edy In verse, which hhs perhaps somewhat
lost its SAVIOR In the keeping. This little piece
was played with immense success at the
Odeon. After La Clique" Mr.. Augier was
smitten with a frenzy for work, and mistak-
ing desire for inspiration he continued like a
mere scholar after having commenced like a
master. His third production, "Un Homme
de Bien," was a step in the right direction,
which, followed up by the "Aventuriere" and
Gabrielle finally led him into the path of
steady and honest work.
For the sake OF clearness and con venience,
the work OF Mr.. Angler may be divided into
three periods. The frst-from lS44-5l in
Guiding la Clique "L'Aventuriere,n "Un
Homme de Bien," Gabrielle" and lie
Joueur de Fluten-was a period OF activity
uncertain Of its end. The second period
from lS5l-6I, OF which the principal works
were "Le Gendre de Monsieur PORTER" lie
Marriage d'Olympe,n "Des Lionnes Pauvres,"
DIANE and "Philiberten-was a period OF
curious and attentive study, ever trying to
vary its inspirations, examining carefully tho
world and the theatre.
The third period OF Mr.. Anglers career
commenced with II burst Of A~ristophanic
comedy in the Fills de Giboyer,n "Maitre
Guerinn and LA Contagion,n in which
Mr.. Angler exhausted his vigorous satire in
painting types Of adventures such as are
found only too often in Partisan society.
W. J.
Even in 1865, thirty-four years ago, when
the portrait Of W. j. Florence which appears
below was first made, he was considered one
OF the promising young actors of America.
That he was one of the handsomest is shown
by the picture. Florence is also a most indie
fatigable joker.
The late Ed Sothern invited young Fitz-
roy, son Of the Duke Of Beaufort, to a
breakfast in the Gramercy Park hotel one
day, and left him with Florence for IA few mo-
ments while he went down stairs to see some
ladies, Florence convinced the young lord
that he waslooking bad and needed exercise.

The t%rotting horse is the product of our

belongs to the Russian Count Orloff and to
American intelligence. At the present day
the trotting horse is regularly bred in Russia

with the R,bespierres and st. Justs, but his
heart is dead, and he lives only for revenge.
For the able lives, too. Catherine Duvnl is
now the widowed Countess OF st. Valerie,
with a gay and handsome young son, who is
being led to perdition by tho able, his
guardian
1t is Landry's turn now. The able and the
young count are condemned 10 death. A
Toisy scene in the prison corridor, in which
Jailer Toupet strives to drown the ribald
songs q the men who are to die in the morn
ing, is interrupted by the message Of Landry
summoning the able to his presence. Now
comes one OF the most effective scenes in the
play. The moonlight is streaming through
the windows OF Landry's room. He sits
writing at a table as Latour, mocking and
testing, is led in The door is locked, and
Landry offers himn passport and a disguise
IL he will fight. The duel is 70 Flowed with
intense interest, and the death agony OF La
tour is magnificent The clashing Of the
swords seemed to put spirit into him, and
when with a violent effort he pulled the
blood-stained handkerchief from his bosom
the action sent a shudder through the house.
Then comes the heroic sacrifice OF Landry,
He meets the Countess Valerie at the foot
Of the scaifold on which the Guillotine is
erected, 10y the side OF the skeleton limbs of
the tree of uberty-a horribly weird and
suggestive scene. The dawn Is close at hand,
and a streak of light breaks the sky. Envel
oped in black the countess lies crouched up
on the steps " the scaffold, awaiting the
fatal hour when her sons neck shall be en-
circled by the ignominious collar. Then
Landry learns for the first time that Gather
Inc Duval married st. Valerie only when the
Able Latour had produced evidence that
Landry had died in this Bastile. 1t is then
he resolves to take her sur's place under the
knife. The final leave taking in Landry's
chamber is played with affecting pathos.
Without, they are crying out the death roll;
he, full of intention, tears himself away to
take his place in the tumhril, she, mad with
fear for her son, not understanding Landry's
action until her son rushes to her arms, and
then through the window she sees Landry on
the scaffold, when the curtain drops
TIL plot is divided into three distinctive
aud clear cut periods, which it Is the purpose
of the acts to emphasize-the Old Regime

Carp Fish.

