The Kniry's W ell.
'Tho Fairy's Well" is an unusually inter
esting Irish drama , and people who appreci
ate plays in which nro mixed all the elements
of every day llfo , should not inlss nn oppor
tunity of seeing it. Last night this produc
tion was iirescntcd for the llrot tlmo
in Omaha , at Boyd's opera house ,
by W. II. Powers' company , and created a
very favorable impression. Being so simple
in story , feasible in plot nnd introducing the
most natural characters , it could not bo
otherwise thau interesting. There was the
proverbially herolu Irish lad and his sweet
heart , the iniscrlyold | villain , the aristocratic
Hconndrols , the persecuted heroine of high
birth , the ancient nmtrqn and tha aged
servant , all cither having their innocent
fun or plotting to ruin uomebody. Smith
O'Brien and cilia Hosebinl impersonated
very cleverly the llrst two characters , and.T.
A. Daily enacted the part of Dan Cnrmody ,
the villain , most effectively. Miss Junnlo
IClbon , Miss Alice Smith , Llttlo Zclla , Leighton -
ton Baker. Alfred W. P. Fremont and W. A.
Mac ) : , nil enacted their various roles
to the entire satisfaction of everybody.
Singing nnd dancing was u pleasing feature
of each act , and with his ballad , "I'm sav

hit. A waterfall scone in the llr.st uct was

congressional district are very indignant at
the attempt of John W. Jacobson to control
the patronage In Laitd's dhtricU Thcro was
n letter sent to Hon. James Laird and marked
"personal. " Mr. Jucobson answered It and
and Informed the writer thereof that It was
useless to mark anything personal , as ho
( .lacobson ) was attending to all of Laird's
business. The friends of Mr. Lnlrd want to
know why matters are thus. They all sym
pathize with him In his present condition. It
Is remarked bv many that none but the
friends of Jacobson need apply , as all other
applications were suppressed and wore never
examined by Mr. Laird. Your correspond
ent docs not believe that Mr. Laird would ,
for one moment , keep Mr. Jacobson as his
private secretary if such was the case. I
think this rumor was started by disappointed
aspirants , but should these cbarRos bo true
it will provo disastrous to Mr. Laird in the
future , as his friends have a right to demand
his personal attention to their anuhcattons.

of appetite , loss/of eyesight , dyspeptic
symptoms , irregularities of the bowels ,
are some of the 'symptoms of advanced
kidney disease. Warner's Safe Cure
cures those troubles , because it removes
the cause , and putting the kidneys in a
healthy condition , enables them to ex-
uol the poisonous or waste matter from
the system. This is why Warner's Safe
Cure cures so many symptoms that are
called diseases. "

Tholr I.nok of Oourtofly null Ahsniioo
of Ktiaucttc.
The Dulco of Wellington used to toll
a story ot Louis XVIIt. , kingot Franco ,
ivys tno Now York Journal. The tluko
vita taking a family dinner with the old
dnjj and the princesses of his court ,
ho Uuchoss of Anpoulomo nnd tlio
) uchbss of Herri. Upon the lablo , at
losort , was placed a dish of early straw-
jorrleB. The klnpf flollboratoly poured
.ham . nil out into his own plato , covered
, hcm with cream mid supnr and ate
horn , with/Jin offering' nny to the ladies '
or apologizing for not doing so.
Lord Million , the historian , on hoar-
tig the duke relate this anecdote ,
capped it with another. William III. ,
ting of England , dining ono day with
iis wife , Queen Mary , and Princess
Antio , aflonvnrd Queen Anne , ate the
contents of a dish of early peas without
a word ol apology to the two ladies. The
) uko of Wellington laughed and said :
'Aye , I hope it is not a royal custom. "
lis guests must have known what ho
nottnt by this remark. Uo had recently
gone through many troublesome and
some disgusting experiences with that
very vulimr and disreputable king ,
George IV. , of whom the duke after-
vtird said that "ho really could net llko
i gentleman for llftoan niinutesl"
There are no "nobles" more proud
if tholr ancient lineage and duo brood-
rig than those of Spain. Wellington ,
vho lived among them several years ,
said that they formed a little coterie
ibout the court at Madrid , never lived
ipon their estates , had no public life ,
and valued nothing but the potty dlst-
tinetions of the court circle. Ho de
scribes them as very good-natured
> eoplo , of crude and primitive man-
iors. but "complete liars , and destitute
of principle or high fooling. "
Tlio real aristocracy of a country con

