Gain by Loss,

Lord Thurlow, one of the ablest oil
English Lord Chsncellors, was the

took place In his own dining-room
which made noblemen hesitate before
accepting his hospitality. The greatest
men In the realm shrank from an en-
counter where they were certain to be
overwhelmed with foul words.
But King George III. was a privi-
legged person from whom even the
great Lord Chancellor must accept q
rebuke without reply. And the
monarch managed to inflict 1t without
violating courtesy, with 8 sharp wit
worthy Of Talleyrand. Lord Thurlow
came late to an important cabinet
meeting, and apologized for his tradiness
by saying that he had fracas with
cabman and lost his temper.
The King answered. quietly: Lost
your temper, my Lord? l congratulate
You heartily. hope you may never

temper that ever knew"

KIT, Tn g Arkan.aw Trav eler.

The Tay leure Combination appeared
at the Opera House last Saturday
night. before medium.sized audience
in " Kit, The Arkansaw Traveller. u
This play was originally written for
f. s. Chanfrau, and presented by him
nearly five thousand times. Since
Mr.. Chanfrau's death, a few mont
ago, his son, Henry L. Chanfrau, has
been playing Kit BEDDING. the leading
character.
Many of those who were present last
Saturday night had seen his father in
the same role, and they were agreeably
surprised to see it 30 ably portrayed by
the son, who has no doubt inherited
his fathers genius. In the second
scene of the first act 1t must be confess
ed that Mr.. Chanfrau seemed a triiie
weak, but as the play progressed,
" Richard became himself" and he
ably delincated the passions of deeply
wronged man, who lived only for re-
venge. He was called before the cur
tain several times, and at the close of
the third act received perfect ovation.
The character OF Manuel Bond, the
scheming gambler, was sustained in
an excellent manner by W. o. Eagle,
and he proved himself an excellent
actor.
The remainder of the company are
all first class, and every one played his
or her part in An artistic manner. If
it Is true, as reported, that the COM
pany is about TO disband, it is certainly
to be regretted.

A Dolmar EIOpemeut.

Jacob Turpin. well known resident
OF Delmar, Sussex County, Delaware,
had for some time spent his days in
happiness with his young and hand
some wife, in that secluded town. Not
very long ago, James f. Hesrn, a cou.
sin OF Mrs. Turpin, who is represen ted
to be lazy, idle, worth less fellow, came
TO board with them, and then the trou-
BILE commenced,
Mrs. Turpin is only about 20 years of
age, while Haarn is 40 and very ugly.
Notwithstanding the difference in their
ages, his attentions to the woman, which
were encouraged by her, were OF such a
nature as to cause frequent quarrels be-
tween her and her husband. The hus-
oand was Jealous, as he considered the
attentions bestowed by Hearn rather
more than the relationship between
them called for or justified.
The more the husband objected, the
more his wayward wife encouraged
Hearn, and matters continued in this
way until the Sunday before Christmas,
when Hearn started away in buggy,
saying that he was going to Seaford.
Monday morning Mrs. Turpin prepared
her husbands breakfast as usual, and
he went to his work, but when he re-
turned at noon, his dinner was MT
Ready, the fire was out and his wife
missing.
Upon searching the house he fouud
that her clothes we're also missing, and
his earnest inquiries developed the fact
that she had purchased ticket at the
station and started for Seaford. The
husband Immediately made up his
mind that as Hearn had gone to Sea-
ford the wife had followed him, and
started for that place himself. When
he arrived he was not long in learning
Tn at the guilty couple had not only met
at Sea but had already left that
pt ace on the boat for Baltimore.
In" affair has caused considerable ex-
citement In the usually quiet little town
or Delmar, and the people are very in
dignant at Hearn and Mrs. Turpin. Mr..
Iurpin Is represented to be hard work
ing, industrious man, and he and his
wife lived happy, until the advent Of
hearn In their house. Hearn is also
charged with having ruined two other
women, and is said to be worthless

Mr.. Mitchell never took a
lesson in painting but having a natural
fondness for picture painting he
naturally took to it, and though he is
now baggage master, his painting Of

christmas entertainment at German
