fcvr.ruthino Ntw With Them This Season.
The New Orleans Minstrels gave
performance in their canvass theat
at the comer of Fourth and Court
streets last night. The tent was
packed and many were turned away
because there w as no more room. The
idea of presenting a liiinistrel perform-
ance under canvass is quite original
and judging from the crowd last night
we judge that it is a paving venture.
The tent is arranged with stage, scene-
ry and curtains the same as an opera
house.
The performance as a whole was
meritorious. The sayings and gags
were all very good, as well as the
choruses, ballads and other singing.
The orchestra was also good. In the
male electrical dance, the "Black
Eighth Regiment," tcrpsichorean ar-
tist and " Pastimes of the Levee were
amusing, and the rip roaring farce
presented as a finale was a highly lud-
icrous and mirth-provoking piece of
extravagance.—Mephis ( ommercial

Mr. Oldhnni was also looking after po-
litical affairs. He is after the nomi-
nation for treasurer and should lie get
the nomination lie will doubtless be
elected.
There is a man in our neighborhood
who can't tell the difference between
water-melons and frogs. The cause of
the dcranginent is said to lie too much
mullen. If that is the cause we would
recommend that he either quit th
of it entirely or at least take it in
broken doses.
Last Sunday evening a number of |
men and lioys and some children met |
at the home of one of our farmers to I
join in a beer drinking. Several boys |
under the age of 21 were present and
partook of the "stuff." Now this is a
disgrace to the eomunity and should
1m1 ended as our people do not approve
of it.

Attempted Suicide.
Mrs. Florentine Casas, whose hus-
band runs a tamale stand on the east
side of Main , attempted suicide Tues-
day afternoon by taking an ounce of
laudanum, which she purchased at
McGeorge's drug store. Casas and his
wife are addicted to quarreling and
the woman had previously threatened
to destroy her life. She took the
poison in the presence of her husband,
who immediately summoned a phy-
sician. About a half hour, however,
had elapsed before Dr. Murphy ad-
ministered an hypodermic injection
and necessary antidote and t) was Hi
o'clock at night before the victim was
past danger. Domestic trouble was
the cause of her act.
