His Boot I'm His Hand.

In front of q Detroit butcher shop
yesterday butcher sat cleaning a re-
volver. 1t was rusty old Colt, y
which had not been cleaned for years,
and was to be put in order and traded
and observed !:
"Of course there'll be an accident. :"
Eyes, presume So
"It isn't loaded, is it %
"Oh, no."
"But will 1t 60 off ?"
"It will"
81 never see revolver without
wanting TO handle it. Let me look at
that weapon. All ! I'm satisfied now
that it doesn't contain any stray bull
lets. DO you suppose you could hit my
foot at that distance ?"
Certainly / could Now, if she was
loaded I'd take dead sight like that,
and pull the trigger, and-"
The shoemaker Jumped two feet high,
and yelled like an Indian, and when he
came down he danced and kicked and
galloped around until people thought
him crazy. 1t was ouly after a crowd
had collected and cornered him up in
the shop that any one found out the
trouble. The butcher had put bullet
through the sole Of his foot close enough
to draw blood.
az told you she'd go off p howled
the shoemaker, as he sat with his boot
in his hand.
"And didn't agree with you ?" In.
nocently responded the butcher.

The second Performance.

The" Silver King" was presented
last evening for the second time, and it
is gratifying to be able to state that the
house was crowded, and those who fail
ed to secure their seats we're met with
the announcement of standing room
only. The oftener Mr.. Bentley and
Miss Tracy are seen In their matchless
impersonations of Wilfred Denver and
his wife, the better they are appreciat-
ed. These artists have studied their
parts with such assiduity that for the
time being their own ideality is lost,
and the spectators feel that they are in
deed looking upon much wronged
man and suffering woman. The audience
showed their appreciation by calling
both Mr.. Bentley and Miss Tracy be-
fore the curtain several times.
Mr.. Charles Foster as Elijah Coombs
did even better last evening than on
Monday night, and several times con-
vulsed the audience, and brought down
the house with his grim humOr. Miss
Edgiugton as Olive the wife of Captain
Skinner, acted her part to perfection,
while Mr.. Registers impersonation of
Harry Corkett, who can safely be styled
a dude, was unrivaled. All the other
characters were sustained in a manner
that showed careful study, and the
strictest attention to the most minute
details.
This evening the last performance
will bs given in this city, and those
who have not yet seen his great and
highly instructive drama, should not let
the opportunity slip of witnessing it.
A few more such realistic plays pre-.
sented by FIRST class companies will dc
much toward elevating the drama and
enable its votaries to truly say,
"Once did stern moralists the stag
condemn.
The stage in turn now censures them. y

The panic in Victoria Hall, Sunderland,
England. destroyed more lives Saturday
evening than are likely to be destroyed
by the tall of any one building during the
next ten years. The loss of life By the
burning of crowded theatres has almost
invariably resulted from the foolish con-
duct of the crowd, and not from swift
ness of the flames which would make the
escape of an orderly audience impossible.
II is evident that much of the blame of
the Sunderland disaster rests upon the at
tendant who left the door fastened so that
but one person could pass out at time,
but even his monstrous blunder would not
have resulted in the death of 1856 children
and the manning of many more had.the
200 inmates of Victoria Hall been thor
oughly trained for action in panic. The
catastrophe will deepen the conviction in
this community that the fire drills in our
public schools are extremely important and
should be most thoroughly performed.
Its introduction should be effected in all
the schools of the globe, and instruction
rs to what action should be taken in times
OF danger should be made part of the
education of children the world over
". y. Times.
