AAVBEBESn.

HYDE & BEHHAN.

There were not very many people on the first floor last night, and strange to say, no more up stairs, to assist in the presentation of Muldoon's Blunders, and the rest of the variegated programme.

The initial comicality "Kitchen Domestics," introducing Frank Bennett and Miss fiida Gardner two clever performers was very amusing.

The leading specialties ot the evening were the Irish impersonations, which were capitally given by Kelly and Ryan. John T. Kelly is about as good as any we know ia his Irish characters.

The honse was very much entertained by the Dutch comedians Morris and Fields and also by the 'song and dance team' Keegan and Wilson who did their work well, including the wonderful high hat-kicking, without introducing anything new. Probably one of the best things on the bill was the Olympia Quartette as jubilee Singers, 'fthich sang well a very catching rearrangement of old plantation melodies.

The usual and well worn songs and dances were pretty well done by Annie Boyd and. the Bordeaux sister*. Miss Boyd has a sweest fresh voice,but the variiety show music is not favorable to its display or cultivation.

The closing farce of Muldoon's Blunders was laughable and an improvement on the last Mtildoon serial, both in the appearance oi the characters and the nature of the play.

It is a funny burlesque to display Kelly and Ryan, without any merit of its own. All the characters appeared very well, and the blunders of Muldoon caused many a hearty laugh.

NEIL BURGESS.

This comedian, well known here, will present the comedy, "Widow Bedott," at the Opera House to-night, supported by an excellent company. The Albany, N. ,Y., Times says of the personation: "It can truthfully be said that there never was an audience in Martin Hall more highly delighted than'that of last evening, the occasion being the first presentation Jin this city of the farcial comedy of 'The Widow Bedott.' From the rising of the curtain in the first act to ita going down in the last, the house shook with continual roars of laughter. Neil Burgess, and a company, each member of which is worthy of all praise, have Bcored a success in Albany which will not soon be forgotten. Merriment ruled the hour. Burgess' creation of the 'Widow' is as great in its line as the Sellers ef Raymond, the Dundreary of Sothern, the Bardwell Slote of Florence, or the Rip Van Winkle of Jefferson. Burgees is an actor of the highest rank —an artiet whose merits cannot be exaggerated. He is evidently fitted by nature for the presentation of the chattering, wily, and vociferous widow." "WANTED, A CARPENTER."

This is the title of Qus Williams' new play, which will be presented at the Opera House Monday night. The outline of the play is thus:

Eighteen years before it opens a female child is left on a door-step, and is taken in and reared as the daughter of the house. Her foster father dies and leaves her his fortune in case she marries his nephew, Karl Zimmermann. A lawyer takes charge of the will—written in German—and translates the name in the condition Cbarles Carpenter, for the pur-

Eold

ose of perpetrating a fraud and getting of the girl and the legacy himself. He pretends to hunt for a Charles Carpenter, who can be identified as the man whom the girl is to marry in order to get the legacy. Thus it happens that a Carpenter is wanted, and one turns up to suit the crafty lawyer's purpose. He is another villain, who turns out to be the father of the girl. Karl Stein appears on the scene as a detective, and falls in love with the girl, and he turns out to be the veritable Karl Zimmermann, the Carpenter wanted. Such is the knot of the plot, and the two villains try to keep it tied up by holding fast to their separate ends of the string. Prof. Conrad Keiser, Gus Williams, is an old German who has been the tutor of the girl, and, while expounding the merits of a patent umbrella, stumbles into the mysteries of the will case, and brings the girl and her lover together. "THE PROFESSOR."

