Mansur, Albert Holmes, George A. Mooch, and ox-Justieo MLlHlion. Those Incorrigible madcaps, William Manchester, William Wuruor, and M.P. Beecher, who have become enormously fat on their own merry-making, and would soon bring others to a like state of obesity if they wore long among them, were also of tho party, and wore tho lifo and soul of tho excursion. Mr.

Loomis took good euro of his clients while on tho cars, feud wlron they arrived at Kankakee they were warmly welcomed by Mr. Qraves and a largo number of the townspeople. Vehicles of all ilcKcriptions were in wailing, and tho pleasure-seekers were soon on tho road to THE FAUat which is about two miles from town. There is no more delightful place in tho whole Slate than Cottage Grove, and it is the envy and Admiration of farmers lor miles around. Tho laud is a for-, tile rolling bluff, and skirts tho picturesque Kankakee River on either side of the main road for nuwo than a mile.

Such portions of it ns ore devoted to tho production of cereals, are in a high statu oi cultivation, and tho remainder 1h heavily Umbered pasture laud, vrhoro stock of every clCHeriptiou cannot but thrive. Tho entire place has been handsomely improved with an cyo single to tho brooding of fancy horses, and any portion who is practically interested in this agreeable pursuit Mould richly improve spare lime by paying it a visit. Tho party was pleased with everything it noticed in passing along, but became astonished at a spectacle which presented itself when tho end of tho journey was readied. IN A LITTLE (11IOVK in front of the ham, whore tho trotting horses nro as carefully tended as if they ivere so many human benign, a temporary shod had been erected, and beneath it. surrounded by famous rounds of roast and corned beef, legs of ham, multitudinous turkeys, ami the other hmumornblo ot cetuim that combine to muko a substantial foaul, stood tho poilly, apvon-clad form of tho veteran caterer, Tom Andrews, who, armed with knife, fork, ami hlcol, was busily engaged in cutting oft immense slices of his good things for whoever needed them.

In this cheerful occupation lus right-hand man, John likewise engaged, and several left-hand men, as they may ho called, woro hard at work in the more muscular employment of Hotting alo mid boor kegs in proper position. Graves himself was rushing around in his peculiar way, culling prying urchins on tho ear, and performing such other laudable acts as ho could to got things in shape, all tho time making excuses for tho delay, which had boon occasioned by a heavy rain-storm in tho morning, that came very near upsetting ah his plans. As an instance of tho care which ho took to receive his visitors properly. it may bo stated that on tho previous evening no hud tho road from tho farm to the town rolled ovor, iu order to make tho riding easy. Tho city folks did not require a second invitation to alight amt go at ns Henry said, for they wore all pretty hungry after their country rido.

In a short spneo of timo the tables wero cleared off, only to be covered again and again us tho day wore on, nud many a bmrol was thrown Juside us comparatively worthless. The people of Kuukakeo booh begun lo arrive iulargo munboiH, for it was a gala day out there, and ono that will long ho remembered, and they woro feasted to their rather content. Eating and drinking over, THE NEXT ENTEUTAINStENT In order was the horseflesh, and a number of the finest thoroughbred brood mares to bo found anywhere, with Legal Tender colts running at their licofM, wore turned into a vacant space to bo looked at. Tho horso-fauclora in tho party wont into ucstaclcs at once, aud, drawing off by tbemoolves, entered Into a lively discussion ot and tho thousund-und-ono terms that are used to describe tho advantage derived by tho horse from careful brooding. Tho stables wore thou inspected, and among the more notable occupants may bo mentioned Legal Tender, King of tbo West, Chicago, Bay Uonry, Kirat, Queen of tbo West) Ciomoutme.

and Nelly. TENDER is known to turfmen everywhere as tho equal, if Hoi the superior, of any stallion iu America. Indeed, many of thorn believe his like does nob exist anywhere. Ho is a brilliant black iu color, nnd was fouled in 1958, iu Trimble County, Ky. The horse has been blind somo six misfortune that, it is thought, can bo remedied by proper surgical treatment, Iu gait ho is a pacer, unit one of the fastest horses of that kind that over stopped on a track, having a record of 2v20 or lower.

