DR. S. W. BECKWITH’S
(FORMERLY PROP. C. H. BOLLES )
ELECTKI CAL INSTITUTE,
1220 WALNUT STREET,
FOE THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE AND
CHRONIC DISEASES.
Electrical investitatlon bas proved that the hamaa
bodv acts on the principle of the galvaaie battery. The
brain, mucous and serous membrane* the skln.tlssuei,
and fluidi, comtHnte the negative and positive forces;
and every fiction, whether mental or phyMeal* is the
result of these antagonistic forces. Dljestion, resplra
iioc, circulation, secretion, find excretion are due solely
to Electrical iiifloenee. There is a polar action esta
blished throughout the nervous system which counsels
with even part of thebody,establishing and preserving
a proper balance of the electrical element} which con
stitutes health, and a disinrbanoe of which nausea dis
ease, There are strictly but two conditions of disease
one of Inflammation, or positive; the other weak, debili
tated* negative; and as Electricity contains these tw.o
condition* in the action of the positive aad negative
currents, all we have to do is to neutralise the disease
rind restore proper healthy action.
We do nit wish to convey the impression that we cun
all direases in all condition!. We cannot care couswmp*
tion after the lungs are all destroyed; yetwa doaisert
and are prepared to practically demonstrate that hun
dreds of eases of almost every form of chronic dUeaeo,
pronounced incurable by the best medical practitioners
0/ tthe country, have been radically cubed, tome of
them in an incredibly short time, by our Electrical
treatment. Its great superiority over other practices in
the cure of disease is alsoattestedto the faot that, within
the past five years, over fourteen thousand patients
have been treated at this office, eaffering from .almost
every form and condition of disease common to hu
manity, and in nearly all eases a bemflt or perfect care
hae been effected. Therefore, with these FACTS to
prove our theory and treatment of disease, we are will
ing to undertake any of the following diseases, with
every hope and prospect of success* with very many
others not here enumerated:
1, Diseases of the Brain and Nervows System —Epi
lepsy* Chorea or St. Vitus’ Dance, Paralysis (Hemiple
gia and Paraplegia), Neuralgia, Hysteria, Nervousness,
Palpitation of the Heart, Lock-jaw, etc., etc.; also,
diseases of the Rye and Ear.
2 Organs and Tissues connected'witto the Digestive
System.— Sore Throat, Dyspepsia, Diarrhoea, Dysen
tery, Obstinate Constipation, Hemorrhoids or Piles,
Bilious, Flatulent, and Painter's Colic, and all affec
tions of the Liver and Spleen.
5. Respiratory Organs.^ Catarrh, Cough, Influence,
Asthma (when not caused by organic disease or the
heart), Bronchitis, Pleurisy, Pleurodynia ’or Rheuma
tism of the Cheit, Consumption in the early stages,
4. fibrous and Muscular System. —Rheumatism,
Gout, Lumbago, Stiff Neck, Spinal Curvature* Hip
Disease. Cancers, Tumors.
6. Urinary and Genital Organs.—Q ravel, Diabetes,
and Kidney Complaints,lmpotence and Saminal Weak
ness. The latier complaint* never fail to yield rapidly
to thii treatment.
6 Diseases Peculiar to Females —Uterine Com
plaints, involving a mal position, as Prolapsus, Ante
version, Retroversion, Inflammation, Ulceration, and
various other Affections of the Womb and Ovaries,
Painfa), Suppressed, Scanty, or Profuse Menstruation,
Leucorrbcea.
To LADIES we can recommend this treatment as one
of UNVARIED BUCOBBB. Almost innumerable cases
have come under treatment at our office, who can testify
to this fact. Mrs. 8. A. FULTON, a lady of great expe
rienca and ability, has entire charge of the Ladies'
Department, and all delicacy will be need towaid those
who entrust themselves to her care. In female diseases,
as mentioned in the above list, with others not men
tioned, she has had a large experience, and can con
fidently promise the most gratifying results,
TO THE AFFLICTED.