This play, credited with a long and successful run at the Madison Square Theater, New York, will be given on Wednesday evening, with the author, W. H.^Gillette in the title role. From a number of press notices the following is selected from the New York Herald: "The audiences are kept in clmost continuous laughter, and to recite the story of the play is quite unnecessary after it is said that the Professor, an exceedingly stupid, middle-aged man—described as a 'most excellent and simple-hearted gentleman in intellect in scientific analysis, in power of abstract reasoning, a veritable giant in emotion, in affairs of the heart, in society observances, an inexperienced child'—wanders to a fashionable resort and becomes hopelessly involved in numerous matrimonial engagements. He is the centre and cause of all the fun of the place, and some of the pathos. Mr. Gillette played his part well, and gave a bit of character-acting that was remarkable for its originality and finish. Those associated with him ably seconded his efforts, and merited, as they deserved, frequent acknowledgments from the house. The piece is handsomely mounted and well-acted, and, despite its crudities, is so exceedingly amusing that it is well worth seeing for the sake of the laughter it frequently affords."

Thief Arrested.

Officers Loveland and McLean arrested a man named James Owen, last evening, between six and seven o'clock, on the charge of stealing a rubber overcoat from the store of L. Goodman & Co. When he was taken to the jail it was noticed that he was also provided with a pair of new boots, which he said he had stolen from D. Reibold, and which subeequent investigation proved to be correct.

Joaeph Curry, a resident of Macksville, was arrested by Constable Dwyer and Detective McMahan, Thursday evening, on a charge of bastardy, preferred against him by Virginia Goes. The preliminary trial was held in Justice Wharry's court yesterday, and the cue was discussed.

pny ever before disbursed in one month, of the road say there is no doubt that the annifaljepOtt of the Pennsylvania railroad ifill be very favorable, ana will show that the company occupies a position of great financial strength. Many improvements have been made, the cost of which has been charged to current expenses, and yet the net profits of the year will show a" handsome surplus beyond the dividends paid.

A LITTLE OFF.

The Indianapolis Journal states that "the latest report is that the Evansville & Terre Haute road has scooped in the Chicago $ Eastern Illinois, and the Louisville & Nashville people looked on, saying 'Sta' boy.'" As four-tenths of,.the E. & T. H. stock is held by the C. A E. I., four-tenths by the L. & N., and two-tenths by the E. & T. H., how the latter road could "scoop" its owner, without the L. & N. participating, is "one of those things that no fellow can find out."

By Associated Press. MISSOURI AND THE H. & ST. JOE. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6.—A Post-dispatch

special from Jefferson City says: The Hannibal & 8t. Joe railway, this morning, filed a bill of complaint against Governor Crittenden in the United States Circuit Court, complaining that the State failed to pay the January interest on bonds under the pretense that the Hannibal road is in default, and that the State threatens to advertise said road for sale. The company asks to he adjudged and decreed to have paid a sum equal in amount to all the indebiednesBS due by said company to the State, and to have fully satisfied and discharged all indebtedness that the whole morigage and lien of the State be vested in said company, and that the Governor make over, assign and convey to them all the first liens and mortgages held by the State on June 20th, 1881 that the defendant be perempterilly enjoined and restrained from selling the road, and asking for a *rit of injunction enjoining and restricting the defendant as prayed.

He states that his connection with the speculators was for the purpose of detecting the frauds. He was appointed assessor six days after arriving at Brownsville, the county seat, and received a warrant for $350 as his share of the plunder. The county seat consisted of a few shanties and eight inhabitants, most of them officials. They have issued $200,000 in bonds, although there is practically no property in the county, and only a score or so of people, besides numerous warrants for salaries, etc. The bonds art said to be distributed in Minnesota and other Western 8tates, and in New York, while a few have gone abroad. Strong says he expects soon to return to Dakota to testify against the conspiring officials. The County Treasurer, named Sutcliff, or Radcliff, is said to hail from Newark.

Discussion of th® Cost of the Pension Arrears Act—The Xexicaa Bonn

's*

dary—Bills Introduced*

THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6,1882. President pro tern. D*vis, a few minutes after the assembling of the Senate, vacated the chair for the day to Garland.