It is somewhat singular that none of his get over exhibited tho slightest inclination to puce.

Chicago (Hookey), Bay Henry, and Clementine need not bo described, Their performances mo well known to thosowho havo paid any attention to recent turf events, Kirat is a clmsnut gelding, foaled in 1867, and Is entirely unknown to tbo truck. Uo will innlio a low-down mark, however, ono of those days, uu ho can now trot in tho thirties, and has plenty of undeveloped speed loft. QUEEN or THE WEST has always been an anomaly to horsemen. Her record is only 2:211, but It Is a well-known fact, proved by actual experience, that she has trotted foster 1 nun any horse that was over harnessed np. Her skittish disposition and bud breaking qualities have always operated against her.

and rendered tho handling of her on iho turf an unprofitable. not to suy dangerous, matter, tiho is now 10 years old, and lino condition, and, as she has bad a colt slnco her last truck experience, it is is thought that sho has steadied down snllieiunt to warrant another trial. Thoro is every probability that the people of Chicago will bo given an opportunity to see this wonderful mare this summer, if nob for a raco fur a purse, at least in an exhibition, and it will bo tho aim of her owners to beat Goldsmith celebrated timo with her. They are not alouo iu tho opinion that sho cun do it handily. Tho brown nmro Nolly closes tho list of noted ones.

Among the list of poorly-played games by tho Philadelphia Club this season there aro many miserable exhibitions, but tho utter demoralization which gained possession of some of the phvyeis at different stages of to-day's content against tho Boston Chib took the palm as the worst playing the homo organization has yet exhibited. They woro short of tho services of Graver and York, two of their best men, but Badcliffo covered Bccond'lmso in superb stylo, making two fine double plays and sovotalKoou stops. From the manner in which the gamo started off it was thought a dose contest wua lo he had.

White sent Cummings an easy one which ho stopped and throw badly to first. Tho Bostons scored three in this inning, not ono of which was earned, when they should havo been retired for ono. or perhaps nothing. Philadelphia stock immediately depreciated, and it was wagered that tho Hods would boat them tou runs If not more, which they did not do. A lively ball was used, and the champions corked it around tho Hold fu magnificent stylo, aud rolled up thvoo in the fifth inning, quo of which was earned easily.

By looyo play of thoir antagonists and safe batting, tile llocls managed to ecoro four more before tho end of tho ninth, and, although they wore blanked iu three tunings, twice it was done by more chanco. Tho slid in singles at every opportunity, Egglor malting three out of tho five, lloldsworth and Pabor aid some excellent batting, tho former mailing two hits for throe bases each time, and sending in Eggler at both opportunities. Aftor his long hit in tho ninth inning. IXoldsworth was caught napping at third, and spoiled what otherwise would have boon a good scoro. Tho whole Philadelphia nine, with tho exception of lladcliff and Egplor, played loosely, and, as usual, ran up tho errors at critical points of tho game.

This question has never been decided iu fiuproroo Court, and tho rule cannot therefore bo considered as definitely settled Jn our State till that is done. 1 will now glvo you TEW OF TUB AUTHORITIES upon which my opinion la based, nud leave it for you, to decide whether I am correct or not. Judge Dillon, in Ida admirable work on municipal corporations, 2, page 572, Jaya down tbla ruloio the following tonne: Tho language by which tho power to open atreeta and take private properly for that purpose, le tumidly conferred upon municipal corporations TUoy may at any time, before taking possession of tbo property under completed proceedings, or before tbo final continuation, recede from or discontinue tbo proceedings they have Instituted. This limy bo done unices It is otherwise provided by Legislative cnaclroont, ntany timo before vested rlgbU in tbo others have attached.

