The late crash in stocks in Paris will
send Nilsson back to the stage. She tells
a New York Herald interviewer that
she had no separate estate from her hus-
band, in whose affection and judgment
she had entire confidence and that the
result of his management will compel
her to earn another fortune as soon as
his condition enables her to leave him.
He is now under restraint in an asylum,
his mind having given way under the ex-
element of his losses. Everyone's SYM
pathy will 60 out to Madame Nilsson in
her misfortune, which is greater in the
disaster to her husband, with whom
she is said to have lived very
happily, than in the loss of for
tune which she will doubtless he able
to regain. Ifher voice is unimpaired it
is benefit rather than a calamity to the
world in general that she is forced again
to use it publicly. No one has arisen
since her retirement to challenge her
rank as the queen of song. nor has any
prima donna appeared with personal
qualities to supplant Nilsson in public
estimation by reason of more engaging
and amiable manners. Patti is little
goose. with nothing but her voice to
boast Of; and such a gift is not one
to sustain any great self.glorifcation.
The other day the great giant in Bun
nell's museum, in New York, became
greatly enraged because Of the assertion
of a rival giant that he was the bigger
man of the two. He really felt himself
greatly distinguished by what was in f. ct
deformity. So too, the little fellow by
his side, who weighs but four and a-half
pounds, struts about with sense of the
great distinction bestowed upon him by
his stunted growth. None Of these dis
tinctiOns of nature, not even great
beauty or great voice, really entitle the
custodians of them to plume themselves
upon them, since they have come to them
without thir effort. But when great gifts
and talents are modestly worn and in
dustriously cultivated they attract such
esteem as is abundantly entertained to.

Slight Fire.

Last evening between 5 and o'clock
there was a slight fire in one of tl.e weav-
ing rooms Of No. 3 cotton mill. 4 spark
from some source set fire 20 some loose
cotton which instantly fared up rather
threateningly. 1t was however put out
without causing general alarm.
This morning about ! O'Clock there
was an alarm of fire struck upon the
Washington fire company's bell. 1t is
said to have been struck bya policemen,
but there appears to have been no occa-
sion for it.

Lyceuln Entertainment.

Last evening very pleasant entertain
ment was given at the Pequea Valley
school house by the members of the
Pepuea lyceum. The programme con-
sisted of dialogues, recitations and vocal
music, and the several participants ac-
Quilted themselves very creditably indeed
A marked feature of the entertainment
was the vocal music rendered by Mrs.
Mylin, of Philadelphia. The audience
was large, considering the very disagree
able condition of the weather.

Pulling Down tho Walls.

This morning while large force
of workmen were engaged in clearing
away the debris of the old Inquirer printing
house, recently destroyed by fire, brisk
breeze sprang up and the tottering walls
shook perceptibly, considerable quantities
of broken brick and mortar falling among
tho men, who beat a hasty retreat from
their dangerous position. Long ladders
were procured and a heavy cable was
thrown through an opening high up in
the north wall. The cable was then
pulled upon by strong force of men
and the wall was pulled down, falling into
the ruins. This left tho tall stack ut the
northeast corner of the building standing
almost alone. A ladder was procured and
courageous workman carrying a cable
mounted to the top. Then leaving the
ladder he swung himself into the upper
branches of a large tree adjoining the
ruins and swung one end Of the cable
around projection of the stack, some
sixty feet from the ground. Thirty Or
forty men then seized the cable. and pull
ing steadily upon it, succeeded in pulling
it down. 1t fell with a great crash into
the basement of the burned building. The
only dangerous part of the structure now
standing is the front wall, and nothing
less than a gale is likely to. blow it down.

THERE seems to be no end possible
to the ceaselesS and fruitless Polar expe-
ditions. The last ship, the Jeanette,
has been crushed in the ice, and another
expedition is needed to find her lost crew.
Nearly every ship that goes out requires
others to follow after her to Gmd her or
her people. And with all that have gone
nothing has come to repay the cost and
suffering. The pole is yet unreached
and beyond the distinction OF doing
what has not been done no inducement
exists to strive to sail across it. Yet
doubtless this motive will suffice to keep
up these vain attempts to the end Of
time. They are not wise.

