TO MY BABY SAND-DAUGHTER.
WBITTEH OH CHRISTMAS DAT, U81«
Baby, on this Christmas day, 'T is for thee, sweet, I would prayIf thou livest to womanhood, That thy life he pure and good: That thy heart may ever he Filled with love and purity: No sad tears thine eyes shall drown, Ne'er wear sorrow's chastening crown, Never know grim poverty, Ever wear humility. That thy temper may be kind, With a noble, loviag mind.
Never may thy parents dear One unkind word from thee hear Never wound their loving hearts. Never make the tear-drops start Never let thy word betroken, Always let the truth be spoken.
Honest, kind, and pure and good, May you grow to womanhood. Ever trust in God, your friend He will lead you to the end Of this life to One above, To a brighter world of love To a holier clime than this, Where no sin nor sorrow is. Baby, there I hope to meet Thee, and all my loved to greet. Through the pearly gates so bright, May we walk in Heaven's pure light.
May we rest our weary feet On the lovely gold-paved street May we Join in that grand chorus To the Lamb, Who is victorious May we range the holy mountains, Msy we drink from crystal fountainsDrink of that life-giving water. Is my prayer, my dear grand-daughter.

LEAVITT'S MINSTKELS.
The unvarying good attendance which was a feature of our entertainments up to the holidays, has taken a marked change, The Goodwin troupe drew poor houses, and the Leavitt minstrel'party was served likewise last night. And perhaps it was well. For a show with
Buch
great preten
tions it was a failure. The troupe is minus such comedians as Harry Armstrong, Charles Seamon, and others, who made their entertainment given here in October one of the best on the road. The absentees are nevertheless still advertised.
Twenty-four men were displayed in the first part with ten endmen the funny business—such as it was—devolving upon but four. The feature of this part—and indeed of the entire show—was the sinning by the quartette, and was first-class. The inevitable "Blue Alsatian Mountains" was, of course, on the programme, being well rendered by Arthur Cook. The other musical features were ballads by R. T. Tyrrell and William Kellogg.
In the olio P.C. Shorlis— what a name for a minstrel star—gave a neat banjo and violin act, including some creditable imitations on the latter, Connors and Kelly gave as good a breakneck song and dance act as has ever been presented here, the falls and antics being very ludicrous. Frank Moran and Lew Benedict gave a stump speech duet which was positively dreary. After souie excellent quartette singing, Billy Arlington attempted a, banjo act, which met with a very cool reception. As a comedian William is fair, bat as a banjoist and singer his day is eternally past. The three Rankins gave a passable musical act and Dave Reed repeated hia previous bone solo. The performance closed with a "warm-hearted"^ao the bills said) burlesque. entitled "Patients, or The Snake Charmer." In this Burton Stanly as Patience, and William Kellogg as Steve Brower, rendered the "Sob Song" from the Mascotte, in excellent style. The former also sang .the waltz song from Olivette in such a manner as to win an encore. "WIDOW BEDOTT."
At the Opera House to-morrow night will be given that laughable creation of which the Boston Poet says: "The return of 'Widow Bedott' to the Gaiety is one of the events of the season. In the impersonation Mr. Neil Burgess certainly has no equal. The sallies of laughter which nearly every moment break from the audience at the expression of features, or of speech by the Widow, fully attest the great pleasure afforded by the perform ance. Mr. Burgess ifl supported by his own company. Mr. Stoddart deserves a goodly share of honor for his very artistic impersonation.
GUS WILLIAMS.
This well known comediau will give his new play, "Wanted, a Carpenter," on Monday night. The Detroit Post and Tribune says of it: 'Wanted, a Sarpenter," was produced last night before a large house. Owing to the impossibility of reviewing the play critically at this time, it might be sufficient to say, in a reportorial way, that the piece as a whole met with a hearty reception, although its character was an evident surprise to many in the theatre that the laughter was frequent and spontaneous, and the auditors evidently pleased. The story has sensational features, in which the umbrella of 'Prof. Conrad Keiser' is as important a factor aa in all the other situations. Mr. Williams made a great deal more of tthe'Professor' than was expected, and had the same enthusiastic reception he used to have as a specialty periormer. 'Wanted, a Carpenter* has begun its career suspiciously, and will doubtless draw good houses the rest ot the week.
