Nothing like the Comedy and American
Four consolidated variety show which has
been crowding the Buckingham to the ut
most during the past week has been seen here
this season. The combination gives as good,
IL not better, show than Tony Pastor brings
with him. The bill played throughout is one
continuation of good things. The combina-
ion opened Monday night to the largest
house ever seen in the theatre; many being
unable to gain admission. The bill opened
with a roaring sketch with Joe Pettingilll as
the negro. The olio was opened by the Par
ker Sisters, the most refined lady song-and
dance artstes living. Georgie Parker is sim
ply toe beautiful and petite for anything.
Andy CollOns' banjo act brought him four or
five encores nightly. He has no equal. MUIR
ply and Mack's Irish sketch is screamer.-
The American four simply break up The
house every night. Miss Carrie Howard is
one of the best serio-comics on the American
stage. In short the entire bill is repetition
of good things and must be seen to be appre-
ciated.-L0ussuilIe Argus, Jan. 10. 1881.

ALMOST Enthusiastically at the close of
the morning service at the churches. people
were seen hurrying in the direction of Easta-
brooks block. Investigation disclosed the
fact that fire had started on the third floor in
the G. A. Il. hall. 1t was discovered and En
alarm given which promptly brought the fire
company with engine and hose carts, but be-
fore they could get in position the flames we've
subdued by the application of a few pals of
water. The fire had burned box contain
ing sawdust, which was used for spittoon,
and a hole through the floor told the story of
its origin. A short time longer and the
flames would have spread between floor and
ceiling and over the building. Fortunately but
little damage was done and the crowd dis.
persed very soon. The Post met on Saturday
night and the janitor had not looked after the
cold sojors" as he should, if they were to be
thrown into such tinder box. WILL.

A. M. CORNELL, of Columbia, takes his
place next week as superintendent of the
Poor House in place of A. d. MUM, whose
health will not permit him longer to continue
the duties he has so we'll performed for the
past year. Mr.. CORNELL is an excellent
selection for the place and the duties of the
place will undoubtedly be discharged to the
satisfaction of the public. A careful,
thoughtful man he has shown in the manage
ment of his own affairs that he is fitted to be
entrusted with those of the public.
We clip the above from last weeks North
ern Tier Gazette, and while we fully en-
dorse all that is said of the new appointee.
we sincerely regret that Mr.. MUM could not
have been induced to remain in charge of the
Poor House, as he possesses in an emiuent
degree qualities requisite for the position.

Suicides,

The following are Prof. Bertillon's
statistics respecting the increase in
the number Of suicides in differ

Dane should be so far more anxious to
make an end Of himself than any other
human being it would be difficult TO eX-
plain. In every million of persons;
Suicides have increased annually, in
Italy, from 1864 to 1878, from 30 TO 81,
In Belgium, from 1881 to 1876, from
80 to IS.

Rely on YonrSelf.

1t is related OF Stephen Girard, that
he had favorite clerk, and he always
said he intended to do well by Ben
Lippincott. So when Ben rot TO be II
he expected to hear the governor say
something of his future prospects and
perhaps lend a helping hand in start
ing him in the world. But the old fox
carefully avoided the subject. Ben
mustered courage; II suppose | am
now free, sir said he, land | thought
| would say somethingto you as to my
course. What do you think had bet
ter do?"
Eyes, yes. | know you are said
the old Millionaire, land my advice is
to 90 and learn the cooper trade
This application Of ice nearly froze
Ben out; but recovering his equilibrium
he said if Mr. Girard was in earnest he
would do so.
! am in earnest
And Ben forthwith sought the best
cooper in Spring Gardens, became an
apprentice, and in due time could make
as good barrel as the best. He an
nounced to old Stephen that he had
graduated, and was ready to set up in
business. The old man seemed graft
fed and Immediately ordered three o
the best barrels he could turn out. Bel
did his prettiest, and wheeled them NJ
to the old mans counting room. Oh,
Girard pronounced them first rate, ant
| demanded the price.
''One dollar each" said Ben, sis a.
low as can live by"
Cheap enough! Make out your bill. y
The bill was made out, and oldStephen
settled it with a check for $50, 600 which
he accompanied with this little moral
to the story:
There, take that and invest it in the
best possible manner; and if you are
unfortunate and lose it, you will have a
good trade to fall back upon, which will
afford you a good livelihood

How She Got Into the Department.

