word, "immense." He is one Of the
best comic Irishmen We ever saw and
shows that be has been hiding his light
under q bushel BY not taking to the

ment was excellent throughout. Sue
Robinson as "The Prince" in the extrav-
aganza of "Camaralzaman" was loudly
spplauded by the Carson play goers who
are delighted to see her here once more.
Murphy is pronoanceda great card and
his performance tonight of "That Ras.

play Of "White Pine" and the play of
"Cinderells," in which Miss Robinson
takes the principal character will be GER

TAKE WARNING !

THE v. 4 T. r. R. co. ARE ANXIOUS TO
i take due precaution against accidents and
loss Of life resulting from the running of their
trains; and they take this method Of warning pa
rents and guardians against the dangers attending
the too common practice Of children playing about
their cars and locomotives Those having in charge
the business of the Company find it impossible to
PERSUADE boys, who frequent the termini and stop
pig places Of the road from climbing upon the
cars and engines; and they will feel themselves
obliged to resort to decided measures If these
annoyances are continued Recent accidents
which wholly ascribable to the carelessness Of
persons ia jumping on and on the cars when in
motion, should Be warning enough in themselves.

Something Scandal0us.

Some families are such actors, and so slim
ulated by pride, that they are generally looked
upon as patterns Of domestic propriety, and
even felicity. They are sleek, gen'eel, self
complacent, soft voiced, and smooth tongued !;
they hold, in fact, that place in the human
kind that birds do in the brute kingdom.
Those who know them best can tell some
very different things about them-how they
wrangle in private, have their own geuteel
way of fighting, are fierce and tricky; in
word, imperfect like everything else on earth,
and not the same their friends would make
them. ,.s.
The most universally i'll tempered things in
the world that make any show Of decency are
the birds With all the talk about the pretty
manners, they are ruder to each other than
dogs; and, as for their hymns of thanksgiving
and woodland notes of praise, they never fail
to quarrel at a feast like pirates. Their gen
tlemen can fight harder for the fun Of the
worse about the possession Of an empty knot
hole, than is by any means respectable; while
as for connubial bliss, the bridegroom beats
and knocks his wife about in manner that is
disgrace to his fine clothes.
About half their pretty songs are given IN
angry defiance of each other. The jealousy
of musicians is proverbial, and nowhere strong
er than among the " songsters of the grove. =
An outsupg bird is very apt to die of the
most unworthy chagrin, and when 2 presump-
tuous warbler "puts in T" with another
song. he is notified, in burst Of melody, that
g if ha don't shut up, he'll get his nose peck
ed off"
We have seen the suppos d-to- emery
little singer of our suburban gardens-the
pap-with scarce feather on him, and his
head bunged up" like prse fshtcrs.
We do not think one person in fifty appre-
ciates the fitness of the slang phrase SO often
applied to wild and unprinciped young men
{" les Bird 1t is meant generally as
pet name, but, really, its a hsG / name to give
any man.