The treatment le mild and gentle, producing ho shqpk
or unpleasant sensation whatever. Our professional
intercourse with the afflicted will ever be characterized
by perfect candor and honesty, and those whose com
plaints are incurable, or do not admit of amelioration,
will be frankly told so, and not accepted for treatment.
It matters not what may be your complaint, or how
long you have suffered, or how much or what course
of treatment you may nave been subjected to. or what
disappointments you have experienced; If the system is
not worn out. if sufficient vitality remains for reaction,
there is a fair prospect of recovery.

SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1865.
The Artists’ Fttutl Socle!,.
On Thursday evening the members of this Society
had a social reunion at their rooms, 1384 Chestnut
street, the object special being to pay a compliment
to Mrjc. Schuessele, the well-known artist, who has
Hvedjnearly twenty years In this city, and Is now
about,’revisiting Enrope for a year or two, ft-tue hop®
orrolly re-establishing his health, Which taffbocaln
jured by his over-exertion ef head and hand 1 In hi*
profession,
Thea rtlsts associated In this Soolety ooaelst Of
twenty-four members, and GeorgeU. Rambdla,Es<i'.,
Is President, with W. T. Richard, Esq., as Vice-
President, Among the Invited guests, no.t artists,
were Oharles Macaloster, Esq, Henry <J. CMey,
Esq., and William D. Lewis, Efq, who have
been externior members of the Society from Re
establishment, and are distinguished for their*
taste for the due arts and their liberality to artists'
There wet e also present Messrs. Joseph Harrison,
Jr., J. L. Clitghorn, George Whitney, Joseph Pat
tmon,William Sellers, Johnßohlan,!).Dougherty,
William Matthews Baird, and others. The artists
mustered In considerable numbers, and seemed most
happy in being able to participate In a farewell
compliment to their friend Mr. Schuessele, who has
passed nearly the whole of his professional life In
this city, their friendly rival. Thus connected with
Philadelphia, where his ability .and his Industry
have combined to win him a deservedly high repu
tation, he Is considered by all as mueh a townsman
as If he had been “to the manor born,’’ and we mill
take his character if any inducement eould tempt
Mr. Schuessele to quK this city. His gentle and
unassuming manners, also, have won him numerous
Mends, as well out ortho profession as in it, and,
% a word, he can be spared for a time not longer
than is necessary to enable him to visit the trea
sures Of art la foreign galleries, and recuperate
after the wear and tear of nearly twenty years’ hard
work at the easel.
In the rooms of the Artists’ Fund Soolety the
walls were appropriately hang with a nnmbsr of
Mr. SehnesEele’s works. Among the oil-paintings
was “ The Iron-Worker,” In tho present Exhibition
at tie Aceademy of Fine Arts, and, a still more re
oent pletnre, full of nature and vigor, “ The Snow
ballets.” There were several sketches, alto, and
some-water-color drawings. He seems to have
tried alb sorts of subjects and have succeeded In each.
About half past nine ohHook, the artists and
their friends, with the special guest of the evening,
partook of a sumptuous and abundant collation,
and when “ the inner man ” had thus been pro
visioned, Mr. George O. Laffibdln, In a brief and
effective manner, m which he happily alluded to
Mr. Sehnessele’s personal as well as professional
merit, mid expressed the hope of tho Soolety that
he wonld rotnra after a not too long absence, pro
poted his health. This was responded to, by Mr.
S., In suitable terms, and he concluded by giving
“The Artists’ Fund Soolety,” to .which It was
hoped that Mr. {Rothermel would have spoken, but
he was not in the “ non est Inventus ” list at the
suitable moment. The company wore alsoaddressed
In a proper spirit of brevity, but not without spirit,
by. Mr. John’-Sartaln, Chairman of the Exhibition

From T. B. Peterson & Brothers, “Love and
Money,” by .1. B. Jones, author of “The Rival
Belles,” &o. This Is a novel somewhat above the
general' average- of recent works of action. The
scene opens In Philadelphia, bnt a considerable part
of the aotlon of'the story takes plaoo In Washing
ton. All sorts of people figure In this tale, and
there Is a good deal In It about authorship and love
two of the most perplexing subjects In the world.
