A large audience greeted the perform
ers last night, in Lecocq's opera bouffe,
GiroAe-G irofa, which was performed for
the second time by the Julia Mathews
English Comic Opera Company. Miss
Julia Mathews again sang with skill, and
was repeatedly encored Her voice is
fresh, and "GiroAe.G iroAe" is sung by her
with much effect. Mr.. Hall, as "Bolero,"
won the admiration Of the house, and
Mr.. Forests "Marasquin" was quite ac-
ceptable. This evening and Wednesday
O~fenbach's Grand Duchess, with Miss
Mathews in the title role. The Grand
Duchess was performed at the Convent
Garden Theater, in London, over two
hundred nights. The effect Of The piece
is greatly heightened by the manner in
which il is mounted and the appropriate
costumes. Miss Mathews reputation
in hat role has long preceded her in
New Orleans, and we would advise all
who desire to witness Legitimate opera
boufe to attend her performances of LA
Grand Duchess" The cast in the prin-
cipal parts embraces the following
artists: Grand Duchess" Miss Julia
Mathews; Wanda" Miss Emily Wise

INC WoodWard Propositlon.

In the County Court on yesterday the
special committee composed of magis-
trates of the Court and leading citizens.
jointly and unanimously presented a
report adverse to the acceptance of the
proposition made by ex.Coanty Trustee
Woodward as a settlement Of indebted
ness to the county by defaleations in the
County Trustees Office, The PROPOSE
ton rejected by the committee was as
follows: Mr.. Woodward offered the
county the ninety-fve acres Of ground
known as the Fair Grounds on the
Charleston railroad, and valued by him
at $50, 900, but there was a lien Of $4,000
hanging over the property which the
county should assume to pay within
twelve months.
The real estate agents who were before
the committee valued the tract OF land
v~ariously at prices ranging from FIVE
thousand to twenty thousand dollars, ex
elusive Of the three thousand dollar lien.
Tho acceptance of the proposition was
pressed upon the County Court by ex-
Governor Harris and Judge Carmack,
counsel of Mr.. Woodward, and its accept
aace was resisted by County Attorney
Taylor, who insisted that the County
Court had no power to enter into such a
compromise, and il the court did so it
amounted to nothing in a financial point
Of view, but it would embarrass the &C.
ton Of the Criminal Court wherein in-
dictments had been found against Mr.,
Woodward for embezzlement.
1t was also stated that Mr.. Wood
wards indebtedness to tbs county
amounted to $4,000 on county warrants
reissued and not Cancelled, and also s45,-
900 in money indebteduess-a total Of
about $95, 900.
After several hours of general discus
sion, the County Court, by a vote, re-
committed the proposition to the com
mittee with instructions to report to the
next term Of Court, but the committee,
men stated that their report for rejec
ton of the proposition was unanimous
and it was nonsense 10 ask them to AGAR
consider the matter.

Individual Inequalities.

All different individuals Of every spe-
cies, however like they may be in their
first stages Of life, become in the further
course of their existence less like to one
another. They deviate from one another
in more or less important peculiarities,
and this is a natural c%onsequence of the
different conditions under which the in
dividuals live. There are no two single
individuals of any species which can
complete their life under exactly the
same external circumstances. The vital
conditions Of nutrition, Of moisture, air,
light; further, the vital conditions of
society, the nter-relations with surround
ing individuals of the same or other spe-
cies, are different in every individual
being; and this difference first affects
the functions, and later change the form
of every individual organism. If the
children of a human family show, v
at the beginning, certain individual in
equalities which we may consider as the
consequence of individual (iudirect)
adaptation, they will appear still more
different at a later period Of life when
each child has passed through different
experiences, and has adapted itself to
different conditions oflife. The original
difference of the individual processes of
development evidently becomes greater
the longer life lasts and the more various
the external conditions which influence
the separate individuals. This may be
demonstrated in the simplest n Of
man. as well as in domestic and c%ultiva-
ted plants, in which the vital conditions
may be arbitrarily modified. Two broth
ers, of whom one is brought up as a
workman, and the other as a priest, de-
velop quite differently in body as wella
mind; in like manner, two dogs Of one
and the same birth, of which one is
trained as a sporting dog and the other
chained up as a watch dog. The same
observation may also readily be made as
to organic individuals in a natural state.
If for instance, one carefully compares
all the trees in a fir or beech forest, which
consists of trees Of a single species, one
finds that among all the hundreds or
thousands of trees, there are not two in
dividual trees completely agreeing in
size of trunk and other parts, in the
number of branches, leaves, etc, Every
where we find individual inequality,
which, in part at least, are merely the
consequences of the different conditions
Of life under which the trees have de-
veloped. It is true we can never say
with certainty how much OF this dissiml-
larity in all the individual Of every spe-
cies may have originally been caused by
indirect individual adaptation, and how
much of it acquired under the influence
of direct or universal adaptation. =

