"The extension to be made to the system in addition to (hat already men tioned will consist only of the proposed road from 1'ensacola, Florida, along the gulf shore to Tallahassee.

FROFKS30B RICHARD'S LECTDBE. Our interesting city certainly sustain ed last night the reputation It has had for years regarding entertainments. Tlie people will not, fox some reason, patronise an entertainment of the character of the one given last night at the Opera Hoase by Professor Richards, the English scientist. The audience, thongh miserably small, enjoyed a treat. The lecture was interesting in every detail and the experiments were wonderfnl. Despite the discouraging reception Profeftsor Richards received last night he intends to complete his series of entertainments by giving a matinee this afternoon for the benefit of tbe children and a lecture this evening, which will be fully as interesting as tbe one last-night and, the house should bs crowded.

FRANK MAYd*

Will give us bis ever-popular "Dary Crockett" at the Opera house to-morrow night, with a matinee in the afternoon. The Indianapolis Times says of the star and company

A very large, and in some respects brilliant audience, greeted Frank Mayo's revival of tbe beautiful backwoods idyl cf "Davy Crockett," last evening at the Grand, and a better pleased audience never left that house at the conclusion of any performance.

Frank

Mayo is fitted

by nature for the char»cter of '"Davy Crockett." His physique, manner, bearing and voice are in his favor in giving the part a proper interpretation. And bis conception ot the requirements of the character is perfect. The story of the play ia a most delightful one, full of ro* mance, love and adventure, and contains many strong dramatic situations. It is wholesome in tone, vigorous in action, and possesses a variety of the very best elements which enter into dramatic construction. Of Mr Mayo's supporting company too mnch cannot be said in praise. There ia not a "stick" in it Mis3 Laura Clancey, the leading lady, in the part of "Eleanor Vaughn," acquitted herself most admirably, clearly demonstrating her title to the position of a finished actress end a mpst handsome woman. The "Major Royston," of Harold Fossburg, was one of the best "old man" characters seen on the local stage for a long while. He is a clever aotor in anything he undertakes. T. M. Hunter was clever in the part of "Crampton," and the remainder of tha cast was good. A matinee will be given this_afternoon and a closing performance to-night.

A Confidence Same.

Last Monday evening, a stranger claiming to be from Pennsylvania, and giving bis name as Huffman, purchased a bill of goods at the store of S. Frank. He offered in payment a draft on a Pennsylvania bank. The draft was apparently all right, and being for an amount $30 in excess of the bill of goods, the proprietor gave him a check on one of our banks for tbe difference. It being after banking hours, the check was cisned at Lee Goodman's, and the stranger, who had been stopping at the Terre Haute house, disappeared. Mr. Frank discovered that the draft was bogus, and notified the police, who made an unavailing search for the man. Last night a description was received by the authorities of the man who played a similar game on the Singer Sewing Machine Company, at Indianapolis, Tuesday, and which tallies exactly with that of the man who played the gams here. At Indianapolis, however, he pretended to be a member of the firm of Krafts & Bros., of Brazil. The description of the man was read lit police roll call last night, and ehortly after Officers.Cain and Gregga met a man. on Main street who corresponded in almost every particular, including heighth, mustache, complexion, etc., with the coofidenoa man. lis was arrested in Button's book store, and taken to police headquarters. He proved be L. Lszarus, a traveling man representing an eastern pocket book house. He made a great "kick" at his arrest, threatened prosecution, etc. Lieutenant Vandever, although convinced that he, Lazarus, was not the man wanted, cent for one of Frank'* clerks, who, much to Lazarus' confusion, identified him as the man. This being a mistake, however, he was discharged, still in a very wrathy state of mind

riobergr, Root A Co's Opening:. The unusual and stylish display of the big dry goods bouse attracted a great number of visitors during the day and until a lste hour laBt night. This spreading out a big stock of new goods and decorating an immense room seems no trifling affair as, the salesmen, whose specialty is trimming, were at work till a midnight hour the day before and John Heinl sent in wagon loads of choice planta and flowers. The combined attractions of the green houses and the brilliant display of dry goods, which seem more rich, elegant and varied in style than ever before, srrved to bring together a great number of ladies who admired and inspected at their leisure the thousand and one articles that make a modern assortment of dress goods, laoes, fancy goods, etc., for per vice and adornment.