Thlß hook will be leaned to-day. From the game
publishers we have “The Life and Martyrdom of
Abraham Idneoln,” which Is a biographical resume,
Including the closing scenes of President iiinooin’s
life.
From J. B. Ifippincott & Go. “ Voices of the
Morning,” by Bello Basil, a neat volume of original
verses—for the compositions are not good enough to
be considered Pofetry. 7be subjects are various
political, personal, patriotic, elegiac, legendary, do
mestic, and occasional. The author rhymes cor
rectly, but scarcely ever rises above the dead level
of respectable mediocrity ; in short, this Is a volume
of machine-poetry, and it was scarcely worth while
to have taken the trouble and Incurred the expense
of collecting them from the magazines and newspa
pers In which they originally were published.’ The
Introductory Kemarks, In prose, in which the au
thor ratter pretendously expresses a very high opi
nion of her own effusions, is highly amusing.
While we cannot wrong our judgment by praising
the verses in this volume, we do the author the jus
tice of adding that there Is no sentiment in her
pageß ol which she need be ashamed. She simply
Is not a Poet, but has mistaken aspiration for abi
lity, a very common mistake ef youth.
From Ptrtonplne & Higgins, tho following
boots published by Carlton & Porter, Now York:
1, “ A Commentary on the Lord’s Prayer,” by Key*
W. Heston, M.'A., edited and enlarged by Key.
Henry J. Pox, M. A, This Is good a little book, but
we object to as American editor’s taking sack
liberties, of excision and alteration, with an English
book, by way of adapting it to Ms own Idea. Mr.
Denton, belonging to the “Intensely prelatleal
Church ” of England ought not to hare been
thus dealt with by an unprelatloal editor. 2.
“ Our Country : its Trial and Its Triumph
a series of Bermons suggested by the yarylng events
ofthe War for the Union, by the Kev. Dr. George
Peck, of Scranton. This Is a very valuable, prac
tical book, audits circulation will aid the good oauss
of religion and patriotism. 3. “Hallowed Songs;”
a collection of popular hymns and tunes, selected by
Messrs. Perkins, Phillips, and Main. As the music
Is given as well as the word, this will be a useful
compilation. We also have from the same publish
ei s these story.books for children: “ Emily’s Day-
Dreams,and WhatOame of Them;” “Facts for Boys
and Girls about Boys and Girls; “ Payson, a Model
Boy,” and “The Picture Book; or, One Hundred
liotures for Little Children.” All these small vo
lumes are neatly illustrated.
From W. B, Zleber, the April number of Block
wood’s Edinburgh Magazine, American edition. We
suspect that this Magazine has fallen Into the hands
of a new conductor, for the last three or four num
bers have been unusually good. In that before us
every article Is good. There are farther portions of
“ Miss Margorlbanks,” Mrs. Oliphant’s now story
Of Cornelius O’Dowd; and of “ Piccadilly,” a prose
qulzzlcallty worthy of Theodore Hookor Praed. The
amusingly anecdotal “Etonlana” Is concluded.
There la a ploasant notice of John Leech, also a
long and liberal review or Lord Derby’s translation
of HOtner. " Dress” is discussed in one article, and
the science of “Short Whist” In another. Finally,
there Is a sharp notice, rather scornful than savage,
of the blundering publlo career of Earl Bussell,
whloh really sketches the history of party in Eng
land, from the accession of the second William Pitt
down to the present day, Altogether, this is by far
the best number of Blackwood published for years.