Until tbo of damages have been made, tbo amount cannot bo known, and it is reasonable that after having accortatuad tbo expense of tbo project, tbo corporation should have a discretion to go on with it or not as it tit. TUB 80PUBME OOUIIT OP UAIITLANP, In Ibo cneo of OralT Pnlmcr, 10 Maryland, 54, held that tho City of lluUSmoni was not bound, by tho more Inquisition of damages, although coullrmud by tho Court, to pay the amount awarded, but could, nevertheless, abandon tho location lu nuoalhm; that tho Judgment ami confirmation simply decided the value of tbo ground, aud that payment or leader of tho value la necessary to give tho city title to tho VlliUho cano of tbo Stale of Maryland vs. Graves ot ID Maryland, 11.V1, It was held by the same court that tho dedication of private property fop publlo uso la not complete tmtli the proprietor in paid or tendered tho value of his property na by tbo inquest or oaaeaamont. No preliminary atop prior to actual payment or tender no llxcs the corporation au to prevent tho abandonment of tho condemnation or of (ho of the Oily of fit, Joseph vq, Hamilton ot Missouri cato where proceedings bad been commenced for opening street, and uu assessment of damages to tbo property-holder hud been made ami continued, Ibo Huprome Court of Missouri held, ou a suit for payment, as follows; I have no doubt that the city may dlamfim its proceedings at any time before dual Judgment lu tho Circuit Court, and then the only liability that would ho Incurred would be tho expenses, fio If, on account of excessive damages, it being unwise or ImiwllUo to proceed, It might abandon the work. If the city elects to abandon tbo oniorpriee, and not to tube tho property, there is no divestiture of (be title from tlm owner, and ho la not sulltlod to pay from tho public," (Judgi Norton here wpleua extmU Iwmilw decisions of Iho Supremo Court of Missouri, Louisiana, Now York, and Now Jersey, Umt only go to confirm tbo foregoing and strengthen position.) In tho enno of tho Corporation of New Yorkv.

Maps, Cth Johnson Oh. Nop. id, OUAMOBtit.On KKHT AATH I "Perhaps thn boiler opinion Is that tho Corporation are not bound to go on, but may recede and abandon their plan at nay time before tbo Commissioners of Assessments shall have reported, and their report shall bare been confirmed. On tho couflnnnilouof tbe report of tbo Oommlsslonors, rights then become acquired and rested In tho parlies rospoctlrely. Tho corporation becomes seized, and may take possession of the land, and the owners become entitled to tbo damage assessed.

Xu the caso of City of Joliet rs.VTood judue of Will Circuit Court recently decided where Ibe condemnation for streets bad boon made end confirmed by tbo Courtt That a municipal corporation, at any time before final confirmation of tbo report of the Commissioners of assessment, and before taking actual possession of tbo land, have tbo right to abandon tho proceedings in toto. That the rights of tbe city end tho landowner tiro mutual and reciprocal; that there is no luvcsllturo of title in tho City Corporation of land taken for public uso, whether for streets or other purposes, till actual possession la tnkon. possession cannot bo taken by (ho municipal authorities (111 tho damages are paid. xvukuovb otiif.ii vEomox might bo cited, and at greater length, but I deem them) Huillclcnt for my present purpose. As to tbo expediency or propriety of passing tho ordinance and abandoning the Improvement, that Is.

of course, a matter concerning which tbo responsibility rosta with tho Common Council, Very rcspcolfalty, Jesse Nouton, Corporation Counsel, THE KAIXKOAD WAR. A mooting- in tbo Sixteenth Ward. A mooting of tho property-holders on tho lino of Southport avouuo waa hold yesterday ovenlug iu the saloon of n. Hasman, on tbo corner of Southport and Webster avenues. Tbe chair was taken by Aid.