The feature of special opening days Bfems to be established and is appreciated dulv by the multitudes who like to see the pretty things and receive elaborate attention without beiDg importuned to buy. Tbe opening refe'red to above is to continue through to day *nd thi-t evening and until 9 o'clc p. m. to-morrow.

DROWNED!

father Kintrop, a Catholic Priest, Found in tbe River Above "it Clinton."

Ai an early hour this mornlnjt informs tion reached thin city that the body ofFather Kintrup, a Catholic priest of Montezuma, had bsen fonnd floating in the river some two miles above Clinton When found the body was minus coat and boots. The d:e overy was made by, some raftsmen.

Landable Ambition.

As a bright and talkative little two year old, was being put to sleep one night recently, she paused suddenly, and remarked in a serious tone: "Mamma, I wish I had a mouff zis big," indicating with her little hands an organ of almost appalling sizj. "Well, why, baby?"' was the astonished query of the mother. 'Cause, eo I coald talk 1"

Ho Treaty Violated by tbe Chinese Bill. New York Times. There is very little to be accomplished now by a renewed discussion of the bill to restrict the immigration of Chinese labor* ers, which has lately passed both houses of Congress. But the pertinacity with which many persons insist that tbe bill violates existing treaties deserves noiioe. If the persons who make these assertions would point out the clause or clauses of the bill which may be held to violate any cited clause or clauses of the treaties, it world help the discussion very much. Nobody hss ventured to do this. The treaty of 1880, which was amendatory of the Burlingama treaty of 1868, provides that when the Government of the United States shall consider the immigration of Chinese laborers to be undesirable, "the Government of tbe United States m*y regulate, limit, or suspend such coming or residence, but may Hot absolutely prohibit it." The bill just passed, employing the language of the treaty in its description of the persons who are to be included in or exempted from its provisions, "suspends" (as the treaty provides) the coming here of Chinese laborers for a period of twenty years. Absolute p.-ohibi tion would be without limitation aa to time. Just now the abstract merits of Chinese as immigrants »re not undrr discussion, although many seem to think so. And if we raise the more serioua queatioo of an alleged violation of treaty obligations, we ought, at least, to have the points at variance clearly understood.

Playing it Low en the Innocente. Washington Spccial Courier-Journal. Nearly every bridal couple that comes to Washington—and Washington is the bridal Mecca—visits the Treasury vaults. The young and invariably in'erestiog couple want to inspect Uncle Sam'a plentiful sheckels. When they enter the vault the man in charge of it, af era prelimin ary word of explanation, hands down a psckage »f notes from a shelf aod tells the bride to take it in her hands. He then explains that this package contains $20,000,000 in Jnited States Treasury notes. They constitute what is known as the "bridal package." Young married tourists, having heard of thia package, often ask to handle it just as soon as tbey enter tbe vaults. This is all very pretty. But it ie a fraud on the young people. "Bridal package" is a gBy deceiver. It does contain, however, notes of the denomination of $10,000 which would, in the aggregate, represent $20,000,000 if they were only sign?d. But they are worth no more in reality than the paper on which they are printed, being minus the necessary signatures.

Gen. S, E. Lee and the Union Army. Chicago Times. The story that Rnbert E. Lee was once offered the command of the United-States armies in the field by friends of President Lincoln is again started, and Been a to be established by Dr. Jone*, secretary of the Southern Historical Society. The offer came through Francis Preston Blair. The evidence that it w«s made is a copy of a letter written hv General Lee, dftted February 25,1868, and addressed to Reverdy Johnson. Simon Cameron having said upon the floor of the Senate that Lee had sought to obisin the chief command of tbe Federal troops at the outbreak of the war, and, having failed, had gone 'o Richmond to join t!».e Confederates, Reverdy Johnson, who^e Union sant'menfs were unmistakable, repel ltd tbe charge. Lec'n letter is to John-'OD, thanking him ami explaining tbe real situaiiou.

