OF the performance the Louisville CONNER

lent and well arranged. The violin per

and, to speak mildly, marvellous. This lit
tie rosy-cheeked gentleman has a faculty Of
extracting music from his instrument in
the most extraordinary and fantastic ways.
An old shoe serves as well for his bow as the
best of horse hair, and washboard or a
comb comes quite as handy. He rubs the
strings against the wall and strains Of mel
ody pour forth. Lew Benedict is such an
old aud tried favorite that it is almost I'M
necessary to mention his success. The same
may be- said of Frank McNish, whose
'Siierce and Fun is known and celebrated
in every city. The performance closes with
a more than usually clever and funny after
piece. entitled The Invalids' Hotel"

Some people are always getting
hurt at whatever does not suit their
whims or notions. They will then
aim to hurt some one else. and 80
even up matters. But the result is
that such persons invariably hurt
themselves more than they injure
others. A brother said to the writer
recently that years ago he got hurt
at the way he was treated by Ger.

church, aud would do nothing for its
support. He has since repented his
