PALMER ABROAD. _ . Mr. A.M. Palmer, Manager of the Union Square Theatre company, reached this city yesterday inorning to make the final arrange- * ments for the engagement of the company, which begins Monday at the Grand Opera- House. Mr. Palmer hasnot grown percepti- ‘rbly older since he first saw Chicago five yearsago. Ile was not with the company rdurmg the run of *‘ The Two Orphans” in $75, but he was in charge in 1876 when ***Ferreo!” and ‘‘ Conscience” were pro- yduced. Since then he has been a pretty con- sstant visitor, and is a firin believer in the at- tractions of Chicago us a place of summer resort. Mr. Palmer hag just returned: from 2 sum- mer tour in Eifope, having reached New “York a few days ago. Among his fellow- passengers on. the voyage home were John McCullough, Lawrence Barrett, and other actors and m&dagers. Being asked for some account of his European experience, its pleas- ‘ures and profits, if there were any, Mr. Palmer said:. “London ig delightful. It is the Babylon of . to-day. Paris is quieter and more like New York, though of course more brilliant. I en- Joyed my visit in London immensely, but was not able to get anythmg there or in Paris for the Union Square Theatre, either in the way of plays or actors. - “here is much to learn in the theatres of fondon. butnot as much as you might think Zrom reading what the critics and newspapers shave twosay. There are not above three per- . Bons I would care to have in my company, and -none of them are available. Ellen Terry, who splays tho leading woman parts in support -of Mr, Irving, is in many respects the most tinished actress I have ever secn on the -stage. I deem her much superior to Sara Bern- *hardt. Mrs. Kendalt (Madge Hobertson’ played ‘Coralie while I wasin London. Her reputation * “ds known to everybody and is well deserved. “Then there was 2 Miss Wallis woom 1 saw play . Beatrice; she has no great name, but is possibly “the coming woman or the English stage. 1 cer- tainly never saw that part nicarly so well done idefore, “What do I think of the American plays in -Lendon? Why, they haven't been improved by rtheir voyage across the Atlantic. I wish you :imicht see ‘The Banker's Daughter’ as ‘they . do it. The comedy element ‘has “been - butchered. Old Brown has "been cut out. Georye Washington Phipps has ‘Deen turned into a common, low-tlung Englisn Stage, Yankee. He is to any American more -comical asa travesty of character than any truce “type could be, but then be represents nothing in ~the heavens above, or the curth vencuth, or the ‘waterg under the earth. All the Americans in London will agree that “ The Banker's Daugh- ster” was ruined, so fur as the comedy part of it _ #008, by the changes introduced in England. “! Bronson Howard,.you know, is zood-natured, + and he yiclded too easily to the suggestions of “the managers. The English public is a «good one: intelligent, quick, and devoted to the. theatre—fur more so now than formerly; but they have a little clique of pluy- ‘writers and manugers in London who don't dare say their own souls belong to. them, and they ; Will not give the public a chance. “ _“Tney did * French Fiats” there, too, and mur- dered it. They gave it 2 local atmosphere and meaning. Now, it is French if anything can be, and what would be the harm of giving it to the English public with 2 French aud cbarac- ters. The adaption wus badly done; some of ‘the pojnts that took uproariously in our theatre only made a moderate. half-hearted laugh io London, and the reason was tbat they were poorly put. I was satistied of that. ‘The work- manship of the adapter disrusted me. “$Coratle,” the original of * Felicia,’ was not nearly so well done us with us. Madge Hobert- son was the only actress who could have been introduced into our cust without injury to it, and she would not have been an upeguivocal Amprovement upon Miss Carey. “But you mustn't think American managers and actors go to London ouly to be contirmed in their self-conccit.

