How Miss Hogan, OF the Calvtlle
Troupe. Won q Husband.
Baltimore Americana
The following story is taken from the
Washington Star Of the 9th:
"In the Colville Folly Company there
are a number of very handsome young
ladies, and among them was Miss La
yinia Hogan. II was noticed that night
after night in one Of the boxes there was
quite q spruce-looking Engllshmsn, with
q companion. Very naturally, inquiries
we're made as to who they we're, and
their object. 1t was soon discovered by
some that the principal was Mr.. Charles
F. Cameron, an English gentleman, &C.
| eompanied by a medical friend, and it
was also learned that for some weeks
past, wherever the company performed,
these two men we're in a private box. 1t
was no secret with some of the company
that only one Of their number-Miss Ho'
canvas the attraction for Cameron,
and it was also noticed that frequently
during the week he took her out riding,
showing her the sights OF the Metropolis.
When the company left for Baltimore
on Sunday evening she remained behind.
On the same evening Mr.. Cameron and
his friend left the hotel. Yesterday one
of the company returned to the city on
business and saw Miss Hogan, who in.
formed him that she had come to the
conclusion to marry NJ. Cameron, and
later in the day, after informing the
landlady that she was going to get mar
ried, she left in company with Mr.. Cam.
eron Miss Hogan is the sitter in. law
of Willie Edouin, the wellkuOwn come.
dian of the Lydia Thompson combina-
ton"
A representative Of the American Wis
tied Guys Hotel after the close of the
performance at the Grand Opera House,
aud through the courtesy OF Mr.. Thomas
Boylan obtained an introduction to Miss
Kate Everleigh, one of the leading ladies
OF the Colville company. Mss Everleigh
is a very pretty blonde, rather petite, and
possessing a musical voice, with a strong
English accent. She stated that the
article published 10 the Star was sab
stantially true She spoke in the high.
est terms of Miss Hogan, who, she said,
was a quiet, lady.like girl, very attrac.
tive, highly accomplished and a great
f%aVorite with the company. Mr.. Cam
eron, she said, was a Scotchman, Of fine
family, wealthy and of un~impeachable
character. She said she had known
him for some time, and could say moth
ing OF him that was not to his credit.
He had been acquainted with Miss 10.
gan about six weeks. She was aware
that they we're to be married, and had
heard the time fixed as Sunday last.
She is confident that they have been
married, although she did not witness
the ceremony.
Mr.. Willie Elouin, the we'll known
comedian, said that Miss Hogan was his
sister in-law. he first met Mr.. Cameron
in New Orleans six or seven weeks ago.
He had known him Intimately since that
time, and was convinced that be was in
every sense an honorable gentleman.
He was aware Of his attachment for Miss
Hogan, and was satisfied that the couple
we're either already married or would be
in a day or two. The fact Of their en-.
gagement was well known in the com.
pany.

will be in Baltimore to-day,

COMMUNISM is exciting . great deal of
attention in the Eastern cites, The
credit of this dangerous and unlawful
movement is ascribed to French adven.
turers, labor leagues and other secret
societies. The movement should meet
with immediate attention from the legal
authorities. Secret political societies
are generally dangerous, and hence
should be under the surveillance Of the
authorizes. The fearful riots in the
North and East, last summer, are warn.
ings Of no uncertain character. The
Louisville Courier Journal says:
As little as it may think Of it, this
country has more to fear from Com.
munism than from all other evils com.
bined. The great city which suffers the
monster to rear its head 10 the midst of
it unsmitten invites destruction. The
cloud not larger than a mans hand upon
the horizon is sometimes the precursor
of a tempest by which cities are wrecked
and navies are stranded. Communism
there is the faint. low. far.of, dreamy
wash of the waves of hell in the very
sound of the name.

A growing flower was given to a sick
girl. In trying to take care Of it the
family made changes in their way of
living First they cleaned a window
that more light might come to it's leaves;
then they would open the window that
fresh air might help the plant to gov.
Next the clean window made the rest Of
the room look SO untidy that they used
to wash the floors and walls and arrange
the furniture more neatly. This led the
father of the family to mend a broken
chair or two, which kept him at home
several evenings. After the work was
done be stayed at home instead Of spend
ing his leisure hours at the tavern, aud
the money thus saved went to buy com.

attractive the whole family loved it bet.

and happier with their flowers. Thus a

Eject OF warm and Cold Bath,.

An article Of a very interesting and
instructive nature on the physiological
action of baths was published in a late
number of the Lancet. Summing up
the writer notes that warm baths pro.
duce an effect upon the skin directly con.
trary to that which is brought about by
cold water. The cutaneora vessels di.
late Immediately under the influence of
the heat, and although the dilation is
followed by a contraction, this contrac.
ton is seldom excessive, and the ulti.
mate result of a warn bath is to increase
the cutaneous circulation. The pulse
and respiration are both quickened in
the cold bath. The YARN bath increases
the temperature Of the body, and BY
lessening the necessity for the internal
production of heat, it decreases the call
which is made upon certain Of the vital
processes, and enables life to be sus.
tanned with a less expenditure of force.
While a cold bath causes a certain stiff.
ness of the muscles if continued too
long, a warm bath relieves stiffness and
fatigue. The final effect of both hot and
cold baths, if their temperature be mode.
rate, is the same, the difference being. t.
use the words of Braun, that " cold re-.
lreshes by stimulating the functions.
healthy physically facilitating them, and
in this lies the important difference be-
tween tie cold water system and the
thermal mode Of treatment"
