Tbo shalssrearean pantomimo,

There was a good-sized audience at
the Shakspeareap Pantomime.l last night.
The only thing which occurs to mar the
enjoyment of these performances is the
practice which the Roman Senators have
of going out and disporting themselves

Julius Cesar, Their appearance IS as
heartrending as grease mixed with per-
spiration can make it. and they should
keep under cover, so as not to frighten

mented on at the first performance,

Tho Bill TO Pay Intorest 70 Holders of
Board OF Audit Certificates.

Board OF Audit CertlhcHtoB.
The Commissioners have put their veto
on what they consider scheme to take
half million of dollars out of the Dis
trct treasury. House bill 1923 provides
for the payment to persons holding board
of audit certificates that were not ex-
changed for 3.05 per cent. District of Co
lumbia bonds before the board of audit
was abolished, interest at the rate of per
cent, from the date of issue OF said GER
tifoates until they were exchanged for the
3.G5 bonds nearly six years aftefward
This would make q difference to the
District of 500, Sl9.8
The bill also provides for the payment
of 8 per cent. certificates of indebtedness,
or "greenbaok" certificates, at the rate Of
per cent. since their maturity
They are now drawing 0 per cent.
In redeoming tho 8 per cent. bonds, in
terest Is computed upon them and upon
all coupons at per cent. per annpm,
from the date of maturity TO the date of
redemption, calculating interest in this
manner from the average date of ma
turity, July i, 1885, to March /, 1888,
500 bond would be worth $l76.S0;
$4,000 worth $203, 800. If interest was
computed as provided in this bill, 800
bond would be worth March l, 1888,
$3l8.S4 and the amount required TO. re-
deem the $4,000 would be 1864, ,366.
Another objection 10 the BILLS that, If
these greenback certificates are exchanged
for the 3.65 bonds, the bonds could not be
redeemed for thirty-fiye years, while II is
probable that the greenbaCks will be re-
deemed in three years at most.
In speaking of the bill, Commissioner
Wheatley characterized IL as Job.

Word has reached here that a man and
his son, living at Poplar Grove, near Fort

obtained are that the father and son left
their house with shoyels to clear the snow
from q haystack not more than 10 or 20
rods'distant. The father and SON were at
once fiercely attacked by apack of 10
wolves, which literally ate them alive,
while the wife and mother gazed through
the window at the horrible sight, knowing
it was certain death to no out. After the
brutes had, eaten all, the flesh, off the
bones, they came up to the house and
