Doscouci WAS unusually uull uuTlnp
the week of the Fourth. Most of the
pleasure-seeking element of the popu-
lation had gone to other fields and
pastures new for the time being. A
| few remained, however, and amused
themselves and others by appearing in
negro costume on dray and giving
free performance to open-mouthed
| urchins. Who those MINISTRIES were is
not exactly known and no one ques-
toned the source of the gratultous

The Acme Dramatic Company, which
played here during last week, has taken
up its summer quarters at the Central
House. After the manager had paid
his company, one of the actresses be-

such vigorous and forcible demand

actress. She Immediately flew to the
law Tor redress and had the extreme
delight of seeing Judge Woolley fine
her assaulter the sum of two dollars
and costs. Still unsatisfied, the fair
matron the next day attempted to col
lect the sum due her by throwing red pep

harding the managerial head with
cuspidors, &c. The manager was una

The teachers who so lately welded
the birch in the public schools are now
quite generally scattered for the sum-
mer months. Some will not resume
their duties in this particular field.
One, it is rumored, will this week as
sumo charge of a new department and
take a solitary pupil for life. Miss Deb
bic Sarles is now visiting her brother,
somewhere in the Black Hills, while
Miss Sylvester is with her brother in
Ohio. Mr.. Willoughby still remains in
the city where a new attraction has
lately arrived. Chas. Minkhousen has
fled to the wilts of Fennimore to ac-
quire the science of telegraphy. Just

George Barnett, somewhat changed
by a two years cruise around South
America, is now in town and enjoying
himself with old friends and school
mates. He is recently from his final
examination at the naval academy,
where he passed most creditably, being
ranked as one of the twenty-three who
are retained in the service, while the
great majority of his class are, by the
new law, retired to private life. He
is now commissioned Lieutenant of
Marines, with excellent pay and plenty
of shore duty at prominent places. His
diligence and attention have won for
him most desirable place, which
we hope may be only the gate TO a
long road of promotion.
The mercury, which for the past few
days has been a very well-behaved liquid
