Bayt0s as "D07sieL Dresce."

Mr.. f. q. Bangs, the eminent TRACE
dian, will appear at the Grand Opera
House OH Friday and Saturday evenings,
in his great impersonatit n of "Daniel
Druce," in the play Of that name. Or
the play and the player the Baltimore
Herald says: 49,
1t is a most mastery and finished piece
of acting, and carries the sympathles Of
the house with him from first to last.
The play is intensely thrilling in charac-
ter, by W. S. Gilbert, the author of the
"Pinafore" libretto, and the scene Is laid
in the days of the Parliamentary wars in
England. Druce, the blacksmith, having
his wife and child stolen from him ny
the cavalier, Sir Jasper Coomoe, turns
miser, and is visited in his hut by the
very man who had wroneed him, he not
knowing him, accompanied by the in
fant. Pursued by the Round"eads Sir
Jasper leaves the child and makes oil
with the mser's gold. Touched by the
sight of the infant Daniels heart is warm
ed, and he resolves to adopt it as his own
daughter, not knowing that she is. Sir
Jasper afterward claims her as his child,
and number of thrilling scenes occur.
All ends happily, as by the confession of
the knight Daniel finds Dorothy TO be
his own child, and she is united to hel
lover, Godfrey Wynard.

FOUND AT LAST.

Some years ago, as Mississippi river
steamboat came up to river landing, D
tall, unyainly, gawkish looking fellow,
leaning against wood pile, attracted the
attention of the passengers, one of whom,
talkative and conspicuous person, re-
marked to his friends that he was going to
have some fun out of that fellow. So he
jumped ashore when the boat landed, and
with great show of tierceness approached
tue fellow. Drawing savage looking
bowie knife, he said:
$50, old fellow, I've found you at last.
You're the man that stole o dog of
mine, and I've sworn to get square with
you. I've been looking for you for o
year.
The gawky lazily opened his eyes in
wondering amazement at frst as though
hs didn't understand it. Then catching
sight of the laughing passengers looking
on from the deck, he took in the situation.
By the time "Smarty" had finished telling
him how long he had been looking for him,
he had taken out of his pocket u fist like a
sledge hammer on the end of the arm of a
windmill. He swung it once and knocked
the man who had been looking for linn
plump into the river. Then resuming his
place against the wood pile, he raised his
eyes to the deck, and with o very lazy
drawl inquired:
"Is there anybody else on this boat look.
