"Have YOU a nickel dated 1882 asked
Joe Logan of Warren Galbreath at the
Garrison house at noon yesterday. Il
want to procure one of that year"
''Doh't know, but I'll see" replied the
affable coal dealer.
So saying he went down into his clothe-
and soon fished from his pocket hand ,ul
of dirles, quarters, nickels, etc, and COM
menced the search for one of 1868.
Soon he was rewarded, for a '6S loomea
up, ard he handed it over TO Joe, when
that individual stepped to one side and
slipped it irto little hole in cigar box
labeled "For the benefit of the poor"
Warren casually remarked he had hem
"uone up in great shape, but he guessed
they wouldn't catch him again, and he
wandered from the office, muttering as he
went: "Well, I'll have to do without 4

The bridge over Muddy creek, ON the

Sedalia, took fire about seven o'clock last
night from the sparks OF a passing locomo-

minutes. 1t surely would have been de-
stroyed but for another train coming in,
and the engineer discovered the conflagra-
ton, when the men in charge stopped and
extinguished the flames. Trains later in the

A Little Too Previous.

1t is little singular, isn't it, that an
afternoon paper of this city, which has nc
press franchise, hence cannot receive Asso-
ciated Press dispatches, should announce
in its issue of Friday that Judge Cox had
overruied the motion for new trial in
the Guiteeu case? The BAZoo's dispatches
on that date gave no indication that such
was the fact, nor did the Saturday morn
ing papers, as Judge Cox had decided not
TO render a decision Friday.
Our contemporary should always be en-
couraged in its efforts to keep up with the
times, but therei is such a thing as becoming
too swift-and this is one of the occca-
sions where surmise failed TO be verified.

AMUSE MENTS.
Teresa Carreno Concert.

If the not very large but select audience
that assembled at the Opera house last evening
had only enjoyed one feature of the very
artistic and pleasing programme, it would
have been richly rewarded for putting in an
appearance The entertainment throughout
was essentially musical, but it was distin-
guished by the most brilliant piano
performances ever heard in this city.
This was the playing of Madame Carreno
whose remarkable command of the keyboard
was shown in manner that evoked the
warmest manifestations of delight and enthu-
siasm. The other features of the pro-
gramme were enjoyable, but such brilliant ex-
ecution and sympathetic command, if the term
NAV be allowed, over an instrument, as that
shown by Madame Carreno has seldom been
witnessed,
The entertainment was opened with Fan
TASTE on Faust, composed for the piano by
List, and performed by Madame Carreno. In
this, as in the numbers that followed, she
displayed method or technique of wonderful
cate passages of the score with an ease and
gracefulness that could not fail to command
the most genuine admiration.
Rr numbers were greeted with storms OF
applause, and in each instance she responded
to an encore.
Signor Stantini, who possesses a pleasing
and well cultured tenor voice, followed with
ballad by Morgan, entitled "MY Sweetheart
When Boy The song was well sung and
greeted with applause.
Miss Jennie Busk, the prima donna So
prano OF the company, then sang an
aria from the "Magic Flute,' by Mozart.
she possesses a voice of good range, rich in
volume and sympathetic. The selection was
well rendered and received with pleasure and
applause. Signor Ferfanti, the buffo of the
troupe, then treated the audience to comic
song in italian, entitled "La Word" The
fanciful selection was sung in good taste and
the pantomime was highly amusing.
Then followed several numbers by Madame
Carreno, all of which were signalized by bril-
liant execution, interspersed with enjoyable
selections by Mile. Busk, Signor Stantini and
Signor Floranti In nearly all respects the
concert was an enjoyable artistic success.

TONY Pastor owns and runs first-class
theatre on Broadway, New York City, and has
gathered about him the best troupe of variety
artists that could be obtained anywhere. The
company has just completed brilliant en-
gagement at the Walnut Street Theatre, Phila-
delphia, and after the present tour they will
reappear in Tony PASTORS own theatre in New
York City. Mr.. Pastor is the originator of
his peculiar school OF character singing, and
has made himself immensely popular having
realized by his talents large fortune.
The writer of this article met Mr.. Pastor
recently at the Bingham House, in Philadel-
phia, and found him as genial in private as
he is amusing before the public. During our
conversation 1 inquired as to his physical
health, and he replied that notwithstanding
the strain upon him in the discharge of his
professional duties, it was excellent. He had
occasionally severe pains, either the result OF
rheumatic attacks or colds, Out any com
plants of that character never troubled him
long, as he had found out a remedy for all
such annoying affections. l asked him what
the remedy was, and he replied, Est. Jacobs
OIL" I then learned from Mr.. Pastor that he
considered the great German remedy an excel
lent preparation for the cure or relief of rheu-
matism, and that it was about the only thing
used among professional people for that dis
tressing complaint. He took bottles OF it with
him whenever he went travelling, and would
not be without it, and knew that it was very
popular with number of members OF his
own company. A conversation held subse-
auently with various members Of the organ
ization revealed the fact that st. Jacobs
Oil had been performing most invaluable
service for them in the way of curing them OF
rheumatism. Nearly every artist in the troupe
used it, and was enthusiastic in its praise, and
the writer was really forced to the conclusion
that Tony Pastor was certainly in luck in
having so valuable an article known and en-
ployed by his inimitably good company of
performers, for it enabled every one to be
always in his place, thus insuring comfort to
the management and genuine satisfaction to
the public. Tony Pastor would certainly be
in trouble without st. Jacobs Oil. At least,
other managers whose artists have been tenn
porarily unsupplied, have noticed the differ
ence between st. Jacobs Oil in stock and ST..
Jacobs Oil out of stock-among the members
of their companies.-N. Y. Clipper.
