 Keene as aLouis XI."

Thomas Keene, since the death of Booth and Barrett the greatest tragedian on the American stage, began a week s engagement at the new California Theater few nights ago in San Francisco. We acknowl- edge the receipt from Mr. Keene's press agent of number of press notices from the San Francisco newspapers. The Evening Call speaks of MT. Keene's appearance and presentation of Louis XI as fol lows:
 Thomas Kenne was welcomed back to San Francisco last night by a large and appreciative audience, which almost filled the California Theater. Hearty applause was given the actor on his first appear ance and at the end of the third act determined effort was made to in- duce him to break forth into a speech, but Mir. Keene modesly re- fused to comply.
 The play was Louis XI."
 There are few livin ng actors who can play the crafty, hypocritical French King as Keene can. Two of the greatest are Irving and Novelli. The former is only known slightly in San Francisco, the latter not at all, and were these actors interpreta- tions familiar here the Louis KIP that Keen presented last night could we'll challenge comparison with them.
 Mr. Keene is one of four splendid attractions next month at the Pine Bluff Opera-house.

Greenup, and many visit it during the
overgrown with weeds and no flowers
are near it would seem that the visitors
are attracted more through curiosity
than to do honor to the dead.
The grave of Thomas Lincoln was
left unmarked from the time Of his
death in 1851 until 1880. After Abra-
ham Lincoln was elected president he
visited his fathers grave and left word
to have estimates sent him of the cost
of a tombstone, but the war coming on
it was never attended to. Thus rested
the ashes of the pioneer, almost for
gotten in the excitement of the times
when his only son was acquiring the
height Of his fame, until George b.
Balch, local poet Of no mean talent,
wrote the following poem on THE
Grave of the Father Of Abraham
Lincoln:
In a low sweet vale of murmuring
rill, q.
The pioneers ashes are sleeping;
Where the cold marble shafts so lonely
and still,
In silence their vigils are keeping.
On their sad, lonely faces are words of
fame,
But none of them speak of his glory;
When the pioneer died, his name and
his age,
No monument whispered the story.
No mystic, no ivy, nor hyacinth blows
Ger the lonely place where they laid
him;
No cedar, nor holly, nor almond tree
grows
Near the plebeian's grave ID shade
him.
Sweet evergreens wave over many
grave,
Ger some bows the sad weeping will
low;
But no willow trees bow, nor ever
green's wave,
Where the pioneer sleeps on his pill
low.
While some are inhumed with the hon
or of state
And placer Beneath temples to mol
der,
The grave Of the father of Lincoln the
Great
y known by hillock and bowlder.
Let him take mig long sleep and quietly
rest.
