young chickens. She leaves a family

ever seen on a fan-next was Abra-
ham Lincoln, the saviour of his coun-
try and the author of emancipation
now comes Murphy, an ex-saloon
keeper and murderer! The Ameri-
can people can beat any nation on the
face of the earth, descending from the
sublime'to the ridiculous. And they
do it SO gracefully.
On last Thursday evening Mrs
Stewart and her three children, while