HYDE A BEHMAN.
This city can always be relied upon to turn out a good house to a first class variety entertainment. Such an one will be that of the Hyde A Behman party at ihe Opera Honse to-night, of which the Bloommgton Pantagraph say?:
Hyde & Behman, who manage two large theaters in Brooklyn and have two or three first class variety parties on the road the year around, sent a company to Bloomington last night for the first time. It was the "Mnldoon Blunders" party, and was greeted by a good house. Th§ show was the strongest variety entertainment seen here in years. Every one of the eight specialties was a gem, and the closing comedy, "Muldoon's Blunders," in which Kelly & Ryan figured aa principals assisted by the company,was uproariously funny. The people langhed themselves hoarse at every point on the long programme. "THE FBorrasoK."
Below are given some press comment? on the Professor, which will be presented by the Madison Square Theatre Company next Wednesday evening:
Philadelphia Le?*er: "Not since 'Pinafore' has there been such a success aa Mr. Gillette's new comedy of The Professor.' The udience is kept in constant merriment by this very cleter performance, the beet test of which is that everybody who has once seen it wants to see it again."
N. Y. Spirit of the Times: "The funniest comedy of the season." Hartford (Ct.) Courant: "That the new play had the power to amuse such an audience for two hours and a half, call out frequent laughter and heavy applause, and send them away satisfied, in the best test of the merit of it."
Columbus (Ohio) Democrat: "The best piece of American comedy put upon the stage for years."
Ohio State Journal: "In the character of the "Phe Professor," Mr. Gillette is immense. From beinnging to end it is oa» roar of laughter from the audience."

The Fooket Photographic Instrument' N. Y. Correspondence of the Boston Gasstte. Have you hesrd of the instantaneous photographic instrument? It is a great invention. The instrument is no_larger than a well-filled pocket book, yet it is so complete that every man can be his own photographer without juiy trouble. The process of taking the picture Is as simple as writing. Yon simply hold the instrument before the object to be taken and there it is. I believe the policemen of London are armed with them, and they flash their camera on a rogue with as much ease as you would a dark lantern. No matter how awiftly an object is moving, it can be taken._ I know of one enthusiastic man who elaims that they will lie tbe reporter's note book of the future. For example, he is writing an article on the Brooklyn bridge, and aa he writes he uses his camera. When he goea home b« develops his plates, and consequently has a correct picture of the scene before him. Indeed, he never goes out of the house without his instrument in his pocket, and he keeps his friends supplied with pictures. 1 am a little afraid of the abuse of this invention. An unprincipled rascal seeing a pretty girl on the avenue can whip out his camera and have her face at once transmitted to the plate. The instruments are quite cheap—$10, I believe it is, that they cost—so here is fun for tbe million, How pleasant when taking a walk in the country to reproduce the landscape for one's own gratification or that of those at home! You see a lamb frisking by its mother's side, and in a moment, while its heels are kicking in the air, you have it down before you. If I was going to travel in Europe, I should certainly take a pocket camera along with me._ Any curious sight you can reproduce in the twinkling of an eye. I have seen pictures of moving crowds, of ships in motion, of men rowing and horse racing, taken by this prooees with the most remarkable accuracy.
How an African Explorer Lost His Bride. Chamber's Journal.
