The fight between Brewer and Tkonlp- son for the Congressional nominati on from the Fifth District is exciting a good deal of interest in Downdes. Under the Convention system, Lowndes has all ways gone soidly for Brewer, but Thomp- son is now at work in the County and in the last few days he has spoken at Le- tohatchie. Fort Deposit and other points. Local issues have overshadowed the State issues to some extent, but Jelks men are now actively at work in the County, and as Johnston has no organized forces, the gubernatorial race is rather a one-si1ed affair. The indications are that Lowndes will endorse Jelks and the new Constitu- tion by large majority.
 The crop reports from all sections of the County are very discouraging as the recent rains have done little to improve the condition of cotton. In some sections the entire crop of many of the farmers will scarcely be sufficient to pay their

The people are calling for better roads. and they are getting to the point where they are willing to pay for them Hon. Jesse Stallings spoke here last Johnston. The speaker was introduced by Colonel livingston. Most of Stall ing's speech was directed to the opposi- ton displayed by the ex-Governor to the new Cor stitution, praising the intellect of the ex-Governor, and trying to convince his hearers that 1t would be best, rather than put MT. Jelks back as Governor. to elect an experienced man like Governor Johnston. The speaker failed to tell any ernor's term that showed such towering intellect. It was said by many after the speech that 1t was not such as would do either candidates any good or any harm. All he said of Governor Jelks was rather complimentary He said he might have to eat crow, but if he were allowed to put the good old Democratic favoring on it, the old bird was good enough for him. and reminded the audience that he might He said 1t was often the case that the outs wa sagainst the 'lns;" and that every good Democrat delighted in run ming for office.

LARGE AS LAKE ERIE.
Little Known Body of Water in Win nipeg in Region Rich in
 Minerals.


 Lake Winnipeg, or "The Muddy Wa serS' is quite a large sheet of water. being about 300 miles in length and 60 in width. or about as large as Lake Esie. One solitary schooner of some 50 tons burthen is all the vessel that sails over it's broad surface, if we ex- cept the bark canoes of the voyageurs. The sail vessel belongs to the Hudson Bay Fur company, and is employed in transporting furs and supplies on their way to and from the Hudson bay, the chief factory of the company.
 Little is known of the great north ern lake, with it's solitary vessel and it's limited business; it is what Lake Superior was to the world some 25 years ago, and it is not unreas enable to suppose that as in the case of this lake unknown resources and unfor- seen circumstances will in 25 years more surround it's shores with civili- zation and cover it's waters with steam and sail vessels. That it is region rich in minerals there is no doubt, from the testimon of many travellers. The time may come, says the Winni- peg Globe. when Lake Superior will be only the Halfway place for business and travel to the northwest.

-ckPTAIN MEBR,s SEALS.


 Manager Poli continues this week his policy of making the holiday season more than ordinarily attractive at the Jacques by the presentation of nov city that has few cou9terparts among animal acts This is Captain Webb's famous troupe of trained seals, which have been regarded as one of the real wonders of the age. These seals are musicians. comedians. jugglers and acrobats, performing all sorts of tricks that seem almost grotesque when taken in connection with animals So little blessed with natural appendages for such work Just think of seal jug gling billiard cues and an idea may be gained of the marvels of Captain lWebb's animals perform. The seals ought 10 prove as attractive a novelty as Manager PoIi has ever offered the Waterbury publi,1. In addition how ever, he has another great feature at traction in Suigimoti's Royal Japanese troupe. and these marvellous gymnasts and athletes will most ably supplement |Captain Webb's seals as wonderful fascinating feature. There are other vaudeville stars on the bill, too. who maybe looked to for splendid additions to. the performance. among them being Grant and Grant. Dick and Alice Me AFoy. James Francis Dooley. Coakley and Mcbride, Morris and Bowen. and the Crotty trio. Prices are 10 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and % cents, ladies 10. .-.

to whom he was articled, and his suit was entered into. After he had quail fled and had commenced practice in a neighboring town the day for his wedding was fixed.
 All the preparations had been made for the event which was to crown his happiness, when on the eve of his we'd ding day he received i note from his fancee saying that she loved another more than himself and declaring that she could not marry him.
 This unexpected shock so seriously affected him that brain fever super vened, and for time his life was in danger, and on his recovery he retired from his practice and the world into the hermitage where he spent the re mainder of his life. With perverse loyalty he cherished to the last the memory of the girl who had deceived him, and directed that her portrait and the letters he had received from her should be buried with him.
 There is something strangely pa thetic about these love stories of her. 1411Csss SeloS VI : loyalty came within the knowledge of the writer when he was living in a small English town. One of the in- habitants of the town and a near neigh Dor was an old gentleman who for over 40 years had lived alone in the same house, rarely leaving it except once a day for pilgrimage to q churchyard in an adjacent village. During all these years, in the heat of summe CT and in the storms and cold of winter, MT. NJ had never once been known to miss this daily journey or fail to take with him few flowers to lay on the grave ofthe girl who had won his heart so long ago. She had died tragic ally within few hours of the day ap- pointed for their wedding and during all those years, the lover had shut him self as far as. possible from the world and had lived only for her memory. Every room in his house had it's me morials of the ill-fated girl, from portraits and her favorite books to the veil and wreath which she was to have worn as bride

.THE BIRD IN THE CAGE.