Mahr. Tho first speaker was Ann. stout, who read to tho mooting tho following word of advice, which ho stated had boon prepared for him by ouo of the most eminent members of tho Chicago Bar, a Mr. Clyde: On Saturday morning next tho motion for an Injunction rcalratnlugiUo railroad companion from tiding tbo track ou Southport avenue will bo argued before Judge Parwoll. It la important that tbo propertyowners have this injunction granted, for.

In case they do, aud flitch position Is maintained, then tbo companies must pay oil property owners who xnako their claims lu court tho damugo which each has suffered. X'or this purpose all property owners should como Into court and become parties to this suit, as they have a right to do. This will uwo cost and expense, as if this Is not dune, each person will bo obliged to commenco his own suit and pay all tho expense of it; whereas In this case all panics can Join, uud save hundreds of dollars of expense. All these property-owners can combine and fight tins one suit for Just about tbo same cost that each ouo would havo to pay If ho acted for himself, or brought his own suit. Ho regretted that Nature had not created him a Dutchman.

Tho fact was that ho was a Dutchman who could only speak English, Ho assured the mooting that ho had not boon bought, that ho was no tbiof. It didn't cost him anything to gob bis legal advice. Ho was the best friend the Slxtooutu Ward had got. There was not a man who would put as much mouoy into tho tiling os ho would. Ho was Stout! Only ouo man need begin a suit, aud all the rest could bocomo parties increasing the cost in each caao, by attending at Judge Court on Saturday morning.

By ho was straight. If 8500,000 woro put ou that window, it wouldn't buy him. Hero Aid. Mahr cried out: Lot mo have a chance, Stout to which that Alderman replied wrathily: on till I get through, Aid. Stout continued: Tho Company will not bo abio to run a car, not ovon a horse-car or a band-car over tbo track until every propertyholder hod boon paid tho damages sustained by him.

A will wo got it The Alderman annihilated the speaker with a glance and an oath and proceeded. He wanted ten men to come torward to make their claims under oath at tho City Clerk's office tho next morning. At tho conclusion of his speech. Aid. Stout made his way among tho meeting, treating indiscriminately to boor aud C-cont cigars, ana trying to ilnd out who tho man was who wanted to hang him.

Ho was mast vehement in his assertions, that, when ho voted for tho authorizing tho laying of tho track, ho was not cognizant of what ho was doing, and in sotting forth that since tbe Monday previous ho had not had a meal in bis own house, but bad. managed to spend 8100 iu aid of tho cause of his conelitnoots. ALE. KAUtt mado a speech In German, in which ho repudiated warmly tho charges of want of faith which many of tho property-holders had preferred against himself and his colleague. In tho middle of tho effort a long, lank creature disturbed him by interjecting remarks of an unparliamentary character.

Aid. Mabr invited him to tako tho stump, which bo did, launching forth iu low Gorman a torrent of abuse against railroads and railroad companies, especially tho Chicago Pacilia. When tbo speaker, Zimpol by namo, had talked for twonty-flvo minutes, the patience of Aid. Stout was exhausted, and ho invited tho speaker to desist. This only doubled his How of eloquence.

Horo Aid. Stout roso to a point of order. Tho point of order was, want no back-talkers round Fivo more boors, Mr. Haamaul Tho wrath of tho lattor party at tho apparently interminable eloquence of tho man who sent lonh low Gorman at tho rato of 000 words per minute, burst its control, and shouting out, Gott Almighty, ho is making a stoomp-sploh 1 Ho has cot do cow py do tail, and no ho removed tho speaker from tho chair, into which leaped tho ovor ready Aid. Btout, who just wanted to address ouo word to tho mooting." Tbo mooting at this point became irremediably partisan.

