Miss Jennie Jackson, of Littlc's World com
pany is spending Il vacation at her home in
this city.
Miss Minna Wright, the brilliant young
lady elocutonist of Mendoza, left this week
for an extended pleasure and professional trip
through the east. She has engagements in
Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland and other
large cities.
The Rose Easton Comedy and Dramatic
company has been playing this week at Turn
Hall, LaSallc, coming there from Mendoza,
where good weeks engagement was filled &.
Next week the company will Be at the Strea-
tor Opera house. The admission prices are
10 and p cents. Rose Easton will begin
weeks engagement at the Opera house here
on April Goth.
The theatre has been the objective point for
amusement seekers this week, the Kendall
Dramatic and Comedy company playing at
opera house TO large business. On Mon
day night the English farc,cal comedy en-
titled My Mothcr-in-Law' was presented to
an audience of about GOO; Tuesday night
"Funchou the Cli,hct' was ivcn 10 prob
ably larger audience; Wednesday night
Joshua W hitcomb" was presented, the pu-
dcncc numbering fully $40; Thursday night
the company gave "Dora,' founded on Ten
nysou's poem Of the same name. On that
night yeritablc crush was experienced, all
the seats being reserved. At the time of
raising the curtain stan ding room only could
be had. Last night MY Mother-in- Law"
was repeated and another full house was the
result On Thursday night about % ladies
swoopcd down on the parquettc, having
formed party to attend the theatre en- mdSse.
There was but one of our sex among them,
and, looking ut the one-sided scheme to rob
some poor mortal Of the pleasure Of being
their escort, this utter lack of gallantry can
only he attributed to the modesty the young
men possessed that their actions might suf-
fer mfscoustruction in asking the ladies to
attend a cheap entertainment. There is no
question that the company has been highly
successful here, and that the people generally
have availed themselves of the low admission
prices 10 attend almost every evening. This
certainly should disarm criticism and all
should be good natured enough to admit that
they got more than their moneys worth, as
they certainly did. The attendance this week
has demonstrated the fact that low prices of
admission will make the opera house highly
popular.

ON THE DEATH OF ELLEN MOORE.

Written by her sorrowing sister, Fannie Fare
Farewell, dear sister, for awhile.
Rest in thy bed of clay,
Until at last we meet again,
At the great Judgment day.
Thou art gone from this low land
OF sorrow, grief, and pain;
Thy spirits roaming with the blest,
On Eden's sunny plain.
Wen feel quite sad indeed to think,
We can never see thee no more,
But yet we know thou art not lost,
But only gone before.
Well only wait, God knows how long,
As who can tell how soon,
The dear one we have loved 90 we'll,
Is called to meet her doom.
And when upon that Judgment day,
The trumpet loud shall sound,
God grant we may for Jesus sake,
On his right hand stand.
She is gone to our homo, gone to our God,
She was laid in that cold narrow bed.
Bright are the dew-drops that light on
The grass that waves gently DER her head.
Yet she was laid in that cold narrow bed,
1t was her spirit We loved, is the loved
spirit there, the spirit of love called her
spirit above redeemed from sin and sorrow.

Charity shall Cover the Multitude u Sins.

1t is lamentably true that during
late years we have too frequently
heard from the lips of men, many Of
whom were the professed followers
of Him in whose mouth was never
any guile, language condemning in
the severest and most unqualified
manner whole classes of men, for
no higher or better reason than that
they differed with their self-c0nsti-
tuted judges upon certain questions,
it may be of politics or religion, or,
forsooth, because they CHANGED to
live on the opposite side of Mason
and Dixon's line from their relent-
less judges. Now this is not only
contrary to what every one knows
to be the teachings and require
ments of the Gospel Of Christ; but
when properly viewed, even from
the standpoint of good breeding
and good manners, is a blot and a
blur upon our boosted American
civilization. And, If this is true, l
am correct in saying further that
there are at least two classes Of
American citizens who do not in
dulge in such wholesale abuse or
vilifcation, viz: the Cody or chris
tian man and the well-bred, high.
toned gentleman. And, in proof of
this last conclusion, I point my po-
litical companions to some Of whom
are now doubtless ready to say that
I have sold myself to the opposing
party, and am trucking to its lead
ers and friends, because, forsooth, 1
number among my warmest and
most intimate friends many who
pay their political worship at the
altar of said opposing party, and
some of whom even hail from the
other side of Mason and DixOn's
line, to the following late reply Of
Mr.. Jefferson Davis to an inquiry,
asking his views on Gen. Grants
military career. The ex-Confeder-
ate President said:
General Grant is reported dying.
Although he invaded our cOuntr y
with ruthless track, it was with open
Land, and, so far as I know, he
abetted neither pillage nor arson.
When his armies were so successful
that General Lees army had not
even the power further to retreat
General Grant gave terms both lib
eral and courteous, and has since
the war, I believe, shown no ma.
Lightly nor perpetuated ISLANDERS
against the Confederates, either Of
the military or civil service. There
fore, instead of seeking to disturb
the quiet of his closing hours,
would, if it were in my power, viii
lingly contribute to the repOse o
his mind and the comfort of hi
body"
