changed for the one which was to have
been presented the night before.
Then followed the closing piece,
"Bolts and Bars" The Characters Save

gained many congratulations from her

TO BE REPEATED.
AT the close of the first act of Cinder-
ella, Mr.. Weed was called before the cur
tain,s.and Mr.. Humphrey, in behalf of the
audience, requested the performances be
repeated at some future time. Mr..
Weed, in reply, announced that the re-
quest would be granted, and fixed the
time at three weeks in the future. Ii

AS an a. rent to induce the State
Lecislatu increase the salary OF
the Asst Attorney General to
81, 900 p, mum, it was urged by
friends ,, he measure that by such
increase the Assistant would be Ell
abled to divorce himself from all other
engagements and devote his whole
time and attention to the duties of his
office, thus rendering it unnecessary
for the State to employ outside coun-
sci. The argument was very cleverly
presented and indicated genuine econ
omy as the result of the adoption OF
the measure. 1t appears, however.
that the Wanted economy does not
follow the increase of salary in this
case, as we observe that Hon. l.. 5.
Dixon, of Milwaukee, appears on be-
half of the State before the Supreme
Court, in a suit to annul the charter
of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & West
ern Railway Company. Weare OF the
opinion that the Office of Assistant At
torney General is more ornamental
than useful.

The Wisconsin Institution for the
Education of the Deaf and Dumb has
lost its usefulness for the present and
nothing but radical change in its
management viii resuscItate it. We
hear the welcome rumor that steps are
to be taken looking to reorganization
and purging of that institution and
trust that the rumor may prove true.
Gov. Smith owes it to the people of
Wisconsin, i not to himself, that II
thorough over hauling and change in
the affairs of the Delevan Institution
be made, and if he refuses to accede
to the just and proper demands of the
people for this change, the people
through their representatives in the
legislature should persistently refuse
to vote an appropriation of single
dollar for its maintenance and thus
starve out the lascivious management
that it may be recognized upon
code of higher moral principles.

THE cOnquering power of the North
displayed magnanimity i'll dealing
with its Southern foes at the close of
the late rebellion unparalleled in the
history of any age or country, and de-
spite the sectional feeling of bitter
hatred towards the North which has
since been carefully nurtured among
the people of the South, in their pres
ent aflliction of yellow fever visitation
by which whole cities have been near
ly depopulated, the Northern people
have generously responded to their ap-
peals for financial aid, and notwith-
standing the hard times of which all
complain thousands of dollars have
been forwarded for the relief of, so
far as money will relieve, the fever
stricken sections of the South. For
the relief of suffering humanity the
North is never appealed to in vain, and
her generosity in this instance is wor-
thy of especial communication.

The Bell Punch.

Mr., Turpin, Of Wicomico, obtain
ed leave to introduce bill imposing
a tax, and to prescribe "A mode of
collecting the same, on the privilege
of selling wine, ardent spirits or malt
liquors within the limits of this
State. This bill is nothing more nor
less than the Virginia Moffett liquor
law, generally known as the bell
punch laW-the same that Senator
Bannon has introduced in the other
House. The Virginil law is modi-
fled SO a 5 to adopt it to the revenue
system of this State. The Comp
troller is to issue the LIQUOR registers,
and the tax collectors at present
provided for by law are to examine
the registers. For every half pint or
fraction thereof sold by the retail
dealer, and for every drink sold by
the bar-room keeper, the crank
shall be turned until the bell rings
and the indicator on the dial has
moved one point. The tax provided
for by the law is for the bar-room
keeper . cents upon each drink OF
wine or spirituous liquor, and one
half cent upon each drink of malt
liquor. The retail dealer must pay
q cents upon each half pint or less
of wine or spirituous liquor sold by
! him, and as much more for every
half pint additional. In the case of
malt liquors the tax is one-half cent
for every half pint sold. Wholesale
| liquor dealers are those who sell only
in quantities of five gallons and up
wards, they are required to keep a
record of all their sales, showing
names of persons to whom sold, day
Of sale and amounts. For the privi-
lege of selling in quantities less than

must be paid of forty cents for each

Salaries of POstmaSters.

The Senate Committee on POstoffi-
GERS and Post Roads considered the
bill to regulate the compensation of
pOstmasters. This bill divides post
masters into four classes, viz: First
class, all whose annual salaries are
So, 600 or more; second-class, all whose
salaries are less than $4,000, but not
less than $4,000; third class, all whose
salaries are less than $1,000, but not
less than $1,000; fourth class, all
whose compensation, exclusive Of
commissions on money order bust
ness, amounts to less than 81 600.
There are ten sections to the bill.
The committee also substantially
agreed to report fayorably the nomi-
alton of Mr.. Wickersham to be
Postmaster at Mobile.
The bill reported by Mr.. Waddell.
from the House Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads, "to regulate
the compensation of postmasters," is
a measure embodying the recon-
mendations of the Department on
this subject, as recently published.
It's principal feature is provision
that the compensation of fourth-class
postmasters shall hereafter be based
upon the stamps cancelled as postages
on matter actually mailed at their
respective offices, instead of the
amount of stamps sold by them. The
bill also provides heavy penalties for
making false returns and for traf-
ticking in stamps. twas ordered to

The report of the West Virginia
penitentiary for 1877 shows that $50
convicts have been let out to con-
tractors who employ them in the
penitentiary buildings in the manu-
facture of whips, broOms and cigars,
paying the State for their labor an
average of twenty-five cents day for
each laborer employed. About half
as many more convicts are now idle
and are offered to manufacturers un-
der the rules of the prison. Work
amounting to SS,022.75, it is claimed,
has been done in the way of perma-
hent mproYementS about the prison
during the year. Prisoners clothing
and food during 1877 cost fifteen cents
a day, per capita, ana the total cost
per capita was thirty nine and half
cents, a considerable saving over 1876.
The discipline, health and security
of the prison have been kept up to
high standard during the year, and
the report makes a good showing for
the Superintendent and his subpr-
dinate5.

Times. Ina late letter he discussed
two important subjects the centin-
ued closing of the Dardanelles and
the almost certain cessiOn Of Arme-.
nian territory to the Czar. He said
the main if not the only interest OF
England in the Eastern question was
in preserving from the touch ofany
power the passage of her commerce
ito India, and, in aid of this, the pas
sage through the Suez canal, seven.
eighths Of whose traffic is English,
ought to be kept open. If the D,,r-
danelles are free it must be to the
ships of England as well as Russia,
which latter power, he held, must
always be inferior to England in the
Mediterranean, and thus the route
to India would be protected. Sir

The trade dollar contains four hun
dred and twenty grains of silver of
the highest coinage fineness, and, al
though intended for purposes OF COM
mercial transactions between this
country and China, is recognized as
convenient coin for home eircula-
ton. 1t is nearly equal in value to
the greenback dollar, and for use in
business circles is almost as accepta-
bic. 1t is preferred to the gold dollar,
which is too small for general hana-

of the wreck is stated to be twenty
miles north Of Kitty Hawk station.
The Chief Signal Officer has ordered
one Of the operators st Kitty Hawk
to go at once on horseback to the
wreck and open a telegraph station,
SO as to forward all the information
obtainable as to the loss of life, which
it is feared has been very serious. AS
in the case of the steamship Huron,
the disaster was too far from any of
the life-saving stations to receive any
aid. A second despatch states that
