LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCE ft FRIDAY, OCIOJBER 7. 1881. iy Lancaster intelligencer. FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1881. The State Campaign. "What looked as if it would be a list less campaign in Pennsylvania ibis fall is beginning te assume an air of activity and importance. It will be fiercely fdught during the coming month and its results will be awaited as events of sig nificance in ear state politics for years te come most likely, and, in connection with the outcome of the struggle in Xew Yerk, may be a sign-beard in national movements. Mr. "Wolfe's candidacy has of course largely contributed te this state of things. The vote which he gets may net be a fair test of the strength of the .Republican opposition te the Cameron Cameren Quay domination but it will pretty accurately gauge its cour age and determination. If it should meuut up te 10,000 in Philadelphia and te 10,000 or L'0,000, mere in the state out lying the city it will of course beat Baily and the King, but it will de far mere. It will prove 100,000 votes reaily te join in the revolt when successful re volt is assured, and it will materially modify if net entirely change Republi can leadership in Pennsylvania. But it is unfair te assume thai Mr. Wolfe's candidacy is the only figure of prominence in this campaign. The JJem JJem ecratic convention, though larger than Wolfe's and less harmonious in its pro ceedings, was net a whit less free, h"ii est, independent and outspoken. Men of all parties who sympathize with Mr. Wolfe's views will find them reflected in the deliverances of the Williamsport convention. It put itself squarely en record upon the questions which he se emphatically declares, and all geed men knew, concern the state's honor and its material interests. The Democratic platform arraigns the Republican party for faithlessness te public trust and for fraudulent administration of the stale government. The proof sustains the allegation that " the Republican party has encouraged, practiced and shielded spoliation of the state treasury and mis use, of the public funds, bribery of legis laters, undue favor te corporations and monopolies, an unnecessarily high rate of interest en the state leans, a shameless prostitution of the pardoning power, a system of wholesale waste and pecula pecula latien in the ordinary expenditures of the government, and a harassing and plundering exercise of municipal franchise and abuse of local trusts " Every charge herein contained can be verified by Republican authority. The Democratic pledge is for better things. The Republican assertion is that the thincs of the past arc geed enough ; and the men responsible for them have the unqualified endorsement of the conven tion that nominated Baily ; they made Baily ; they arc Baily. The Democratic candidate, like Wolfe, has done soineservico te the state, and in the same arena. His record has had no Maw picked in it. On all questions of public policy his votes wcre in acceid with the platform en which lie stands, his public and private pledges held him te it, his private interests as well as his views of public questions commit him te opposition te monopolies and te honest men in office. These are the essential considerations for a state trei surer at this time te keep in view. Mr. Neble has strict regard for them, we believe, as shown by his professions ; we are further assured by these who knew him best that his intelligence an J discrimi nation are equal te his honesty and his vigor. naturally callous about such things, but no physician of decent feelings would have se far violated what he knew would be the desire of the widow as te take from the body she buried any part of it and that without her knowledge. Bliss is net only a quack as a physician but he is a brute as a man. Tnii Philadelphia newspapers, which have been quite cold te Mr. Gewen's apprehension that the Pennsylvania rail rail read was seeking the control of the Reading read, have awakened te alarm new that Mr. Vanderbilt is min gling in the light. They see great harm te Philadelphia in letting a Xew Yerker get held of a Philadelphia read. It is net, perhaps,altogether healthy for Phila delphia, but is certainly wholesemer than te let the Pennsylvania railroad get it, and reduce Philadelphia te the state of a town in the grasp of a single railroad corporation. Mr. Gewen saves Phila delphia from herself in embracing Van derbilt ; that is if Vanderbilt don't cheat him arid sell out te the Pennsyl vania ; which he is quite likely te de. Mr. Gewen is hopeful and trustful : and his hope and trust get him into quag, mires which only his superhuman ener gy can get him out of. MINOR TOPICS.