Joy and ‘Charles I.’ Irving asked me if *The Cup’ would do in New York. I told him it would—if it were transferred from his theatre; but no manager on this side would be wise to undertake it It needs the most superb scenic effects, and a fine, intellectual, poetical type of acting which is not common on ‘this side. “As done at Irving's ‘Theatre the play was charming. ‘The Belle’s Stratagem * was done the same night. Nothing could be more widely separated from >The Cup’ than that old comedy; and Irving’s Dori- court -was as complete a triumph in its as any of his other parts. He made for a season in way these two pieces: 1 London, alternatmg them on off uights When ‘Booth was with him. But he had three or tour millivn people to draw on, and vrobably 150,000 transients constantly in the t oo Besides, as [ have said, the Euslisn public is devoted to Irving. He is as much an institu- tion as the opera. ‘There is no pecuniary reason ‘why he should ever come to America. He could not possibly do better hdre than he is already doing. at bome. ‘ “ His lago was a revelation. He is an intel- lectual actor. Whethor be is right or wrong in hisideaof a part, he always casts new lights ‘upon it, presents it from another point of view than. the common one, and wives the spec- tator an ansight ct ee depths of the character that he woul not be likely to get. from any other stezc performance of the play. - His Charies I. was interesting on this account, though the play was offensive to the American mind as presenting a totally untrue historical account of those times, Raking Charics a mar- tyr and Cromwell a brute. {But Irving is never content to be merely trafiitional, as Booth and ‘MeCullouch ure.

Indeed, he has done soinall! the plays produced at the Union Square since “ Daniel Rochat.” Mr. Whiting is now playing Strebelow in “ ‘Lhe Banker’s Daughter,” as produced by Colliér’s traveling Union Square company in New York. Tho story of “Daniel Rochat"’ is, in brief, a3 follows; The scene opens at Ferney, Voltaire's home, near Geneva, where the centenary of the great intidel is being celebrated. Dr. Bidache, a bitter and aggressive atheist (Stoddart), ana Wiliam Fargis (John Parseltc), a Icarned agnos- tie, who has no positive religious opinions, are awaiting impatiently the arrival ot Daniel Ito- chdt,2 young but most extreme disbellever. He comes, and explains that his delay bas been due toa romantic meeting with two American ladies, for one of whom, Lea Henderson, he has conceived a violent passion. Before be hus doue speaking the ladies are introduced on tha sture. They are in total iznorance of Danicl’s religious convictions. While they aro reacw- ing with Dauid their pleasant acquaintance, the shouts of the Voltuirean celebrants are heard in the streets. Daniel docs not confess sympathy with them, but slips away quictly and speaks to them. Led away by an irresistible impulse, be declares his love for Lea. She, in ansive, Ameri- cun way, accepts him without further inquiry, and the murriage is set for an early day. e ‘The civil contract is sizned. — Danicl thinks of nothing more. He is confounded when Lea. introduces #t tho wedding breakfast a clergyman. Daniel asks the reason for his pres- ence, and is told that be has been summoned to complete the marriage. He will not consent to a relizious ceremony. Lea then learns that he is anintidel. She refuses to be his wife, except in name, uniess their union shall be sanctioned by the Chureh. They separate. An uttempt ismade to bring the half-marricd Danie and Lea together. Much necotiation is carried on. Bidache and Foryis pass backward and forward as envoys extraordinary und am- bassadors plenipotentiaries. (Letters ure ex- changed. Lea sends word that her resolution cannot bealtercd. Bidache and Fargis withdraw. Then from the gloom of the balcony in the remote corner of the room, whick Is Lea's own apartment, Daniel Iochat himself advances. He has come to plead hisown cause. He asks Lea to reconsider, assures her azain-and aguin of bis passionate, devoted love, and attempts by his vehement clo- quence to overcome her faith and sense of duty, She seems for a moment to be on tho puint of yielding, but recovers herself, and warns Ddniel That he must leave her or lo3¢ her respect.

It is the key to the play. “Danicl Rochat’*will be done at the Grand Opera-House to-morrow night with all the oriz- inal scenery, costumes, and accessories ¢! ployed atthe Union Square Theatre in New York.

