est City a poor widow-wretchedly
poor she was, too-clad in thin and
threadbare garments, boarded the
cars carry ing a pair of twins in her
arms, with another little fodder at
her skirts, She had no money, and
this becoming known to the passen-
gers, a b%right-eyed, handsome young
lady was noticed to rise from her scat
and hold a short interview with the
destitute, tbin-visaged feminine. A
few moments after, the bril- ht-eyed
lady went among the passengers to

ly and beautiful actress, to appear at
our theater to night. Some may af-

have this incident mentioned, but it is
not 50. The particulars were learned
from a stranger to the party and he
says the fair lady possesses one of the
finest and most benevolent faces he
ever saw. She will doubtless be a
little surprised when she sees herself

artists, SO at least say those who have
seen them, and they have enjoyed, as
they have deserved, a very successful
tour through Texas and the south
generally. Let them be sent away

oressions.