ONE-HAW YELT.KD the other half screamed Stout," and in the midst of tbo turmoil Zimpol managed to scramble into tho chair again. Aid. Stout immediately tried to oust him, an act which was greeted by tho partisans of Zimpol with such expressions as him go mind tbo old etovo pipe," (tho lattor ignominious epithet being actually intended for an Alderman of tho People's party), and, moro unmistakable stiff, with tho STILL A TUIJtD JJIDDEU for an audionco appeared in tho person of alittlo man namod Louis Kolko, who aurmonuted a chair at tho end of the room, and thundered out, in a voico which ho moat have borrowed lor tho occasion from a much larger man, that ho had douo more for the Sixteenth Ward than Aid. Alahr ami Btouc put together. This was tbo spark that touched off the train.

Those Aldermen and tboir intimate friends rushed for tho reckless Kolko, and, to borrow an expression, it looked aa if Korth Sldo sausagemeat was ou tho point of being manufactured. The appearance of half-a-dozen policemen, however, hindered trouble, and tho mooting DIVIDED ITSELF INTO TWO PORTIONS, one, led by tbo Aldermen, going to a hall further north on Qlybouca avenue; tho other, uudor Mr. Kolko, moving in the direction of lligUz'a tavern, ou the coeuorof Southport andOlybomn avouuca. At tho Aldormanio mooting things wore conducted iu a more orderly manner. Aid.

Stout, frothing over with eloquence, insisted upon doing all tbo talking, aud it required all tbo strength and persuasiveness of Aid. Mohr to keop him corked. Aim. Mxnn Btatod that both ho and Aid. Stout bad done all they could for them couaiHtontly, and that any ouo who said anything to tho contrary wan a liar.

Ho called upon all present who bad any damages agalust tho Company to repair to Judge court on Monday morning, ana there make atUdavits to tbo nature and extent of their claim. Aid. Stout Insisted upon tea nroporty- Uoldocs present rising in token of their agreemont to moot him next morning in order to place ou lUo lu the City otllco their allidavits of damage Buffered. After one or two speeches by property-holders, in which tho Bontlmont was expressed that tho laying of a track was a misfortune which could not now bo hoipod, and that tho best thing was to combine and mako a stout tight for damages, a motiou to adjourn brought tho mootiug to a close. TUB OTHEII MISBTISO, which was formed chiefly for tho purpose of hearing tho grandiloquent ZSrapol, and of giving tho Workingmen's Association a show, was also orderly in its character.

Mr. Jeffers was elected to tho chair. Speeches wore made by Mr. Nollto, Mr. tfiinpol, and Mr.

Karl KUnge, all prominent members of tho Chicago Workingmen's Association. Tho business dono at tho meeting was the passage of tho following resolutions Jtegoh'td, That wo, tbo cUJxono of Southport avenue, not knowing uml niwcr buying known tbo charier given to tho Chicago As Pncillo Head, and who own our properly lying on auld lino, doiuund that tbo Common Council protect our rights agalnat euch Ilallrond In every manner. Otherwise wo aboil huvo to gala our own right a by force, That Jake llobm and Aid. Stout did not act rightly In tho llrat lu police force lo j.rolpot the railroad lu tboir Humloy coup d'etat; and accoml, lu voting fur lha ordinance granting the right of way to tbo railroad, Bofoio the mooting adjourned a local Qtetipu of the Workingmen's Association won formed, with a membership, it won claimed, of 201 momborn, though how no largo a number could have boon authored from a body not numbering moro than fifty at tho outside la dlllloult to dotormluo. amusements.

nojra at M'vioitim'fl theatre. Tho Into Thomas Bobortaon bequeathed to tho world a treasure which not many of hie generation could leave, a cluster of dramatic Jewels as bright and pure and sparkling as thoso which iho world seeks for Us decoration. Llko diamonds too, Robertson's comedies must posbobb a fixed value amid all tho fluctuation of taste, above and beyond imitation. Ho has loffc what no other man con supply, and in mouy years bis contemporaries have failed to produce anything which can sparkle beside his exquisite orootioua. He has given us a picture of tho purest and iondorost side of human nature.