Maxey offered a resolution instructing the Secretary of the Interior to furnish the report, il any, of the survey of the United States and Texas Boundary Commission, made under the act of June 5tb, 1&58, and if no final report of said commission was made, he will report that fact, together with the

mapB,

surveys and

report of the work so far as it was prosecuted. He explained that the purpose ot the act of 1858 was to ascertain the true northern Texas boundary that is to say, what is the main Red river line as laid down on the Mellish map of January 1st, 1818, by which the boundary was fixed between the United States and Mexico under the treaty of 1828.

The work of the commission showed Bothing definite on the point. Texas claimed the north fork and the Interior Department the south fork of Red river, to be the true Red river, according to the Mellish map. The resolution was adopted.

By Beck, directing the Secretary of the Treasury te inform the Senate at once what reasons, if any, he ha« for failing to comply with the Seaate resolution ef December 21,1881, relating to the tariff dues imposed on English and American goods by France, Germany and Mexico.

Hoar asked, that the resolutionjbe laid over one day under the rule so

Bills were introduced and referred as follows: By Rollins, to fix the term of office of Collectors of Internal Revenue.

By Logan, amendatory of the pension

By Wlfldom, appropriating money for the selection of a site and location for the Government building* in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The morning hour being extended for consideration of the calendar, several resolutions, including one for a woman suffrage committee,were passed over because of the absence of Senators interested in them.

Hale's resolution for a special committee on the mode of electing President and Vice President, and of counting and certifying the vote, was disposed of by reference to the Committee on Privileges and Elections.

The resolution of December 13th, offered by Davis, of West Virginia, relating to pension frauds, calling for statements of their nature and character, what amount of arrears has been paid, the number of cases added to the pension roll under the arrears act, the number of applications thereunder, and the total annual expenditure required, and an estimate of the coat of arrearages paid" and to be paid and the total regular pension roll after the arrearages have been determined, came op.

Some discussion ensued upon an amendment by Edmunds, striking cut the direction to the Secretary of the Interior to report his opinion upon such legislation as be thought advisable. Edmunds argued that the President alone was empowered to recommend legislation.

Hill, of Georgia, contended that while it was the duty of the President to do this, there was no limitation on the powsr of Congress to get opinions from others.

Davis, of West Virginia, hTthc course ot the debate, said tbe Secretary had estimated that $100,000,000 would be required for this year to pay the pension roll, and this estimate, he learned, had been increased by the Commissioner to $120,000,000. Nobody knew where the increase! would stop, and next jear, for aught we knew, it would reach $150,000,000. He [Davis] had stated last year that the arrears of pensions bill would cost the Government a sum greater than the National debt, and the statement was laughed at. Present indications eeem fully to justify the statement he thenjmade.

Logan, replying to Davis, said statements not based on accurate information should not be allowed to go to the country uncorrected. The aesertion that the pension arrearages would cost more than the National debt wae certainly not based upon any reliable basis. Tie inference from what had been stated would be that our pension roll would continue to cost $100,000,000 per year, right along, with a probable increase. Yet the re pott of the Commissioner showed that, with a certain Jorce at his command, the arrear3 of pensions could be paid in two years, and that after theee were paid the roll would be reduced to $40,000,000, or not over $50,000,000. The Senator frorla West Virginia could not help knowing thin, for the report was before him. There was, therefore, no reason to alarm the country by a statement such as the one the Senator had just made.

The resolution, as modified by Edmunds' amendment,was adopted. After the morning business, Sherman moved to take up his bill for the issue of three per cent, bonds. Objection to it present consideration was made by Beck, who proposed to antagonize its discussion with that of the tarifi commission bill in the hands of Bayard, now absent, to be reported on Monday, and by McPherson, who desired to have printed an amendment which he had framed.

Sherman said that as his motion was a notification of his own purpose to try to get the bill up on Monday, he had accomplished his present object, and he withdrew the motion.

The amendment of McPherson makes the bonds redeemable after January 1, 1891, inetead of payable after January 1, 1887, and extends the time of payment to thirty years from the date of issue.

