 BUFFALO BILL.
 TVha PuFoIo EiII no~oh;,ok;a. the Grand Opera House last evening before a large audience in ''The Prairie Waif.' This is better play than some in which Buff falo Bill has taken part, and though he is nct yet great actor, he is improving. His acting last evening was fair, and he slew h. dians and did fancy shooting as well as ever. He has better company than he had last year. The audience was enthusiastic, and when Buffalo Bill foiled white villains and killed red ones made known it's appreciation by hearty applause. Bill still has strong hold upon the minds of part of the Ameri- can people who admire his career as 6 scout and Indian fighter.

Masonic,

Quinnipiac Lodge of Perfection, A. and A. Scottish Rite, meets on Monday night January IA, for work in the 14th degree Six candidates are expected to be present and action will be had on a number of proposi- tions for membership.
 We take the following item from the Masonic Chronicle" for January:
 GA WORD FROM CONNECTICUT"
 cit was our pleasure to be present with the Quinnipiac Lodge of Perfection, New Haven, Ct., on December Sd, 1883, in their new asylum, on which occasion the degree of perfection was worked in full form. It has been our good fortune to have seen that degree worked in several lodges in this State under what is now styled the northern juris- dictiop bodies, and to say that the Quinn1- piac excels, is but justly due to them; in fact the work was better than we have ever seen it done in any State.
 'Our commendation cannot be too strong of the work and the new sanctuary furnished newly and expressly for the A. and A. Rite. and contrasts favorably with the rooms In which these degrees are generally worked, with paraphernalia borrowed for the occa sion. This independence and elegance IS just what we should expect from the men who compose this body. We find among them representative men of nearly every profession. We find the utmost harmony. We find them growing, (seven brothers being received at this communication We find them thoroughly imbued with the knowledge that they are right and determined to push the work. We feel that the old banner of the Supreme Council, 33d degree A. and A. Rite for the United States of America, their Territories and Dependencies is in the hands of worthy brothers and safe, and that it will never again be desecrated or sold out to foes of our beloved order. All honor to the Ouinnipiao bodies.n

A handsomely printed and buff covered pamphlet entitled in Eye olden time" letter. ing, ''Ye Historic of an Olde Harde- Ware Store, !" has been issued by John E. Bassstt & Co.,, commemorative of the centennial of this old house, established in 1784. The present firm has come down with only five removes from the founding of the house. The successive firms were Titus Street, 1874, Street & Hughes 1792, S. Hughes & Son 1921, E. B. M. Hughes, 1888, and John E. Bassett $ Go. The work gives g plan or outline of Chapel street from Church to State as it was a hundred years ago, with the names of occupants of the buildings. Said plan was drawn by the late Deacon Charles Bostwick, from memory, in 1845, he being the only one person surviving who resided or
 did business in that section of Chapel street in 1878. At that time every one of the buildings was wooden. Much other inter esting matter of local historical interest is contained in this commemorative work, which has called forth complimentary and congratulatory words from many of our leading citizens.

THE VISITING ENGLISHMEN.
Liam Tifl


We have shown by bazoning the crests of our
English forefathers upon cOupes and stationery
that we dcyOutly owe them reverence, and are
sorry for having cut of our succession TO their Illus
trous titles We have by the aid of a good deal of
tact and some lying, succeeded in getting mp Blue
Book. 1T is not very big Blue Book yet, but 1t
takes after its papa the Blue Book of Great Britain
and if we can only get it to grow, it will in time be
enough like him TO deceive n stranger-particulary
in the cover The only thing to fear is that too
much nursing will kill it, Then, we have been very
ObsequiOus to English Lords and Ladies who have
come over to " do" the country, make money or
economic. Some of them treated us very shabbiy,
too but we mmbly blind to that as ser
Aants are to their masters parOXysms OF wrath. We
were determined to overlook all snubs and do the
polite thng-and we did 1t.
Last summer some of us invited an EngilShman to
our splendid COuntryhOmes on the Hudson. lie was
not a Lord or even Lords son nephew or first
cousin, but he was undenably English. The enter
tainments to which we invited him were very bril-
daughters there to amuse him. OF course we expected
that he would be civil enough to dress and conduct
himself as he would were he at home. We were
somewhat surprised when he made his appear ance
in a brinde Chcyot suit, considerably stained and
dusty, and persisted IN wearing II at dinner, lawn
party luncheon and musicale as long as he was our
guest. Moreover. he brusque to our best
friends rude to some of relatives, snubbed many
of our most desirable acquaintanccs and in four in
stances not only StudlOusly omitted the ceremony
of a dinner call, but even failed To recognize the
host and hostess who had extended him the hos
ptalitv. But were not angry. We knew away
down in our small hearts that while he is English,
we are only Americans, and we knew that he knew
that We knew it. We invited him again, and he
came But suppose n contemplate American had so
treated US The very thought invests us IN goose
flesh.

William O. Kinney the dealer in fancy goods at

al No lj2 West Forty -ninth-st Monday afternoon,
spent the night at St. Stephens Hotel IN West
Elcvcnth-st., and returned to his home. yesterday
morning. The money and valuablcs which he had
with him when lie went from home were in his
possession when he returned except a valuable
watch and chain. Mr.. Kinney has been u with
nervous prOstratOn since last spring, and Of atc his
malady has affected his brain at times. He refused
TO eat ANYTHING on Monday before going from home,
as he feared some one wished to poison him. Dr.
Thl of West Thirtleth-St. and Dr. Hamilton held
a consultation in regard to Mr.. knzeys case soon
after his return and decided that be ought TO re-
ceve careful attention in an asylum for time;
The physicians believed their patients mental
alteration would prove to be only temporary, but
they thought that he might do some injury to him
self it allowed entire liberty. Early in the after
noon Mr. Kinzeys friends persuaded him that II
would be better for him to live at quiet hotel up-
town for time and he taken by George h.
Best of No. 270 West FOTty-secOnd-st., 20 Boom
ingdale Asylum. Mr. Kinzcy's malady has never
made him violent.
On Monday afternoon, after leaving home, he
called on number of his acquaintauces, and they
only noticed that he acted little strangely. At
the ST. Stephens Hotel there appeared TO be nothing
wrong with him, and in the morning he ate a
hearty breakfast and paid his score in the most
rational manner The disappearance of his watch
cannot be explained by his friends.
