UNCLE TONS CABIN.

c. II. Smiths mammoth double Uncle
Toms Cabin Company, which is to appear at
the Granite Hall Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, recently played an engagement in
Boston Theatre and the Daily Evening Trav-
sller of that city said of it.:
Mr.. C. H. Smiths we'll advertised company
opened last evening. A fine and appreciati,e
audience was present when the curtain rose.
At first it was hard to perceive what advan-
tage was to be gained by two Topsys and
two Marks, the lawyers, but when the curtain
descended on the second act the bursts Of
laughter and applause fully explained this in
genious addition. Topsy No. was as per.
feet performance as that well-worn char
acter ever received at the hands of any artist
The two Marks were quaint in the extreme,
whilst in the more serious characters Eliza
and Legree were excellent. The plantation
scene was the gem of the performance, whilst
specialities evoked encore after encore. The
trained dogs lent additional help to one Of
the strongest "Uncle Toms Cabin Compa-
MES" We have seen for years.
A large company of the friends of Mr.. and
and Mrs. Geo H. Cross had the satisfaction
of joining with them in celebrating the fif
teenth anniversary of their wedding at their
residence on North street, Christmas night,
and many nice and useful presents received.

Christmas Day passed very smoothly in this
city. In the forenoon the trade in Christmas
goods continued quite brisk In the after
noon places Of business were generally closed
and clerks and proprietors took half holiday.
Manufactures were shut down, as rule, and
the employees given day of rest. The boys,
as usual, ate their Christmas dinner at home,
and there was nearly as many family reun-
ions as on Thanksgiving. The main draw
back OF the day was the absence of sleighing,
and there was very little driving upon the
streets

The Uses of Fans.

Miss Lookabout. in New York let
ter, tells of new use to which fans
are put: Did you suppose that clothes
were always for warmth and fans for
coolnessp Well, then, you are mis-
taken. Your theory is sound in the
main, but the ball belle now reverses
it. She goes to the gay gatherings OF
dancers in the decollete fashion sane
toned by polite usage. 1t is as clear
as can be that her garb has no refer
ence to warmth. Every draught of
air threatens her with pneumonia, and
change from the temperature of
room to that of cooler one menaces
neuralgia or rheumatism. In this
quandary she has bethought herself of
making her fan a paradox. She en-
ploys that article of adornment, flirta-
ton and refrigeration for still another
purpose. She gets big one, con-
structed of feathers on the outside, or
else a lace affair, which looks as airy
as her own corsage; but the inner sur
face is covered with swans down or
FUR, under which is thick wadding.
Armed with that sort of fan, like
the shield of Joan of Arc, she de-
tends her breast against the darts OF
death. If door is opened to let in
cold air on her while she is engaged
in quadrillc, she spreads the fan
closely, and thereby is instantly AZ
much dressed rs though in q high
necked gown. If in the circles of the
waltz she has to pass an open window,
the fan is clapped into place. They
are great comfort during the ball
and opera season, assure you.

THE SPIRIT OF POETRY.

She steers the stars through Heavens azure
deep
She lifts the leaden eyelids of the morn;
On distant hills she winds the hunters horn,
And wakes the lonely shepherd from his sleep
She scales the dizzy ledge where torrents leap,
And hangs the bloom upon the bristling
thorn;
She sits for hours In solitude forlorn,
With downcast eyes, where hapless lovers
weep.
When Spring comes up the vale in Winters
trace
She plucks the blossom from the buds en-
brace;
She binds the golden glrdle round the bee,
And lends the lily's luster 10 the pea
She curves the swallows wing, aud guides its
flight,
And tips the dewy meads with twinkllng light.
She rides, she revels on the rushing storm,
She suns her pinions on the rainbow's RIM
She laves In mountain pools her snowy limb,
As sweetly chaste as Dian, and as warm;
In summer fields she bares her blushing arm,
And sings among the reapers. BY the dim
Light OF autumna moons, her trcsses swim
On gales Lethean, with assuasive charm.
Into the chamber Of the alchemist
She peers,-or, through some half-closed
lattice, sees
Her lover by the wanton night-wing kissed
Anon, she walks the dim Hesperldes,
Or, mingling with the spirits of the mist,
Dances at will along the darkling seas.

The Queer Nasal.

