THE JERSEYM A N.

THE JERSEYMA N.
Last evening Mr.. McAuley appeared at
Portland Theatre in his new creation OF Gllde-
roy N G. Punk, the "Jerseyman." The char
acter is not dissimiar TO that of Raymond's
"Col. Sell srs," except chat Gilderoy's great
schemer results in nothing. Like the Gil
dred Age'' the play of the "Jerseyman' is
rather weak in construction where originality
is attempted. and where the old dramatic
methods are employed they are necessarily ia
miliar Nevertheless McAuley, as the jersey
man carries the play to the satisfaction of the
average audience with his natural acting,
bright sayings and extravagant SMILES When
the villains of the piece is unmasked, at the
end of the third act, by the production OF the
missing button of his coat, the audience ap-
plauded tremendously and called Mr.. McAu-
lev before the curtain. The plot ofsthespiece is
as published in the PRESS Tuesday last. The
minor parts were fairly .taken 1t is to be re-
GREETED that lack of space prevents more ex-
tended notice this morning, and one more SAT-
isfactorv in description and analysis. Mr. NC.
Auley will probably play THE Jersegman"
extensively this season.
Mr.. Elwell made his first appearance this
season, last night, as chief usher.

THD SOUTHERN WINTER" TURSIp.
People in the South who have cult.
waited only the varieties Of turnip that
are grown at the North have no concep.
ton Of how exceedingly valuable tic
turnip crop may be made here. 1t is
we'll known that, in England, turnips
with which to winter sheep are the meai,s
whereby the lands have been brought
to a higher state of productiyeness and
rental than in any other country in the
world. In our Northern States, though
turnips grow as we'll as in England or
anywhere, their economic value is can
celled by the fact that the severity of the
winter necessitates harvesting and hous.
ing them, as is not done in the milder
winter climate of England. And with
most sorts, the same need exists even in
tho cotton States But there Is q sort
which, while it is one Of the very best,
In every respect, fourishes without the

except very few Purple Top, or White

Chinese Law for Doctors

An official Chinese decree concerning the
neglect of patients by their physicians has
found its way into England and been trans.
lated, so quaint are some of its declarations
When people are sick their doctors arc
told that they must be ready to attend
them, whether sent for in the daytime, the
Nighttime, in fair weather or in foul. The
sick long for the doctors, las the grain oil
seed longs for the rain but the doctors
"do not care what becomes of
the patient, so long as they
get their fees Another evil practice
is that they will not make visits before i
o'clock In the afternoon, while some will
Smoke opium and drink tea until late in
the afternoon all of which are abuses
which the magistrates declare they will on
no accoun, permit doctors must attend
their patients at all times" they say; they
must, II necessary, visit them several times
daily; they must think more Of them and
less OF their fees Hence, notice Is given
that physician who does not attend when
he Is called must only receive half his fees
and half his chair hire. "1fyou physicians

cussions on the theater question. Some Of
the community are censurpg the theater
managers for permitting on their stages
plays of questionable propriety Mn. Nc.
WICKER, BooTus father-in.law, is being
severely criticised in this regard,
On the other hand, the theatrical
managers say that they furnish
only what the public demand and
that all evil in orthodox churches is not
found in theater-going, and that although
BrRNHARpr, for instance, was open to critic
ism on account of her past private character
and her immoral plays, yet that any who
saw her pieces were rendered no worse, but
better for the exhibition. And so the CON
troyersy is being daily kept up through the
newspapers, and much bad blood on either
side is cropping out. Some good must
certainly be evolved eventually from this
airing.
