The PavanelIi troupe that appeared
recently in this city at Turner opera
house with Wilson and Rankin's min
strels, consisted of five men and a
woman. They appeared in the guise OF
street paviOur and suddenly trans
formed their utensils and materials into

beautiful curls. He was in love with the

things didn't 90 right with him, he sui
cided on Thursday, in the BOwery. New
York. by putting a bullet through his
brain
When Signora Pavenell heard of his
death, she was stricken with grief and
ru-hed 70 the place where his bloody
corpse lay. Gazing intently upon him,
she brushed nack the handsome curls,
and kissing him passiOnately amid her
tears, cried OUT, Go ne back TO me.
dear, brave boy. speak to me, noble.
honest lad. Open those blue eyes and
look at me once again. Speak, oh, speak
to me On! Can you not hear me-"
Then her grief became the more agOn-
ling and Ovgrcame her.
Friends led her gently from the room
and the Actors Fund committee buried
the remains of the poor youth.
All. this was the old story. Ii the fair
signOra had shown Young rarquino the
affection living. that she did dead, he
would have been living nov to cheer
her. AS it is, like many other women,
she spoke too late.

The silence of these two is Ominous, and
the Salisbury cabinet are not anxious to

anti conservatives. How far Gladstone

The news of the death of John A.
Logan, which was flashed over the wires
yesterday afternoon, will be sad news
to hundreds of thousands of brave men
and tender hearted all over this cOun-
try. As union soldier, he WAS brave.
loyal, true, tender and devoted; manly
and considerable to the weak; generous
to his open foes, and a strong, hard
fighter both in the tented field and in
the halls Of congress. A Ii. an of the peo-
pie and thoroughly sympathetic with
them, Senator Logan had won for him
self very warm place in the affections
OF his friends and no less warm place
in the hatred of his enemies. His ser
vices in the army and in congress had
made his name familiar one in all
northern communities. His candidacy
for the Office of vice president two short
years ago made his name household
word in every state of this union. His
prominent mention as a presidential
possibility in 1888, kept his name alive
before the people, ard he was the center
Of much public interest and speculation.
His death, so unexpected, has startled
the whole nation. He filled large place
in the public esteem and WAS very pOpu-
lar with his party. His death to them
and to Illinois, in which state he was
idOlized, Will leave blank no other can
ill. He was not a great statesman, nor
man OF brilliant intellectual gifts. He
WAS u man OF sterling sense, incOrrupti-
bic integrity, large heart, broad views
and national ideas. A man respected
every where and most idOliZed where
best known. Another strong man and
true American has passed away and for
hun the nation mOurns.
