The desperate straits to which travelling
theatrical companies are driven to devise
original advertising lodges, since the
perambulating street band has ceased to
he novelty, is evidenced by the fact that
one manager in the west has organized
his men into baseball nine. The ad
vance agent manages for game with a
local nine Oh the afternoon of the arrival
of the company. II there Is no baseball
club in the community, scrub nine is
selected and uniforms are loaned them by
the manager. who carries two sets for just
such an emergency. The Thespians
always allow the local nine TO beat them
as an inspiration TO local pride. The COM
pany generally only plays one night in
each place, but II there is a second night

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.
Return Here of Delegates 20 the chi

Gently held IN Chicago reached the city yes
terdav. returning home-amOng them Hon,
John :. Wise and x. 4. Paul, Of Richmond
Winfield Scott. Of the Fifth district, and
Captain Henry Iludnal, one Of the Malone
ite ateTnates from Richmond.
Mr.. Wise seems very much delighted with
the Harrison Morton ticket, and is confident
they viii carry the state. lIe thinks larri-
sons family connections add considerably TO
his chances in Virginia. As TO the two Re-
publican electoral tickets in this state he .aid
that that would be fixed; indeed he seemed TO
think it as good a. fixed already. His view
is that the Chicago Convention by seating
Mahone's delegate, at large settled the qucs-
ton OF electors at large in favor Of MahOne's
men. There were no district conventions in
the First and Fourth districts and in two
other districts the same electors were chosen
by both factions. That, il is argued, gives
Malone six out OF the twelve electors, and IL
would seem that Mr.. Wise would be content
10 retire six men from the anti.Alahone elec.
toral ticket aud pul IN their places these six.
