Music.
"From Sire to SOM is one of Mr.. No
bles best composition, and ranks high
rs an American melodrama. 1t blends
the pathetic and humorous, and brings
out the strong points OF the incidents
that cluster around q narrative of that
description. The plot Is u good one and
keeps up well, and the characters ara
fully developed. The transitions pre-
vent interest from tagging, and are not
so sensational rs 10 tall TO the level of
the "clap- trap - But u little too much
dialogue abounds, the design not sufli-
GENTLY disclosing itself by action.
Mr.. Mobiles, rs the leading character,
does SONS clever and graceful acting;
and there seems 3 charm about his look
and manner. His voice, however, is
little weak and bis utterauce spatchy
towards the end of his sentences. He
combines splendid managerial ability
with that of play wright and actor; and
il can be seen throughout that careful
and skilliul hand guides the general ar
engagements and fashions the details.
The company was very strong and
evenly DhthHttus
Miss Lizzie Lambert made a sweet and
tender Mabel. both rs mother and duugh-
ter, especially the latter, where her gen.
tleness had more display.
Misses Davenport and Barden, as re-
spectively Mrs. Stockup and Aurein,
her daughter, were effective il their

mensely. Mr.. Howard divided the
hunors with him IN rendering old Grimes,
the postmaster, most interesting aud
curious type of character. All the other
roles were fully sustained. and such au
all round good troupe is pleasing and re-
ceives, az last evening, appreciative
patronage.
The orchestra executed some excellent
pieces, particularly 1.-The Forge III the
Forest, which was loudly applauded.
At the matinee this afternoon From
Sire TO Son. will occupy the boards
again. and tonight will be performed
play OF whose title it is said:
Tabled in mythology and fame,
From its own ashes doth orr symbol rise.
Drawing a second decade Of fame;
Lo! see, The Phoenix never dies
"The PhGnix'' Is drama that not
only pleases the masses, but is full OF
pith and point for tho student OF Ameri-
can humor. The seedy Bohemian with
his bIood-curdling romance for the
Weekly Chnmbermaid' Own Is excru-
ciatingly funny. Mr.. Mobiles, the
author OF the play, has been literally
endowed by nature with q fund of min
gled humor and pathos admirably suited
20 the requirements OF the leading role.

TOPEKA, KAN. Nov. 2s.-Au inter-
esting complication has arisen In con-
nection with the election OF United
States senator to succeed Senator In
gals. and If the plan of action proposed
by the Republicans is successfully car
ried out ii would seem that the senator
may succeed himself. An application
has been made to the supreme court to
compel the state board of cauyassers to
give certificates of election to nineteen
delegates. which were elected under the
provision of the constitution, which says
that each county that has go votes is
entitled 10 a representative. The con-
siitution at the same time limits the
humber of members to l25, so that in
order to seat the nineteen delegates
from scarcely settled counties II would
be necessary to drop au equal number of
menbers-elect from the more pOpulous
counties. II the court issues q maudamus
and the nineteen delegates are seated
they will vote for Ingalls,, as they are so
Pledged, which would give him eighty