ART IN CHICAGO. « Tho Measure of Success Attained by the Lydian Gallery—Some New and Interesting Pletures. ‘The Lydian Art Gallery was opened a little Jess than three months ago, with many good. wishes from its friends, who recognized the important place it was destined to fill in the present state of art, or rather want of art op- portunities, in Chicago. It was a bold ex- periment to depend for financial success upon a public altogether unavcustomed to the habit of frequenting a permanent gallery, —of studying, becoming acquainted with, and oceasionally buying good pictures, But the result has justified the experiment, and people are beginning to find out that an hour ortwocan be passed very profitably and. pleasantly with this excellent collection, which, although not altogether what one could wish fora city of this size, contains nevertheless some fine exaniples of work by artists of acknowledged merit, Unquestion- ably, if the patrons of art work are keenly critical, appreciative, and generous, pro- ducers will rise to supply the public de- mand, for few artists are so unworldly us to despise those most potent of all influences, fame and fortune. 1t is unnecessary to give the entire list of pictures sold from this gallery dur- ing the dull summer months, when people zen- erally are out of town, but’ it has bean quite sutistactory to the managemont, the prices paid ranging all the way from $150 up to $1,00), the latter belng the amount received for the much- adinired ““Enoue," by H.A. Loop. The places made vacant by the sale of elxhteen or twenty cunvases bave been tilled by others of interest, and somewhnt later it is contemplated to show a fine collection of water-colors. Althougn no Chicago artists are at present represented in this zullery, they cannot but have the kindliest feelings towards the management. which bas nided them so liberally in the push and which now cordially extends to all of them the freedom of its rooms. Among the new pictures hung lust week {3 one just to the Jett. entering the main gallery, by .J. A.” Mitchell, numbered 95 ‘on the eatalog, and entitled ** Lost.” It1s a win- ter scene, and shows ao open lude throuza the woods. The: setting sua glowing bebind the black sadows of the trees produces a pretty bit of sky. Footprints in the snow lead through the opening down to the foreground, where two very swall children tell their own-story. They ure lost. A little boy comes first, evidently very anxious ana alurmed at the strange situation, but the brave little rellow bas taken off tis’cout and wripped it around his little sister, who is clinging bebind him, ber baby face full of ter- ror.. ‘The principal merit of the picture is in the tigures of the children, whose faces and pose ex: press admirably the feur and trust of on Tright.and muintiness of the other. ‘The trees ure fairly painted, but the snow hus a solid, pasty look, us though it had been poured over the hillside instead or floating quietly down after tho manner common to nature. The same artist’ exhibited at the last Academy exhi- bition in New York two _ high-priced and highly-approved pictures, ~ entitled “A Political Marriuze” and also “A Sunday Morning in Normandy.” A lurge picture, *Cut- tle and Landscape,” by Johannes Oortel, contains a spirited group ot Loman catue on one of the marshes of the Cumpagna. Tho cattle are well drawn, one in tho foreground stunding knec-deep in tha soft mire. On the opposit wall from this icture hangs another by G. Hepper, entitled ‘Twa Dogs," and showing two shepherd dogs lying in the broad sunlizbht on a Scottish moor. ‘To x lover of aniinals thisis x most interesting picture, so soft and tenderly painted that it seems mellowed by time, and you fancy it must be 100 instead of twelve Fars ol The wisdom aud sasiciousness of these dogs is well depicted, and the work upon them {is admirable, “A.

The miniature faces of all are most expressive and depict the intense interest felt in tho game. “Among the Breakers,” by S. G. W. Benjamin, the well-known artist and art writer, is a lange marine, showing a vessel tem- pest-tossed, and apparently at the mercy of tha cruel curling waves that dash avout it. While no doubt a truthful picture and well treated, it is the ordinary und commonplace view we ‘so often see, with green water und white caps, and suffers from its elosu proximity to the mysterl- ous and beautiful marine by Rebn, whieh has death iu its depths and life und motion in its waves. ‘A Subject for Thunksygiving,” vy J. W. Ehninger, was evidenuy suggested by the paint- iuz of u ‘Turkey Shoot” by the same artist. A jolly darky has just returned from the turkey ‘Shuot, where be hus npparently had good suc- cess, as he now holds up with great glee the material for bis Thanksgiving dinner in thp shape of a prize gobbler.

The artist is a son of the Lambdin whose roses have been so much admired and copied in all the art classe3_ of the city. Another Hower piece. vase of roses, by Miss M. K.