The paper is conducted by the editorial committee, the Reverends KIesc, Hrickciistciu and Hark. Tvimieiii fever is unusually prevalent in Bosten at the present time, and is exciting sonic alarm among the people because of the increased fatality attending it. It is net confined te any particular locality. Diphtheria, which a few mouths age was very prevalent, has markedly subsided, and there has been no case of small-pox reported since June. A Disrupted Parly. The Philadelphia Times thinks that President Arthur has vindicated his sagacity in the settlement of the Repub lican troubles in Xew Yerk, Since, though his friends were beaten, he lias lias ne split in the' party and the respon sibility for the success of the campaign is upon the Ilalf-Brced faction who will be made te shoulder a party defeat aud after it be fair game for the presidential ven geance. It is altogether likely that this is te be the result of the New Yerk con vention's action, and that the sullen submission of the friends of Conkling is prompted by the foretaste of the geed time coming for them. Still the sagacity of President Arthur :is a political leader is nanny exiiimifu m me werK et a con vention which slaughters his friends. His influence totally failed te secure a union of his party, through mutual concession. It is in effect disrupted, although the beaten party is in spired by policy and the hope e sweet revenge te repress thedemorstratienof its wrath. That no doubt is wise, and if it is theresult of Arthur's counsel en titles him te be considered ordinarily sagacious ; but he would much better have wen repute as a political leader if he had shown the ability te harmonize ms party adherents in fact. It is a task in which Blaine aud Garfield failed ; and Conkling and Arthur show thus far quite as little ability te meet it. The truth is that the Republican party is in that condition of madness in which the ancients held that the gods put these whom they would destroy. The cohesion of the party is gene. It has outlived its vigor. Its own people are tired of it. Party chains no longer bind it. Rcpub licans feel sere towards each ether. Most of them feel mere kindly towards a Democrat than towards one of the op posing faction of their own party. It is a dissolving view that we new have of ic ; and President Arthur will need a geed deal mere than human sagacity te save the pieces and cement the vessel. Or the phrase that " te the victors be long the spoils ! " General Jacksen is uet the author. It was first used as a pelit ical phrase in 18-11, when the new Harrison administration removed Democratic offi cers who had been from twelve te twenty years in office. They took it from a speech delivered by Senater Marcy iu January, 18:12, in the United States Senate, in which, speaking of a certain class of peli ticians, he said : "They sec nothing wrong iu the military rule that te the victors be long the spoils of the enemy." The Whigs iliac years afterwards quoted the i.u,u;r iJiii t ui mis semence out ei its con nection, and pretended te regard it as a Democratic plea for removals from office en political grounds, which should estep the Democrats from complaining of the removals made by Whigs. ing a hospital en the campus for the benefit of the students, $40,000 ; do mestic and foreign mission societies, $10, 000.

The interior of the church was richly decorated, the puipit anu vicinity especially being one mass of rich flowers and plants. In his letter of December 20, accepting his cabinet place new first published Blaine said te Garfield : " I can but re gard it as somewhat remarkable that two men of the same age, entering Congress at the same time, influenced by the same aims, and cherishing the same ambitions, should never for a single moment, in IS years of close intimacy, have had a mis understanding or a coolness, and that our friendship has grown with our growth and strengthened with our strength. It is this fact which has let me te the con clusion embodied iu this letter ; for how ever much, my dear Garfield, I might ad mire you as a statesman, I would net enter your cabinet if I did net believe in you as a man and love you as a friend." Mks. Garfield is entitled te a great deal of sympathy for the violence that has been done her fee'Jngs since her hus- band's death by the physicians, in need lessly detailing the condition of the body, but especially in failing te restore the internal organs for burial with the trunk and limbs.

Story of the Tragedy at tne Washington Depot. Iu his autobiography, given te the New Yerk Herald, Guiteau, the president's as sassin says : The time that I was pressing the Paris consulship began about the first week in March and terminated, I should say, about the last of April. During these weeks I was pressing it aud expected te get it. I have never had any final an swer either from the president or from Mr. Blaine in reference te my having the Paris consulship. It did net have slightest influence n me one way or ether in reference te my removing president "I conceived the idea of removing president," Guiteau declares, "pending the answer, aud as far as the Paris consul ship had any influence en my mind at all it would have deterred me from the act, because I expected as a matter of fact that I would get the Paris consulship. After I conceived the idea of removing the presi dent I did net go te Mr. Blaine or near the president te press my