Good Revolver.
Another raid by sneaks. who some
times aspire to the dignity of burglars,
has commenced in our city. On Satur.
day night, or rather Sunday morning
about % O'Clock, the residence of
John Schworm, on Union street, near
Raur & Keister's Wagon Factory, was
entered by man, who got into tho
house by prying up a window. Mrs.
Schworm, being wakened by some
noise, disturbed the dreams of Mr.
Schworm, and reused him up, but the
sneak, in the meantime, took the
alarm, taking with him gold watch
belonging to Mr.. Schworm, but being
in a great hurry, he carelessly neglect
ed to carry OIL some change which
was in the Same vest. A valuable
watch dog belonging to the house was
made way with the same night, "a he
has not been seen since.
There Is but one way to deal with

force against force. They are. in nine
cases out of ten. too lazy to work !;

PERSONAL.
CLARA NORRIS,

. This lady is At present the most interesting
| actress on tho stage. The effort to take the
measure Of her genius seems to have at length
been successful. Miss Morris has shown her
sell to be unequaled In what arc Anown a.
/ "emotionAl parts" She has power Of pathos,
Al exquisite sensibility, reaistleas magnetism,
in parts which arc purely physical. Ii certain
rorns Of misery and suffering, and acute sym
pathy with the sentiments aud anguish Of the
ideal. abe seeks to ambody Miaa Morris ia a g1eat
acEgess-the greatest on tho American stage.
She has not been content With this clas!,
OF - plays, however, ,becxuse, perhaps,
chs had not measured her strength
mannnr suitable to her gifts OF mental and
physical strength. sha' ondeavored to reduce
the vague and tremendous characters Of Shak-

them In the garments Of the street and nut
them On leval with our acluaintaucos- THIS

misfortune she was really too Ill TO play any
thing, and only By. = strong exortion ot will did
she walk through. the part. Such performance
nothing to criticise. +. But she has reviewed
in New York, snd, IS :. ali the
critics unite in condemning her peffornance.-
some with kindness, moderation, discreticn and
emphasis, and others with undlsguised contamnt,
lit is fair to regard the effort as failure. She
was supported BY Mr.. Rignold, who /. unmerci-
fully ridiculed. The most thoughttul of the
criticisms, aud, the whole, the fairest, is that
Of the Tribune; but that concludes WITH the re-
mark that Miss Morris Lady Macbeth is "a ini-
dn and Wire woven representation" The Ford
finds inher treatment OF the character = an indi-

Herr Johann Strauss eldest son OF the famed
dance composer, has met with signal SUCCESS at
tho Renaissance, in Paris. With. his three-aot
opera bouffe, : Ii Reins indigo It was orig
lnAlly. produced In Vienna some four or five
yeara since, aud Herr Strauss subsequently Was
fortunate with three other comic operaa. Of
which 'Ca9liostro was the last. It seems that
it was Ii. Onenbach who advised Herr Strauss to
compose operas, being struck with tho vein Of
melody shown In his dance compositions 'Ia-
dgo, IN Vienna, had the supplementary title Of
the FORTY Thieves, but the story had no refer
~enca to Ali Baba. The libretto does not aid the
composer much; it has some resemblance to the
'ltalians in Algeri' Of Rossin1. The music,
however, quite delighted tho Psrisians,. rho GU

WHAT at first looked like a veritab!e boz
nanza was discovered recently in the Missou-
ri state house. The state treasurer found in
his vaults several packages of bonds of the
value oil some millions. How they came there
and to whom they belonged was a mystery.
The treasurer reported his discovery to tb.
legislature, and committee was amounted
to look into the affair. Investigation brought
to light the fact that some years ago six per
cent bonds of the state were substituted for
the the same amount in seven per cents.
The retired bonds were placed, uncarceled
and unmarked, in the state vaults, where
they were forgotten. 1t is to be hoped that
carelessness like this is not common with
state treasurers.
