zone Of my bo5hoed rscollections
aid Gen. Wade Hampton "refers to
Henry Clay. He ~ ! freqtsnt visitor
ct nv fathers houss II South Carollna.
Both Clay and my father ware ardent
whist players, and nothing Was more g
their minds than the collection Of brace
Of gentlemen equally addicted 70 Whist,
and then the quartet would play for hours-
While the name Of whist may servo to
imply ! game whore silence reigned,
my father and Clay didn't play whist that
way. They exulted audibly over = sue
cess, and did not hesitate when they were
playing partners to violently point out
mistakes the other had made, and attrib-
uted defeat to the others Ignorance and
utter lack Of natural intelligence. In
deed on occasions particularly trying
they were even known to apply hard
names to one another. This they did in
no slanderous spirit, but to brighten up
and sharpen the wits Of the other to the
improvement of his play. Az they we're
sitting down to game as partners one
owning. Clay remarked:
It's great outrage the way we talk
to each other, and my idea now at the out
set. is for each of US to pat up $50 to be
long to the one who is first called hard
names by the other. If you assail me
the money il mine; if forget myself,
you take it,
my father readily agreed. he felt in
q mild, agreeable mood. he was conf
dent he would never again be prey to
the slightest impulse to speak harshly to
his dear friend Clay. And besides it was
his recollection that Clay was the man
who ragged and did the loud talking. 80
my father cheerfully placed the 800 on
top Of Clay's. He thought it would be 5
good lesson to the Blue Grass orator tc
lose it. AS they proceeded with the
game Clay made some excessively thick
headed and ill-advlsed plays. He led
the wrong cards; he trumped the wrong
tricks; he did everything idiotic in whist
that he we'll could. Ny fathers blood
began to boil. As he and Clay lost game
after game his wrath ran higher and
higher. Still he bit his lips and suffered
in silence. 1t went on for hours, until
Clay made some play of GROWING imbe |
cility which lost him and my father the
eleventh game. Flesh and blood could
stand it no more. NV father slernly
pushed the $40 over to Clay.
"'Why,' said Clay, opening his gray
eyes with look of innocence and amaze
,nent, why do you do that9 You haven't
said a word
"No,' retorted my father, 'but I'm go
ing to tell you. sir, that you are the most
AFFECT idiot, the most boundless imbecile
that ever dealt hand at whist. Yes, sir |
I repeat it, you are the fool ever
met in my life.'"

Her Daughters Husband.

A traveller saw q woman take 4 man
by the collar, yank him up the steps into
railroad Car, .jamb him down into hot
seat near the stove, pile up Yslise and
two big brown baskets with loose covers
and long handles at his feet and say:
snow sit thele until l help Mary Jane
on the Car, and don't move till l come
back.
When the woman reached the door the
traveller said to her:
Is that man your husband9"
"N-a-w!' roared the woman. She's
my daughters husband, and she hasn't
spirit enough to say her soul is her own. "

Grand Opera House.

A very large audience witnessed the performance of "Alvin Joslin' by Charles l.. Davis last evening, and it is doubtful if it's welcome will ever wear out, so popular is the performance. While the play is essentially a rural comedy on the lines of the 'Old Home stead 1t is by no means copy of that well-known drama, for HAlvin Joslin" was produced and had made fortune long before the other play had ever seen the light. Besides, Alvin Joslin" oom- pines sensatiopalism with comedy, and appeals to all classes alike, and is not altogether rural comedy, for most of it's scenes are laid in New York, with "Uncle Alvin" as the central figure. To properly produce the various scenes of the play a large amount of special scenery is carried by the company, showing the East river by moonlight with the Brooklyn bridge and it's ma- iestic proportions illuminated with it's hundreds of lights, the Five Points, the BoweTy aud other scenes made familiar by their reputation. MT. Davis has given special attention to the correct ness and realism of these scenes, every act has been painted under his personal supervision at his Alvin theaer in Pitts burg. ''Alvin JoslinH is full of laugh ter. The supporting company is a capable one, and first-class, enter taining performance in every respect is promised.
 There will be grand special holiday matinee to-day at ? D. m., and also a performance in the evening, as well as two performances tomorrow. Those desiring tickets for to-day's perform ance should obtain them at once.
 Jacques Kruger, Carrie Sweeney, Rose Sutherland, Harry Crandall, Charles T. Aldrieh and lot of others will present the jolly comedy-faree, Gloss and Hoss, the last three nights. The piece has been written up to date and all the latest music interpolated, so that it is now one of the most pleasing entertain- ments in existence. Everybody in the long cast does . speciality, and each vles with the others to make the biggest hit, a thing that cannot occur in company boasting a star, but which an audience never fails to appreciate. Thomas D. Daly, who is well known ill this city, is with the company.
 A special treat has been provided in the lecture hall annex at the Grand opera house this week. Charles Mack and his old-time Punch and Judy amuses all. The hall is open free to the patrons of the theater.

The Havoc Wrought by the Recent Severe
 Cold Snap.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Lake Como, Fla, Dec. 29., 1S94.-Per- haps g few lines from a New Haven citizen at this time may be of service to you. The orange crop, for the first time since 1886 was last night com pletely destroyed by frost, the ther- mometer dropping to 16 degrees above zero, an almost unprecedentedly low mark in this vicinity, and the fruit which yesterday was in remarkably fine condition is to-day absolutely worthless A few of the younger grow CTS have slight hopes of being able to save a few oranges, but in the estima- ton of the older, and more experienced growers, they are deluding themselves with false hopes, and the almost uni- versal opinion is that the entire crop is ruined. The loss to the growers and shippers cannot as yet be accurately estimated. and the loss to the various transportation companies, while not as large. will amount to many thousand dollars. The leaves of the orange tree are curled up and blackened by the frost, and look as if the groves had been swept by fire, and the fruit with which the trees were loaded, is frozen solid and hard as rock. Should there be no sudden rise of temperature for a day or two. thus giving the frozen fruit time to thaw gradually, it is bare- ly possible, although not probable, that a very small portion of the fruit may be saved, but in this case the fruit will command such a high price that people of moderate means will be obliged to deny themselves the luxury.
 Yours, etc, N. D. COE.,

The New Catholic Chapel on Lawrence
 Street.
 The St. Mary's R. c. chapel on Law renee street will at last be finished com pIetely. The regular pews have arrived and during the week will be put down and be ready for renting next Sunday. The total amount of expenses have been made out and were read to the people. The ground on which the chapel stands and the house on it cost 513, 900. The building of the chapel cost $5, 900, making the cost of the land and chapel SIS, 1000. Of this but $l ,000 has been contributed. There are, how ever, many persons who intend to con- tribute as soon us the pews are in and things are settled. The attendance at the chapel yesterday was very good and it is evident that two masse' are neees- sary. Whether or not there will be de- bends upon Rev. Dr. Higgins, the pro- yinoial of the order, who will visit here next week. Dr. Higgins decides upon the number of priests who will be in the parish and will also make some sug- gestions. He may also of1iciate at the services in the church soon. Many of the parishioners would be delighted to have him do so

poll,s wonderlnnd rheater.


 The great things promised for Girard Leon's wonderful singing donkey were more than realized yesterday at the Wonderland. The beast sings with ex- traordinary skill, carrying the air of several selections with as much musical correctness as Is shown by many human vocalists. It is not such singing as is sometimes done by dogs, which is noth- ing more or less than tuneful bowling, but not genuine singing; and therein lies the great novelty of the donkey's act. One can hardly realize that human ingenuity could develop such phenome- nal intelligence in the most stupid and stubborn of all domesticated animals, but seeing is believing.