application. About two or three weeks intervened from the time that I called at the president's when the doorkeeper said, ' Mr. Guiteau. the president says it will be impossible for him te sec you te-day,' te the time that I conceived the idea of removing him, dur ing which time I was waiting patiently for my answer, which, as a matter of fact, I have never yet received. I had been pressing the president aud Mr. Blaine for an answer aud I thought that it would be better for me te keep away from them. They had my address and I thought if they concluded te give me the Paris consulship they would notify me or I should see an announcement of the appointment in the paper, aud, as I have stated, after I con ceived the idea of removing the president I did net go near the president or Mr. Blaine. My conception of the idea of re moving the president was this : Mr. Couk Ceuk liu resigned ou Monday, May 18, 1881. On the following Wednesday I was in bed. I think I retired about 8 a'cleck. I felt de pressed aud perplexed en account of the political situation, and I retired much ear lier thau usual. 1 felt wearied iu mind ami body, aud I was in my bed about nine o'clock aud I was thinking ever the polit ical situation, aud the idea flashed through my brain that if the president was out of the way everything would go better. At firsL this was a mere impression. It star tled me, but the next morning it came te me with renewed force, aud I began te read the papers with my eyes en the pos sibility that the president would have te go. aud the mere I read, the mere 1 saw the complication of public affairs, the mere I waa impressed with the necessity of removing him. This thing continued for about two weeks. I kept reading the papers and kept being impressed, aud the idea kept bearing aud bearing aud bearing down upon me that the only way te unite the two factions of the Republican partv and save the republic from going into the hands cf the rebels aud Democrats was te quietly remove the president. "Twe weeks after I conceived the idea my miud was thoroughly settled en the intention te remove the president. I then prepared myself. I sent te Bosten for a copy of my book, -The Truth,' aud I spent a week iu preparing that. I cut out a para graph and a line aud a word here aud there and added one or two new chapters, put some new ideas in it and I greatly im proved it. I knew that it would probably have a large sale en account of the notor iety that the act of removing the president would give me, and I wished the book te go out te the public in proper shape. That was one preparation for it. Anether prepa ration was te think the matter all out in detail and te buy a revolver and te prepare myself for executing the idea. This re quired some two or three weeks, and I gave my entire time and mind in prepar ing myself te execute the completion of re moving the president. I nevcr mentieucd the conception te a living soul. I did most of my thinking iu the park and en the street, and I used te go te the Arlington and the Riggs house daily te read the papers. member where I went particularly ; I think I went te the Riggs, the Arlington or the park. That was after I left the library." Guiteau continues that he watched for Garfield en his return, the following Mon day, at the depot, saw him with his fiicndsandlet him go by. On Thursday he saw him and bis son out riding. " On Friday night after I get my dinner at the Riggs house I went up te my room and I took out my revolver and I put it in mv hip pocket and I had my papers with me, and I thought I possibly might get a chance at him Friday night. I went into Lafayette square and sat there, opposite the White Heuse. lu the Shadow et Death. 'I had net been there a minute before I saw the president walk out of the White Heuse. ' New I thought te myself, I have get a splendid chance at him ; he is all alone ; there isn't any ene areuud him. ' He walked along the east side of the square and down H street. I followed him. He went te Mr. Blaine's house ou Fifteenth street. He walked along and wheu he get ou the sidewalk opposite Mr. Blaine's house he looked up, as if he did net knew the place exactly, and thcu he saw the correct number and walked iu. I followed him along and h was about half way between II street and Mr. Blaine's house, en the opposite side of the street, when he entered the house. I weut into the alley at the rear of 3Ir. Morten's house aud get out my revolver looked at it and wiped it off aud put it back into my pocket. I went ever te the II street steep, at Wormley's, aud I waited there half an hour, I should say, for the presi deut te come out. He came out and Mr. Blaine with him and I waited at Wormley's until they passed me en the opposite side. They walked down II street and en the east side of Lafayette square and through the gate nearest the tiftasury building and into the White Heuse. Mr. Blaine aud the president seemed te be talking with the greatest earnestness. Mr. Blaine was en the left side of the president as they walked along the street. Blaine's right arm was looped iu the president's left arm aud they were engaged iu tlie most earnest conver cenver conver sateon: their heads were verv clese te gether. Blaine was stiking the air every few moments and the president was drink ing it- all iu ; and occasionally the president would strike eat his hand, thereby giving assent te what Mr. Blaine was saying! They