Plumb gave notice of an amendment directing the ose of all the fnnds now held in the Treasury for the redemption of United States notes, in excess of $100,000,000 for the redemption of 3J per cents.

The amendments were ordered inserted in the bill as reprinted. After executive session the Senate adjourned till Monday.

What tioverner Ordway Says. Sioux CITY,Jan.6.—Governor Ordway, of Dakcta, was in the city to-day on hia way East, and said in an interview on the subject of the recent Statements in a Washington special: *'You may say that Governor Ordway has written no letters opposing division or admission, but hss recommended both. Neither has he maligned the people of Dakota. All his criticisms have been upon the methods of Pettigrew and his thirty-nine pals, whom he regards as the lineal descendants of the original forty. He would consider it an honor to be displaced for thwarting the schemes of those who inspired late spe cials from Washington."

Another Scoundrel.

PrrrsBUKG, January 6.—Intelligence has just been received here of the abscond ing of James H. Hildebrand, a prominent jeweler of Mercer, Pa., who disappeared from his home several days ago, taking with him abont $1,000 worth of goods, and leaying a number of

I Which find but pleasant ways: Some hearts there be to which this life is only Around of happy days But they ere few. Far more there are who wander

Without a hope or friend Who find their journey full of pains and losses

And long to reach the end. How shall it be with her, tho tender stranger, Fai»faced and gentle-eyed. Before whose unstained feet the world's rude highway

Stretches so strange and wide? Ah! who may read the future? For our darling

We crave all blessings sweet, And pray that He who feeds the crying ravens Will guide the baby's feet. —Florence Percy.

THE TWO L0VEES.

''If it were for your own good, Sylvia, or if I even thought the man really loved you, I would never try to hold you back from marrying him. But you don't know him as I do, dear. If you could hear and see him of an evening in the billiard-room at the 'Clarendon,' half intoxicated and swearing over his bad luck, you would soon lose this foolish fancy for him. And he talks of women, too, in a shameful way. No man worth the name would "That is quito enough, Mr. Maxwell," exclaimed Sylvia Lee, who bad been listening to the young farmer's lecture with ill-concealed impatience. "If Philip Carr amuses himself in such places, is he any worse than youP By your own account you frequent them yourself."

"Only since this fellow camo here to bewitch you, Sylvia," said George Maxwell. "I hay watched him, but it .was for your sake." "Never mind, George. I cannot hear another word," said the dark, bright young beauty, looking nervously toward a pretty bower of honeysuckles at the lower end of tho garden in which they stood. "I may as well tell you at once that I love him with all my heart, and that I have promised to marry him on the day when my grandfather gives his consent." "Dr. Lee will never do that," began George. "Ho' has always wished you to marry me, Sylvia. And I—oh, you Jcnow how my whole heart has been fixed upon you ever since we wero little children playing about this dear old farm together.'

The girl flushed up and seemed to hesitate. Sho had loved Georgo Maxwell. Nay, she loved him now, although she knew it not.

Tho leaves shook and rustled, although there was not a breath of wind stirring among the trees.

Sylvia's eye caught the movement, and her color grew deeper still.* "It cannot be, Georgo!" she said sadly. "I must go away—I must see the world. And he can show ifc to me."

She drew her hand away and ran back to the house before George Maxwell could utter a word. After a few moments he mounted his fast gray maro

and rode swiftly to the hillsido farm which was his own and from her window, screened by the curtains, Sylvia watched him out of sight For the last timel She knew it well. George Maxwell was proud. Ho would not kneel to sue for a love that was denied, no matter what ho might suffer through its loss. He would come no more.

For weeks Sylvia had said to herself that their tacit.engagemeut was broken. Now that it was done, silo sat down and looked at George's picture on tho wall and cried as if her heart would break.

From the garden, from the honeysuckle bower, came the clear, thrilling notes of a bird—a call that she had listened to many a time during tho weeks just fled. Now she heard it with a start of fright. Her tears ceased. "I've kept him waiting so long! Will he be angry?" sho thought as, all in a flurry of agitation, she bathed her face and arranged her hair, and tied the crimson ribbons afresh that fastened the lace frills at her throat and wrists.

