THE WALYUT.—We have never enjoyed a. dra.
matic entertainment more than that given at the
Walnut last evening, when Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Florence opened their engagement. -Mr. Florence
rlayed Dandy Andy in a style different from that
of John or Frank Drew, but with, we think,
equal truth to nature, and he received must cordial
applause and more than one call before the cur
tain. Be also appeared in two comical parts in
The Young Actress". and "The Returned Vol
unteer, • and displayed equal powers of fun Vith
out the brogue or the shilielah accompaniments.
Mrs. Florence appeared in the protean farce of
"The Young-Actress," and her dancing, singing*,
gesturing and accent, as French, Irish, Scorch
and Yankee, were most felicitous. 'Each song and
dance in which she appeared was encored with the
ulmost spontaialety and heartiness. The audience
was one of the largest and most thoroughly enthu
siastic we lave seen at the Walnut for a long time,
and we venture to say that during their stay the
Florences will have no cause to relax their efforts
to ph axe the Philadelphia public. Theyrepeat
last night's bill this evening.
THE nem , Dosedale," with its perennial
power to charm, will be given to-night.
Tan ( ) TRW, Honer on Eleventh street will be
crowded by the * lovers of fine ballads, rlch.bur
lesques and scientific dances this evening, as the
bill is an unusually good ore. .

patient was overhauled by ofi er Valade, who,
although feeling no special immunity from the
disease, seized him, and after a.sharp tassel, con
veyed him to the hospital. The way the sick man

self through the left breast with a pistol. Being
left with a family of small children, and in neces,
sttons circumstances. she was so much oppres , ed
.in mind as to show lately rymptoms of aberration;
and, while the family were at breakfast, she stole
a revolver from the coat of her brother, went up
stairs and immediately shot herself.

A HOUSEHOLD THEASHRE.—COnsideling the
high estimation placed on the wonderful Wheeler

of instances. after ineffectual attempts to use other
machines, this has been tried, and the ease with
which it may be worked was at once apparent to
the moat inexperienced persons. Thonssnds of
families unhesitatingly give their preference to this
u.nequaleo machine. The variety of work which
it is capable of performing is considered, by com
petent judges, unsurpassed for beauty, strength,
and elasticity. It moves with great swiftness and
is almost noiseless when in operation. We would
advise our lady friends, mid families visiting the
city to call at the elegant salesrooms of Wheeler &
Wilson, 704 Chestnut street, and examine these
opular machines.

DLANAPOLIS, April 23.—The following procla
mation has been issued by Gov. Morton:
4.Exacrri VI: DEPARTMENT, Indianapolis, April
M.—To the People of Indiana: The Governors of
Ohio, Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin and Inclana
have offered to raise for the service of the General
Government 55, MO men, for the period of 100 days,
to perform such military service as may
be required of them In any State They
will be armed, subsisted, clothed anti
paid by the United States, but receive no bounty.
They will be mustered into the service of the
United States fcr the period designated, the time
to commence irom the date of muster. The im
portance of making the approaching campaign
successful and decisive is not to be over-estimated,
and I feel confident that this call will be promptly
and fblly responded to. I need not enter into the
reasons which have induced the making of this
offer. and its - acceptance by the Government, as
they will be suggested to all by the condition and
position of our military affairs.
4• I therefore call for :10,000 volunteer", to ren
dezvons at such places as may be hereafter desig
nated, and to be organized under Ins.trurtions to be
gictn by the Adjutant-General. Existent organ i
rations of the Indiana Legion offering their sex -
Tian., will be preserved when .the regiment or
company is filled to the minimum number, under
the regulations governing the Army - of the United
States. [Signed] 4 40. P. Mowros,

