A FEMALE TRAMp.-0n last Thursday
Mayor McConnaughy, Of Bridgeport, in
answer TO a summons, called at a house
in that town, where he found a woman
with her two little children, m four
years, the other Eve months old. The
woman related this sad history: About Q
year ago she married her second husband
In Jersey City, and removed with him to
St. Louis, where for a time he did very
we'll and was kind and good to her; but be
got to drinking after the birth Of the sec.
oud child, and when intoxicated would
cruelty beat her Oldest child. She re.
manned with him until his abuse became
intolerable, when she determined 10 re-
turn 10 her former home; and accordingly
with her two little ones, moneyless
and friendless, she started to walk
from St.. Louis to jersey City, She
walked twenty-five miles, when she
gave out and was put aboard the
care. By begging and enduring all
manner OF hardships she arrived in
Bridgeport on Thursday, and being com
pletely broken in spirits and discouraged
from ever reaching home she expressed
a determination to end the misery OF her
self and little ones by drowning In the
Ohio. She said that she had been jAmmed
into station houses along with rough
men to sleep on the bare floor, and had 10
listen to the cries Of hunger OF her babes;
and sooner than see them longer suffer
from hunger and cold "out on the street"
she would put an end to their suffering
by consigning them 10 the river. Mayor
Nc COnnaughy took her TO a hotel, pro.
cured lodging, supper and breakfast, and,
gu Friday, sent her 10 Pittsburgh.

Miss JANE ooMB..-This sterling act
ress will appear in the Opera House on
Thursday evening next as "Camille," and
on Friday evening a. "Juliet." The
Courier Journal says OF her:
In saying that Camille Is the best play
we have from the French, we do not re-
cali a single exception. Il is natural in
its conception and interesting in its de-
yelopments, while its incidents are work.
ed up with an ability and al apprecia.
ton for the dramatic power and beauty,
which Ia sadly wanting in nearly allthe
new plays that End their way TO the stage.
Il is not OF the play that we desire to
speak, bnt OF Miss Coomb's impersonation
OF Camille. 1t was nature, beautiful, free
from over coloring, and, at times, go
affecting as to move the audience to tears.
It is a fault with most Camille's to over
do the part, especially in the more emo
tional scenes, seeming not TO appreciate
the beauty and tenderness Of emotion.
Mics COMBS acting is free from such
blemishes. Her more affecting scenes are
mellowed by a common sympathy with
humanity that brings the character into
lie, as il were, making us experience all
those emotions and s~ympathies which
the reality Of the picture would call
forth.
Seldom has the Louisville stage pro-
duced anything SO natural, beautiful,
and affecting. What we say Of this scene
will apply TO all the latter scenes Of the
play. In the death bed scene, when she
walks 10 the glass, and, seeing her ema.
ciated face, realizes the frightful reality
that death has laid It's hands upon her,
shutting out all the hopes Of life, and
tails back into a chair overcome with des.
pair, begging piteously to only live till
SPRING iii Armand .comes-there Was
hardly a dry eye In the audience.
