condescenson for my uncle to accept their
invitation, but he did so because their young
est child, mite of six years old, used to way
lay him in his walks down to the river-steam-
ers, and tyranniZed over him. So we all
passed Christmas eve at the night.cap max
er's substantial residence in the pleasantest
suburb of Paris, eating supper of black pud-
ding and other savoty delicacies, mostly from
a p0rk-butchers according to immemorial
custom. l thought, as we eat and drank so
merrily that our feast would have looked bet
ter if Nine. Lapineau's poor relations had
been there; but it was no business of mine,
and, if the truth must be told, we did very
well without them.
M. Lapineau came down from Paris to his
villa early in the afternoon, and all his chill
dren and bis neighbors' children greeted his
advent with shouts of rejoicing, for the
worthy man and two stout commissionaires
who had accompanied him from the steamer,
were quite smothered in brown paper parcels.
He had brought mechanical toys by the doz-
en-, talking dolls, barking dogs, and cows
which could be MIXED to perfection; his
pockets were full of ingenious contrivances
which would fasten sash almost as we'll as
household pin. He had a portable tele-
graph which nobody could work after five
minutes practice hand mirrors showing the
backs and side of the beholder's head: fans,
made of the leaves of exotics initiated in silk !;
Guignol boxes to display the antics of our

pops; Christmas books, with illustrations by
Bayard and Dore, pre-eminently beautiful,
where all was so pretty and grand. Moreover
the best of it was that all of these things
were to be kept profound mystery, and ev-
erybody was to make believe that nothing
was known about them, till ''Le Petit Noer'
distributed them in secret, when all good
children were fast asleep.
M. Lapineau had gradually extricated him
self from the mob of bright.eyed little imps
who chung to his coat-tails till he promised
they should have Christmas tree next day;
and then he came to warm himself by the
fire, and shake hands with us. He was
man of ample girth, who made a noise like
grampus in the waves when he eat soup; and
was in other respects as cheerful specimen
of night-cap maker as could be found in
Paris.

Charlotte Thompson.

That the people of St. Paul thoroughly APP
preciate Miss Charlotte Thompsons beautiful
conception and faithful impersonation of Jane
Eyre was evident by the unusually large audi
ence which attended the matinee YESTERDAY af-
ternoon. The lady is in her second perform
ance more than justified every word of the very
high praise given her in yesterdays issue, and
the enthusiasm of her audience showed that she
was fully appreciated. 1t is not often that UNI
qualified praise is given in these columns, and
when it is it arises from the fact that there is
absolutely nothing to find fault with, and
with Jane Eyre-and Miss Thompson is
Jane Eyre-the critic has nothing
even to carp at. Miss Lewis was lust as
pretty and just as effective as Georgina as on
the first performance. Mr.. Bryton lost some
thing of his knitted brow and compressed,
cruelhp, and was in consequence, far more
acceptable Rochester. MIR. Gregory's Jacob
was amusing and more within the possibilities
of a ''pampered menial,'' while his Brockel-
hurst shorn Of its extravagant exaggerations
pleased the audience equally as well, and more
nearly approached the contemplate, canting
hypocrite intended in the text. Adele by little
Efee, deserves more than passing notice. Few in
the audience would suspect that she was a little
boy, the same boy who played in East LYNNE.
Master Cooper is a smart little fellow, and is
certain to be heard from in after years. Miss
Thompson chose for her benefit performance
the Hunchback, and in this again surprised
her audience greatly. Julia has never been
in better hands in this city, and the situations
gave Miss Thompson opportunity to display a
power few felt her capable of. Miss Lewis as
Helen was most excellent and deserves eyery
praise. The play well mounted and
dressed. The garden scene was very pretty and
effective. The company perform in Mime

The Red Devils Still Successful in Eludine
Pursuing TroOps--Their Route Marked
by Pillage, Fire and Death--Eight Bodies
Recovered Other Parties Known to be
Killed, and Still Others Missing.
ST. Louis, Oct. "a special to the Globe
Democrat from Topeka, Kansas. gives a sum
mary of the outrages committed by Indians
who went north day or two ago. After cross
ing the Kansas Pacific they started northwest
to Decatur county and raided the settlements
there. Their main depredations were on Sappa
creek. Every residence for twelve miles was
plundered and almost everything
destroyed, all the cattle stampeded
and what of crops was left
by the Indians has been eaten up or de-
stroyed by stock. The number of people killed
is not yet known but the following bodies have
been found and brought to Oberlin and buried :
81. ?. Humphrey, James g. Laning. William
Laning, Thomas Miskelly, Mr.. Lule, Marcellus
Fell, NJ. F. Abernethy and MI. Irwin.
ing family have been killed, and their mother
brutally outraged by several Indians. John
Marshall and man named Stedman were badly
wounded, and Fred Walters and Mr.. Wright
are missing. The house of w. D. Colum was
| surrounded by Indians, but he and his wife,
with shotgun and revolvers, defended the house
till. they drove the Indians away,
killing or wounding several of
them. Other cases similar to
this occurred. Nearly all the settlers along
Sappa creek have taken refuge in Oberlin and
are being cared for. They have been literally
stripped of everything they possessed. It is
reported the troops have scattered the Indians
in all directions and that the worst is over.

The Historic Name of Them En-

The Historic Name-Twenty of Them En-
gagged In Reducing the Taxes of ST.
Paul.
Historically, the name of John has been a
conspicuous one. Both in religious and
profane history John has received more than
passing page notice, as prominently con-
nected with the ensuing events of the period
in which John lived. No sooner does one
John die, than another John arises,
either in war, politics or some other
profession, to be heralded along the avenue
of ages as an example to some other John.
In fact, John has been frequently and per-
sistently great, famous or notorious. We
have had John Churchill, Duke of Marl-
borough, famous in war. John the Baptist,
one sent, as we are told. In the records of
crime we have had
John, John, the piper's son,
Stole pig and away he run.
In mercantile and commercial way Cheap
John has been figure on Change. Politi-
cally, John Chinaman is no small fry.
John Barlycorn is pre-eminently an Ameri-
can of note, CONSPICUOUS at primaries and a
beacon light on election days. He
boasts of throwing his man every time.
Demi John is a companionable party, fond
of picnic, Sunday excursion, and the like.
There's sterling John Bull of gutteral tones
and boastful mein, somewhat toned down to
the amenities of life by Brother Jonathan
Johnny Crapeau, the essence of French po-
likeness, must not be omitted from the
category. 'Twould not be polite.
But this is merely an introduction to the
fact that st. Paul has not been unmindful of
the former usefulness of John, and profiting
from example, has made use of John. At
present holding office, and by it going down
into history, or connected with the
city government, are the following Johns:
John Dowlan. John o Conner, John W. Roche
John Patterson, John Mitchell, Jr., John
Toomy, John Ryan, John Doran John Bell
John Thera. John Clark, John Bresett, John
Mitchell NJ sr., John Casey, John yogth, John
w. Cooke, John E. Newall, John Jesserang,
John Cunniffe, John jackson.
Twenty Johns in all. All of them whole
Johns, not demi-John among the number.
And the tax levy for city purposes, school,
etc., etc., ETC., is only 10 mills. The country
entrusted to John is prosperous.