It Is rumored that Governor Morton will com
mand these troops in-person.
Bsarn OT A CAMEL Dr MANCIIESTER..-011
Wednesday se'nnight at eight o'clock, a
double-humped Bactrian camel,in the collection
of Messrs. Sanger, at the circus in Portland
street, gave birth to a fine male calf. This is
believed to be only thelikecond instance of the
birth of a camel of this species in this country.
The first occurred at the Zoological Gardens,
Regent's Park, London; but the dam did not
take kindly to her ofi:spring, which could not
be reared in consequence. In the present case
the parent at first took little or no notice of the
calf, except to make an attempt to bite it; but
this arose, probably, from her own indisposi
tion. A little kindness and attention,however,
altered her temper; and .then she took kindly
to the young camel and suckled it, having an
abundant supply of milk. Soon after its birth
the calf was measured and' weighed. It was
three feet six inches in height, and it weighed
58 lbs. Like the mother it is brown in color,
except in the humps, which are black. 7ln.the
calf, however, the humps are unformed; the
parts where they will grow are only indicated
by small patches of thin, loose skin,re,sembling
oilskin,and in size bearing no proportion to the
bulk attained by the humps in the full-grown
camel.—Manchester Courier.
HALF A TON of SILVER. FOR A FAIR. The Ter
ritorio/ Enterprise, published at Washoe, is warmly
interesting the inhabitants of Nevada Territory, in
the Mississippi Valley Fair. The matter has been
taken in hand by citizens of that place with the
following result: ..Almarin ll l3 Paul. President
.of the Storey County Sanitary Fund Committee,
will telegraph to-day that we have two hundred,
pounds of silver bullion on hand for the Missis
sippi Valley Fair. The bullion has collected upon
the hands of the Treasurer of the Committee since
the last contribution was made to the New York
.Sanitary Fund. We a ould like to see the Terri
tory wake up now, and increase the weight to half
a ton. It is not much of an undertaking; Storey
county has done such a thing by herself before
now, on two weeks' notice. She would do it again
under sufficient provocation; if the balance of the
Territory were to step forward suddenly with a
thousand pounds of bullion, you would probably
see blood in her eyes! She would 'call' that bet if
it swamped her! Mr Paul will issue a circular,
in a day' or two, for distribution throughout the
Territory, asking the several towns and counties to
collect contributions and forward them •to the
.Storey Committee, or to the TreaSurer of the Mis
issippi Valley Fair."
A ratinDltn nt BoaT Another horrible seen
of blood was enacted in Boston on Sunday morn
ing. A few minutes before one o'clock, police
officer William A.-Ham, of the First Station, had
his attention attracted by a noise and scuffle. As
he approached the spot he saw two men kicking a
third, who was down upon the ground. As he
'neared the-place the two assailants started and ran,
but the officer was too -quick for them, and soon
overtook them. Both were taken into custody.
The victim of their attack was. able to rise and
walk a few steps into a doorway, and then expired
almost immediately. He was found to have a
deep wound on the right aide of his wok, just
below the collar bone, Which had probably been
inflicted with it dirk-knife.
The deceased was a man- o' -war's man, but hib
name is not known. He was about thirty years of
age, .11ve feet eight inches in height, of dark
complexion, and wore a blue shirt, jacket and
pantatoons.

THE RAG-COLLECTING BRIGADE.—The waste_
which is made in a population of nearly three
millions of people, would, if properly attended
to, prove an enormous source of profit. Leolr,
for instance, to the great loss which at the pre
sent time results from the waste of materials;
used for making paper, a matter of much con
sequence, for we are now obliged to buy enor
mous quantities of rags for paper making :from
abroad. For the - purpose, of preventing this,
the Rag-Collecting Brigade, in connection with
the London Ragged SChools, has been
formed at 'Albion place, London-wall, where
at the present time there are more than.
thirty boys and youths, who, with the trucks'
to which we have -before referred, collect a
considerable quantity of rags. The advantage
is. great to poor' boys, and produces also a
national saving. For instance, although this
Rag-collecting Brigade has been established but
a very short time, there have been paid np tor;
'last Christmas 4241. in wages to boys who, bap_
for this institution, would have been dangerous:,
yagabonds upon the London streets. Besides,:
they have collected, by four trucks only, in.
nine months, 49.816 bottles ; of paper, 38 tons.
19 cwt. 1 qr. 15 lb. ; rags, mixed,p tons 18- -
