Mrs. yvinslew's Soothing Syrup.

Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the
Boston Christian Freeman: We would BY
no means recommend any kind Of medicine
which we do not know to be good, particular
ly for infants. But of Mrs. Winslow's Sooth-
ing Syrup we can speak from knowledge: in
eur own family it has proved a blessing in
deed, by giving an infant troubled with collie
pains, quiet sleep and unbroken rest at night.
Most parents can appreciate these blessings.
Here is an article which works to perfection,
and which is harmless: for the sleep which it
affords the infant is perfectly natural and the
little cherub awakes as s.bright as a button -
And during the process of teething, its value
is incalculable, We have frequently heard

The Mississippi Frauds.

Mr.. Lynch is not waiting for Congress
to investigate the frauds in the ''Shoe-
string District With courage which
does him great credit he has taken the
matter into the United States Court, and
has caused the arrest of the County Com

as Canvassing Board, threw out 2.029

rem county commissioners. all strong par
tisans and personal associates Of Chal-
mers, committed this impudent and glar-
ing crime against the suffrage. Their
performance is so exceptionally vaillainous
even for State where trickery at cleo
tons is common occurrence, that the
vicksburg Herald cries out against it.

'.violation of the law. breach of the
democratic platform: and, unless it is
denounced and disowned, will return to

talk even for newspaper with the

they get their deserts. Their offence is
plainly defined by section 5,515 of the re-

punishable by "a fine of not more than

II. M. S. PINAFoRE. The first night of
Pinafore opened auspiciously From the
ringing Of the managers bell to the going
down of the curtain in the last act the
opera was a grand success. While it would
obviously be unfair to apply to amateurs the
same canOns of dramatic criticisms as to
professional actors, yet we are not sure but
that the performance by our home talent last
evening would make many troupes of con-
siderable pretensions look to their laurels.
At eight o'clock the orchestra struck up The
familiar music Of the perennaly popular
Pinafore airs. The curtain rose, disclosing
group of natty looking tars on the good
ships deck. The opera is so universally
known that description would be an I'M
necessary task. The characters were well
taken, and the audience applauded each
brilliant bit of singing or acting to the echo.
Mr.. Illsley Noyes as Sir Joseph was well
made up; but he lacks life, and his tones
were almost inaudible in the rear of the hall.
W. }. Landers of Gardiner as Captain Cor
coran, entered heartily into the spirit of his
part. He has sweet but not powerful voice,
and his style of acting is animated and appro-
pirate. He is especially good in his part of the
duet ''The Merry Maiden and the Tar" Mr..
James E. Conley of Boston who impersonated
"Ralph," deserves unstinted praise. He is
just the right age for dashing, gallant sailor
lover; and his manly bearing and splendid
form, united with a sweet and well-trained
tenor voice, took the hearts of audience by
storm. The Josephine" of Miss Baldwin
was almost equal to the ''Ralph" of Mr.
Conley. She has a rich soprano voice, and
is very piquant actress. She was par
ticularly happy in her rendering of THE
Hours Creep on Apace," and was rewarded
by beautiful bouquet and tempest of ap-.
plause. We cannot say too much of Miss
Annie Hatch as "Cousin Hebe." She is charm
ing in tina: role, and her sweet clear intona-
tons and captivating manners won all hearts.
She was the recipient of an elegant bouquet
We must speak of Miss Jennie Whtehouse
as Little Buttercup," in a similar strain.
Her artless ways and happy conception of the
scope OF her part, are deserving of special
mention. She was also rewarded with
bouquet. 1t was worth the price of admission
to hear Perley Milliken render ale is an
Englishman." His voice is a deep, round,
mellow, bass, just suited for the air. Harry
De Witt made an excellent 'sDick Deadeye,
and elected a generous share of favorable
female-was splendid, and the effect when
the stage was covered with the gaily dressed
middies and 'scousins and sisters and aunts,
was very pretty. We anticipate an immense
house tonight.