She stole down tho front stairs softly. The warm, perfumed twilight was dropping down above the earth like a mantle of darkness and secrecy.

Down to the arbor sped Sylvia, sure that she wa3 safe from every eye. And in the arbor sho was met by a tall, distinguished-looking man, who lifted her small white hand to his lips. "How long you have" been, my dearest," he said reproachfully, tlrawing her to the seat that circled the arbor. "I began to fear that you were going to desert me and cling to the young farmer, after all." "He has gone. I shall not see him again. Don't talk about him, please," said Sylvia rather unsteadily. "I hope you don't regret him, darling," said the silky voicc. "To live witL him on one of these dreary, lonely farms! It would bo an awful fate for one so bright and fair. Wait till you see the elegance, the luxury, the perfect comfort of a city -home and then say if you are sorry for places like these. You will say good-bye to poverty, dear, once you are my bride.' "Poverty? Why, I have never been poor," exclaimed Salvia. "Grandpapa is the richest man in Cliuton, and he has always given mo everything that I wished for*" "I know—I know," said Philip Carr, glancing back rather contemptuously at the square, red brick house. "Tho farm is his, I hear. But what is that to such a home as I offer you?" "The farm is only a small part of grandpapa's wealth," said Sylvia, who, in spile of her infatuation, slightly resented this persistent undervaluing of her family and friends.

It was not the first lime that ho had talked in that way. Should she—should she tell him a secret which would mako him approach her grandfather with more respect when he went to ask his consent to their marriage? It might be well to do so. "But a man's bank account tells the story of his property, love," said Philip carelessly. 'And your grandfather has none at Clinton, so the people say. But what docs that matter?" he added, changing his tone. "I marry you for love, not for money, my darling." "Phil, will te]l you something, only

"*CT

you~must keeptht) secret 'aKETully," said the foolish girl "Grandp&pa, has a horror of banks. He keeps his money here at home." "A small amount, I suppose, dear. Well, that is not very dangerous." "Small, amount! To my certain knowledge there are more than ten thousand dollars in his safe this night." "A safe But that is dangerous. Anyone seeing a safe in your house would guess at once, that it held.,, money. "Hush, Phil! No one would ever guess the secret. It is built into the wall. And out of that safe, sir, a handsome dowry is to come for me when I marry with his consent," said Sylvia, gazing tenderly into his handsome face as he bent above her, to steal a kiss from her half willing lips.

Blind, foolish, infatuated Yes, she must have been all that, or she would never have betrayed that sacred secret of the household to one who was almost a stranger. Blinder still that she did not notice the alteration in her lover's manner after the secret was told, and the eager, restless way in which he presently glanced at his watch and regretted that he must leave her because he had an engagement to keep with his lawyer, who was to arrive at Clinton by the last train—the train that they heard even then, skrieking and whistling its way past the farm.

After he had gone—after the magic influence of his presence had vanished —Sylvia, in the quiet of her own chamber thought tremblingly of what she had done.

At midnight Sylvia was roused from a dream of her lover by a loud cry in the lower hall.

Her grandfather's voico! And then heavy steps, low, fierce mutterings, like curses—a short, fierce struggle, and a crushing blow. "Fm coming, grandfather! Oh, what is it?" cried Sylvia, lighting her lamp with trembling fingers, and only waiting to throw on her dressinggown.

No one answered. She sped down

tho stair-case

Crouching to avoid the bullet, Sylvia flew into the garden, and into the arms of a man who stood below the steps. "Husb, dear! It's only George," he said, as she cried out "The police, are here on the track of two burglars, and—and I came with them, with my dear mother, Sylvia, to warn you. I'm sorry to say that Phil Carr is one."

He drew her aside to where his mother stood, as the rush came from tho police and farm hands who had been stealthily summoned to aid them.