His heroes have tho polish of iho times with tho heroism which is of ail time bis women are puro, wise, aud witty. His dramas wo ethereal In their ideality his plots are little idyla of domestic life; bin loves are fresh and simple, and so far beyond the oommoa-plaoo as to elevate tbo passions with all tbo strength of tho mote massive dramatists of tho oldou time. It is tho arrangement and delicacy of situation, bright and witty dialogue, purity of sentiment, and rare ingenuity, blended with the simple energy of sincere purpose that make his pieces what they wo to us, and what they will bo to coming times, so long as human nature remains what it la. whoso very title endears It to ns, is one of the host of this school. It has boon soon before in this city, and always fairly played.

Ab In all Robertson's plays, there ia no single part. All are good. It boon reduced by tho author until tho omission of a lino in its composition would bring tho delicate fabrio to tho with tho crash of a rulu, but with tho noiseless downfall of a storm of feathers. Tho star who would choose it to appear la must bo in love with his art, because he has hero none of tbo fictitious advantages that stars demand. Not a lino can bo amplified to bring him into prominence without adding an unsightly excrescence.

It is only an artist whoso fame is made who can dare to throw away an opportunity of shining by controat. And in spito of all this, it ia doubtful if Mr. Sothom over appeared in a moro delightful part to an audiouco than in tho part of Alfred Dorrison, alias Col, John White. Ho has devoted his whole time to tho rehearsal of tho comedy, and to its production with tho symmetry of tho author's thought. Tho result is a performance without parallel on tho stage of McVickot'a Theatre.

Anything more natural than tho action aud dialogue in it cannot bo conceived. The epigrammatic forco of tho repartee, which darts about tho stogo like summer lightning, is brought out with a vividness actually startling, Tho dolicato touches which the groat artist applies to tho realization of a situation ore beyond criticism. They aro something to studv, to enjoy, to discover. And what ho does 'himself, Mr. Sothoru has reflected upou tho company.

Anything more realistic than Mr. impersonation of tho loafor and curd-sbnrpor, Copl. Mounlvojfc, would bo offensive; anything loss so would bo nnlluiahod. It is a perfect equipoise. Mrs.

Allen, too, is a remarkably apt student. Always good, with tho suggestions of so finished an artist nb Mr. aoihoru sbo is surprising. Her pathetic capabilities have a rare clmnco In tho part of jl lrn, Miss part of Lucy JJon'ison is a light and girlish sketch, very uonb and pretty, and abounding iu naivoto and graco. Ail of which requirements Miss Walton can fully supply.

Mr. Ealuford and Mrs. Myers need only to bo montionod, os both woro in harmony with tho others. Indeed, tho announcement by tho management that was to bo produced iho first timo In Chicago in a proper has boon juatiliod, It will bo repeated tonight. tueatiie.

undo Man and Wife ca not a now drama, Us performance at Theatre ulaccs in tho light of an entirely novel production, iuo story upon which it is founded will bo remembered ns highly melodramatic, with tho robust and ovouly-dovolopod plot common to all tho works of Mr. Collins, and with a variety of incident aud forco ox climax which render it a highly popular drama. With such a company ns Mr. Daly has at it becomes ouo of the most effective of modern pieces. As with others of Mr.

Daly's preparation for tho stage, Man and Wifo includes a number of parts equally important to tho fabno of iho drama. Thus tho amount of individual excellence required forbids a perfect presentation except by a company of Immense resources. As with so in a greater degree with Man and Wife; tho performance is a marvel of completeness. It is difficult to prouounco who deserves tho highest praise, for every character is a distinct aud necessary creation, and each is played with such profusion of detail aa to possess tho mind in itself, Tho portrait of Geoffrey Ddamayne by Mr. Hackihs, is admirable, it is very different from any of those attempted in the city.

