MISPLACED THEATRICAL JEALOUSY

A good story is being told says a Chicago
letter, at the expense of Billy Manning, q
negro minstrel, well-known in this country
For some time Manning has been playing
"end man" with Kelly & Icons Minstrels
while Luke Schoolcrnft oficiated in like
amusing capacity at the other end. The
other evening Clara Louisa Kellogg, of the
English Opera Troupe, occupied a private
box, and was an auditor of the entertain
ment. To add to her pleasure, the manage
ment placed large basket Of beautifu
flowers on pedestal in front of her box
Looking at this bouquet from the heauditorium
it appeared to be directly in front of Luke
Schoolcraft. Early in the evening the wife
of Billy Manning-she who once was MOlliC
Williams, an Irish actress of some LITTLE
note-entered the house and took her seal
in the dress circle. Hardly had she seated
herself, however, when she discovered the
basket of flowers. Without making any in
quiry into the matter, she at once made NJ
her mind that some admirer of Scho0lcrufl
bad sent him handsome bouquet. Hei
Irish blood was up, and she determined tina
Billy should have larger and better one
She rushed from the place, ran across thu
street to the Sherman House, purchased two
large baskets of flowers, and returned witt
them to the theatre. When the head ushel
handed the aoral offering to Manning, thu
yood-natured audience burst into applause
whereupon the comedian arose and thanked

rRu1x AND THE SHEPHERD pol

Not long since Swiss shepherd boy, only
fourteen years of age, was tending flock of
-heep among the hills in Canton Grisons.
when bear made raid upon the flock. and
seized two of the finest sheep. The cour
ageous little fellow attempted to drive tn,
hear OF by beating him with a stick, but
Bruin turned upon him, and he was forced
to run for lis life. The bear was gaining
rapidly upon him, and there was seemingly
no escape. Suddenly the lad bethought him
self of a narrow ravine, three hundred feet
deep, close by, across which he thought he
could leap, while he hoped the bear would
not notice it, and fall to the bottom. Dash
ing on, half wild with excitementan dread
he reached the edge of the precipice, the beai
close at his heels. The chasm was upward
of six feet wide, but the lad cleared it by q
desperate bound, and landed safely on the
opposite side. The bear, as he hoped, die
not see the rayine, and fell headong to the
bottom, where, bruised and bleeding, and
unable to rise, the shepherd lad found him.

Negotiating with Burglars.

A week ago last night the house OF
Mr. III. r. Croft, at No. AZ Wood street,
was entered by a burglar or burglars,
and some 5000 wotrh of jewelry stolen.
Each piece was marked, and as bills de
scriptive of each were Immediately got
ont it became matter of difficulty for
burglars to dispose of the property.
The next step was to open negotiation
with Mr.. Croft to see if he would not
be willing to lose Il small sum for the re-
covery of large one. A note was ac-
cordingly dropped to Mr.. Croft, the
burglar saying he was ready to make
a negotiation" If Mr.. Croft would
send him $500, he said, and agree to
ask no questions or attempt to discover
the thief, every piece of jewelry would
be returned. An answer was requested
through an advertisement in The paper.
Mr.. Grofi' concluded 10 open neeotia-
tions, but did not feel disposed to stand
the $500. He accordingly published a
personal notice to the effect that the
offer was too high The same day an
Othsr note came. The burglar was will
ing this time to take 5000, and wanted
an answer Immediately. 1t came, and
was to the effect that the bid was yet too
high. The third epistle was immedi-
ately received, and the price OF redemp
ton marked down to $50. Mr.. Croft
thought that he could stand the toll, and
accordingly published a notice to that
effect. The nextstep was to settle means
by which the transfer could be made.
Mr.. Croft received note telling him to
have the cash at home with him at night,
@l,o4 ,f4 no .xyorrlI
have a chance to dispose of it. Thurs
day night last Mr.. Croft heard n tap at
his window, and on throwing up the sash,
saw man below i'll the darkness who
asked him if he was "ready with the
stamps.
"The money is here" said Mr. Croft;
" come in and you shall have it"
81 guess l wont come In, said the
man, cor you might recognize me. The
jewelry is here all right, and viii give
it up when you hand out the money"
Mr.. Croft declined to accede to the
cheeky request, and told the man if he
would hand in the goods he should have
his money. The man at first declined TO
do so, and insisted that the cash should
be passed out first.
"Why can't you trust me as well as
for me to trust you 2" asked the burglar.
"Because 1 claim to be am honest
man, and you are a thief, said Mr..
Croft.
The answer seemed to throw new
light into the mind of the man outside,
and he finally decided to pass in the
goods, which he proceeded to do. MIR.
Croft took them in, looked them over
and found all there, and then passed the
roll of bills to the brassy thief. The
latter thereupon departed as silently as
he came. Mr. Croft thinks there were
two or three other men in the yard, al
though he saw only one.-CteUelaRd

Fighting for Their Lives.

