nesseda most excellent rendition
of Ticket Of leave Man aud Bombas-
tee last M''nday evening. After thc
play was under full Roadway tie gen
e s opinion chat the troupe had .sbit-
ten Of more than they could chew ii
quitting on this first play gave way
g the very complimentary one that
the bistorionic talent Of each member
ot the company was Of the sort To-
tackle that 1or any Other
style Of drama. Sam Davis was cast
IA the principal character-Robcrt
Brierley, the Ticket If Leave Man.
Sans reputation as an actor is SO
well established that his easy and
natural manner on the stage, and III
feeling thrown into every sentence,
giving the character se,nblance Of
reality, was no great surprise to the
audience; but The general verdict was
that Idaho City's young star, on this
occasions, shone somewhat brighter
than usual. James Dalton was well
rendered BY T. 4. Barry. 1t is a
very difficult character. Dalton is
q vagabond, who in one scene appears
N the guise Of digni6ed old mer-
chant. Ia this part the change Of
costume and the department and gem
cral bearing being 50 very different
from the first appearance, made the
character anything but easy to take.
Win. Laycpck, as Howkshaw. played
the part OF detective to the letter.
John West, as Meter Moss, made
his first appearance, in the. the
atrical line, at this place. The audi
euce was. not long in discovering that
he was an old hand at the business.
John Monroe made an excellent Green
Jones. John presented the character
III all its verdancy. JAS. Davis, as
Mr.. Gibson, was the right man in the
right place Master Alonzo Hill in
the character Of Sam Willoughby aud
John Garrecht as Maltby, we're good.
John Barry, as Mrs. Wiloughby, an
Irish women, kept the audience in a
roar. John. in comedy, is right
iii his element. The character
lof May Edwards was well sus-
tanned by Mrs. Sue Hill, as
was also that Of Emily St. Evermond
by Miss Nettie Moulton. Drum

days Ven vas Small" by VIM. La

INVITES OF ALMSHOUSES.

There is a prevalent idea that the
almshouses, for the most part, shelter
the unhappy and guiltless poor, whom
r,merciful disaster has followed fast and
followed faster until it has chased them
to this last refuge-people who have
come from vine-covered cottages, or
tidy rooms up one flight of stairs in ten
ement houses, with big Bible on Ia
hle and pot of flowers in the window,
or even from luxurious homes desoiated
by commercial panics. As matter OF
fact the great majority of American in
door paupers belong to what are called
the lowest classes, and seek the aims

Do not expect to lee treated as you

charitably disposed, or have assisted
others, do not entertain tEc vain expect
alton that you will receive a somewhat
nroportionatc return of thanks and kind
ness. The reward for sucll assistance
is the pleasure and qualification to your-
self Of knowing that YOU have been the
means Of relieving the wants or a!lcyi-
ating the suf,crings OF others. This is
the only reward that any man can cx-
pcct. and gives more satisfaction III the
long run than any other.
How often do those whom we have
assisted :rrn and thouehtlcssly treat Us
in such a way as to cause us TO repent
what we have done, and wish we had
thrown our money TO the winds, or be-
slowed our kindness upon some duml
animal, which, though devoid of ration,
atty, never forgets by whom it is wei
treated. Such conduct tends to deprive
us even of the pleasure of feeling that
we have performed good act, by dem
onstrating the fact that we have thrown
away our kindness upon an unworthy

Ladies' are generally very beautiful, are

atmospheres a cock is opened, which
allows the grease to run off then the re-

sold to make knife handles, etc., and the

converted into animal black and glue.
The first are calcined in cylinders, and
