THE DRAMA.

Maggie Mitchell n 1.-The Little savage"
Last evening that agile little actress Miss
Maggie Mitchell delighted large audi
ence at Fulton opera house by her i'm
personation of q new role which according
to the announcements was made to lit her
peculiar accomplishments and ins which
the author has scored what may be denOm-
mated quite a success in its way. The
play was "'The Little Savage" and the title
character Is presented by Miss Mitchell is
. lumber little creature, full Of grace,
spirit and mischief. There is not much
dramatic quality in the role, and indeed
this element is conspicuous only by its
absence throughout the play. The scene at
ternates between the island of GuadalOupe
aud France, the time in several centuries
back, there is a preposterous old naval
officer who has couple Of lettres dc cachet
in his pocket with which he threatens to
cause the arrest and banishmeut Of his
nephew and others If they do not accede
to his wishes in regard to matrimonial al
the interest lies in the endeavors of The
Little Sarage and her confederates to secure
possession of these dread Instruments,
Outwit the old.sea-dog and marry the peo
PIE Of their choice. In all Of which
they are successful, aud the curtain
falls upon satisfactory state of affairs.
The preposterOus old patty is recon-
ciled to the deception practiccd
upon him by his nephew and to the
naughty tricks of The Little !Sduage, at the
prospect of securing the latter, who is an
heiress and q millionaire, for q niece aad
the young people themselves are happy
in the gratifying contamination of their
respective afaires de c0usr. Thele are in
numel able incongruities In the develop
ment of the plot, nearly everybody in the
play gets into some disguise or other
before it is over, snd in a word the piece
is not to be dramatically considered at all.
Nevertheless, there is plenty of fun in it.
Maggie Mitchell makes Cora (the little
savage) the most attractive, ,bewitching and
exasperating of sprites, infusing into her
rendition of the part much Of the dash
and vivacity that have made her Fdnchons
and other roles celebrated. The favor
with which the audience regarded her
work was expressed in several calls before
the curtain and in occasional bursts of
applause during the passages, notably in
the tipsy scene, which was very cleverly
done. The support was evenly good,
Messrs. Shewell, Russell and Scott enact
ing their several parts intelligently and
with proper spirit, while one Of the many
amusing features was the antiphOnal per-
fOrmance of the twin nOtaries, impersOn--
ated respectively by Messrs. Julian
Mitchell and ]. H. Redding, who came in
for goodly share of the favor Of the audi
ence. AS Clarette Miss Carrie Wyatt was
pretty and winsome. The play moved
smoothly, the audience was in good humdr
to be pleased, and the general verdict was
one of approval.

A SEQUEL
To tbe Iron Mountain Train
Robbery.

Little Rock Gazette, 2s.I
The robbery Of a passenger train on
the Iron Mountain road by three
"beardless boys" is still fresh in the
memory of all who read of the daring
deed, and who afterward read of the
dramatic death, in the Arkansaw peni-
Tertiary, Of one of the participants.
The robbers, it will be remembered, to
the surprise of a great many old law
yers, were sentenced for a term of 20
years each. This caused considerable
comment, as the average murderer is
only sent for Il years. 1t seems that
there is a sequel to the affair, as the
following from the Sherman (Texas)
Courier Chronicle will show:
Many Will remember a fine looking
young man named Tower, who ran on
the express train between Fort Worth
and Texarkana last summer, and was
afterwards transferred to the. St Louis
& Iron Mountain road. He was an
exemplary young man-never drank,
gambled or run with the girls" and
was of a wealthy and highly respectable
New York family. He was on the
train as messenger at the time of the
Iron Mountain train robbery, last fall,
which all remember. He stood high
in the estimation Of the Express Com
pany, and when, shortly after the roh-
berry, he asked for a months leave of
absence, it was readily granted. The
robbers were captured, and one of
themh has since diedin the p~enitentiary.
Before he died he told that Tower was
interested in the robbery, keeping
$4,000 for his share in the transaction.
a detective was put on his track, and
he now languisheth in the New Boston
Jail. The evidence against him is full
and complete, and he has offered to
make good the loss, but as be is in the
hands ofthe State, he will undoubtedly
have several years Of quiet seclusion
allotted to him in which to mediate
over his mistakes"