Chicago Now Leads Nine Games in the League Champion- ship Race. Their Grip on the Pennant Ap- parently Secure Beyond a Peradventure. It Is, However, an Open Question Which Club Will Get Sec- ond Place. Chicago Defeats Detroit in a Game Not- able for Strong and Brill- iant Play. Buffalo Beaten by Cleveland, Providence by Troy, and Boston by Worcester. Sharp Trick Played by a Chicago Gambler—Notes and Gossip. UME CHAMPIONSHIP. ‘The effect of the past week’s vlay has been to so confirm Chicago’s grip upon the League championship that there now remains scarce- Jy any roum for doubtasto theresultso faras regardstirst place. Chicago has won forty-one panes, lot twenty, aud has twenty-three yet to play; und is nine games ahead of Buffalo, which has won thirty-two, lost twenty-seven, and has twenty-five yet to play. Granted, for the sake of argument, that Chicago will win but twelve out of the remaining twenty-three games,—though ifs natural proportion would be sixteen,—this would bring its total of games won to fifty- three. ‘lo reach this tigure in games won But- falo must win. twenty-one out of the twenty- five yet to play, which is far beyond Butfalo's natural proportion, and my be reasonnbly set down as out of the question. Detroit, by the same rule of reckoning, would havo to win. twenty-two out of its remaining twenty-three games in order to tie Chicago,—a result outside the bounds of the possibilities, So that it may bo set down as detinitly settied that Chicago will win the’ -chumpionship, and the only thing left to speculate on is the standing ot the other seven clubs. Tho probabilities as to second place would seem to be in favor of Butfato, which bus the larzest number of games to play, though Detroit bas still a fair chance, and both Boston and Provi- dence are so closc—only three games behind Butfalo, and two behind Detroit—that either may secure the coveted hovor. Then again Cleveland is but four games in the rear of Bur- falo, und should make « formidable tight for second place. This week ought to im- prove Cleveland's standing. for it stands a fair chance to beut Buffalo in both the remaining games at - home, while Detroit wilt be lucky to ect a single game in Chicayo, and Providence and Boston-bave their bands full with Troy and Worcester. It is obvious, therefore, that the struggle for second pluce is far from decided us yet, and the battle will be full of interest to the very end. At tho close of last week's play tno situation was as follows: cuuns. om RUDE) = tOPRIDLO SY laroovcce! CHICAGO VS. DETROIT. The Detroit team’ returned yesterday for its last series of games here, and was wel- comed by upwards of 2,000 spectators. Be- ing deprived of the services of Gerhardt, who had been summoned to Washington to the bedside of lis father, the visitors presented Knight at second base and Reilly in right, field,—changes which undoubtedly weak- ened the efficiency of the team, but had very little to do with the outcome. The game was won by virtue of Chicago’s beautiful batting and great base-running, and the most perfect fielding would only have kept down the score of the victors to seven runs. Chicago had even more to contend with in the way of displacements in the team, necessitated by the illness of Quest, but the changes were not disudvantageous, Will- iamson’ and Kelly filling second and third, re- spectively, with brilliant success, while Nicol proved of value at bat and in running bases. Ly the sharpest kind of fielding, both sides wero prevented from: tallying untii the fifth inning, when Flint opened with a two-base hit, reached third on @ passed ball, and scored on Dairymp! single. Dulrympie stole second, and was spared by Knight's muff of Bennett’s throw, and on e hits by Kelly and Anson, aided by. 's stupid throw from right field, a total of three runs, one earned, resulted. In’ the sixth, after one out, Wood hit for two bases, but in attempting to get home on Knight's singie was beautifully fielded out by Gore's long throw to Flint, Knight reaching second on tho play, and being advanced to third on Hunton’s single. Powell sent a vicious bounder into right field which Nicol ran forward to guther fu order to heud him olf at tirst base, and Scemed certain to succeed: but the bull took a shoot high over his head and got away in spite of a big jump for it by the little mun, and Powell reached third, and brought in two men ou what ordinurily would have been an out at ticst. ‘These were Detroit's only eurned runs, the tally in the eighth being given by Flint’s mutf of 2 beautiful throw by Kelly to head off Wood at the plate. Chicugo got in arun in the seventh inuing on Nicol’s single and Foley's fumble and wild throw of a hit by Kelly; but in the eighth the circus broke loose, and for a time tho pale air was streaked with cfean hits. Wifliamson led off with a two- busér, and was brought home by Corcoran’s sin- gie. the latter being ‘butted to second by Flint, and forthwith stealing third cleverly. When Flint ran down to second Bennett throw tho ball to Knight, and by quick runuiug Corcoran tullied before it could ve returned to the plate. Nicol mide the second out, Flint going to third on the play. ‘Then came singies by Gore and Dulrymple, a double vy Kelly, and a triple by Anson, aud when Wiilamsin came to bat tho second time and was retired by Knight and Powell Chicago had scored six” earned runs off the | bionde chon, bringing the total to 10—3, as De- bhinked in the first halt the ninth in- ning, and the inst half not played. It was one ‘of the severest experiences Derby bus passed through this yeur, and one of the most vrilliant games the Chicagos have ever played. Detroit was lucky to zeta run aval, so admira- ble was Corcoran's pitching and so strong-his support.

