The authors are Mr. William 'onng, wh© wrote the successful trage­ dy, " Pendragon," and Mr. John G. Wilson, of Chicago. The suggestion for the plot was derived from one of George Sand's novels. The work is a romantic melodrama, in prose, full of stirring cidents and strong, intense situntio: Geo. B. Rdekwell, E. K Tittoai, Miss Mrs. OhasJPtfSRs. During the months of Jane, Jahr and August there will be produced at this theater the new {day cnlled "A Square Man," a drama of Weetera lite. The Hanlan Brothers will appear in their marvelous pantomimic Parisian absurdity, •' lib Voyage En Suesse," and the cew En­ glish drama, the latest London success, "Taken Prom Life," will receive its in­ itial representation in this country. The new tragic star, Miss Margaret Mather, will also make her first appearance at this theater. Visitors to Chicago may always be sure of finding It MoVicker's ment of the very highest order, HE MUST HAm amt The in­ ns. company engaged includes Joseph Tfc« Sapreme Court of the taaes Cuiteau a New TriaL In the District Supreme Court at Washing­ ton, May 22, Justice James announced the de­ cision of the court in banc upon the exceptions in the Guiteau case, denying a new trial and affirming the judgment below. Justice Hag- ner, in a separate opinion, discussed the bear­ ings of the old Maryland law, and held that even under the Maryland act of 1785 the in­ dictment would have been good in this Dis­ trict and Justice Cartter stated that the opinions given were the unanimous opinions of tbe court. The court holds that jurisdiction is complete where a fatal blow is strode, without regard to the locality of actual demise; that tbe bullet fired at the President by Guiteau on the 2d aav of Julv, in this city, was ths cause of his death, and that the trial could only have been held in Washington; that tile death of tb* President in New Jersey, except as affected by local statutes, «ouid not, change jurisdiction. The assassin had not been in New Jersey, had committed no offense against New Jersey laws, and the mere fact of the victim being removed to Elberon to prolong his life or save it, if pos­ sible, could not be made to affect the character of the crime. The intelligence of the decision of the court was conveyed to Guiteau a few minutes after its announcement in court, and was received by him with stolid indifference. He said to the guard who gave him the intelligence that he had not anticipated anything else. " My de­ pendence is now placed in President Arthur," he said. " I made him what he is, and he can­ not afford to go back on me." The assassin has permitted his beard to grow and his face is covered with stubble, which causes him to present & very unattractive ap­ pearance. He was asked by a visitor why he did not shave, and quickly replied that his bar­ ber, a fellow prisoner, had been dischaiged a few weeks ago, and ho did not know any one as yet capable of filling the vacancy. Gen. Crocker says that Guiteau is afraid to trust himself with a strange barber for fear that an­ other attempt will be made on his life. His sole anxiety, said the General, seems to be that he shall be properly protected from would-be avengers. The rule in regard to visitors will be strictly enforced hereafter; no one but his guards and counsel will be permitted to see him. Speak­ ing of the arrangements for his execution, Warden Crocker said that the preliminaries could be arranged at short notice, the only articles to be prepared being a rope and the adjustment of a spring attachment to the scaffold. This gloomy instrument of death is in a direct line with the cell occupied by the condemned, being in the upper end of the north corridor, while his cell is in the first-ear* rid or. . Those Siberian Wolf Stories. , Now* as to Siberian wolves, or, rather, I should say those of Southern Siberia and Orenburg, I am compelled reluct­ antly to admit that they are not in the habit of attacking travelers on the road. Arrant cowards, they may bark at and follow solitary wanderers, but as a rule they confine their attacks to the farm yards of -the villages, or watch their op­ portunity through the day to get a young and juicy horse that has strayed away from the drove, or a sheep that has strayed from the flock and the care of theirs nomadic shepherds. -During aU- our long journeys we have seen only thirteen wolves, besides the in, aginary ones in the Urals. One evening, three days after the above adventure, about seven, while we were watching the moon-lit snowscape, my companion shouted, "Here they are!" I looked out and there saw seven of the' brutes, as big again as good-sized foxes, passing leisurely across the road immediately in front of our sledge. After we had passed they stopped and looked after