The artist has embodied the animal character of tiffs typo of humanity with surprising amplitude, ills advantages of physlquo and voice, together with great force of manner, aid him la presenting, without reasonable doubt, tho best picture of this typo ou tbo American stage. His dogged stupidity, perfect self-assurauco, and oblivion of the abstract rights of any description, aro well illustrated in tho econo with Mr. Tho sheer brute was hidden behind tho very transparent veil of brooding which luxurious surroundings must necessarily spread over tho most vicious. Wo Uavo already spoken In admiring criticism of Hiss Ada and tho first impression mado in must bo continued to everybody who has boou her play tho port of Anno Sylvester, Thin ia as graceful and vigorous aa anything we have aeon for a long time. Alias manner ia cool without being cold, and forcible by tho voab reserve of power rather than its expression.

She ia suited to tho character of Antic and imparts a quiet dignity such aa tho mind acknowledges. Her voice, which is thoroughly In harmony with hot manner, has a awootly-musical soothing effect, and aomothing of that quality which Miss Noilaon possesses iu quiet ami pathetic situations. Anne -Sylucster is thrown into many of those, to the delight of the audience, f6r those tones are very pure and sweet, Tho uprightness of her figure would bo ungraceful in some women 5 it ia one of tho most impoifcant elements of strength in her acting, and contrasts with tho softness and delicacy of yoico and touch. There ore many pathetic scenes, as at tho hotel, tho interview with Delamayne and Manche and ouu of groat dramatic force in (bo mooting of tho two rivals for that flue animal's affections. Miss IVtnuy Davenport last evening tras radiantly beautiful, and superbly attired.

The lighter acouoa in which lihneha lundie figures most conspicuously wore made tho moat of for tho display of port and piquant humor, and a pleasant, frank, easy, captivating manner which are equally meritorious and attractive. Mr, Lewis as Lundie was vary entertaining. Thoro was no drollery about tho personation, but good, faithful, and vary effective acting. Mr. DavJdgo os Htsnopriggs deserved the highest praise for all but hiu Scotch dialect, which is not altogether what It should bo.

But Mr. Duvidgo could not ho anything hut excellent, even with this trilling defect. Mr. the trainer, was, in its way, very good indeed. Mrs.

Gilbert's Hester Hclhrldge was equally dosorviug, bliss Bara Jewett had little to do In the part of Mrs. Gienham, but of what littlu there was sho made a very pretty aud natural act. Miss Jewett is a very graceful lady, who ccaaa her linos with clearness undproolslbu. There was nothing, or next to nothing, deserving other thou favorable comment, and Man and Wife may bo considered a moro pronounced success than oven 10-uight will bo ono of groat interest to lovers ot comedy. For tho only during their stay hero, tho company will play Loudon Assurance." Miss Fanny Davenport will ploy Lady Gog Spanker, a part for which, above all othors, sho Is suited.

Tho cast will bo a very strong ouo, with Mr. Lewis as Meddle, Miss Jowott as Grace, Mr. Harkins as Manic, and Mr. Fishor as Sir Jlarcourt, At tho matiuoo to-morrow, Divorce will bo repeated. Tins ADULIUU.

Crowded hoiisos have attended every perform aucoof at this popular house, ovory evening this wook, tho special ants being loudly applauded, Tho troupe of Arabs in tuoir extraordinary gymnastic performances deserve tho highest praise.

Ho told his condition to a follow-adventurer named Hitchcock, who woe a little hotter off, and tho latter promised to boo him Tho promise woa kept, and when, after two months of illness, Osborn aroao from hlo bod, his friend handed him $250 to hoar hifl expenses and to procure tools, saying to him, If over you got able you can pay mo back, but do not worry yourself and injure your health in trying to malm the money too Ono year and a half from that time Osborn sent Hitchcock $1,260, with tho following note i pay interest on inonasmp. Hla labors proved remunerative, and by 1870 bo was worth $360,000.
