Rssslssttons of Respect to ths Kensery Of
Of Mr.. Gssett.

At meeting of the students of Rugby
Academy, at 10 o'clock yesterday, the
death OF Prof. James W. SWEET, late teach
er in this School, was announced by DR..
Murphy. Eddie H. Eckel offered the fol-
lowing resolutions, which we're unanimously
adopted by the students. 5.
Whereas, 1t has pleased our Father In
Heaven, in His wise Providence, to remove
from among us our beloved instructor and
friend, Mr.. James W. SWEET, late Of Fair
fax, Vermont;
And Whereas, We the students of Rugby
Academy, desire to express our deep sorrow
at this event, therefore
Resolved, That we, at this time, desiring
to express our gratitude for bis services, do
take this opportunity and method Of giving
our testimony to his efficiency, kindness and
fidelity AZ teacher, friend and counselor.
Resolved, That in respect to bis memory
we request the Principal to close the Acad-
emy for the remainder of this day. 'F '
Resolved, That copy Of these resolu-
tions be sent by the Principal to the family
of the deceased, with the assurance Of our
sympathy in their great afaictton.

AnstsseHsents,

At the Grand Opera House, on Saturday
evening, = new play, entitled "Parted" by
9. W. Tayleure, will hold the boards. Tho
author is the manager of the company, and
Mrs. F. 8. Chanfrau is the star. The COM
pany is one Of superior excellence, en-
bracing some Of the best stock actors of the
large cities Mr.. Frank Mordaunt, who has
played in our theatre on former occasions,
is one of the number. The New York
"Sunday Mercury" has the following notice
of this beautiful and accomplished actress:
"Genius and real worth are distinguished
by modesty, and the quiet advent of Mrs.
Henrietta Chanfrau, with the unostentatious
presentation of Mr.. Clifton W. Tayleure's
drama of "Parted" at the Eagle Theatre
on the 5th, denoted the possession of these
qualities by both actress and author. It
is evident that they had ignored the pre-
liminary fustian of newspaper interviews,
preferring to abide by the verdict of the
practical public. The attendance was good
and fashionable, the applause frequent and
earnest, and che pleasure impaired mani
fest. Mrs. Chanfrsu combines beauty,
talent and experience, and Is justly regarded
as an ornament to tho American Stage.
Mr.. Tayleure's play deals entirely with
phases of social life peculiar to this coun-
try. 1t is brilliant in dialogue, admirably
constructed, and with the action and inter-
est we'll sustained. Out of a simple story
Mr.. Tayleure has woven = remarkably
strong drama full of good parts, and which
enabled Mrs. Chanfrau as the heroine to
display quality of acting long strange to
the New York stage" ~

RuIes for Making BOQuets.

1. The color of the vase to be used is of importance. Gaudy reds and blues should never be chosen, for they conflict with the delicate hues of flowers. Bronze or black vases, dark green, pure white, or silver, always produce a good effect, and so does straw basket, while clear glass, which shows the graceful clasping of the stems, is perhaps the prettiest of all.
 2. The shape of the vase is also to be thought of. For the middle of a dinrer- table, a round bowl is always appropriate, or a tall vase with saucer-shaped base. Or, if the center of the table is otherwise occupied, large conch-shell, or she'll shaped dish, may be swung from the chandelier above, and with plenty of vines and teathering green made to look very pretty. Delicate flowers, such as lilies of the valley and sweet peas, should be placed by themselves in slender taper ing glasses; violets should nestle theil fragrant purple in some tiny cup, and pansies be set in groups, with no gayei flowers to contradict their soft velvet hues; and--this is hint for summer few things are prettier than balsam blossoms, or double variegated holly hooks, massed on flat plate, with s fringe of green to hide the edge. Nc leaves should be interspersed with these the plate will look like solid mosaic ol splendor color.

station and then hastened to Jefferson City and laid the papers before Governor Phelps. This was on the Sunday pre- ceding the Tuesday when Edmondson was to have suffered. The governor granted respite to August 9th, and then the lawyer began his ride for life. He first telegraphed to Dexter, the nearest telegraph station, the result of his mission, and then as fast as steam and horse could carry him, he hastened back to Bloomfield with his order of communication. He was not an hour too soon, although his telegraph had been received before. But there was no hanging in Bloomfield on that day, and the people were all immensely happy. Pondexter Edmondson could not speak when first informed that his brother had made a confession. James died, and the iailor, without authority of law, let his brother attend the funeral under guard. Measures were at once set on foot to induce the governor to grant full and unconditional pardon, which will no deubt be done in day or two.--- Lincoln (Nebraska) Cor. of the ~. Y. Herald.

A New Lottery Fraud.

The newest thing in business A pig lottery store on Broadway. It has JusC been opened near the Fifth Avenue hotel and the stock fills three large floors. It includes pretty much every grimcrack under the sun, from Jump, ing Jack to a set of silver ware or goid watch. The stock is distributed m cases. each bearing letter numbering and containing several articles or aDout .n equal value. One case IS hiied WILT M triAes of little value, and another witn Ie things really worth some money. II vou want to invest you go to an oihce on ibe first floor and buy ticket for one dollar. The ticket comes out at random, and bears a letter number correspondings with that on one of the cases. You don know which case, of course, but you hunt it up, and when you find it you nave !e the right to select any single article It contains and take it for the dollar you have left at the office. The whole thing is very much like fraud, of course, 10, the chances are about ninety-niue againnst a hundred that the case your ticket calis for contains nothing worth hait the price of the ticket itself..- N r.
