The old lady got, after time, to have

"Know him? Do T look like a man

we said:

at the Academy of Music tomorrow

John THOMPSON at Woods Museum
There was an OVERLOOKING house at this
popular theatre last evening, even
standing room accommodation being
exhausted. When we take into consid-
GRAFTON this being his third visit in one
season, it must be admitted that our
people are lavish in the liberality with
which they welcome anything in the
line of comedy. In Mr.. Thompson we
have a comedian Of the higher type,
possessing versatility of talent seldom,
IL ever, combined in one person: and
displaying, too, In his rend1tons
a culture and finish that bespeaks arts
tic excellence. He has all the elements
ing in everything he does. Experience
has given him completeness and polish.
The more he is seen the newer he
seems, and the more certain it appears
that he is an actor Of great versatility
and possibilities. The play is mag
nificent drama in itself. full Of brillian-
CIV and wit, but with Mr.. Thompson as
the central figure it becomes an enter,
| tainment so rich, attractive, varied ano
mirth- provoking, that one never tires
| of it. son Hand % will be presented
every evening until further notice.-lN

DO Not Trust Politicians.
I'm, Y. Sun,1

It is the same old story OF seeing our
fondest hopes decay, and putting our
foot In it, and having q young gazelle
metaphorically peter out, and the Rome
Sentinel tells all about it. 1t says "A
lady on Washington street, who 10 an
enthusiastic Republican, named her
canary bird Jim Blaine. He did not
sing much, but she loved him tenderly
until last Saturday she discovered that
Jim Blaine had laid an egg. Now she
declares that no dependence can be
placed on politicians"

Mr.. John Sherman's nice ction
of voting for Kellogg in the Senate, but
saying that he opposed him for the sake

paralleled by Sheridan's impudence,
who, when q rather ancient damsel
wished to walk out with him. pleaded
"cIoudy weather." and when the old
lady caught him starting out and said,

Fred. Douglass always reminds me OF
a great gray lion, very strong, very mo-
bic, and not to be altogether trifled
with. His wife, with whom he has lived
many faithful and eventful years, 10
said to be quite black, plainly showing
her African descent, while he Is light,
and possesses fine regular features. An
Douplass to a certain man of letters lis
attributed to the old "gray lion," as fol-

WASHINGTON, March 81. -Packard's
latest circular was SO violent and insult
ing in tone that congressman Ellis,
Levy and Gibson sought and obtained
conference with Hayes to-day for the
purpose Of carrying out some. flank
movement. They carried with them q
carefully prepared exhibit OF the amount
of money collected respectively by
Nichols and Packard. showing con-
clusfvely that Packard was not doing
much business with the tax collector,
compared with the success OF Nichols
in that line. They successfully refuted
dress, and pleaded with Hayes to pre-
vent him carrying. out his inten-
tions of having his constabulary
arrest Nichols police with the help
of the army. Hayes at once sent an
order to Secretary McCrary. directing
him to inform Packard and Gen. Augur
that the recent orders about preserving
peace were not intended to grant Ii
cense for any such proceedings as were
threatened by Packard. The status quo
was to be maintained, but no officer OF

Mr.. Hayes, in settling the Louisiana qucs-
tion has simply adopted the principles set forth
in the ST. Louis platform, in Governor Tilden's
mastery letter of acceptance, and in almost
every Democratic speech that was made, and
in every Democratic paper that was printed
during the Presidential canvass. Non-inter-
vention by the Federal Government in the
affairs OF the States and the superiority Of
tho civil over The military power. That's all
there was in the Louisiana question. The
adjustment is right; it is right because it is
Democratic; aud it is right because it was
antagonizcd by every Republican speaker aud
newspaper in the land during The late canvass.
