follow the conductor, who himself

the entire body played in such perfect

that can hardly be described; but the

When Agustin DAILY coined the
phrase, "a play of contemporsneous
human interest" he well described, al
though in somewhat grandiloquent
terms, the class of dramas to which
"Pique, " divorce" and some dozen
other similarly emotional productions
belong. Anything which treats of
heart and home is sure of popular APP
proval, whether it be between boards
or on the boards. 1t is this fact which,
despite their sensational claptrap and
other faults, has made these plays sue
cessful, and the artist who can depict
their emotions need never lack an au-
dience. Miss Coombs, though past the
heyday Of youth, is still an actress of
indisputable merit, thoroughly up
in the technicalities of her art,
with a fine voice and an
imposing presence. She enlists atten-
ton from the moment of her appear
ance on the stage, N interest does
not flag during her presence. She is at
her best in emotional parts, and has
scored a success here in the past two
nights. She has also All excel ent sup
port, a most essential factor in the
success of n play where QUE Of the
parts can affnd to be o~vershadowed.
Mr.. E. j. Maggie is an unusually good

of Lawyer Jitt was a meritous one,

exception.

The latest advices from the various
live stock markets may be condensed
into the following summary: Cattle
are generally dull and slow for the
higher grades, except at n or two
points, while medium and low grade
stuff is steady, the quantities Of stock
on sale being fairly liberal. Hogs are
in heavy supply everywhere, and al.
though a moderately brisk trade is kept
up in the principal markets, prices are
again weakening, especially on the
lighter grades. Sheep are uniformly
dull and hard sale, no exception what
ever being reported from any source,
with a noticeable shrinkage in prices.
English advices report the trade in
American live cattle quiet and un-
changed. while sheep are quite active
and somewhat higher than for a week
or two ast.-Pittsburgh Stockman.

We know moisture is in the ground.

IT says the rain Is In the cloud.
The peac ok appears on the scene,
And. with Its spots both black and green,
Flies up to roost and screams so shrill,
He Is heard DER all the hill,
Saying that the sun is set;
In the morning we will be wet.

On the prospect OF the morrow.

Come from the vermin OF the wood,
The owls halloa. the children scare,
Thus he tells when the rain Is near.
II kill the snake and hang It up,
You win ind this is good luck;
And this Will always bring the rain
To people who are not profane.
The gnats bite aud scratch In vain,
Because they know II is going to rain,
The cat, with her silken paws,
Washing there her whiskeredj Jaws,
When these signs together come,

FORT RUSSELL ITEMS.

The officers hop will be given to-

Pete" tells a good story in regard
to obtaining a supply of ''tanglefoot.''
At one time while the troops were
changing station, at the close of the
war, the boys were feeling blue over a
lack of sufficient stimulant to keep the
spirits elevated to a fighting pitch. On
the steamer were several barrels OF
whisky, and the temptation, was great
to appropriate it to the general relief
fund; bnt the great question was how
to do it without being detected. A
meeting was held and a committee on
ways and means was appointed to de-
wise some means of accomplishing this
most desired end. After consultation
the committee requested every man to
furnish a blanket. The heads Of the
barrels we're knocked in and the blank
cts saturated and closely packed in
their respective knapsacks. Upon the
discovery of the loss Of SO valuable a
portion of his cargo. the captain of the
boat had every canteen or thing capa.
BILE of holding liquid searched, but II
availed him naught. Upon landing,
and when tents were pitched, camp
kettles were called into use and the
precious fluid wrung from the blank
cts, and when the hour Of tattoo came.
the camp responded with such gle
aS to denote a most signal victory. II
is a good story and to doubht 1t woult
be to cast a reflection on one of th,
truthful story tellers at the post.

FIT. LARAMIE. WYo., Nov. 27, 1888.
During last week a party of govern
ment teamsters were sent to the neigh
borhood of Laramie Peak for lumber.
On Saturday they camped at st. Dem
mis-, about thirty miles southwest of the
Peak. 1t appears they had liquor
among tliem, VIII CHI res ulled in a quar-
rel between one Rodgers and a man
named Williams, Transfers. In the
alteration which ensued, Rodgers
plunged a knife into the bowels of
Williams, causing his instant death.
The balance of the teamsters immedi-
ately took Rodgers in charge, detained
him and despatched a courier to the
fort. A squad of soldiers were sent
out with an ambulance and Rodgers
was transferred to headquarters. The
murderer will have a hearing before
the Justice Of the peace here to-day.
The body of Williams was brought
here yesterday In the ambulance.

UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH.
Commencement ExeFcises--Or.
atiOns by Judge Sneed and
Rev. Davis Sessums, etc.

Rev. Davis Sessums, Assistant Rsc-
tor of Calvary church, returned to the
city this morning after spending two
weeks at Sewanee. Mr.. Sessums had
been attending the commencement
exercises of the University OF the
South, which has just been brought
to close, and which the reverend
gentleman states proved to be of the
most interesting character, not only
showing forth its own progressive
strength and the remarkably high
standard Of attainments among its
students, but also encouraging its
friends anew with sure promise of its
future as the champion Of mental cul
ture, guided by Christian principles.
just preceding these exercises a con-
ference Of the Bishops Of the Southern
Diooeses, with clerical and lay dele.
gates, assembled in the Theological
Hall OF the University to take meas
ures for advancing the work OF the
Episcopal church among the negroes.
Should its action be confirmed by the
coming General Convention of that
church, to be held at Philadelphia in
October next, large missionary results
may be expected to flow therefrom.
