The program will be a splendid
one and Mr.. Perry will perform on
a special Knabe grand piano sent to
Wilmington for this one recital. His
numbers will not oAly prove pteasur-
able, but of instructive nature. So
on arcount of the latter students of
the piano especially should attend.

been made exceedingly low, but the
Academy management, which has
given Mr.. Perry a certain sum for
his recital, demand this a wise move
in hopes of getting a large audience.

has been recently busted and brought
to light, says the Bohemian.
A young and afterward distinguish

trict of New Yerk state was arguing
his first appeal in the Old General
Term of Supreme Court. He had been
in many legal scrimmages in justices
courts at rome, but has never ss>od
in the awesome presence Of five Sc
da1e and learned judges of the supreme
court, in general term assembled. His
embarrassment was great He repeat
led himself and misplaced his words
so often that it was quite evident that
he must soon be routed by his own
confusion unless something SHOULD oe-
cur to break the spell. Finally, and
just as ne was floundering the deep
est in q chaotic tumble of language
and ideas, the presiding judge inter-
rupted with the following remark:
MT Smitherss 1 believe it will be
great relief to yourself and to the
court if you will address us in the
same free and Informal way that you
doubtless use in addressing your local
justice Of the peace"

physicians talking casually together
for about half an hour After the ex-

peared depressed over the situation
Mrs. Thaw and counsel spent oven
an hour with Thaw after which they
visited the various departments OF the
institution. Mrs Thaw said:
