wsite's Comedy company made their first
appearance ct the opera house last evening,
when they opened a weeks engagement
Although the troupe was not very well known
here they had large audience. The gallery
was crowded and but few empty seats re.
manned down stairs. Although the prices of
the show are lower than usual they are not of
the cheapest kind. Twenty cents Is
charged for the gallery and thirty aud
thirty five down stairs. The piece
presented last night was comedy entitled
i'Shadows OF Life" The play Is very
good one and calculated to please any audi.
dience. J. W. Garner Is fine comedian,
and in the character of Reuben Louder, the
big hearted countryman, he was given an ex-
cellent chance to display his tall
ents. The part Is something like
Den Thompson's Joshua Whiteomb or
and the audience were kept In good
humor Mr.. Garner Is very natural on the
tage aud he was given capable support by
the company. Miss Nelson was excellent as
Gertrude, the orphan, and the audience were
well impressed with her. j. r. Waite
acted well the part Of Count Julian, the vii
lain Of the piece, aud indeed the whole COM
pany was strong. Miss Katharine Shepard
was very funny as DOrdthy Ann, the old
maid in search of husband, and in the
scene where she attempted TO make love To
old Reuben she did we'll. The audience last
night was delighted and the company Will
no doubt have big audience to see i" lingo
mar " this evening.
The orchestra Is a strong feature OF this
company. Their music is OF the finest Kind
and they received liberal applause last night
"Tom Collins" the young Reading dude,
| created quite sensation by appearing In the
opera house about the middle of the play.
He was attired in full suit of red, with a
SIX ull cap of the same color. As he marched
down the aisle he was greeted with applause.
He was the last man to leave the building
after the show. A mob of boys waited for
him outside and il was with great difficulty
that he made his way through them and
reached the Stevens house.

The stock market opened irregular. The

announcement that a combination OF the An
thracite companies had been formed for the pur.
pose of restricting production, and that the

FOR those stocks were touched about 1880. The

Hardly had the improvement been recorded

The Mexican Question.

WAsHIsGToS. August 13.-It is
asserted at the Stale Department that
there are no fresh developments in the
Cutting case, and that the attitude Of
the government has not changed in
any respect. This case is the fruit Of
the natural friction or antagonism be-
tween the systems of government of the
two peoples who differ radically in
character and customs. The position
We have taken is based upon the assump-
ton that all the material facts and
legal features OF the case are as they
have been set forth in the correspond
ence. anc reports already made public.
but in the matter involving possible
warfare. il is held to be incumbent
upon the United States 10 make snre
that there is nothing of importance
beyond the official information already
on hand, and to this end the efforts OF
the department are turned. The fOun.
datiOn once firmly laid, the decision
will have TO be made whenever the
difference shall be found TO exist that
shall be reconciled through the further
effort of diplomacy, or By war; but, in
no event. will this government assent
10 the doctrine that the American citi-
zen can be arrested, tried, and pun
ished abroad for an oftense committed
within our own domain.

Appetite of a Condemned Prisoner.

Any one would naturally suppose that
appetite for food would fail the condemned
prisoner on the morning of his execution,
but it would appear that the rule is fire.
quently the reverse of this. He eats a
good supper the night before; follows it
with a substantial lunch at bedtime, and
sleeps sound all night long. AS the fatal
moment draws nigh, he devours with
gustO a breakfast that would prepare a In.
borer for a hard days work. [ can noe,
like Victor Hugo, mentally change places
with the Condemned in his last hour, but
| suspect that something of the condition
of mind characteristic of the victim OF
cancer in its last stages must be his as the
supreme moment approaches. All hope Ia
lost, apathy succeeds the alterations Of
conflicting emotions he felt while his case
was fought over in The courts; the sull4n-
ness of despair benumbs the higher intel
lectual faculties, until at last the merely
animal instincts prevail. He eats his last
breakfast with the same eagerness as he
clutches at the rope which ~suspends
him.-Dr. William B. Hazard.

The Circulation of the Thunderer.

The circulation of The London Times
are now confined to clubs, hotels, restaur.

a very limited class of business men, and
families Of exceptional affiuence; but
thousands coming under the latter head
not take it. 1t is no doubt
"a ways glanced over-for few persons
Slctually read through its yards of print
by the majority Of peers and members
of the house of commons.
The eject of the new enfranchisement
will be to diminish its influence still
further, as the new voters know nothing
of it. While, however, it's circulation de-
clines, gT at best stagnates, it probably is
as IN advertisement medium more valu.
able than ever, The London morning
paper having the widest circulation

Weekly commercial herald. (Vicksburg, Miss.) 1884-18??, 1886-02-05

When ink was first introduced does not
seem to have been decided; but given the
paper and the pen, a colored medium
which would show OF a light surface was
80 obvious a want, and one so readily
found, that there is no extraordinary
credit Tue to the unknown inventor. It
appears to be only Of comparatively
late years that black ink has been almost
universal. Roman ink was red, purple
and gold; the inks Of blue, green, violet.
and other shades were not uncommon.
1t is said that, simple as is the compost
ton of ink, 1--WE possess none equal in
beauty and color to that used by the an
clients; the Saxon manuscripts written in
England exceed in color anything of the
kind"
Modern ink-makers will deny the
superiority of the ancients; but who shall
say whether words written in the ink
manufactured to-day will stand,as wildly
centuries hence as those Saxon manu-
scripts have stood? 1t is difficult to see
how the writing materials of the present
day can be improved upon, for conven-
fence at least, setting aside the question
of lasting inks, which the generation that
uses them can not settle. Paper, rough
and smooth, fluent ink of any color that
the writer may believe suitable to his
eyes, pens as fine as q needle or as blunt
as a spade are all to be bought in every
street. The great lack of the age seems
to be ideas at once more novel and sensi-
ole i'll the record of which these service
able materials may be employed.-London
Standard,
