Two moro of the neat volumes, to which
Mr. william Winter has given the general title OF
1.-THE Prompt Book" have been added to that use
full series. These are shakespeare's "Kng Richard
H." and Buwer's Richelleu" both following the acting
arrangement of Edwin Booth, and both displaying the
same high merits OF fidelity to the original
text, discreet and tasteful adaptation TO the
practical of the stage, and felcitous illustra-
ton which gave such value and beauty 10 the earlier
volumes Mr. Winters admirable critical faculty shows
ITSELF as before in the brief but pthy comments OF the
preface and the historical and analytical OF the
interesting appendix. He Mas taken up good work
and We trust he may be encouraged to continue 1t until
he has added cabinet brSry Of standard plays to the
literature OF the stage.

and stood resting my elbows on the

man | was. The fact grew on me,

so maddened me that l resolved,

shoot him at sight. Not long after
this Andy - (naming II lawyer

prowled round the streets waiting
for him. He soon came along.
Halt, Andy said |, pointing my
gun at him. Say your prayers, for
Pm going to shoot you.' 'Why,
Mr.. Lincoln, what's the matter?
What have / done? well, l made
an oath that if L ever saw u man
uglier than am, Pd shoot him on

A Curtous Wager.

A Delano correspondent of the
Kern county Gazette tells the fol-
lowing story:
A curious wager was made and
won here last week by loquacious
individual sailing under the sobri-
quet of "Murphue." Last Monday
evening, while at the Delano
House, he offered to wager 500 that
he could maintain all uninterrupt-
ed flow of native "brogue" for
twenty-four consecutive hours,
with no other stimulant than his
usual beverage-Delano bug juice
which was to be furnished in un-
stinted quantities, on his demand,
at the losers expense. On being
taken up by party doubling his
powers of endurance, and prelimi.
naries being completed, "Murphue"
mounted the stump, and
choosing for his topic the
Kearney movement, sailed i'll
with flow of words that would
have put the subject of his harangue
to shame could he have been pres
ent. The start was made at $3.50
A. M. At 10:30 p. NJ. the demiohn
had gone down cellar three tim es
to catch breath, and no visible de-
crease in Murphue's stock of words.
At 2:S0 Wednesday morning Kear-
ney had been disposed of, together
with the contents of another demi-
john. An argument in favor of tn
Chinese was then taken up. Muir
phue's articulation at Z A. NJ. be.
came rather husky and the thread
of his argument rather difficult tc
follow, but he kept manfully at it,
and betting among the numbers
who had assembled in the room rar
high, one bet of $40 being of.
fered and accepted that Murphue
would not hold out, he having
drank during the time Of his deliv'
cry fully four gallons of whisky
When the time was at last called
and the W ager declared fairly won,
Murphues powers of endurance wer'
totally exhausted. He fell from hi
cramped position on the chair AM
rolled over under the billiard table
a spongy mass Of flesh and whisky
but, strange to say, his unconsciou
lips in this semi-comatose condition
still continued moving, notwith
standing the efforts made by DR.
Stuart for his relief. 1t is, indeed
sad to contemplate the possibilit.
