He always had a pk-asant word for those be met, and no man better enjoyed a joke. Often have we heard jaron say when Mr. Jones was one of the twelve, that after beini? ocked up for the night, the time would ass quickly for he always had many a fjood story to teil.

X is not the work of a skillful dramatist, mt it possesses many elementa of poDularity. The emphatically demonstrative manner in which it was received s incontrovertible testimony that in spite of constructive cruditiesacareer of public 'avor, and therefore of pecuniary profit, s certain to attend "The Planter's Wife." The play will bc praised by most persons who see it, and it will, in all likelihood, ;o on to even better fortune than that which has steadily attended it since he first gave it to the stage. The character of "Edith Gray," is not oue the personation of which demands Miss Thompson's inest powers, but she is always interestng, frequently intense and occasionally great, as in the mirror -episode, and durng the entire scène that culminates in the rilling her husbaud'sescritoire.: - [Pree Press.
