The eminen' trssedisn, frederick warde
supported by a company Of twenty -four al
fists, will appear At Blacks opera house next
Wednesday evening, oct. 20. For the FIRST
time in the history o. Spins fl Id, Shaket-
peares grand tragedy, Julius Ca, sAr,"

great Play and star, the Cincinnati CONNER

The cast Of Julius Caesar as prese ted at
the Second Dramatic Festival, is given TOR
record, and deserves this for irs even excel
lence. Were it desirable TO compare it with
that OF last year, there would be difficulty in
doing so fairly, tor several reasons. One is
that at least one OF the actors OF last season
was not at his best; another, that the acous-
tics OF the hall, through . judiclous eI ension
of the stage, were last night vastly better
than b. fore to the advantage OF both speaker
and listener. Our effort, which was before
pardonable il not commendsble, would last
night have been ine1cusable, and it is pleas
ant to he able to say that there
was but little OF it. The

deep interest of the tragedy fingers, was

an intelligent study of the character both

Oldest inhabitsnt have there been
% many weddings In Spring
field. Everybody and everyone else ere
getting married. The most common cause
assigned tor this state OF affairs 10 that the
times are improving and the timid swains
are thus tempted to launch out into the
troubled sea OF matrimony.
The second sign OF good times is the in
proved state of theatrical business in this
city. Good houses have been the rule this
year, and those attractions which appeal
strongly to the taste OF play-Soers have been
greeted with enormous houses. Last year
Springfield was graveyard, dramatically
speaking.
The third and most ouvincing sign 10 the
fact that one OF our most talented newspaper
men has lst had his boots half-'oled. This
last inc dent Is worth hundred Brads reefs

wishing to preserve some memento OF the
great artist, he was highly del GIFTED when
LisEt consented to exchange watches with
him.

Gently tailed to play drummer in Petit
coats' in this city, is rehearsing a new
piece aud will soon be on the
road again. The star, Flora Moore
has al int. IN nj
on account of her relationship TO De-. Moore,

Springh Id republicans are like some vol
canoes; they only break out when there is
business to b done. Projects always fall
through to found permanent republican po-

inestimsble value TO effective republican Or

New YOrk's Pigmies.

The average business man in New
York takes twenty drinks of whisky
a day and smokes fifteen cigars.
Nobody can stand this. The young
New Workers don't stand it. They
60 down in regiments and squares.
But like the Old Guard, they die,
but never surrender. If man
pulls through it all he is old at the
age of forty, and retires to take a
permanent rest. One result Of this
unnatural life is the production of a
race of pigmies. New York is ia
NOUS for its young men Of small
stature and light weight. This
comes from excuses of all kinds.
It is not so with the young women.
The girls who do not smoke, drink
and dissipate, are large and well
built, bright-eyed and rosy-cheeked.
They will have to take husbands
from the country. The spider;
legged dudes around them are not
fit for their mates. If we escape a

generation will be a gauzy one,

A saloon-keeper of Eureka, who
had suffered from the prevailing
dull times, posted q large card on
his outer door bearing the inscrip-
ton, POSITIVELY no admittance to-
day." Every one who saw the no.
tee was puzzled, and, human-like,
attempted to enter, which, as the
door was locked, was readily ac-
complished. The genial barkeeper
was found at his post, and, with q
nonchalant air, would inquire
"Well, gentlemen, what will you
have?" Every man thus ensnared,
with a sufficient amount of coin in
his pocket to pay for a drink, would
imbibe, and then depart without
even mentioning the notice on the
door.-Eureka Press.

mess incidentally while there, and
was arrested for selling goods by
sample without a license, exposing
himself thus to q fine Of fifty dol

he was brought before a magistrate,
where he pleaded his case so effec-
lively that he not only escaped with
a warning, but in a quiet chat with
the Judge, a few minutes later, ne
succeeded in selling him and his
clerk specimens Of the very products
of Yankee ingenuity which had just
been the occasion Of his arrest.

FLORIDA PINES AND spoNGEs.

On the occasion of our traversing Planta-
ton Key in 1864, we encountered on land
ing q small black boy who carried a rusty
sabre sat shoulder" BY his permission,
our party consisting of five able-bodied men
armed with shot guns, landed. The guard
becoming satisfied that our I" intents were
charitable we were graciously shown
tract of several acres of recently cleared
ground on which were growing rows OF
pineapple tops. Here was the first expert
ment in the culture of pineapples in Florida.
The success of this venture was SO decided
that since then, we are told, many Of the
keys are quite devoted to this enterprise.
The pines grown here prove to be of super
Tor flavor. The sponge business is yet one
of the chief sources of income to the popu-
lation OF Key West. The several forms OF
commercial sponges grow in the shallow
lagoons and creeks along the inner waters
of the reef. In most instances the sponge
is secured by hooks, appearing, when taken,
as the most repulsive black masses, heavy
with water and the jelly-lilSe flesh which
constitutes its living organism. These are
thrown ashore and left to be washed by the
waves, or are frequently rinsed by dashing
water over them. In few days, during
the warm weather of the latitude, the soft
parts decompose and the lighter, more at
tractiye skeletons remain. which constitute
the sponges of commerce.

MEXICAN WATER CARRIERS.

Guaymas is built of brick and adobe, the
bricks being very large and thin, something
like the Roman brick in shape. They are
very soft, and, although there is no frost to
affect them, there is something in the wealth
er which causes them to crumble away al.
most like SO much adobe The city has nc
wells, and, as yet, no waterworks, with tht
exception Of the pipes of the railway com
pany, from which the houses of its officers
besides its shops and tanks, are supplied.
The water carriers are a curious local spec
.acle. The public wells are at the upper
and of the town, and nude Yaqui Indians
may be seen there all the day pulling up the
water in buckets, standing on staging be-
meath which donkeys are coming and going
with enormous sacks of raw hide, riveted
and watertight, hanging down almost to the
ground on either side. When the donkeys
arrive the bags are fabby and light. The
naked Yaqui above pours the water in
glistening stream, and the skins swell up
until they hang heavy and distended, like a
full pounch. The donkeys then depart down
the street into the town on slow, deliber-
ate walk, the large waterbags swinging slow
ly as they go. Scantily clad boys, happy
looking and brown as berries, sit astride the
headquarters and kick their bare heels in
cessantly against the donkey's TANKS. There
is bullock's horn in the bottom of each
bcg, and when the horn is pushed up it lets
the water out into bucket, also of raw
b;da Wafor lie cold for ONO wool (J0l oaptoN

Altogether these water carriers are about az
oriental in aspect as anything on this CONT
nent, and the lover of the picturesque nigh,

which, with many other new things, are to
be introduced under the awakening of the
land by railway. Letter from Meric0.
