Why She ApplaUded.

Seated to tho right Of me at place
of amusement was Il lady whose inter-
est was not aroused till thin, Giscon-
solate-looking girl mado her appear
ance. Then She began to applaud
furiousiy AS could observe no pos
sible occasion for such manifestations,
l felt surprised; but, as she kept up
the manifestation all the evening, and
seemed to have no assistance from
any OF the audience, l took q hand,
as they say, and also began applaud
ing the thin, misunderstanding girl.
My good-nature, however. bore, as
good-nature often docs, bitter fruit.
The lady turned and said:
"What are you applauding ior?''
stammered an Insufficient answer.
"You don't think She does Well, do
your" she continued.
''No, madam"
.'Shc's awkward, and she can't
sing" said she, couiemptuously.
l had time to recover myself.
'.Might ask" l said, with con-
scious dignity, ''why, madam. if such
is the case, you are so enthusiastica'
''She owes me $685." said my
neighbor, with scorn and asperity;
''and, if this here show don't succeed,
I'll be that much out.''
Selfshness is indeed the occasion of
much strange conduct in life, and Of
ten explains what seems inexplicable.

Price appeared as Chip Fogg," in
the play of Foggs Ferry, and ac-
Quilted herself in such q manner as
to gain many warm friends. Her
singing and dancing is simply be

she at once demonstrated her supe
riolity. Miss Price, we are glad to
say, does not add another to the
long list of imitators Of Lolita. She
is strikingly original, and deserves
credit for her success, which is fair

throughout was good. We hope

The Extent of Hrsnan Travel

The movement of persons has under
gone quite as important a growth as
that of goods. In the ''Ecr:cw of the
Worlds Economy" already named,
the number Of passengers carried by
all the railroads in all parts of the
world, in 1882, is estimated at 2.400.-
coo, 600. or an average OF oix and half
million a day. The absolute number
OF passengers carried on steamers is
smaller; but here, as was also the case
with goods, they are carried for longer
distances, and more days journeys,
than on railroads; SO that, estimated
by the mile or the day. the amount
both of freight and passenger work the
steamers do will appear to much better
advantage.
The significance of the facilitation of
passenger transportion is derived prin-
cipally from its effects on social condi-
tions, civilization, and customs. One
of the most important of these effects
is illustrated in emigration, which has
Assumed grand dimensions under the
operation of the new methods of COM
munication. OF the twelve and half
million emigrants who went to the
United States between the recognition
of their independence and 1883, not
more than million belong to the time
previous to the establishment of reg
ular passenger communication by
steamer with Europe, about 1874. As
. result of the establishment of this
method of communication, and of the
building of railroads that opened the
Mississippi Valley and the western
part of the continent, emigration as
sumed colossal proportions. Besides
the amelioration of the voyage, which
has become an affair of not more
than ten or twelve DAYS for emigrant-
vessels, the improved fare, the cheaper
rate of passage, and the punctuality
and increased safety of the transit,
may be marked as circumstances con-
tributing to this resuit.-Herr G. Her.

The New Midland Line.

The advantages of the New Mid
land Route can be better UNDER
stood when the time of its through
solid fast trains is compared with
time made by other roads. Solid
trains are run from Pittsburg to
Cincinnati, passing through Wheel
ing, GAINESVILLE and Columbus, The
time from Columbus to Cincinnati
is 4 hours; St. Louis IA hours !;
Kansas City 26 hours, which is 10
minutes the squickest time to Gin
cinnati, 2 hours to St. Louis, 2 hrs
to Kansas City. Close connections
are made in Union Depots at C,n-
cinnati, St. Louis and Kansas City.
Persons going via this route make
quicker time, having fewer changes
and better accommodations. Tick
cts to all points west and south can
be purchased from Agent of the G.
& G. nj. r. r. at the same price

eE1nue De Jeinviile at Sarasc's Sta.

