j. K. EMMET's NEW FRITZ.


Mr.. j. X. Emmett the king of comedy will
appear in the Grand Opera House, Saturday
night, in his new Fritz, supported by an
able troupe. The Pittsburgh "Leadsr" had
the following short time ago concerning
this troupe The rush to see J. K. Emmet's
"Fritz" was greater than ever last night.
His acting, his versatile fun, and character
istic humor, his songs, and his dances have
q wonderful attraction /; for people want to
be heartily amused. This character Of
"Fritz" Is one exactly adapted to Mr.. Em-
NETS peculiar genius, and in his hands be-
comes artistic and thoroughly satisfactory.
He personates no less than seven different
characters, giving as many songs and
dances giving proef of wonderful versat-
ility. BE has q fns ringing voice, of great
power Is an excellent and graceful dancer,
while all he does, is characterized by neat
ness.
At three o'clock yesterday afternoon
every seat In the parquet-circle, and dress
circle of the Academy of Music had been
sold, and when the curtain rose at eight
O'Clock not even standing room was to be
had In the house. Over $500 dollars were
taken In at the ticket Office during the day.
Emmet's engagement is one Of the most
successful ever played in this city. Tonight
he makes his last appearance In Fritz" "
When he comes again, he will, find o
hearty welcome awaiting him.

FATHER RYAN:

Father Ryan the Poet priest Of the South
with the heroism Of his nature, and the de-
votion of his order labored increasingly in
the cause of humanity, and at last has gone
to meet his reward. He died of yellow fever
at Chattanooga q few days ago,and his death
will be universally regretted. There was
no man in the South during the civil war
reached his standard as poet. His "Sword
ofLee," "The conquered banner" !" Lines" !"
and many others stand pree-minent among
the war poems Of the South. There we're

THE C0L0RAD0 ELECTION.

The Republicans appear to have carried
Colorado, which gives them the vote OF a
State IN the event Of the Presidential cleo
tion going to the House. The vote Of the
Republicans exceeded thai Of both Demo
Gratis and Greenbackers combined. The
victory, however, is substantially Green
back one, as the Republican platform en-
braced the most advanced views Of the
Labor and Greenback parties. It demands
the maintenance of every citizen in all his
rights; deprecate any tariff legislation that
may tend to unsettle values; believe that
the Government should provide honest
national mouey sufficient for all the legiti>
mate needs of the country, and that the
interest bearing debt should be reconverted
into popular loan; declare that the debt
should be paid as agreed upon at the time 1t
was contracted, and approve the attempt OF
the Senate to make greenbacks receivable
for government dues; believe that the Gov
ernment should increase the coinage of the
precious metals; view the growth of power
lful corporations with. alarm. The Demo-
cratic platform was almost identical with
this one, but tbs Greenbackers enunciated
their wild "fat money" doctrine. 1t ia
quite evident that the march Of the people
against the dishonest sratesmanship of the
contractionists will not stop. We would
have much preferred to have chronicled the
success of the Democracy in Colorado, but
at all events the people are marching on &C
the dismsy of the ring of dishonest snd
cruel men, who while pretending to be just
pass laws to devour the substance of th'
poor. Falter not, but onward, God will ait
the right.

those Of Father Ryan. We publish ex-
tracts from some of his ballads.
b THE SWORD OF LEE
Forth from it scabbard, pure and bright,
IN Flashed the sword Of Leel
Far in the front Of the deadly fight,
High DER the brave, in the cause Of right
It's stainless sheen, like beacon-light,
Led us to victory.
Out Of its scabbard, where full long,
1t slumbersd peacefully
Roused from its rest by the battle-song,
Shielding the feeble, smiting the strong,
Guarding the right, and avenging the wrong
Cleaned the sword Of Lee!
Forth from its scabbard, high in air,
Beneath Virginia's sky
And they who saw 1t cleaning there.
And knew who bore it, knelt to swear,
That where that sword led they would dare
To follow and to die.
Out Of its scabbardl Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led braver band,
Nor braver bled for brighter land,
Nor brighter land had cause as grand,
Nor cause, chief like Lee!
The material ring, and perfect measure
of those verses have rarely been equalled.
In contrast we select a verse from the
Conquered Banner.
Farl i'll for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low; t
And the banner, it is trailing, 2e a,
While around it sounds the wailing 4 ~.
Ofits people in their woe. - -
For. though conquered, they. adore it,
Love. the cold, dead hands that bore it,
Weep for those who fell before il,
Pardon those who trailed and toreit,
And oh! wildly they deplorei it
Now to furl and fold itso. .;,a ...,'
The "Lines' written for the Memoir ial
Association Of Fredericksburg Virginia, in
1866, are inexpressibly sweet and sad.
Gather the sacred dust 1a-' e.i Va
| Ofthe warriors tried and true,
| Who bore the flag of our Nations trust,
I And fell in the cause, though lost, still just
! And died for me and you. . as,
Gather them each and all!
From the Private to the Chief! a,a.
Come they from howell or princely hall,
They fell for us, and for them should fall
The tearsof q Nations grief
Gather the corpses strewn
O'er nanny battle plain, 4
From manya grave that lies SO lone,
| Without name and without stone,
1 Gather the Southern slain.
We care not whence they came, MI
Dear is their lifeless clayt
Whether unknown or known to fame,
Their cause and country still the same
| They died-and wore the gray.
| Whenever the brave have died,
| They sh ould not rest apart; ,.
] Living, they struggled side by side
i Why should the hand of death divide
l A single heart from heart?
u D. .
Gather their scattered clay,
} Wherever it may rest, o..
Just as they marched to the bloody fray,
Just as they fell on the battle-day.
Bury them breast 10 breast.

If our scientists could impress upon far

Agrcu'tursts complain III At it does not

trouble is that they are not careful To buy
