"Romeo and Juliet


Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet" was sung
by the Abbott Opera Company to a good
audience at the National on Saturday after
noon. As is well known Shakespeare's
tragedy forms the basis upon which the
opera is written.
The part of Juliet was sung by Miss Alb
bolt, and her graceful rendering of the
music proved the feature of the afternoon.
The climax OF her work was the final num-
ber of the fourth act, as she was about to
swallow the poison. Mlichelena as
Romeo wss in excellent voice, receiving
several encores.
Mr. Pruette's 4Hercutio was admirably
sung, and Messrs. Broderick and Allen
made the most of their parts. Miss AMMAN
dale, whose illness has seriously interrupted
her work this week, appeared as StetanO,
and was admired as usual.
Musically and artisticallY, this last sea-
son has been the most successful which the
Abbott Company has ever had here, and
the good esteem In which its accomplished
members have always been held by our
citizens has assuredly been confirmed.
The engagement was brought to a close
last evening, when "The Mikadon was sung
to crowded audience. Miss Abbott was
the Yum Yum.
"Mr. Barnes of New York.
The New National Theatre VIII present
this week what has proven the past three
weeks in New York city, the successful
novelty of the season. According to the
Brooklyn Times Barnes pleases the multi
tude on account of its contemporaneity.
His counterpart can be picked out of any
audience in America. AS a play, it ap-
peals to the most hurried consideration; 1t
does not call for an effort of appreciation.
Its delights are as immediate as those of
apopular song. In all of these most desir-
able characteristics, it is but the novel
reproduced in dramatic form. Broadly
speaking, there are two classes of plays,
just as there are two classes of novels, the
amusing and the instructive. We go to
Rider Haggard and to Charles Hoyt very
much as we pick up a paper-covered book
in railway train. Miss Emily Rigl was
ideally good as Marina. There are few
actresses who could compass the range re
quired in the character of Marina Pd0ld,
and who could invest the character with
the grace of carriage, and the truthful
coloring of conflicting emotion that mark
Miss Rigl's work. Bob llilliard was aC his
best as the insouciant Barnes, and for eX.
cellent reasons.

Our Raleigh Letter. sss~.

RALEIGH, Nov. 17.--Business
here now is very brisk, money
,seo6ss plentiful, crops have been
good, and farmers are getting
in much better condition. While
there has been, during the year,
the usual amount of mortgages
made, in the county, for sup
plies to run the farms, yet the
news from all parts of the coun-
ty, is that farmers are generally
paying up very promptly, and
rapidly getting out of debt. This
is certainly a most desirable
thing; for the farmers have been
in deplorable condition.
Large amounts of cotton have
been brought here the past week,
Notwithstanding the fall in
prices. Thursday morning, the
buyers awaited dispatches, be-
fore buying. The financial
crash in England seems in no
better plight; and consequent
on the money panic there, many
failures are reported in this
country; notably that of the
North River Bank. Cotton sold
from 0 to ct, the latter figure
being the highest, with but lit
tie prospect of its being better
until next spring. 1t does not
seem likely that the financial
crash will extend here. The en-.
tire business here is done through
the two National Banks which
are perfectly sound, well man.
aged, and command the entire
confidence of the people.
There has been but little to-
bacco coming in. The sales are
short and quick, and seem very
small affairs compared with
sales at Durham. Indeed, as TO
size, there is no comparison at
all. Yet prices rule very high,
and the few planters who had
tobacco on sale, were more than
pleased with the prices realized.
blast Thursday four white men,
Sam Daniel, 10. Martin, 10.
Davis and Jim Jones, were COM
mitted to jail by the magistrates,
Of Wake Forest, for the robbery
Of Mr.. s. r. Gill, near Falls Of
the Neuse. Mr.. Gill is Familiarity
known as ST or Siah Gill, an
old man, who is very deaf.
They entered his house for the
purpose of robbery, and choked
him until they were certain he
was dead. But Mr.. Gill played
'possum completely on his
would-be murderers, and while
feigning TO be dead, was really
watching their operations, and
recognized all four of them,
and had them Immediately ar
rested, and they are now in Jail
awaiting trial at January court.
They took $685. 90 from him.