Shots were fired, a furious struggle took place within tho hall, and then the prisoners came forth, handcuffed and unmasked.

For the last time Sylvia Lee looked upon tho face of the man who had so well nigh been her ruin.

They raised tho poor old doctor, and found that his wound was only superficial. lie was about, well and

stroDg

as over, on tho second day afterward. But Sylvia laid for days in the grasp of brain fever, and it was a very pale and delicate little bride that was giv6n by the doctor to George Maxwell just before the Christmas days set in.

And ouly three people have known the story of Sylvia lovers until this day, when I have told it to the world.

Bro, Gardner and Judge Oadaver.

Pom Good Advice.

"Am Judge Cadaver in de hall tonight?" softly queried Brother Gardner, as he looked down the aisle towards tho stool on which tho fat and juicy Judge was unanimously reposing. "If do Judge am in do hall ho will please step dis way," continued tho President, after a moment of deep silence.

Tho Judge slowly arose and meandered forward, energetically chewing at a piece of slippery elm to'.hide his agitation. "Brudder Cadaver, I havo a few word3 to say to you to-night," said the President as he looked down upon his shiny baldness. "De odder day I happened to pass a policy shop, an' I saw you gwine in. Dat same cvenin' as I was gwine pnst a saloon I saw you standin' at de bar wid a glass of whisky in your han'. I kin also recall de fack dat I hev not seen you at work fur do las' month." "I hasn't bin feelin strictly well," pleaded the Judge. "You war well 'nuff to play policy." "1—I—didn't put up but ten cents." "And what about de wbisky-drink-in' "I was feelin'powerful weak, sah." "Too tiiin—too thin," replied the President as ho shook his head. "Now, den, I want to spoko to you. In some respects you am a good man. I doan't believe you would steal, I hev nebor cotched you lyin', an' I reckon you am a good man at home. Now, if somebody told you dar was a gold ring in de bottom of de ribber somewhar' would you pay ten cents a chance to fish fur it?" "No, sah." "Sartin, you wouldn't. Policy am a long, wide, deep ribber. De gold ring at ae bottom am a $5 prize which some poo' critter fishes out arter payin' ten or fifteen dollars fur de chance. You wouldn't frow money into Lake Erie an' spect to git it back, but you'll frow money into de pond of policy an' spect to git out ton times as much money as as you tossed in. Drap it—drap it, Brudder Cadaver, before you^ loose de title of Judge an' get dat of Fool." "Yes, sah I'll arap it to once." "An' you drank whisky. De man who goes into a saloon am no better dan de man who keeps it. If I should ax you to put your foot agin a hot stove you would think me crazy. An' yet, when you burn your stomach, befuddle your brain a*i' make a brute of yourself, and have to pay fur do privilege besides, what shall I think of you? God mado de idiot, but it was left to whisky to make de fooL" 'Til nebber tecH de stuff agin, sah— nebber." "An' you hev bin loafin' aroun'. JBrudder Cadaver, all wickedness begins wid laziness. A loafer am as much despised as a tirunkard. When laziness comes home pride goes away to visit de nayburs. Whisky may break a woman's heart, but lazines* will freeze her to death. When you go home tonight spit on yer hands an' ax do boys ter grease yer butes. When you turn outer bed in de mawin', freeze hold ob de ax or spade or brush an' hunt fur a job. Dissolve partnership wid laziness, cut de acquaintance of whisky, an' do next time you am tempted to play policy come obcr to my cabin an' ax me to kick you all aroun' de doahyard.

The change in the tone of the market from yesterday, when weakness was characteristic, and when a considerable short interest was made in the market, was due to tho revival of reports of an early settlement of the railroad war, which caused a covering of the short interest made yesterday, with the result of advancing prices. Toward the close of business dispatches from Chicago were received, saying: "All the roads have now reduced their freight to a basis of j0 cents per 100 weight to New York, 8 cent«o Philadelphia, and 7 cents to Baltimore.