Mr. B. P. Shilliber writes to the Jlartf.rd Evening Post: "The oltlt-st #ntiMason, I think, has ju-t given up his hostility to the »rder with his life, in Chelsea, over the rivtr, at tbe greit 8ge of ninetyfour. Mr. Samuel Green, the person alludtd to, wn a number of the lodge to which William rpaa belonged, in B4t*vi*, N. at ti-.e time cf his iHsap pearance, and, 'irmly believing that Morgan was a victim of M.tsonic vengeance, tie kft the urd.r to bjcome one of its most bitter denouncers, and has been laboring incecntly «ver since to work its ruin."

Mrs. Samuel Kintzler, the wife of a farmer near Pine Grove, Pa., started in the dusk of tbe evening on Sunday las', to attend the Dunkfrds'religious service1), to be h«ld at a private house three miles away. When about half way there she fell dead from a stroke i,f paralysis Her daughter followed her an hour later to the meeting, and seeing the body of a woman lying in tbe path, obtained assistanse, and then discovered that the lifelesa body was that of her mother. The distress t-f the yonng girl was piinful to witness.

It ia expee'ed that next month the Piiccess Royi! of Germany will be a grandmother. The B#rliners are even now in a state of excitement. The soued of every cannon wafted to them by the brerzs from the practicing ground at Tegel perms to them td be the first of the 101 guns which announce the birth of an heir to the throne. Should tbe little stranger be a boy, three generations of direct heirs to an imperial throne will be in existence, an occurrence unexampled in historv.

WASHINGTON, March 30, 1882. A resolution was sdopted for printing 9,000 copies of the first volume of the census report concerning the population of the country.

The House refused to coniider the Utah contested election cise, and went into committee on the tariff commission bill, and Dunnel addressed tbe House. He opposed the bill simply and solely on the ground that the present tariff needed revision, and that this Congress had no business to adopt any mode which put revision b?yond itself. The tariff needed charge, modification, revision, and it was tbe duty of Congress immediately to en ler ou the work, aod not indtfinitely post pons by the sppointmjnt of a tariff com-mi-sion.

Hewitt, of New York, followed, and read from a speech of Kasson in 1866, to show thit be had changed his views. He then addressed himself to the bill, and had read the following resolution, which he stated be would offer soon

Resolved, That the bill creating a tariff commipaion be recommitted, with instruction to the Committee on Ways and Means to report within sixty days, or earlier if it be practicable, a bill based upon the following instructions:

Second—That so far as possible specific duties fbail bs fuls'.iluted for ed valorem duties, and that in determining such specific duties the average dutiable value of imports for the last three years shall be taken ss the etandard cf value, upsn which no higher rate of duty shall be imposed than shall he necessary to compensate for the diligence in the cost of labor at home and abroad expended in the production of such products, after unking due allowance for tbe expenses of transportation, and that the rate of duty shall not in any case (except on luxuries) exceed 50 ptr cent, of gnch average dutiable valup.

Hewett then opposed the commission bill on the ground that it would cause delay, acd when he had concluded the committee rose.

Stone, brick or wooden walls, with perpendicular air spaces in them, art warmer than solid walls, because the air conducts heat away less than the solid materials. A sheathing of tarred paper, or .pasteboard, or ol any thick paper even, placed midway between the clapboarding and the plastering, to form two thin air-chambers instead of one, adds greatly to the warmth of a house or other building. Two half-inch-boards, set a little apart to leave an air space between, makes a far warmer house wall than the same thickness of wood in inch boards:

The termer should sign nothing, under any pretext whatover, for a stranger do not even give your address— "just as a memorandum." When least expected, this address will turn u] as a signature to some kind of a promise to pay. Avoid every easy way of making money. No matter by what name it is called, the scheme is likely to be fraudulent. Let every farmer, and others who live in the country, be sure that trees ejtd shrubs with fruit of heretofore unheard of excellence, or flowers of onsurpassed beauty, are not introduced by hawkers and peddlers,

The making of manure is one of the most important labors of the Winter season, or perhaps it should have been said the saving of it. The value of a manure depends on several things, the leading of which are the food given the animal the kind, age and condition of the animal fed and last, but not least, the care which the manure receives after it has been dropped. Rich manure can only be made from rich food if straw alone is fed, the manure must be poor, as the animal adds nothing to, but, instead, extracts, from, the store of plant-food in the fodder.

