The attaches of this Theatre are expected and will be compelled to extend courteous treatment to all its patrons.

Chairs will not be permitted in the aisles, nor will holders of admission tickets be allowed to stand except in the side aisles and lobby. Mr. Henry Irving. The engagement of Mr. Henry Irving, Miss Ellen Terry and the Lyceum Theatre Co., under Mr. Abbey's management, will mark an era in the history of the drama in this city which will long be remembered, and which but for the enterprise of such men as Mr. Abbey, would in all likelihood never have to be recorded. Mr. Abbey not only brings the greatest exemplaor of dramatic thought in its highest form, but an entire company of players from Mr. Irving's London Theatre, in order that the actor may appear everywhere at this best. This radically increases the expense of the undertaking – in fact, brings it up to a sum of money which would stagger most men. But the manager's experience with Madame Patti, Madame Bernhardt and Mrs. Langrty taught him that the American public will pay liberally for the best; hence his determination to give them the best and that only. To this end, a company of seventy people, several carloads of baggage, scenery and properties, and a largely increased orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Irving's own conductor, combine to make it the most notable of engagements. Mr. Irving's production of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice" is a most notable one, and serves to introduce Miss Ellen Terry, who as Portia, will make her first appearance in Chicago. The case is as follows: - Shylock – Mr. Henry Irving, Duke of Venice – Mr. H. Howe, Prince of Morocco – Mr. T. Mead, Antonio – Mr. T. Wenham, Bassanio – Mr. W. Terris, Salanio Mr. Lyndall, Salarino – Mr. Harbury, Gratiano – Mr. F. Tyars, Lorenzo – Mr. Norman Forbes, Tubal – Mr. J. Carter, Launcelot Gobbo – Mr. S. Johnson, Old Gobbo – Mr. Archer, Gaoler – Mr. Harwood, Leonardo – Mr. Harvey, Stephano – Mr. Clifford, Clerk of the Court – Mr. Louther, Nerissa – Miss Payne, Jessica – Miss Millward, Portia – Miss Ellen Terry. Magnificoes, Officers of the Court, Gentlemen, Gentlewomen, Pages, Citizens, Soldiers, Jews, Maskers, Musicians, Serenaders, Gondoliers, Moors, Fruit Sellers, Water Carriers, Servants, etc. "The Merchant of Venice" will constitute the bill for the remainder of the week, excepting Saturday night, when "The Bells" will be played. There will not be a Wednesday Matinee, but a Saturday Matinee will be given each week of Mr. Irving's engagement. The prices for reserved seats and admission tickets range from fifty cents to two and one-half dollars, which are the same as charged for Mr. Irving's performances everywhere. It is a fact very significant of the appreciation he is meeting with that the gross receipts so far in Mr. Irving's season, largely exceed any receipts ever taken in America for dramatic performances, and many of the grand opera engagements. During the engagement, Mr. Irving will appear in "Hamlet" "Charles I, " "Lyons Mail," and "The Belle's Stratagem." The order of their presentation will be made public in ample time for the advance sale of the second week. Abbey's Italian Opera Season. Chicago has in times past known some remarkably brilliant seasons of Italian Opera, and the coming of the Abbey Company will awaken recollections of Grau and Grover's successes at the old Crosby Opera House, and Mapleson's first and last seasons. Mr. Abbey is fully prepared, however, to astonish the most vivid recollections. His company numbers over three hundred people, and he is the first manager to bring an entire orchestra to Chicago, and that too, the largest one ever moved about the country. The list of artists is startling in numbers as well as in strength. He has Nilson, Sembrich (her first appearance in Chicago), Valleria and Fursch-Madi, Scalchi, Trebelli (her first appearance here) and Lablache. Campanini, Stagno (his first appearance here), Del Puente, Novara, Mirabella and Kaschman. The chorus numbers eighty-one people, the Orchestra contains seventy-five musicians, stage band twenty-four, and a Grand Ballet of forty coryphées supporting Madame Cavalazzi. Add to these the army of servants, costumers, dressers, perruquiers and baggagemen to say nothing of the business staff, and Mr. Abbey has over three hundred people in his retinue. The company is at present at the Boston Theatre, where they have created such a fashionable furore as even sedate and unexcitable Boston has never before known. The season at this Theatre will begin on Monday evening, January 21st, and will witness the production of several of the standard and popular operas, and the first presentation in Chicago of Pinchielli's "La Gioconda," which was never produced in America until the 20th of last month at Abbey's Metropolitan Opera House. It was received with great enthusiasm, and will no doubt be equally well received here. Due announcement will be made in these columns and those of the daily papers of the opening of the season sale. The season will open with Nilson, Scalchi, Campanini, Del Puente and Kaschman or Novara in Faust. If a musket ball be fired through a pane of glass, it will make a hole the size of the ball without cracking the glass; if the glass is suspended by a thread, it will not even vibrate when struck by the ball. Cork, if sunk two hundred feet in the ocean, will not rise on account of the pressure of water.