To the Editor of the Press:
Sib: There is at present annlversal feeling of
love and reverence for onr late Chief Magistrate,
wMch will naturally and properly seek expression
In the erection of mraramenta and Inscriptions com
memorative of his virtues, and the unparalleled
services he has rendered his country. The warmth
of the popnlar feeling prompts at once to a thought*
ful Provldenoe for his bereaved family, and will not
be satisfied until Ms memory and Ms virtues are
graven In enduring brass or marble. Tfie nation,
in affectionate pride, hastenß to do honor to the
nation’s preserver, and would show thus to
the world and. to posterityithat tMs country,
which, wltbln the last four years, has afforded so
much to be ashamed of, has also In that time do*
veloped the life of “ a great and complete man”—a
glorlouß life which will throw a lustre over the age,
and shine into many of the dark plaees of our
stricken land.
I have observed that there is a movement already
on foot In Washington to gather the funds for a so- 1
called National Monument; ahother to erect one
In New York, to testify the regard of the metro
polis ; Philadelphia was not behind In manifesting
the same desire; and Illinois, Ms chosen Uome,-
Will Strive to outdo all the other States In honor Of
her own son. But Abraham Lincoln as a man
who pre-eminently Ignored states and sections;
he was the chosen of the people of the United
States ; lived and died for them. Would it
not be far more appropriate that the entire
people should unite In erecting one monument— to be
placed at the nation’s capital—noble and endearing
enough to represent the united affeotlon and gene
rosity of all the States, and a fitter type of the spirit
of the man l Our nation In Its youth has been
hitherto comparatively without a history. We have
broad rivers, but their waters have only a meaning
less murmur to the ear; lofty and nigged moun
tains, but they are uncrowned by castle or ruin—
neither legend or story cling to the naked rooks to
render them shrines of interest. Banker Hill and
the Tomb or WasMngton are the only records or
the put where the traveller may d«p the tear
of regret, or awaken an enthusiasm for bravery
and patriotism. Now, that an overruling Provl
denoe has removed tMs man, worthier than any
other of the confidence and honor of hts country
men, while Ms name will be held sacred and Ms
example revered wherever freedom and justloe are
respected throughout the world, let us, the Arne
rloan people, whose heritage his greatness Is, rear
in his memory and to the nation’s honor.a mono,
ment enduring as the works of manjnay be, and as
pure, grand, and symmetrical as Ms own charac
ter—an evidence to coming generations of what he
did for Ms country, and how Ms oountrymen de
lighted to honor him. O. B.

The capitulation of General Johnston and his en
tire force %dda the fourth to the list of rebel armies
surrendered to Lieutenant General Gran* during
the present war.
The first surrender was that of Major General 8.
B. Buckner, at Fort Donelson, on the 18th day of
February, 1882. Here General Grant captured
over 13,000 prisoners, 3,000 horses, nearly K;'080
ttand of arms, 4B field pieces, 17 heavy guns, and a
great quantity of ordnanoe and commissary stores'.
The second surrender was that of Lieutenant
General J. C. Pemberton, at Vicksburg, on the 4tV
day of July, 1883. There Grant captured 20 gene
ral officers, more than 4 000 other officers, 23,000
effective men, and about 6,000 Ift hospitals—a total
cf some 34,000 men. Of guns, he oaptured at
Viohsburg, 128 pieces of field artillery and 03
elege gnus, besides 83 field pieces- In the battles
outside Of Vicksburg—a total of 3ci<giins. oi small
arms, he captured 10,000 In the previous battles, and
35,000 on the surrender—a total of MjMOi The ene
my had lost, In the previous battles, three general
officers, and ” at least 10,000 killed and weunded,”
according to Grant’s official report, and”- arms and
monitions of war for an army of 60,000 men fell Into
our hands, besides a large amount ofraXreade, loco
motives, cars, steamboats, ootton, &o. r and' mueh
was destroyed to prevent our capturing It.”
: The moral, political, and the strategic Infia
' enee of the fall of Vicksburg was at onoe un.
