 Signor PerGgini, whose real name is John Chatterton, has been with the company for three weeks. He took the place of Perry Averill. Miss Russell knew Perugini but slightly before he joined the company. Perugini's part is that of Paul Chcos, the ardent lover of Miss Russell, who is Rosa, the wealthy heiress of a tobacco planter.
 They are married regularly every night on the stage. and the opera deals with the tribulations of the husband who is made the victim of a designing governor.
 Lovers and Of the Stage.

Popular English Breed.

some of the characteristics OF a Very
Popular English Breed.
This breed of fowls is older even
than the English nation, by whom il
IS considered the ideal table fowl. In
fact. the breed is SO popular in that
country that it is generally regarded
as an English breed of fowl. There
are four varieties of the Dorkings, viz. /:
Gray, silver gray, white and cuckoo
The cocks OF the gray variety have
either a pure black or slightly notified
breast, the neck and back being white,
striped with black, and the wings
nearly white crossed by well-defined
black bar. The silver grays are always
alike Ia color, the male having a black
breast, white wings crossed by n black
bar and black tail. The head, neck
and back are pure silvery white, with
out sign OF yellow or straw color.
The white Dorking Is not quite so
large as the other varieties which il Is
considered 70 surpass In symmetry. It's
plumage Is pure white and IL possesses
what is known as rose comb" the
others having a somewhat larger sin

gle combs The cuckoo Dorkings have
peculiar plumage, consisting of a
marking of bars or pencilings of dark
blue gray on ground OF lighter gray.
In size IL is slightly larger than the
white, but smaller than the other varie-
ties.
Dorsings have fun broad breasts,
broad backs. short legs and are rather
short in the neck. They have five toes
on each foot. The male in good con-
dition will weigh twelve pounds and
the hen nine pounds. They are fair
layers, good mothers, mature early and
grow rapidly. The great objection is
the delicacy OF the young birds, which
renders raising them difficult. The
climate, or the soil, or both, In many
parts OF the United States does not
seem To agree with them. This may,
however, be due TO too much inbreed-
ing. as fresh blood is difficult TO pro-
cure.
Dorloings can only be successfully
raised on a dry soil, dampness being
peculiarly fatal 70 them. They also
require a wide range. The Dorlsing is
