Count Joarnes repeated last evening his carica-
ture of Richard Ill. the Olympic Theatre. and his
audience, which was much smaller one than on
Monday evening" also repeated their performance
which was by far the funnier of the two. Although
six stalwart policemen distributed through the
auditorium the boys irrepressible. and cat
calls, groans. shouts. barks mewings and every
description OF vocal discord made it next
to impossible to hear any six consccu-
tive words Of the melancholy ntterane es
the remainder of the cast. The appearance of every
actor and actress upon the stage was greeted with
riotous tumult OF voices. and while some or the
doings OF the gallery were mere aughable drollery
the greater portion ot.it was downright blackguard-
ism OF the worst description. Such ordinations as

Avonia?' and when he imprints kiss upon her
chaste lips the uproar was something overwhelming.
In the midst OF the most pathetic passages hre-
crackers were let off with loud bang. The Count
being very lame with rheumatism could only move
in the most angular fashion, and the audience kept
time to his gait by shouting out "Right! or Left"
he put his right or LETT leg forward. Once tho
Count even encouraged this innocent piece OF FUN by
keeping exact time, and then turning round with
serene smile he waved OIL his scofers. After
having wooed and won Lady Anne, his tri-
umpnant SOnlOQuy was Drukcn ny WuO1,

melted. and. starting forward with smile. he was
about commencing speech. but was unable to make
his voice heard above the din. At last, when mo-
ments silence restored. he said, II will make my
speech my benefit night" which evoked ire
mendous cheers. The performance OF Count Joannes
was most pitiable exhibition Of old. lame bent
and broken piece of human machinery going through
such gloomy and depressing cOntortons and grimaces
as might have made, indeed the angels weep. But
as there were none of these present it wonder
that mockery and ridicule the results. The

for years used another Ink. Taking
samples Of the two inks to a chemist,

In THE Coils OF a BLACK SNAKE
Flora Agnew, IL years old living in
New York city, has been visiting at the
house of her uncle, Henry Burns. two
and a half miles north OF Hunters
Range, Pa. She was frequently gone
with her cousin. a girl about the same
as herself, to drive the cows to pasture.
Last Saturday morning her cousin was
sick, and Flora went alone with the
cows. When she had driven them TO
the pasture she started for the house,
but becoming tired she sat down on a
nossy mound to rest. She had hardly
seated herself before she saw huge
black snake coiled on cluster OF laurel
bushes. She screamed and started to
run, but the snake darted at her and
circled itself about her body. She cried
at the top Of her voice and ran, with
the snake drawing its folds tighter aud
tighter around her, till she fell down
with fright and exhaustion. Her cries
brought her uncle, who cut the snake
in two With his knife and released her.
II was some time before the little girl
could speak. The imprint OF the snakes
folds was left on her body. The snake
measured six feet FIVE inches in length
