NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS ON MATTERS AROUND TOWN.

What a precious lot of dades we have growing up about us, what agonies they ndulge in, and to what excess their con ceit frequently carries them! Heard an anecdote not long ago of the way one of *hese dudes endeavored to make "mash" on a very pretty young lady who van a member of a dramatic company laying hero. In the dining room of the hotel he heard her remark that she would like to take a rido, it was such a beautiful day. He went down to the office and indited a very graceful note in which he •aid he had heard her remark, and would ae happy to take her riding at any time she might select. The note was dispatched by the bell boy, who returned in a short time with her reply that the young lady "declined to accept cour esies at the hands of a stranger." He then attempted io speak to her on the stairs, but she frigidly replied that it was not a habit with her to converse with gentlemen to whom she had never been introduced. The young man then took a "drop/' and retired, doubtless thoroughly disgusted. How the story got out I do not know, but the young man's friends tell it on him as a very gqod joke

What would you think of a man who while walking along the street, should lose a pocket-book containing a thousand dollars, and then upon its being picked up by a man honest enough to return it, should reward him with a cigar? Cut out of a pretty small pattern isn't he? Well Just such an incident occurred on one of the principal stroets one day this week, the losor being a countryman ""The money was found by a crippled ftofcan, a streot peddler, who had scarcely

Isnovered its contents when the owner 3amo along, looking for his book, and questioned the peddler. The latter returned his find, whereupon tho owner put his hand in his pocket aud pulled out a cigar and handed it to the peddler Ho would probably have given him two but for fear of sudden enlargement of tho hoart. Tho man who has no more 'hankfuuless or generosity in his makeup than that is not deserving of prosper ity. If thoro was any way to settlo it I would wager that tho cigar in question was vile enough to half stille a man in tho noxt block.

By tho timo this is printed the political fight of 1880 will havo boon dcclarod on by tho nomination of a Democratic township ticket, and will bo followod by the Republicans on Monday. Tho laltor will undoubtedly re-nominate Trusteo Reich^rt, who has made an honest and efficient officer, and is thoroby ontltled to a reUomination. H. C. Loekman, J. F. Murphy, Oalob Oartroll, Jacob Stoimnohl fflrtl prosont incumbents), will be candi'atos for justico of tho peace in addition co A. II. Felaontlial and Capt. Jamos Ilook. Frod Cornell will probably be nominated for assessor, as ho made a •trong race once beforo, aiul Is well quulliiod for that position,

Tlio April election onco out of the way ho appetite for political oxcltcment will have been sufficiently whetted for the day oloctlon, in which councilmen only '•'111 bo chosen. At this point the blood.vill begin to boil, and thoro will bo imp in tho temperature uutll after Octo r. If you think thoro Isn't going to bo warm timo just look at tho list of mor ho aro talked of for nomination: Clerk -Samuel Itoyco, .1. M. Han key, Hug! quet, Democrats II. C. Pugh, John ('.

The man who made the assault upon Mrs. Dr. Wilson-Moore and Mrs. Sleight for robbery, or possibly a baser crime, has been discovered in the person of William G. Murray, who has served a term in the penitentary and has an oth erwise odorous character. Yesterday he plead guilty to attempted robbery, and was sentenced by Judge Mack to four teen years ir the penitentiary, with a tine of $100 and disfranchisement for life. The sentence may look severe, but the sentiment of this community will uphold Judge Mack in his efforts to make this locality a terror to evil doers,

THE LIBERATED SLA VES. This play, written by Judge Eggleston sometime since, has undergone careful revision and will bo presented to our people sometime during April. It re mains to bo seen whether the Judge is to develop into a (successful dramatist or not. A dramatist has a difficult task, for ho must not only succeed in attracting and holding attention, but he must in fuse into his intellectual work, action and give a panorama of all the incidents, and breath into those incidents a spirit of realism that must make tho auditor not only see, but feel facts of fancy to be actual life.

,„The Passing Show,

SHOWS AND SHOW FOLKS,

Two magnificent audiences at Naylor's have this week greeted two old time favorites—Maggie Mitchell and Joe Emmett. It is with a feeling of no little sadness that we witness 4he perform ances of these artists—one growing old with age, and the other phi before his time, from dissipation. One with voice showing advancing years, the other with the once musical yoice marred and broken with excesses. Emmet has been ofae of the most successful actors on the American stage, but like too many others of his profession, he could not stand prosperity. A little over twenty years ago he was a house painter working at his trade in St. Louis for three dollars a day. He possessed a voice of rare compass and flexibility and often entertained his comrades with a song,

ager of a variety theatre discovered his ability and engaged him. His progress was rapid, and in a few months was earning a large salary. A. little later he undertook a dialect part in a play, and thenceforth his fortune was made. If it had not been for whisky there would have been no limit to his success.

How different with Maggie Mitchell. Her's has been a pure life, a life of industry, of honest endeavor. She must be real old now—along in the fifties somewhere. But if we close our ears and use only our e^es she is the old time tiny fairy, never more than thirteen, though she sometimes makes believe she is a young lady. We laugh, and sometimes find our eyes moist, and say, "the little dear," just as if she were a baby. And finally we come away believing in the immortality of talent aud fascination in a warm-hearted, open-naturfed woman. There are the same bird-like motions of the head, the same shining eyes and mobile mouth the same slenderest waist in the world the little feet that danced the shadow dance twenty or-more years ago the same affectionate, michievous nature. If Maggie Mitchell ever dies, the people who comb out her pinkyblondo hair and prepare her for a last last sleep may find some wrinkles on the little face, but they will also find themselves wondering whether she will be grown up in the next world or always stay a child

George Mahare has decided to go upon the stage, and will immediately join the Wilbur dramatic company, of which Sam Young, of this city, is a member.

George Wilson, of Barlow, Wilson & Rankin's minstrels, remarked to a re porter recently: "Barlow has left us thank God! He quietly sneaked out leaving tho show in Rochester. I am truly glad he is gone, for he has been like a big chain around my neck for throe years. Carl, Rankin joined us, and now we aro going ahead with a vim."

Billy Kcrsand's minstrels kept an aud encc in a jolly good humor at Naj'lor's Opera House last night, ttftd- will- play again this afternoon and to-night. Billy Kersands is a host in himself, and never fails to keep tho house in a roar while he is in sight. Wallace King, the best colored tenor traveling Billy Reynolds the aged daVkey, and Cicero Reed grotesque, deserve particular mention The drill of the zouaves and the singing of tho quintet called out applause. Tho chorus singing aud the instrumental part wero quite good. At the popular cheap prices there will no doubt be a big audience to-night.

Every night next weok Naylor's opera house will be occupied by the Bennett A Moulton comic opera company, in a report oi re of tho leading operas. "Because it plays at popular cheap prices, .do,n't think it a cheap company. It is by no means such. Read what tho Evansville Journal says.

The opera house was packed to the doors Inst night to sec the performance of the Masot by the Bennett & Moulton-opera\com-panv. ('heap.prices did It. Thirty cents for the best reserved seats to see a capital opera company, with capable leading nrtists, good chorus and orchestra, Is getting It down pretty tine. The fame of thciienneU it Moulton company had preceded it, aud the hundreds of people who thronged the theatre last night expected to see a good show. TO say that their expectations were fully realized Is to state nothing but thesimple truth. The company gave a splendid performance of the lascot, and their efforts to please were re^ arded with the heartiest applause.

As Bettina, Miss I^oulse Kissing added to the reputation she made here last fall, when

she played "Yum-Yum" with tho ^Vllbur opera company. Hhe took the house by storm, and may now consider herself an established Evansville actress. Miss Mamie