seemed te be in a very hilarious state of miud aud delightful fellowship and in peifect accord. This scene made a strik ing impression en me ; AVatchiug an Opportunity. " After I had made up my mind te re move him the idea when I should remove him pressed me, and I was semewhat con fused ou that. I kuew that it would net de te go te the White Heuse aud attempt it, because there were tee many of his em ployees about, audi looked areuud for sev eral days te try and get a geed chance at him : and ene Sunday (the Sundav bofero he went te Leng Branch) I went te his church in the morning. It is a small frame building, and I steed there at the deer a moment. I was a little late ; the services had progressed about one-third. I noticed the prcsidcut sitting near an open window about three feet from the ground, and I thought te myself, 'That would be a geed cnance te get him.' i intended te sheet him through the back of the head and let the ball pass through the ceiling, iu order that no ene clse should be injured. Aud there could net possibly be a better place te remove a man.than at his devotions. I had my revolver iu my possession wheu I first went te tbe church, having purchased it about ten days bofero the president's going te Leng lirancb. mis was the Sunday prier te his leaving for Leng Branch en Saturday. During the whole week I read the papers carefully. I thought it all ever in detail. I thought just what people would talk aud thought what a tremen dous excitement it would create, and I kept thinking about it all the week. i made up my "mind that the next Sunday I would certainly sheet him if he w is in church and I get a geed chance at him. Thursday of the same week I noticed in the paper that he was going te Leng Branch, and en the following Sat urday he did go te the Branch for Mrs. Gar field's health. I went te the depot all prepared te remove him. I had the re volver with me. I had all mv naners nicely prepared. I spoke te a man about a carriage te take me, as I told him, ever near the Congressional cemetery. He said that he would take me ever for $2, and seemed te be a very clever" fellow and glad te get the job. 1 get te the depot about nine o'clock and waited there uutil the president's White Heuso carriage drove up. About twenty-five minutes after nine the president aud his carriage and ser vants aud friends came up. He get out of nis carriage. 1 steed in the ladies' room, it confirmed what 1 had read iu the papers aud what I had felt for a long time te wit, that the president was entirely under Mr. Blaiue'.s influence aud that they were in perfect accord. I may have remained in tne park perhaps half or thrce quarters of au hour, and then I went down te my room at tne lliggs Heuse. 1 took a towel bath in my room and went te bed aud went te sleep. I weke up about 4 o'clock Saturday morning and felt well in mind and body. My miud was perfectly clear in regard te removing the president; Iliad net the slightest doubt about my duty te the Lord aud te the Amcricau people in trying te remove the president, and I want te say here, as emphatically as words can make it, that, from the moment when I fully decided te remove the prcsideut, I have never had the slightest shadow en my mind ; my purpose has been just as clear and just as determined as anything could be. I believed that 1 was acting under a special Divine authority te remove him and this Divine pressure was upeu me from the time when 1 fully resolved te remove him until I actually shot him. It was only by nerving myself te the utmost that I did it at all, and I never had the slight est doubt as te the Divine inspiration of the act, aud that it was ler the best in terest of the American people. Nearlus the End. " Having heard en Friday that the president was geiug te Leng Braueh Sat urday mewing, I resolved te remeve him at the depot. I went into Lafayette square and sat there some little time after break fast, waiting for nine o'clock te come, aud then I went te the depot and I get there about teu minutes after nine. I rede there from the park in a heb.tailed' car. I left the car, walked up te a bootblack and iuquircd for Jehn Tayler, whom two weeks before I had spoken te about taking me out toward the seemed te be quite filled with people. There was quite a crowd and commotion around, and the president was in the act of passing from the ladies' room te the main entrance through the deer. I should say he was about four or five feet from the deer nearest the ticket office, in the act of passing through the deer te get through the depot te tbe cars. He was about three or four feet from the deer. I steed five or six feet behind him, right iu the middle of the room, and as he was in the act of walking away from me I pulled out the revolver and fired. He straightened up and threw his head back and seemed te be perfectly bewildered. He did net seem te knew what struck him. . I looked at him ; he did net drop ; I thereupon pulled again. He dropped his head, seem ed te reel, and fell ever. I de net kuew where the first shot hit ; I aimed at the hollow of his back ; I did net aim for any particular place, but I knew if I get these two bullets iu his back ha would certainly go I was in a diagonal direction from the president, te the northward, and sup posed both balls struck." TSIE ASSASSIN INTERVIEWED. A Laucasterlau Has a Talk With lllm. A gentleman of this city, while in Wash ington this week, was