A clever trick was perpetrated upon Presi- dents Hulbert and Evans yesterday by some Chicago gambler who evidently had placed some money on thé Clevelands against the Butfalos, and wanted to strengthen his chances of winning. While the Chicago- Detroit game was in progress President Hul- bert was mystiticd momentarily by the receipt of the following dispatch from tho President of the Cleveland Clu * CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 20.—1V. A. Hulbert, 108 Michigan avenue, Clricuyo: Nothing wrong that 1 enn tind out. Let me ‘know what it means, Cleveland at bat. First innitis, four roe xs” Readily surmising that Mr. Evans had been imposed upon by a bogus telegrum, Mr. Hulbert at once wired a reply to that effect, and soon re- ceived the following, dated Cleveland: “Telegram received + o'clock, signed W.

EVAN: Tho investigation promptly set on foot by the telegraph people revealed tho fact that a tele- gram, in Substance as follows, and written with ink in 2 bend wholly unlike that of Mr. Hulbert, had been tiled in the Chicago ollice of the West- ern Union, and addressed to J.

Hulber,” the seuder very shrewdly jeaving olf tne float *t” in Mr. Hulbert’s name, but putting on in its place sort of erooked flourish, and thereby taking no risk of a proseention for forgery. He rightly culenlated that Mr. Evans would overlook tha omission of the little final letter, ang very likely his only object was to brmy un intluence to beat that would tend to make the Clevelands all the more ‘anxious to beat the Butfatos, if only to show that there was “nothing wrong.” This supposition is strengthened by the fact that tho betting in Chteago Was not “two to one on Buf- to,” us stated fu the bogus telegram, but $10 to evelund, as is shown by the books at ley’s pool-room; and there was not to exceed Su all told bet here on tho game in Cleveland. twas a very sharp dodge, which w A for all it was intended, and wus so ingeniously con- trived that the perpetrator is safe from any un- pleasant cousequeuces, GOSSIP OF THE GAME. ‘The Oak Parks defeated tho Muywoods 8 to 6. 0.