The Soup Fund Concert.

Our charitably disposed citizens will,
we trust, not forget the concert to be
given in the court house next Tuesday
evening, the proceeds of which are to be
devoted to tho worthy cause of alleviating
the sufferings of the poor. The soup fund
deserves the support and encouragement
of all, and as tho money is beginning to
run low, the present affords an Opportu-
nifty of helping to build it up and at the
same time enjoying a delightful entertain
ment. Woodward's Continental Vocalists
comprise quartet of some of our best
home talent, and their generous response
to Mayor MacGonigle's request for their
services in aid of the soup fund deserves to
be emphasized by our citizens in crowding
the court house next Tuesday night.

Sentences Expiring in Pennsyivania-Phil-

Within the next fortnight the terms of
more than so of the most expert, daring
and desperate professional thieves in the
Eastern penitentiary of this state will ex

operating in Philadelphia. The majority
Of the convicts who have served long terms
have spent all or nearly all OF their savings
in endeavOcs to secure pardons and ccnse-
quently will come out almost penniless.
The police say the terms of an unusual
number of professional thieves have cx-
pred this winter, and to that fact attri'
butte the noticeable increase in burglaries,
house robberies. highway assaults and
other crimes. The officers of tho law
have been very busy, and scores of dan
gerous offenders have been caught, con-
7icted, and sentenced, but still there is a
legion Of others at liberty who are fully as
much to be feared by respectable house.

and active thieves now at large in
Philadelphia are "Dutch" Abero, William
Furlong, Dutch" Dalton, "Skinny''
O'Brien. William Quinn, Harry Smith,

Joseph Madeira, James MCGEE. George
Mooney, George Byers, and Thomas

myriads of sneak thieves, pickpockets,
confidence men, and other more cowardly
criminals, but is composed Of really wicked
and dangerous house breakers and thugs.
In two police districts, already, the police
have no less than so professional malefac-
tors under surveillance, and others are
constantly coming and going. The
police declare, however, that there is not
an important "fence" or receiver of
stolen goods in Philadelphia, and say the
thieves are compelled to send their booty
when it is not in cash, to New York to
realize money on it. Tho pawnbrokers,
as rule, act in connection with the police
authorities, and, except an occasional
watch or some trifling article of .jewelry or
clothing. stolen property is rarely found
in their possession.

A Dream About the Knoxville Tragedy

Nashville World, Goth inst: One of the
most remarkable instances of the verifca-
ton of dream was realized in the triple
fatality, which occurred in Knoxville yester-
day. On Wednesday Messrs. Hooper Har-
ris, S. II. Bell and r. H. Stannard were
sitting in front of the Office of the Tennes-
see Brokerage Association, when the subject
of dreams was broached. The first name
of these gentlemen said that he had, on the
night previous, had peculiar dream to the
effect that General Mabry and his son had
been killed in a street difficulty at Knoxville
by Major Thomas O'Conner, who was
himself killed. When the terrible news
came from Knoxville yesterday Mr.. Harris
narration of his dream REQUIRED with start
ling force to the gentlemen who heard it,
and the story of the dream, and its veri6ca-
ton was common talk on the streets yester-
day.
The incident became even more remark
able when it was known that Mr.. Harris
was not aware of any unpleasant relations
existing between the parties.

Chronic Looseness of the Bowels

Results from imperfect digestion. The
cause lies in-the torpidity of the liver. A
regular habit of body can be secured by
taking Simmons Liver Regulator to aid di-
gestion, to stimulate the dull and sluggish
liver and rid the system of excessive and
poisonous bile. The Regulator corrects
acidity of the stomach, cures dyspepsia and
permanently creates regularity of the bow
els alike free from laxity or costiveness.

effcacious, satisfactory and pleasant remedy
