The Elite Of ChebOygan Gather at
the Opera House by Hundreds
to Witness the Comedy of
School
Given by the Owl Club i'm COnnec-
ton with the Teachers and Pu.
pills Of the Public School.
Everybody Delighted.
Happy Pupils Closc their Books Until
Another Term.
Everybody Delighted.

The great event of the week occurred
at the Opera House on Wednesday even
ing, when the play of school" was rem
dered in such manner as to rob one of
the power of criticism and compel him
to join the vast assembly in laughter,
tears and applause. The scenic display,
the floral Establishment, and all auxotic
aids had converted the stage and sur
roundings into a charming picture of
beauty and elegance. The orchestra
executed classic harmony 80 richly, as
the people sail, "the sweetest music ever
heard here" and we could not repress
pride, arising from the fact that the di
rector, Eugene f. Lyons, is one of the
TRIBUNE boys.
S. S. Eddy was such success as prin-
cipal that we should not be surprised
if he is applied for to take college pro-
fessOrship. Henry j. Miner as under
teacher, had the meanest character on
earth, and how the proud merry Miner
ever submitted so gracefully to his
abuse, insult and suffering we cannot
tell. He was voted everywhere COM
mon nuisance. fell violently in love but
the disease was never contagious. Art
does wonders. w. c. Thompson as Lord
BeaufOy was as cool, irOnical and COM
prehensive in his correct playing as a
Lord can be who is real Lord. Prof.
Z. d. Sutherland as Beau Farintosh was
tremendous success, playing the Eng
lish gentleman to perfection. W. l..
Barr as Jack POynts threw himself
into the genuine spiait with such
ease, grace and utter abandon as
vol with the entire audience. Miss
Edith Keebles as Mrs. Sutcliffe, was an
improvement on the original character:
she sustained her reputation as good
actress, and is purely attractive lady
everywhere. Miss Mary Miner as Naomi
Tighe carried her difficult part through
with entire confidence and success. Miss
Libbie Hamilton as Bella Marsh was
popular in the play, popular in the audi
snce. and her acting was simply charm
ing, she seemed to be the reigning star
of the evening, although we don't know
who was. Misses Lottie Loucks, Jessie
ShadbOlt, Edith Ramsay and May Cham
bers were assigned subordinate parts in
the comedy, but they did SO well as to
impart additional pleasure and force to
the play. The play was repeated on
Thursday evening with renewed laurels.
The people were Toasted in reality, and
the the pupils on Thursday afternoon,
with bounding hearts of happy pleasure,
closed their books for vacation. May
they and their teachers enjoy every mo-
ment of their allotted rest, from study
and recitatiOns.
The thanks of the entire community
are due w. L. Barr for first projecting
such an excellent play. There was con-
siderable expense, but handsome sum
ia left to be appropriated to ornament
ing the school grounds.

Evils of Gossip.

Can the evil wrought by gossip be esti-
mated? We think not. A wise woman can
scarcely say too little in company if the
conversation trenches in the least on scan
dial. Many a social, undetermined woman
has been obliged to draw herself from a
neighborhood intimacy which would have
been pleasant otherwise because her re-
marks are returned by some idle tale-bearer
SO perverted as to make her doubt the ex-
istence OF genuine friendship, and accept
loneliness for the sake of the safety 1t
brought. You say we must talk about
something" Yes, and through that very
fact we see remedy for the evil, to no
thoroughly interest ourselves in other and
better things that we find no space to spare
for our neighbours affairs. Let US talk OF
our work, our homes, our house plants, our
books, or our babies. Let us teach ouI
eyes to find beauty everywhere, while We
blind them by constant watchfulness Il
blemishes. Never under any circumstan
ces, cast the first stone. Then if any errini
neishbor goes down, you cannot blam'
yourself for assisting the downfall.

Trot Forth the Libel Suits.
The 7imes.

The Times.
That libel cyclone that Dorsey, Brady &
Co. were to start off against THE TIMES and
other leading Journals OF the country, seems
to be slow in getting under way. If the
Star Route thieves really want to find Out
just how to prove their villainy in a week
or ten days time in court of justice, lei
them tackle healthy, progressive newspa
per. They will thus learn more in day
about their thieving than government law
yers at 500 per diem would teach them in {
month.

EXERCISE.

Exercise is generally considered too ON
nipotent; and relying on its restoring power
people run into every kind of extravaganza
in living, apparently in the firm faith that
an evening or morning ride will fully in
DENLY them against any deleterious results
from such exeesses. They seem to think
that late hours, excessive drink and glut-
tonous eating, may all be INDUCED in with
IMMUNITY, if they will but occasionly submit
themselves to gentle joIting in a carriage,
or the almost imperceptible motion of an
am6ling nag. Exercise Is an indisputable
capital assistant in the preservation OF
health; but without the concurrent aid OF a
temperate and prudent course Of life, it is
but a broken reed to lean upon for the pro
motion of q healthful state Of body or
mind.

Gazette.

Gazette.
Having postponed action on the bids for
erecting a new bridge across tho Chrstiana
pt Market street, the Levy Court should
follow this movement by dropping the sub
jeot altogether. Repairs to the bridge will
cost much less than the interest on the
amount required for the new structure, and
there is every reason why the county should
not be put to any extra expense at present,
The Wilmingtonian., 1883-06-23
NEVER.