vlth the true aristocracy , not oven in
, ho comparatively unimportant matter
of poll to demeanor. Some of the greatest
jlackguards now living on the earth
uid unexceptionable grcat-grand-
athors , and some of the most consum
mate gentlemen have made tholr way ,
unaided , from the lowliest homos , or
still inhabit them.
Ilohert r. Porter's Work.
Superintendent Porter expects iu a
short time to have 100 clerics engaged
on the preliminary work of the eleventh
census. Ilq will have 1,000 at work
next year , out the smaller number will
borvo until the actual work of onumora-
, ion is-ncarcr at hand. He says that
: io docs not intend to appoint his clerks
aider the civil service rules if ho can
lioln it , and ho does not believe the
secretary of the interior will interfere
with him in this. lie intends , ho says ,
io appoint his subordinates as ho would
in a newspaper ofllco , according to their
Itness for special lines of worlc , and it
is fair to say that ho seems to have fol
lowed this policy in the few appoint
ments already made.
A Straiif-o Ciiso or Aphasia.
A case of aphasia is reported from
Paris , which came under the treatment
of Prof. Charrot , the celebrated physi
cian for nervous disorders , says the
London Standard. A man , aged sixty ,
strong and apparently in full health ,
suddenly lost all power over his vocab
ulary , and some curious phases were
noticeable. The patient was mas-
tor of three languages , hla native
French , English , learnt during a rosl-
dance of flovontoon years in North
America , nnd Spanish , through his
marriage with n native of that country.
Ho lost his command of thcso several
languages In the Inverse chronological
order of tholr acquisition , as follows :
Spanish do-sorted him first , English lie
only retained in snatch phrases , Fronoh
remained in his memory so as to serve
him fairly , but the last two were fre
quently mixed , like Latin and English
in the mind of Dr. Wendell Holmes'
celebrated "lato Latin tutor. " The nf-
'fllction was ascribed to a softening in
the region of the third loft lobe of thp
brain. Through methodical praotico If !
conversation , the patient regained his
normal power week by week , recover
ing his languages in the following
order : French , English , Spanish.
LESS THAN A POUND IN WEIGHT ,
15tit a Healthy Child That Menus to
Ijlvo mill ( iron- .
John Ziegler , an expressman living at
649 West Fifty-fourth street , had a gen
uine surprise on Good Frldiiy , says the
'
Now York Herald. Ho had boon'out of
employment for some tlmo and wontout
that morning to perform some commis
sions for his wife , who was not feeling
well ,
On his return ho heard a faint cry ,
such as ho hud hoard on six previous
occasions , covering a period ot nine
years , but this cry was the weakest that
had over saluted him. A good-natured
woman living in the house had nursed
Mrs. Xioglor , and showed the aston
ished husband a fomnlo baby only six
inches long and weighing but thirteen
ounces.
I called nt the house last evening and
the mother smiled as she showed mo
her latest addition. The mite was tak
ing its nourishment at the time , and
raised "Cain" at being interrupted.
The mother said the child wns per
fectly healthy , and she has no tloubt
whatever of raising it. Beside the
mother was another child a big ,
strong , healthy girl of two years and
Mrs. Xlegler told mo that all her other
children were big and strong.
It IMrulc Him Tiroil.
The small son of a broker wns being
instructed in the proper form of pre
ferring requests at the table , says the
Boston Courier , but Hlco many another
small man ho found much dilliculty in
adapting himself to the requirements of
otiqiujtto , Ho was continually saying :
"I will take" this or that ; and as' con
stantly his father Would suggestively
return "If V" whereupon the neces
sary "if you please" would in duo
course follow.
The little follow bore it for a time
with oxombhtry patience , but at length
one day , when ho was hungry , ho mot
his father's suggestive interpolation
with the exclamation , made doubly pa
thetic by the despair of his tone and
tno tragic \vay in which ho laid his
hands upon his empty stomach :
"O. that 'if' 'makes "
. papa , mo pain !

The British consul at Havre says that
the complaints of Britis.li shipmasters
against the British tars are constant.
IIo has heard captains say frequently ,
"Givo mo Norwegians , S\yodes , or Ger
