Rumor has 1t that the Baroness Burdctt-
Coutts has determiaetY tc' contribute $780,
600, or about &2.50o. 900, for the relief Of
the famine stricken Irish. II this be true,
the Baroness Is the greatest philanthropist
and humanitarian OF which we have any
account 10 ancient or modern times. An
instance of charity on 80 magnificent
scale the world has never saw. Such u
munitieent gift has astonished the world.
and some Of the incredulous have intimat-
ed their disbelief in the rumor. II there is
any doubt as to the gilt, nothing more
unwise or cruel could have been conceived.
Thepeople believing that so large sum has
been donated for the suffering ones in Ire
land, in addition to the large sums already
collected and forwarded, will begin to
think and ask ''Wiat call Is there ior
more charity? The famine district en-
braces only part of Ireland. and the vast
sums already collected ough. to meet all
the exikeFtics of the OCCASION" Nothing
seems more certain tlIan that the distress
for food in Ireland has not been overtlrawn.
therefore II the rumor of the gin OF the
Baroness Is but hoax. the poor starving
Irish will be the sufferers, rs 1t will close
the purse-strings Of thousands who would
otherwise have given literally of their
substance.

AMusEaENrs.-The Pathfinders gavetheir
initial performance last night to tolera-
bly, good house. This troupe is con.
siderably after the style OF the Salisbury
Troubadours, and in some instances the
resemblance Is striking. Scraps" was

night. 1t is a history Of a little pleasure
excursion by water, OF party OF two la
dies, two gentlemen and fifth wheel in
the form OF ludicrous black African at
tendant When they first appear ii is at
the steamboat landing, and discovering
that they have more than two hours to
wait, they decide to pass the time in songs,
choruses, picnicing and miscellaneous fun.
The two hours and halfof waiting covers
the whole affair, and the curtain does not
fall until the close. Each one OF the five
contributes a big armful Of themeritsoi the
entertainment. The singing and the iml-
tations were the chief features. An Incl.
dental exhibition before the excursionits,
brings in the wonderful acrobats, the
"Aiilton Jaspers," who perform apparent
~ impossible ieats, and are received with
great applause. The stage settings and APP
pointments have been carefully perfected.
The steamboat is mechanical success.
This afternoon there will be matinee,
and tonight will close the engagement.

Company is booked for next Saturday
night. This company is more highly,
spoken Of than any now on.the road, and