THE zUNIs.
Chiefs of a Tribe Of Pueblo Indians
In Route For Plymouth Rock
For a TraditiOnary Religious
Ceremony.
A Quiz For scientists.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, February 28.-
+. II. Cushings, Of tie chronological
Bureau of the Smithsonian Institute
at Washington, was in the city yes
terday, accompanied by six chiefs Of
the agricultural and PASTORAL tribe
OF Pueblo Indians, located in West
ern New Mexico, about thirty-6ye
miles south of the Atlantic and Pa
oiic railroad, known as the Zunis,
He is en- route to Washington and
Boston, by way of Chicago. The OBJ
ject OF the trip is to enable the Zunis,
who have civilization similar to the
ancient Caltic and Aztec, to perform
a religious ceremony, which can only
be performed at the ocean. The GER
emony, in its manifest detail, has
been handed down from the past by
tradition, but SO old is it that not
even their traditions say when it was
last performed. An interesting sci
entiic problem is. When were these
people on the shore of the ocean,
and where? The ceremony will prob
ably be performed at Plymouth Rock.
MI. Gushing has been adopted into
the tribe and the highest religious
order, and has taken part in this
ceremony. The Zunis are an agricul-
tural people, and have reached the
highest success in that industry, as
well as in horticulture, and have large
herds and Aocks, One Of the objects
of this trip is to secure an enlargement
OF their grazing ranges. Mr.. Gushing
has discovered a rich and fruitful field
for the ethnologists, and scientists in
the East are waiting the result of his
trip with great interest.

The Coming Of the End Of the
World Looked for this Year
by the MOhammedans.
Hebrew LEADER.

Hebrew LEADER
The whole Mohammedan world is
excited over the expected end Of the
world this year. The Moslems say
that most of the signs which are to
precede that dreadful hour have al
ready been accomplished, and that but
two more are wanting. Those in
which they profess already to see the
fulfllment are many, some of which
are tumults and seditions, innumera-
bic earthquakes and eclipses, and the
decadence of faith among men. In the
late war between Turkey and Russia
they see the fulfllment Of the proph-
esy that Cog and Magog, the fair
haired tribes Of the North, should
break forth across the barriers which
Dhu'l Karvein built against them in
the mountains of Armenia. In Glad
stone they see the anti Christ.
The two signs wanting are the de-
scent Of Jesus upon the earth and the
apparition Of the Mahdi. In antici-
patton of the early coming OF Christ,
the cleansing and repairing Of the east
ern minaret, called the Minaret of
Jesus, OF the great Mosque Of Damas
Gus, was begun about two years ago.
The apparition Of the Mahdi is, how.
ever, regarded as the greatest of all
signs foreshadowing the end of the
world.
Mohammed, it is said, prophecied
that the world should not have an end
till one of his family should rule over
Islam, whose name and whose fathers
should be the same as his own and his
fathers own (Abdullah). 1t has long
been the belief Of the Moslems that a
descendant of the prophet Of the
tribe of the Koreish will rule over the
Arabs about the beginning Of the
fourteenth century Of the hegira, and
at thattime the Mahdi will reveal him.
self at Mecca and the era Of the Cali
phate be brought to an end. The be.
ginning Of the fourteenth century is
near at hans !; the Caliph of Mecca,
Abdul Mutallib, is reported to have
raised the standard Of rebellion
aud proclaimed himself ruler over
the Arabs; and to cap the climax, SO
to speak, the Mahdi himself has ap.
peared at Mecca in the person of ABB
dallah, the son of Mohammed, by a
mother of the name of Eminc6. The
names of the prophet, his father and
mother are properly grouped together,
and the circumstances Of time and
place all answer to the prophecy. II
anything else we're needed to convince
the faithful that the end Of the world
is at hand, it may be found in the
cholera now raging at Mecca, and
which the Arabs call "the yellow wind
of fire." and this is the fire which.
according to prophecy, snail consume
the Hedjaz at the moment when the
Madhi makes his appearance.
These things are now regarded by
; the Mohammedans as of greater i'm
portance than the settlement of fuan.
cial questions, government reforms,
etc. Indeed, in comparison, those
things which SO deeply interest Other
> people are the merest trifes in Mos.
lem nations.

Hams CIassed as Cotton Goods.
New York Herald.l

New York Herald.l
For making an assoc itselfin respect
to classification Of imported goods the
customs service of the United States
has hitherto been without a rival
among similar Department. in Europe,
but suddenly its proud pre-. eminence
becomes a thing Of the past, and Ger
many snatches the long cared cham
pionship. Hereafter, it is said, Amer
lean hams packed in canvas and sent
to Germany are. to be regarded and
taxed as cotton goods; that they are not
classified as three thousand ton screw
steamers, inasmuch as they are also
packed in these, is probably due only
to the fact hat America isnot allowed
to make such castings in which to ex-
port her hams. The German mind
has always been as mysterious and in
comprehensive as the Keely motor;
search, therefore, for the cause of this
extraordinary classification of the
American ham would be as hopeless
as an attempt to discover common
sense in a Teutonic treatise on pure
reason, were not the key to tina puzzle
presented by the German customs
laws. which tax cotton goods six and
two-thirds times as much as hams.
In other words, by declaring hams TO
be cotton goods, Germany declares
herself to be hog,
