The Arkansaw traveler., 1888-06-23

Woman has done much within the past few years to disabuse the masculine mind of the deeply rooted fact that she is timid creature; that the sight of 8 mouse would throw her into hys- terics. She began to rid herself of this calumny when she first placed live Brazilian bugs in her bair by way of ornament, and she quite threw off the yoke when she took literally to her heart that uncouth species, with the clammy, spider-like legs, known as the "Machette bug" The ultra fashionable woman wears her "Mach- ette," which is some two or three inches in length, encased in gold har- ness; and permits it to wander at will over her shoulders and throat. It is a matter of congratulation that these charming ornaments are imported sparingly. Live lizards also writhed themselves into the favor ofa few, who test their own courage and the endur- ance of their friends, by betting them tenderly and wearing them as shoulder decorations.- Table T'alk.

A Haunted Sleeping Car.

"The Wagner sleeper Council Bluffs arrived from Detroit on one of the Falls road trains yesterday afternoon says the Rochester Herald of recent date. Ut was found that it had a broken wheel and a new one was put under the car here. It left for De- troit on the ten-o o'clock train last even- ing. This sleeper has a peculiar, one may almost say a fatal history. About eight years ago it plunged down an embankment near Council Bluffs and four of it's seven occupants were killed Shortly after that fatal night it's name was changed to the Council Bluffs. A little hter lady passenger died in one of the berths, and, to complete the record of misfortunes, a man hung himself in berth four or five years ago. Ever since that time the Council Bluffs has been known as haunted car. The colored porters who have ridden on it tell weird stories about the strange noises which they heard in berth z, as if the weary mortal was once more arranging the rope with which he ended his existence. Even the stout, matter-of- fact man who holds dominion now upon the car, admits that there are strange noises in that sleeper, although he thinks they are caused by small weights blowing against the side of the car"

A Sketch. Richmond Baton.

The moonlight drifted brokenly through rift in the roof of a negro cabin in the Hanover slashes, and fell on Gabriel Jones' gray bearded face. He was sitting by the fire place, where embers were glowing intermittently, smoking and meditating.
 "Hannahw he called presently, "Hannah '"
 Silence.
 "Hannah l! a'say, Hannah" trife louder.
 There was rustling of the straw in the bed in the corner, and a sleepy an swer-"Huh?"
 "Hannah, did you put dat water million foun' in Marse Ben Scott's patch yistiddy in de cool spring2"
 "Yes, put dat watermillion in de cool spring." she answered deliber- ately.
 "Dat was right"
 A moments pause.
 "Hannah, did you hang dat coat dat Mister Hedley sisted on my talk in,' hind de hay rack, like I tole your"
 "I did, dat"
 "Did you scall and pick dem chick ems I borried f'om de man down on de river road de urr day?"
 "Yes, scall dem chickens"
 "Well, fry me one de fust ting in de morin', case Pse got t go over t Mister Chinky Claptin's t'-morrer t' lead prar meetin' an' keep dem trifin' niggers in de right road"
 Then he leaned his grizzled head on the chair back and snored the snore of the just, and the bull-frog in the marshes caught up the sound and echoed it over the Chickahominy low grounds.

"The Crystal Slipper"

When "The Arabian Nights" was produced at the Chicago opera house last summer the press united in saying that it was the greatest spectacular burlesque that had ever up to that time been seen in this country. It's success during it's thirteen weeks run was something phenomenal, and dem- onstrated to the enterprising manage ment that Chicago, even in midsum- mer, would support an expensive at- traction of merit. It was this that impelled the management of the Chi cago opera-house to expend something like $50,OOO in preparing for the stage Alfred Thompson and H. B. Smiths spectacular extravaganza, "The Crystal Slipper; or Prince Pret- tiwitz and Little Cinderella" which was played for the first time on the evening of June 12. That it scored a hit is undeniable. The enthusiasm the gorgeous scenery, beautiful costumes, brilliant pallets, glittering pageants and marches evoked has seldom been witnessed in Chicago theatre. Many of the musical numbers were rede- manded, And the work of the come- dians made the house ring with laugh ter. It is impossible here to enter into detailed account of the thou sand and one novelties that go to make up this most magnificent and charm ing entertainment. It is sufficient to say that the pallets were superb, the chorus capitally drilled, the auxiliaries rehearsed with care and the actors en- tirely capable. The 200 persons en- gagged in the performance surpass in efficiency any like body of profession als ever gathered together in one com- pany. In reviewing the performance the Chicago Tribune says: "A more snmptuous spectacle has never been seen in America" Says the Tunes. "It is magnificently staged and cos- tuned" "There is time enough, D says the Inter Ocean, "to add @ typo graphical cheer to popular plaudits and proclaim the brilliant success of the enterprise" The Herald says : Probably the most gorgeous extrava- ganza described in the history of the American stage" Matinees are given Wednesdays and Saturdays. On these occasions prices are from 25 cents to | Sl