Yesterday’s Proceedings at: the Desplaines Camp- Meeting. A Largely-Increased Attendance and Greater Enthusiasm. — Interesting Addresses by Various Promi- nent Clergymen. The Desplaines camp-meeting was favored with sunny skies and balmy breezes yester- day, a marked contrast to the day previous, when the catap was overcast with clouds and the air was damp and chill. The change in the weather emptied the cottages of their oc- cupants and impelled them to seek the in- vigorating influences of the open air. Each train that stopped. at the platform brought its quotaof visitors, though how they were disposed of was a mystery that no one could find out, as every cottage was filled almost to bursting already. Numerous tents had to be putup during the day in anticipation of a crush. : It was evident that the tide of religious en- thusiasin of the encampment was slowly but surely creeping up to high water, and that «When the boy evangelist Harrison should get to work, the roar of the breakers on the stony hearts of the unsaved, would be heard throughout the remainder of the woodland worship. Father Lasher’s early meeting at6 o’clock drew a body of worshipers that taxed the Evanston tent to accommodate them, This service seems to act as a tonic upon the workers who gather within its sacred inelosure; at all events the most suc- cessful of the exhorters and givers of testi- mony are found at the 6 o’clock meeting, AtS o’clock a Bible re: ading was given. by the Rev. S. M. Davis, of St. Paul, - ‘fhe ~ Robert Proctor,’ of Arlington Heights, preached at 10 ~—o’clock. He remarked that at quesuion of all the ages had ever been, “What is true religion?” ‘The Bible was abook of promises from God to man. ‘Three answers had been given to the subject-question —that it was something done for mun, something done in man, and something done by'man. The first was the prominent iden of the Jewish rit- ual, and it contained the truth, but not the. en- tire truth. That religion was something done by man was tho prevailing idea of the Moham- medan and cogaate systems. It was also the pervading iden of infidelity and heathenism. Tho latter submitted to srent bodily torture and privation to merit a salvation, or to attain it cust himself before the ‘car of | Jug- gernaut. ‘The idea that religion was something done in man was the central thought of Chris- tianity, but it also included the other two. ‘Tho speaker eluborated these points in an interest- ing manner and at considerable length. THE EXHORTATION WAS LED by the Rev. Ezra Boring, of Wheaton, who be- gun with the remak that he was glad be had got religion, a sentiment that was greeted with ex- ¢lamations of “Glory to God” end“ Amen.” ‘The exhorter wanted ull who were in the sume bappy frame of mind to say “Amen,” where- upon a mighty cry of “Amen” filled ‘the can- vas.. As the venerabie speaker proceeded in his exhortation he waxed exceeding fervent, and was greeted with frequent shouts. It was ‘said of the.Devil that he had no happy old peopie. but that God hud a great muny. [* Praise the rom a gray-haired patriurch, and * Tsl- lelujan " trom an aged sister whose face shown with holy joy.]_ Why should they not be happy? for as they walked down into the valley of tho shadow of death they could bless God for a full and free salvation. About twenty-tive sin-sick souls bowed at the altar, some of them bucksliders, the others seeking salvation for the tirst ime, and the usual scenes were witnessed. A number of ex- Periences were given. most of them short and to the point, but when an old lady in a very weak voice, that couldn’t be heard two rods awuy, got’ fuirly going on the recital of her conversion many years ago, and there was no immediate. prospect of its ‘termination, tho leader was compelied to interrupt her with “God bless you, sister; letus sing "Tis the Prom- ise of God Full Salvation to Give.” -\t tho close of the meeting the worshipers crowded to the front to shuke hands with the seekers, and a good time was had singing the songs of Ziun. After dinner @ children’s service was held in tho Tabernacle, at which there were gathered some two hundred of thelittlefolks. There was a sprinkling of the oluer people, but a striking fexture was the presence of all the white-haired veterans of the camp. The singine was under the direction of the ltev. O. W. Cessna, und consisted of the familiar Sun- day-school hymns. A choir of zirls with organ and cornet accompaniment added to the gen- eral excellent effect. Sr--D. W. Potter, of Chica- go, then addressed bis juvenile auditors on the Gospel invitation, *t Whosoever will let bim take of tho water of life freely." Tho little folks were called upon for the testimonies, which thoy favo in the shape of whatever Bible promises thoy could think of. FOREIGN MISSIONS. At a meeting of the Woman's Foreign Mis- sionary Society held yesterday the following otfi- cers were vlected: President, Mrs. Georze Miller; Vice-Presidents, M R. B. Mitchell, rs.J.E. Kennicott. Mrs. Kecording . Clough; user; Corresponding See- . Ormiston; Treasurer, Miss retury, M: fe Addie Brown, ‘The Rev. J. H. Aljing preached in the after- noon to the largest congresation that bad yet assembled in the big tent, bis text being Ephe- slans iii, 15, “Of whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named.” Att o'clock a mecting was held at the cottage of tho Chicayo Praying Band, which was not large enough to contain all who sought udmis- sion. It was led by D. W. Potter und considered _ the promises of God. There was none of the outburst of holy Joy that was visible the day before, but the meeting was pervaded by a cur- rent of profound solemnity, and its most touch- ing feature was the accounts given by several aged mothers, ot the answers that God had giv- en to their prayers in behalf of wandering sons. One young man got up and said that he had just given his heart to God, and no sooner had he taken ‘bis seat than his mother sprang to ber feet, exclaiming that her prayer was answered atinst. Tho little incident was a decided stim- ulus to the exercises und many persons were.af- fected to tears. ‘There is a large Swedish representation in the camp, and numerous services are held in their commiodious chapel, or in n tent which was put up yesterday, They were addressed last night by the Rev. 8.

She did not frown on him, and before lony the young white man and the Tndiun giri became very fatimute. . For a while all went well, but gradually Sutton censed cull- ing on the Indian muiden and refused 0 notice her auy more, She demanded an explunation of hisconduct. He refused togive any, and she began a suit for breacn of promise and seduction, laying ber damages at $5.00, When the case was called” Susan failed to produce the necessary evidence of Sutton’s talsity, and he was aceordingly dis- vchurged. Until within the last year Susun hus bad no admirers, but about one year nyo a young Cuucasian named Joseph Richards met Susan, became euctanted with her, and paid court to the dusky damsel quite regularly. 5. thick did they become that it was rumored they were to be murried.