Editor Gazette.
In your edition of to-day I see an ar
ticle on "Ramie. which contains an
extract OF the last report OF the United
States department OF agriculture on
fibrous plants. AS said report, In my
opinion, Is crowded with mistakes and
erroneous statements, the extract, of
course, Ia far away from being reliable,
and the department of agriculture once
more has proven to be perfectly ignorant
Of many things that are going on in some
Southern states Of the Union, which, IN
this respect, is the natural consequence
OF turning its eyes more to French than
to American doirg5. Having some
ramie stalks of Texas growth on hand :,
also ribbons prepared By American ma-
cbinery, and collection of samples of
ramie fabrics of every description, 1
kindly request any citizen OF this COM
munity interested in this matter to have
a sight at them at the Ellis hotel, where
l can be seen every night from to 10
CLOCK.
The ramie question. in regard to cul-
ture and preparing the ibers for manu-
facture. has long since been solved in the
United States, in spite of ;he inactivity
of its department of agriculture. and
there can be no doubt but that Amerca an
genius in few weeks viii! show marks of
lite superiority over French an English
ingenuity at the public competition of
some eight decortiting machines, which
will take place at the MotzorougO, state
Of Vera Cruz, vast ramie plantations of
the Mexican ramie company, which has
its domicile at the City of Mexico, with
$500, 900 capital, and is presided over by
the Minister de Fomento Don Carlos
Pacheco. a man of rare energy and in
tellectual capacities.
The culture of fibrous plants-to be
sure that of ramie-in our beloved South
has become burning question. as our
neighbors in Mexico aud Venezuela have
already started TO outerow us in Ameri-
can and European markets, and there
being this dangerous delay: that we will
probably for long time keep on import
ing tbers for our home industry,
amounting TO $40 900, 900 annually,
while by some efforts we would be en-
abled not only to provide for our own
wants. but also TO export such goods Ia
relative short time for hundreds of mil
lions of dollars to the unlimited Eu-
ropean markets.
Considering the Importance OF the cul-
ture and industry Of vegetables fbers in
Texas, declare myself ready and dis
posed TO teach the progressive people of
Fort Worth some lessons in this respect
at the halls of the board Of trade, if the
directors OF that enlightened body should
be willing TO put their rooms at my dis
posal for Que evening and tender an Of
fetal invitation to the citizens of the city
and Its suburbs. Respectfully,

S. Is, 45,) referring to the act of Con-
gress excluding polygamists and big
amists from voting or holding office,
the Court, speaking by MIR. Justice
Matthews, said: ''Certainly no leg.
islation can be supposed more whole
some and necessary in the founding
of a free, self-governing commonwealth
fit to take rank as one of the co-ordi-
nate States of the Union, than that
which seeks to establish it on the
basis of the idea of the family, as con
sisting in and springing from the
union for life of one man and one
woman in the holy estate of matri-
monY; the sure foundation of all that
is stable and noble in our civilization;
the best guaranty of that reyerent
morality which is the source of all
benefcent progress in social and
political improvement. And to this
end no means are more directly and
immediately suitable than those pro
vided by this act, which endeavors to
withdraw all political influence from
those who are practically hostile to
its attainment"
1t is assumed BY counsel of the
petitioner that because no mode of
worship can be established or religious
tenets enforced in this country, there
fore any form of worship may be fol.
lowed, and any tenets, however de-
structive of society, may be held and
advocated, if asserted to be part Of
the religious doctrines of those advo-
eating and practicing them. Nothing
is further from the truth. Whilst
legislation for the establishment of
religion is forbidden, and its free ex-
ercise permitted, it does not follow
that everything which may be so call |
ed can be tolerated. Crime is not the
less odious because sanctioned by
what any particular sect may desig-
nate as religion.
1t only remains to refer to the laws
which authorized the Legislation of |
the Territory of Idaho to prescribe
the qualifications of voters and the
oath they were required to take. The
Revised Statutes provide that "the
legislative power of every Territory
shall extend to all rightful subjects of
legislation not inconsistent with the
Constitution and laws of the United
States. But no law shall be passed /
interfering with the primary disposal /
of soil; no tax shall be imposed upon
the property Of the United States;
nor shall the lands or other property
of non-residents be taxed higher than
the lands or other property of resi-
dents"
THE RESTRICTION OF SUFFRAGE.
Under this general authority it
would seem that the Territorial legis-
lature was authorized to prescribe
any qualifications for voters caIcula-
ted to secure obedience to its laws.
But, in addition to the above law, sec
tion 1859 of the Revised Statutes pro
yides that "every citizen above the
age of p, including persons who have
legally declared their intention to be-
come citizens in any Territory here
after organized. and who are actual
residents of such Territory at time Of
the organization thereof, shall be en-
titled to vote at the first election in

A CHICKENS DEVOTION.
The Tragic End of Faithful HoudaI
Loyal Unto Death.

