The Citizens Course of enteftainme nts
was opened Saturday night by the Remeu-
vi Grand Concert Co. The large hall was
full, 4S0 tickets being sold, and the con-
cert was in every respect an unqualified
success. The playing of Mr. Remenyi
was OF course the principal feature and it
was all and more than advertised and the
great audience applauded in a manner
that showed they thoroughly appreciated
it, He was repeatedly encored and once
called back the third time. The support
was fairly good. The singing of Mr.. Fes-
sender, the tenor, was more than good, it
was very fine, aud worthy of his great rep
utation as an artist in music. The manage
ers of the Course may we'll feel satisfied
with the result of their first entertain
ment. There was much question whether
so expensive course, bringing together
so many first class companies, could be
made to pay here. Many thought that
our people would not literally patronize a
course in which the single admission tick
cts must be placed at 50c., but the result
shows that there are more who are willing
to pay good price for really good en-
terta1nmant than those who will only pat
ronlze ones of low cost.
The next entertainment will be given on
Monday evening, Dec. 18th, by the Ariel
Thomas Combination. This is one of the
finest lady quartets in the country, and

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, favorite

its great success in the cure OF colds.

Railroad Horror Recalled.

A Suit for Damages Settled on the Out
side Deprives Lawyer of his Fee.
The terrible accident on the Vermont
Central Railroad at Hartford in February,
1887, is recalled by suit now pending in
the Superior Court and which has just
been referred to Ex-Governor Long as ref
cree, his decision to be final.
Henry w. Tewksbury was one of the
victims OF the accident, and soon after re-
tanned F. G. Manchester as counsel, who
sued the road. Later on Gen. Butler was
secured as senior counsel, and when the
case came on for trial the jury were sent
to Vermont for a view. On its return
the trial was about to be resumed when it
was discovered that the plaintiff had set
tied the case himself with the officials OF
the company. Gen. Butler got his lee,
but Mr.. Manchester found that he was
left out, and finding that he could not
persuade the plaintiff to pay him, he
brought suit to recover $500 for his SER
vices, the defendant being credited with
payment of $500 This case has now been
referred to Ex-Governor Long. Mr.. Man
chester has succeeded in getting the de-
PENDANT to testify, in answer to interroga-
tories, that he settled with the Vermont
Central for s20,0 O0.-Boston Journal, Nov.

ADVENTUROUS CROCODILES.

Curious Instances Of Their Being Seen
Long Distances from Home.
The denizens of the Cocos islands. in
the Indian ocean, were recently startled
by the appearance of huge crocodile
among them. The monster did a good
deal of damage before he was placed
hors de combat by the terrified islanders.
and his carcass was conveyed forthwith
to Mr.. Ross, the king Of the Cocos."
who. in the belief of the natives.
''knoweth all things" Mr.. Ross was
completely pux led, for such thing as
q crocodile has hitherto been unknown
In these islands, and as the nearest
land is Java, seven hundred miles dis
tant. the adventurous croc' must have
had good swim of it.
The conclusion arrived at is that tho
saurian must have voyaged from either
Java or the North Australian coast
likely enough the latter, as there are
goodly sized rivers there. down which
the crocodiles often float on logs and
heaps Of debris and get carried of to
sea. The incident has evoked an inter
esting communication from A. l.. Cald-
well, Of the A. S. Corps, Chatham, who
was quartered in Barbadoes in 1885 and
who relates that in the beginning Of
that year an alligator over fifteen feet
in length went ashore on that island.
A sergeant Of engineers and some
sappers shot it as it crawled ashore,
and it was exhibited for some time in
Bridgetown. The nea.est point this
alligator could have reached Barbados
from was the Orinoco, three hundred
miles off, but Mr.. Caldwell thinks this
impossible, as the set of the ocean cur
rents would have carried it much to the
westward of Barbados, If its starting
point had been the mouth of the Orin-
oco. He thinks it is much more prob
able that the alligator came from the
mouth of the Amazon or from the
Essequibo, some hundreds of miles
further to the east
In connection with this Barbados
alligator incident, remarks the Colonies
and India, it may be remembered that
DR.. Mitchell, of Trinidad, stated at the
time that he once saw an alligator on a
small log attacked by sharks in the
Gulf of Paria. In any case. the West
Indies for the present must play second
to the East Indies in the matter OF a
large swimming saurian. as the seven
hundred miles accomplished by the
crocodile recently KILLED on the Cocos
establishes a record. Chicago Herald

shows how the prayers Of two Eaen who

directly answered without a violation OF
the idea of proyidentiL care and super
vision. There were two army corps
opposed To each other IN the terrific
conflict Of ChAncellersvile- The CON-
manders of each were known TO be men
of prayer. They both besoaght the
Lord for success. always adding. no,

both were equally sincere.
The Union General suffered . dread
ful defeat and was made to pass
through the dark valley Of humiliation
like the prophet Of old-he wanted To
die.
The Confederate General had an
abundant success He overwhelmed
his enemy with numbers. when
triumphant shouts filed the air. but in
the dark wood that lay between the
two armies. when he was roconnoiter-
ing during the night. probably for re-
newal of the conhict at dawn. he fell
mortally wounded and was carried To
the rear soon to die. He had gained his
victory, his life had ended In the
coveted glory and his prayer was fully
answered
But the Union officer feeling The
Christening Hand did not give up the
prayer. From that time success set in
upon him and his cause, and he lived to
see the Union restored and the blot OF
human slavery wiped forever from
the land. So to the pleading soul it is
often darkest just before the dawn.
In some similar way the Lord
heareth and answereth every faithful
servant under His Providential Sky.