From General W. Is. Franklin's 40.
count of '.Rcar-Guara Fightiusat Say
ages Station In the July CGaury,
we quote the following: "a short time
after 1 separated from General Nc
Clellan Gas mentioned above) at the
junction of the Charles City and Quak-
er roads, l bade farewell to the Prince
de Joinville, who told me that he and
his nephews were about to leave Us and
return to Europe. He had always been
very friendly, and now expressed many
good wishes for my future. Holding
my hand in his. he said. with great
earnestness, General, advise General
Mcclellan to concentrate bis army at
this point, and fight battle to-day; if
he does, he will be in Richmond to-
morrow was much impressed by
his manner and by what he said, and
from the purely military point of view
tho advice may have been good. But
1t was impracticable for me to adopt
the suggestion. General Mcclellan
was then well on his way to the James
River, and had no right to leave my
command. 1t was impossible to con-
centrate the army there that day early
enough to give battle, and had it been
possible to risk a general engagement
there, it would have been contrary to
General McClellan's views as to his re-
sponsibility connected with the safety
Of the army, views which were actual
ing him in the very movement then
taking place. 1t is likely from what
We know now, that had it been possible
TO follow the Princes advice, his mill
tary forecast might have proved cor
rect But no one at that hour could
have predicted the paralysis of Jack
sons large force in our rear for the
whole of that day, nor General Lees

Had general engagement ia ken place,
snd had we been defeated, the army
would have reached the James River,
It is true. but instead of getting there
es it did, with its morale unharmed,
and with slight damage to its men and
material. it would have been q disor-
ganized mob, and as an army would
have perished miserably. General Nc
Clellan believed that the destruction of
the Army of the Potomac at that time
would have been ruin to our cause,
and his actions, for which he alone is
responsible, were guided by that belief
and by the conviction that at any sac
rifice. the preservation of that army,
AZ that time. was paramount to every
ether consideration.

New Orleans Minstre;s,
Opera House, Friday, Oc-
tOber 18th.

Gorton's Original New Or
leans Minstrels-Minstre!sy recelv-
ed one more "boom" last night al
the Opera House, where Gorton's
Original New Orleans Minstrels
presented one of the most original
and novel entertainments of its dis
tinctive quality seen here for years
Every song, sketch and act given
was of original and novel character.
The comic songs and jokes of
Messrs. WeIby aud Stiles were
new. a fact deserving special men
;ion. The ballad singing was excel
lent, displayed good voices and
careful training, and the choruses
we're admirably rendered. The
move! feature of the third part was
an entire change of end men-Wel-
by and Stiles being succeeded by
John and George Gorman-who in
troduced a surprise by rendering a
duet, finishing with an excellent
jig. The first part of the entertain
ment finished by an uproriously
funny climax, The New Years
Wedding" Walter Wentworth
opened the olio with which is
without doubt the most wonder
full contcr.ioa act ever seen in this
city. Next in order comes the
champion military clog, participat
ipated in by eight members of the
company, who paraded with rifles,
whicl. was remarkable for its accu-
racy and variety of manoeuvers.-
Then making a complete change of
costume, the corps clad in antique
armor presented the finest series of
tableaux ever brought to this city.
A companion to the above was
song and dance sketch, THE Festi
val" introducing a number OF 9TH
er company in conglomeration of
song, dance. acrobatic feats and di-
alogue, to the general satisfaction
and applause ofthe audience. Spec
cial notice should be credited to
Mr.. Geo. W. Frankum for his clas-
sic solos upon the enphonium and
John Stiles in his non
sensical absurdities, was ridiculous
ly funny. The pantomime which
closed the performance. is hyster-
ical hum orous sketch. The Cor
mans display genuine low comedy
talent, and were irresis:ably funny.
This, with various other features,
make up "a minstrel show of undoubt
ed merit, and one which keeps the
ball rolling from the beginning to
end Ithica (N. Y. )Jou rnal.