Never eat any article of food simply to
save it, as the stomach cannot well afford
to do extra labor just for the sake of saving
a few mills. 1t is better economy to throw
such things to the swine or the birds. Dys-
pepsia implies loss far greater than could
possibly result from the loss of little food,
which ordinarily, might be kept till the
next meal.
Never eat in haste in consequence of a
want of sufficient time. 1t is far better to
take one half the usual amount of food
(that might be enough, even), than to rend-
er the meal indigestible by improper haste.
What is gained in time is lost in the amount
of nourishment appropriated. 1t is imphat-
ically true in this case that ''haste makes
waste"
Never imagine that the more you eat the
more you will be nourshed for the opposite
is often true. We are nourished by what
We digest, and not simply by what is taker
into the stomach. In some cases the labor
of digestion destroys more strength than
the amount OF nourishmenJ will afford
There is more practical starving from too
much than too little.

What is the difference between a dull

minutes in the smoke will remove all pain

The trial of Geo. Amiss for the murder of John
J. Burner was commenced in the ITustng Court
OF Stanton yesterday. The court ruom was lam
med. The only witness examined was Leila
Lester, the keeper of the house in which the
tragedy occurred. She testified that Amiss went

herself between the combatants and begged Amiss
to deslst. Witness saw pistol but could not tell
which of the men had it, Burner told Aniss 10
let him alone and he would go away Amiss
pushed the woman across the bed, saving, "Iou
have caused this" Burner then came out Of the
room and told witness he was shot in the novels.
Witness helped Burner to the hotel
Just about the close of the testimony an extra
ordinary scene occurred in the court room. Mr.,
White, senior counsel for the defence, was stand.
ing on the outside of the railing and his associate
General Skecn, was seated near him. The Judge
suggested that caunsel should be inside the en-.
closure, and Mr.. White stated that owing to deaf
ness he was unable to hear from his chair The
Judge told him to remain where he was, and Mr..
Echols, prosecuting attorney. said. in an under.
tone, i suppose General Skeeu is also deaf" Mr..
White asked him to repeat the remark which
Mr.. Echols did, Mr.. White in very excited
manner declared that he would have moth.
ing more to do with the case, graspcd his hat and
left the court room. Several sharp passages had
occurred between the counsel before, but explana
tons were made and the difference was settled

HAMILTON, Va. Feb. 14.-Februarv is
fully up to Eennors predictions so far.
Yesterday our streets reminded one of John
Gilpins famous ride through the wash of
Edminston so gay. To-day we are on solid
ground again, and so it goes sometimes up
and sometimes down. 1t is hard weather
on livery horses for this is the season the
drummers must travel, and woeful roads
they are having. Everybody predicts a
late spring and farmers look 4 little gloomy
but the rise in wheat is i pretty good offset.
There is but little news alloat. A good
deal of sickness in and around our town,
mostly confined to the children. Our two
doctors are kept pretty busy all the time
| David HiXson, for many years previous to
the war, sheriff Of this county. died yester-
day morning at the residence Of John. w.
Nixon, near Wheatand. in the SD wear of
his age. He was bachelor, and wealthy,
his property all i'll bonds and stocks. 1t is
supposed it will amount TO from $4,000 TO
100000.
Murphy Shumate another of Loudouns
old citizens was buried yesterday. He was
the father Of Lewis NJ. Shumate, former
County Superintendent Of Schools and
man honored and loved by large circle of

Malhon G.. Hatcher, of Cupeper, is a
guest OF his brother at the old homestead
here and is warmly greeted by his MANY

There is still nothing doing in politics
publicly, but the under current IS being STIR

there are evidences of some earnest work
Of course we will beat the Coaitionists no
matter what office they contend for, nor
who their candidate is 1t is generally be-
lieved the contest will be for the Treasurer

Our village is full of drummers. and while
they make the livery business active. thew
make horses suffer. One of said drummers.
formerly of this place. made his first trip
last week and in one day came back so
hoarse he could hardly speak. We advised
him to rest day, try it again, and 90 slow.
He is acting on our advice now and we
think he will be success. JABEE.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY ID.

A SPECIAL dispatch from Richmond says
that there was much disappointment at the
action Of the democratic committee in not
calling a convention of the party at m earl
Ter day. The committee however. had an
idea that by drawing the line too close now
they would cause the readiusters to continue
to act with Malone and decline 10 vote for
democrats in the spring election. The dis
patch says:
The Mahoneites were really anxious that
the democrats should not organize now, and
so the action of the committee gratifies
them
The action Of the committee need not pre-
vent a thorough organization for the May
elections. Another dispatch says:
members Of the committee from all
sections of the State represent that the dem
ocrats are more solidiied since the last cleo
ton than at any time since the Malone
movement began. Some Of the readjusters
concede that the next Senate will be close.
with slight chances in favor Of their oppo.
nents having bare majority in that body.
The same persons admit that they cannot
count a majority in the House Of DELEGATE s
for their party exceeding seven Members
of the committee report that many Of those
who last year supported Mahones candi-
dates will vote with the democrats in the
State contest this year. Malone, however
is preparing To begin the campaign at once
He is already Systematically at work reor-
ganizing his forces paying special attention
to the Southwest. The indications are that
he will make !. fight for the local offices in
every county in the State at the election to
be held in May, It is probable that the
democrats will permit their county organi-
zatlon to act in these contests TO suit them
selves. In many counties no issue will be
made if it can be avoided. 1t is stated that
letter was read to the committee yester.
day from Congressman Fulkerson, in which
he expressed the warmest sympathy with
the democrats"