A certain famous African explorer was once the victim of one of those extremely distressing hitches which amount to the complete aad final separation of those who would otherwise have been united for better, for worse. He had fallen deeply in iove with a young Greek maiden whom he met in Crete. He afterward declared that never, before or since, had he beheld eo sweet and beautiful a creature. Having sought out the American Consul, he revealed to him the state of his heart. The Consul,who had himself married a Greek lady,bade him not despair, took him forthwith to the house of his inamorata, and presented him to her mother, who was a widow. The negotiations were conducted successfully at the end of a week he was an accepted lover and in a fortnight the day for the wedding had arrived. All this while he had seen the young lady once a.day, always in the presence of her mother and on the day before the intended marriage he had been permitted for the first time to take her hand and to imprint upon it a chaste salute. The hour appointed for the wedding found the bridegroom dressed for the ceremony and awaiting the happy moment. There entered to him at this juncture three Greeks, whom he has never seen before, and an interpreter, who introduces them as brothers of the bride-elect. They produce a parchment, which the interpreter explains. It is a deed ef settlement, which binds the bridegroom to pay so much a year to the mother and to each brother, and so much to his wife, and to disburse the first installments on the spot. In vain the unlucky traveler explains that he is worth nothing, and can not pay. The brothers look daggers, the interpreter frowns and tbe scene closes with the arrival of the Consul, who with difficulty gets his protege out of the clutches of his importunate wonld-he relations, and ships him off to Athens. He never saw his beautiful Grecian maiden again.
A New Lorenzo Dow. LOUISVILLE, KY-, Jan. 5.—Rev. George O. Barnes, the mountain Evangelist of Kentucky, a modern Lorenzo Dow, has been creating a sensation in this city during the week by his services at the Chestnut street Baptist church He is a firm believer in what is termed "Faith Cure," and at the conclusion of his services he calls up the afflicted, anoints them, prays for their recovery, and assures them all will be well it they have faith.
Mr.
Barnes claims that God never
damns, but it is the devil who does, and says he (the devil) makes sickness and disease. God heals. Every day we see in the newspapers the lie that "It hath pleased God to remove our brother." God didn't remove him. It pleased the devil to remove. The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away is a lie started by old Job when he was in deep affliction. There is not a bit of truth in it The Lord giveth but the devil taketh away. God has so constituted us that though the devil may lay grief upon us it soon wears out. Time heals us. The weeping widow will console herself in a year and a half by marrying another man. "Watch and pray," this divine conjunction used to trouble me a great deal. I couldn't understand it. I would prav t© the Lord and watch the devil,. then pray to the Lord and watch the world and nesh, and then the devil would slip up behind and catch me, but thank God I am over that difficulty I pray to the Lord and watch too and he protects mc. He will not let me perish so long as I look to him.
Mr. Barnes caused the people to look around at each other in amazement when he beheaded the devil. Take away the first letter, be said, and yoa have "evil remove the second and you have "vil the third and you have"il the fourth and you have a word that sounds like hell itself. So, you see, my friends, the devil is mean all the way through, and I don't intend to have anything to do with him. At the conclusion of each hour's service he invites backsliders and sinners to come forward and have their sin-sick souls cured, after which he extends an invitation to the afflicted in the body to come and be healed. If none come forward he does not insist but say they will do BO before he is done here. He does not beem in the least discouraged at the apparent slow progress for good but feels that he has done his best and leaves the result with" God. tires.

