The census man who was assigned the
enumeration of the Sea island coast of
South Carolina made a remarkable dis
covery. Kiawah island, some miles down
the coast, is owned by two of the families
of ante-bellum Sea island barons The
enumeration, TO his surprise, found there a
black colony Of about one hundred and
fifty souls, and struck region. the only
one in the world, in which all the inhabi-

read and write. Every child of suitable

JOHN DILLON.
Another good audience greeted John
Dillon at the Crawford Grand last night.
Much was expected from his new play,
"a Colossal Liar" which had the ten
dency of drawing out the usual number of
first-nighters The star and company
were on their metal and the performance
moved without a hitch to mar the good
Impression.
The play has little plot. yet enough to
chain together the many funny incidents
and situations with which the comedy
abounds. Like others of its school it seeks
20 amuse rather than instruct. The char
acters in "a Colossal Liari' are most clev-
erly drawn and are distinct types that we
frequently meet in our present day
life We therefore easily recognize
what seems to us old acquaintance and
heartily appreciate their humorous weak
nesses. The many complications and
ludicrious situations of the play are
caused by the disputed inheritance of the
title of an English lordship. Mr.. Dillon
as Col. Archibald Hotspur Everbroke with
title of Lord Backstairs "a colossal liar
was indascribably funny. In the ex-
hero Of the Zulu wars Mr.. Dillon has a
character that admits of ample scope to
his powers as a comedian, although the
role is entirely different to what we have
been accustomed to associate Mr.. Dillon
with. 1t is safe to say that all who
witnessed last nights performance were
highly pleased. The support was
competent throughout. Arda Lacroix

Philadelphia Times, Washington Letter.
The attack which certain New York
Democratic newspapers are making upon
Senator Quay is evidently inspired by a
desire to shake him from Republican
leadership. Not from any love Of Re-
publicanism, but because they fear him
and know that his leadership means
their defeat. But Mr.. Plat is giving the
New York Democrats all they can han.
die with the Fassett Investigating Com
miittee. The Democrats struck Mt Plat
and he is striking back. Quay would do
the same if he had q Democratic city to
investigate. Pennsylvania Republicans
value Quay and recognize his services to
the party. They have nothing against
him. The alleged opposition will mele-
ly increase the Republican majority by
bringing out a full vote.

tory Of the past administration and the

Cleveland had very little support In his

a Ridiculous Story.

During the debate in Congress the
other day, Mr.. Spiuola (Democrat), oil
New York, read from the New York
Ersniny Post the infamous Islander upon
Senator Quay, in which it was charged
that while Treasurer OF the State OF Penn.
sylyania he had embezzled a large
amount Of money. Mr.. Spinola confessed
that he did not endorse the publication.
He was simply trying to gain a party
advantage.
Mr.. Darlington, OF Pennsylvania, in
reply to Mr.. Gpinola, spoke from author
ity, and in emphatic terms denounced
the story as totally untrue. lie said:
~ do not take very much interest in
the kind OF discussion that We have had
here lately on this bill, but, as m act Of
justice to the Chairman Of the Republi.
can National Committee, l wish to make
a brief statement. Mr.. Quay, the gentle
man TO whom ailusion has been nude
here, was State Treasurer OF Pennsyl-
vania, and l was upon his bond for the
sum Of $4,000. When he was elected
Senator he resigned the office Of State
Treasurer. There was no deialcation
nor anything Of the kind. I never was
called upon as bondsman to pay 4 dollar.
l never heard OF this ridiculous story
until to-day, and l here pronounce it
false in every particular SO far as Mr..
>tuay's connection with the State OF
Pennsylvania as State Treasurer is con-
cerned."
We commend this statement to our
Democratic friends who are 60 liberal
