate syllable.
He became 50 oppressed for breath
that he compelled his attendants 10
raise the windows in his room, put
out the fires and resort to every means
to obtain fresh air. On the 18th inst.
the young man died Friendly hands
prepared the poor, emaciated body for
the burial but just as the attending
friends were arranging the remains
for the casket, appeared unmistakable
evidences of returning life in what
had seemed to them an inanimate
mass of clay, aud it was discovered
that the heart had begun again its
slow and measured palpitations, the
pulse throbbed, and the young man
arose from the death-shrouds, opened
his mouth and spoke in clear and dis
tinct words to those who stood ap-
pailed in the death chamber. There
was no hnskiness in his voice, he ap-
peared lively and active, said he felt
not the slightest pain, but, to use his
own language, 81 feel just as we'll as
ever did" AT his request the neigh
bors were all called in, who crowded
the house for hours, declaring that the
recovery of the man was equal to any
miracle recorded in the Scriptures.
He told this startled assemblage of his
friends and neighbors that, as he died,
all things seemed dark, but only for
an instant; his eyes suddenly opened
to new world, the real heaven,
which had been SO many times in his
thoughts and had given him so much
comfort in his last week of pain and
sorrow. He stood upon an eminence
which overlooked vast and beautiful
plain the magnificent plain stretched
farther than his enlarged vision
could penetrate, and he described
it in language which, to his mortal
auditors seemed extravagant in the
extreme. But the revivified life of
the young man was not to continue
long. Before night he again resigned
himself to death. The body was Kept
a reasonable length of time and buried
on Sunday last, the funeral being
largely attended"

A LADY was telling a friend from
the country of very grand party she
had given recently. "We had two
generals, one Judge, popular author,
and play writer" "Yes," chimed in
her wicked son, "and there was q
Deputy Sheriff, too, who said he
wanted to see dad, and they went out
before supper, and dad hasn't got
home yet" When that youth went to
school the next day with his head all
tied up, he told the boys he had a
dreadful toothache.

A CONSISTENT MULE.-In SOnoma
county, California, a few days ago, a
mule was drawing load of lime,
which, encouraged by brick shower,
went into vigorous combustion. The
wagon took fire, but the mule, resent
ing this demonstration in the vehicle,
and with view, perhaps, to investi-
gate it, Stood still. The driver sug-
gssted that Ire proceed, but the mule
put his fore feet to the front and laid
his ears to the rear, and maintained
his ground. In due time the fire on
the wagon singed the mule. Then it
scorched him. Then it blistcred him.
Then it roasted him. But it never

stake, and lie calcinaied in his tracks

all that was left of what had been

I baked them SO fast that the

little ditties Of the Western Spelling
