A Pleased Audience-
The popularity ol Chas. T. F.llis
attracted one of the largest audiences
of the season to Music Hall last night.
The performance was satisfactory, and
the audience was evidently well pleas
ed, as it frequently applauded and in
other ways expressed its pleasure and
salislaction. Mr. F.llis is practi
cally the whole show himself. He is
charming in. his character, his quaint
ways, his pathetic voice and clever
turning of nice points having dimin
ished none whatever in interest and
impressiveness. JMi'y Item, Allen

Old Nursery Favorites.
There was Tom, the Son of a Piper,
Jack Sprat, and Merry King Cole,
And the Three Wise Men of Gotham,
Who went to sea in a bowl ;
The woman who rode on a broom
stick,
And swept the cobwebbed sky,
And the boy who sat in a' corner,
Eating his Christmas pie.
These were some of the old favor
ites, but they have been supplanted by
t ie "Pansy" and "Chatterbox" stories,
"Little Lord Fauntleroy" and "Five
Little Peppers." The Old fashion pills
and physics have been superseded,
and wisely, too, by Pierce's Purgative
Pellets, a mild, harmless and effective
cathartic. They are pleasant to 'ake
so gentle in their action that the
most delicate child can take them, yet
so effective that they will cure the
most obstinate cases of constipation,
stomach, liver and bowel troubles.
They should be in every nursery. As
a gentle laxative, only one a dose.

The entertainment given by Mr.

they are the best in their line that

they ever return they are sure to have

Mrs- Susan A- Tata-
Although not unexpected, the an
noum einent of the death of Mrs. Su
sa A. Tate at her home on Hepburn
street, last Friday morning, cast a
gloom of sadness throughout the length
and breadth of the city wherein she
had resided so many ears and was
to well and favorably known. She was
the widow of the late veteran editor,
Levi L. Tate, and it is said that dur
ing that gentleman s long and useful
editorial career, 1 is wife proved a great
assistance to him in getting out the
woik that engrossed his attention. She
was a lady endowed with a kind heart
and a charitable disposition, a fact that
many of the poor and needy of the
cilv can vouch for. No one ever went
to her for assistance that she didn't
grant if it was in her power to do so.
A gentle mother, a kind neighbor and
an upright Christian woman, her tie
nnse is greatly lamented. Her age
was 73 years and 8 months. During
ner illness, which continued over a
period of two weeks, her sufferings
were of the most intense nature, and
death was looked forward to as a relief
from the pain and distress she bore so
patiently. May she rest in eace and
filially awaken to glorious resurrection
M tlliamfijHirt iStin.
Mrs. Tate resided in Bloornsburg
for many years, when her husband was
the editor of the Democrat, and many
friends still survive, who will hear of
her death with sorrow.

Jury room of tho old Court House, "said a
gpiitlenian to Gossip last evening. "Tho
Kind clang!" exclaimed Goiisip ; " What in
tne name or bocruti was a mnd clans?"
Aud then the ancient pedagogue pro
ceeded to nay : " Six ty yoara ngo theseliools
of the tow n occupied the old Court House,
and I was one of the Bcholani. In tho
Grand Jury room there was a long table
about 18 inches high with a strip of
iKNinl fastened on the top ull around tho
sides, tliiu making the center lower than
tho sides. This center was filled with line
sand an inch deep.
At the end of tho table wasa wheel on
which the letters of the alphabet were
priuted so that but one letter would ap
pear nt a time; around the table the
biiialle-it children of thoschool were gath
ered, and each fuivished with astick. I,
as the pedagogue ijipointed by the head
readier, would tal o my stand at the end
of tho table and alongside of the wheel,
ond as I moved it would announce tho
letter that whs brought to view, which the
children would proceed to make in tho
sand with their -slicks. When all hud
made that letter I would level the sand
with a comb and the wheel would be
moved ou to another letter. And these
little ones were called the ' sand class.' It
was au interesting sight, the system was
somewhut like tho kindergarten of tho
present day, aud it was certaiuly an
economical mode of supplying writing
material, litis was tho sand class of

Dr. Naville, tit. well known Egyptian
explorer, the discoverer of Buliastis and
tho treasure city of Pillion, has recently
identified other cities in Egypt, more es
pecially soino connected with tho exodus
of the Israelites. At the close of June
last he presented tho results of his dis
coveries at a meeting of the Victoria In
stitute, in London, presided over by 8ir
Gabriel Stokes, ex president of the Royal
Society. Dr. Navillo found that the Sue
coth, spoken of in the liible, was not a
city, as some have supposed, but a dis
trict, aud from a valuable inscription
found at Pithon that the latter became
known to the Greeks as lleroopolis, and
that although now many miles inland it
was once a seaport, the water of the
Iteil Sea extending up to its walls, and
merchants' ships are described by Strabo
and Pliny nssailiug thence to the Arabian
Sea. Through some recently discovered
papyri M. Naville found that Dual
Zephon was neither a villago or a town,
but a shrine of Haal and a noted place of
pilgrintHge. The sites of other places dis
covered wero those of Miguolo, which in
after days was probably the Serapcum of
tho Greeks, and also Pi Haliiroth. In
the IJentilleatiou of the two last places
M. Naville waa greatly helped by a
papyrus. The bearing of his identifica
tions is of no small interest to the stu
dents of history, both sacred aud pro
fane. Children Cry for
