moves rapidly and the interest is
sustained to the end. The bowie
knife and revolver play a leading
part in 1t, and Captain Jack Craw-
ford approved himself, as OH the
first night, a gallant a nd debonnair
deliverer OF prosecuted innocence.
Woodland, as Bill Williams, did
some really creditable acting.
"The Plains" will be produced at
the matinee this afternoon and at
the regular evening performance.
The Cotton Semi-7ropic, in a
moment Of rashness, started of to
doubt the HERALD's provision as q
weather prophet. Before it was
through with the paragraph it be-
gan TO rain, on the 10th, as we pre-
dicted. The ,Semi.7ropic thereupon
repented, and withdrew what 1t
said, depending on the future for
what its ultimate judgment should
be. We think that now, after the
copious rains, our sprightly neigh
Dor will develop o second fit of re-
pentance and apology. When we
prophecy of the weather, or other
things, we know whereof we
speak. And yet, after all, the
scripture tells us that prophet is
not without honor save in his own
country. Where shall we look for
recognition? And echo answers
"where"-a melancholy refrain.
We deem it well to note the fact
that the Messrs. Thomas Strohm
and Henry Koch will hereafter be
leaders in the boys class of gym
nastics, at the Turnverein Germa-
mia. We regard Mr.. Thomas
Strohm as one of the most graceful
and thorough acrobats we have
ever seen. He has had an extend.
ed experience in training boys,
aud parents would do well to give
their children the benefit of his
care and skill. We have not the
pleasure of knowing Mr.. Koch, but
we learn that he, also, ia quite ac-
complished. The boys classes are
for Tuesday and Friday
evenings, between eight and nine
o'clock.
We remember Judge Edmunds,

rooms to find out what was being
said about him. He was then the

do any dirty work at his patrons
and, we suppose, from the
fact of his having remained in Of

serviency up to the present time.

AT the session Of Council of De-
Goth petition was pre-
sented asking for a plank crossing
on Spring street from the corner of
Franklin. The request was con-
sidsred reasonable and the crossing
SO imperative a necessity that, to
avoid delay, the matter was referred
to the Board of Public Works with
power to act. This action was had
nearly a month ago and still
Spring street at its busiest part is
without crossing. Why this
delay Messieurs, the Board of Public
Works?