The Tragic End Of . Faithful Houdan-
Loyal Unto Death.
Many time has the f1ckleness Of hui
man nature been put to the blush by
the undying loyalty of a dog or horse.
But rarely has it occurred, we are sure,
that a chicken has found itself unable
to live without It's master and has de-
termined to commit suicide rather than
live in loneliness. A correspondent of
La Nature, French scientific journal,
tell the following tragic story of a
chicken of the Houdan variety of
which his brother had made pet. He
says:
Every morning in coming out of the
house the young man brought with him
handful OF crumbs CT of grain or of
something else that chickens like, and
little by little his Houdan pet acquired
the habit of following him about the
place. In grove near the house there
was a bench. When the young man
reached this bench he invariably seated
himself, and the fowl, jumping up by
his side, pecked the food from his hand
and was petted by being stroked on the
head and back.
This had gone on for quite long
time when the young man left home tc
go to college. For the first day or two
the chicken seemed not to be incon.
solable over the loss of it's friend, but
took it's food with the rest. After few
days, however, the fowl seemed to be-
come aware that its friend was not com
ing back, and it was seized all at once
with an unconquerable melancholy. Il
fingered morning after morning under
the windows of the house as if waiting
for its master to come out
FINALLY 1t betook itself to the bench
where its master had been accustomed
to feed it, and there remained. its head
under its wing, almost potionless, day
and night It was useless to try to
tempt it with food; the chicken refused
to look up when the most tempting hand
fuls Of grain or dough were thrown down
before 1t. It's eyelids were closed, and
its intention to die Of hunger was SC
evident that it was deemed merciful to
kill it."

VELOCITY OF ELECTRICITY.
Wonderful Invention Made by Wheat
stone, the Electrician.

A Wonderful Invention Made by Wheat
stone, the Electrician.
Wheatstone, the electrician, is the
inventor of the mode whereby the ve-
locity of electricity is ascertained. In
perfectiDg this wonderful invention he
took q Leyden jar and connected it with
wires by means of two rods, one with
the outer and the other with the inner
coating of the jar. Insulated conductors
were next provided, in shape of two
long bent wires. The opposite ends of
the rods from that in connection with
the inner and outer coating of the Jar,
were placed near the ends of the bent
wires which were to answer in place of
insulated conductors. He gave to each
of these conductors length of four.
hundred and two meters. This finished
it was plain that the current m(ist pass
through these conductors from positive
to negative poles OF the circuit, or vice
versa. A rotating mirror was next
brought on the scene by this lightning
tanner and placed behind the apparatus
as above outlined.
! When the current was turned on and
passing through the apparatus, sparks
were visible from three different points,
viz, between the ends of the conduct,
ors, between the rods running from the
| jar, and also between the ends OF the
conductors themselves, where separate
and distinct shower of sparks were to
be seen. When the rotating mirror
turned on its axis, the sparks appeared
as three separate circular lines, parallel
to each other; when it was left sta
tionafy the reflections showed only "a
points of light Speaking of this, Mr..
Wheatstone says: 'If electricity re-
quired no time to pass from one point
to another, the lines in the moving
mirror would appear and disappear sim
ultaneously; but being continuous, an
appreciable space of time must elapse
for their movement This time ia
plainly calculable, when the rate OF ro-
tation Of the mirror and duration of the
sparks ID known / have found that
electricity travels through 4o2 meters
OF copper wire in ZOO, 0o0 s6s part of a
second, and would, therefore, travel
through 455,133 kilometers Of copper
wire in one second."-St Louis Re-

Ugly Cape. and Htdeou, Sleeves.

Capes, capes everywhere. They are
more in favor than ever, strange to say,
for at best they are ugly enough. Some
have great ruffles which flap and flop
and give the wearer most grotesque
appearance. The triple cape of cloth,
with the high collar. is most effective.
The accordion-plaited cape is fancy
which will pass into history as did its
predecessor, the futed skirt The capes
of lace and ribbons are pretty trifies for
summer evening wear. In place of the
long fringes worn over q plain skirt
this past season, narrow ribbons are
now worn depending from the waist
The effect is rather pretty, especially If
the ribbons be of two or three differ
ent shades. Sleeves grow larger and
proportionately more hideous. Walk
