week at the Zoo.
Hyde and Behman's Ministries, presenting a
new and original entertainment, will hold the

hackneyed in the programme. A laughable sketch

COTTERAL'S DISAPPEARANCE.
Circumstances Surrounding the Disappear
ance Of Henry COunty's Ex-AuditOr.

No elew to the whereabouts of W. ". Cot
teral, of New Castle, whose mysterious disap-
pearance was noted yesterday, has been dis
covered as yet, although a circumstance hitherto
unpublished has been developed, which may
throw some light on the matter. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Cotteral, as auditor of Henry county,
had in his possession about So, 700 of school
funds, which amount has never been paid
over to the county. He was to
have met the County Commissioners on
Monday, to settle up his accounts, and the sup
position is that, finding himself unable to make
the settlement, he left for parts unknown. His
property is ample, and he could easily have made
good the deficiency by sacrificing some of it. His
friends do not accept this as the proper explana-
ton, and are still of the opinion that he has met
with foul play, and, in support of this, they cite
the fact that on Saturday he squared up all
his debts, paying among others, 500 to E. NJ.
johnson. They argue that if he had contem-
plated defrauding anyone he would not have
paid any of these debts.
A special dispatch from the New Castle CORE
s~pondent of the Journal says:
"Mr. Cotterals bondsmen as county auditor
have been officially notified that he is short to the
county in the sum of 81, 900, and that he had
agreed to pay over this sum by the 9TH inst. The
statement that Mr.. Cotteral is worth $50, 900 is
not substantiated by the tax duplicate, which
shows property entered for taxation in his name
in the sum of but 81, $40. Many
of Mr.. Cotterals most devoted friends do not be-
lieve that he would voluntarily abscond on &C.
count of this trouble, and hold to the theory of
foul play. Yet it must be admitted that a ma
jority of the citizens of New Castle feel conf
dent that the ex-auditor will turn up alive and

A "Cultured" Advertisement.


~ IUEIVTs
If there is any lingering doubt among the
Philistines who dwell afar from the Gilded
Dome that Boston is a city of culture, 1 am sure
that heresy might be ~dispelled by a glance at an
advertisement that appeared in the Transcript
a journal dear to the heart of Beacon Hill. This
is to the effect that Amy family or persons of
culture travelling for the winter can find a thor
oughly reliable, conscientious and efficient lady
to take charge of house during absence, or to go
as attendant travelling companion. Address, " etc.
You will perceive that no Boston woman pro-
poses to take charge of a house during its own
ers absence without being assured that the alb
sent householders are persons Of culture" The
advertisement is so typical that it has furnished
US no little amusement.

LORD C~oLERIDGs, who recently re-
turned to England from a trip to America,
has made a few neat remarks on the sub
iect of "After-dinner Speeches Among
other things he said: ITO my mind the
most wonderful speaker in the world is
Henry Ward Bcecher, the celebrated
Brooklyn divine. He can speak at any
time, at any place and IN any subject.
His pyrotechnic brain, necessarily whiz-
zing and whirling, shoots out thousands
of bright thoughts, which he readily
clothes in most musical and expressive
language. The worst speaker l ever
heard is Dying Boucicault, who, though
a capable Irish comedian and adapter Of
French plays, boggles and stammcrs, hes
itates and trips when he rises to re-
spond, and resumes his seat without
having produced the slightest effect except
that of disappointment. On the whole, |
think the Americans are more telling af-
ter-dinner ; speakers than the English.
There are Daniel Dougherty, the eminent
advocate of Philadelphia; Sunset Cox,
Ben Butler and ChaunceY NJ. Depew,
whose names are well known on this side
of the ocean, and who, when they get on
their legs, usually %corruscate to the edit
cation of their hearers.

The workingman has quite suddenly
become a conspicuous figure. He hasun-
I'll lately been allowed to worry along en-
tirely UNDECIDED and unnoticed, but now
he has more friends than a healthy man
can shake a stick at. He can scarcely
turn a corner without meeting some one
who feels the most tender solicitude re-
garding his individual welfare, and his
scruples against drinking are apt to be
scattered to the winds through wholesale
invitations to convivial indulgence. After
enduring deceptions and disappointments
the w~orkingman should now have learned
something from bitter experience. He
should think a little and not allow him
self to be duped by the politicians arts,
nor blindly follow under selfconstituted
leadership. In this way he may accom-
plish many things that seem a great
wsy of.