; paralleled and Incalculable. It Immediately and
: torever opened the Mississippi, and was- the
i first and only permanent " bisection” of the
• Confederacy during the war. It directly prddUOTd
; the fall of Port Hudson, the satellite fortress of
iVlcksbnrg. The former might have been bestaged
Ito this day had not Grant conquered the latter.
( The fall of Port Hudson was as direct a corollary
from that Of Vicksburg as the surrender of Jdhn*
ston has been the corollary of the surrender of Dee.
To tho spoils of Vicksburg we must, therefore, add,
from Port Hudson, 5,500 prisoners, 20 heavy guns,
431’ hold pkcesj 44,800 pounds of powder, 160, 0e0*
rounds of small arm ammunition, 5,000 stand of
arms* 2 steamers, and considerable ordnance and’
stores.
Fasting the ChattailOOgft eampalgn and Grant’s
great victory there, we oome to the third regular'
surrender, by General R. E Dee, of the entire’
“Amy of Northern Virginia,” at Appomattox
Court-house, os the.Oth day of April, 1865. Twenty
six thousand paroled prisoners, 16,000 stand of small
arms, MOoaitnon, 70flegs, l.ooowagons, ambulances,
and calsone, and 3,000 or 4.ooohorses and mules, are
the approximate figures of the Immediate results of
that surrender. But several thousand prisoners
wue supposed to have gone without parole for want
of rations.- An army of 60,000 men was, In tea days,
all destroyed, hilled, wounded, surrendered or for
ever, disponed, Richmond and Petersburg were
carried, Virginia overrun, and the rebellion virtu
ally ended. The reduction of the entire armed
•forces of the- rebellion, “ from the Potomae to the
Rio Grande,” was made an Immediate consequence
ol the surrender at Appomattox Court-house.
The fourth surrender was that of Gen. J. B.
Johnston, at Durham Station, on the 26th day of
April, 1865. Gver 25.061) prisoners and over 90 guns
are the partial fruits of this fourth and last surren
der. ,
The surrender of Lee has already dlreotly pro
duced that ofinearly or quite all the other forces of
the rebellion. Dick Taylor’s army has already pro
bably capitulated to Uanby, on the terms granted
to Dee. Kirby Smith has doubtless followed the
salt on the other side of the Mississippi river. Next
will come Pries and ■ Magruder ; and then a few
banditti will be all that remains to tell of- the great
armies which Grant In one year felled to the earth
and crushed.
In these four main surrenders alone, wo have as
tounding achievements to pass to the credit of the
Dtentenant General, not only in the great and de
cisive strategetlcal points gained, but in the material
statistical fruits of tho capitulations. Four armies,
more than loo,oooioen, 600 guns, 100,000 s tand of arms,
and material almost too great to be computed, are
the results of these four surrenders made to Grant
in person. We leave out of the account such Items
as the surrender of Arkansas Post, with its 6,000
prisoners and 40 gnns, and the 6,000 prisoners and 40
guns oaptured at Chattanooga, and the 8.000 priso
ners and 180 guns at Fort Fisher and Wilmington.
But not reckoning.the hilled and wounded, and the
troops dispersed by Grant’s gigantic battles, the
prisoners alone captured directly by him before his
promotion to the Lieutenant Generaloy, and by him
and his subordinates since that time, already sur
passthe enormous number of 200,000, and the guns
captnred are more than 2,000.
Verily, this soldier is entitled to rank In history
as the “oapturer of armies.” Buckner, Pember
ton, Dee, end Johnston reaped honors In warfare
only for Grant to gather. When the other Confede
rate generals shall have added their defeats to his
renown, there will he other figures to swell the pro
portions of captures even now almost Incredible.
Precisely one year ago this day, Dieutenant Gene
ral Grant having thrown the Army of the Potomae
across the Rapldan for the conquest of Richmond,
marched from ChancellorsvUle and opened that
tremendouß series of battles known In history as the
Battles of the Wilderness. The whole South Is now
at his feet, Its great armies “malted Into thin air.”

Armor-Plated snips.