m in the most leisurely manner. We ordered our yemschik to stop the team, and getting out of the sledge, had time to take out weapons, load them and fire before they ever attempted to move from the spot; and then they went away quite leisurely, as if they were not qmte.sure what waa best to be done--whether to remain in the line of fire, where they were comparatively safe, or by running away to put themselves in the way of an accidental death. Another time two wolves crossed the road and waited for 11s to have a shot at them before fchey thought of loping off to safer (?) quar­ ters. To show you how little danger there is from the attack of the ! Siberian wolf, I may add that drivers scaroely notice their presence, and that when peasants of the districts through which they have passed want to chastise the brutes for robbing their farm yards and devouring a fat Iamb or so, they mount their fleet little horses and, armed with a heavy club, they start out to hunt the marauders down on the steppes. This they can do easily enough when the snow is soft and only a foot or so deep, for the wolf soon becomes exhausted, until finally, panting for breath, he sits down on Ms haunches and quietly waits for the hunter to knock him over the head with his club. As for wolves fol­ lowing the sledge, I am inclined to doubt that they ever do this on the great post »routes. It is the one absorbing risk of a traveler in Siberia to tell about the wild race before the hounding wolves; to describe how he shoots tbe one which approached nearest the sledge, and how the brute's companions stop to devour their former leader and coinpah- panion, while the yemschik whips up the horses at a terrific speed until the dan­ ger is passed and the traveler is depoa- ited in safety at the next post station. I know that a narrative of a Siberian sledge journey will be incomplete without such a wolf-hunted adventure, but Siberian wolves on Siberian post routes are not plentiful, and if plentiful are arrant cowards, and scarcely more dangerous than foxes to travelers.--Correspondence Nino York Herald. Hf re*c Treatment of a Snake Bfte. An idiot confined in the County Man­ ual Labor Poor House was bitten by a rattlesnake on the forefinger of the left hand, the fangs penetrating both sides of the finger. About three minutes after the bite was Inflicted Mrs. Symington, wife of the Superintendent, split the fin­ ger on both sides with a razor, poured a small quantity of powder,into the wound and set fire to it. She then applied am­ monia, and also gave ammonia and whisky inwardly until the man became drunk. This was a very brave act for a lady to do, and it saved the poor man's life. The next day the arm and hand were swollen to twice their natural size, but in a few days the man was all right again. The snake was killed and four rattles were taken oft--San Antonio (Texas) Express. How will many things that ara familiar look when we come to aee them from that new and distant point of view which we must all take up, one day or other. ~~IHcken». -V>* , ,^1 A Koarnoratreetdeatiat, wfco is any thing but old jia yc*H or hia profession, haa performed the difficult artiatto job of supplying a horribly disfigured human woe with aa artificial noeeand upper lip. A reporter who had heard that the op­ eration was to b«* ^erfortaed called upon the skillful practitioner and requested permission to witness the achievement of science. The dentist consented to gratifv his visitor's curiosity, and stated that the patient waa a Chinese woman, whose nose and upper lip had been de­ stroyed by cancer. " She will be here in a few moments," said the dentist, and almost immediately the woman entered, accompanied by a man in Chinese attire whose face offered incontrovertible evi­ dence of an admixture of Caucasian blood. The woman held a handkerchief to her face until she had taken her seat in the operating chair, when she re­ moved the cloth and displayed a*counte­ nance inexpressibly horrible. She had been once good-looking beyond the de­ gree of comeliness usually displayed by the Chinese women one sees in Califor­ nia, for her cheeks were round and her eyes rather shapely. The disease had, however, not ooly deprived her of a nose, but had destroyed her upper teeth ana left the bones bar® and surrounded by frightful cicatrices that ran through the corners of her mouth and np the bridge of the nose toward the eyebrows. To make snch & face presentable seemed an impossibility, but the tusk was per­ formed speedily and successfully. The nose and lip had already been molded in eelluloid from a plaster cast of the face, and, having been carefully colored, pre­ sented a most life-like appearance. The dentist in molding the nose had to de­ pend entirely on hia