taken by a friend who had the entree of the prison, te see Guiteau, whom he says resembles Lawyer Denlinger, of this city, though for thesat thesat isfactien of that denizen of the Barbary Coast, he declares that Guiteau is net au ill-looking fellow, and net one whom he would have picked out for au assassin. He saw no sigus of craziuess about him. though he seemed very nervous and was constantly moving his hands about, fold ing them ever ene another and taking them apart, aud showing in his whole manner and conversation, the state of trepidation that he is iu. He inquired whether there appeared te be many people ou the streets in Washington aud whether there was much exeitcmeut. He sees a hand against him in every one who approaches him. When his visitors came te his cell he sprang behind the deer. He has geed reason for his timidity, net only because of the assault of the soldier, Masen, but en acceuut of his conflict with ene of his guards, who pretended that he had been assailed by Guiteau with a knife that he bad concealed in his beet leg ; the truth about this is believed by the people around the jail te be that the guard ap proached Guitean with the intention of killing him, but the prisoner was mere than his master in strength and turned the tables en him. He is said te be re markably athletic. The soldier, Masen, made a geed shot te put the bullet through Guitcau's window, as it seems that this was net in the eutside wall, but opened en an inner corridor, and the bullet passed through an outside window and then ob liquely through the cell window and would have killed Guiteau if he had been stand ing there as usual. The prisoner is trou bled with a persistent diarrheca, caused, as is supposed, by the state of fear in which he constantly lives. its reservoirs en our soil, and fights every attempt of our citizens t relieve the oil business of the yoke it imposes. The tax is exactly such a state royalty as cvery country exacts of such industries, ami it is disgraceful te the state that it has net bean collected long age. WHY U.VUlI.Y MUST OI. And Why t!i Democratic Platform lle--.uiicea It. Of the 610,000,000 gallons of petroleum which are annually produced in thhi couu ceuu try, all but a trifling amount passes through the Sf iml.irdeil company. Every man in the country who uses petroleum is forced te pay a price 75 per cent, higher than is right, and this 75 per cent gees te Jehn Roekal'oIIer and his associates. The Standard company, en a nominal capital of $'2,500,000, is said te pay an annual dividend of ever $10,000,000. Hew was this monopoly attained ? By means of railroads. Less than twenty years age the Stand. u-.! cimipany was started by Rockafeller. who was then a clerk, ttv gether with a laborer named Andrews. Cut they seen obtained the assistance of the railroad, and their oil was carried, ever the New Yerk Central for (K cents per barrel, when ether refiners paid $1.37 per barrel. The Pennsylvania railway contracted with the Standard te double its rates for freights and te pay back te the Standard $1 for every barrel of oil which was carried ever the read. The end was that the Standard company ruined the ether refiners. Of 53 oil refineries which existed in Pittsburgh in 1867, 2$ have. been crushed and 29 are new run by the Standard company. That company new runs the oil cars, the oil reservoirs, the oil pipes. Net only the public, but the owners of oil wells, are at the mercy of the cempauy, and the stores of oil which bounteous nature has given us are made, by the railroads aud the Standard com pany, a costly luxury.

In Tatnall county, Ga., Charley Merris, a seu of Mr. Jehn A. Merris, was set upon by a man named R McSwain and hacked te death with a knife in a most brutal manner. Nineteen terrible wounds were inflicted upon young Merris, who had im plicated McSwain iii horse stealing. about the middle of the room, watching him. Mrs. Garfield get out and they waiiccu lureugu me ladies' room, aud the presence of Mrs.Garfield deterred me from firing en him. I was all ready ; my mind was all made up ; I had all my papers with me ; I had all the arrangements made te sheet him and te jump into a carriage and drive ever te the jail. Mrs. Garfield looked se thin and clung se tenderly te the president's arm that I did net have the heart te fire en him. He passed light through the ladies' reception room, through the main entrance, aud took the cars. I waited a few moments. I went outside the depot and walked up town toward the Riggs. house and Arling ton and the park. I think that I went te the park and sat there an hour or two thinking about it, and I went te my lunch as usual,- and after .my lunch I went te the library of the treasury department and read the papers as usual, and I think I stayed there until 3 o'clock en Saturday. and then I went out. I de net re-, office in the adjoining room ; the depot Congressional cemetery. Tayler's carria-'e was net there, aud there were three or four hackmen there who were very anxious te serve me. I noticed a colored man, aud said-te him, What will you take me out te the Congressional cemetery for '." He says, ' Well, I will take you out there for $2.' ' AU right,' said I, ' if I want te use you I will let you kuew.' At this moment these ether hackmen wcre pressing me te get my business, aud I said te them, ' Keep quiet, you are tee fast ou this,' and 1 told this colored man privately that if I wanted his services I would let liini knew in a lew minutes. 