bag of onions, knocking him into the
canal. When Grove rejoined him he
asked his companion who it was that
had been standing there. Grove replied
he did not know, but he was gone.

gatta at Lynchburg on last Saturday be-
tween University of Va. four and the
Tobacco City of Lynchburg four, over
mile course, was very interesting and
was witnessed by about five thousand
persons. Many ladies were present wear
ing the colors of the contestants. The
Tobacco City led from the start with q
strong stroke of thirty -five-the Univer-
sity crew rowing about the same stroke.
At the half-mile stake the latter took
the lead, but was soon deprived of it,,
and at the mile and turning. stake the
Tobacco City had lead of half length,
gradually increasing its lead to some
twenty-five or thirty lengths, coming

The ST. LOUIS CHRISTIAN ADvO-
CATE.-The Methodists of Missouri have
much to be proud Of, but none of their
enterprises exceed in value the work be-
ing done by their Church organ in this
city, the st. Louis Christian Advocate.
For many years, under the editorial con-
troll of Rev. D. r. M'Anally, it has been
steadily growing in popularity, and with
Logan D. Cameron as business manager,
has long been known as the most enter
prising weekly in the West, having q
larger circulation in the Western and
Southern States than any paper issued
by the Methodist Church, South. For
some weeks it has been publishing let
tiers from clergyman who is now travel
ing in Asia with Bishop Marvin, and its
enterprise is still further exhibited by
the proposed issue ola city edition which
shall contain local news of interest, and
note all the religious intelligence of the
city. Still another sign of appreciation
of the wants of the public is shown by
its publication, in the last issue, of a
map of the seat of war in Europe, copied
from the Globe Democrat. This will be
followed by others as the war progresses,
and no pains will be spared either by
the editor or the manager to keep the
ADVOCATE where it now is, in the front
rank of journalism.-S. Louis GLOBE

The Black Hills highwaymen are
still busy. The coach from Deadwood
was stopped Monday night by road
agents near Cheyenne river. The pas
sengers, five in number, were robbed of
about 800 in money, watches, &c.
The treasure-box was riveted to the
ironwork of the coach, and the robbers,
after working at it over an hour, left
without succeeding In opening or remov-
ing it.
Still another highway robbery in the
Black Hills route is reported. The
stage from Deadwood was stopped
Wednesday night near the Cheyenne
river, and two treasure boxes carried off
by the highwaymen. The passengers
were not molested. The robbers sent
word by the driver to the managers of
the stage-line to send them pair of
gold-weighing scales, as dividing dust
with spoon was not always satisfacto-
ry. A detachment of twenty cavalry,
under Lieutenant Reynolds, left Fort
Laramie on the 26th instant in search
of the robbers.

BEN DE BAR.
The Illness and Loss Of Memory OF
A Well known AcIOr-A Very
sad Case,

The veteran actor and theatrical man
ager, Ben de Bar, is suffering from a sing
ular attack Of illness, which threatens TO
suddenly end an active and prosperous
life. Last season, which was an unfor-
tunate one for actors and managers gen
orally, was a disastrous one for Mr. DE
Bar, who is the owner and manager Of
a threatre in st. Louis. Stars failed to
draw, people would not attend good rep
reservations, and in addition to these
troubles can domestic sorrows. Mr. DE
Bar was engaged travelling throughout
the country as star, playing in Shakes
perean and other parts. The strain upon
his mind began to tell, and suddenly we'll
remembered plays would be forgotten,
passages he formerly had by long prac-
tice particularly well learned could not
be recollected, and on several occasions
he came upon the stage to discover that
he could not recall the language Of the
character he was to assume. The conse-
quence was that his engagements had to
be given up. Once, when he tried u
support Lolita in Musette, in his OWE
theatre in st. Louis, he found himseii
unable to do so, much to his own and
the little lady's disappointment. Later
Mr.. De Bar lost the names Of people and
of places. lie could not recall the names
of his most intimate friends nor mention
the best known stars. lie could not tell
even the names of large cities, his
family name was frequently forgotten,
and he could not recolleCt his own short
Christian name of Ben. He placed
himself under medical care, and an ex
animation resulted in the declaration
that he was sound in mind, but needed
rest and relaxation. Mr.. John =. Nor
ton was theregpOn made manager for
the time being, until Mr. De Bar should
| have regained his health. Stars were
engaged for the coming st. Louis season,
| but Mr.. De Bar could remember only
| their faces, not their names.
| A short time ago Mr.. De Bar came
to New York, and, by the advice Of many
friends, placed himself under the care Of
| DR.. Hammond, the well known physician.
1t is now said that examination proves
that the actor is beyond hope of recovery,
and may be said to have hidden adieu
| TO the public, for whom he has so long
and so ably catered. The disease is said
to be softening of the brain, the muscles
of the right side of the body being weak
ened greatly. There il an extravasa-
ton Of mucus from ears and the nose,
the memory is almost entirely gone and
the pupils of the eyes dilated. Already
there has been an attack Of paralysis and
there is every probability that another
may soon ensue. To the ordinary OBJ
server the unfortunate gentleman'S man
ner remains almost the same as of old.
He behaves and talks quietly and natu-
rally, dwelling principally upon his
strange transformation. Whatever top
10 he commences on he gradually drifts
back into telling how he became affected
and the results.-N. Y. Herald.

and continuously to pat excellence in his
work, to do what he had to do with such
enthusiasm and good taste, that 1t gradu-

rank to desire his attendance when they

artistic STANDARD in the making of ladies
gowns, as earnestly aud lovingly as If he
were a painter painting to obtain the
Iaurel-wreath of glory in that fairy like
art, and see his pictures hung upon the

how he has succeeded. When he left the
house where he was employed so long,
