the two least attractive OF the Old comedies
which have survived. Both have the same
schemes.
The literature of both is charming the
words full OF piquant delicacy, and artful
epgram, but the dramatic fabric is so un-
dIsguisedly artificial, that the people OF
the comedies stimulate little interest.
The players seemed depressed 10y their
burden. Miss Rehan, as the descending
Letltia, was hewitching and skiilful in her
comedy, she was equally skillrUl, but less
effective as Juliana, win whom few can
have sympathy. She did two Speciaities-

He Succeeded in Selling.

Yankee hustle has perhaps never been bet
ter exempiified than in the case of sewing
machine agent WHO'S exploiting the vicinity
Of Dover, Me. A week ago he tackled a
house in which lived an old bachelor who
hadn't sewing machine. The agent was
persistent and the bachelor obdurate, until
finally the latter said he positively wouldn't
bay machine unless a woman to run il was
also provided. Thea the agent hunted
around, and i'll six weeks had found an cl-
derly but excellent maiden lady who had
been waiting for some good man To spea K
out TO her. aud actually succeeded in getting
her married to the bachelor. Then he made
a sale of Il machine, though it might seem
that he ought to have given one to the bride
as a present. This story is vouched for by
the Maize papers.-Chicago Chronicle

in the South is capable tea Chers or their own
race. He called attention to the large
sums already appropriated by the govern
ment for educational purposes. He cited
as illustrations the Army and Nayg acad-
emiCS aud agricultural colleges.

ton were place on the ground OF theology
why did not the gentleman from Nebraska,
Mr.. Hainer, object to the payment of money
for cha plains at West Point and Anna polls,
or in the Army and Navy.
As the result OF an inquiry from Mr..
Hepburn as To why the a preparations Com

In the sundry civil bill, for the pain1
tenancc of Howard University, just prior
TO adjournment yesterday evening
The debate on this proposition, originally
limited 10 one hour. was extended by piece
meal until more than four hours was spent
in discussion. Both politics and scandal
were intcrjeCted into the consideration
ami several sensational incidents were
narrowly averted.
Mr. Bartlett of New York, was accused
by Mr.. Hainer OF being responsible for
the original elimination of the item from
the bill, although speaking IN favor OF its
reinscrtion. Later. Mr. Bartlett threat
ened TO have Mr.. Hainer's words taken
down under the impression that reference
had been made to his being Intoxicated.
A sensa ton was created by the intrpduc-
ton Of testimony calculated to show that
there had been misconduct in the manage
nlent of the funds appropriated for the
university, and these were after ward re-
futed by the filing of counter charges
against the man responsible for the state
