evening, and who propose to run it through the

moniOus, the audience at the same time walt for

The Christmas spectacle that the Alcszar man
agement have selected TO please their patrons
during the festival week, Is destined, we should
judge, from the crowded appearance of the
auditorium OF that theater last evening, to fully
meet the most sangulne expectations. We do
not say there is anything particularly new in
the stage effects, Is there anything
novel in the business or text; but 1t IS
fresh, ylvaclous and breezy all through
Mainnall, COOl er, Holland, Nick Long (with his
everlasting broken Euglish), Mills, Trader. Her.
nance and l.. X. Stockwell have important
parts, and it is but justice 10 them 10 say that
they e&erted themselves to TIE utmost 10 ill
their several requirements. The scenery Is very
pretty in this spectacle, and the whole en-
tourage shows that the Alcazar management
have exerted themselves to the uItermost TO
meet their patrons at this season with the best
they had at command.

Frightened ProspeCts.

The weekly weather and crop bullet
in Of the South Carolina weather SER
vice, in cooperation with the United
States Signal Service. for the week end
ing Saturday, is as follows, aud is very
encouraging to farmers:
The total amount of rainfall during
the past week was apparently about the
normal, and fairly well distributed.
Thg temperature was about the aver
age. The amount Of sunshine was also
about the average, all Q$twhich was
very beneficial to the growing crops.
The cotton crop has greatly improved
but with this improvement it is not an
average crop, for in some sections grass
still holds the mastery, thereby reduc-
ing the average, but eve with this
drawback the prospect for a fair crop
has greatly frightened.
The corn crop is at least 20 per cent
better than that OF last year.
The melon crop is in fine condition
and the yield promises to be full aver
age.
The rice crop is in a healthy condi-
ton and growing rapidly.
There have been thunderstorms and
hail in some sections, but no injury to
the growing crops is reported.

train on the Milwaukee road carried,
among other passengers, Mrs. Maggie
McVickers, who will tomorrow at
Rochester, MINI, be married to one OF
the weaithiest merchants of that CITY,
Mr.. Arthur Morton. In 1872 Arthur
Morton and Miss Hartley lived on the
north side in this city and were engaged
Their parents, however, considered
them too young to marry. 1t was agreed
that young Morton should go West and
If at the end of three years he was able
to support a wife the union should re-
cefye parental sanction. In the mean
time the two lovers were not to CORE
pond for two years.
two years worked hard to provide a
home for the woman he loved. He
prospered fairly we'll. He then wrote to
Miss Hartley, informing her of his pr o.
poets, and Offering his hand. At that
time Miss Hartley lived in Milwaukee,
which fact Morton knew, but IN direct
ing the letter, through habit, wrote
Chicogo instead of Milwaukee. The
young lady, still faithful, waited long
for the letter, bu. the end Of third
year became discouraged. She yielded
to the opportunities of MI. John Nc.
VickerS, and, in 1875 married him.
In the meantime Merton waited for
a reply to his letter and, as one never
came, he accepted it as a fact that ne
had been rejected. He did not pine
away even after the marriage of Miss.
Hartley. About six months after Miss
Hartley became Mrs. McVickers she re.
ceived through the dead letter office the
letter written two years before by Nor
ton In spite Of the fact that she was q
wife she wrote to her first love, telling
OF h mistake which had separated
them, and assuring him that while she
should be Il faithful wife, her life would
have been pleasanter had she received
the letter in time. Three years ago Mr..
Mcvickers died in this city, where he
had lived for ten year, and about a year
ago Mr.. Morton and Mrs. MCVickers
began II correspondence. The romance
ends in the wedding which had been
postponed for nearly twenty years.