A letter from Slohold, Pa, thus de
scribes what befell three young women
who went a-berrying: They were obliged
to cross the pond to reach the woods
Before entering the boat they saw some
thing in the distance swimming in the
water. Thinking it was dog, they paid
no further attention to it, but started on
their way across the pond, which is
about two miles wide. After rowing foi
several hundred yards, the girl who was
plotting the boat saw that what they first
thought to be a dog swimming in the
water was buck, which was coming di-
rectly toward them. Having u clumsy
pair OF oars, it was some time before the
boat could be turned, and then the deer
had reached to within a few yards OF
them. The girls became greatly terri
fed, for the deer was fast gaining on
them, and from the way it snorted and
plunged, they were satisfied it meant
mischief. While the one rowed with all
her might the other two padded, thus
somewhat increasing their speed; but
the deer was slowly gaining on them,
and knowing they could not reach the
shore before being overtalIen, they
ceased rowing to prepare for the inevi-
table battle. When the deer, snorting
and plunging, had reached TO within a
few feet of the boat, it stopped for a
moment. Then it made sudden plunge,
and as its head struck the side OF the
boat the brave girls brought down their
raised paddles upon it with such force
as TO drive ii under water. The girls
again raised their only weapons, and as
the head rose to the surface they again
brought their paddles to bear upon it
with the same result.
When the deer again raised from the
water it seemed to realize that this was
to be the death struggle, and its eyes
cleaned like balls of fire. 1t made a
lunge, and threw its forefeet over the
side of the boat near the oar locks.
This nearly capsized the clumsy craft,
and threw Maggie Jordan, the Oldest of
the three, into the water; but as she fell
she caught the edge of the boat, and
was hauled in by one of her companions.
Then the heroine at the oars, as she felt
the animals breath in her face, raised a
paddle and struck for her life, and as
the blow fell across the deer's head the
blood started from its nostrils, and it
sank back helpless and seemingly dead,
but really only stunned. The girls then
started for the shore, leaving the deer
struggling between life and death in the
water.
Reaching the shore, one of the girls
ran to small log cabin, an eighth of a
mile distant, in which lived n family by
the name of Berger, and told what had
occurred. Mr.. Berger seized his rifle
and vert to the pond, where he found
the wounded deer yet struggling in the
water few rods from the shore. He
rowed out to it, and seizing it by the
antlers, cut it's throat, and then towed its
body to the shore. The deer was the
largest ever killed in the neighborhood,
weighing 227 pounds.

HER CHOICE.
BY MRS. c. II. cREswELL.

Three lovers sweet Carlotta had:
The one banker, rich and grand,
The next held courts at his command,
The third was but farmer lad
The wealthy banker sued her long
Sued her with gold and diamonds bright;
The learned Judge was a man of might,
With sspient mind he .righted wrong.
The farmer lad had but his land
Whereon he toiled oft YEARLY;
And yet an honest heart had he
An humble heart at her command.
The banker daily pressed his suit;
The brave Judge, with his cOursers gay.
Drove her through parks III his coupe;
At eve young Eugene proflered fruit.
The maid appeared by none impressed
Still smiled her sweet, angelic smile.
And seemed unconscious all the while,;
None knew tho secret of her breast.
At length the farmer lad fell i'll;
He ne'er had breathed his passion deep
Smothered and hid he tried TO keep
The fame that burned unceasing still.
u III unto death, :" Carlotta's heart
Was stirred as neer twas moved before;
Her light feet strayed TO Eugcne's door
- Great Father, let him not depart!"
She clasped his hand, she kissed his brow
He turned his white face from the wall,
" The humble heart the best of all
My darling wilt thou love me MOVE"

A Pull-Back Incident.

