Hazel Kirke.,,

The charming comedy of Hazel
Kirke" will be presented at Leubrie's
Theater for the last time to night, the
company leaving after the perform
ance for Nashville, where the piece is
to be presented on Monday. The
audience last night was the largest,
most fashionable and dressiest of the
week, and the performance was q bril-
liant success which we'll merited the
applause generously accorded. Miss
Efie Ellsler, who appeared in the
original cast at New York acquitted
herself like the true artist she is, while
@. W. Couldock, the veteran, was
called before the curtain after one of
his emotional scenes, in response to
the enthusiasm ofthe spectators. Miss
Sidney Cowell was exceedingly jolly
as Dolly and captivated the affections
Of the audience, while the
Pittacus Green of Mr.. Bowser
afforded much merriment. The play
throughout, like the audience, was
handsome.

this evening, upon which occasion the

The WOLF Roy.

A late number of Ohambers's Journal tells
the following story, of which we do not be-
lieve a word
One morning, many years ago, Mr.. H., who
happened at the time TO be magistrate and
collector in the Etawah district, was out rid
ing, accompanied by couple Of sowars or
mounted orderlies. They were passing over
a portion of the road that lay in the vicinity
of the ravines of the river Jumna, when two
half-grown wolf cubs crossed their path, and
following them more slowly came very re-
markabe- looking creature, which shambled
along on all fours in an extraordinarily un-
couth fashion. This turned out to be a wolf
child. Letting the other two go unmolested
the three men proceeded to hunt down the
human cub, and succeeded in bringing 1t TO
bay. As they wished to take the creature
alive, and were unwilling to hurt it in any
way, they found great difficulty in securing
it, as it fought, bit and clawed with extreme
ferceness ami pertinaoiiy; indeed, having
driven 1t into corner, Mr.. IL. and one of the
sowars had to mount guard, while the other
native proceeded TO the nearest village and got
a stout blanket for the purpose of throwing
over its head, and by this means the capture
was finally effected All the way home the
wolf-child behaved like mad thing, scream
ing and howling-now piteously, now in a
paroxysm of impotent rage. IL was taken 70
Mr.. Ii. 5 house, but it would not be comfort
ed, and for long time refused all kinds of
food, even raw meat The creature was a boy
about nine years old, aud it may here be stat
ed that no female wolf-ohild has ever been
seen or heard of. 1t is not easy to assign a
sufficient reason for the fact that females have
never b sen so discovered, unless we suppose
that, being less vigorously constituted, they
have been unable to endure the terrible hard
ships of such an existence, and have very soon
sickened and died. In appearance, this boy

was dreadful.

mustn't say such things!' This through her

The boy took of his shirt.
The girl leaned over and put her arms

put her hand into her pocket and took out the

The last night Of our long run of six nights
she looked more happy than had ever seen

william Penn.

He appears at least advantage during his
young college days, in which period we see
him vaccillating, uncertain, unbalanced in his
character. At one time moved to his inmost
heart by religious conviction, at another he
appears as a hippant, rakish youth of the
French school. And SO all throughout his
greener years he appeared swayed, now this
way and now that, as any stronger character
with whom he temporarily came in contact
directed him.
In the pages of Pepys's diary We see him in
one of these his youthful phases. He says in
one place 'Mr. Penn, Sir. Williams son,
is come back from France and come to visit
my wife II most modish person, grown, she
says, a fue gentleman" Again he says :
Comes MIR. Penn to visit me; l perceive
something OF learning he hath got, but great
deal if not too much, of the vanity of the
French garb and affected manner of speech
and gait" A year or so previous to the time
of this entry he was so far influenced by a
wellknown Quaker preacher Of Oxford as to
seriously contemplate joining that sect When
this reached his fathers ears he was packed
unceremoniously across to the continent
where We see how quickly he was cured Of
his procliyities.
As man, this lack of ballast appears to
have passed away; his convictions grew
life consistent. When old enough to become
thoroughly established in his religious prn-
ciples he never abated hair's-breadth from
the standard he took He is even known to
have gone so far as to remain covered in the
presence for one of the articles Of his
faith was to remove his hat to no man, aud he
obeyed the mandate implicitly.
An amusing and well-authentcated anec-
dote is told Of him in connection with his
patron, James II. Shortly after the accession
of that monarch, Penn was admitted to an au-
dience. He found the king standing, sur
rounded by several Of his courtiers. The
Friend entered as he had been wont to do
when James was Duke of York, without un-
covering. Immediately, with great show of
Difference, the king removed his hat.
"Why dost thou take of thy hat ?" asked
Penn, rather taken aback.
because" answered James, dryly, 81 am
accustomed now to see only one man in the
company covered"
Such was the man who was destined to
found the province of Pennsylvania in his
youth hippant and unstable in his manhood
staid, upright, honorable and just. Ho'odrd

was exceedingly repulsve his features were
blunt aud coarse, and their expression bru al
lied and insensibe. As to his habits they
were exactly those of a wild animal Mr. II.
caused minute inquiries to be made through
out the neighboring villages as to whether the
inhabitants lad lost any children through
their being carried of by wolves, and, il 80,
whether they could recognize the human waif
that had been recovered by means of birth
marks, moles, or other indelibla tokens. In
the course of few days the father and moth
er of the lad were discovered They identi-
fed him by certain well.defined marks about
the breast and shoulders, and said he had been
carried away when about two years old. His
parents found him very difficult TO manage,
for he was most fractions and Troublesome
in fact, Just n Gagged wild beast. Often dur
ing the night, for hours together, he would
give vent to most unearthly yells and moans,
destroying the rest and irritating the tempers
Of the noighbors, and generally making night
hideous On one occasion his people chained
HIM by the waist to a tree near the hut, which
was situated on the outskirts of the village.
Then a rather curious incident occurred. 1t
was bright moonlight night, and two wolf
cubs--undoubtedly those in whose compan-
ionship he had been captured-attracted ap-
parently by his cries while on the prowl, came
to him, and were distinctly seen to gambol
about and play with him with as much famil-
iarity and affection as if they considered him
quite one of themselves. They only left him
on the approach Of morning, when movement
and stir again arose in the village. But the
wolf boy did not survive long. Accustomed
to the wilds for at least half-a-dozen years,
captivity and the change in his mode of life
appeared not to agree with him, for he grad
ually pined away and died. He never spoke
a word, nor did single ray of human intelli-
gence ever shed its refining light over his poor
debased features.

YELLOWSTONE PARK IN DANGER. The mag
nifcent Yellowstone Park is in danger of be-
ing rapidly destroyed and its natural beauties
defaced by wantonness and vandalism, unless
the government steps in to protect it, 1t is
said that the first thing the Englishman does
after registering at the Brevoort House is to
start for the Yellowstone Park and needlessly
shoot down scores ofits large game deer, buff
faloes, bears, antelope and mountain sheep.
Nor are foreigners always the chief sinners in
this respect. Many of the most famous Yel-
lowstone geysers have already been ruined by
people who amuse themselves by hurling i'm
mense trunks of pine trees into them in order
to see the water force them high in the air.
In many cases these logs have stuck in the
water apertures, and have completely stopped
the spouting In Wyoming the people are
taking steps to put a stop to such vandalism,
and the wholesale slaughter of buffaloes and
other game by English tourists.
