As this stern, but cruel exclamation,
burst from the proud, but thin lips of Al
gernon Socrates O'Brien, the fair Esme-
ralda Geraldine MeMurphy would fain
have tainted, but recollecting that the in
tervening garden gate would prevent her

trying with the other one to watch the old
mans approach from the rear, in order
to guard against an application of his

Nights Rehearsal Says About Them.

Of a friend l was permitted to be present
at a rehearsal Of the above named associ-
alton at the Fords Opera House last even
ing. and as a visitor in the city, yet one
long identified with the theatrical world,
allow me the use Of a few lines, even at
this late hour-11 o'elock-tO express
both the surprise and qualification
occasloned by the exhibition Of your
home talent. 'tThe Old. Old Story" is a
play that calls on each actor for the incest
characteriz alton, and, perhaps, is the more
difficult to perform on that account, be-
cause the adjuncts and the costumes are
all contemporary they belong TO our own
time: but even in the rehearsal, TO
which / refer, a warmly expressed
tribute is due to the splendid array
Of amateur talent, which is to appear in
the regular performance on Friday night.
There are many stock companies who
could not do half so well, and there are
few organizations in the country in which
exists such an evenness Of excellence and
apparent homeogenity in devotion to the
dramatic art as were manifested in this,
your home, company, in only its pTema-
iure work last night. The people Of sa-
yannah owe it 10 themselves to lend It
their liberal support. NEW YORK.

tering what is known as hydrant water
before it is pumped into the reservoir. 1t
may seem a Herculean task, but its i'm

its adoption. Without any data, not even

NEW YORK, May Il, 1888.
Though it may be irregular for physi-
clan to give a certificate in favor Of a pro-
prietary medicine, still, in the cause of
humanity, Iventure to say a word In ia
vor Of ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs,
which esteem the most remarkable ex-
ternal remedy of this century.
l have known these Plasters to cure
Spinal Weakness where the patient had
been confined for months to his bed. A
blacksmith of my acquaintance was Sc
verely injured in the back by the kick Of
a horse; four Allcock's Porous Plasters
quickly relieved HIM of eXcruciating ago
ny and cured him in week. Another
patient, suffering with Neuralgia of the
Heart, was completely cured in four
hours.
In Asthma, know of a case where they
were worn for three months and fully re-
stored to health. In another case where
a patient had Sporadic Cholera, nothing
relieved him until he put on three ALI
cocks Porous Plasters; in twelve hours all
pains in his chest and stomach disappear
ed. / know that these Plasters, applied
on the pit of the stomach, are a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia and Constipation.
Finally, if persons once use AllcOcRs
Porous Plasters they will never use any
other; they are so pleasant, quick and
painless-nature's balmy assistant.
