An exohange says: The lastest soheme to swindle the farmer is being perpetrated under the guise of a so-called society to prevent the killmg of birds. A man invades the rural home, talks ghbly ab"ut eood being done for the farmer by the birde, and ends by asking him not to kill a bird in twelve months. The pledges with a little manipulation, turns up in the way of a promissory note and makea trouble. One of the very brightest of our exchangos, the Marquette Mining-.Tournal thus pavs lts respecta tn the bl itberskite who is running for governor on the repnblioan ticket in the Buckeye state: "Foraker continúes to talk against time and Cleveland in Ohio, as if he believed the issue in tbat state to be between him and the President. The mouthy blaokguard has a oertain kind of flueucy, an-l evidently imagines that he is able to produce a sort ot rbetorical cyolone that will sweep his path f ree from all obstacles to bis ambition. His harrangues may please Yahoo audiences, but in auy state but Ohio suoh a campaign as he is conducting would ensuro bit burial under an adverse majoiity that would forever oover him out of sight politically. Foraker's fnends now olaim that Sherman is not supporting him loyally in the oauvass this f all, wliioh is probably true. Apart from po litioal considerations affecting himself, senator Sherman is too much of a gentleman to regard Foraker with any feling lave thst of unqualifled diigmt."

The revival of "Ten Nights in a Bar Boom," at the Wieting was a theatnoal event in whioh much interest was inani(ested. The oompany produoing the old melodrama is a capable one, the comedy and sober parts being well assumed in every oase. The Brooklyn ohurch ohoir quartette is biougut into service in a very pleasintr manner. The play has been remodeled in seyeral respeots, but still retains the prominent features which gave ït success in days gone by.

Although the New York Herald advocates tho election of Col. Fred Urant, the republican candidato for secretary of state ïu New York, it has the fraukuess tu siy that it does so from motives of personal friendship Speaking in regard to 1888 the Herald says: "The democratie party has nothing to fear in the oontest of oext year. It is the party ot peace, order and union; it is the national party, and the only one. The republicana, always a seotional party, have stupidly chosen to remain so. Their appeal is to seotional suspicion and imtred. Under democratie rule the whole country has become unprecedentedly prosperous, beoause the democratio policy ia national and not sectional, patrotio and selfish." Courier : James B.

Cinoinnati Times-Star: Every seat at the Buckingham and even the standing rnom was taken, and the sale of admission tickets stopped before the curtain was raised on Mr. Frank I. Frayne's melodrama " Mardo the Hunter.' The play in full of thrilling incidents, the action starting from tbis country and progressing through Kussia to SiberiR, the land of the exiles. The burning hut scène is very realistic, aud when the trained dog " Jack ' goes to the reecue of bis master, unties the rope holding the door, and Mardo emerges from the burning building, the audience seem to forget that it is only a play, and give vent to their feelïngs by loud cheering. In the lait aot, where Mardo enters the lion's oageand takes the list of the names of Nihilista from the auimil's neok so as to prove bis iunocence, the audience is held spellbouud ui i til Mr. Frayne is out of the oage in safety. The Daih Courier of 8yracuse says the great moral drama, entitled "Ten Nights in u Bar Room,' from T. 8. Arthur's celebrated book of the same name, was produced at Wieting opera house by Leeoh & Stevens' 'iramatio onmpany, assisted by the Brooklyn oliuroh ohoir quartet. Tiie production has been almost entirely rearranued, the dramatic wrk has been brightened, and very many musical uumbers initroduoed in quai tets, trios, duets and solos, making it a most effeotive musioal and dramatio qomposition. and one that is as instructivo it is entertdining. The company pruduoing It is a most oapable one.

Sun has lost more than hrlf its oirculation.

And the same thing is being done in this oity, and hII oh account of the position of the News against the university, and lts vilittcationa of President Cleveland. Daily Press: The Frank I. Frayne combination opened a two nights' engagement at the Opera to a good audience in the sensational drama of "Mardo, the Hunter." The piece abounds in startling situations, tableauz, etc, and in the third act one of the most realisiic conflagrations that has been placed upon the siaiie ui many years is presented. In tact, the management have taken the precauuon to infnrm the Bpeotators that tuere is no danger m thia feature, as the whole soane of the flre is suri ouuded by a oaat-iron frame, and it is imposmble for the flamea to extend beyond it. Mr. Frayne, of oourse, is excellent in the title role, and he is ably supported by De Forrest and the remainder of the cast.