Atlanta Republican.
As the Hon. John Sherm an was sitting
in his office, Il bright haired pretty girl
suddenly dashed into his presence. She
was apparently rs, and had about her
an air Of business which even the cold
gaze of the Ohio statesman could not
transform into maiden fright or furry.
Deliberately taking Il seat, the girl said
"Mr. Sherman, ! have come here TO get
n place. "Thcre are none vacant"
was the reply II know you can give
me place if you want TO-, and | think
! am as much entitled to it as anybody.
My father spent his life in the United
States army, and when he died he left
nothing The responsibility of the fam.
lily is on me, and think we've got as
good claim as anyone else on the
Government "What kind of place
do you wantP" don't care what it is,
but | must have work at once Mr..
Sherman assured her that there were
ten applicants for every one place, and
there was very little chance. She very
deliberately told him that such an
answer Wouldn I do, and declared that
if he would allow her she would come
up every day and black his shoes, ii he
couldn't do better for her The Secretary
was struck with her determination and
charmed by her bright face and her
sprightly manner. He told her to come
back. In less than week she had a
good place in the Treasury, which she
still holds, Every morning she walks
TO the department with the step Of a
business little woman who is proud that
her delicate hands can be the support
of others She receives 500 dollars n
month, and supports in comfort her
mother and sister This brave, bright
young woman is Miss May Macauey,
formerly of Atlanta Her father was a
Lieutenant in the Eighteenth Infantry.

Number Three.

John W. Young, a Washington cor
respondent says, is large, handsome,
stylish man, not very deep, but quite q
man of the world, tickle by nature, and
incapable of constancy, no matter how
close the law bound him to one wife.
Mrs. Young No, 3, who is the nemesis
at this time, is the most elegant lady in
appearance that | saw in Salt Lake
during a long stay there. She is slight,
of tall and willowy figure, remarkably
stylish carriage, clear olive complexion,
satiny black hair, and soft eyes. She
is Philadelphia, and highly
educated person; is not, and never was
u Mormon, and holds herself aloof from
them. She was perfectly infatuated
with johnny Young, and married him
in spite of opposition, but she is not one
of the meek souls who sigh and die
without word. saw her give look
at No. 4, as she drove by, bride, in
u pony phWton, that convinced me that
John VS. path would not be one of
roses. There was no flush of indigna-
ton on the dark cheek; no tell-tale
trcmor of the heart, andno contemptuous
curl of the lip; buta paling of the whole
face, IA drawing up of her form to its
full height and steady blaze of the
velvety eyes, that meant much more.
And the new wife, an ignorant, red
girl of To- drove on uncon-
cerncdly, chewing wax, and settling the
red roses on her hat more firmly in their
place. The contrast between two
women could not have been greater.

DONGoLA, March 10Th, 1881.
The Union county circuit court has been
in session for the past ten days, and should
it continue its session until all commin-

posed of, the session would not close before

The seven men, who are under arrest for
the numbering Of the tramp" near Dongo-
la, on the 7th of February, 1879, succeeded
in getting their case put eff till next term
Of court. This case is certainly a yexatous
one for it is heaping up cost IN huge piles
for the tax payers to liquidate in the end
And again another extremely veXatous
matter in the case is the summoning Of an
army OF witnesses at every term Of court,
and dragging them to court, to lose week
Of time from their business, and pay for
weeks board, and then be discharged until
the next term Of court Your unworthy
scribbler, being one of them-were it not
that he is rather OF religious turn of mind
might wish that, the man who had him
summoned was safely locked up in that
warm place that all bible readers have read
about. Ewing Sessions, Wilbur and others
had him summoned for the defense, and
yet they knew that he knows nothing IA
favorable to their case. If il did them any
good to thus put him to eXpense-why let
them have the benefit Of the good.
