ONE of the great events at the Chi­ cago Opera House in the hear future will be a production of the dramatiza­ tion of Haggard's great novel, "She," According to the Eastern papers where the pieee has met with great success, the wierd and imaginative quality of the story has been admira* bly transferred so the stage. The scenery is described as very gorgeous, the music is quaint, original and abun­ dant, and the whole piece is said to be a novelty of the most unusual charac­ ter. THOU shalt not covet thy neighbor's whole wood pile. *As the days begin to lengthen, the colds begin to strengthen," and your neighbor has need of all the fuel that he has. If you aro like an omnivorous porker In everything else, be a gentleman (?) when you visit your neighbor's wood pile, aud when you pluck the fruits ot his hen-roost. Do not back your sleigh up against bis already decima­ ted cord and take nine-tenths of the remainder, for In that wise you will soon have to sell. When you invade the ben-roost in the still night, do not go equipped with a four bushel coffee sack; you uan take four pullets n each band and a four-year-old Shanghai rooster between yonr teeth, and return home with fower chickens aud more manhood.--Ex. A PHILOSOPHER WQO called at this oflioe the other day to relieve his brain of some of the heayy troths accumu­ lated there, told us. among other tblng3. that "virtue was its own re ward." Wo agreed with him. We started in this business about eig bt Fears ago with a reasonably complete stock of virtue, and that is just about all we can show to-day--very little else, tIf we had as mueb money as w« have virtue, we would buy a pair el shoes and stockings for the protection •f the underpinning that holds up our possessions from out tbo mud and «lush. But then, this is a virtuous community, and people have little else with which to reward him who ear us something more necessary to the present requirements of life. Existence under such circumstances is well calculated to create a longing desire for something aside from virtue, and also the deplorable doubi of the pe8sibilily of finding potatoes tod virtue In the same hill. They 1on"t appear to thrive together.--«Sfcio {Ohio) Herald. THE coming revival by Bolossy Ki- ralfy of Around the World to SO Days, at the Chicago Opera House, promisee? to be upon an unusual scale of maguitl cence.
