RAYMOND IN 1.-THE MAGISTRATE
"The Magistrate" was brought out before
a large audience at Albaugh's Grand Opera
House last night and proved decided sue
cess. 1t Is a bright comedy, with several
good parts in it. Mr. Raymond as the
Magistrate had an opportunity of showing
the development of a new line of humor
quite different from that which has become
familiar to all In Colonel Sellers, but none
the less funny. He kept the house in a roar
of laughter all the time that he was on the
stage. Mr. Drew rs Cis Harrington was
capital, while Mr.. Whiting as Colonel Ld,kp,
and Mr.. Everham as M. Bethany were ex-
ceedingly clever. Miss Kate Forsyth as
agatha POskd showed her ability as an
actress in a number Of trying situations.
The rest Of the company was excellent, aud
In consequence the performance ran evenly
and afforded genuine enjoyment. "The
Magistrate,n which will run through the
week, is well worth seeing.

A Remark able Dinner.

There was n unique dinner given the
other evening at Delmonico's to some flf-
teen of the Cora Pearls of New York-ele-
giant, lazy, luxurious creatures, who were
born to futter in the golden sunlight and
perish in the ditch. The feast was spread
by gentleman who is identified with our
ferries and railroads.&c. inherltor of mil
lions from father who never expended a
dollar in luxury. Hand-painted cards,
with the assumed name Of each dainty
beauty upon them, fanked with exquisite
little boutonnieres, were feature in the
table adornment, and under each plate was
valuable ring, the stone being selected to
correspond with the wearer's particular
style OF beauty. 1t was notable banquet,
marked by little too much style, an over
scented atmosphere and luxurious laziness,
which spoke volumes for the reason why
the crop of Cora Pearls never diminishes.
Laziness has more to do with 1t than pas
sion, and love Of luxury is another cogent
factor in the problem,-[New York Letter
in Philadelphia Record.

WASHINGTON. JAN. 10, 1885.
TIE QUESTION OF RErEAL.


The Washington correspondent OF
the Minneapolis 7ifbUHe says it is eX.
tremely doubtful If a bill for the repeal
of the Civil.Scrvice act could muster
fifty votes in the House of Representa-.
iives, and though it might fare proper
iionately better in the Senate, II could
not pass that body.
Without stopping TO question the nc
curacy of what seems to TnE CRIrrc
n somewhat questionable statement,
we would supplement it just for argu-
monts sake with another statement
that there are probably not more than
fifty Members of the House who really
believe in the law.
The point then is that back of Con
gress is u popular sentiment in favor OF
what goes by the name of Civil Service
Reform, so strong that while large
majority in both houses regard the law
in its present shape and manner of op-
Grafton as an unadultcratcd sham, only
"A small minority of the two Houses
would dare to put themselves onrecord
by their votes for its repeal.
This is pretty strong statement of
The case and will probably stand some
modification. We simply put it in this
mtithetical sort of a way in order to
offset one extreme view with another.
What THE CRITIC believes to be
about the truth is that on test vote
considerably more than fifty members
would pronounce against the law; but
that repeal bill would fail of passage,
not so much because Of the popularity
of the law with the people as for the
reason that so many Democrats deem
The agitation at this time inexpedient,
and so many Republicans are well
enough contcnted to let the law stand
MS it is so long as it ties the hands of a
Democratic Administration.
AS to any great popular demand for
the continuance of the law, it is no.
where perceptible, and the more it
comes to be understood as non.essen-
tial TO the reform of the CivilService
the less Will the people care Tor II.
Whatever reforms in the Government
are needed, the party in power can ac-
complish them quite as well without
its aid as with it, taking the credit of
what 1t does successfully and the direct
responsibility for what it fails to do,
That's the business-like view of the
situation which both people and politi-
clans are generally coming to take,
Aids TO reform that are merely adven-
titious or sentimental, based upon the
assumption that there is something
grossly wrong in the "spoils system
against which nature and reason alike

be left to the Republican party, how
ever, to get rid of it in its own gOoj

The Nov Got Along.

