The Reason Of Ii.

Messrs. Watson and Gibson, the brok-
ers, in a circular, lately issued, give their
version of the reason Of the importation
OF gold into this country and in which we
fear there is considerable truth. Bryan
and his followers are no doubt at the
bottom OF the Importation OF gold but
certainly not in the way they wish to
make out but quite the contrary.
The Importation is caused by some
thing similar to merchants closing
out sale-when to get rid OF his goods,
owing TO bad times, the merchant in
order to settle with his creditors, is
Obliged to sell at a sacrifice. The circu-
lar says:
AS an example OF suberb effrontery or
dense ignorance, We commend the follow
ing extract Of one OF Mr.. Bryan sspeeches
last night: They tell III that the election
OF the Chicago ticket will drive gold from

The Indian Princess
She Appeared at the
Opera House Last
Evening
To n Delighted Audience.
Around the Metropolis or the
Great Copper Country.

The audience that gathered at the
Opera House last evening was not nearly
as large as the Johnson.Smily combina-
ton merited.
Ii is pretty generally believed that IL is
well nigh impossible for any one person,
or even two, TO amuse an audience for
the entire evening, but the Johnson
Smily combination did it and did it well.
The dramatic portion of the entertain
ment was given by Miss L. Pauline John
son, or Tekahionwake, the Indian prin-
cess, and all her selections were original
and told OF some peculiar traits of char
acter OF the Indian. "0jisdoh," recount
ing an incident of the wars between the
Mohawks and Hurons, and the Cree
maiden's appeal in "The Cattle Thief
were very well rendered. His Sisters
Son." and THE White Wampum," were
very pathetic and touched the heart of
every one present.
MIR. Smily's humorous sketches kept
the audience in constant uproar from
beginning TO end and he was repeatedly
encored. "Music la Three Flats" was
fine, and The Wooden Arm" rendered
as an encore, brought down the house.
The Slumberous Citizen and the Mid
summer Fly" piece of acting without
a word spoken, was something entirely
out OF the ordinary. HIS other selections
we're all well received.
The combination will appear at Lake
Linden this evening and people OF that