imagination, and had modeled a thoroughly Asiatic one. Tbe artificial lineaments having been prepared, there remained only the inter­ esting but difficult feat of attaching them. In supplying artificial noses it is customary to attach them by spectacles, but in the Chinese woman's case such an arrangement would have been impos­ sible, owing to the great size of the dis­ figurement caused by the loss of the lip and teeth. The difficulty was overcome by attaching a gold spring to the upper jaw in the manner in which single teeth are affixed. The Bpring ran up to where the bridge of the nose should have been, and to this spring the artificial nose and lip were attached by an India-rubber loop. The combined pressure of the spring and the Indiar-rubber drew the celluloid mask so close to the face that, being molded to fit the cheeks, it would have looked quite natural but for the lack of that transparency which living tissue possesses. While the woman's countenance was in repose, the effect of the work was remarkably good, and the transformation which it effected in her looks was so great that she eagerly seized the mirror offered by the dentist, and, looking at her reflection, she uttered an exclamation of surprise and delight. She give the practitioner a handful of ten- dollar pieces, and trotted off with her half-caste escort, filled with a satisfaction at parting with wealth seldom shown by Mongolians.--San Francisco Bulletin. . Marrying Titles. It was not long since that a French eouut in Paris, who had married a wealthy and accomplished American lady was detected, secretly pawning her diamonds and jewels to raise money to gamble with, while she lay on her death­ bed. He had sjient immense .sums of her money in fatting and ^unbling, and in living a life of profligacy, and had treated her so cruelly during their short married life that she died broken­ hearted. An accident recently happened in the Kingdom of Wurtemburg which caused quite a ripple in the upper class of society there at the time. A. German baron, who had started with his wife to visit her home in America, had got as far as the railway station when he waa arrested by his creditors, who supposed he was fleeing the country never to re­ turn, for heavy debts which he had incurred through gambling and a disso­ lute life. He had 110 means with him to pay the demands, neither had his wife, ana as their trunks bed been sent on in advance, and the arrangement® all made for the journey, he told his wife to keep on and he would meet her in Liverpool before the sailing of their steamer alter having made some arrangement with his creditors, This wife went on to Liver* pool and this baron stayed behind, but' it was four or five days before he waa able to satisfy hia creditors, either by promises or the interposition of some kind friend so as to be able to depart. While thus detained, the pocket money his wife had given him to pay his ex­ penses to Liverpool had disappeared, but another compassionate friend was induced to loan him $500, by giving se­ curity on Ms wife's furniture and silver- plate so that he was enabled to start on hia journey. Passing through London he fell among gamblers at on© of the clubs who could handle the cards better than he could, and his $500 quickly dis­ appeared, with the exception of a small amount, just sufficient to take b-im to Liverpool, where he at length arrived to find that his wife had left in a steamer three days previous, and hfinself without a dollar in his pocket Representing to one of the steamer agents who he was, and showing papers that identified him as being a Veritable baron, he was per­ mitted to take paasage on the next steamer, with the understanding that his passage would be paid at the other ©nd of the route, where his wife or his wife's relations would come to Ms aid--and which it is to be presumed they did. An American lady who married a title in Saxony, after enduring several years of cruel treatment, neglect and misery, re­ cently took sudden flight to her friends across the Atlantic, forsaking the bed and board of her titled husband) never to return to it. Such incidents as these of unhappy marriages contracted by Americas girls abroad are constantly taking place, and a record of their histories and the wretched lives which many of them have led would fill volumes. Marriages with foreigners which have proved happy and unalloyed with more or less misery are exceptional and far between. To those ambitious mothers who would sell their daughters for a title, and to those dmu^h- ters who would run the risk of sacrificing future happiness by uniting themselves to worthless scions of nobility, I would give Punch's advioe to the unmarried-- "Bon't,"--Springfield Republican. m A Supply Beadv.
