ADJUSTMENTS.

Shaun Rhue made a hit last night.
There was a large audience, che upper
portion of the theatre being full, and
the dress. circle as well as the par
quette exhibited no vacant seats. 1t
was a welcome calculated to inspire
any troupe to extra exertion, and
Joseph Murphy had good cause to
feel complimented at the cordial re-
ception extended him. His new play
possesses much genuine merit, being a
melodrama full of excitement and
with humorous features interspersed
throughout the whole so %cleverly
planned that when properly illustrated
by such an excellent troupe as Mr..
Murphy has, it could not fail to be
successful. Mr.. Fred Marsden,
its author, has written a number of
popular pieces for Lolita and others.
Several have become established fav-
orites with the public, their bright
features and entertaining by plots,
winning well with all play-goers.
None of Mr.. Marsden's literary eff
forts, however, do him more credit
than Shaun Rhue, and Mr.. Joseph
Murphy doubtless appreciates its SUI
periorty. Himself and company we're
in the best possible temper last
night and the play ran smoothly from
first to last. The audience was more
than satisfied with their efforts as was
testified by repeated outbursts of en-
thusiasm, and several calls before the
curtain made upon Mr., Murphy each
time gracefully acknowledged. To.
night Mr.. Murphy will present his
favorite play, Kerry Cow, and to-
morrow afternoon Shaun Rhue will b.
repeated.

. A Famous Town.


About five weeks ago fire broke out
in the little town of Urfa, better known
to the European public by its biblical
name OF Ur, and highly venerated
throughout the Orient as the birthplace
Of Abraham. The house in which that
celebrated patriarch was born is still
standing in Urfa; it is called "Bet
Chall Allah house of Gods friend
and hundreds of pious pilgrims visit it
annually. When the conhagration took
place on the Oath of January, many of
the inhabitants of Urfa took refuge in
Abraham's dwelling, and carried thither
all their valuables persuaded that the
flames would respect the structure in
which so holya parsonage first saw the
light of day. Strange to say, their faith
in the inviolability of this ancient sane
tuary was justified by events; for while
the fire ragged all night long in Urfa, de-
stroying a large number of houses in the
vicinity of s. Bet Chalil Allah, )" that edi-
fee, as we'll as one or two buildings inn
mediately adjacent to it, remained abso-
lutely unharmed. This triumphant vim
dication of it's protecting virtue has, 80
it would appear, greatly enhanced it's
reputation for sanctity; and doubtless the
pecuniary results of the present years
pilgrimagesa will enable the Urites to
s,,rmount their losses by fire in highly
satisfactory manner ,sc;9 z...f5s :.:s.s. -.