/ will mention, on the authority of a
retired merchant, another incident that
shows A. I Stewards character TO BE-
marked by vindictiveness and discredit-
able acts, Some years ago he had in his
employ a young nan named SHELTERED,
Ut my memory serves me- who was at
the head Of the buying department in
one line of goods. This young man was
a model business man, who became pom
ular with jobbers and importers with
whom he came in contact. Knowing
that his pittance vas but $500, and that
he divided this with a widowed mother
and orphaned children, a prominent
merchant interested himselfin the Young
mans behalf, and secured him a place
at 1900 advance on the salary Stewart
paid him. This was in November. The
young man at once notified Mr.. Stewart
that On the following January he would
quit his service.
What exclaimed the grasping task
mater. Leave my service2 You
shan't."
Bat Ihave made other arrangements,
Mr.. Stewart
u tell you you shall not leave"
But here / got only $500 per year,
and have closed at 50, 400 per year"
i don't care You shall not leave.
l will increase your salary to 5000 per
year"
The young man insisted that he would
not stay, and notified the s~hop-keeper to
prepare to fill his place. Nothing more
was said, and in the following January
he entered the employ of the new firm.
who sent him to Europe as their buyer.
Some months after his return, one Of
Stewards buyers called at the store
where SHELTERED was employed and recog-
nized him He reported to Stewart the
disco 7ery of Shefferd's whereabouts. A
day Or so afterwards Stewart n~ervouslv
entered the office, and, approaching one
of the firm "a polite, but excitable
Frenchman-asked if the young man
was in their employ.
Yes, said the merchant, and what
ofit2"
Il want you to discharge him" was
Stewart answer.
And esf we does not deeschsrge him,
Monsieur Stewart, what you do, Ell?
You will not purchase any more goods
from US, ehl"
Yes; that is just it" was Stewart's
cool reply.
"Sacrel" exclaimed the Frenchman.
Il tells you just one leetle fact. We will
not part with re man, ever to get yon as
ze' customaire. Now, Meester Stewart,
you get down re stair just so quick you
can, or Ply tam | help you out"
Mr.. Stewart left ehagrined and indig-
nant, and withdrew his custom from the
house. The young man was not dis
charged, and proved worthy of the con-
6dence reposed in him. This incident
is vouched for by an old merchant, who
secured the position for Sheferd, as
strictly correct, and he declares that on
one occasion he had to threaten Stewart
with legal procedure to compel him to
pay a bill Of $685. 600 long overdue, and
in consequence Stewart refrained from
patronizing his house until about ten
years after-in 1861 when they were
the only ines who had the line of goods
for which had an order to fill.

ABOUT HANNA.

Hanna didn't even get "wLat was
left"
Poor, sour, sullen Hanna! He must
resort TO misrepresentation in order to
keep bis spirits up. He says that Prescott
ran $500 behind his ticket, while the
fact is be only ran behind little over
700. Poor, boiling Hanna.
Hanna says that IN 1874 we made a
fight against the nomination of Col.
Phillips-a Saline county man. Yes,
we did. But we, with other opponents
of Col. Phillips, had decided to support
Judge Prescott-anotber Saline county
man-for the same position. And we
all support Col. sPhillips after he was
nominated.
Hanna says Sampson is sore over his
defeat lie is mistaken. 1t is Hanna
contemplating with sore eyes how little
influence his great Herald had in the
Judicial fight. He had filled his paper
with low abuse of Judge Prescott for
month or so, just through spite work,
and it had such little effect that he must
rave and rant at somebody's expense;
so hepitches into Sampson. Poor, sour,
sullen, boiling Hanna.
There we're 3l5 votes cast against NJ.
ID. Sampson in Saline county. There
are half dozen zen who claim to
have defeated Sampson. Buell., the dis
tinguished chairman of the county COM
misssoners, claims to have influenced
hundred votes or so against him. Jaw
Bone must have done nearly as much.
Sam Long and /. +. Clark must have
influenced at least one hundred votes
each. One or two others make Just as
big claims. Now where does the Her.
aids influence come in!
Hanna lays great stress on the fact
that Sampson has been an unsuccessful
candidate for the House twice and the
Senate oEcc. Greater and better men
than either Hanna or Sampson, have
been defeated for Office. Even Samp-
son, who had been an unsuccessful. candi.
date so many times, triumphantly car
ried Saline county against Hanna for
the position of State Senator. Even the
great and good Hanna has been an un-
successful candidate for some position
county, state or federal-tor the last ten
wears. He is now a candidate for State
Printer-and will again be unsuccessful.
A straight Republican Legislature will
noielect bolter.
