THE BARBARIC LOVER.


"Ingomar" Presented Successfully
at the Opera House Last Night.
"IngOmar," the romantic story OF the
power Of love, was presented at the
Grand opera house last night by K. ID.
Mclean and Marie Prescott. The audi
ence was so apprecistive OF the great
treat offered them that repeatedly these
young actors were called before the cur
tain IngomRr, the barbarian, was pre-.
sented by Mr.. Mclean in a superb man
ner, and was fine conception OF this
part. His parting scene with his band OF
robbers was Il fine piece Of work, while
his gradual transit from a savage to a
civilized man, under the rays first Of a
powerful passion, then under the influ
ence OF the god Love, was so well taken
that the audience WAS more than
pleased. Miss Prescott, as Parthenia,
has no rival for the part in America.
She invests 1t with charm and style
peculiarly her own, and adds to her
sweet innocence, confidiGg womanli-
ness and grand courage, a peculiar Datu-
raj grace and beauty that causes her au
dience to follow her in every word and
movement with eye and ear.
Their support is much better than
several tragedians visiting San Antonio
this season have had.
The barbarian band Of Ingomar all in
terpreted their parts well, while the
Greeks, in costume and delivery were
true 10 the play, the old man. PolydOr
being especially fine.
This afternoon they are presenting fol-
matinee "Pygmalion and Galatea,'
a grand conception OF the extert art Ii
supposed to influence the breast of the
artist, In creating for his work such q
fierce passion as to endow the sculptured
Galatea with lie. Miss Adelaide Moore
presented this In San Antonio last Sea
son. Tonight the play is, LAS you Like

The only true way to health is
that which common sense dictates
to man. Live within the bounds Of
reason. Eat moderately, drink tenn
perately, sleep regularly, avoid ex-
cess in any thing, and preserve a
conscience "void of offense." Some
men eat themselves to death, some
drink themselves to death, some
wear out their lives by Incidence,
and some by over exertion; others
are killed by doctors, while not a
few sink into the grave under the
effects of vicious and beastly prac-
tees. All the medicines in crea-
ton are not worth a farthing to a
man who is constantly and habitual-
ly violating the law of his own ma
ture. All the medical science in
the world cannot save him from a
premature grave. With a suicidal
course Of conduct, he isplanting the
seeds of decay in his own constitu-
ton, and accelerating the destruc-
ton Of his own life.

A REMARKABLE BIRD.
Augusta GA Chronicle.

Mrs. Robert Young, on upper
Broad street, above Marbury, owns
remarkable mocking bird.
Mrs. Young has, through long
training, taught her bird many pop
ular airs, and he has added to his
repertoire by picking up many of
the street calls of the gamins. The
feature in which he excels all other
birds, however, is the assistance
which he gives his mistress in man
aging the household. Mr.. Young
is absent from home the greater
part of the day, and Mrs. Young
found it hard to attend to her store
and at the same time perform those
domestic tasks familiar to all house
wives.
After many months of industri-
Gus training, she now feels safe in
leaving the scrutiny of the shop to
the bird. When he sees her 90
through the rear door he becomes
all attention, and should any GUS
toner enter the shop door he puts
up such a racket as quickly sum-
mons Mrs. Young, and, on several
occasions, frighten nervous patrons
of the store. The noise is a sort of
squeak, and comes nearer to the
grating sound made by sharpening
saw than anything else in the
field of acoustics. And there is no
let up until Mrs. Young appears.
lie can initiate policeman's whis-
tie with such accuracy as to bring
tears of envy to the eyes of one of
the sergeants who is afflicted in this
respect through eating green per-
simmons in early life.
A small boy was making quiet
sneak on a basket containing some
apples with covetous intentions
when the bird caught sight of him
and sent in an alarm, changing the
police signal to that for the proprie-
tor. The boy left in time to save
himself from arrest. The bird is in
disgrace, however, and his neck is
threatened by Mr.. Young. A night
or two ago that gentleman came in
some hours after supper and went
to the pantry to take the keen edge
off his appetite. He forgot about
the bird, and was almost frightened
out of his wits by hearing just over
his head, an unearthly tumult of
noise, made up of saw filings, cat
calls, boots, whistles, and snatches
from "Erminie" and "Johnie. get
your hair cut" etc. The startled
diner dropped his hastily construct
ed sandwich and was hurriedly
leaving the room, when Mrs. Young
made her appearance at the door,
being already aware from the signal
that a raid was being made on the
larder. OF course, it was all right
when she discovered the identity of
the raider. She is frequently an
noyed by the children of the neigh
borhood planning a forage on her
pantry, and when the bird is not on
duty in the store his cage is placed
above the cupboard. There he has
done noble work, but his last alarm
won for him the displeasure Of Mr..
Young, and that gentleman says he
will yet wiring it's neck"

Gentlemen-This past summer
my wife was away on a two months
visit. On her return home she had
a wretched cold, which, growing
worse, caused me to cali in physi-
clan. He attended her several
weeks without benefting her. She,
knowing the splendid effects S. S. S
had on me, determined to test it in
her case. At that time she had
coplous and disagreeable discharges
from the LETT nostril. Before the
first bottle of S. S. S. was used up
she was much better, and a few adj
ditional bottles set her all right.
1t is remarkable that s. S. S. is
good for colds and sore threats. A
lew months ago, was troubled oc-
casionally with my throat from
preaching. | carried bottle of
Swift's Specific with me on the cir
cult. Whenever my throat became
irritated and annoyed me l would
take dose of S. S. S. just before
retiring, and on awakening l would
be well.

KILLED BY A RATHER.

A Memphis, Tenn, special says ::
While two boys, Jackson Moore and
John Harvey, aged about II years,
were hunting squirrels across the
river in Arkansas, they discovered
large rattlesnake coiled on a rock,
apparently asleep. Moore said he
would capture it alive. He crept
up to the deadly RATHER and by a
quick movement caught it firmly
below the head and held it at arm S
length in triumph. Suddenly the
snake coiled itself around the boys
arm. He became frightened and at
tempted to throw it it off, when the
reptile struck him in the neck. Its
fangs became fastened in his flesh.
Moore screamed with horror and
grasping the snake with both hands
tore it loose and flung it to the
ground. tie chen fell in swoon,
while his terrified friend fed for as
siStance.
The nearest house was two miles
distant, and when help arrived the
poor lad was past help and died in
agony. The snake was found coiled
close by and when killed measured
four feet nine inches, and had eigh-
teen rattles.
