ADJUSTMENTS.

nAUGH's.-Havcrly's Minstrels at
Albaughs will undoubtedly draw large
houses this week as they arc decidedly the
best minstrel troupe in existence. There is
a refinement about their performances that
make them attractive to the ladies. The
celebrated Craggs, the finest gymnasts trav-
elling, have Joined Haverley's. They alone
are worth the price Of admission. sTheir
drop, -four deep is tho most startling act
ever attempted on q stage.
FORDs.-A most numerous aud novel
entertainment is given by the six Leopold
Brothers at Ford's this week. one long
laugh from the rise to tho fall of the curtain
is promised. They appear as living statues,
athletic students, flying walters and mu-
sicians, and are supported by strong Euro
pean comedy company.
HERzoG's.--Eyery evening and after
noon this week Mr.. George w. Thompson,
who has been received with great favor in
the West appears at Herzog's in his own
creation of rip Van Winkle," In Cincin-
natl especially Mr.. Thompsons acting was
highly praised.
DIME MusErM.-Every afternoon and
night this week Mr.. Edwin Brown and Miss
Stella Willis, assisted by the Wilbur Ora
matte Company, will appear in the pictu-
rescue drama, Under the Gsslight." A
number Of years ago this was the most

the good news came, with the possible excep.
lion that his face is now often bedecked with

him has not elevated his head above the com

the lottery ticket as draft. As 10 my future

AMoNG the recent designations from
official positions, not one should cause
greater regret than that of Judge Johnson,
the retiring Commissioner Of Customs.
Having served longer term than any
officer in the Treasury Department he is a
familiar parsonage in Washington, whore
he is held in the highest esteem. Atypical
gentleman of the old school, he united to
strict performance of his official duties an
afabiity and courtesy that made inter
course with him at all times q pleasure. A
faithful official, sincere friend, and a true
man, Washington can i'll afford to lose such
one.

EDITOR MCCLURE of the Philadelphia
Times and Mayor Smith arc having tifI.
The editor having charged tho Mayor with
dereliction of duty, the latter demands
proof. The editor proves that his charge
is true, or that the worthy Mayor con-
iesses to pitiable ignorance, Upon which
horn will the Mayor pose? One thing is
certain, when Samuel g. King was Mayor
Of Philadelphia he never would have con-
sented to u prlze-fght between Sullivan
and McCatIrey. Every sporting man in
that city remembers how peremptorily he
forbade the Sullivan .Cleary fight.

fortune. will give you and Margaret
ST. 900 if'-the capitalist paused, and Brown
looked up amazed; he had never thought of
owning so much money at once, and the
idea dazzled him-"if you will go out West
to a place ] know of and build yourself a
house and get quarter. section of land"
There is plenty Of work for good me-
chanics there, at higher wages than you
can get here, and you will see hundred
ways in which you can save and make
Investments which will be sure to yield
you a good return.
Just think of it. Here, crowded, un-
healthful tenement. There, house of
your own under the blue sky. Here, no
chance to do better. There, almost GER
tainty with your habits and character, of
laying by comfortable fortune. Marga-
ret will bo the wife of one of the best
men in town, instead of perhaps taking
in washing to help along when you are
out of work here.
What do you say, Brown-will you do
itY"
Browns eyes had lighted up, and he had
straightened his shoulders instinctively as
the capitalist had briefly set forth the posi-
BILE contrasts in these two lines of life. But
when the question was put direct he hesi-
tated, shufIled with his feet uneasily and at
length managed to say
to talk 1t over with Margaret before giving
an answer. It's very good of you all the
same"
That's all right, Brown. Talk it over
as much as you like till tho wedding day
and then let me know your decision. The
1000 shall be ready for you the day you
start for the West"
The wedding day came and Margaret and
her beau waited on their would-be bene-
factor, and, with some shamefacedness,
made known their determination to stay in
the city.
The conversation, substantially as re-
ported, actually took place some six years
ago. Since then Mr.. and Mrs. Brown have
moved often from one tenement to an-
other. They have three children, aud Mrs.
b., the neat housemaid that was, is earn
ing the major part Of the household reve-
nues by taking in washing, for Brown,
when the cares of married life began to
weigh upon him, took to ward politics, aud
the children are In a fair way to bring up
in the workhouse, unless some most un-
foreseen interposition of Providence keeps
them out of it, The Hour.

There is one place that is even worse Oh
;ban New York for want of underground
telegraph conduits. In Brazil the air lines
have to contend both with the natural de.
cav. rand as that is in tropical country, ana
with the sudden fall of the temperature at
sundown, that causes wires and lnsulators
TO break By contraction. All nature Is lea
eued against them. The luxurious vegeia
lion of the tropics, despite all attempts 20
keep it down, causes no END OF trouo's.
Birds build their nests on top OF the pois:,'
and ants up their sides, while skunSs ana
armadiIos undermine them and cause thr'l
sudden fall The ants nests have to Z"
cboppei of with axes, when Old anG hal"
Wasps build nests in the bell.shaped porce'
lain irsulators, apes NEEDLE with the wireS,
and enormous swarms of birds, flying BY
night. often wreck or tang!s them. More
mischievous than any of these Is huge
sDider that weaves its web between the
wires and interIeres with the electric cur
rerts. Worst Of all, the tremendous troP
cal thunderstorms smash wires, poles, lnsi
lators, almost daily in their season, despite
al precautions.
