Carrie swain Next week at Ford's.

Carrie Swain has made another upward
stop in her presentation of "Chirp, the Lit
tie Joker" The play was written to fit
her specialties, and becomes interesting for
that reason, if for none other AS seen last
evening on the stage Carrie Swain appeared
q handsome, graceful actress, not SO fleshy
as formerly, but more active. She shows to
best advantage in the second act, when her
impersonation of a newsboy begins, and her
sketches are rendered. She has pleasing,
melodious voice, and dances gracefully. She
at the same time intersperses personally
in these specialties, which remind the spec
tator of Maggie Mitchell, although it must
be said that "she is herself Alone" The
gymnastic performance with which she
winds up the dancing is unexpected, aud
something generally beyond the power Of a
woman. Her support is good, the cast con-
tanning a number of clever artists.--St
Louis Chronicle.

"Tartarean Darkness " is the subject of
a series of papers on the abominable condi-
tion of the laws of the District of Column
bia, by Edmund Alton, who will present
them in The Current, beginning with the
issue Of January 81. He reveals most
woful state of affairs, and it will be sur
prise to many readers to learn that English
statutes of the Thirteenth Century, Mary
land laws, Congressional enactments and
local ordinances struggle for precedence in
the courts of the District, to the dire con-
fusion and peril of the citizens. 1t is alto
gether a lamentable instance Of legislative

Laying the Last Brick.
A Pretty Ceremony Happily Ex-
pressed.

From the New Lexington Tribune.
just as we we're gong to press
with the last number of the Tribune,
the last brick WAS laid upon the
new school house, which fact was
briefly noted.
The laying of the brick was at
tended with considerable ceremony.
The brick layers sent word to Su-
perintendent Fowler that he might
have the honor of laying the last
brick. if he so desired. Mr.. Fow-
CT sant to the building. had the
brick brought to the High School
room in the Masonic block, where
each student, one after another,
handled the brick, and passed it all
around the class. The students We're
then given few minutes to write a
brief sentiment concerning the new
school house and the placing on the
walls of the final brick. We have
seer these brief compositions by the
students, and they are all Of cred
liable character.
After these proceedings at tho
High School room the Principal
and scholars went around to the
building, where Mr.. Fowler piled
the trowl and mortar for few mo-
ments, put the las. brick in its
place, and the work was done, and
the ceremony over.
There was many hard davs
WORK between che laying Of the hrst
and the last brick. and for weeks 1t
almost seemed as though ,he work
would never be completed; but
steadily and patiently, brick by
brick, stone by stone, the walls
arose toward the blue sky above.
until at last the heroes of the hod
and trowel were with the building

prepared or otherwise for their high
calling, will be set to work upon
minds immaterial and immortal.