.The Bird in the Gage a four-act
 play staged and produced by Clyde
 Fitch, was the attraction at Polls the ater on Saturday and it met with the spontaneous and hearty approval of the small audience. The plot is
 neither heavy nor intricate, yet it is
 of such a nature as to-keep you inter Iested throughout. It is simply an
 other case of poor young girl being loved by a rich man, whose love she cannot return for her heart has been
 given to anether-ene who is of her own social rank Her rich suitor asks her hand in marriage and the girl cen
 sents, not because she loves him, but because she desires to satisfy the wish es of her uncle and aunt, who look with great favor upon the proposed
 marriage. The ill-fated woman tries
 hard to stif1e her conscience and to
 love her accepted suitor, but her eff forts meet with i'll success. She can not do it. Her heart is torn with sad ness and grief. Finally, with the aid of the brother of her .husband-to-be
 she proposes to run away, but this
 brother, who is not an angel of inno- cence nor purity. nor is his heart over flowing with manliness or tenderness. Ientices her to his room. but his evil plans come to ruin for the screams of the frightened girl are heard by her accepted lover. He hastens' to the scene. The brother is banislled, and the girl is released from her promise when she tells her tale The curtain descends as the girl and the man she loves are united once more. The part of Rosalie, "the Bird, y which is the most prominent figure in the play, was played by Sandol iMilliken. She was the personifcation of Ioveliness and sweetness. She was 1.-the and ardent
 buoyant and gay. She won your heart by her simplicity and her abso- lute innocence. She was a girl, young, bright. full of fun. whose heart was light and rsiGrry. But when she was sad, the hearts of the audi ence went out to her. Whether sor- rowful or gay, she was always charm ing. One of the most delightful parts of the play was that portrayed by Ed ward Harrigan, who enacted the role of Rosalfe's uncle. His quaint Irish humor, his ready wit, his brogue, his mannerisms and gesticulations were most typical. Tn the second act he was at his best and throughout this act he kept his listeners in roars Of laughter. The part of Albert Loring, who tried to ensnare Rosalie, was we'll played by Arnold Daly. With his lip and cunning look he looks the part of villain we'll. All the other parts were in capable hands and there was not one poor part in the rIay WaterhIJry thaater-ooerS Q rn very fond of attending poor shows, of being gold-bricked and then raising a
 big kick. They often stay home when |good shows are played and then some of them complain that a sufficient number of good shows are not brought to this city. = ,.~ *

In cherry tree on the farm of Hem sry Deitche,~.in New London, Oneida county, N. Y, is a scythe that has hung there since 1872. The rusty blade is imbedded deep in the limb over which a hired man hung it when he left the field one morning to enlist i1l the second war against England. It was learned some time afterward that he was killed. The scythe for a time was forgotten, and when found it was imbedded in the tree to such a depth that the owner of the farm, Joseph Miller, decided to let,it remain thers. Mr. Deitche purchased the farm three years ago and refuses to move either the scythe or the cherry tree.

THE PANGS OF LOV B.
Many Men Have Been Driven by
 Them to Madness.
Romances in the Careers of Hermita Who Led sordid and Secluded Lives-Driven to Despair by
 Bitterness of Failure.

Not many years ago there died in a western village man of the name of Newman, who for more than half a century lived entirely alone in a small cottage, never mixing with his fel- lows unless absolutely compelled. In his old age, from personal neglect. he became a singularly repellant man, from whom the village children ran away in fright; and when at last he died the only feeling expressed by his neighbors was one of gladness and re- lief.
 And yet this most wretched of old men had had his romance and days when life seemed a glad thing and full of promise Suspended from his neck was found an ancient locl1et contain ing the portraits of a sweet faced glri and a frank, handsome young man, and hidden away at the bottom cf 2 trunk wasa bundle of faded love let ters tied with a ribbon. From these pathetic memorials it was clear that the hermit had in his youth known all the thrills of loving and the pains of losing; but the secret of his romance lies buried with him.
 In the early '70's there was living in town i'll eastern Pennsylvania 3 we'll known miser of the name of Nich- oils a sour faced shrunken man, of whose history nothing was known be- yond the fact that he had come to the town when the oldest inhabitants were children, and that. he was rarely seen outside his cottage, where his simple wants were attended to by woman as old apparently as himself. Itwas only at his death that something of his early history became known. When he was young man, studying for the law in Philadelhia, he had fallen in love with the daughter of the attorney