The introduction of carp fish into
the United States and the consequent
increase of fish ponds or farms has
proved double blessing to those who
have engaged in that industry. The
ponds in which the fish are propagated
are usually large enough to furnish ice
for an ordinary ice house, Taking adj
vantage of this, many farmers are
building houses for the storage of the
frozen material for summer use. This
improvement goes hand in hand with
improvement, and every day we are
adding luxuries that have always been
within our reach-to comforts which,
until recently, were strangers to most
farmers. Boggy and Improbable
places on farms have been converted
into valuable fish ponds, with the
added facilities of securing summer
supply of ice.

B, Fay Mills. the evangelist, is at
Jersey City, and Sunday he opened
his service by talking plainly from the
text, First they gave their own souls
to the Lord" In the course of his SER
mon he said: Il would not give a
snap of my finger for the man who be-
comes a Christian merely because he
wants to avoid hell and wants to enter
heaven. There are three things that
make Christian. They are knowledge,
experience and service. 1t is not
necessary for q man to have an in
tellect to know God. 1t is not neces-
sary to know and understand all about
the Bible. The first thing TO do is to
give yourself up to God, and then you
will get knowledge. Give yourself up
to MIN and he will teach you all you
should know and make you what you
should be, and if you are not satisfied
you can make up your mind that you
have not given yourself up to him"

Horrible Accident

Thomas Jr., his eleven year old son.
was thrown from the wagon on which
he was riding, and instantly killed.
The team oa which the lad was riding
belonged to a neighhor who had sent
his hired man to assist Mr.. Carney in
moving, and the wagon was heavily
loaded with goods, and also contained
Mr.. CarneY's wife and children. After
crossing the bridge outside of Pedrick-
town, the mules became unmanage-
able, and the hired man, in his endeav-
ors to check them, was thrown down
on the tongue, and while in this posi-
ton the lad in some manner fell un-
derneath the wheels, which passed
over his head, crushing the skull.

MORE OYSTER LEGISLATION.

Our reporter Saturday inquired of
Assemblyman Trenchard as to Oyster

informed that a new bill has appeared,
and that it provides that any person,
citizens of this State, holding grounds,
not natural beds, shall be confirmed
in their holding, and their right 20 use
such grounds; and oysters thereon
shall be the personal property of hold
er, provided such grounds shall be
properly staked or marked off.
That the holder of grounds may
plant, cultivate and gather oysters,
thereon; and any person taking the
same without permission of holder,
shall be deemed guilty of misde-
meanor and convicted, shall be fined
not more than $3.50 or Imprisonment
for one year, or both.
ming purposes, shall be used for oys-
ter planting.
That stakes shall be elastic, so as
not to impede navigation.
That nothing in the act shall give
title against the State, and Riparian
Commissioners may make grants the
same as before.
So far as we can perceive, this does
not materially change our present
law

Too MANY Mills.

The reduction in the wages of the
employees of the Iron Works was not
wholly unexpected, as all who keep
themselves posted upon the iron busi-
ness know that matters are very, very
dull. All through the country the
mills are either closing, or the wages
of the employees are being reduced.
This is caused from reproduction
last year. A Appointment mailer said yes
terday, that there were twice as many
nails made as there were used by the
public. Then the manufacture of wire
nails is doing much to demoralizing
the trade in iron goods. Nails are
bringing lower prices to day than was
ever known before.

Whether or not the big ponds about
town freeze, one of the local ice com
panies intend to have a sufficient sup
ply for the trade next summer, and
that too, very fortunately, without
sending down East after it. The East
Lake Ice Company in few days will
receive, from the upper part of Jersey,
1000 tons of good ice by rail. 1t will
be transferred from the cars to the
houses by wagons. There is plenty of
good ice in North Jersey, and South
Jersey is not likely to suffer greatly.

Fred. Franfz Dead.

Bridgeton people will be greatly sur
prised to learn of the death of a for
mer citizen, in the person of Frederick
Frantz, who died Saturday morning of
inflammation of the bowels at his home
in Camden. Mr.. Frantz was for many
years an employee of the Cumberland
Nail and Iron works, and before going
to Camden held the position of fore
man of the pipe mill. He was one of
the first members of the Bridgeton
Fire Department, and acted in the
capacity of captain of the hose. Some
time since he left Bridgeton and went
to Camden where he secured the posi-
ton of foreman in the tube works and
was well liked by his employers.