It gives powerful but not straining efforts of the throat instead of relaxing it. It properly narrows the throat instead of indefinitely opening it. It contracts the palate and prevents the flattening of the tongue, instead of expanding and lowering these parts. In a word, it gives the pupil the same voluntary control to move the vocal organs of the throat that any one has over the fingers of the hand, accomplishing in months the usual results of years. Send for circulars, or call at Room 33, Central Music Hall, between 2.30 and 3.30, when a five minutes trial will approximately describe the prospects of each one's voice.

A Shadow on the road through which we journey on to reach a happier abode, as surely as the evening comes to close the eyes of day, will grief appear: and so, my dear, be happy while you may. We cannot say to joy "Remain," Nor unto grief "Depart;" The morning and the night must come to every human heart. And though the twilight hour dispels the cheerful, sunny rays, shed not a tear: but oh! my dear, be merry while you may. The sky may not be always bright, the sea not always calm, nor breezes bring an argosy of spices or of balm. Tis time enough to weep and mourn when sorrow has its day; and you'll agree ‘tis well to be right merry while you may. Along the shores of life the tide have ceaseless ebb and flow; and through the year the seasons have their time to come and go. Then let us make the best of life, and it not always gay, or full of glee, why shouldn't we, be merry while we may? The other say on a railroad car a conductor had a smile for the little children, offered kindly to help the feeble women, and benefitted all by the clear tones in which he called out the names of the stations. A stupid man got on the wrong train, and a stupid woman neglected to get off at the right time; but for both this conductor stopped the cars with an unruffled face and no act of petulant insult. The day before he had taken his part in the prayers and songs of the little church where he lived, and there was where his strength came from. Nowhere is Christianity more needed than in the steamboat or railroad car, and nowhere, therefore, is Christ more ready to help us. A paper published at Amherst College has the following incident: He was a senior, and, as he fetched up at the bottom of those slippery steps, he ejaculated; "Hell (just then a professor came gliding around the corner) is paved with good resolutions." The professor smiled blandly, went to his room and gave that senior ten.

Nor can the reckless quack deceive the mind enraptured with the story, who from the facts learns to believe and gives to honesty the glory.

One of the simplest and most effective remedies for rheumatism is a lemon daily, until relieved. Take the juice of one lemon with sugar just before retiring. A good liniment can be made by dissolving gum camphor in coal oil. Make it as desired. When applying it, do not be near the stove. It will be found effectual also in neuralgia and similar ailments. The use of lemons cannot be to highly recommended. As folly on the one side, thought it should enjoy all it can desire, would, notwithstanding, never be content; so, on the other, wisdom ever acquiesces with the present, and is never dissatisfied with its immediate conditions.

Why a girl cannot throw a stone – The reason a "girl cannot throw a stone" is discussed in American weekly. The collar-bone, some inches longer, is set some degrees lower down than in masculine frame, which interferes with the free action of the shoulder – the reason she cannot throw. The paper arrives at the conclusion that this is a providential arrangement; at the temptations she has to throw – and the implements at hand – rolling pins, pot-lids, stove hooks, plate, glass, etc. Let us be thankful.

Cotton-seed meal is one of the richest vegetable substances used as cattle food, containing a large percentage of nitrogen and phosphoric acid and this is why the manure of animals fed on it is so valuable. The process of digestion consumes the oil and other carbonaceous matter in the meal, leaving nearly all the nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash to be present in the excrements. In well known English experiments it has been found that while the manure from feeding a ton of hay is worth $10, that made from feeding a ton of cotton seed meal is worth $18. Probably the only horse that served through the late war and wound up his campaign with a visit on duty to the plains, was Old Bill, the roan charger of Col. W. B. Tibbitts, of the Second New York Cavalry. In camp or on the march he was sluggish, but once under fire he obeyed the slightest touch of the rein, would jump anything, paid no attention to pistol firing on his back, and he could be turned loose with the certainty that he would not stray away. He was in more than twenty engagements, and was only wounded once. He has just died at Hoosick Falls, N. Y.