The Norristown (Pa. Herald has this
A subscriber in the country sends us (,
graphic account of thrilling and ludi-
crous incident that happened in his
neighborhood last week. A fashionable
city girl came ont to visit his sisters.
She wore jaunty hat, coquettish spit
curl, and the pull-backedest sort of a
pull-back dress. On Thursday his two
sisters and the city girl meandered out
the shady lane to drink the beauties Of
the scenery and talk about the beaux.
Presently a loud believing was heard,
and mad bull was seen paving the dirt
at the other end of the lane, and coming
toward the ladies. The country girls,
admonishipg their friend TO run
quick" went over four-rail fence into
an adjoining field with the agility, If not
the grace, of circus actor. The city
damsel attempted to "run quick" but
it WAS a mournful failure. She was only
five yards from the fence, but the longest
step she could achieve was not over six
inches, and her frantic efforts to es-
cape the impending danger We're painful
to witness. The bull was coming nearer
and nearer, with mischief in his eye, and
his tail switching ominously. For a
minute or two the situation was such a.
would have filed the soul of n newspaper
reporter with Joy. But the fashionably-
dressed young lady proved equal to the
emergency. She just laid down and
rolled to the fence. and by an overwhelm-
ing effort, "busted" the pin-back ar
rangement, and went over the fence re-
gardless of etiquette, or anything else,

From the foregoing statement it will
be seen that immigration has this year
fallen one-third below that of the
corresponding period of last year. This
is caused by the bad accounts of the
times sent home to laboring classes by
their friends already in our midst. The
Irish and Germans have been deferred
to q great extent from coming here.
Italian immigration is at a stand-still.
On the other hand, there is fair influx
of Russians of the substantial class. One
party of these alone exchanged roubles
at Castle Garden the other day for $780,
600. AS prices stand in the West this
sum will purchase q great deal OF land.

and the bull passed on with sample of
her dress on his horns, muttering all the
while about the rainy spell, or orsomething
that way. That city girl says the next
time she visits the country she will wear
skirts expansive enough to permit her to
step over hay wagon, should necessity
or a cross bull require it.

HARRIS and JUDD, j. In Banco.
On defendants exceptions from October Term,
1874, 10 Mr.. Justice Harris judgment in refusing
new trial.
Justice JUDD delivered the opinion of the Court.
The ground upon which this motion is urged ap-
pears by the affidavit of the defendant to be "that
there was material evidence not cumulative which
has not been Offered owing to mistake misunder-
standing Of defendants former counsel the defend
ant not well understanding the English language,
aud falling to make his said counsel understand bis
instructions and wishes as to his evidence and wit
uesses"
In this case the allegation by q client that his
counsel did not understand him is offered as case
of accident misfortune Injustice" which il is
claimed the Court should relieve by granting new
trial in order that the testimony which was not Of
fered, because the counsel did not understand his
client, may now be put in.
1t is not necessary to review the grounds upon
which the Court will grant trials for, in this
case, we are not satisfied that there has been any
mistake misfortune OF accident suffered, or injus.
tice done The client alleges that his former cOun-
SCI did not understand him; there lie no affidavit
here on the part of the former counsel that there
honest and mutual mistake between them,
and that from want Of the clients knowledge Of
English he 1.-THE counse) failed TO understand him.
Further,-if the client had misgivings that he was
not making the counsel comprehend him, while Civ
ing his instructions, during the progress of the
trial, it circumbent upon him TO procure In
terpreter between them, and the neglect TO procure
Is negligence the consequences Of which will
not relieve.
We do not consider the affidavit OF the client alone
as sufficient proof Of such misunderstanding and
must deny the motion on this ground.
II, therefore, does not become necessary to con-
slider whether the testimony disclosed in the other
aidsvits is material and necessary and not cumula
tive for it is not conended that it is newly discov
cred, and it is apparently conceded that il avail
able, and could have been produced at the former
trial had the counsel understood his client.
motion is also made in arrest of judgment on
the ground that the verdict is defective in FORM
that no Judgment can be pronounced upon II. The
verdict in favor Of the plaintiff for the sum Of
S475 co. and TIE note Of $780, which must mean
the note Of 500 upon which testimony had been
taken before the Jury, and which was decided by
them to be the property of the plaintiff. We do
not consider such a verdict defective.