To the Editor of the London Times,
Sib ; My evldenoe was quoted In the late debate,
where It told against the Admiralty, bat opinions I
bave ulven on more than one occasion when the
question of armor-plated ships has been publicly dis
cussed are not as generally known, though they
would, so far as they are worth anything, support
lbs Views of the present Admiralty, for carrying out
which they have been most unfairly attacked.
When we had only two or three Iron-plated Ships
building, and Franoe was getting the start of us, I
expressed a strong opinion that instead Of launch
ing any more large wooden ships we should cut
them down and plate them with Iron,by which plan
alone could we rapidly provide a good defensive
force, which would be at least equal, ship for ship,
to the French Glolre class, and would for all war
purposes, but chasing or running away, be superior
to the Warrior, as her great length and unprotected
ends were great objections to her as a fighting ship,
yet her cost would be more than double that of a
wooden plated ship.
I have carefully watched our progress in preparing
a force of plated ships, and I am confident that the
Admiralty, Instead of being so violently attacked
on this point, deserve the thanks of the country for
having so rapidly and so oheaply added such a pow
erful lorce as these five wooden plated ships to our
navy. I think lam within the mark in saying that
these five ships have cost less than the Warrior and
Black Prince combiued; yet I believe there is
scarcely an offleer in command of a plated ship
who, If he had to choose a ship to meet a powerful
plated ship of an enemy, would not take one of
these much-abused skips in preference to the
Warrior,
For service on an enemy’s coast, and mote espe
cially lor attacking batteries, their superiority would
be still greater, except for keeping the sea off a port
on an exposed coast, for which purpose alone would
a partially plated ship, like the Warrior or the De
fence, be superior.
One important point was entirely overlooked in
the late debate; the advocates of Iron-bottomed
sblps of course avoid it, but Is too Important to be
omitted In any discussion on this subject. I allude
to the fact that we could only send oße of these
wooden ships to a distant station where there Is no
dock, as an iron bottom wonld In a few months be
so fonl as to greatly reduce the speed. Wo may
probably require an iron oMod ship In the Faelfio to
defend Vancouver’s Island, and if so we have no
ship fit for the purpose but one of the ftoyal Oak
elo.BB.
I allow that the Iron Bhlpß will bo more durable it
they are kept clear of rocks ; but thoso who dwell
so much on the wood decaying m-He the iron plates,
forget that the mass or wood behind the plates of the
Iron sMps will equally decay.
Allowing lor the superior durability of the Iron
shlpß, I am enre that the money expanded on those
five wooden ships has been better laid ont than that
expended on the Warrior and the Black Prince,
though for some duties they are superior, and may
prove a very valuable class of ships.
I am anxious to point ont another mistake that
many are making ; that Is, that wooden ships are
almost useless. There are many stations that must
require wooden sMps even m war; and to these
must we eMefiy look, at least for many years hence,
for protection to onr trade against an enemy's oruls
ers. I wish we had more faßt lrigates and oorvettes
fit for the purpose. All other nations have still
many wooden ships, and for some years hence we
must be prepared to meet them. Even 90 gun ships
may yet be required on an enemy’s ooast la ease of
war, as we could not send a sufficient number of
Iron-cased sMps across the Atlantic to contend suc
cessfully with the large number of both wooden and
plated ships they would nave to meet should we un
fortunately be ever forced Into a war with America.

