UNCLE ToM.-The dramatic season
was successfully inaugurated Satur-
day evening, by the appearance at the
Opera House of Minnie Fosters Uncle
Toms Cabin combination, in that al
ways attractive drama. So long as
this picture Of Southern life during
the dark days of slavery is presented
by company embracing so much
real talent as the one mentioned, just
so long will the play continue to grow
in popular favor, as the presentations
themselves are well worth seeing.
The company without doubt is the
peer of any Of the numerous ones
which have heretofore appeared in this
city i'll the same play. All of the ar
lists engaged in its presentation are
excellent actors, from the charming
proprietress down even to the we'll
trained bloodhounds. Of Miss Min
ME Fosters Topsy it is not necessary
to speak, as she is too well known in
this character to require any praise.
Sufficient to say that she fills the part
with her old time Eigor, and has a
strong hold on the public. Uncle
Tom was a marvel to those who have
seen the cheap article only, his pol
ished acting bringing forth rounds Of
applause. Miss Lottie Burke, the
child actress, is phenomenon, and in
the part Of Eva makes friends Of the
entire audience. The other parts were
all well acted. Miss Foster, when
backed by such a company, may al
ways be sure of a welcome in this
city. Daily Enterprise, Rrockton,

A FEW of the many friends of Rev.
David J. Jenkins, the Welsh minis
ter, presented him with a comfortable
overcoat, and 1858 in money. In re-
sponse he says:
MY DEAR FRIENDS: I feel it my
duty to acknowledge publicly, the
manifestation Of your good will to-
wards me on last Christmas Eve; and
to return my feeble, yet sincere thanks
for the same. I never thought-nev-
er imagined, that I had the least claim
on your loving kindness. Coming
among you two years and half ago,
as a stranger to many, | am the more
surprised at this generous act. I as
sure you that l appreciate the gift, for
its value in dollars and cents; but it
is mere valuable to me, for the very
fact that I believe it to be che fruit Of
pure Christian love-the love of the
Gospel of Christ, which 1 have the
privilege and the honor to proclaim
its divine truths, This grace of yours
came wholly unexpected, and entirely
unsought for, as you all know.
Though feeling my unworthiness, I
hope that this token of your kindness
will be the means of stimulating me
to work more faithfully and more dill
igently for the glory of God, and the
good of humanity. And my feeble
on behalf Of you, my friends,
who have thus remembered me, is that
this act be fruit that may abound to
your account. And that God, the
giver of every good and perfect gift,
shall supply all your needs according
to his riches in glory, by Christ Jesus.

HLiberaI Minded"

A leading German paper in Cincin-
natl, speaking of the activity of 1.-The
temperance fanatics" in Iowa, howls
for the ''liberal minded" citizens to
watch the fanatics" and to make ev-
cry effort to defeat them.
What kind or manner of men are
they whom this Devils organ seeks to
flatter by calling them liberal mind
ed citizens? Any man who will pay
three-fourths of his earnings to dog
gery-keeper, is liberal minded; every
man who swills himself so full OF beer
and whisky that his face resembles a
huge beet, and is so bloated that his
hide seems ready to burst under the
great tension, is liberal minded; every
man who desecrates the Sabbath,
curses the churches, or abuses his
wife, liberal minded; every man-did
we say man2-who goes to his home
crazy drunk and attempts to frighten
his children into spasms by all the
grimaces and 'monkey-shines" known
to frst-class idiot, is liberal minded;
every creature who is such a slave of
his stomach that he has no regard for
the common proprieties Of life, or the
rights of others, and no knowledge of
common decency, is liberal minded.
These are the men whom the dog
gery-keepers and their hangers-on
would like to see made the law-givers
of this country; and this is the class
