ENTERTAINMENT EXTRAORDINARY At
GERMANIA HALI.-A cultivated audi
ence greeted the great magician, Hroi'
Macque, last evening, at Germania Hal.
The Professor was assisted by Mr.. 1. a.
Panne, who made his first appearance IN
Wheeling at this performance. OF Prof..
Macque, we would say that his perform
ance was very pleasing and entertaining,
and he Is as good 4 ventriloquist as 1t
has ever been our pleasure to listen to;
Mr.. Panne's rendition Of the "Duke Of
Gloster's Soliloquy" was sublime. His
conception Of the soliloquy was different
from any we have ever heard, but never:
theless II was perfect. It showed careful
study and held the audience spell-bound.
In the part where Gloster speaks Of his
deiormities the gentleman seemed TO be
inspired, and as with his game
leg he gently pounded on the tioor
and ia his right hand he clutched his
sword he let himself out in n most terri
bic burst Of passion, that shot the audi
euce down into the deepest depths oil woe
and terror; and as he paced the stage like
ChBtu llUH bu6 Sut hAth ASaa $500
from our view for a time one Of the
greatest Of living tragedians, whose his
trionic ability will some day, like star,
shine forth 10 the bright constellation oil
living actors. He next appeared in a
comic song, in which he showed himself
10 be fine comedian, and soon after rem.
dered Hamlet's soliloquy in a manner
that proved he had II down to fine point.
In this character his melancholy tone
seemed to cast gloom over the audience,
and now and then a suppressed sob
could be heard. Even the musicians
seemed affected, and as they gently started
OF into lively jig the gallery gods gave
vent to their feelings in loud and con.
tinued applause. The gentleman gave
several other selections in fine style. We
can only say in conclusion that should
this gentleman ever conclude TO become
an actor success will crown his efforts,
and his name will be handed down to
posterity as the peer Of any actor that
ever trod the boards Of the Bowery.

A PLucKY GrRL.-About half.past
eight o'clock last evening small crowd
Of loungers at the southeast corner oil
Market and Nth streets were witnesses
OF rather novel incident. Two young
girls, scarcely more than past "sweet ak.
teen," came up the atreet, and stopping
at the corner one OF them turned to a
weli.dressed, tony sort Of a chap who
was close behind, and said, in tone Of
voice not to be mistaken: snow look
here, mister, you've followed us girls
just about long enough, and we
won't stand il any longer" The fellow,
who was evidently stranger in the city,
declared that he had no intention Of fol.
lowing them, but the girls would not lis.
ten TO him. They declared that they
knew better; that he had sneaked after
them up Market street 10 the Mcclure
House, back again 10 the Custom House,
and then up to where they stood. The
girls evidently meant business, and the
man did not attempt to follow them fur

MUcH WHIsKT.-A liquor seller in
North Wheeling yesterday brought suit,
before Justice Marshall, against 81 par.
ties for whisky bills aggregating 1914 So,
or within fractional average Of So so in
each case. The same party says he has
$50 more bills Of the same sort, which
will enable him to divide his patronage

among them all they will foot up an ag-
gregate Of nearly thousand dollars