The Pope and the King of Italy-
The London Times publishes a letter from its
Roman correspondent, in wMeh he says: “ I have
ascertained the truth of the foot of the Pope having
written to Vlotor Emmanuel, as also tho details
connected with It. After the congregation reported
by me wMohtook place early one Sunday morning,
and at which only eight cardinals were present, his
Holiness sent for his private secretary, Moaslgnore
StolU, and dictated the letter, the exact sense of/,
whloh is as follows : His Holiness was alarmed at
the widowed state of the Church of Italy, which was
now deprived of so many of her bishops. He ap
pealed, therefore, to the religious sense of his Majes
ty to come to Ms help to remedy suoh a state of
things. As regards Piedmont and Lombardy, Ms
Holiness was willing to receive the tertrto proposed
by his Majesty, selectingone as was customary. As
to Ms own States, he was decided to maintain Ms
sovereignty, but as regards the Duo Mes, Tuscany,
and Naples, he was willing to treat If his Ma
jesty would send a plenipotentiary to Borne. If
this gentleman hS# not already arrived, though
some assert he has, he is about to arrive. It should
be observed that Cardinal AntonelU was by no
means acquainted with the Intention of Ms Holi
ness, who wrote from his own Impulse, and, as It
was stated to me, with ’muoh nnctlon.’ In the
whole letter there Is scarcely one sharp expression;
on the contrary, a spirit of concession prevails ,
throughout, Illustrative rather of the man than the
Pope, and showing more ol the benevolent and re
ligious sentiment of the successor of St. Peter than
ol the ambition of the Pope King. Bsgardlng It la
its political phase, It Is a decided and explicit ac
knowledgment of Naples and the other States, with
the exception of Umbria and the Marchee, as form
ing a part ofjhe kingdom of Italy. ‘ The Pope will
treat with OB plenipotentiary of his Majesty re
garding the bishops of those provinces.’ Adieu,
then, to legitimacy. It Is generally said here, on
what authority I know not, that Pius IX. has al
ways had a weakness for Ylotor Emmanuel.”
Sensation Adveutisinq.— The modern manage
rial lashion of hanging out announcements la front
or the theatres, to Inform the publlo of the state of
the house, was neatly parodied in a northern com
mercial town. A short time ago, when Mr, Howard
Paul was giving his entertainments at a rival estab
lishment in the same town, the theatre was doing a
notoriously bad business; but the manager, true to
his tactlos of impressing the outside public, eon
tinned his plan or hanging out placards—“ The Pit
Full,” “ Only Standing Boom In the Boxes,” when
it was a well-known fact that the theatre was almost
empty. TMs doubtful policy forming the subjeot of
a good deal ol local gossip, Mr. Howard Paul, by
way of a practloal joke, had a burlesque set of pla
cards, in the same typo and style, painted, and at
six o’clock In the evening, before the doors were
open, a huge bill appeared in front of the hall,
“Very Empty.” A little later the public were in
formed that there were “ Two In the Pit.” This
was removed to make way for one still larger and
more Imposing, 11 Sufficient In to form an Audi
ence.” At nine o’clock another loomed out, “Boom
to He full length In any part of the House,” and
when the entertainment was over, and tho audience
departed,»last andUrgoat bill wasdlsplayod, “Not
a Ben! IN y« for To.morrow Night’s Performa»ao.”

piHer says j Trade bas been good during the week,
Buy era are here, from Pennsylvania, Uhlo, Wosb
Virginia, Michigan, and some of the States farther
West. The inquiry has been mostly for women’s,
aid children's shoes, sewed and pegged, but the
sales are mostly In small parcels. Manufacturers

seme establishments having put on a double force,

Huston Boot and bhoe Merkel, May 4.
The Shoe and Leather Reporter says: There Is a
better feeling In the boot and shoe market, and for
the month of May we shall probably have a very
fair trade. Several buyers from Western oltiej ana
towns are now In the market buying some goods and
leaving orders. There Is only a limited supply of
shoes In the country, and with a revival of trade,
which seems Imminent, there must be a dearth Of
supplies. Prices of Btock are advanotng, and manu
laotured goodß must go {up to keep pace with this
rise. The shoe towns are more lively, work having
commenced under recent orders, and, taken alto
gether, a very satisfactory state of things exists,
which we hop* may prove the dawning ef a new
day to Buooeed the darkness which overspread the
trade during the past three months. The shipments
from Boston this week were 8,195 oases, and lor the
past fbaf MOStbS, Blnoi Jannwy Ist, 177,418 eases,