HE SURPRISED ELIZA.
He Was Grees I'd with a Little Surprise
Himself.

He Was Greet ID with Little Surprise
Himself.
John Roberts, of North East, is a
farmer well enough to do, but he had
always been eccentric about his clothes.
Until a week or so ago h. had not been
known to buy new suit Of clothes for
years. The ones he wore had been so
often patched and repatChed thst no bit
of the original warp and wool was visi-
Bile This personal slovenliness on the
part of her husband was a source of con-
slant annoyance to Mrs. Roberts. who is
a woman OF exceptional neatness She
long ago became so ash lmed of his ap-
pearance that she would no longer &C
company him to town to do her trading.
This singular characteristic of the farmer
was not owing to penuriousness, for he
is a liberal man in all his dealings.
A few days ago he went to town to do
"a little trading. and to the utter aston
ishment of the town he purchased a new
suit of clothes for himself His new
clothes were done up in a package, and
he placed the package on the wagon seat
beside him when he started home that
night. 1t was dark night Farmer
Roberts had got half way home when a
brilliant idea struck him He stopped
his horse on a bridge where the road
crosses the east branch
I'm do it, by gum he said I'm do
it and surprise Eliza,'
ThereupOn the farmer rose up i'm the
wagon and began to Ia ze off the patched
and repatched clothes he had worn so
long. AS he removed garment he
tossed it into the creek until he had
tossed them all in and had nothing on
but his shirt.
Great apple sassr" he exclaimed: but
won't Eliza be u'prise r.
Then Farmer Roberts reached for the
package that had his new clothes in [.
wasn't on the seat Farmer Roberts got
down and reached under the seat. The
package wasn't there. Then he felt all
over tie bottom of the wagon. The
package wasn't auywher on the bottom.
Farmer Roberts rose up in the wagon
and looked back along the pitch dark
road.
Then he climbed back in his seat, and
away the horses went for home. The
night was chilly, and there was three
miles to 60 When Farmer Roberts
reached home and climbed out of his
wagon he paused.
"The hull -idee didn't work." said he,
"but I'll bet nine do lars that surprise

he got up i'll the NOR hing and went out

A Chapter on Medicine.

Formerly it was considered
that the m ore nauseous the
draught, the worse it tasted, and
the worse it smelled, the better
1t was as a medicine. Dried
toads, pnlverized to a powder,
were long the popular pauacea
for fevers. Another was a live
mole baked in an oven. Snakes
are still given by the Chinese.
The old adage, "the hair of the
dog is good for the bite" was
often construed literally, great
ly, we fancy, to the patients
digust. The idea was that sick
ness was a distinct something
produced by witches, and ii
took something terrible to drive
him away. Even in our fathers
day, what terrible doses they
used to give of julap and Gallo.
mel, and how they used to pop
out the lancet on all occasions
and pop it into everybody pref
ty nearly. The idea still holds
in the heads OF some people
that medicine is mostly poison.
os what is the same thing, in
order to be efficacious, it ought
to be poison So far is this
from the facts, that the best
medical authority now pre-
scilbes the simplest remedies.
L. Is the peculiar merit of Reds
German Cough and Kidney
Cure that it contains no poisons
whatever. 1t is absolutely in.
nocuous, and yetit is so certain
that 1t will not only cure the
worst cold, but all diseases arls-
ing from u cold Of any nature
whatever. The dose can be
graduated to the patient and to
the severity of the stack. 1t
actr at once, so that when a
child is suffering in the agonies
OF the Group, it can be given the
Cure until relieved, and when
this is once effected. there is no
danger Of a return of tee malady
that night.
