DIR. CLYDE, THE NEW COMEDY.-Seldom
has there been play produced here which
met with warmer reception tdan was ten
dered to FOrd's Comedy Company in g. DR..
Clyde" at the Theatre last night. From
beginning to end the audience was kept in
a roar OF laughter, and it seemed difficult
to decide what portion OF the play was most
enjoyable. T.ere was no hitch Whatever
in the Performance, and the members OF the
east were familiar with their respective
parts.
OF the female characters in this most
amusing comedy IT can be SAID that they are
excellent. Miss Belle Mackenzie, a Emily
Clyde, The pretty little daughter OF DR..
clyde. though already graat fayorie in
Richmond, won many additional admirers
last evening.
The counting scene between the beautiful
Emily" ard her ardent admircr, Tot
bury Simms" Or. John Z. Rcihert). was
highly amusing, and was the feature OF the
entertainment.
AS for " Higgins" OR. George ". Den
ham, and Margaret" (MrS. j. Germon),
they were simply immense. Mr.. Denham
is a comedian OF high order, and III this
play cannot be eXcelled.
Miss Rosa Rand as Lady Hammond
and Mr. Robert J.. Downing rs Lord
Hammond" and in fact the entire company,
acted admirably. The honors OF tie eve
ming were shared by all in the cast.

Few women would have the enterprise
and audacty, not TO speak Of the wicked
ness. to wreck railway train in order TO
get rid OF an Objectionable husband, and
then sue the company for camages. But
such woman has been found at the town
OF Evart, Mich, and has been arrested, to-
gelher with her brothers, for committing
the crime as long ago rs last November
Her name is Mrs. NevinS, and her brothers
are Frank and William ReXford. Having
obstructed the track OF the Evart aud Osce-
ola road, they threw the engine into ditch,
fatally lnjuring The engineer, John Nevins,
the fireman, Peter Ross, and a passenger,
Charles Deldde. The first two died
in three hours, aud the third in twenty
eight hours. Mrs. NevinS having been On
very bad terms with her husband, and bay
ing been heard TO make threats egainst
him, had been suspected, but nothing cOuId
be proved against her. Finally detective
sought her out, pretended he wanted 10
marry her, and so gained her confidence.
He proposed at first 10 aid her in her plan
for obtaining damages from tue railway Tor
the death of her husband, and next 10 marry
her. Then lie would get his life insured
for some S30, 1000; cut hole Ill the ice on

securing the insurance-money they would
enjoy Themselves abroad. She was delighted
with the scheme, saving that he vas Just
the man she had been looking for she
suggested her brothers as the witnesses,
who, for liberal sum, would make oath as
TO his drowning. AS the detective eX-
pressed some fear that they might lack the
courage to commit perjury. she told him,
as a proof Of their nerve, that they had put
the log on the railway which had caused
the supposed accident. He assumed TO
be satisfied. They were to journey 10
Muskegon to get married, as he pretend
ed; but he telegraphed the police to ar
rest them when they should arrive there.
The detective. John Malutte, having In
duced her on arrival TO tell the whole story
| in room where witnesses were concealed,
She was promptly taken into custody, and
her brothers soon after. II might be pru-
dent for persons intending TO travel by rail
in Michigan TO inquire beforehand how the
engineers OF the trains they take are re-
garded by their wives. Mrs. Nevins must
be an agreeable woman TO set up co0pera-
tive housekeeping with.-Ne,o York Times.

An Enormous RattIesnake.

While Mrs. Charles Wells, residing at
Woodtown, Pike county, Penn, was
passing through piece of woods short
time ago, she was suddenly startled by
a rafting noise, which seemingly came
from no great distance. She stopped to
listen, and the sound was repeated.
Mrs. Wells knew it to be that of a
rattlesnake. Thinking the reptile was
in the brush alongside the road, she
started on, She had taken but a few
steps when she saw, few feet in front
of her, lying coiled in the road, with its
head erect and its tongue darting, a
monster rattlesnake. The reptile con.
tinued to rattle. and showed no inclina-
tion to get out of the way. Mrs. Wells was
accustomed to seeing snakes--the local
ity abounds with them-and she gath
cred up several large missiles, and,
approaching within a few feet of the
reptile, opened warfare upon it. The
battle was of brief duration, for we'll
directed stone struck the reptile, render
ing it helpless. She then showered a
volley of stones upon her antagonist,
and soon dispatched it. The snake
measured nearly five feet, and was the
largest one of his species that has beer
killed in that neighborhood for severa
years. Within five miles of the spo
where this snake was killed is th,
famous Ball Hill rattlesnake dens, a
which "Sam" Helms, n celebrated
snake catcher and tanner, used to captur,
most of the snakes which he exhibite.

living American women, remarkable
for their beauty. Daintiest of letter

August.

