Bob IngersoH.

The great orator, Bob Ingersoll, whose
fame has already extended from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, promises to lecture in st. Paul
next Thursday evening. The simple an
nouncement is sufficient to pack the Opera
House to its utmost capacity. While Mr..
Ingersoll's theological views may not meet
with the approval of everybody, he has still
much to say that will interest the public at
large-a few moral ideas that may be heard
with profit. Religious and secular people
alike will wish to hear what ho has to say
on ssThe Religions of Our Day.''

"Humpty Dumpty" Last Night-Wilhelmj
Tuesday-Bob Ingersoll Thursday.

HMnepty DunsDty.
The Opera House was crowded last even
ing to it's utmost capacity to witness the
presentation of the well-worn though ever
popular "Humpty Dumpty." The company
selected by Tony Denier is probably the
best ever seen in st. Paul, all the people
being perfect in their business. Grimaldi,
as the clown, was rarely proficient, his facial
expression conveying world of merriment
at every stage of the pantomime. He ex-
hibits great improvement since he was
here last September, showing care an dapplica-
ton in the rendition of his role. He is now
but little, if any inferior to Fox, whose
reputation was made in the character. G.
F. Fox, as pantaloon, could not we'll be ex-
celled, while Miss Ada Boshell, as columbine,
and William Eunice as harlequin, were all
that could be desired. In face the play was
put npon the stage in an unexceptionable
manner, and the continual roar of laughter
that greeted the antics of the performance
was an evidence of the satisfaction with
which it was received by the audience.
The variety interlude was admirable in all
of its parts, Notwithstanding the sudden
illness of Mr.. Williams, which prevented
his appearance in the saltatorial sketches for
which he was advertised. Miss Moulton
gave very chaste and neat performance
with Indian clubs; Miss Victoria North sang
couple of ballads very acceptably;. Mr..
Diamond gave his songs and dance
with harp accompaniment (played BY
himself) to the delight of the audience;
while Venus and Adonis, two petite artists,
entertained the spectators with parlor skate
and veloclpede exhibitions. Taken all in all,
no more enjoyable performance has been
witnessed in st. Paul since Tony, who prides
himself on his good looks, was here last
fall.
This afternoon matinee, for the especial
benefit of ladies and children, will be given
at O'Clock. The prices have been fixed at
25 and SO cents, with no reserved seats. In
the evening the usual performance will be
given. 1t is safe to say that the house will
be crowded at each performance.

One of Deacon smiths BOYS,


Mr. W. j. Shaw, one of the small burrs
that run in the outrage mill of the Gin
cinnati Gazette, came to sudden grief at
Beattyville last week. 1t seems he had
been turning with the centrifugal force
of footpad through the mountains of
Kentucky when he came to the vicinity
of the capital city of Lee County, where
there happened to be detective agency,
and where he was arrested as horse
thief.
1t seems he was picked up by an ennis
sary of the agency when about four miles
from that place; was securely tied and
carried in as answering the description
of bad devourer of horse-hesh. Shaw is
Il man forty years of age, five feet four
and half inches tall, with gray ewes,
dark hair, and weighing about one hun
dred and twenty pounds; whereas the de-
scription of the horse-tancier read: Age,
twenty-six; height, five feet nine;weight,
100, and black eyes.
When he appealed to the parties who
had him in charge, and begged them to
note the discrepancy between his appear
ance and theRrinted description" they
said it was not material, as he was evi-
IDENTIFY tramp, and suspected of being
suspicious" He was held in durance
vile four days, or thereabouts, and finally
released upon his own recognizance. He
says he is now satisfied that whatever
may be the crimes of other parts of the
State there are no outrages in the noun
tains of Kentucky.

The Collie and the Provost.

About thirteen years ago, now de-
ceased medical man, residing near Elin-
burgh, possessed favorite collie, Cheviot
by name. The incident am about to
relate l may mention, was related to me
by the son of the gentleman in question,
both father and son, along with a per-
fectly disinterested party, having corrob-
grated the facts. The then Provost of
the burgh in which Cheviot resided, had
issued an interdict against unmuzzled
dogs during the dog days" and Cheviot
submitted with no good grace to the
operation of securing his jaws.
Frequently Cheviots master and the
members of the family spoke, in the
dogs hearing, in no measured terms of
the cruelty OF the Provost's order. But
the end of the "dog days" came, and
Cheviots muzzle was removed. On the
afternoon of the day of liberation the
Provost called on Cheviot's master, to
say that in the morning he, had heard a
dog whining at his front door.
The Provost opened the door; Chew
lot was in waiting, his muzzle in his
mouth, One look at the Provost, and
the muzzle was dropped at his feet, Chev-
lot scampering of in the highest glee, as
if delighted 10 have had the opportunity
Of laying the cause of his grievance at
the door of his enemy.
