10 "Why Smith Left Home" George
e. Er0adhursr has written farce that
is INCIDENTALLY funny. This will be
seen at the opera house Monday night.
In Its dialogue, it ls distinct step in
advap CO over anything he has done.
The fun OF the plsy is extracted almost
entirely from the complications into
which Smith and his wife are hurled
shortly sitter their marriage by the
arrival OF four Of Mrs. Smiths rela-
tives to make . visit. Gases Of mis-.
taken identity ensue, and for time
Mre. Smith is msde to believe that her
husband is not true to her. Every
thing comes out right 10 the end, how
ever, and it Is not until then that
Smith really does lesve home.
"Why Smith Left Home" was pro-
duced at the Strand theatre. London,
and ran for months, and was pro-
nounced the hit of last season at the
Madison Square theatre, New York,
where an engagement of four months
was played to the capacity of that
house.

jackson and the TaiIor,s Bill.

A gentleman In Pennsylvania has a
queer document which came into his
family's possession many years ago
and shows an interesting phase of An
drew JackSon's character as well as a
glimpse of the simple times of his pres
identiaI term.
1t appears that clerk in the state
department contracted a tailors bill for
$64.50. and the tailor, finding himself
unable to collect the amount, laid the
matter before the president in an ap-
pealing letter.
Jackson promptly decided that this
was n matter to which he must attend
personally, so he transmitted the tai
lor's letter TO the secretary of state,
with this strong recommendation:
Referred to the secretary OF state. If on inquiry
the fact stated be true, unless the clerk pays up
his debt let him be forthwith discharged
The government would become party to such
swindling provided it permitted its officers to be-
come indebted for necessaries and not that
they paid their debts out of their salaries.
Honest men will pay their debts. Dishonest
men must not be employed by the government

A Singing Earthyvorn,.

We have heard of good many. crea-
lures which sing, including Mr. Rus
kin's singing serpents in the valley OF
Diamonds, yet Mr.. Annandale has as
sured us that there exists in the Malay
peninsula a being which the Malays de-
scribed under the above heading.
1t lives in Il burrow in the ground
and cheerfully sings, or a [ least chirps.
But the Malays call everything that
creeps 4 worm, and the beast which
they really mean is a large kind of
cricket with voice.
In the very same part of the world,
however, is a real earthworm, huge
monster three or four feet in length,
which was discovered not long ago and
which really has a voice, or at least
can produce a sound. The Latin name
of musicus has been given to it on that
account
When it is fora ging about near the
surface of the ground, the numerous
sharp little bristles implanted in its
skin, which enable it to hold on to the
earth, strike against stones and give
out a musical sound. This is rather
more like twanging a Jews harp
than singing. But any sort of sound
from these silent, gliding creatures is
singing.-London Express.

Pittsburg. Dec. 17.-The crest OF Il G

The rains and snow of the last three
days caused the upper tributaries of
the rivers to swell, and the result was
a rise almost unknown at this season.
Warning was sent out from the wealth
