Entertainments.
 COMING.
 Louis James and Marie Wainwright, who are acknowledged to be very able and tal- ented opponents of the legitimate and classic drama, will be seen at the New Haven Opera House, Monday and Tuesday evenings. "Vir- ginius," which is now being played with the greatest success in New York by these worthy artists, will be given Monday night and tOthello'' Tuesday.
 JOHN T. RAYMOND.
 This popular comedian will be the attrac- tion at Carll's Opera House next Tuesday and Wednesday, December IA and 15. Mr. Raymond will present on the first night of his engagemene his latest success sfThe Wo- man Hater" It is said to be an exceedingly dorsed "Colonel Mulberry Sellers" with Mr. Raymond in his great creation will be the Wednesday night bill.
 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 'tMichael Strogoff" by Charles L. Andrews company drew large audience at the New Haven Opera House. The play was present ed with special stage settings and interested the audience. The features of the evening were the wonderful advertisements by the Ronaldos, the dancing of Miss Teresina Gossi and the military drill by MT. Frank Kissell. The play will be repeated this evening and will doubtless attract another large audience.
 BuNNELLs GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 The attraction at Bunnell's this afternoon and evening and during the remainder of the week will be Mat Leland's dramatic company in the popular drama comedy "One of the Bravest." This drama portrays the life and vicissitudes of our brave firemen. The great fire scene gives a practical illustration of the science of combating fire and is of value to awaken an interest in fire matters among the masses and brings the audience to reallza- duty calls, rush forth to battle the demon fire. The company is a frst-class one, all the members being chosen for their adaptability to the parts assigned them.
 BARLOW BROS. AND FRosT's MINISTRIES.
 This most excellent company of minstrels will make their first appearance at the New Haven Opera House on Saturday next, giving two performances, matinee and night. The Boston Globe says: Barlow Bros. and Frost minstrels appeared at the opera house last night, and they gave one of the best minstfe el entertainments ever given in this city. The singing would be @ credit to @ hrst-elass opera company. The comedians are fal above the average, and kept the large audi ence in continual roar of laughter. The orchestra is first t-class, and is conducted with skill, and every feature of the entertainment is all that could be desired by the most SC were critics, and is entirely free from the old | worn-out personal and smut jokes generally | used by minstrel companies, and the most fastidious can witness the above company without a blush. This will be the first oppor tunity the ladies of this city who cannot at | tend at night will have to see refined min strel performance, as the company appear al \ the matinee first

The eminent and celebrated Dr. Glessner writes
 The Kaskine Co.-Dear Sirs-'"rhe first greatest successes had with Kaskine were in chills and fs yer, malaria nervous debility rheumatism and 1iy diseases and considered at that time that it undoubtedly the best medicine discovered, but was even then unfamiliar with it's really wonder ful powers in curing all the other germ diseases and disorders particularly where the blood had become diseased or impoverished and the digestion inn paired. Strictly speaking, Kaskiue IS the only blood purifier we have use it also very largely with unfang success in all diseases peculiar to wo m .n and children.

A Wonderful Shot.

In his book, ''Thc Witchcry of Arch
cry" Maurice Thompson relates his adj
ventures with 'Tommy," nm Indian who
was a skilful archer. He says: From
the first I recognized Tommy as nv mas.
ter in the noble science and art of arch
cry, and I laborcd hard to win his appro-
baton by some achievement worthy his
notice. At last accomplished this. He
had a very oad-feathcred arrow which
he had named 'foo- hoo" on account of
a peculiar roaring sound it made while
flying through the air. You could hear
it 600 yards.
One day he shot this arrow at a plover
standing on a point of sand. 1t went
loudly whizzing just over the birds back,
making it settle low down as if struck ut
by a hawk and frightened out of it's wits.
l was at Tommy's side when he shot.
The bird was a good hundred yard
away. He did not miss it q foot. Now
was my time and I settled myself to my
work.
Selecting a light, nhrrow-feathercd
shaft, l planted my feet firmly, measured
the distance carefully with my eye, drew
to my ear and let go. 1t was a glorious
piece of luck and good shooting COM
bincd. The arrow went like n thought,
nolselessly, unwaveringly straight to the
mark, cutting the game through the
craw, killing it on the spot. I leaned on
my bow with as much nonchalance and
grace as I could command, while Tom
my gave me my need of praise. He pat
ted me on the back and wagged his head
significantly; he grunted in various keys,
and finally wound up with:
"Beat! ughl nice! goodp

The Numerals.

When the noble Roman of remote an
tiquity wanted to mark the number one
he drew a single straight line or digit to
represent the upliftcd forc-inger. In
our modern type we print it I. For two
he drew two diglus, or II; for three he
wrote I'LL, and four he represented, not
by w., which is a comparatively late
innovation, but by the good old clock
dial symbol, iii. These, in fact, are
nothing more than just tho fingers of one
hand. But how about tivc2 Why
should it be represented by the ap-
parently meaningless symbol w Simply
because V is not V, but n rude hero
glyphic of n hand, the broad stroke
standing for the four fingers united,
while the narrow one stands for the cx-
tended thumb. v. in fact, is nothing
more than a very degenerate pictorial
symbol, lik the U@ still used by print
ers in certain circumstance to call special
attention to a particular paragraph. As
for X, that is usually represented as
equivalent to two hands set side by side;
but this Interpretation I believe to be
erroneous. I think it much more likely
ION the Indian analogy to stand for "one
man made up"-that is to say, ten, with
a people who counted by fingers alone,
or, in other words, employed a decimal
notation. If this hypothesis be true, x
represents a double of the Indian man
figure, with outstretchcd arms and legs
like a colossus, the hand having disap-
pearcd entirely by disuse, as often hap
pens in the evolution of what arc called
cursive hieroglyphics. -CornhiU.

Grendahl is the happy father of twelve

They We're Firemen.

Ellsworth's New York Zouavcs came
to Washington among the first regiments
in 1861. The Zouaves placed great i'm
portance on the fact that they all had
belonged to the Fire Department of the
city of New York. One day two of
them strolled into the office of the Score.

American inquisitiveness and ingenui-
ty united have produced thread made
from the blossoms of the common milk
weed, which has the consistency and te-
nacity of imported flax or linen thread,
d is produced at much less cost. The
hbre is long, easily carded and may be
readily adapted to spinning upon an or
binary fax spinner. It has the smooth
ness and lustre of silk, rendering it valu-
sble'for sewing machine use. The weed
Is common throughout this country, but
grows profusely at the south. The ma

gathering is as cheaply done as that of