When house plants are in a growing state, they may De stimulated by the use of guano water. A small teacupfol of Peruvian guano dissolved in a pailful of rain water is strong enough water the soil with this once, or at most twice a week. The water ef ammonia (hartshorn) is about as good, and can be had everywhere. If of ordinary strength, add a fourth of an ounce (two teaspoonfuls) to a gallon of water, and use as above stated. Cold coffee is also said by some florists to be nourishing to plants, and especially is it commended to force plants to bloom.

Mice are very prolific a single pair will often multiply to fifty or more during a single season, as the earlier broods reproduce one or more generations. Usually a large proportion oi each Summer's growth is killed off in Winter, if Autumn rains saturate the soil. At this writing, the ground is still dry, deep down, in several States. If at any point the soil freezes solid before copious rains, extra caution should be taken to protect fruit trees and shrubs against mice.

The fruit trees that are to be set the coming Spring should be selected now, and the orders sent to tho nurserymen that they may fill them properly. "Tree

Eonesty,

eddlers" have a poor reputation for and should be left alone unless one is sure of the nursery that they represent. It is best to buy directly of reliable tree-growers and, other things being the same, as near home as possible. Should the trees be frozen when they arrive, place them In a cool place where they may thaw slowly.

If "worms1' are very numerous in a meadow, the best thing that can be done is to turn them under with the plough as deeply as possible, and plant the ground in some crop that can be matured in the season, and that is applicable. If the meadow is new, and it is very desirable to preserve it forthenext year, the farmer must then turn in hogs, etc., use the roller or adopt such device as may be most convenient, so as to make the injury as light as possible, but with no idea of saving the present crop.

It costs the farmer much more than it formerly did to carry on his farm, and the need of the hour is products, and prices commensurate with his increased expenses.

It is eaid that a piece of zinc, placed on tho live coals, will effectually clean out a stove-pipe, the vapor thus produced carrying off the soot by chemical decomposition.

Smith Wanted What He Ordered. Some years ago an Austin merchant whom we will call Smith, because that was, and is, the name painted on his signboard, sent an order for goods to a New York firm. He kept a veiy extensive general store, had plenty oi money kept all his accounts in a pocket memorandum book, and didn't know the difference between double entry bookkeeping and the science of hydrostatics.

Among other things he ordered was 12 gross assorted clothes pins, 12 ditto grindstones. When he ordered the grindstones he meant to order an assortment of twelve grindstones. The shipping clerk of the New York firm was astonished when ho read the order. He went to the manager and said: "For heaven's sake! what do they want with twelve gross—1,728 grindstones in Texas?" The manager said it must be a mistake, and telegraphed Smith: "Wasn't it a mistake ordering so many grindstones

Old man Smith prided himself on never making a mistake. He had no copy of his ordor to refer to, and if lia had he would not have referred to it,.be cause he knew he had only ordered twelve grindstones. So he wrote back: "Probably yon think you know my business better than I do. I always order what I want, and I want what I order. Send on the grindstones."

The New York firm knew Smith was a little eccentric but that he always paid cash on receipt of invoice, and was able to buy a dozen quarries full of grindstones if he cared to indulge in such luxuries, so they filled his order as written and chartered a schooner, filled her full of grindstones, and cleared her for Galveston. They wrote to Smith and said that they hoped the consignment of grindstones byscnoonerwoulakeep him going until they could charter another vessel. Smith sold grindstones at wholesale, and at low figures on long time for some three years afterward. Now, when Smith's wicked rivals in business want to perpetrate a practical joke on an innocent hardware drummer, they tell him that he had better not neglect to call on Smith, a^they just heard the old man say lie wanted to order some more grindstones. When the drummer calls on Smith, and, with a broad smile lighting up his countenance, says, "Mr. Smith, I understand you are needing some grindstones," there is a painful tableau that the reader can better imagine than we cotjld describe.—Ttxat Siftings.

Mating. J£l

ANew York clergyman, in a sermon on courtship and marriage, said he believed that "there is a mate fore veryone if they will but wait till the right one comes along." The female portion of his congregation who have passed two score years said they never heard such nonsense, and that the man didn't know what he was talking about. If the right one doesn't come along before a woman reaches 40 the chances are nine in ten that he is snowed under, or dead, or, worse still, has married the wrong woman,— Norrktown Ecrqld.