I. FAKHCTJLABS. Quin'c^, III., January 5.—During the funeral of Rev. Simon Kuhlehenholter, at Salem Evangelical church this afternoon, a frightful panic occurred. In the rush for the street forty persons were injured, six ladies seriously. The church is one 'of the largest in the city, and was filled with friends of the deceased. All the Beats were filled, and standing room in the aisles and about the doors was occupied. Soon after the services commenced the psnic occurred. It is said that a seat in 'be gallery broke down people in the vicinity thought the gallery was giving way, and the rush commenced. Men, women and children poured out of the doors leading from the main floor and gallery into the ball leading into the street All efforts to stop them were fruitless the people were frantic, and would listen to nothing. In less than two minutes tbe doorway was blocked up, and the scene that followed was indescribable. Women who were caught in the crowd were thrown down and trampled on, and their shrieks and the shouting of the men, who seemed frightened out of their senses, were fearful. For fully ten minutes the doorway was blocked up, and during the greater portion of this time half a dozen women lay on the steps under the feet of the frightened crowd. A few men who had lost their scare, went to work heroically to rescue the women, and succeeded in getting them out after they had been walked over by a large number of men. As fast as taken out the victims were taken to adjoining houses and cared for. It was found that several were seriously, probably fatally hurt. Mrs. Spilker, a married woman aged about 45, received internal injaries, and it is supposed will die. Maggie Meyer, a young woman, was bruieed in the face by boot heels, and was injured internally. Mary Keyes, Mary Ann Ritter, Minnie Bundy and Mi6s cdkut, young women, all received serious injuries, and their recovery is doubtful. Mrs. Daleman, an old lady Mrs. and Miss Lohman, and Miss Wiseman, were badly injured. Rev. Hoilenbracb, who was caught in the crowd, had a rib broken. Many who were knocked down and but slightly injured were taken home as soon as they escaped, and their names were not ascertained. There was no occasion for the scare, and no cause for a panic. After the excitement, which lasted for half an hour, the funeral ceremonies were resumed. Up to eight o'clock this evening the victims were all alive, but there is little hope for Mrs. Spilker, Miss Meyers and Mies Bundy.
TEBKIFIC EXPLOSION.
OBKALOOSA, la, January 5.—An explosion occurred at four p. m. to-day, whereby 500 kegs of powder, the property of the American Powder Co., went up with a terrific noise, caused by some boys using the wooden magazine as a target for breech loading rifles. Three boys, John Phillips, son-of the Mayor, whose father drew the rifle as a prize on New Years, Gerald Joyce and John Siedman, were the boys engsged in target exercise, and were instantly killed, fearfully mangled and burned. They were carried from fifty to two hundred yards away from the magazine, and mutilated almost beyond recognition. The explosion caused great damage to windows, hearly all the plate glas3 fronts in the business quarter of the city being wrecked, while many houses in the northern part of the city suffered severe damage, aggregating not less than $20,000. Many other persons were injured by falling glass and debris.

Dr. Hillis, President of the Board of Health of Keokuk, having been addressed by the President of the Board of Health of Hannibal, relative to the small-pox, answered: "(?. S. Smith, M. D., President of the
Board of Health of Hannibal, Mo.: DEAR SIB: In reply to yours bearing date December 31,1881, inquiring about small-pox in this city, I answer that there is a limited number of cases confined entirely to the medical students and as yet no apparent tendency to spread among the citizens outside of the students. It originated from an affected cadaver. Within the medical college there are nine cases in all, fonr of whom have been removed to the pest house three miles from the city. Two died and three are in the city doing well but too sick to move. The medical college has been closed by order of the board of health. You may rely on this aa being a true statement of the situation at this writing. Every means are being used to head off and stamp it out at once, with a good hope pf success. Citizens are being generally vaccinated. The town is quiet and business is moving in its channels. Thanking-you for your inquiry, I have the honor to remain yours, lespectlully, (Signed) B. B. HILLIS, M. D.,
President Board of Health.
KEOKUK, la., January 5.—No new cases of small pox two deaths occurred to day, one at the pest bouse and one in the city, making five deaths in all of the ten original cases.

"My father was cashier in alarm meroan'dle establishment owned by Mr. Carr, who honored me by his prefer* enoe and annoyed me by repeated offers of bis heart and hand.

