Valuable Horse Flesh.
Edwin Parker, of Lexington, Ky., is the guest of his cousin, Capt. H. H. Talbot, He is on his return from Quinoy, Ills.,
where
he had taken a
pair of coaoh horses whioh he sold to a gentleman of that city for the snug little sum of §1,260. There is no reason why such valuable horse flesh should not bo raised in Montgomery county as well as Fayette oounty, Ky.
Scared By Plying Paper.
A team belonging to Peter Clarkson, of New Richmond, became frightened *y apiece of flying paper about 8 o'olock this morning, and ran from D. F. MoClure?s store to the gas works. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson has just jumped out of the spring wagon, leaving their son Walter at the reins. He showed a good deal of grit and Buoceeded in stopping them before any damage was done, except dumping a load of oorn on the street.
State Encampment.
Next month Adjutant General Ruckle will begin preparations for the annual State encampment whioh will probably tnke place during August. It will be hold in some city outside of Indianapolis, General Ruckle will endeavor to make it a practical camp of instruction devoid of circus features. The State appropriates $57,000 a year for the militia. All the companies in the State are now uniformed except the three newly organized ones at Sullivan, Fowler and Rushville. Company I, late company X), is preparing to make a tine showing at the encampment.
Gravitation Suspended.
An exohauge says of Fantasma: "Many changes have been made in the play and some startling new mechanical and scenic effects have been introduced. The most notable innovation is in the second act, which now represents the bottom of the sea. A realistic bit in this was the diving of a man headfirst from the llies to the stage. Indeed, all through the play the law of gravitation (seemed to be suspended, for spirits flew ttroagh the air as if they had wings, and even inanimate objects occasionally took aerial flights. The cyclone, during which a village is swept away, was rendered even more striking by an illuminated transparency at the back of the stage representing the spirit ot the storm. The submarine scenery, the statuary pictures and the dream visions and tho grotto of the oracle, were all magnificent triumphs of stage mechanism and stace art. The piece is a constant succession of splendid pictures, so full ol the glitter of unreality and the glury of the imaginary, that the spectator feels transported to fairyland. It kept thirty stage hands hard at work all niglit to handle the vust and beautiful sccucrv.
Booth.
Air. Edwin Booth, the famous tragedian, who will appear jointly with Aline. Helena Modjeska, no less distinguished as an artiste, at English's Opera Hou.se, Indium'wolis, Tuesday night, April 21), in Macbeth, is probably tho only actor in our day who has given the character satisfactory interpretation. Ho alone Boerns to have fully comprehended tho many-sidedness of the part and possessed the ability to define it entirely. His performance is an inexhaustible study, affording ceaseless pleasure to the student of Shakespeare, being better in analysis and illustrations than any or ali of the scholarly commentaries to which the play lias'given rise. His pre sentation of thecharaotor is a marvel of dramatic force and intelligence. Were there nothing more to arouse interest and coinmand admiration in his work than his masterly treatment of the dagger scene or that immediately following the murder of the innocent and aged
Duncan, these would suffice to show one that Mr. Booth has mastered the metaphysical problem and looked into tho very soul of Macbeth. Mme. Modjeaka has also won flattering applause as Lady Macbeth and has shared the honors equally with Mr. Booth. The advance sale of seats will begin Satur- ... day, April 10th.

"OH, SHE'S A DAISY."
A Good Story Told on One of Montgomery County's Best OitizenB. Yesterday Tnft JotntNAL received a copy of the Clear Lake (Minn.) Sun Wave containing the following story on Stephen A. R. Beach whioh is too good to keep. Of course it is embellished in a delightfully pioturesque style, but this only adds to its riohness: "I was slowly wandering down Wabasha street in St Paul on a recent Saturday morning when I was accosted by a man of rather prepossessing appearance, being, I should say, about six feet in his stockings, dark eyes, black hair well sprinkled with gray, a grizzly beard with rather pleasant address. "Can you tell me where to find the Notthern Pacific depot," says tho stranger.
Answering him in the affirmative I told him "I was just on my way to the Union depot to take a train north on that road, and would take pleasure in being his pilot."
I observed that this new comer was in an agitated state of mind, but before I had time to ask him a question he opened out on the weather remarking that he had not seen any sleighing this Winter until he reached St, Paul the evening previous. "I am from Indiana" he said. "I live at Crawfordsville. I am a farmer on my way to Frazee City. My name is Beach. I'm going up thero to see a woman. I have come nine hundred miles to sea her. She is a teacher. She will be thirty years old the last day of this month. I have had twelve letters from her—yes sir, an even dozen, and —not rod hair, but a gelden blond, and she is a daisy—yes sir, she is a darling, And if the train is all right I'll get up thero by 5 o'olock and then my joy will be full. But I must hunt a fruit stand and get her a package of fruit. You know women™ I mean ladies—that is, blond ladies—no I mean ladies with blond hair, are fond of fruit, aud must buy her some-fruit. "Let me see," says he soliloquizing, "what shall I get? I have it I'll get her three red apples, two pears, a half dozen bananas, an orange, one dozen hickory-nuts, one pound of 'sugar kisses,' one-half pound of gum drops, and a stick of lickoris."
Having purchased the foregoing bill of fruits, he turned to me and said: "I believe I ought to to buy her a nice book what would you recommed for the purpose?" "Are you a widower?" said I. "Yes, sir, with twelve children at home." "Then here is a work," said I, "that will just suit the case," and I pointed him to a book entitled. "A Widower's
Needs," that was displayed in a window in one of the book stores oa 3d street that we were just passing.
Ho jumped at the idea and immed iately purchased the book. Having boarded the train 1 took great pleasure in pointing out to my Hoosier friend the different matters of interest along the line of tho Northern Pacific railroad, but I could not keep his mind from wandering ou to his blond haired teacher, and when I left the train at St. Cloud ho was again going over the good qualities of tho blond haired girl who was to bo the recipient of his fruit package and "A Wi-low's Needs," and the last I heard from him as I left the train wes, "Oh, she is a daisy.
