An assessment becomes q source of

KATIE PuTNAM.-The return of Miss

was the occasion of another crowded
audience at Yesler's Hall. The ever pop-
ular military comedy, The Child Of

able manner which has characterized
each evenings appearance Of this oon-
pany. Miss Putnam, in the role of Jo-
sephine, was of course the central de-
urs, and without apparent difficulty
transformed the audience from grave
to gay" at will. Mr.. Emory a. Scalade,
the bluff old sergeant, was evidently in
his element. He looked and acted
every inch soldier" and Mr.. Gil
more as Guillat, was correct and pless-
ing. The afterpiecs. 1.-THE Little
Rebel" is q sDriRhtly little comedy and
was happily presented. Miss vinton az
Kitty Vinks made . decided hit, and
Mr.. Devlin was evidently in his ele-
ment. This afternoon !" Lena, the
Msdcap," will Do presented at the
matinee. and in the evening Lit
tie Barefoot" The house will uu
dOubtedly be crowded. We take
the liberty 10 suggest that il some. even
with reserved seats, would endeavor 70
arrive q few minutes carrier much in
convenience in getting into position

The new City Council at Olympia has

thousand dollars per annum. The SEN
timent At the Capital City seems to be
in favor Of high license, and the new
Council seem disposed to give it trial.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican electors OF New Jersey, and all
other voters without regard to past political differ
ences, who in favor of eleyating and dgnifying
American labor, protecting and extending home
industries giving free popular education to the
masses of the people, securing free suffrage and an
honest counting Of ballots effectually protecting
all human rights in every section Of our common
country, and who desire to promote friendly feels
ing and permanent harmony throughout the land
by maintaining National government pledged 10
these objects and principles requested to send
delegates 10 a State Convention, TO be held at
TAYLOR HALL in The city of Trenton, on
THURSDAY, THE nth of APRIL, at - O'Clock
noon, for the purpose of electing four delegates at
large to the Republican National Convention
which viii assemble at Chicago, on June Cd next
TO the nomination of candidates for President and
Vice President to be supported at the next general
election. The basis Of representation under thii
call, will be one delegate for each two hundred Re
publican votes cast at the last Presidential cleo
tion, and one delegate for each fraction thereo
exceeding one hundred votes; provided that eve
township, ward and precinct, legally defined a
such las in Jersey City, shall be represented by a
least one delegate.
Under the rules prescribed by the National Re
publican Committee, the Republicans of each Cor
gressional district have the option Of electing thei
delegates to the National Convention either |
conventions held In the respective districts With
ffteen days next prior TO the meeting of the Sta
Convention, or subdivisions of such State Coz
vention, but the practice in this State having I'M
formly been TO select the district delegates at tn
same time as the delegates at large, it is recon
mended that this usage be adhered to, and that tn
delegates to the State Convention from the severa
Congressional districts, meeting as distinctly

Changes in fortune are illustrated by
the history Of Mr.. Alden b. Stockweli,
once leading money king. He was
son-in-law of Elias Howe, of sewing ma
chine fame, and at one time President of
the Panama Railroad, and made a large
sum In its stocks. His fortune was esti-
mated at ~, 000. 900, and his income over
5000, 600 year. Reverses, however
came and he is now bankrupt. The ups
and downs of his remarkable career are
summed up in characteristic remark
which he is reported to have made to n
friend not long ago: "When came from
Cleveland, was called Mr.. 'Stockwell,' :
when ! began to operate largely on the
street was called 'Captain; when | be-
came big man 10 the market the opera
tors called me Commodore and after |
had lost my fortune they spoke of me as
that red headed dog from Cleveland
