Answer to Many Correspondents,

In reply to numerous inquiries from
our readers, concerning the wonderful
qualities OF the Great German Remedy,
ST. JACOBS aforementioned in our last
issue we would inform them that the
article can be obtained from our retail
druggists, or by their aid. Ask for st.
Jacobs Oil, and il the dealer does not
keep it in stock, he will be able TO pro,
cure it in few days from the wholesale
houses. We understand that there Is
already an immediate demand for the
remedy, which is not so very surprising
when il is considered what it is daily
accomplishing in the way OF relief and
cures, bordering, in some instances, on
the miraculous.

"KIRRy COW" AND "sHAUN RHuE."

"KERRY COW" AND "sHAUN RHuE."
Tonight Joseph Murphy opens with
his specially written play, the Kerry
Cow and should be greeted by hne
house.
OF Joe Murphy the Providence Journal
saws: This excellent comedian, under
the management of q. A. Mortimer, APP
peared at the Providence Queen Opera
House all through the week, and not
only scored an artistic success, but
pecuniary one. The excellent and
familiar Kerry Cow" was the bill the
first week, and it was played finely. VI
Mr.. Murphy it is needless to say he is
one OF the best Irish comedians on the
boards, if not the best. kerry Cow,
as play, has but one rival, the "Shaugh'
raun." The support was tirst-class in
every way, Miss Young's Norah Drew
being a splendid piece OF emotional act
ing. Luke Martin and Others in the
cast deserve unqualified praise. Mr..
Murphy's new play, "Shaun Rhue.' was
a success. 1t is less domestic than
"Kerry Cow" but the dialogue and plot
are equally interesting. The support
could not have been improved. The
scenery in kerry Cow" was very fne
indeed
Tomorrow night the "Shaun Rhue'
will be presented,

and after turning them from him, slap
ned them and replacing his hand before
they could turn. This wasa remarkable
TACT and was properly applauded.
The performance closed with the cele-
brated Undertaking. act Miss Craw-
ford was placed in the Cabinet, q
rope tied about her neck and
the ends drawn through holes in the
frame and tied. When the lights were
turned low, she "materialized, " that is,
came to the door of the cabinet in misty
white. This was not explained, either,
though Baldwin's solution is still fresh
in the minds of our readers. This closed
a performance which was quite inter
esting Of itself and well enlivened by the
professors running fire OF talk.

Serious Charge Against Public School
Teacher.


Charges of unwarranted severity upon
Frank Gilbreath, one of the pupils in
the Seventh ward public school, by his
teacher, were laid before Superintendent
Hervey on Saturday last. The affair
has produced deep feeling among the
patrons of the school, and it was at the
urgent request of several OF them that
the Superintendent was made aware OF
the facts. The following statement is
taken from the accounts as given by
eye-witnesses of the punishment, as
well as from some persons who
saw the condition OF the boy
twenty-fours after the sO-called
punishment was inflicted. The causes
which led to it are told as follows: The
teacher had made drawing of some
kind upon the blackboard, and it is said
nearly all the boys made some remark
or other about it. Frank Gilbreath ex-
pressed his opinion that the tongue was
at the back of the neck of the object.
The teacher hear the remark and call
ing him out before the boys ordered
MIN to remove his coat and vest. After
he had done so, and when there was
nothing remaining upon his body ex-
cept a thin calico shirt, she beat him
with a strap until his back, body and
stomach were marked and bruised in
some six or eight places, some of them
at least three inches in length by one
and a half in width. The effect of the
beating has been that in addition to the
injuries already named, the boy has a
return Of chronic complaint OF which
he was thought to have been entirely
cured.
Superintendent Hervey has promised to
investigate the charge to-day, and it is
said. should the case 90 before the Board
of Education, the foregoing statements
will be supported by affidavit.

hundred out Of two hundred and twenty-five

cannot afford to have the imultatiOn of cru

men commit crime We believe they mtght TO

upon the subject as to the manner in which
IL should be inflicted. There is, however, Il
great difference between furnishing a criminal

on the perpetrators of the abominable cruel
tics upon these unhappy victims OF the raw;
