IT looks like there is going to be a combination of the Democrats and Nationals to defeat the Republicans In the dty election.

Debs, the Democratic dty clerk, for reelection to that office.

JOHN TURNER, late paymaster on the Vandalia road, died at Carthage, Missouri, yesterday morning, afteran Illness of only a week.

CAPT. JAMES HOOK has yielded to the solidtations of hls.friends and his name is formally announced in this Issue as a candidate for Mayor.

COMING AMUSEMENTS.

Hazel Kiike, wMch has been formed for a greater number of times consecutively than any other drama ever before produced on the American stage, will be given at the Opera House next Tuesday evening. Though the piece is still running at the. Madison Square Theater, New York, the company which originally produce it will constitute the cast hero—this being their 509th performan3e. The New York Times says of "Haael Kirke:"

An an artistic work it has real merit. There are simple and tender acmes scattered throughout its story, beautiful touches of pathos and an earnestness of rpose, mingled with real sincerity of feeling. Dunstan Kirke is an interesting character, a good reproduction of Tennyson's Farmer Allen—but what may be artistic in a poem ia just as likely to be dull in a play. That is not the trouble in this case. Mr. Coaldock more than fills the character, and to his acting is due whatever credit wins. This fine artist was applauded vigorously, and at the close of the third act there was a profound realism in his cry of despair and his wild actions which was effective in the highest sense. The acting of Miss Effie Elisler seemed to us, however, the most interesting part of the perforce it was natural acting, eoually notable for the truthfulness ana method. Grace and delicacy, without affection— these are the characteristics pf her method. The truthfulness of her art is due to the fact that she works with both heart and mind. If an impersonation can be fitly described by a tingle word, we may say that Miss Ellsler's Hasel Kirke was womanly—which implies pathos without sentimentality, tears without whining, ease without posing. The performance ran smoothly until the end.

A CORBBSPONDENT writing from this dty to tho Indianapolis Herald says: The spirits of the victims of the boiler explosions, at the distillery, are said to indulge In nocturnal matinees in the warehouse of that establishment. Empty barrels form quadrilles and dance hollow rattling dances, bolted doors fly open without assistance, and tho bravest dogs about the place carefully deposit their tails between their legs and noiselessly decamp.|
