AM EN- MENT,S.
CHARLOTTE. THOMPSON.

This evening, Miss Charlotte Thompson,
assisted by the Walnut street Theatre Com
pay, will present "Jane Eyre" at the Opera
House, this evening. As "Jane Eyre"
Miss Thompson has no equal in this coun-
try. Her acting is natural, graceful and
easy. She does not hurl herself in the
play. but glides into her part as naturally
as though the iron had passed into her very
soul.
The play, with such a caste, should
fill the Opera House, and the prospect for
large house is fiattering. OF Miss Thomp-
son, the Herald speaks thus:
Mis- Charlotte Thompson is young, of
charming presence, and gifted by nature
with rare talent. She is most undoubtedly
In the foremost ranks of the artistic world.
There are but few, If any, who have all the
advantages which Miss Thomson possesses.
Her manner is natural, and the absence of
state conventionality is not the least charm
of her presentations. Her action is free and
graceful, and she possesses depth of sen.
timent and passionate energy which gives a
vivid reality of every emotion. At times
she has vivacity and archness, and all tie
buoyant and electric spirit of youth and
health. From the first scene to IL last.
the character of "Jane Eyre" is sustained
with force and fidelity to nature which ir
resistibly affected her auditors, and enlisted
all their sympathies. When Miss Thomp-
sons abilities have scope, she portrays nat
urally, grandly, eloquently and with pas
slonate pathos that seems to spring right up
from her heart. She treats her characters
with the consummate skill of an intellectual
artist, and. gives to all the phases of the
character an individuality rarely seen.

JOTTLNGS ABOUT ZOWN

Saturday night the mules had terrible
time with the street cars. The cars were
crowded and as the animals galloped off a
passenger on one of them suggested that
they were shaking up the oats at the depot
and the mules smelt 'em, hence the rapid
transit.
AS she gathered him up under her arms
on Saturday, at the corner of Orange and
Sth streets, while he was making haul on
five marbles in the ring, he exclaimed, Gle

whole of the old Christmas tree out on me

"What's that thing up thar" said girl
yesterday to her beau as she gazed at the
tower on the top Of the town hall. "That''
said he, biting his nails and scratching his
head. "That is monument" "Well,"
she said, sit is the first monument l ever
saw with stove pipe sticking out the back
end"
A Wilmington girl when you tell her a
piece of startling news, will throw her
h 'ad back until the frizzes stand up like I
picket fence and exclaim, ooh Dew Tell"
But if you tell her something pleasing, for
instance propose to her, she will say, "Shoot
the other and tickle me with more of the
last"
She went into store on Market street
Saturday, examined every pair of striped
stockings they had, bursted two or three
pair of kid gloves trying them on, pro-
voked the clerk who had his hair parted in
the middle, beyond endurance, accidentally
sat on twenty dollar bonnet, and after ali
that bought five cents worth of tape which
she ordered to be sent home. The clerk

"You have been drinking, my dear," said
a Wilmington woman to her husband.
"Me," said he, Strengthening himself into a
Forrestonian attitude and holding aloft the
fork impaled turkey leg upon, exclaimed,
Madam, swear by this trenchant blade
and the corpse of this limb, that not one
drop of the crooked article has passed NV
lips. Yea, madam, its the bay rum upon
my hair you SMELL" She shifted the air and
pronounced the statement as correct,

Kneeland died by accident or suicide in the
spring of 1875, on the 23rd of May last. A
short time before his death he was married to
a young woman named Laura Young. The
marriage was kept secret because 1t seemed
Miss Young was of questionable character,
while Kneeland was q member of one of
our most prominent families. He made a
will before marriage, an disposed of his
real property to the amount of 900 in
favor of his three sisters. After his death
the widow contested the will and claimed
all the property left by the deceased. The
matter was argued before Probate Court in
November. Miss Young proved undoubted-
ly that she was the legal wife of the de-
ceased Kneeland but the decision ofthe court
against her, resting on the ground that
marriage alone does not revoke will. The
decision created sensation here.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Jan. 9.-The
Assembly meets in this city on Monday.
All the members but one, the gentleman
from Toole county, are Mormons. 1t is
thought that the general condemnation of
Polygamy in the Presidents message and
newspapers may induce the Assembly to
pass q law aboiishin, the practice. The
Mormon journals still defend plural mar
riage as religious right but
It Is pretty generally believed here that
Congress will legislate during the present
session to suppress polygamy. The opinion
prevails that the Utah Legislature, under
the force of circumstances, will take the
initiative steps to that end.
