Denham Thompson,

Who opens this week in his cele
brated creation of Joshua Whit
comb" in the play of that name, viii
be cordially welcomed. As an ole
lady remarked, when she saw Mr.
Thompson as Joshua" last season
in Philadelphia: That man is no
acting-he portrays a living charac
ter" She was right. The grea
merit of Mr.. Thompson's performance
is that he conceals Art so admirably
that Nature only is seen. For this
reason, we consider him, as whole
the truest comedian in America.
Owens has had his day; Jefferson can
act nothing that is no. tinged with
"Trip Van Winkle;" Mr.. Davis is only
an imitator, a term we may apply TO
the majority of our actors. But Mr..
ThOmpson's strongest point is his
originality. He created a character
which he has made famous; it is
known everywhere, and why? Be-
cause il is a creation drawn from life
Had ii been ad exaggeration, 1t would
have fallen fiat long since. But Mr..
Thompson does not exaggerate; every
movement is unaffected; he does not
try stage tricks to "bring down" the
gallery; everything is done without
an effort. the dry humor, the quaint
dialect, all combine to create charac-
ter that has achieved a lasting
popularity.
What pleases us most with the play
is that il is as pure as a sermon. In
deed, one of the ministers out west
advised his congregation to 90 and see
Joshua Whitcumb." "If all the
plays put upon the stage were as good
as this one" he remarked, 81 should
recommend you to become regular
patrons of the theatre, for no sensible
person can object TO harmless amuse-
meut." In one of the towns a priest
aud couple of nuns came to see the
play, and expressed themselves
greatly pleased. This is compli-
ment that is not often paid to our actors.
In Joshua Whitcomb," all the
characters except two are drawn
from life-there is no attempt to ex-
aggerate them for the purpose of
arousing "thunders of applause &C.
companied by red fire and peanuts"
There is no straining after effect.
The perplexities Of the venerable
farmer of his first visit to the city are
inimitable, and the pathetic element
is tenderly and truthfully introduced
in the misery of Little Tot, the little
street sweeper, and the death-bed Of
the drunkard's wife.
Mr.. Thompson is not only a fine
comedian, but liberal man, for he is
sensible enough to have first class
company, so that Joshua Whit.
comb" is admirably acted. The actor
and the piece deserve land no doubt
will have) crowded houses every
evening.-Philadelphia Sunday Item,

The Temperance cause is gaining
ground in nearly every part of our state.
The more il is agitated the more popular
il becomes Many secular papers favor
Il outright. while others open their col
nnii1s to the friends of this great move
mcnt Onr ministers, almost to man,
are sound to the core and alive to the i'm
pnrtance of this growing question. The
churches are wheeling, almost unani-
mOusly, into line aud sustaining the pas
tors in the fight with the crime of crimes
and woe of woes. We thank God and take
courage. Where Prohibition is establish
ed vast improvement IN morals ana
business is manifest, even to the casual
observer The overthrow OF the rum
traffic in Mississippi is only question OF
time, energy and endurance. IT we are
true to our high trust aud the respo"sl-

amen.
We note with pleasure the work being
done by the noble women God bless
them) OF our State under the auspices of
the Women's Christian Temperance I'm
ion. The opposition to Temperance is
organized, equipped and determined.
Shrcwd in council and unscrupulous in
measures, this enemy of all good must be
watched, thrOttlcd, eXtcrminated. 1t is
q struggle for existence and the survival
of the tittest As the friends of Temper
ance we have come to stay, and we hereby
and hereOn record our matured purpose
never to cease our efforts until every
piratical flag of King Alcohol is torn from
the staff and every saloonist with bag

New ORLEANS EXPOSITION OF
THE THREE AMERICAS.
Illinois Central Reduced Rates.

The management Of the North, Contra
aud South american Exposition, which
opens at New Orleans, November 10th,
promulgatc the following.
"Tbe leading Object Of this Exposition
is to develop more intimate trade re-
lations between the $1,000, 900 producers
of the United States, and the $4,000, 900
producers and consumers Of Mexico, South
and Central America and the West
Indies.
To every thoughtful business man this
is practical, valuable aud worthy OBJ
ject. But what the great mass of people
who are already saving and planning to
attend this Exposition want to know is,
How about tie grounds, buildings, facil-
tiles for getting from the city to the Ex-
position, hotel and boarding house accom-
modations, railroad rates, exhibits and
attractions. The leading object of this
notice is to advise the public that the Ex-
position grounds are in the. best possible
condition. The buildings have been re-
rooted and generally renodeled. A steam
railroad from the city direct to the
grounds is under contract to be completed
October 9th. An asphaltum driveway
is being completed, running to the en-
trance of the main building. Increased
hotel and boarding house accOmmOda-
tons have been added. Mexico and Bra
zil have applied for large spaces in which
to exhibit governmental displays. The six
Central American countries and the nine
Republics and three Colonies of South
America will equal Mexico and Brazil in
proportion to their population and area.
The West India Islands and the Donin-
ion of Canada, together with all the City,
State anil Territorial exhibits will make
one mammoth display of the arts, pro-
duets, manufacture and general re-
sources of the above mentioned countries
that no American should fail to see.
A new, and TO many very interesting,
feature of this Exposition will be race
course within the grounds, where hun
dreds of the best horses in the land will
show their speed. The new management,
composed of practical business men, will
spare no expense necessary to the success
of this enterprises.
Commencing November 1st, the Illinois
Central Railroad will place on sale Round
Trip Tickets to New Orleans, good to re-
turn within forty days, at very low
rate and as this line is without question
the shortest, quickest, smoothest and safest
route to New Orleans, parties visiting the
Exposition should see their tickets read
via this line.
For Maps, Circulars and other printed
matter concerning the Exposition, and
for inform alton concerning hotels, board
ing houses and furnished rooms at New
Orleans, apply to the undersigned, at
