Francesca da Rimini.
The eminent actor, Mr.. Lawrence
Barrett, aided by his excellent com.
pany, presented Boxers powerful and
absorbing tragedy of francesca da
Rimini" last night for the second
time, and to a full house. The inter.
est Of the large audience appeared to
be enchanted from the opening to the
close ofthe piece, and at times open
expressions of enthusiasm we're
given, which stamped the
performance as an unqualified
success. At the end of the third act,
when one Of the grandest climaxes Of
the play is reached, the applause was
so profound that the curtain was ruDg
up three or four times in succession,
and even then the clamor continued
until Mr.. Barrett appeared before the
footlights. There we're other points
where the demonstrations fell little
short Of that alluded to. 1t was
remarked that Mr.. Barrett, as the
hunohback soldier hero L~auciotto,
acted it for all Il was worth, or in
other words, left no point unde-
veloped. Mr.. Louis James, as the
Jester, a character much after the
fashion Of Booths Bertuccio, acted in
so natural and effective a manner as
to win the unqualified approval Of
every spectator and Miss Marie VAIN
wright performed like a finished
artistic and looked very beautiful.
Her rich and becoming costumes were
much admired, while the scenic fea-
lures Of the tragedy were highly com.
plimented, All OF the company did
good work. The piece will be repeated
tonight for the last time during the
engagement.

After work in the Fellow Craft
Degree last night, at the Temple,
South Memphis Lodge was called
from labor to refreshment, and ad-
journed to Commandery Hall where a
sumptuous banquet had been provi-
ded. All the lodges in the city we're
well represented. About one hundred
and twenty. five brethren sat down at
the tables. The hall had been taste
fully decorated by and under the
direction Of Mrs, G. W. Goyer. In
the center between the two
tables there was an imposing
canopy Of eyergreens, ivy and
wreaths of flowers supported on four
floral decked pillars, the whok being
surmOunted by a large crown of rarest
exotics. At the head of the tables
was an imposing arch connecting the
two, and suspended in the center wal
a floral letter "G,n which has /
symbolic meaning to Masons. AS sale

one, embracing all the substantials ant

80 Photographs OF Mrs. Langtry, the
English beauty, are on exhibition in
various windows and public places
about the city, and many people stop
to scan them with critical eyes. Some
express the belief that the lady is
really handsome, while others are in
doubt about it. After looking half
an hour at one Of the most
stylish of Mrs. Langtry's pictures on
yesterday an observer was heard to
remark hal the lady looked well, but
il that chuckleheaded fellow Gebhardt
should trail along behind the lady to
this city, then a squad hereabouts
should get a bucket or two of those
nice eggs bought up several months
ago along Front street for Christmas
times and still on hand. Then
the man stepped into a wholesale
clothing store neal by and met a
prominent member Of the house, and
said: "Sir, l have just been looking al
Mrs. Langtry's pictures, and ! declare
that you bear q close resemblance to
her." The lady addressed blushed,
but bore it. Then he hit back by
saying that a young man neighbor of
his was very much like Gebhardt in
taste, style, manner and conduct, but
at his request the young beau's name
is omitted s.ai SD 5ra6d
AS Mrs. Langtry's visit is so close
at hand, the following description Of
her, as she appeared in a Northern
city, will be appropriate: "She is some-
what above the medium hight, with
bright blue eyes, a fair complexion,
revealing a suspicion of delicate
red, a nose refined in its thinness,
yet slightly tipped with a super
auous pod destroying its shape,

little too much length; "a mouth

White Beans.

We have never had better success
with our bean patch than this year.
And l am inclined to believe that one
great cause of my success was in early
planting. | have always been in the
habit of planting late. but the hot sun
in August. that we almost invariably
have, would cut the crop short, keep
ing them from filling we'll
This year planted May 10th. three
weeks earlier than usual. The ground
was well plowed, and narrowed fine
and rs smooth as possible, then laid of
in rows three and one-half feet apart:
three beans were dropped in Il hill. The
hills are about eighteen inches apart.
When we'll up they We're plowed with
a diamond plow, running the bar as
close to them as possible, throwing the
dirt away from them. Then they were
gone over with a hoe and every weed
cleaned out around the hill. In two
weeks the dirt was thrown back to them,
taking care to run the pillow shallow
so rs not to cover up too deep. They
made rapid growth and filled in July.
before dry weather came on. l do not
believe in cultivating after the vine be-
gins to blossom. My experience is that
the work should all be done before
that time. and if it is done as it should
be there is in reality no need of cult
waiting afterward. as working among
them causes them to make more bios
SONS, iniurin@ the first set and keeping
them from ripening evenly.
In pulling or harvesting beans pull
and pile three rows together in con-
venient piles, not too large as they are
liable to heat If only q small patch is
raised prefer to thresh out as soon as
they are dry enough, which can easily
be done. L clean a good smooth place
in the field and thresh them out there
with fail.
More farmers should plant a small
patch of beans, enough at least for their
own use; any ordinary family will
easily consume from one to three
bushels, and they are very healthful
and nutritious food, and can easily be
kept the whole year round, so that they
can be used when there is a scarcity of
other things to supply the table. If
there is any surplus they will find
ready sale ut good price.
Beans should have good rich soil to
be most profitable. but can be grown to
advantage on soil so poor that ma
ioritv of other crops would not be
found profitable. When large fields are
planted they are not called sure crop
by any means, but are generally
paving one. But every farmer can
raise what he needs for his own family
much cheaper than he can possibly buy,
especially when there is a partial fail
ure of crops. Cor. Prairie Farmer.
