The Man who wanted 10 Bet.
70. thu RIpIfKIIQAM

George f. Adams, a Government in
spector from Massachusetts Is at the
Malta House in this city. Mr.. Adams
IL is said is the gentleman who, over the
signature of +" A former Republican,
sent communication to the Republi-
can offering TO bet largely that Cleve-
land would he elected. He is informed
that a gentleman in this city over the
signature of " An old soldier" offered to
take him up. bnt he never received any
response from him. ,
Mr.. Adams is also reminded that II Is
NOT consistent with Independents who
hold Government positions to offer to
bet on the result of elections to be held,
or take any other part in politics. AT
the same time, if he is still anxious to
wager bets on the election of Cleveland,
he can be accom- mo- ated in this city.

Madam BOn1fac q.

There was good audience at the
Opera House last evening, to witness
Catherine Lewis and her company in
the new French opera entitled, Madam
BOniface." The company labored un-
der great difficulties, the second lady of
the company having met with serious
accident at Orange, N. j., the previous
evening, whereby she was injured go
severely that she had to be sent to New
York for medical treatment. This
necessitated a change in the cast, and
az the troupe did not arrive in this city
until nearly 2 o'clock there was very
little time for rehearsal.
To make matters still worse, the
music, which was thought to be on the
train, did not arrive until after 5
o'clock, and Professor ReybOld very
properly declined to permit his orches-
ira to undertake TO perform 1t, without
sufficient time for practice, and the
consequence was a piano had to be pro-
cured, and the company had to depend
on it and a violin for the accompani-
ment. With these difficulties 1t is moi
to be expected that a first class per
formance could be given, and there IL
little wonder that the majority of the
audience were dissatisfied.
| Miss Lewis no doubt keenly felt thu
situation, and did her best 10 make
up for the shortcomings of others. The
principal male characters were wei
susta ined dramatically, but with
single exception, the singing was poor
and not what was expected from com
pany travelling with Miss Lewis. o
the opera ITSELF and the plot, the leas
that is said about 1t the better ther
is no doubt of its popularity in Paris
but it is scarcely probable that 1t viii
ever attain much favor with the lover
of opera in this country. The costume
are very handsome and attracted con
siderable attention.

Fatal Accident ut Greenviile

Shortly after 8 o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon, a young son Of George p.
Satterth waite, of Fairville, Chester
County, Pa, had narrow escape from
instant death, by being struck by train
on the w. & N. Railroad, aG the Green
Vile crossing of the Kennett turnpike.
The Young man was driving pair Of
horses attached to an empty farm wagon
on his way to this city after load OF
grain from Hartman u Fehrenbach's
hrewery. just before arriving at the
crossing an extra train was approach
| ing from the northward, and the engi
| ne.r blew his whistle and rang his bell
IA a warning to the driver OF the ap'
proaching team. The yonng man coui'
not help seeing the train coming down,
but he evidently thought that he eou Id
get over before the train reached the
crossing, and accordingly made the at
| tempt, when the engine struck the team
right on the track, instantly killing the
near horse, and making complete wreck
of the wagon, WINE young Satter,
tb waite was hurled from the wagon and
fell some distance away, badly stunned
land bruised. After recovering from the
ahock he arose and proceeded to walk
lbut had only taken few steps when h'
fell. after wbiph he was assisted to the
station, and DR.. Chandler summoned
who rendered such medical assi-tanc'
as he could at the tune. The man wal
| then sent to his home, at Fairville
where he is attended by DIR. Wendell
, Fortunately no bones were broken, bu
the Young man received severe shock
n which NAV prove serious. The othe
: horse was cut loose from the wagon AM
escaped without injury. The railroa
crossing at this point Ia not considere
tdanoerous. as when trains are comm
south they can be easily seen.

ROYAL Shots.

Henry VII, when n young man, was a
famous marksman; and in the remembran-
GERS Office, London, may now be seen an ac-
count of his expenditures, namely: Lost to
my Lord Merging at buttes, six shllings and
eight pence :" and again, "Paid to Sir Ed
ward Borough, thirteen shillngs and four
penc., which the king lost at buttes with his
cross bow" Prince Arthur, the eldest son
of the king, was noted shot, and was a
member of the London Bowman's club that
met at Mile end. He was so expert that
good shots were called Arthur. His brother
Henry, it is said, "shot so strong and as
great a length as any of his garde." From
the "Bowman's Glory" an ancient treatise,
il is evident that Charles |. was lover of
the sport The wifi, of Charles ii. was pre-
sented with badge of silver weighing TWEEN
ty-two ounces, by the fraternity Of bowmen,
for the interest she took in the sport Some
curious rules were promulgated by Henry
VIII. One was to the effect that no person
who had reached the age of twenty-four
years might shoot at any mark at less than
two hundred and twenty yards distance. The
force used in firing must have been prodig-
ious, as Carew states that at 480 yards the ar
rows would pierce an ordinary armor. Rob-
ert Arundel was what is now known as q
fancy shot, turning suddenly, and firing also
from behind his head, and standing upon it.
There is a curious account by Hall, "of GER
tain man, who came to his grace, King
Henry the Eighth, with bow and arrow,
and he desired his grace to see him shoot, for
that time his grace was cOntented |; the man
put his one foot in his bosom, and did shoot
and shot very good shot, and well towards
his mark whereof not only his grace, but
all others greatly merveiled; so the King
gave him rewarde," and for this feat he at.
forwards obtained the name of "Fote-in
Bosom"

There arrived in Detroit the other day.

lage in the interior to get married. The day
and the hour had been set and here he was
fifty miles away and no show to get there
unless he hired q locomotive. Acting upon
the advice of the depot policeman the young
man had an interview with one of the chief
officials of the road, who offered the use of
locomotive for $40.

was married to Frank"
"Then you won't want the locomotive, Of

"And you don't feel bad over being left ?"

The Boy and the Man.

Many years ago poor shepherd boy, clad
in an old plaid mantle, went into book
store in Edinburgh and asked for second
hand Greek Testament, being unable to buy
a new one. The bookseller having handed
him one, the boy asked the price.
"For whom do you want 2" asked the
bookseller.
"For myself" answered the boy.
"Can you read Greek?"
eyes, sir" was the modest reply.
"Then," said the bookseller, "if you will
read and translate few sentences / will give
you the book"
The boy, highly pleased with the proposal,
read the Greek text and then translated into
English
"Take the book my boy" said the book
| seller; ''you are welcome to it."
The boy thanked him, capped the book
under his arm and walked off in triumph to
the pasture to attend the sheep.
Many years afterward that same boy (ah |
he had become man now stepped into that
same book store, entered into conversation
with the bookseller and asked him if he re-
membered giving secondhand Greek Tesla
ment to poor shepherd boy one morning
eyes, Remember it WE'LL said the book
seller, land should like to know what be-
came of that boy, for l am certain he has
risen to eminence in some profession or
other"
"Sir," said the man, "you see him before

John Brown of Haddington, one of the most
eminent authors and commentators of the

1t is well known fact that the children in
humble circumstances often succeed better

owing to their being stimulated by theil
scanty means to improve to the utmost tht
talents which God has given them.
