Theatre, after an absence from the city for five
years. The show is variety" in every sense
of the word. The first part consists of songs
and jokes. The songs were we'll rendered by
the four troubadours. The Jokes were mostly
too feeble to be out after dark, but then they
pleased the gallery GODS The DAILY brothers,
four in number, appeared in the second part,
and their clog dancing was unusually fine.
They were recalled several times. Tierney
contortion acts were good. The singing of the
troubadour quartette twas the event of the
evening, and they were recalled three or four
times. The grand change act by the DAILY

necessity for Bureau of this character has

A Scotch Story.

A certain minister having become much
addicted to drink, his presbytery had to
interfere, and get the minister to sign the
pledge. The result was that the sudden
reaction was too much for him, he became
so i'll that the doctor was sent for. The
doctor said he must begin to take his
toddy. This the minister said he could
not do, as he had taken the pledge. The
doctor replied that he might get bottle
or two quietly, and no body but their own
selves and the housekeeper would know it.
"Man, said the minister, tiny house
keeper is worse than all the presbytery put
together, so that would not do"
However, it was arranged that the
doctor should bring the whisky and sugar,
and that the minister was to make the
toddy in his bedroom with the hot water
he got for shaving purposes in the morn
ing. The result was the minister soon
got well, and one day on going ont, the
doctor said to the minister's housekeeper:
"Well, Margaret, your minister is quite
himself again" "The e's nae doubt of
that, sir" she replied, shes quite well in
body, but there's something game wrong
wi his upper starry" whats there,
Margaret ?" asked the doctor. "Well, sir,
| dinna ken, but he asks for Shawn water

GOLD PROM THE RooF OF THE MINT.
-The Philadelphia, Pa, Bulletin says !:
@The dust which has been allowed to ac-
eumulate upon the roof of the Philadel-
phia Mint during the past twenty-five years
was collected recently by order of Governor
Pollock, for the purpose Of ascertaining
what proportion Of metal it contained.
The roof is Of Asphalt, aud, as il softens,
the dust sticks tenaciously. Some amount
Of difficulty was consequently experienced
in removing it, but finally a quantity
amounting to l,732 pounds in weight was
removed. This has just been submitted
to the usual assaying process, and the re-
suit shows that AZ ounces of standard gold
and 96A ounces Of standard silver-a total
valuation Of about s850-had been con-
vcyed 10 the upward fight of smoke Of the
chimney to the place where Il became
located for season. A similar exper-
iment was tried a quarter Of century ago,
and out Of $3.50 ounces Of dust an ounce
Of gold was extracted, which Is now ex-
hibited as curiosity in the Office Of the
Assayer The floors Of the Mint are swept
every week and the accumulation preserv-
ed, and once year the woodwork Of the
refining room and the gloves of the EN-
ployes are burned and the precious dust
obtained from them, while the residue is
sold TO sweep-smelter.
