THE RE-SoTHEEN-MRs OATES
Mr.. Sothern and company concluded their
engagement here Saturday night. They.
played /" A Crushed Tragedian " to thor
oucbly> appreciatiye but fearfully small au-
dience, considering that Mr.. Wall, the man..
ager, pays Mr.. Sothern S400 per night. Mr..
Sothern will in time make the g Crushed
as popular as Lord Dundreary. People
generally say ssthere isn't much in it." and
very truly, perhaps. But anyhow be will
make much out Of it. He. will develop 1t
from day to day. That's how his genius is
exerted. His company is an excellent one,
and deserve much more notice than they
have received, though their merits have
been by no means unrecognized.
On Wednesday night Mrs. Oates will
commence an engagement here to play
!" Girofe-Girofla," '!La Perichole," :" La
Jolie Parfumeuse," and Barbe-Blue."
Her company has undergone many changes
since she was here last. Most of the men,
bers' names appear new. Gustayus f.
Hall, Henri Lament, and Harry Allen; how
ever, remain with her. On the bills are the
names of eleven ladies.

FAMILY MARKETING-A SATURDAY EVE
NING's .ScENE.-!There was bountifu sup
ply OF fresh meats, poultry. butter. and
eggs at the Old Market Saturday. Fresh
meats varied in price from to 15c., accord
ing to the quality of the cut. Cabbage, tur-
nips, sweet and Irish potatoes, peas, and
beans, could be had in profusion and at
cheap rates. Chickens were held at from
25 10 soc. per pair; eggs, 15c. per dozen;
butter, 20 to 25c. per pound; turkeys, 10 to
12ac. per pound for choice. The fish and
oyster market was also well supplied. Salt
meats were abundant; and good lard
brought &c. per pound.
The buyers were numerous, and the mar
kets were crowded until late hour. What
is mentioned above, together with canned
and dried fruits, apples, oranges, homlny,
honey. herbs, red pepper in pods, and
every variety of kale, went to make up the
bill of fare which the Richmond market
men spread before their patrons on Satur-
day. The fact Of large supply, and the
more consoIing one that prices were rea-
sonable, enabled the thrifty housewife with
little money to provide for her spouse,
her little ones, and herself wholesome
and substantial Sunday dinner. The yen-
ders OF snacks, old clothes, matches, soap,
pins, and backing, seemed also to be doing
q thriving trade. A few seasonable flowers
beauti6ed what would otherwise have been
a most prosaic scene, while on one OF the
corners band Of wandering minstrels
with violin and harp played "What is
Home Without Mother-in-Law," with all
its variations.

SCIENTIFIC.

The Ne,c Volcano in PerT.-A Peruvian
newspaper, the BolSd, says that extra
ordinary phenomena have been OBJ
served in connection with the "Cor-
puma" volcano in the Province Of
Castillo, which have cause d great alarm
among the population. The immense
banks of snow which have crowned its
summit from time immemorial have
suddenly melted away with such
rapidity as TO cause torrents to rush
down the sides of the mountain, wash
ing out immense quantities of stones
and earth. The river below, being un-
able to contain the great body of water
so suddenly added TO it, overflowed its
banks, causing great damage and dis
tress. A great chasm or lateral crater
next opened on one side, throwing out
volumes of smoke and steam as well as
tongues of flame, which were distinctly
visible at night, accompanied with loud
subterranean rumblings. 1t had never
been supposed that the Corpuna was or
could be a volcano, and there is no ira
dition that it was ever in state of
eruption. Nor within the memory of
man has its crown of snow ever been
absent.

Trapped.

The mother seal builds her nursery be-
meath the surfate of the ice in such a
manner that it can enter it from the
water below; here the young seal pass
es its infancy. and when the returning
heat of summer has destroyed its igloo
or dwelling, the young seal is old
enough TO take care of itself; but this
mode of lodging its youth beneath the
ice is well known to the bear. who.
with his keen scent, soon detects its
whereabouts, and, making a spring.
comes down heavily with all its weight
on the pool of the igloo, crushes it in,
and Immediately seizes the young seal
with its paw. Here it might be sup
posed, the hungry bear at once devours
its prey; but no, it is far too wary to
do so; it knows full well that where
baby is, there must of necessity be a
mother, and that she will be in search
of her darling; therefore the bear
scrapes away the snow from the seal
hole, and, holding the young seal by
the flippers. allows it to founder about,
and when the mother approaches, the
bear slyly draws the young seal toward
1t until the old one is within reach,
when he seizes her with the other paw,
and thus captures both. Bruins me-
thod of capturing seal in the water is
as follows: He sinks his body beneath
the surface of the water, leaving only
the head above, which resembles piece
OF ice; and when the seal raises its
head above the water, bruin quietly
sinks, and swimming under the seal,
seizes it. Thus the poor, stupid seal
becomes a victim to miguided conf
dence.

A Walk of 1 1000 Miles.

Jack GOulding tells the following
story in relation to his one thousand
miles walk with young Miles, of Cali
fornia: His friends and mine matched
us TO walk one mile each, until one of
us gave out. On the 72Sth mile Jem
became exhausted. He was taken to
his room on one side of the hall, and
when L came off from my 129.h mile.

at didn't hurt much, and the people
kept yelling for me, and so, as soon as
the doctor got it fixed up, 1 went out on
the track, and then you ought to have
heard them. They fairly roared. That's
the thing that made me strong enough
TO finish the task. As soon as could
make them understand that wanted to
talk, they hushed up, and | told them
how it was, that my opponent had bro

Even the prize fighters-and / don't

him some, and make another match

Too Much English.

n man with a decided Teutonic ex-
preston of countenance, stood at the
bar of the court of Special Sessions re-
Gently, charged with petit larceny, in
having stolen two dollars 20
"What have you TO say in rebuttal 2"
asked Judge Otterbourgo of the prisoner,
after the complainant had given his tes-
timony.
The man at the bar stared vacantly at
the Court and made no reply.
'Have you any defence to make to
this allegation?" repeated the magis-
trate.
Another vacant look and silence.
Here, interpreter" shouted the
Court, addressing that functionary,
ask the prisoner in German where he
lives 90
The interpreter was about to pat the
question, when the prisoner spoke up
in broad Celtic dialect
''Shure, if it's where l live yez want
to know. it's New Jersey"
A broad grin settled on the faces of
the spectators and the Court hurriedly
named the sentence-one month in the
Penitentiary.