1 then went into the depot and took my private papers which I intended for the press (including a revised edition of my book, " The Truth, a Com panion te the Bible "), and stepped up te the news stand aud asked the young man in charge if I could leave these papers with him a fisvr moments, and he said, ' Certainly ;' and he took them and placed them up agaiust the wall en top of some ether papers. This was about twenty minutes after nine, and I went into the ladies' waiting room and I looked around, saw there were quite a geed many people there iu the depot and carriages eutside, but I did net see the president's carriage. I examined my revolver te see that it was all right, and took oil' the paper that I had wrapped areuud it te keep the moisture off. I waited five or six minutes longer, sat down ou a scat iu the ladies' room, and very seen the president drove up. He was in company with a gentleman who, I un derstand, was Mr. Blaine, aud I am satis fied that he was Mr. Blaine, although I did net recognize him. This gentleman looked very old, and he had a peculiar kind of headgear en, that I did net recog nize as that of Mr. Blaine. I am satisfied that it was Mr. Blaine, new that my at tention has been specially called te it, because it was the same gentleman that I saw with the prcsideut the night before, and I knew positively that that gentleman was.Mr. Blaine. The president and this gentleman drove up in a plain single-seated carriage with ene herse ; this gentleman, I think, was driving. It was a single car riage a single top buggy. The president sccmect te be in very earnest aud private conversation with this gentleman, who evidently was Mr. Blaine, although at time I did net recognize him as Mr. Blaine. Tlic sat in the carriage I should say sonic two min utes ; they had net completed their con versation when they reached the depot, and during the interview of two minutes they finished their conversation. Dur iug this time they were eugaged in very earnest aud private conversation, as I have said. The president get out en the pavement r.ideind Mr. Blaine en the ether side, lhey entered the ladies room ; I steed there watching the president and they passed by me. Before they reached the depot I had been promenading up and down the ladies' room between the ticket office deer and the news stand deer, a space of seme ten or twelve feet. I walk ed up and down there seme two or three times working myself up, as I knew the hour was at baud. The president and Mr. Blaine came into the ladies' room and walked right by me : they did net uotice me, as there were quite a number of ladies and children in the room.

Their evidence developed the same facts as published in List evening's Intelm gknckk. Drs. Ehbr and Cotupten. the physieiaus, were examined. The testimony of Dr. Elder was as fol fel lows : "Iu counsel with Dr. William Compten made pest-mortem of the body of Mary Seymour, October 6, ISrfl ; found no marks of external iMlcuee, such as contusions, abrasions or !' -i marks upon the body ; no fractured (iic-'. nor linger imprints upon the soft parts about the threat ; found the integument of the head and neck greatly di.-colored, quite livid ; the pupils of both eyes dilated te their full capacity ; the white cwt. of left oye injected with florid b!e:.l ; tlie nostrils full of frothy, mucous secretion ; a. quantity of same kind of -secretion deposited external te the nostrils ; tin; mouth and lips cev'eicd with the same hind of secretions ; upon disscetiei! of the head, the bleed vessels of the scalp were found turgid with dark colored bleed ; uppn careful inspection of the soft parts found no marks of vio lence ; upon removal of the cranium found external te the membranes of the brain about half an ounce of extravascated fluid, venous bleed.

Ilaveriy'ri Mitstodeuif Ittvtl Evening. Mr. Havcrly kept bis faith with our people last evening by presenting te them one of the best minstrel cntertainmeuts that has ever been given here. His Orig inal Mastodons performed all the big premises that preceded their ap pearance. Forty people iu the first part, including ten end men, m;idc plenty of music and mirth. Mr. Adams's tenor, Mr. Shattuck's bass, Mr. Helland's baritone, Mr. Harley's, soprano, sounding te special advantage, and their several songs being loudly applauded by the large audience. Billy Rice and Tem Sadler en the extreme cud chairs did the " funny business " and kept all hands in a constant rear. The olio was very complete in its various parts. Sam Devere picked his banjo and told ftiuiiy stories in a very funny way ; the clog dancing was excellent and presented a number of unique and handsome fea tures; Billy Rice's lecture en ' Educa tion " was learned and ludicrous ; Adams, Lee, Casey and Freeman gave a capital performance en several instruments ; the song and dance introduced a dozen or mere clever actors and dancers ; and Leen, in his female impersonations achieved the hit of the evening, anil was repeatedly recalled ; he is undoubtedly the best actor of the class that has been seen lrcre. The concluding performance " Hurapty Dumpty in Black," introducing the well-known clown, Alex Zanfretta, was screamingly funny, and the perform ance as a whole was ene that could net fail te satisfy the most exacting taste iu the matter of refined minstrelsy. sylvania Sales of Real Estate.
