BOUND TO CoME.--Only little while,
vain man, only little while and when you
come home from the Office at even or noon,
the wife Of your bosom will meet you at the
door with an anxious look in her eye and a
fly brush OF an apron in her hand. She
will hold the door open just three inches
for you to crowd yourself through, and as
you make hopeless efforts to slide in through
that space, above your head and under your
feet aaa around your legs that fly brush will
whirl and nestle like reckless meteor, and
when you finally crowd in and two flies fol-
low you, the goddess of your home will bang
the door end weep and say that she can go
in and oW of that door fifty times day,
and never pass fly inside, while you can't
come into the house without bringing mil
lions Of them in with you. 1t is hard, poor
man, we know it isn't fair on you, and it
isn't just, but it's got to come, and you
might just as well make up your mind to
stand it.-BWlmyton Uawhcyc.

Revival Of"The Exiles."

"The Exiles" is play des' ined to long
er life and greater popularity than most Of
its kind and it will be sure of interesting
and enthusiastic audiences whenever it is
produced Mr.. Walcot as N. Schelin may
fairly challenge comparison for an i'm
personaton lust in conception at once
conscientious and artistic in execution
and in all respects mastery. Mr.. Atkins
Lawrence as Mar de L,Ssieres was lack
ing in finish and marred by nervousness
but otherwise it was very creditable and
made a favorable impression. Mrs. Wal
cot and Miss Creese sustained two trying
roles very satisfactory. The rest OF the
cast was numerous, resplendent and equal
to the occasion. The ball room, and con-
servatory, the Siberian wood, the jury
mans hut and the conf1agration were
masterpieces of the scene painters and
the stage carpenters while the reindeer,
the dogs aud the goats were all there and
played their parts without any OF the
usual recalcitrancy.-Pha. Bulletin.
The above play will be formed here
on next Friday and Saturday evenings
and a matinee will be given on Saturday

drunk to be on the street, and one of
them replied that they were going home.
lie told them it was ali right, and pro-
ceedcd OH his beat, but soon afterwards
met the same two men on King street,
near Fifth. lie then decided to arrest
them, and took one, named Mandy Has
san, but the other escaped. Hassan pro-
ceeded quietly along until he arrived at
Fifth and Market streets, when lie sud-
| deuly turned upon the officer and struck
him a violent blow under the left eye.
lie followed this assault by clutchiDg
at the officers throat, and when officer
Gutchmer responded to his unexpected
assault he broke away and ran across
| Market street.
Gutchmer followed mm closely, when
lIassan again renewed his assault, and
in defence the officer drew his club and
ratified it over Ilassan's head in a lively
manner. Ilassan clnched with the Off

fined in the cells until evening, when la
was given hearing and fined ST ant

was sorry the man was injured, but still
he wanted lis officers to take man Il
3 the hall, and not let him escape, whel
they once started to arrest him.

House, OH Saturday night, was greeted
by tlatlering audience, the auditorium
being crowded, while the galleries were
fairly occupied. The play, of course,
was Grip Van Winkle," and the start
ling fortunes Of the graceless "vagabond
of the Katskills" were portrayed with
that rare power and pathos possessed by
Joseph Jefferson alone. The supporting
company was of more than ordinary abl-
ity, and barring few defeats in the ar
rangement of the scenery, the perform
ance was complete in every respect.

SECOND EDITION
4 just Tribute to Gen. Taylor
New York Sun, April 13.l

New York Sun, April u.
1t is with sincere sorrow that we record
the TACT that General Richard Taylor died
in this city yesterday morning at the
house Of his intimate friend, Mr.. 5. l..
NJ. Barlow. His age was but little over
iiity-thlee, and the disease which so sud-
denly pnt all end to his life was cancer
in the stomach. The only son of Gen.
Zachary Taylor, he graduated at Yale
College in ls45, served in the Mexican
war as member of his fathers stall,
being present at the battles of Palo Alto,
Resaca de la Palma and Monterey. Du-
ring his fathers brief period OF service
as President the son remained with him
| in Washington, and thenceforward, until
the breaking out of the civil war in 1861,
lie lived as a sugar planter in Louisiana,
devollng himself to the care Of his estate
| and to the acquisition of those extraordi-
nary stores OF historical knowledge the
possession of which rendered him one of
| the most instructive and fascinating con-
| versationalists whom it has ever been ou.'
| fjrtune to encounter.
Originally Wing and Union man,
he formed no exception TO that almost
unanimous adherence to the secession
cause which swept away the gentlemen
of the South at the approach OF the civil
war. As colonel Of Louisiana volun-
teers, he arrived in Virginia with his reg-
ment in June, 1861, and not long after
wards was made a eadier-general i'll
the Confederate forces, He served under
Stonewall Jackson in Virginia, and afler
the seven days battles around Richmond
became major-general and was sent to
Louisiana, where he remained in active
service until the end of the wa. lie
was made lieutenant general in 1854,
and on the final collapse of the Confed-
crate cause surrendered to Gen. Candy
at Mobile.
As military commander General lay
lor was bold, judicious and successful
and those who have perused the striking
volume of his "Reminiscences" which
has lately been published will easily un.
derstand that the eminence he attained
in the civil war was due alike to the
originality and dash of his character and
the soundness of his judgment. Since
the war he has continued to reside in
New Orleans, though much of his time
has been spent in this city and in Lon
don, where has repeatedly been called by
important business missions.

A WARNING.

New York in her humane laws is far
ahead of barbaro,ls Delaware. Such a
thing is not thought Of as tying tender
little calf by the legs for long hours be-
fore the time and then tossing it pell nell

with II or 10 others all piled up in one
struggling mass of agony. They have
cattle carts in which are large boxes with
Stats on the sides and top, and calves are
taken to the depot decently and without
such scenes of shocking cruelty as are
witnessed at Edgemoor almost every day
in the week aud farmers in the vicinity
