THE PERFORMANCE LAST EVEN.
INC

"Leah' al performed last evening
to a tolerably fair house, but the at
tendance was not commensurate with
the merits of the performance. We
have seen the play put upon the stage
in far worse shape in more %pretentious
theaters, and rendered with less effect
by larger companies under more adj
vantageous circumstances than attend
ed its rendition by the Clayton Troupe
last evening. Zoe Clayton, in
the title role evinced a conception of
the character of the Jewish heroine
" hich WI have seldom seer surpassed,
and her acting Throughout the piece in
Dictated the most careful and attentive
study combined with a liberal share of
natural talents and more than ordin-
airy Evolutionary powers. The last
scene in the second act was particular
ly we'll rendered, especially the curse,
which was pronounced with such
effect as to procure for the
lady a call before the curtain ut
the close Of the act, a compliment
rarely bestowed upon any actor by an
Eureka audience, and we are conf
dent that n large majority Of those in
attendance last evening conincide with
us in the opinion that Miss Gayton's
"Leah !" was the finest piece of acting
ever witnessed in this town. Space
will not permit us to mention the other
characters further than to state that
they were generally we'll rendered and
to the apparent satisfaction OF the
audience. The performance ended
with the time-honored farce of ssThe
Omnibus" which produced lots of fun
and sent the people home in good
humor. The manager made a mis-
take in the programme for the first
evening in presenting a play of but
little interest, and which was not OF a
character to display the talent Of the
members Of the company, but the
merits Of the troupe will doubtless rec
tify the error, and we predict for them
a successful and profitable season. For
this evening is announced 1.-THE Lady
of Lyons" and the screaming farce Of
the "Swiss Cottage.o

CORPUS CHRISTI.

To day is Corpus Christi, a festival
of the Roman Catholic Church, cele-
brated on the Thursday after the octave
of Whitsunday, and is also called the
Feast Of God. 1t is derived from the
article which teaches that the humani-
ty of the Savior is really and substan-
tally present i N the hest consecrated at
mass and preserved in the tabernacle
upon the Catholic altar. The institu-
tim of the sacrament was always cele-
brated with solemn thanksgiving on
Maundy Thursday in the Holy week;
but that time being mostly taken up
with the commemoration of the sor-
rows and sutferinss of the passion, a
solemn festival was established
by the zeal of pious persons, to cele-
brate this mystery: Ii was first or
dered to he celebrated In a synod held
at Liege, 1916. Pope Urban, in 1854,
commanded it 10 he observed by the
whole church with a solemnity equal
to the four grea, festivals of the year.
The bull of the Pope vas confirmed by
many of his predecessors, especially
by Pope Clement ", in the General
Council of Nienne, in France, i'll the
year 1911.

The winter Life of the Bear.

The Popular Science Monthly says:
zone of the most curious charac-
teristics of the bear is in its habits
of alternating through the winter.
During the autumn it becomes very
fat, and about the end of October,
completing its winter house, ceases
feeding for the year A remarkable
phenomenon then takes place in the
animals digestive organs. The stom-
ach, no longer supplied with food,
contracts into a very small space. a
mechanical obstruction called the
"tappen," composed Of fne leaves,
or other extraneous substances blocks
the alimentary canal, and prevents
the outward passage Of any matter.
The bear continues in his den until
the middle of April, in a dull letharg-
ic condition. If discovered and kill
ed at any time in this period, it is
found to be as fat as at the begin
ming. 1t is said, however, that, if il
loses its 'tappen" before the end OF
its Information, it Immediately be-
comes extremely thin. During the
Information the bear gains a new
skin upon the balls of his feet, and
during the same time also, the female
brings forth her young, from two to
four in number. The latter act oc'
ours generally from the middle OF
January to the middle of February.
The next pairing season occurs IL
the summer, from June to September
The period of CESSATION is about seven
months, and the newly born cubs are
scarcely larger than puppies"

Seven Metals.

In the discovery Of metals men
first asserted their mastery over ma
ture; vet the discovery is still pro-
crossing. Before the fifteenth CEN
fury only seven were positively
known. They were each held sacred
among the ancients to some ruling
deity, Gold-indestructible mallea-
bic, the richest cOloring, the most
precious of decorations-was eonse-
Grated to Jupiter, or the sun, and had
already assumed the supremacy
which it has never lost. 1t was coin
ed into the heavy diaries of Persia
and the aureus Of imperial Rome. 1t
was used to gid temples and sta
tutes, was wrought into rich jewelry
and woven in delicate threads that
enlivened the Powered stuffs of Baby
Ion.
Gold mines and gold bearing
streams were found in Arabia, Syria,
Greece, Italy and Spain, and the pur-
suit OF the precious metal was car
ried on with various success bv count
less throEgs Of miners. The richest
mines, at least in later ages, were
those of Spain; and the euormops
productiveness of the Spanish soil
was slowly exhausted by the success
sive labors Of the Carthaginians and
the Romans. So successful was their
industry that but little gold or silver
can be found in a territory where the
precious metal once lay scattered in
boundless profusion on the surface of
the earth.
Silver ranked next to gold, and
