Is Skating Fashionable?
 The theaters suffer severely by the development of roller skating rinks. A dramatic journal publishes letter from an aggrievsd manager, complain ing that the rinks by affording cheap evenings entertainment, are thinning the audiences of the regular theaters. He is evidently actuated by 8 dog-in- the-manager spirit.
 We hear of nothing but roller skat- ing, and the opening of new rinks. Bazaars, chapels, furniture ware houses, picture galleries, and even old Saddlers Wells Theater, have had to yield to the fashion and transform into homes for the new amusement. Everybody rinks. Of the London rinks, Princes is She most fashionable and exclusive. Nc lady is admitted unless she has been presented at court, and the gentlemen constitute the flower of aristocracy. The Princess of Wales is a frequent spectator, and the Prince of Wales was frequently there while in England Many ladies of position, not eligible for Princes, go to the Chelsea rink. It is the largest covered rink in London. The Oxford Circus Rink was opened last Monday. It presented a gay appear ance with it's festoons and flags. The attendance was large. Lords Ranelagh and Westmoreland skate here. Lady Falkstone, who skates at Princes, and several American ladies have attract ed especial notice. At the Royal Avenue rink may be seen Lords Petersham, Charteris, Marquis Clan curry, Sirs A. Scott, Henry English, c. W. Gerald, the Hon. W. Stanhope, and others of note. paid a visit to Brighton to-day. The rink in that city proves to be a greater attraction to the public than the celebrated aquarium. A fine band of music gave romance to the poetry of motion. Here Lord William Lennox is seen in flicting the story of Waterloo upon Sir Seymour Fitzgerald and the Earl of Chichester. Up comes Commo- dore Ashbury, of yachting, fame, like Mercury on wheels, General Shute and two other members of Parliament are holding caucus, and Captain Wallace, the patron of coaching, passes like a flash, having abandoned Pegasus for the flying wheels. The ladies skate beautifully, and take to the sport quite naturally. Viscountess Forbes and Lady Wentworth may be seen gliding gracefully among the throng.
 As fashionable exercise for ladies, there is nothing so well adapted to the development and display of fine figure, and in no way can lady pre- sent eARl elegance and grace as when cfrcling about on skates in evening costume. As this accomp- lishment is now becoming a very i'm portant part of every young lady's education, we design to make it a feature of the "Boudoir," presenting from time to time, whatever may be of interest to the beginner, or new to the experinced skater.-Ex.

Stage Robbed.

The stage was held up last Saturday evening short distance this side
 Pinal by a solitary highwayman. Nothing was taken except Wells, Fargo & Co.'S box, and it contained no valuables. The robber expected to secure $500, probably, as that amount was shipped from here to PiLal on the same stage. But it was not in the ex- press box and ne missed it. There were two passengers aboard the stage, one armed with shot gun and the other with a rife. The robber did not dIsarm or disturb them. After the stage had passed an hundred yards or so beyond the robber "Nick," the driver, told the passengers to give him gun, drive on with the stage and he would go back and take the robber iii while he was breaking open the ex- press box. But the passengers de murred, saying they had paid their passage and desired to be driven into Pinal at once. Yet, during the after noon one of these passengers had in- formed the driver that the rifle he (the passenger) was carrying had been pre- sented to him by Pinkerton, the great great detective, as token of regard for his valuable detective work in the pursuit of the noted Missouri outlaws, the James boys. Beside this, during the afternoon MT. Steven Bailey, who was coming down to Florence from Silver King, stopped the stage to get a drink of water. When he refined up his horse and Nick stopped the stage team the Pinkerton detective and his partner levelled their guns at the for mer under the pretense that they sup posed he was road agent. After this little incident Nick felt safe against robbers, supposing, of course, he had pair of fighters from Fighterville aboard the stage. Later, when the genuine road agent confronted them, gun in hand, Nick smiled a satisfied smile and said to himself, "Alas poor robber, moment hence your remains will have to be swept up and glued together to make a respectable look ing corpse" and his heart thrilled with sorrow for the poor unfortunate who had unsuspectingly placed his carcass in front of two well-manned batteries. But Nick was victim of misplaced confidence. No sound dis turbed the quiescent night, no smoke of battle shut out the light of the "diamond-lit lanterns by angel hands out hung" This robber was not one the detective passengers had lost. They did not know him, had not been introduced to him and did not care to shoot stranger.

It is to be hoped that Mir. Haskins will meet with that benefit to his health which he seeks in the climate of this country.

Miss Mamie Cannon the elder sister stole up to

MICHIGAN CITY, Sept. 2Z-Frank Whiting
and Charles Havens, convicts in the northern
prison, to-day made desperate attempt to
escape. They were both sent to the penitentiary
from Indianapolis about one year ago, Whiting
for ten and Havens for fourteen years. Several
times since they entered the penitentiary they
have made attempts to escape, and the prison
authorities regarded them as the most danger

at work in the shoe factory on the second floor,
when switch engine entered the
yard. The two men sprung from
their work with knives and hammers
in hand and in an instant were down stairs
and had taken possession of the engine
Whiting threw wide open the throttle. and the
engine started rapidly for the outside of the
walls. Charles Young, guard, who had wit
messed the dangerous feat, rushed up, and,
taking deliberate aim, shot Whiting through the
heart, and severely but not dangerously wound
ed Havens, who clung to the engine until it was
outside, when he jumped and started for a
neighborng cornfeld, but was overtaken. He
turned ferociously on the guard and was shot in
the head inficting only slight wound. He
then surrendered himself.
Whiting and Havens were two Of the worst
criminals that were ever sent up from this
county. Whiting was notorious foot pad. and
fer months was terror to the people of Indian
apolis. He would appear in different parts of
the city each night, and for long while success
fully evaded the police. He was regarded as a
dangerous man in every respect, and when he
was lodged behind the State prison bars the cti-
