prehenslon. Fine actress a. Claxton Is, she
found 1t an almost Sisyphean task to carry
the play through its first two acts. For
the balance OF the evening there was
palmer sailing. A great deal of the driyel
that characterized the opening acts disap
pears later on when the scenes begin to
display slightly greater measure of
probability. As Ogdrita, the young girl
made captive as a child by the Indians,
Claxton exhibits sweet naturalness that
Is very pleasant to look upon, aud later on
when her faculties reach mature develop

woman, cherishing ut the same tune an
implacable hatred for the slayer of her
parents.
Mr.. Chas. A. Stevenson, az Carlos, and
the Marquis del Monte, showed In his every
motion the finished actor, though slight
injection Of life would have materially
improved his playing. Little Lottie
Lodge, as Hdrie, made decided hit in the
first aud second acts, and her naive con
duct on the stage and thorough apprecia-
tion of what was expected Of her, evoked
for her much applause. The balance of the
cast was accept able enough. The scenic
effects in two or three instances were
quite good, notably at the end of the
| second act, where an ioe foe breaks

A aappy Family.

Notwithstanding sll reports to the
contrsrv, the officers of the Republican
national committee seem to have been q
happy family. They gave each other
6rst class certificates of character. Mr..
Steve Eikins pronounces Mr.. Jones a
model chairman. Some people have
barely intimated that he did not spend
much Of his own money but IL is croaked
that he and Elkins put their hands in
their pockets to clear the committee of
debt. They say /. was poor that II

votes would have z ven him this and
made him worsnipped idol. He would
not be derided as Pittsburg puddler.
The brilliant executive talent lurking in
the brains of the successful iron manu-
facturer would everywhere have been
noted, and that class Of our fellow

future to have had the heaviest respon-

A VERY forcible illustration of the
weakness of some editors and Of their
utter uDfitness to direct popular senti-
ment is furnished by their comments on
Mr.. Blaine's speech, and a contrast of
them with what they said of his letter
Of acceptance. In that document Mr..
Blaine INDUCED in the most honeyed
fattery Of the South. He declared then
tnat the elements which separate the
two sections of the country were I" fast
disappearing. Prejudices have yielded

diality warns the Southern and the

Curious Election Wagers.

Since the campaign has ended it Is
somewhat divertiDg to both victors and
vsnquished to read of the curious elec
ton wagers that were depending on the
result. The man who promised in the
event Of his presidential favorite's de
feat, to march in the parade of his polit
ical opponent has been conspicuously
numerous, and the wheelbarrow Hend
has been industriously working since the
result was determined. Some of the
wheelbarrow wagers struck out from the
old rut in the attachment to them thai
whenever the beaten stopped wheeling
the beater, general treat of all hands
was to follow. In the neighborine Dor
ouah of York the vanquished bound
himself to ca crow. and when 1t was
settled that Cleveland was elected, the
unsavory bird was consumed on toast
by the Blaine adherent. If this practical
method of eating crow were carried into
the editorial sanctums of the country,
there might be fewer political contra
dictions posing as influential journalists
Out in California two enthusiasts
agreed with each other that he whose
candidate was defeated should black the
boots Of him who had been successful, and
there is a Republican In that glorious
climate nov pursuing daily this pleasing
avocation. From Chicago comes wager
that the defeated party would saw cord
of wood to the tune OF o brass band in
front of the custom house and when =
few DAYS ago he performed his appointed
task, the feat was witnessed by curions
thousands. Twp New York brokers de-
termined to win for themselves immor-
tality as the inventors of an ingenious
election wager, and they agreed that
when the melancholy Fourth Of Novem
Der had come and gone, he who affiliated
with the beaten party would grind a
hand organ in the crowded thorouehfares
of New York city on the day before
Thanksgiving, taking mp at the same
time n collection for the benefit Of the

Then in the unclassiaed group Of wa
gers come the rowing Of the victor
variable number Of miles, the shoveling
Of the first snow and the thou
sand and one vagaries that range
through the mind Of the human when
the election excitement is at fever heat.
Wagers of this kind In which the idea of
gain is not present, differ much from the
pecunisry wagers that are usually made
IN hot blood and often with the mercenary
object directly In view. The frst variety,
or smi,sble wager, leaves no sting be
hind it, for the fact of Its making argues
the possession by the makers OF . more
than average share Of the milk of human
Kindness. In the many curious forms
they take are illustrated the various
kinks in human character.