Time after time I refused this man's hand, and still he followed me with a persistency which alarmed as well as angered me, and yet I was

oWerless to help myself, for our daily depended on his good will and when, one night, he came to our little room with aheary roll of bank bills end asked me to take charge ot them, until morning, as he had been called oat of town on urgent business, I felt a sense of danger in complying, but dared not refuse seemingly so simple an act of accommodation, an$ therefore reoeired tne money and gave him my receipt tot for the same, after depositing the unwelcome charge safcly in my writing desk. •'But Gilbert Carr knew well my father's weak points. He stood just long enough to give {him a glorious account of the strong upward tendency of certain shares that had lately gone down very rapidly. 'Anyone,* said he, 'who would invest freely in these shares might, during the next two days, realize a handsome fortune. Ton know, Thornton, 'no venture, no win," I heard him tell my father at parting. •There's nothing like speculation, provided you dip before an upward movement, as those who are in the secret can do.* I "Aithur, I told vou my tather had his weak points, and you may well guess the consequences of this terrible temptation which Gilbert Carr knowingly and wilfully threw in his way. The scheme proved a miserable failure, and after all was over my poor father crept back to our desecrated hearthstone, broken-hearted, crashed with fear and remorse, and begged piteously that I, for my dead mother's sake, would marry Mr. Carr, and save him from a fate worse than death."
Arthur Vernon, strong man that he was, bowed his head ana groaned, and moving nearer the woman of his choice, despite falsehood, despite dishonor, he took her hands, pressing them passionately against his heart. "Ana your young life was despoiled, sacrificed, to shield a father's guilt? Oh, my love, my love! Shame upon him to permit it! How can a being be so lost to all manhood?" "He was my father," she answered loyally, ."a&si be has gone to a higher tribunal to be judged." "And this man, whom I have called my friend, was the instigator of this villainous plot to get you in his power?" "Tho money was left in my hands I was responsible for it Gilbert Carr testified to that in court I denied nothing I would have taken my own life rather than aid his nefarious plans by yielding to my fathers prayer yet I promised to shield him from blame. Could I see his few remaining years passed in a prison cell—my poor father, whose life was a sad mistake* at best? At least I kept my word and freed him from the terrifying shackles,"—and she added, while 'the fire of indignation leaped hotly to her cheeks, "foued my bitter enemy in the coveted desire of his wicked life." "Curse him!" her lover cried hoarsely, while the slow tears fell from his eyes. "Heaven save me from ever looking on his face again, or I should strike him dead where he stood." "NO—oh, no!" she cried eagerly "I do not want to be avenged I only want to receive your forgiveness before I go out of your life for ever. My only regret is that I did not toll you all at first—"
He took the beautiful, wistful face in his hands and covered it with passionate kisses. "My dear, my brave darling, death alone can take you out of my life. Did you think for a moment that this pitiful story of your heroic life could make me love you -less? Tender and true as a daughter, what a faithful wife you will wake, Sybil! Come, dearest, let us go to my mother and tell her all but I hope never to look on that scoundrel's face again."
And he never did, for Gilbert Carr saw them before he got to the house, and he knew from tho peace which lay like a breath of heaven on the fair, sweet face of Sybil that the bitterness of her life was at an end. Right had triumphed the mists had cleared away she was lost to him for ever, aftd, with a bitter curse on his lips, he turned his back on fair Dunleatn, with its open, hospitable doors, forevermore.
The Poor Indian. ^1-
A converted Indian chief gave his sixty-four pale-face scalps to nis son, with the remark that it almost severed his heart-strings to part with tkese cheerful mementoes oz the happy days agone but he was growing old apace— the sundown of his life was almost at hand« and he would turn to the Bible for that sweet peace that paueth all understanding—and, besides, th9 paleface government foisted so many baldheaded Indian agents upon the dusky child of the forest that he was disgusted with the whole soalping business. And yet some editors libel tho noble red man by declaring that the only good Indian is a dead Indian!
The Politest Man in BostonThe politest man in Boston has been discovered. He .was hurrying along a street the other night, when another man, also in violent haste, rushed out of an alley way, and the two collided with great force. The second man looked mad, while the polite man, taking off his hat, said: "My dear sir, I don't know which of us is to blame for this enoounter, but I am in too great a hurry to investigate. If Iran into you I beg your pardon if you ran into me, don't mention it"—and he tore away at redoubled speed.—Boston Jown%oX»jg^
