Frank Tranye Mases a Double Shot.

A portion of the performance at
Woods Theater Satu.d day afternoon
was not announced in the bills, and
there is the best reason for believing
that it would have been better if the
performance in question had not taken
place. During the past week it has
been part OF the programme for Mr.
Frank Frayne to perform little of the
William Tell business by shooting
an apple placed on the top OF his wife
head. TO perform this feat Mrs
Erayne takes her position at the front
of the stage, in the center of a line be
tween the two proscenium boxes Mr..
Frayne stands at one of The boxes,
with his back to his wife, and dis
charges the gun over his shoulder
The ball always goes with unerring
aim through the heart of the apple, and
is flattened against an iron plate about
two feet square, suspended from the
proscenium box on the opposite side Of
the stage.
Most people who have witnessed this
remarkably daring feat are inclined to
believe there is some trickery about it.
and that in reality there is no bullet
fired from the weapon. All doubt on
this point was removed at the matinee
performance yesterday afternoon. The
''apple business was successfully ac-
complished by Mr.. Frayne, but the
bullet did not ''hatten out as intended.
1t struck the iron plate all right, but
glanced off and entered the foot of Mr.
Charles Clifton, an employee at the
theater, making terrible wound. The
ball entered Mr.. Clifton's foot on the
inside, just forward of the instep, and
then passed through the ankle bone,
coming out at the heel. : Cincinnati

WILL TIE SHADOWS BE LIFTED.

Will the shadow be lifted tomorrow?
Does the sun ever shine in vain?
Aud the clouds that are loud in their
SORROW,
Win they ever cease weaping again?
Will the fields e'er put on their greenness.
And the flowers bloom sweet as before?
will the sky, III its bluest sereneness,
Look smilinsly on us once more?
Will the shadows be lifted tomorrow
From my heart, in its grief storm rent?
viii Hope. The kind soother OF sorrow,
With her bow oil promise be sent?
Will the waves Of life's troubled fountains
Ever cease their ebb and flow?
Win the shadows that dark my pathway
Be scattered like phantoms of woe?
Ali yes, win the shadows be lifted
Frem hiii-top, and valley, and plain;
Anliiie giving sunshine AM glatlness
1eeplenish the dread earth again;
And then will the weeping of nature
Be hushed by a joy-giving ray.
And the beauty of sunset az ever
Be lovliest hour OF the day.
Aht yes, will the shaloYs be lifted
From my pathway. SO drcary and lone,
And the dark, dun clouds will be rif,ed,
And The winds cease their ritiless moan,
Though walk amid darkness and shadows
One promise anfailing is mine;

About me one love win entwinc.

"Now is the Accepted Time"

There are no promises in the Bible
for to morrow. Now is the time for
repentance. There is no safety, no
security, no wisdom in postponing the
acceptance of the Savior. These are
commonplace remarks; but they are no
more commonplace than death, which
knocks with equal confidence at every
door; no more trlte than death sickness.
which will some day weaken the body
and obscure the mind of each one who
reads this paragraph. TO all who are
mortal and who have not made their
peace with God, there is nothing of
more Importance, of more living in,
terest, than the fact that God will hear
and forgive to-day, but makes no
promises for tomorrow. To-day is
the day of salvation.

A West Hill minister picked up a
frozen wasp on the sidewalk recently,
and with a view to advancing the sci
ence, he carried it into the house and
held it by the tail while he warmed its
ears over lamp chimney. Ei' obj It
was to see if wasps troze to death CT
merely lie dormant during the winter
He is of the opinion that they merely
lie dormant ana the dormanest kind at
that, and when they revive, he says,the
tail thaws out first, for while this one s
head, right over the lamp, was so stiff
and cold that 1T could not wink its probe
worked with such inconceivable rapid
ty that the minister could not gasp fast
enough TO keep with it. He threw Il e
vicious thing down the lamp chimney,
and said he did not want anything1nore
to do with dormant wasp, at which
his wife burst into tears and asked how
he, minister of the gospel, could use
such language, right before the chil~
dren too.

am sorry the House defeated the
bill proposing to make two counties out
Of New Castle county. Friends in Kent
and Sussex, retrace your steps; recon
slider the bill or introduce new one !;
for the time Of your trifling with the
rights Of the masses Of New Castle
county has passed! Do you suppose
New Castle county will tamely submit
longer to your tyranny, and let you, the
minority, tar us to build your railroads,
whilst you purposely refuse us repre-
seDtation so that you may have less op-
position in SIC L,g.-lltnre? As t oui
three Members from this county who
voted with you against their own couf-
ty's rights, I am sorry for these men /;
they were clever men and I respected
them highly, but by that vote they have
politically assassinated themselves in
this county Never e.n they be elected
again if they should aspire to an olec-
tion. And mind, it that bill making
two counties ont OF New Castle county
is not reconsidered and passed, q new
era in Delaware State politics will be
inaugurated that will sweep the popular
vote OF the State for tho rights OF the
masses and the will Of the maj ority.