A more remarkable Or unique race,
says Joseph Thomson in Through
Nasal Land" does not exist on the
continent of Africa-lndeed, / might
safely say in the two hemispheres. In
their physique, manners, and customs,
and religious beliefs they are distinct
alike from the true negroes and from
the Gala and Somali. They are the
most magniiicently modelled savages
have seen or even read of. Beauti-
fully proportioned, they are charac-
terized by the smooth and round out
line of the Apollo type, rarely showing
the knotted muscles of the true ath-
lete. The women are very decently-
dressed In bulluck's hide. They wear,
by way of ornament, from twenty to
thirty pounds of thick iron wire coiled
round the limbs, arms, and neck, be-
sides great assortment of beads and
iron chains. The men wear only
small kid skin garment round the
shoulders and breast, that being OF
somewhat more ample dimensions
among the married men. The. most
remarkable distinction characterizing
the various epocs in the life history of
the Nasal. The boys and girls up to
certain age, live with their parents
and feed upon curdled milk. meat and
grain. At the age of II with the girls,
and from II to IA years with the boys,
they are sent from the married mems
kraal 10 one in which are only young
unmarried men and women. There
they live till they are married. At
this stage the men are warriors, and
their sole occupations is cattle-lifting
abroad and amusing themselves at
home. The young women attend to
the cattle, build the huts, and perform
other necessary household duties.
Both sexes are on the strictest diet.
Absolutely nothing but meat and milk
pass their lips. Spirits, and beer, to-
bacco or vegetable food are alike es-
chewed. So peculiar, indeed. are they
in their notions that they will not even
eat the meat of any wild animal.
Moreover, the meat and milk are never
taken together. For several days the
one Is the sole diet, to be followed by
the other after partaking of power
full purgative. On killing a bullock
they drink the blood raw, which doubt
less supplies them with the necessary
salts. In eating meat they always re-
tire to the forest in small parties, ac-
companied by young woman. So
pleasant does the Nasal warrior find
this life that he seldom marries until
Ne has passed the prime of life, and
begins 10 find his strength decline.
The great war spear and heavy buffa-
lo-hide shield, the knobkerry, are
then laid aside. For a month he
dons the dress of an unmarried woman,
and then becomes staid and respect
able member of Nasal society. He
goes no more to war, but devotes him
self to the rearing of brood of young
warriors. His diet changes with his
mode of life, and he may indulge in
vegetable food, drink beer or spirits,
and smoke or chew tobacco. At death
the body is simply thrown out to the
hycnas and vultures.

A Delicate Question.

One afternoon as the Hon. w. @.
Raines, lawyer well known in West
ern New York, was travelling over the
Central he was approached by the con-
ductor, who was one of his innumer-
able friends, and who announced that
he wanted his advice on rather del

loved wife. should yet be proud of a
husband S devoted love. How would
he not atone for his late infatuation-
the sin of the last few weeks. He felt
as though he could crawl in the dust
to that injured wife's feet and crave
her forgiveness. What had he been
thinking OFF He must have been in
sane.
There was sudden noise and out
cry at the mansion, the flashing of
lights and the hurrying of feet. Won
dering what the matter could be,
Carleton Leigh arose and walked
slowly up the path. On the piazza he
came face to face with Janet, the
chambermaid.
'Oh, Master Leigh, poor mistress
is dead entirely. She is lying on the
carpet white as corpse, and there is
not breath in her body"
Carl did not stop to ask any ques-
tons. The blanched face and wild
eyes of the GIRL told that she spoke
what she thought the truth; and with
a strange look on his marble face he
sped up stairs to his wife's room.
"Lillias! Lilliasr' he cried, bending
over the stricken figure that lay so
white and helpless on the floor "Oh,
Lillias, speak to me-"
But the wife answered not, and
though he chafed the chilled hands
and addressed her by hundred en-
dearing names there was no motion,
no response, till the old family doctor
arrived and tried the potency of his
restoratives.
"She had a shock. Something has
been wearing on her brain and nerves"
said the grave, gray-haired physician.
"She is very i'll, but by the grace of
God she may recover"
''Save her life, and my fortune is
yours. Only save her."
81 cannot promise. 1t rests with
God, but shall do my best"
After the doctor had gone Ellicc and
Maud came 10 the door of the dim
chamber and knocked. Carl looked
out.
II shall not 90 tomorrow, Mr.
Leigh" said Miss Armitage 81 will
stay with Ellce and nurse poor Lillias
back to health"
He made fierce, passionate ges-
ture, which, with the black sternness
of his face, made his visitors recoil.
"Traitress and VIPER" he Kissed,
''you are the cause of this. This house
no longer needs you. Depart with the
morning, and never let me see thy
treacherous face again."
He closed the door in their faces.
Neither had words with which to an
swer him. With the morning they lett
the mansion.
Lillias Leigh lived, lived and that
was all, for she never went out from
the house again. She was a helpless
invalid all'hcr life. But no woman
ever had more devoted attendant q
more careful watcher than she had in
her husband. He gave her all his
time. and never murmered nor re-
pinned at her weak complaints and petty
exactions.
He is white-haired old man now,
and his wife is still alive. She has no
other nurse and needs none. Carleton
Leigh has atoned with the service of a
life time for the folly of an hour

Foreign Owners of New York Property.

According to the correspondence of
the Troy Tunes, the offerings of real
estate in New York City this season
are less than in former years. This
arises from the general depreciation
of stocks and railway bonds. Real
estate is held with increased tenacity.
The uncertainty prevailing in Europe
leads 20 extensive purchases by foreign
capitalists, including some of royal
blood. Among these is an extensive
landed estate owned by Eugenie, and
including some gilt-edged property
whose rental is between $4,000 and
S75, 900 year. The King of Sweden
owns an estate valued at $500, 900; the
Grand Duke Alexis is also an extensive
property-holder, and large purchases
have been made for Queen Victoria.
The titles arc taken in other names,
but the true ownership is well under
stood.