1t was q New York capitalist who
flung a thousand dollars at one OF his

Oscar wilde and Miss Bayard.

Oscar Wilde knew the late Miss Bayard
very well, says the Philadelphia Press. He
was great admirer of her wit and power
of repartee and lost no opportunity to meet
her during his stay in Washington. One
fine day the Capitals society people found
themselves interested in two events which
were to take place in the evening. One was
lecture by the champion Of the sunnower
and the other was brilliant reception.
Oscar Wilde met Miss Bayard during the
afternoon of that eventful day, aud she
asked him:
"Mr. Wilde, will you 90 to the reception
tonight Sn
"Well," he replied, 'lf am not too
much fatigued after my lecture"
A short pause followed, and then he saidi
"Miss Bayard, Of course you will be at
the reception ?"
"Well," came the answer, "if am not
too much fatigued after your lecture

A AurnIuS Of Gold.

There is great surplus of gold in
the National Treasury, and there is an
other in the banks. The timidest soul
that walks the streets need not distress
himself through fear of the country's
ruin just yet. 1t is rather large coun-
try, overflowing with natural wealth;
there are 55,0O0,000 of people in it,
generally enterprising, industrious,
thrifty and hopeful. The natural
wealth is TO be developed, and they
will develop it, There is no cause for
the gold exporting scare at all. That
is little episode of the passing hour,
and suggestive only of the necessity
for less extravaganza in buying for
eign luXuries and more care in keeping
down the foreign score.-[ Philadelphia

THE .suuirc's Old Chestnut.

Some explanation is necessary rs to
why we remained hid out in the old
fields during the Christmas holidays.
At an early hour on the morn.
ing of the 25th, Thomas Patrick
sent word that Esquire Samuel Chafln,
the oldest bailiff, perhaps, in the world,
was on his way to Covington with his
old threadbare, sore. back, rundown
in-the-hcel yarn about having "killed
n squirrel, going to cook half of 1t and
invite the whole of Social Circle down
to breakfast" Usually it takes the
Squire about ten hours to relate this
story; giving details and splitting every
two minutes requires five hours more.
Nearly every man in Newton County
has felt the weight of his four-inch au-
CUR, in the shape of this squirrel yarn,
and when il becomes known that he
has remodelled it and proposes to go
out on relating tour" everybody
hides out and leaves the Squire all the
room he could desire. Such was the

THE TELEPHONE SUITS.

The Bell Telephone Company is nat
Mally good deal disturbed over the
decision of Secretary Lamar, that the
United States should enter suit to test
the validity of their patents. Their
earnings seem almost fabulous. While
the entire telephone plant in the United
States could be duplicated for 4,000,-
600, the company, which, by the way,
does not own the whole of the plant,
clears annually s7,O0O,O 900 and has a
capital Of $112,0O0,O0O. There are
very few companies in the world that
can clear every twelve months twice
the amount of money that they have
actually invested. Experts in the busi.
ness say that the Bell Company could
make a reduction of 80 per cent. in its
rates and get clear good profits.
Such eXtortion, for that Is about
what it practically amounts to, is not II
very healthy thing to contemplate, es-
pecially if any doubt exists as to the
company's right to its patents. The
counsel for the contesting companies
are confident that the result of the suit,
which will probably be brought before
the courts in this city, will be n
triumph for them. Mr.. Humphreys,
who represents the Globe Company,
says that he will not be surprised if the
Bell people did not defend themselves
in the coming suit, but do as did the
barbed wire and torpedo monopOlists
did when Attorney General Brews.
ter entered suit against them. They
did not go into the court at all, al
though the barbed wire people could
have done so with three thousand and
the torpedo manufacturers with fifteen
hundred previous decisions in their
favor. They simply fought their op'
ponents by suddenly dropping thoil
prices seventy-fve per cent. Mr.
Humphreys thinks the Bell Company
is likely to adopt the same policy and
drop its prices with view to killing
off its rivals.
That good may come out of it to tho
general public, is about all the interes
in the matter that the general public
has.
