HavERIYs THEATRE-CHANFRAU,

Mr. Spencer's weIl-known melodrama Of Kit"
was produced at Hayerly's Theatre last Monday
night and has been repeated each evening this
week to good business. The piece was long ago
particularly described IN this journal. II is one OF
the strongest plays of its kind with which we are
acquainted and it contains those delightful Old
beats" TIE Judge and The Major, in which Charles
Leslie Allen and Dan Maginness made such MEM
or.bIe comic hit Mr.. Chanfrau impersonates the
rough Western man, hit-hah hero and half des-
porado-with great power and feeling, and presents
shining achievement In the highest grade OF melo-
dramatic acting. His work ispicturesque, romantic.
and full of humanity; and it Is drawn and finished
with unerring professional skill. Continuity OF
popular success is not always nor often guarantee
of EXCELLENCE but in this case it has exceptional
meaning Mr. Chanfrau has made work of art
ont of the toughest materials, and by this means no
has maintained KIT in steady popularity for many
years. His present success Is OF piece with his
past experience.
On Wednesday afternoon, at Haverly's Theatre,
Mr.. c. W. 1ayleuse's play Of The New East
Lynne" was acted-and this Will be repeated toe

MISS DAyENpoRTs REPRESENTATIONS.

MISS DAVENPORTS REPRESENTATIONS.
The first week of Miss Fanny Davenports engage
ment-which began on Christmas afternoon, ut the
Fifth Avenue Theatre-has been devoted to Ca
milep and "The School for Scandal" and it VIII be
concluded this evening with " London Assurance
and Oliver TWIST Miss Davenport is thus visi-
BILE in the characters of Camille Lady 1edste, Lady
Gay SPEAKER, and Nancy. This well-known actress
has been received with interested attention and with
kindness and herein her efforts have been well re-
warded. The attractive personal beauty, the dash,
and the force Of Miss Davenport were long since
recognized in this community, and need not now DO
bill was not a fortunate one. The local stage has
had far more than enough of Camille; and IL
there be one part for which, more than another,
Miss Davenport is totally unfit, physically and in
temperament it is the part of Camille Her comedy
presentations are much more characteristic and ap-
propriate. Her real, and somewhat exceptional
strength, meantime, resides in strong character
parts-such as Ruth Tredgett in NJ. W. s. Gilberts
play of Charity and Nancy in "Oliver Twist"
The nature that she displays in them to be sure is
deficient in depth and her artistic method Of treat
ment is slender and almost fragile; but the nature,
SO far as it goes is sincere one, and the method IL
capable and efficient. There is not much more TO be
said, in the public interest, about such works as
those Of Miss Davenport; in the interest OF the ac-
tress herself there has already been liberal expen-
dir e Of elOquenco all round the compass MISS
Davenport will remain at the Fifth Avenue Thea
ire another week and will be in several add.
tional characters of her repertory.

sustained severe losses, and that its resources
have been TO some extent exhausted by ABSORB

that unusual and excessive speculation mas
done much harm and that legislation has not
been of the wisest. But frank recognition

good than any attempt to ignore them

but Mr.. Scoville dispclled this pleasing pros

GUITEAU ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE.

10 illustrate the profits of cat
tie raising in Texas, we take the
liberty OF publishing a brief est =
mate OF the success attained by a
friend OF ours during the past eight
years. In 1873 the gentleman re.
Tered TO owned about 5000 cattle
which he offered with his horses
rance, etc, for $4,000, but could
find no purchaser, and was forced
to hold on 20 his cattle. Last
year he sold from the same stock
100000 worth of beet, and this
year has already contracted to one
party over 100000 worth of beeves
In addition he expects to sell and
snip this season $4,000 worth out
of the stock, making the sale
this year amount to over $50, 900
and still has on bis range 10000
head of cattle and, 400 head Of
good horses, outfits, etc., amount
ing to the snug little sum of 800,
600. -Four hundred thousand dol.
lars worth of stock and probably
that amount IN cash from a S25, 900
stock in eight years. is convincing
evidence that there is money IN
cattle business in Texas. These
figures are not exagerations, but
are given as facts; and of our own
knowledge has not been due to
speculation, but TO the simple
legitimate increase Of the stock
the plan persued during these
eight years being 10 sell annually
a lot of beeves and at once rein
vest the money thus received in
young cattle.
The gentleman whose success
we here record is our life long
friend Dan Wagner of Wise
county. In the future issue we
shall give the experience of some
equally good friends, who have
been farming in western Texas
for the last eight or ten years and
see how the records compare

The Wichita Eagle tells a story
which is credited to the surgical
skill Of DIR. Bliss, one of the Pres

Steele, Of that place, was, in the
movement to break the Weldon
railroad, shot through the head
the ball entering between the
ear and the corner Of the left eye
passing back of the eyes and
lodging against the inside Of his
skull on the opposite side Of the
head, where IL made large frac-
ture of the skull and embedded
itself. A Philadelphia surgeon
wanted to take the ball out on the
side where IL lay, but DIR. Bliss
who was an assistant surgeon al

General Harmon declares il was
no use to do anything; that he
must DIE. Bliss maintained thai
