play is admirably constructed, with dra-
matte situations, and comedy and pathos
are delightfully."- blended. The charac-
tiers are splendidly drawn. That of
George Brand, the eurate, is said to be
the best minister upon the stage. The
author has made him a wonderfully
strong man. Brand is in love with Ruth
Hope, an orphan, with small fortune.
Previous to the opening of the play,
Brands cousin, Stephen .Morler, has
ruined a yOnng girl named Barbara,
who returns from London. Stephen
wishes to marry Ruth to get her money.
:. He makes Barbara tell Ruth that Brand
n is the man who ruined her, and thus
separates her from Brand. Stephen
marIies Ruth. and they go to London.
Their little means are quickly spent by
the dissipated husband, who leaves his
Iiwife and child TO starye. Ruth learns
!, of her husbands duplicity, and also of
number OF crimes that he has COM
mlt6ed. She goes to a lonely garrett
where he is living, to see him. Fearing
Hthat she will denounce him, Stephen
/ attempts to murder her. and is almost
successful. Then Brand confronts him.
n This is the great scene of the play. The
patient man, who has borne everything,
rises in all the magnificent strength of
mis- strong manhood. and, forgetting his
ucloth. enters into terrific struggle with
sStephen, finally overcoming him. Ste
phen is afterwards killed by pal of
his, and Ruth and Brand again come
together. The comedy is principally
furnished by Juliana Boggs, stage
struck young lady. '.The Wages of

Something of novelty in the general

the engagement of Washington Irving
Bishop, the mind reader-he who jerks
the unuttefed thought from the hidden
recesses of the brain and gives it away
without any Of the appliances which
enabled evening paper reporters to
read the mental operations of the Bar
"retts without even seeing them, and to
describe the hanging infinitely several
hours before it occurred. Mr.. Bishop
is preceded by Gus Thomas, st. Louis
newspaper man, who has been giving
some illustrations of nerve develop
ment during the past few days
that are quite as startling as the feats
of Bishop. He rivaled the attorneys in
their efforts to have the sentence of
Pete Barrett committed, so that Bishop
could read his mind, and, if he had the
time, would have gotten out petition.
He has had the reading clerks at the
legislature announcing Bishops engage
mentS from their desks, and now he
wants every citizen of Minneapolis to
stop thinking for few days, so as to
have a good supply of thoughts On hand
when Bishop gets here.

Joe Arthur, the author of 1.-THE Still
Alarm" was present at the hanging of
the Barretts. While waiting for the
execution, some one remarked that it
was a shame that Minneapolis had not
patronzed his play there. "That's why
am here" returned Joseph. Il am
getting even with Minneapolis by see
ing two of its citizens hung who failed
to visit my unriyaled show"
Col. 2. Percy Weadon, of. the Grand,

shortly. The piece is called High

eially, with its new scenery and fresh

Care of q Coal Oil Lar-1n.

Although the daily press prints copious
statements of horrors, many people con-
tinue to confde in the common oil lamp
with fearless reliance nothing short Of
incredible, considering the well known
dangers associated with it's careless man
agement. Some Of the state legislatures
hove enacted laws to regulate the manu-
facture of kerosene OIL limiting the flash
ing point" to not less than 100 dogs. Fab
renheit. This, however. appears to- be an
illusory safeguard. Experiments seem to
have conclusively proved that most of the
lamps made will, even with the best quail
ity of oil, generate gas in sufficient guam
titles to cause a violent explosion. A
writer In late number of The Scientific
American compares the ordinary kerosene
lamp to miniature gas machine, making
gas and depositing it in the oil tank as
effectively as though 1t were an apparatus
especially designed for that purpose.
1t may be worthy OF mention here that
the gas thus referred to is al element
capable of exerting immense energy when
ignited. but this contingency can be al
ways provided against by using a good
lamp and keeping it well supplied with
oil, so as to leave little space in the tank
for gas. Under these conditions lamp
that is carefully handled and never re-
plenished while burning will rarely or
never explode.-"L. NJ" In Boston Bud

PEELED him on the ground that he had
been proved, by his own confession
guilty of immoral, unprofessional. and

of this man seems likely to prove that

punishment lodged in society itself

IN December, 1858. Bosco. the world re-
nowned conjurer, came also; he was a
wonderfully jovia1 man, reveling IN the
practice of legerdemain, of which he was
a consummate master, and not IN the
least reluctant to fool all he met, high
and low, in public and in private. He
was the last OF the prestidigitators who
trusted more to their marvellous manfpu-
lation than to artificial tricks andHpre-
pared contrivances; short and ver7 stout,

countrywomen and their wares, he
would carefully pick up a carrot or q
turnip, cut it open abstractedly, and with
feigned surprise extract a piece of money,
repeating the experiment several times
from different baskets, till the dazzled
vendors ruthlessly performed the same
operation on their whole stock in quest
of the coveted silver. Bosco. laughing
like boy at lis practical joke, generally

The State Line Alliance, of North
Carolina. will discuss the desirability
of ladies joining the Alliance.
Five Alliances in Mecklenburg
county, Va. saved S1.245.72 by
purchasing their fertilizers through
the county Alliance agent.
Washington county Alliance is
some 800 strong and the membership
rapily increasing. The county has
only been organized about two
months.
The Alliance of Rowan county,
this State, reduced the acreage Of
cotton and tobacco one fourth, and in
creased the acreage in corn and
peas one-fourth.
It is said that Kentucky is being
thoroughly organized in every county

cover the State and present a strong,
unbroken front to trusts, monopolies,

Method of Electric Acupuncture.

The Chinese, we arc told, employed
acupuncture at least 1900 years since,
and the Japanese adopted it long ago.
Their practitioners employed puncturing
needles Of gold and silver, 8nd their manu-
facture was on art of great Importance.
They were of different shapes-sone
bladed like swords, and others Of the orGl-
nary needle form. At the end of the
Eighteenth century acupuncture was in
troduced into Europe, and was developed
in the present century. NJ. Gaife, q
French electrician, has recently con-
structed variety of needles for electric
acupuncture, especially applicable to the
perforation of painful tumors, so as to
avoid unnecessary pain.
BY the electric acupuncture the current
is conveyed into the tumor and applied at
the point where it is most required to
effect the dissolution of the morbid liquid
contained in it. For this purpose the
blade is vanished, except at the point,
and thus insulated, 50 that the current
only escapes at the point. Glass or India
rubber has been used to coat the needle,
but insulating varnish is preferred, since
it does not thicl1en the probe so much.
Tho upper end of the needle Is connected
to one pole of the voltaic battery used,
and there is conducting plate applied to
the skin and connected to the other pole.
When, therefore, the needle is forced
into tho tumor the current flows from it's
point to the conducting plate through the
flesh and decomposes any unhealthy fluids
there may be in its passage. This process
aids the absorption of these secretions
and the destruction Of the tumor.-Phil
adelphia Record.