Gay trips along through morning dew
Bright August, clad in rosy hue;
And all the hills their voices raise
And myriad soogsters sing her praise.
Her reign is one OF quiet grace;
The soitest bushes wreathe her face;
Sweet scents she pours out to the breeze
She gilds the fruit on bending trees;
Her wand she lifts DER fields of grain,
And gladdens earth with tides OF rain.
The sun may scorch, but still she showers
Refreshing dew on dropping flowers;
And boards OF good cheer August fiingeth
And bounteous blessings August bringeth.
SO pleasantly, sweet month, thou comest now /;
At thy approach the curled com blades bow,
And as thy perlumed breezes slowly pass,
New daisies smile above the treshened grass
Or when thy copious moisture fills the land
The parched lips of earth with Joy expand.
Now gather we the pumpkin yellow,
With luscious apples, ripe and mellow;
Safe from the rain the sheaves OF grain
The bursting granaries fully fill;
While meath the hill the cider mill
Awaits the heavy-loaded vain.
In shadeiess paths the fevered, painting sun
Its Silly fight through tervid paths ascends,
TIL sulIen Sitius his race hath run,
And August's dreamy, dallying influence
blends
With lustier September in the end;
Then gloddening breezes from the signing west
At eventide shall bring us longed-ior rest.

Never Quite Content.

Rev. Robert Collyer holds that il is
both the curse and blessing of Ameri-
can life that we are never quite con-
tent. We all expect to go somewhere
before we die, and have better timu
when we get there than we can have at
home. The bane of our life is discon.
tent We say we will work so long,
and then we will enjoy ourselves. But
we find it just as Thackeray has cx-
pressed it. "When l was boy" he
said, 81 wanted some tatfy--it was
q shilling-I hadn't one. When | was
man l had a shilling, but l didn't
want any taffy." But we say not one
wori against that splendid discomfort
that all the while makes man strike
for something better. We like this idea
that every boy born in America dreams
of being President. No man has any
right to be content to do his best, and
not to do better to-morrCw than he
is doing to day. But all that will come
by keeping close to a manly and dutiful
lie.
While we are going steadily along
to whatever future awaits us, the grand
est thing we can do is to feel sure that
what we are doing for a days work,
with all that we do besides, is just the
most blessed thing, 50 far as we can do,
and that we are very likely having the
best time that can ever come to our life
that this work, and wife and home and
children, all they are and all they mean
| beat the world.
The saddest thing in our life is oul
| discomfort when we ought to be more
contented. 1t is our birthright to gel
the good of life as we go along, in thest
,mple and pure things that to all true
man and womanhood are like rain anC
sunshine to an apple tree. But wher
we do not believe this, and dream thai
the best CT our life is to come when w,
have made our fortune, then we sell oul
birthright for mess of pottage. Blu
worse than ESau, the pottage gives III
the dyspepsia, and then we lose tn,
good of birthright and pottage together

At Evening.

Upon the hills the wind is sharp and cold,
The sweet young grasses wither on the wold,
And we, oh, Lord, have wandered from thy
lold;
But evening brings US home.
Among the mists we stumbled, and the rocks,
Where the brown lichen wh,tens, and the fox
Watches the straggler from the scattered
flocks;
But evening brings us home.
The sharp thorns prick us, and our tender feet
Are cut and bleeding, and the lombs repeat
heir pitiiul complaints-oh, lest is sweet,
When evening brings us home.
We have been wounded by the hunters darts,
Dur eyes are very heavy, and our hearts
Search for thy coming--when the light departs,
At evening bring us home.
The darkness gathers. Through the gloom
no star
Rises to guide us. We have wandered far.
Without thy lamp W know not where we are
At evening bring us home
The clouds are around us, and the snow drifts
thicken,
Oh, thou, dear shepherd, leave us not to sicken
In the waste night-our tardy footsteps
quicken;
At evening bring US home.
