Another Great Success.

There was about the same number OF
people in the Opera House last night
as the previous one. 4 larger pro-
portion OF the higher priced seats being
occupied, however, made it a better
house for the manager. The enthusiasm
over the Tvrolese warblers and the
champion cyclist, Maltby, was several
degrees increased. The WarOlers give
their rare music in vivaciOus manner
that increases its charms. At every
appearance they We're vOciferously re-
called Maltby gave some new tricks on
the wheels, although II might well have
been thought that he had previously ex-
hausted their revolving capabilities and
his own balancing powers. He per
formed amidst continuous Outbursts Of
applause. Many people who had prior
engagements the past two nights have
taken the precautiOu TO secure seats for
positively the last performance this
evening. Box plan at Nj. Levey's.

The Japanese Temperance Union
celebrated its first anniversary Tuesday
evening. The Lyceum was tastefully
decorated with festoons Of flowers and
vines. Mr.. Taro Ando, the President,
had charge OF the exercises. The sing
ing was led by Mrs. Miyama. Besides
the usual japanese melodies and the
translations OF the Gospel Hymns, there
was a Japanese Temperance Hymn, set to
the tune OF Aud Larg Syne. HectO-
graph copies were distributed, Cleverly
illustrated by our Japanese artist with a
spirited outline drawing OF one OF the
reformers, smashing bottles with a beer
key used a a mallet.
Mr.. AndO gave in his address q brief
narrative OF the origin and progress OF
the work, which in one year has enrolled
over 300 members. Mr.. Ban read the
Constitution aud also letter from
japanese Iaborer at keaIia, Kauai, who
took the pledge last June and sent TO the
association $500. His health was
restored. his pocket-bOok full, and in
token OF hi, gratitude he sent this don

country, and as rapidly shook off the
outward semblances OF tenderfooted
Eastern habit. Rough-bearded, leath-
er-clad, sombrero as wide as the widest;
42-calber Colts on his hips, ne was
wild as the widest. Yet within his
bosom still burned the flame OF Boston
culture and refinement. One day be
was riding with a stranger across the
prairie. Turning his head suddenly,
(he was slightly ahead), he saw his
companion make a suspicious move
ment towards his hip pocket. Wish
out hesitation he drew his revolver and
shot him. The stranger dropped like
a log The cowboy dismounted and
looked at the body of his victim. Il
wonder il he was really going to shoot
me?" he soliloquized. "Ell see" Turn
ing the body over he discovered a bot
tie of whiskey pretruding from the
pocket. Poor fellow said he in q
tone of regret. 1--we made mistake.
I've killed an innocent man, and q

IN THE LAST DITCH.

! had charge of district IN Missss-
sipni after the war, and among the
many duties was that Of receiving the
surrender Of irregulars--men who had
not surrendered with any organized
body. Most Of them came in very
humbly, glad to have the thing settled.
but once in while struck a fire-eater.
One day little red head of u man,
who had the voice Of u baby and the
avoirdupo;s of youth, presented HIM
self and began:
''Be CAD, sab, / have come in, sab,
to see what terms can be secured in
case ! surrendah."
"Havn't you surrendered YETI |
inquired.
.'No, sahl Not by id sight! |
said I'd die in the last ditch, and I've
kept nay word" 4,
.'Whose company did you belong
to-"
"Belongl Belong. Egad, sab, YOU
insult me. sab! l belong to any ones
company. why, sab, had a regi-
ment of my own!,.
(Which was it,"
"No mattah, sab; no mattah. | can
not be crushed l can be insulted, but
not crushed. Good day, sab. I'll see
TIE United States weep tears of blood
befo' I'll surrendah. Hayn't a card,
but my name is Col. Risner"
He went off in high dudgeon, but
in about week he returned and be-
gan:
CAS- the impression seems to be gen,
eral that the southern confederacy has
been crushed, | called to see what
terms would be granted me i'll case l
concluded to lay down my sword"
Unconditional surrender" | briefly
replied.
Then, be CAD, sab, I'll never lay it
down while life is left. The cause is
lost, but principle remains. You can
inform Gen. Sheridan that refuse to
surrendah.'
He returned two weeks later. He
seemed TO have had hard time of it,
as his uniform was in rags and his
pocket empty.
Look heah, captain" he said as he
icame in, Il don't want to p-olong this
bloody strife, but | am forced to do 50
by honah. If accorded reasonable
terms might surrendah. What do
you say"
The same as before"
"Then you are determined to grind
us TO powdah, eh? Sooner than sub
nit III shed the rest Of my blood!
Send on your armies, captain; I'm
ready for 'em"
4 Just week from that day he came
in again, said he'd like to surrender,
drew his rations with the rest, and
went off in good humor. He had
been corporal in guerilla company
numbering twenty-three men, and had
never seen a man hurt-N Y. Sun.
